2025 capped off another strong year for fixed income ETFs, as ongoing market uncertainty pushed more investors into the safe confines of bonds. When it came to inflows, it was Vanguard that was well-represented with four funds cracking the top 10.

Topping the Vanguard list were the Vanguard Total Bond Market ETF (BND) and Vanguard Total International Bond ETF (BNDX), at 21 billion and 13 billion inflows respectively. The two funds couldn’t be more different in their focus, proving that investors are looking at the full spectrum of fixed income opportunities within and outside the United States.

BND is a go-to option when looking to get investment-grade exposure to a broad set of U.S. debt. BNDX, on the other hand, eschews U.S. debt exposure by focusing only on international, investment-grade bonds. International assets gained more attention in 2025 amid a weakening dollar, geopolitical tensions, and other macro factors. Both funds can be used as standalone options or used in tandem to extract the most diversification in the global bond market.

With three consecutive rate cuts to end the year, short-term bond funds saw greater demand in 2025. Depending on just how aggressive the Fed gets with rate cuts this year, short-term bond funds could continue to be a strong option. The Vanguard Short-Term Bond Index Fund ETF Shares (BSV) took in just over $8 billion inflows last year.

Aside from mitigating rate risk, short-term bonds could also serve as a means for investors to park their cash. Rather than stay in cash, investors can use BSV to earn a return on their money to meet future expenses. It’s one of the ways to creatively use short-term bond ETFs.

Corporate Comeback With more rate cuts forecasted for 2026, this could bring further tightening in credit spreads. Tightening spreads is also evidence that the outlook for corporate bond fundamentals have improved, further supporting their investment case in the new year. Some market experts also view corporates as safer bets than government debt, giving them even more appeal with their relatively low risk premium compared to years past.

About about $8.6 billion inflows in 2025, the Vanguard Interim-Term Corporate Bond ETF (VCIT) saw investor interest. The fund tracks the Bloomberg U.S. 5-10 Year Corporate Bond Index, which includes U.S.-dollar-denominated, investment-grade, fixed-rate, taxable securities issued by industrial, utility, and financial companies. The intermediate bond focus balances rate risk mitigation and higher yield when looking at corporate debt exposure.

Funding supports previously announced multi-billion dollar expansion at Centrus' enrichment facility in Ohio

Expected to create thousands of American jobs as Centrus restores the country's ability to enrich uranium at large scale

, /PRNewswire/ -- Centrus Energy (NYSE: LEU) announced today that it has been selected by the U.S. Department of Energy for a $900 million task order to expand its uranium enrichment facility in Piketon, Ohio, to include commercial-scale production of High-Assay, Low-Enriched Uranium (HALEU).  Centrus intends to leverage the competitively-awarded federal funding to support its previously announced multi-billion dollar expansion in Piketon – which will also include additional Low-Enriched Uranium (LEU) production to serve commercial utilities and the existing reactor fleet.   

The project is expected to support thousands of American jobs, including:

1,000 construction jobs and 300 new operating jobs in Ohio, while retaining 150 existing jobs at the Piketon plant. Hundreds of new direct jobs at Centrus' centrifuge manufacturing plant in Oak Ridge, Tennessee and across a nationwide network of suppliers. Thousands of indirect jobs in Ohio, Tennessee and across the country. "This award represents a historic commitment to revitalizing America's nuclear fuel supply chain and reclaiming American nuclear leadership on the global stage," said Centrus President and CEO Amir Vexler. "I am grateful to the Trump Administration for making this commitment and to Republicans and Democrats in Congress who came together to provide this urgently needed funding.  This award will catalyze additional private investment and supports the prospect of further expansion as the market continues to grow.  Uranium enrichment in Ohio has a big future, and this is just the beginning."

The award from the Department was made possible by a bipartisan funding package championed in 2024 by House Energy and Water Appropriations Subcommittee Chairman Chuck Fleishmann, who represents Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Vexler expressed special thanks to Ohio and Tennessee Congressional leaders including Senators Jon Husted, Bernie Moreno, Marsha Blackburn and Bill Hagerty, Congressmen Troy Balderson, Mike Carey, Bob Latta, Dave Taylor, and Fleishmann, as well as Governors Mike DeWine and Bill Lee – all of whom have been strong supporters of Centrus' work to restore America's domestic uranium enrichment capabilities. 

