Bitcoin News

More than half of the top U.S. banks have either started offering or announced plans to offer Bitcoin-related services such as trading or custody, says Bitcoin financial services firm River.
$RIVER  shared a list in an X post on Monday of the top 25 institutions operating in the U.S., writing, “60% of the top U.S. banks are into Bitcoin.”
Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong said most banking executives he met at the Davos World Economic Forum in Switzerland were embracing crypto as a business opportunity. One CEO from a top-10 global bank told Armstrong that crypto ranks as their number one priority and poses an existential question for traditional finance. The Davos forum ran from Jan. 19 to Jan. 23.
Three of the Big Four U.S. banks appear on River's list. JPMorgan Chase is weighing crypto trading additions, Wells Fargo provides Bitcoin-backed loans to institutional clients, and Citigroup is exploring custody services. These three institutions control over $7.3 trillion in combined assets, Forbes data shows.
Swiss banking giant UBS, which operates in the U.S., is exploring Bitcoin and Ethereum trading for wealthy private banking clients, Bloomberg reported Friday. The move marks the most recent addition to River's tracking.
Bank of America, the second-largest U.S. bank with $2.67 trillion in assets, has not disclosed any Bitcoin service plans. Capital One holds $694 billion in assets, and Truist Bank has $536 billion, but neither has announced crypto offerings.
U.S. banks previously faced accusations of participating in Operation Chokepoint 2.0, an alleged government effort to cut off crypto companies from banking services. The industry shift toward Bitcoin services represents a reversal from that stance.

#BINANCE#TSLAUSDT$TSLA
Binance, one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges, is expanding its futures trading offerings with the launch of a new equity perpetual contract for Tesla stock.
$TSLA Starting January 28, 2026, at 14:30 UTC, traders will be able to access TSLAUSDT perpetual contracts on Binance Futures with up to five times leverage.

This addition reflects the growing trend of bridging traditional financial assets with crypto derivatives, giving users more trading options and flexibility.
Exploring Equity Perpetual Contracts
Equity perpetual contracts are a type of derivative that allows traders to speculate on the price of a stock without actually owning it. In this case, TSLAUSDT tracks the price of Tesla Inc. common stock on Nasdaq. Binance users can trade these contracts 24/7, using USD T as the settlement asset. The minimum trade amount is 0.01 TSLA, and the minimum notional value is 5 USD T. Binance will also implement a capped funding rate of plus or minus 2 percent, settled every four hours.
A key feature of Binance’s offering is Multi-Assets Mode. This allows users to trade TSLAUSDT using multiple margin assets, such as Bitcoin, instead of just USD T. By leveraging multiple assets, traders can optimize capital efficiency while managing risk. Real-world adoption of equity futures has been rising. For example, in 2024, CME Group’s Bitcoin and equity futures saw record trading volumes, reflecting growing institutional and retail interest in derivative markets tied to traditional assets.
Benefits and Considerations
The TSLAUSDT perpetual contract gives users a way to access Tesla price movements without owning the underlying shares. With a maximum leverage of 5x, traders can amplify potential gains, though higher leverage also increases risk. Binance notes that contract specifications, such as funding fees, tick size, and margin requirements, may change based on market conditions. This ensures contracts remain fair and aligned with liquidity and volatility dynamics.

Forget 'Digital Gold': Traders are fleeing to stablecoins as bitcoin's $75,000 crash creates a market-wide bloodbath

Despite thousands of alternative tokens and institutional adoption, crypto markets in 2026 still largely move in lockstep with bitcoin, offering little real diversification.

What to know:
Despite thousands of alternative tokens and institutional adoption, crypto markets in 2026 still largely move in lockstep with bitcoin, offering little real diversification.Revenue-generating DeFi and protocol tokens, which resemble traditional defensive sectors, have mostly fallen alongside bitcoin, with Hyperliquid's HYPE a rare outperformer amid broad declines.The dominance of bitcoin, the rise of stablecoins as a defensive allocation, and growing institutional focus via spot ETFs suggest crypto will remain concentrated around BTC, limiting prospects for meaningful decoupling.
$BTC A decade ago, the crypto market was straightforward: When bitcoin BTC$79,186.82 surged, some 500 or more alternative cryptocurrencies followed suit; when it plunged, the entire market crashed. Portfolios spread across "diverse tokens" with unique use cases looked diversified on paper, but cratered during the bitcoin slides.
Fast forward to 2026, and very little has changed, even though the number of altcoins has increased to several thousand.
Despite institutions supposedly painting crypto as a multifaceted asset class akin to stocks, with each project boasting distinct investment appeal, the reality is grim. The market's still a one-trick pony, following BTC up and down, offering no real diversification.
The year-to-date price action underlines that fact. Bitcoin's price has tanked 14% to $75,000, the lowest since April last year, with almost all major and minor tokens bleeding by a similar amount, if not more.

