Gold and silver surge to all‑time highs as worries about Federal Reserve independence trigger a safe‑haven frenzy.

Gold and silver climbed to unprecedented levels as concerns about U.S. monetary credibility, inflation risk, and geopolitical instability sparked intense safe‑haven buying, placing precious metals at the center of a broad global market pullback. Political pressure on the Federal Reserve intensified the rush toward hard assets, propelling gold and silver into a heightened frenzy and breaking previous records.

A Bitmine-associated address discloses a $480 million ETH staking action, highlighting strong institutional confidence.

The Bitmine‑linked address added 154,208 ETH (≈ $480 million) on 15 Mar 2025, bringing its total stake to 1,344,424 ETH (≈ $4.15 billion). This represents one of the largest single moves since Ethereum’s proof‑of‑stake transition. The size of the stake signals strong institutional confidence in Ethereum’s long‑term viability. Staking reflects a bullish, long‑term outlook and locks assets, reducing immediate selling pressure. It follows a broader trend where “whale” holders run validator nodes, with whale staking addresses up 34 % YoY. Controlling roughly 42,000 validators gives the address significant influence and places heavy technical and slashing risk responsibilities on the operator. The influx of locked ETH stabilises price and raises the network’s security budget, making attacks costlier. Recent regulatory guidance in the US and EU clarifies self‑staking rules, encouraging more institutional participation. Anticipated upgrades such as proto‑danksharding aim to boost scalability, while yields of 3‑5 % APY suggest continued incentive for large‑scale staking.

The SEC’s cryptocurrency regulatory outlook hinges on a pivotal week, as Chair Paul Atkins hints at major developments.

SEC Chair Paul Atkins warned that this week may be decisive for U.S. crypto regulation, suggesting several linked actions. His comments at a financial symposium have sparked heightened market attention. The industry, awaiting clearer rules for years, now watches SEC filings closely. The Commission could issue a token‑classification framework, modify exchange and custody rules, or clarify staking treatment. Each proposal aims to cut legal uncertainty while protecting investors. Analysts expect a balanced approach rather than sweeping restrictions, which should encourage institutional participation. International bodies such as the FSB and the EU’s MiCA regime are converging with U.S. efforts, easing cross‑border compliance. Banks, asset managers and insurers have already built crypto custody and product capabilities. Greater regulatory clarity is poised to boost mainstream adoption and deter fraud.

Pi Coin Forecast: Apps Can Integrate Pi Payments in Just 10 Minutes – Is This the Largest Update Yet?

Pi Network released a developer library that bundles the Pi SDK and backend APIs, allowing in‑app PI payments to be added in under ten minutes. The toolkit cuts configuration work, moving DApps from prototype to launch quickly. This upgrade gives the platform a tangible use case and simplifies onboarding for creators. Easier payments are expected to improve adoption, addressing Pi’s historic lack of real‑world utility and volatile price action. Analysts cite a three‑month symmetrical triangle on the PI/USDT chart, with a key breakout around $0.265 that could thrust the token toward $0.40 or even $0.65 long‑term. Strengthened liquidity, social sentiment, and developer activity reinforce the bullish scenario. Meme‑coin speculation is shifting back to Doge‑linked projects, and Maxi Doge ($MAXI) is the latest candidate. Its presale raised about $4.35 million and offers up to 71 % APY on staking, drawing attention from investors who missed earlier Doge rallies. The token is positioned as a potential breakout meme coin in the current bull market.

Zang highlights a heightened risk following recent U.S. bank failures, suggesting these events may accelerate the shift toward forced asset controls.

World Liberty Financial, backed by Trump, launches crypto lending as the USD1 stablecoin climbs to $3.5 billion.

World Liberty Financial, a Trump‑linked DeFi project, opened its crypto lending platform World Liberty Markets on Jan 12 2026. The web app lets users lend and borrow digital assets on‑chain, using the USD1 stablecoin and the WLFI token. Built on Dolomite, it supports collateral such as ETH, tokenized BTC, USDC and USDT. Suppliers earn yields while borrowers gain fast, flexible liquidity. USD1’s circulating supply topped $3.5 billion, with a market cap of $3.48 billion, split mainly between BNB Smart Chain and Ethereum. On‑chain credit revived, reaching $73.6 billion in Q3 2025, 55 % of which came from DeFi platforms. Growth is driven by fully collateralized loans, transparent liquidations and on‑chain risk controls. The new market expands USD1’s utility beyond a simple stablecoin. The firm filed for a U.S. national banking charter to bring USD1 under OCC oversight. Binance’s “USD1 Boost Program” offered up to 20 % APR, sparking a sharp rise in supply and trading volume. World Liberty introduced early‑user rewards, granting WLFI incentives for USD1 deposits and a points program for suppliers. Treasury deposits are excluded, ensuring rewards go to active liquidity providers.

Three ETH price charts indicate a rapid surge toward $4,000 is underway.

The recent ETH rally was propelled by strong spot demand and the strategic use of futures market leverage, which may prime Ether for a subsequent surge toward the $4,000 level.