Under a contract with the Department of Energy initiated in 2019, Centrus constructed a cascade of its AC-100M advanced centrifuges to demonstrate production of HALEU – an advanced nuclear fuel needed for the next generation of reactors.  The plant became operational in 2023, and continues to produce HALEU under contract with the Department of Energy. 

As part of its expansion, Centrus intends to build additional centrifuge cascades to expand its HALEU production capacity, produce LEU feed material for the HALEU cascades, produce additional quantities of LEU to serve the commercial market, and service national security needs.  The company has already secured $2.3 billion in LEU purchase commitments from utilities – including both domestic customers as well as export customers – contingent upon securing the necessary financing to build the new capacity.  Centrus also raised more than $1.2 billion in private capital via convertible note transactions in November 2024 and August 2025 to support its expansion plans. 

Centrus and the Department of Energy will now finalize a contract that will govern the award.  In the interim, Centrus is continuing to gear up for the expansion by expanding its workforce and capabilities.  Last month, the company announced that it has launched domestic centrifuge manufacturing at its centrifuge factory in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, to support its planned expansion.  The first new capacity is expected to come online in 2029. 

The fixed-price base task order amount for the award is $900 million to bring new enrichment capacity online.  The award also includes options, at the Department's discretion, for up to $170 million to produce and deliver HALEU to the Department, so that the total task order contract value with all options included is $1.07 billion.

About Centrus

Centrus Energy is a trusted American supplier of nuclear fuel and services for the nuclear power industry, helping meet the growing need for clean, affordable, carbon-free energy. Since 1998, the Company has provided its utility customers with more than 1,850 reactor years of fuel, which is equivalent to more than 7 billion tons of coal.

With world-class technical and engineering capabilities, Centrus is pioneering production of High-Assay, Low-Enriched Uranium and is leading the effort to restore America's uranium enrichment capabilities at scale so that we can meet our clean energy, energy security, and national security needs.

Why: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of Telix Pharmaceuticals Ltd. (NASDAQ: TLX) between February 21, 2025 and August 28, 2025, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important January 9, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline in the securities class action first filed by the Firm.

So what: If you purchased Telix securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

What to do next: To join the Telix class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=43778 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than January 9, 2026. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

Why Rosen Law: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved, at that time, the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

Details of the case: According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) defendants materially overstated the progress Telix had made with regard to prostate cancer therapeutic candidates; (2) defendants materially overstated the quality of Telix's supply chain and partners; and (3) as a result, defendants' statements about Telix's business, operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages. 

To join the Telix class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=43778 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

Polkadot's DOT declines in U.S. afternoon selloffThe technical breakdown erased earlier gains as DOT plunged through $2.19 support on heavy volume. Jan 6, 2026, 6:16 p.m.

DOT$2.1508 surrendered earlier gains in a sharp reversal Tuesday to trade 3.3% lower over the last 24 hours.

The token underperformed wider crypto markets. The Coindesk 20 index was 1.3% lower at publication time.

STORY CONTINUES BELOW

DOT volume ran 17% higher than the 30-day moving average, suggesting institutional distribution rather than retail capitulation, according to CoinDesk Research's technical analysis model.

The model showed that the day began with DOT climbing to $2.17 on strengthening participation, tracking closely with the broader cryptocurrency complex.

Resistance at the $2.24-2.26 zone repelled a breakout attempt, setting the stage for the subsequent breakdown, according to the model.

Price deterioration accelerated as DOT carved through multiple support zones in three distinct capitulation waves, the model said.

KuCoin Hits Record Market Share as 2025 Volumes Outpace Crypto Market

Dec 22, 2025

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.

What to know:

KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.More For You

Riot Platforms sold $200 million of bitcoin in 2025's last two months

56 minutes ago

VanEck’s head of digital assets said bitcoin sales and the AI trade are increasingly linked as miners fund infrastructure build-outs.

What to know:

Riot Platforms sold 1,818 bitcoin in December and 383 in November, generating approximately $200 million and reducing its BTC balance to 18,005 coins.Matthew Sigel of asset manager VanEck said the sales could fully fund the first phase of Riot’s Corsicana AI data center build.

Tether has introduced a new unit of account tied to its digital gold token, XAUT, in a move aimed at lowering barriers to fractional gold ownership at a time when institutional investors and central banks are accumulating the precious metal at record levels.

On Tuesday, the stablecoin issuer unveiled Scudo, a unit of account representing one-thousandth of a troy ounce of gold. 