Justin Sun plans to add between $50 million and $100 million worth of bitcoin (BTC) to the blockchain's holdings, the Tron founder told.

What to know:
Sun’s planned purchase comes after bitcoin fell to $74,674, extending its decline to 21% since Jan. 15.The move contrasts with digital asset treasury companies that bought near record highs last year and are now down more than 30% on holdings, according to bitcointreasuries.Binance also revealed a $1 billion bitcoin allocation for its user protection fund, while TRX continues to trade near $0.284, holding above December lows and remaining in a long-term uptrend.
Justin Sun plans to add between $50 million and $100 million worth of bitcoin BTC$78,857.79 to the blockchain's holdings, the Tron founder told.
Bitcoin fell as low as $74,674 during the Asian morning on Monday, its lowest point since last April with BTC now having lost 21% of its value since Jan. 15.
It would mark as astute purchase in comparison to the hoards of digital asset treasury (DAT) companies that raised money to purchase crypto at record highs last year, many of which are now facing losses of more than 30% on their holdings, according to bitcoin treasuries.
Binance also announced that it would purchase $1 billion worth of bitcoin at the tail end of last week with the funds being allocated to the exchange's user protection fund.
TRX$0.2844 is currently trading at $0.284 having outperformed bitcoin in recent months, it remains above its December low of $0.27 and in a macro sense remains in an uptrend since late 2022.

$ETH Publicly traded Ethereum treasury BitMine Immersion Technologies is still buying as ETH plunges, despite the firm's growing losses.

In brief
$ETH BitMine added another $96 million worth of Ethereum last week, bringing its total holdings to more than 4.28 million ETH.Its most recent acquisition comes as ETH continues its slide, extending the firm's unrealized losses to more than $6 billion based on a recent SEC filing.Shares have now fallen more than 5% on Monday, hitting their lowest mark since July 2025.
Publicly traded Ethereum treasury firm BitMine Immersion Technologies (BMNR) acquired another 41,788 ETH, valued around $96 million, over the last week as its unrealized losses continue to mount as the price of the crypto asset craters.
The firm now holds 4,285,125 ETH—more than 3.5% of the circulating supply of Ethereum—which is valued at $9.9 billion. However, it has racked up more than $6 billion in unrealized losses based on data from its most recent 10-Q filing with the SEC as ETH tumbles to a recent price of $2,381. 
Based on data from November 30, the firm had acquired its first 3.7 million ETH for approximately $14.95 billion and an average cost of around $4,001 per ETH. That same amount of ETH is now worth just $8.8 billion. 
Additionally, the firm has garnered approximately $400 million in unrealized losses from its purchases since that time, based on estimations made by Decrypt using the price of ETH at the time that each of its additional purchases was announced.
Despite the growing deficit, the firm’s chairman remains convicted and optimistic in its commitment to Ethereum. 
“Ethereum on-chain activity and fundamentals have grown solidly in the past few months, but ETH prices have declined,” said BitMine chairman Tom Lee in a statement. “During the crypto winter of 2021-2022 or 2018-2019, Ethereum transaction activity and active wallets declined, which is counter to what we have seen in the past 12 months.”

#BITGO $BITGO#Write2Earn
Mike Belshe is not trying to build the loudest company in crypto. He is trying to build the most trusted one. As CEO and co-founder of BitGo, Belshe has spent the last decade positioning the firm as the institutional backbone of digital assets — the custody provider, settlement engine, and compliance infrastructure that large financial players can actually underwrite.
Now, with BitGo becoming the first crypto IPO of 2026, he believes the market is finally catching up to that vision. “We went public because the industry is maturing,” Belshe told CryptoNews in an interview. “Institutions want infrastructure they can diligence, underwrite, and trust over long time horizons.”
In an industry still defined by cycles of hype, collapse, and reinvention, BitGo’s public debut marks something different: a bet that crypto’s future belongs less to speculative trading and more to regulated financial plumbing.