Bitcoin Seeks Safe-Haven Status as the DOJ Targets Fed Chair Powell

Jerome Powell said the Justice Department served the Fed with grand‑jury subpoenas and threatened criminal charges as political pay‑back for the Fed’s interest‑rate decisions, not over a $2.5 billion building renovation. He wrote on Jan 11 that the threat is a “pretext” to push the FOMC toward lower rates. Powell asserted the indictment risk stems from his June testimony, linking it to congressional scrutiny rather than monetary‑policy statutes. Bitcoin edged higher, trading around $90,800 on CoinGecko and $91,200 on CoinMarketCap after the news. The episode sparked equity volatility, a weaker dollar and record‑high spot gold, reflecting broader risk aversion. Former Fed and Treasury officials warned the probe could undermine confidence in U.S. institutions. Goldman Sachs chief economist Jan Hatzius said the saga raises Fed independence concerns while keeping a data‑driven rate‑cut path for mid‑2026. Traders view BTC’s modest rise as a “rule‑of‑law” risk signal, anticipating higher term premiums and a softer USD if indictment threats materialize. Consequently, BTC may act less like a Nasdaq beta and more as a hedge against jurisdictional risk for funds with basis‑book exposure.

Wall Street Speeds Up Institutional Crypto Adoption, Marking a Key Move Toward Digital Asset Leadership

Binance Research says institutional crypto adoption has entered phase two, moving from cautious experiments to committed capital deployment. This shift reshapes market dynamics, placing institutions at the center. Wall Street now creates crypto products rather than merely distributing existing ones. Morgan Stanley filed S‑1 applications for Bitcoin and Solana ETFs after the 2024 spot Bitcoin ETF approval, signaling strong confidence. The move shows a transition to proprietary offerings and broader multi‑asset exposure. Analysts expect similar filings from Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan, deepening the institutional foothold. Major index providers such as MSCI are becoming more receptive to crypto‑native firms, potentially triggering mandatory institutional buying. Inclusion would boost liquidity, stabilize volatility, and support multi‑asset ETFs. Binance projects optimal market conditions by 2026 as these forces converge. Global regulations—including the EU’s MiCA framework and clear guidelines in Hong Kong, Singapore, and the United States—are reducing uncertainty for institutions. Advancements in custody and trading infrastructure lower entry barriers further. Combined, these trends could reshape portfolio construction, offering non‑correlated digital‑asset returns through 2025‑26.

Crypto.com $250,000 Airdrop event – claim SOL in the Airdrop Arena

Crypto.com’s Airdrop Arena offers a $250,000 SOL reward pool from 1 Jan to 31 Jan 2026. Users earn points by allocating CRO, with early participants receiving up to a 120% points boost. The first 10,000 allocators get the highest boost, encouraging prompt action. Entry is done inside the Crypto.com app via the Account, Earn tab, or Supermenu—no trading required. After allocating CRO, points accumulate automatically throughout the event. The SOL rewards are divided proportionally to each user’s total points at the campaign’s end. Rewards are paid within seven days after the event; users with an active Loot Locker receive SOL after a lockup period, others get it directly in their Crypto Wallet. Allocated CRO remains locked for six months, after which it can be withdrawn or left to auto‑participate in future events. Using SOL as the payout links Crypto.com’s CRO base to a high‑profile blockchain, enhancing appeal. The low‑activity model rewards long‑term allocation rather than trading volume, fostering retention and passive earnings for CRO holders.

DAPP: A Crypto Equity Basket with High Beta

DAPP is a tactical buy; limit exposure to ≤5% due to high volatility. Timing and profit‑taking are essential. Market signs point to a bottom and upside. The fund tracks the MVIS Global Digital Assets Index and invests in listed blockchain firms. Expense ratio is 0.51% with a 13.24% YTD return and an annual dividend. It rebalances quarterly and must hold at least 20 stocks. Top ten holdings—Block, Coinbase, MicroStrategy, IREN, Hut 8, Metaplanet, Circle, Bitmine, Applied Digital, Riot—rely heavily on Bitcoin or Ethereum prices. This creates a strong link to crypto movements despite a broader equity focus. Crypto‑ETF inflows have been positive since late‑2023, and stablecoin market cap grew ~42% in 2025, showing rising fiat demand. Combined with supportive regulation, these trends favor DAPP if macro conditions remain benign.

Bitcoin and gold respond to the escalating clash between Trump and Powell.

U.S. President Trump escalated international rhetoric over the weekend, targeting nations such as Iran and Cuba. His provocative statements have added to an already volatile geopolitical climate. Domestic attention has shifted to his renewed attack on Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. Since winning the 2024 election, Trump has repeatedly urged lower interest rates and threatened to fire Powell, despite having nominated him. Powell traditionally avoided public comment, offering only silence when questioned about Trump’s critiques. The dispute intensified when Powell announced DOJ subpoenas and a possible criminal indictment related to his Senate testimony. Powell framed the legal pressure as retaliation for the Fed’s independent rate decisions, marking his first public rebuttal. He suggested the actions are coordinated to influence the upcoming FOMC meeting, where a pause in rate cuts is expected. Analysts warn the confrontation could further destabilize policy expectations. The political clash spurred safe‑haven buying, pushing gold and silver to new highs. Bitcoin surged past $92,000 before retracing to just above $91,000. Continued volatility is anticipated as the Trump‑Powell rivalry unfolds.

Report: Coinbase Says It May Withdraw Support for Senate Crypto Legislation

Coinbase warns it may withdraw support for the Senate market‑structure bill if stablecoin rewards are banned. The 3.5% APY on USDC accounts yields about $1.3 billion in yearly revenue for the exchange. A Senate markup is slated for Jan 15, heightening the deadline pressure. Banking groups, headed by the American Bankers Association, urge broader yield limits that restrict rewards to regulated banks. They claim yield‑bearing stablecoins could siphon deposits from community banks and hurt local borrowers. Coinbase is pursuing a national trust charter to keep incentives while meeting tighter rules. Bipartisan backing for the bill is eroding as midterms approach, and some committees may postpone votes. Analysts now estimate under a 70% chance of passage in the first half of the year. Crypto firms say they will craft alternative incentives, turning regulation into a whack‑a‑mole battle.