Each Scudo corresponds to 1/1,000 of an XAUT token, Tether’s gold-backed asset. XAUT is supported by more than 1,300 gold bars held in custody and currently has a market capitalization of roughly $2.3 billion, according to Tether. 

Tether said the introduction of Scudo is designed to make gold ownership more accessible. While gold has long been viewed as a reliable store of value, direct ownership has historically been constrained by storage, custody and divisibility issues. 

Although XAUT already addressed many of those challenges by tokenizing physical gold, Scudo is intended to further simplify smaller, onchain transactions backed by the metal.

According to the company, the move represents a step toward making gold more easily transactable on modern digital rails, rather than serving solely as a long-term store of value.

Source: Paolo ArdoinoPaolo Ardoino, Tether’s chief executive, described gold as “the ultimate store of value alongside Bitcoin,” following a record-breaking year for bullion prices, which climbed above $4,550 per troy ounce. 

In a social media post, Ardoino compared Scudo to satoshis, the smallest unit of account for Bitcoin (BTC).

The new gold rushPrecious metals posted a record year in 2025, with gold prices rising roughly 65% amid renewed de-dollarization efforts, aggressive central bank purchases and persistent inflation concerns among investors.

The rally extended beyond gold. Silver prices climbed more than 140% during the year, reaching about $80 per troy ounce, underscoring broader momentum across the metals complex.

Economist Peter Schiff described the surge as a sign that investors are bracing for what he called “the greatest inflation in US history,” even as recent readings of the Consumer Price Index pointed to moderating inflation trends.

Source: Peter SchiffGold’s advance also highlighted a divergence with Bitcoin, which finished the year lower and showed limited evidence of safe-haven demand. The contrast was particularly pronounced in the fourth quarter, following a broad deleveraging event triggered by the Oct. 10 market crash.

Michael Saylor’s Strategy, the Tysons Corner, Virginia-based firm formerly known as MicroStrategy, kicked off the new year with another large Bitcoin acquisition, buying 1,286 BTC for approximately $116 million, according to a Monday filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). 

The purchase, made between December 29, 2025, and January 4, 2026, boosts the company’s Bitcoin holdings to 673,783 BTC, valued at around $62.7 billion at current prices.

The latest buy was funded entirely through the proceeds of MSTR Class A stock sales under the company’s at-the-market (ATM) program. The company sold nearly 2 million shares, generating $312.2 million in net proceeds. 

The acquisition also coincides with the firm increasing its U.S. dollar reserve to $2.25 billion, up from $1.44 billion in December, intended to support dividend payments on preferred shares and interest obligations on outstanding debt.

The average price for the recent purchase was $90,391 per Bitcoin, with a small portion — 3 BTC — acquired in the final days of 2025 at $88,210 each. 

Overall, Strategy’s Bitcoin portfolio was accumulated at an average cost basis of $75,026 per coin, reflecting total expenditures of $50.55 billion. 

Despite the gains in 2026, the company reported a $17.44 billion unrealized loss on its digital assets in the fourth quarter of 2025, largely due to Bitcoin sliding from its October high of $126,000.

Bitcoin’s price surpassed $90,000 at the start of the year, partly buoyed by geopolitical tensions in the U.S.-Venezuela corridor and ongoing market optimism. As of Monday, BTC traded near $93,000, representing a roughly 6% gain year-to-date.

The move underscores the company’s continued commitment to its Bitcoin-first treasury model. Michael Saylor, co-founder and executive chairman, signaled the purchase on Sunday via X posting the firm’s Bitcoin portfolio with the caption, “Orange or Green?” 

This weekly acquisition pattern has become a hallmark of Strategy’s approach to building its bitcoin holdings over time.

Strategy’s MSCI delisting possibility  However, the firm faces ongoing challenges beyond market volatility. Strategy could soon be removed from the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) global indices, which proposed last October that companies with 50% or more of assets in digital currencies resemble investment funds and may be excluded. 

A potential MSCI delisting could trigger $2.8 billion in stock outflows, according to executives, with further impacts possible across other indexes, including the Nasdaq 100 and Russell benchmarks. Analysts from JPMorgan and TD Cowen estimate that exclusion from these indices could threaten billions in additional market value.

In December, Strategy submitted a formal response to MSCI’s consultation. The company called the threshold “misguided” and warned it could have “profoundly harmful consequences” for investors and the broader digital asset industry. 

Earlier in November, Saylor pushed back on media reports warning that Strategy could face billions in passive outflows if MSCI did follow through with its decision.