$BTC Michael Saylor’s Strategy has expanded its already massive bitcoin treasury, acquiring an additional 855 BTC for approximately $75.3 million, at an average purchase price of roughly $87,974 per bitcoin.

The purchase, disclosed in a company update dated February 2, 2026, underscores Strategy’s continued commitment to bitcoin accumulation even amid heightened volatility across crypto markets.
The latest acquisition brings Strategy’s total bitcoin holdings to 713,502 BTC as of February 1, 2026, positioning the firm as the largest corporate holder of bitcoin globally.

#XRP $XRP #Write2Earn
$XRP trades near $1.60 as selling pressure builds. XRP price prediction examines ETF inflows, market correlation with Bitcoin, and key $1.55 support levels.
On February 2, 2026, XRP is trading between $1.59 and $1.61, continuing its recent decline as the overall crypto market faces pressure. In the past 24 hours, XRP fell about 3 to 4 percent, and over the last week, losses reached 12 to 16 percent.
This drop has brought XRP to its lowest point in almost nine months, about 19 percent below its January highs. Trading remains busy, with about $4 billion traded in one day. This shows that many traders are still active, even as prices fall.
For beginners, moves like this often show fear and uncertainty in the market, not a problem with the project itself.
Why XRP Is Falling: Bitcoin and the Bigger Picture
A main reason XRP is having trouble is its strong link to Bitcoin. Currently, XRP moves in the same direction as Bitcoin about 87 percent of the time. So when Bitcoin falls, most other coins, including XRP, usually follow.
Investors are also responding to global economic worries. Recent changes in US Federal Reserve leadership have made people think interest rates could stay high for longer. When this happens, traders often lower their risk and move money out of volatile assets like crypto.
$XRP Simply put, XRP is not falling by itself. It is part of a larger market pullback.

$ETH Ethereum led the sell-off in the market with over $1.07 billion in positions wiped out.
Ethereum has crashed below $2,400, but a whale's contrarian approach is drawing attention in the market. Ethereum fell to a low of $2,245 on Saturday as selling intensified in the crypto market. As Ethereum fell in the market, Lookonchain revealed a whale opened a 20× long on 6,000 ETH worth $14.37 million.
ETH has broken below $2,400!

Someone just deposited 2.56M $USDC into #Hyperliquid and opened a 20× long on 6,000 $ETH ($14.37M).

The whale's approach refers to a contrarian strategy, obviously made in good faith that prices might soon rebound and comes as traders and investors capitulate across the market.
Ethereum price crashes Over $2.45 billion in crypto positions were liquidated in 24 hours, with the largest single liquidation being a $222.65 million ETH USD order on the Hyperliquid exchange. Ethereum led the sell-off in the market, with over $1.07 billion in positions wiped out in the last 24 hours as it fell more than 10%, followed by about $774 million in Bitcoin.
Reversal coming?
Liquidation data from CoinGlass shows the sell-off was one-sided, with long positions accounting for the majority of that seen in the last 24 hours. Long positions accounted for the majority of liquidations, coming in at $2.27 billion, with shorts accounting for only $180 million, suggesting bullish traders were caught unawares. The massive long liquidations coinciding with thin liquidity might suggest a reset following a leverage flush. RSI indicators are now at oversold levels, below 30, hinting at the possibility of a relief rally in the coming sessions.

$ETH The Ethereum founder claims his strategy of betting against extreme market sentiment "usually makes money" on Polymarket.
In brief
Vitalik Buterin explained that he likes to bet against prevailing extreme market sentiment on Polymarket.The Ethereum co-founder claimed he made $70,000 doing this during 2025, on a stake of $440,000.He also highlighted other issues impacting betting markets, such as the accuracy of the "oracles" they rely on.
$ETH Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has disclosed the strategy he uses on the prediction marketplace Polymarket in a recent interview.
Buterin told Foresight News that he looks for markets in what he calls “crazy mode” and bets that “crazy things won’t happen.”
“For example, there’s a market betting on whether Trump will win the Nobel Peace Prize," he said. "Or some markets predict the dollar will go to zero next year during periods of extreme panic.”
Buterin claims he has made $70,000 on Polymarket in 2025 on a stake of $440,000, representing a gain of roughly 16%.
The Ethereum founder added that his strategy of betting against extreme market sentiment “usually makes money.” He encouraged bettors to seek out markets “where people are caught up in crazy and irrational predictions” if they want to profit.
Loxley Fernandes, CEO at prediction market Myriad (owned by Decrypt’s parent company Dastan), argues that Buterin’s profiting predicting that “obviously crazy things wouldn’t happen” is “the most honest endorsement of prediction markets you can get.”
“When irrational sentiment and emotional extremes leak into markets, rational actors don’t just make money, they pull prices back toward reality,” he said, adding that, “That's the social function that prediction markets are designed to serve, to provide signal in the midst of noise."

