CRYPTO NEWS

Bitcoin rebounded to $93,000, its highest in nearly a month, driven by Venezuela-related geopolitical tension, but analysts warn of a potential bull trap. While a golden cross on lower timeframes signals short-term strength, whale selling and muted stablecoin inflows suggest weak underlying demand. Meanwhile, markets await U.S. labor data and the Fed’s January decision, with no immediate rate cuts expected.

The Crypto rally came as risk assets and safe havens like gold and silver climbed together amid geopolitical tensions in Venezuela. Analysts note Bitcoin is currently tracking tech stocks, with Nasdaq futures also up, rather than acting as a traditional safe-haven asset. Altcoins joined the rise, Ethereum up to $3,180 and XRP to $2.15. Despite the rebound, Bitcoin remains 27% below its $126K October peak, but sustained trading above $90K signals renewed bullish momentum.

Japan’s Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama has endorsed integrating digital assets into stock and commodity exchanges, marking 2026 as the nation’s “digital year.” The move supports Japan’s broader crypto reforms, including reclassifying 105 cryptocurrencies as financial products and cutting the crypto tax rate from 55% to 20%. The government aims to position Japan as a leading crypto and fintech hub.

Global digital asset inflows hit $47.2B in 2025, just below the 2024 record, as investors shifted toward Ethereum, XRP, and Solana, which saw inflows jump up to 1000%. Bitcoin inflows fell 35% to $26.9B, signaling a rotation toward altcoins. The U.S. led overall flows, while Germany and Canada rebounded strongly from 2024 outflows.

PwC is ramping up its crypto auditing and consulting services amid a pro-crypto U.S. regulatory shift following the GENIUS Stablecoin Act. CEO Paul Griggs said the firm will be “hyper-engaged” in digital assets, focusing on stablecoins and tokenization. PwC’s move, alongside similar steps by KPMG and Deloitte, signals growing mainstream acceptance of crypto.