In a statement on X, Saylor said that the company is “not a fund, not a trust, and not a holding company.” He described the firm as a publicly traded operating company with a $500 million software business and a unique treasury strategy that uses Bitcoin as productive capital.

Despite these pressures, Strategy’s aggressive accumulation of Bitcoin has influenced other publicly traded firms. 

Tokyo-listed Metaplanet, for instance, has now become the fourth-largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, with 35,102 coins valued at roughly $3.27 billion.

Strategy’s USD reserve and stock sale-driven purchases illustrate a carefully managed, albeit high-risk, strategy of maintaining liquidity while expanding its digital asset holdings. The company has used the reserve to bolster its financial footing amid market swings, aiming to ensure operational continuity and investor confidence.

At the time of writing, bitcoin is dropping to below $92,000.

He warned that actively trading within the range carries a high risk of being "chopped," suggesting a more prudent strategy of accumulation during consolidation and selling into sudden rallies.

Dentoshi noted Pepe has been an early mover and outperformer, reclaiming its daily 100-day moving average and prior support levels ahead of much of the broader market.

Davie Satoshi added that Pepe continues to look strong after a clean bounce from upper resistance.

If momentum holds, he sees a potential breakout toward the $0.000010 area, effectively removing another zero from its price.

Statistics: Coinglass data shows Pepe long liquidations jumped to $3.32 million over the past 24 hours, the highest level since Oct. 10, 2025.

Open interest also climbed to its highest level since that period, reflecting elevated trader participation.

Despite the strong weekly performance, Pepe pulled back about 5.5% over the past 24 hours as traders took profits after the token topped the weekly gainers list.

Solana's (SOL) price has broken above the moving average lines, reaching a high of $137.50.

SOL price long-term prediction: bullish The cryptocurrency price has fallen below the $135 high, but remains above the moving average lines. Previously, Solana traded above the $120 support but below the moving average lines. Solana is currently trading in the bullish trend zone, but still below the $135 high. The upward trend is expected to reach a maximum of $150. The cryptocurrency price was previously rejected at the $146 high.

Solana is currently facing initial resistance at $135. A break above $135 will propel the altcoin to $150. If the bullish scenario does not materialise, the cryptocurrency will trade in a range above the moving average lines. Solana was trading at $138.

Technical indicators Key supply zones: $220, $240, $260

Key demand zones: $140, $120, $100

Solana price indicators analysis The cryptocurrency price is slightly above the downward-sloping moving average lines. Selling pressure will return if the price falls below the moving average lines. The price will rise if the 50-day SMA support holds. The moving average lines on the 4-hour chart are sloping upwards, indicating an uptrend.

What is the next move for SOL? Solana has regained positive momentum, reaching a high of $137. The price has retraced and stabilised above the 21-day moving average support. If the 21-day SMA support holds, the altcoin's price will rise further.

However, if Solana breaks below the moving average, it will revert to the area above the $120 support.

On Monday, January 5, something small on paper becomes huge in practice, the moment a mainstream American wealth adviser can finally say the quiet part out loud.

Bank of America’s wealth platforms, Merrill, Bank of America Private Bank, and Merrill Edge, are set to let advisers recommend crypto exchange-traded products, with an internal view that a “modest” 1% to 4% allocation can make sense for clients who can live with the swings.

That might sound like a footnote in a market that has lived through everything from meme mania to outright collapses, yet this is one of the clearest signs that Bitcoin’s next chapter is being written inside the kind of offices where people still print out risk questionnaires.

### The human moment, a client question, an adviser answer

Picture the average wealth client, not a day trader, not a crypto native, someone who owns a broad mix of stocks and bonds, maybe a few funds they have held for years.

They have heard about Bitcoin for a decade, they have watched friends brag at the top, disappear at the bottom, then quietly come back, and they have mostly done nothing. Even when spot bitcoin ETFs arrived, many clients were still stuck in the same awkward loop, curiosity on one side, permission on the other.

Bank of America’s change breaks that loop. Starting January 5, 2026, advisers move from simply executing a trade to being able to recommend regulated crypto products as part of a portfolio, which matters because advice is where habits form. When something gets framed as “a small sleeve” rather than “a punt,” it stops being a late-night decision and starts becoming a line item.

### What clients are actually being offered

In practice, this first step looks very Bitcoin-heavy.

Industry reporting says the initial shelf includes four bitcoin ETPs, including the Bitwise Bitcoin ETF, Grayscale’s Bitcoin Mini Trust, Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund, and BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust.