Bitcoin on Sunday fell nearly five per cent as the BTC price remains below $80,000-mark. Bitcoin price fell 4.92 per cent to $78,797.90. Ethereum price fell by 8.33 per cent to $2,416.74. Cryptocurrencies have been struggling for direction since tumbling last year, having been left ‍behind by big rallies in gold and stocks.
On Friday, the ‍world's largest cryptocurrency by market ​value, Bitcoin, fell to as low as $81,104, the lowest since November 21, while the U.S. ‌dollar gained after ‌former Federal Reserve Governor Kevin Warsh was selected as the next Fed chair. Some investors ‌and traders are concerned he might tighten up on cash in the financial system.
Warsh has called for regime change at the central bank and wants, among other things, a smaller Fed balance sheet.
Bitcoin ⁠and other cryptocurrencies ​have been regarded as beneficiaries of a large ​balance sheet, ‍having tended to rally while the Fed greased money ‌markets with ‍liquidity - a support for ‌speculative ‌assets.
Brian Jacobsen, chief economist at Annex ‍Wealth Management in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, said the Fed's "bloated ‌balance sheet combined with heavy-handed bank regulation" had kept liquidity trapped on Wall Street instead of flowing to Main Street, helping fuel bubbles in assets such as bonds, crypto, metals and meme stocks.
Cryptos are having a rough time in what was once hoped to be a golden era of flows and friendly regulation under President Donald Trump. Market-leading bitcoin has lost a third of its value since striking record highs in October last year.

FTX Creditor Rep: Next Distribution Eyed for March 31; Disputed Reserve Down $2.2B FTX creditor representative Sunil said in a Feb. 1 post on X that the exchange’s next round of fund distributions is expected on March 31. Total reconciled claims currently stand at approximately $9.6 billion, broken down as: - ~$7.8 billion for claims under $50,000; - ~$78 billion for claims over $50,000; - ~$1 billion for non-client claims. Sunil also noted the disputed reserve fund has shrunk by roughly $2.2 billion. If an additional ~$2 billion is distributed later, claims over $50,000 could receive an extra ~$1.7 billion in compensation. Overall, FTX’s creditor recovery process continues to advance, with future distribution pace tied to resolving disputed claims and asset realization progress.

Top CEX forced to step in, followed by ongoing sell pressure leading to market weakness
#CEX $CEX#Write2Earn
Real Vision co-founder and CEO Raoul Pal said in a podcast this week that Bitcoin’s fair value, per his global liquidity model, should be around $140,000. However, the “1011 event” (triggered by Trump’s tariff policy) caused crypto to underperform stocks and gold, he noted. Pal outlined the “1011 event” as follows: A major macro shock spurred mass liquidation of highly leveraged positions. At the peak of cascading selloffs, Binance’s API briefly went offline, blocking professional market makers from placing orders, providing liquidity, or hedging risks. A chain reaction amplified losses, forcing top centralized exchanges (CEXs) to use their balance sheets to absorb positions and prevent a full system collapse. As a result, Pal estimates CEXs passively absorbed roughly $10 billion in assets. The market’s subsequent long-term weakness stems from these CEXs algorithmically selling their inventory during U.S. stock market open hours to offload holdings, he explained. Pal expects the current wave of selling pressure to be mostly “digested” by the end of February. Once that pressure clears, he predicts Bitcoin will rebound quickly to hit $140,000. Additionally, he noted MicroStrategy’s debt risk is manageable—likely a correction for “Strategy”—as CEO Michael Saylor has strengthened the balance sheet via debt issuances and equity moves.

