CRYPTO NEWS

  1. Bitcoin is struggling near $90,000 as traders stay divided between a rebound toward $100K and a potential drop to $72K. Record highs in gold ($4,420) and silver ($70) reflect a flight to safety amid Japan’s rising bond yields and global uncertainty. On-chain data signals a bearish phase with persistent U.S. selling pressure, but some analysts see extreme fear as a setup for a possible contrarian bounce.

  2. Global crypto ETPs recorded $952 million in outflows last week, reversing three weeks of inflows as delays in the U.S. Clarity Act reignited regulatory uncertainty. The U.S. accounted for $990 million of the outflows, partially offset by inflows from Canada and Germany. Ethereum led the losses with $555 million in outflows, while Bitcoin products saw $460 million. In contrast, Solana (+$48.5M) and XRP (+$62.9M) attracted inflows. CoinShares said total crypto ETP assets under management now stand at $46.7B, below 2024’s $48.7B.

  3. MSCI is weighing whether to exclude bitcoin-holding firms like Michael Saylor’s Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) from its global stock indexes, a move that could trigger up to $9 billion in outflows and weaken the broader digital asset treasury (DAT) sector. The proposal, set for a Jan. 15 decision, targets companies whose crypto holdings exceed 50% of total assets, arguing they resemble investment funds. Analysts warn that other major index providers may follow MSCI’s lead, potentially shutting DAT firms out of the $15 trillion passive-investment universe.

  4. Galaxy forecasts Bitcoin to reach $250,000 by the end of 2027, but calls 2026 “too chaotic to predict.” The firm says options markets reflect extreme uncertainty, pricing equal odds of $50K or $250K by end-2026. In the near term, Bitcoin must reclaim $100K–$105K to confirm bullish momentum. Galaxy highlights Bitcoin’s maturing market structure, with rising demand for downside protection and growing institutional adoption. It expects over $50B in U.S. spot crypto ETF inflows in 2026 as wirehouses and major platforms like Vanguard open access, cementing Bitcoin’s role as a mainstream macro asset.

  5. Michael Saylor, Strategy’s founder, predicts Bitcoin could reach $150K by end-2025 and $1 million by 2029, implying a 1,049% gain. His outlook is based on accelerating institutional adoption, easier hedging through Wall Street products, and Bitcoin’s role as “digital gold”. Saylor highlights new financial products and supportive policies under the Trump administration as key drivers for growing demand.