There’s also an important operational detail here, advisers reportedly need training to participate, plus an implementation and allocation guidance paper from the chief investment office. That’s boring, and it’s the point.

Bitcoin doesn’t need another hype cycle. It needs distribution that can survive a bad month.

### Why 1% to 4% can still be a big deal

Four percent sounds tiny until you remember how wealth actually moves.

Large advisory platforms rarely flip a switch and send billions into a new asset overnight. What they do is allow a product, build a process, teach the advisers how to talk about it, and let adoption crawl forward, client by client, review meeting by review meeting.

That slow-motion adoption is exactly what makes this different from the typical crypto headline.

Bank of America’s wealth unit is massive, Reuters reported the bank’s core wealth management business, including Merrill and its private bank, manages about $4.6 trillion in client assets.

Here’s a simple way to think about it.

If only 5% of those assets eventually adopt a 2% Bitcoin sleeve, that’s around $4.6T x 5% x 2%, roughly $4.6 billion. If adoption reached 10% at a 4% sleeve, you get $18.4 billion. These are scenario ranges, not forecasts, and the main point is the same, small portfolio weights on huge platforms add up quickly.

Even the low case matters because bitcoin ETF flows tend to arrive in bursts, and the marginal buyer often sets the price in crypto markets.

### The timing, Bitcoin is bruised, still mainstream, and still volatile

This shift lands after a year that reminded everyone what Bitcoin really is.

Reuters reported bitcoin hit an all-time high above $126,000 in October 2025, then got hammered as macro shocks hit risk appetite, with analysts noting bitcoin’s growing tendency to trade like a risk asset.

Bank of America itself pointed to the downside, Reuters noted bitcoin lost more than $18,000 in November 2025, its biggest monthly dollar drop since May 2021.

That’s the backdrop, volatility is not fading away, it is being formalised.

As of today, bitcoin is trading around $92,000, according to CoinMarketCap, which also shows that October high and the distance from it. For long-time holders, this is familiar. For wealth clients who prefer smooth lines, it’s a warning label.

### The macro layer, why this could matter even more in 2026

A lot of the next move for bitcoin is going to be decided outside crypto.

The Federal Reserve is currently targeting a fed funds range of 3.50% to 3.75%. Inflation, meanwhile, was running at 2.7% year over year through November.

Those numbers matter because crypto still lives on liquidity and sentiment. Easier money tends to help speculative assets breathe. Sticky inflation and rate uncertainty tend to do the opposite. Bitcoin has matured enough to show up in mainstream portfolios, it hasn’t matured enough to ignore the macro weather.

This is why Bank of America’s framing is so telling. Advisers are being told to treat digital assets like a satellite sleeve for clients who can handle volatility, Reuters quoted the bank warning that speculative activity can push prices beyond “true utility.”

That’s a traditional finance way of saying the quiet part again, bitcoin can be valuable, the ride can still be brutal.

### What this unlocks for Bitcoin, and what it does not

This does not instantly turn Bank of America into a crypto bank. It doesn’t guarantee a flood of inflows. It doesn’t erase the scars of 2022, or the hangover of late 2025.

What it does is more durable.

It puts bitcoin ETFs in the path of the most ordinary money in America, retirement rollovers, college funds, business owners who sold a company, families who do one portfolio review a year and then go back to living their lives.

That’s the kind of demand bitcoin has always chased, because it’s less emotional, more process-driven, and it tends to stick around longer.

The irony is that the allocation being discussed is small. The cultural shift is the big thing. Bitcoin keeps getting absorbed into the system it was built to route around, and every time that happens, the price story becomes less about a single catalyst and more about a slow grind of legitimacy, distribution, and macro conditions.

January 5 is a calendar date. For bitcoin, it’s another step toward becoming the asset people stop arguing about at dinner, and start treating like an uncomfortable, volatile, increasingly unavoidable part of modern investing.

Gemini, the Winklevii-founded cryptocurrency, has used Grok (xAI's chatbot) to showcase the massive price action on XRP.

The popular US trading platform asked the chatbot to identify why the token was experiencing such an impressive pump. 

A major partnership The "chummy" relationship between Gemini and the XRP community is the result of a formal business partnership that was solidified in late 2025.

In August 2025, Gemini and Ripple officially collaborated to launch the "XRP Edition" of the Gemini Credit Card.

Tyler Winklevoss explicitly marketed this to the community, with Ripple executives joining the campaign. 