$Wyoming #stable coin#Write2Earn
Today, stablecoins already move real money and power a large share of on-chain settlement. McKinsey puts daily stablecoin transaction volumes at roughly $30 billion, and if that figure is even close to reality, calling stablecoins “experimental” is absurd. Still, mass adoption isn’t here.
Summary
Stablecoins aren’t blocked by regulation — they’re blocked by liability: businesses won’t adopt payments where responsibility for errors, disputes, and compliance is unclear.Interoperability, not speed, is the real scaling bottleneck: without standardized data, ERP integration, and consistent exception handling, stablecoins can’t function as real business payments.Wyoming’s governed stablecoin shows the path forward: defined rules, auditability, and institutional accountability de-risk stablecoins and make them usable inside real finance workflows.
When nobody owns the liability
To be honest, the fact that stablecoins are drifting has less to do with businesses not “getting” the technology. They understand the mechanism. The real block is a blurry responsibility model.
In traditional payments, the rules are dull, but dependable: who can reverse what, who investigates disputes, who is liable for mistakes, and what evidence satisfies auditors. With stablecoins, that clarity often disappears once the transaction leaves your system. And that’s where most pilots fail.
A finance team can’t run on guesswork about whether money arrives, whether it gets stuck, or whether it comes back as a compliance problem three weeks later. If funds go to the wrong address or a wallet is compromised, someone has to own the result.
In bank transfers, that ownership is defined. With stablecoins, too much is still negotiated case by case between the sender, the payment provider, the wallet service, and sometimes an exchange on one side. Everyone has a role, yet no one is truly accountable — and that’s how risk spreads.
Regulation is supposed to solve this, but it’s not fully there yet. The market is getting more guidance, especially in the U.S., where the OCC’s letter #1188 has clarified that banks can engage in certain crypto-related activities like custody and “riskless principal” transactions.
Wyoming’s blueprint for governed stablecoins
In my opinion, liability and plumbing become solvable the moment a payment system has two things: a set of rules, and a standard way to plug into existing finance workflows. That’s where Wyoming precedent matters. A state-issued stable token gives the market a governed framework that a business can evaluate, reference in contracts, and defend in front of auditors.
Here’s what that framework opens up for businesses in more detail:
Easier approval from finance and compliance. Adoption stops depending on a few “crypto-friendly” teams and starts working through normal risk committees, procurement rules, and audit checklists.Cleaner integration. When “the rules of the money” are defined at the institutional level, you can build repeatable workflows that work across systems and markets, instead of reinventing the setup for every vendor and jurisdiction.More realistic bank and PSP partnerships. The model aligns more closely with fiduciary expectations, such as tighter oversight, more transparent reserve rules, and accountability that can be written into contracts.

#SOL$SOL #Write2Earn
$SOL falls to lows not seen since April 2025, but Solana’s price-to-fundamentals gap and its wider correlation to macro markets may provide hope for investors.
Key takeaways:
SOL fell to 2026 lows as tech sector layoffs and artificial intelligence revenue concerns hit markets.Despite the bleak environment, Solana outpaced competitors with network fees jumping 81%, securing its vice-leadership.
$SOL Solana’s native token, SOL (SOL), traded down to $100.30 on Saturday, reaching its lowest levels since April 2025. While the 18% price correction over 30 days took traders by surprise, the movement largely mirrored broader altcoin market capitalization trends. A 26% crash in silver prices on Friday further prompted cryptocurrency traders to brace for additional downside.
SOL was able to reclaim the $102 level on Saturday, but sentiment remained weak after $165 million in leveraged bullish positions were forcefully liquidated. Sentiment worsened following escalating tensions in Iran and fears of an economic downturn after Amazon (AMZN US) announced 16,000 white-collar job cuts on Wednesday.
Investors grew more risk-averse upon learning that OpenAI accounted for 45% of Microsoft’s (MSFT US) Azure cloud computing backlog. Additional tension stemmed from a Wall Street Journal report stating Nvidia (NVDA US) would no longer invest $100 billion in OpenAI. The ChatGPT maker is reportedly expected to face $14 billion in net losses in 2026, according to The Information.
Despite the bleak socio-political environment, Solana onchain activity has outpaced its competitors, consolidating its position as the runner-up in network fees and Total Value Locked (TVL). Healthy onchain metrics provide a dual benefit to the native token: they increase staking returns to incentivize long-term holding while creating constant demand for data processing fees.
Solana network fees jumped 81% above the trend over the past 30 days, according to Nansen data. Additionally, active addresses grew by 62%, and transactions soared to 2.29 billion. In comparison, the Ethereum ecosystem—including layer-2 solutions—totaled 623 million transactions, while Ethereum base layer fees grew by only 11%. Solana remained the clear leader in decentralized application (DApp) activity.
SOL’s path to reclaiming bullish momentum depends largely on renewed confidence in global economic growth and reduced socio-political risks, which may not materialize in the short term.