On top of that, reports surrounding Gemini's IPO plans revealed that Ripple provided Gemini with a $75 million credit line, which is expandable to $150 million.

Earlier, both companies had been engaged in high-profile, expensive legal wars with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Tyler Winklevoss has publicly defended Ripple. He even argued that the Oregon Attorney General had to be impeached for calling XRP a security after a federal judge ruled otherwise.

Gemini was one of the first major exchanges to integrate RLUSD, Ripple's USD stablecoin, as a base currency for trading.

Morgan Stanley files with SEC for spot Bitcoin and Solana ETFs Morgan Stanley filed S-1 registration statements with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to launch spot Bitcoin and Solana ETFs, signaling a deeper push into regulated crypto products.

The Wall Street giant submitted separate filings for a Bitcoin Trust and a Solana Trust, with its proposed Solana fund including a staking feature. If approved, the filings would place Morgan Stanley alongside major spot crypto ETF issuers such as BlackRock and Fidelity, reflecting growing demand for digital assets within mainstream investment products. The move comes as cumulative U.S. spot crypto ETF trading volume recently surpassed $2 trillion, with spot Bitcoin ETFs alone holding more than $123.5 billion in assets. Morgan Stanley's filings arrive amid a more crypto-friendly regulatory backdrop at the SEC following President Trump's return to office and the agency's rollout of faster crypto ETF generic listing standards. The move also builds on the firm's broader crypto strategy, including a recommended 4% allocation cap for opportunistic portfolios and expanded crypto access across all client accounts, including retirement plans. Spot Bitcoin ETFs report $697 million in net inflows, largest daily total since October U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs pulled in $697 million of net inflows on Monday — the largest daily total since October — as crypto sentiment improved at the start of 2026.

The surge pushed two-day inflows to nearly $1.2 billion, with demand spread broadly across issuers, led by BlackRock's IBIT ($660 million) and Fidelity's FBTC ($279 million). Bloomberg Senior ETF Analyst Eric Balchunas said on X that spot Bitcoin ETFs are "coming into 2026 like a lion," adding that the early inflow pace implies roughly $150 billion annually if momentum holds. Rachael Lucas, crypto analyst at BTC Markets, said the renewed ETF buying reflects "cautious optimism from major asset allocators," with ETF flows currently underpinning crypto prices even as the medium-term outlook remains dependent on macro and regulatory stability. Ethereum staking sees institutional return as validator exit queue collapses Ethereum's validator exit queue has fully unwound, reaching zero early Tuesday, down substantially from its September peak of 2.67 million ETH.

At the same time, the entry queue has swelled to around 1.3 million ETH, reflecting renewed willingness from large holders to lock up ether as staking flows flipped back to net positive. Institutional players are among those driving the shift, including BitMine, which has staked 659,219 ETH since late December, alongside growing participation from staking-enabled Ethereum ETFs. The momentum coincides with steadier network conditions, with Ethereum currently supporting nearly 1 million active validators securing 35.67 million ETH, while ether prices rebound modestly. Community banks sound alarm on yield-bearing stablecoin loophole in GENIUS The American Bankers Association's Community Bankers Council urged U.S. senators to tighten rules around yield-bearing stablecoins, warning that loopholes in the GENIUS Act could siphon deposits away from local banks.

Community bankers said deposit outflows into yield-generating stablecoins would weaken banks' ability to lend to small businesses, farmers, students, and homebuyers who rely on local credit. Banking groups, including ABA President Rob Nichols, have argued that weak prohibitions on stablecoin rewards could divert trillions of dollars from the traditional banking system if left unaddressed. However, crypto advocacy organization the Blockchain Association has argued that stablecoin rewards do not drive disproportionate deposit outflows and warned that banning them could undermine competition and regulatory clarity.

While the crypto market boomed in 2025 amid widespread adoption, Polygon recorded minimal to no gains on its price charts. 

Even though POL underperformed, its network usage and adoption rate reached record-breaking levels. 

As a result, Polygon’s CEO was left dreaming of a resurrective 2026, building on the gains realized so far. 

Is 2026 really the year of Polygon’s resurrection? According to Polygon’s CEO, Sandeep Nailwal, the network is currently on its S-curve, driven by fee generation.

Sandeep posited that the network has recorded a massive surge in fees, mostly spent on token burns. As such, 1 million POL tokens have been burned daily over the past 3-4 days through fees accrued on the network. 

In fact, over the past three months, the network’s daily fees and revenue surged 425% to $115k, most of which was spent on burns. 

Source: Artemis

As Sandeep observed, at this rate, if it continued for the whole year, 3.5% of POL’s total supply would be burned. 

Such a burn rate introduces massive deflationary pressure on POL. Reduced inflation is key for POL’s future growth, as it accelerates upward movement. 

Historically, there has been a direct correlation between higher scarcity and higher prices. For example, over the past six months, POL declined significantly when inflation rose, and has recovered in 2026 as inflation fell. 

Source: Santiment

Additionally, 3.6 bln POL is staked, and stakers and validators earn a combined reward of 1.5% of POL. This also further elevates token scarcity. 

 Therefore, if the model holds for a sustained period, POL could benefit extensively in 2026. 

Polygon hits a record 1.4 billion transactions in 2025 In addition to deflationary moves, Polygon usage and adoption have skyrocketed. According to official observation, Polygon reached a record 1.4 billion transactions in 2025, reflecting massive adoption.

Source: Polygon on X

In fact, daily transactions stabilized above 5 million, with occasional spikes to 7 million, while transaction volume stayed above 20 million. 

Source: Santiment

Significantly, the growth in transactions was also backed by a growing user base.

Active addresses grew significantly, with weekly addresses stabilizing above 15 million while daily addresses hovered around 1 million and 700k.

Usually, when addresses and transactions rise in tandem, it signals increased network usage. Thus, more users are actively engaged with the network, pointing to actual demand for the asset.

Can POL claim a high 2026? After trading in a descending channel through Q4 2024, POL kicked off 2026 on a positive note. In fact, the altcoin jumped 21% from $0.09 to $0.127 over the past week.

At press time, POL traded at $0.126, up 4.67% on the daily charts. This bullish outlook has carried over to the monthly charts after price cleared December losses.

As a result, the altcoin’s Stochastic Momentum Index moved from the negative zone to 84 at press time, indicating strong upward momentum.

Source: Trading View

With Polygon recording a significant adoption rate amid reduced scarcity, the sustainability of deflationary measures could set POL up for a positive run in 2026.

As of now, the altcoin faces significant long-term resistance at $0.17, according to the Future Trend Channel. To reach this level, POL must first target $0.15 in the short term.

However, a break in the current momentum will see the altcoin drop to $0.11, then attempt another leg up.

Final Thoughts Polygon is set for a significant deflationary boost in 2026, with 1 million POL burned daily via generated fees, which could amount to 3.5% of the supply.  Polygon network usage recorded a significant milestone in 2025, hitting 1.4 billion transactions. 

In brief Strategy’s premium should approach a historical average, Bernstein analysts wrote. The company would greatly benefit from a recovery in Bitcoin’s price, they added. Strategy’s exclusion from MSCI’s indices is a potential overhang, they warned. A key piston in Strategy’s growth engine should recover alongside Bitcoin’s price despite sputtering last year, analysts at investment firm Bernstein predicted in a Tuesday note.

Although the Bitcoin-buying firm is currently valued at a slight premium to its digital asset holdings, that premium should enlarge again as investors grow more confident in the Tysons Corner, Virginia-based firm’s ability to hold onto the asset, they wrote.

“As concerns over MSTR’s liquidation event get resolved, we expect a strong recovery in MSTR premium to NAV towards its historical average,” they wrote, noting that the company has historically been valued at a multiple-to-net asset value, or mNAV, of 1.57.

When mNAV is high, Strategy can increase the amount of Bitcoin that it owns per share by selling common shares and purchasing the asset. In the second half of last year, however, mNAV progressively faded, hitting 1.02 on Tuesday, according to Strategy’s website.

Meanwhile, the company has tapped several types of preferred stock as an additional source of funding for purchasing Bitcoin. Those products offer dividend payments, prompting questions on Strategy’s ability to make payments as Bitcoin’s price fell 23% the previous quarter.

Bernstein analysts wrote that Strategy “would be the key beneficiary” of a recovery in Bitcoin’s price. The analysts believe Bitcoin has bottomed and could shoot as high as $150,000 in 2026, after most recently hitting an all-time high above $126,000 in October.

Strategy’s stock price fell more than 6% on Tuesday to about $154, according to Yahoo Finance. Last year, shares dropped more than 50%, despite climbing as high as $457. Following U.S. President Donald Trump’s re-election in 2024, MSTR hit a high of $474.

In Tuesday’s note, Bernstein analysts maintained an “Overweight” rating for Strategy, while reiterating a price target of $450. On Monday, the company disclosed a $17.44 billion unrealized loss in the fourth quarter, pointing to a decline in the value of its Bitcoin holdings.

Recently the company has amassed a $2.25 billion “USD Reserve” to effectively pre-pay dividends, a move that some analysts have described as prudent. Still, others have warned that Strategy’s potential delisting from MSCI indices could prompt billions of dollars in outflows.

Traders on Myriad—a prediction market owned by Decrypt’s parent company, Dastan—foresaw a 17% chance on Tuesday that Strategy will sell Bitcoin this year.

Along those lines, Bernstein analysts described Strategy’s cash reserves as “a fortress.” They added that Strategy could continue to amass Bitcoin using preferred shares, which could become more attractive as dividend-paying products if interest rates fall.

Strategy currently manages $830 million in annual dividend payments, which investors could grow more concerned over if Bitcoin dips below Strategy’s average purchase price of $75,000, the analysts wrote. However, they described those fears as unwarranted, considering the size of Strategy’s stockpile, and obligations on convertible debt that are still several years away.

Still, the analysts described the company’s potential delisting from MSCI indices as a short-term overhang, as well as increased equity dilution.

Morgan Stanley, the sixth-largest U.S. bank by assets under management, filed registration statements with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for a Morgan Stanley Bitcoin Trust and a Morgan Stanley Solana Trust.

"Can honestly say that I am very surprised by these. Didn’t see this coming," Bloomberg Intelligence analyst James Seyffart said Tuesday on X. "I’ve been saying for literal years that most of these firms will change their tune on crypto."

Morgan Stanley manages roughly 20 ETFs across brands, including Calvert and Eaton Vance, but only two currently carry the Morgan Stanley name — underscoring the rarity of this branding decision.

"Institutions are charging at crypto full-speed and see it as a key business priority," Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan wrote in a post on X.

Until recently, Morgan Stanley advisors were barred from buying crypto ETFs for their clients. That changed last October, when the firm said it recommended capping crypto allocations at up to 4% in its most aggressive client portfolios, joining the likes of BlackRock and Fidelity.

"Now launching their own. Makes sense given Morgan's massive distribution," NovaDius Wealth President Nate Geraci wrote on X. "Clearly they were seeing meaningful demand from clients for crypto ETFs."

Eric Balchunas, Bloomberg's senior ETF analyst, called the move "smart," saying Morgan Stanley could use the funds to jumpstart its BYOA, or "bring your own assets," ETF strategy — a practice in which large asset managers direct client capital into their own proprietary products rather than competing funds.

"This could nudge a couple others to launch in house branded btc etfs as well, we'll see," Balchunas wrote on X.

It's been a brief yet strong start to the year as spot bitcoin ETFs have seen over $1.2 billion in flows in the first two trading days, which would put them on pace for a $150 billion year, Balchunas said. Monday's $697 million in net inflows was the largest daily total since October.

Institutional investors are accumulating Ethereum (ETH), XRP and Solana (SOL) investment products as the new year begins.

According to a new update from CoinShares, digital asset investment products recorded $582 million in net inflows over the past week, despite outflows earlier in the period.

“The year also began on a high note with inflows of US $671m last Friday, bringing the full week inflows to US $582m following outflows earlier in the week.”

Last week, institutions poured $512 million into BTC, $119 million into Ethereum and $10.7 million into XRP, while the third-largest crypto asset Solana witnessed $30 million in outflows.

The strong start follows a solid finish to 2025, when global digital asset products saw total inflows of $47.2 billion, just shy of the 2024 record of $48.7 billion.

The US accounted for the bulk of last year’s inflows, totaling $44.5 billion, though that figure marked a 12% decline from 2024. Meanwhile, Germany posted the most notable turnaround, recording $2.5 billion in inflows after posting outflows a year earlier. Canada added $1.1 billion, while Switzerland saw $775 million in inflows.

Bitcoin (BTC) product inflows hit $26.9 billion in 2025. Short-bitcoin products attracted $105 million but remained a small segment of the market.

Ethereum led asset-specific gains, posting $12.7 billion in inflows, up 138% year over year. XRP and Solana followed with inflows of $3.7 billion and $3.6 billion, representing gains of 500% and 1,000%, respectively.

Various other altcoins saw sentiment weaken, with inflows falling 30% year over year.
