SkyBridge Capital has shifted its Opportunity Fund toward a roughly 69% macro allocation as of September 30, 2025, after being about 65% invested in crypto and digital assets on March 31, 2025. Founder Anthony Scaramucci said market volatility tied to policy uncertainty under President Donald Trump has supported the firm’s macro performance, while he remains convinced that Bitcoin’s long-term thesis is intact despite a steep pullback from its October all-time high above $126,000.

Fundstrat head of research Tom Lee, who also chairs Ethereum treasury firm BitMine, forecasts a "painful" pullback in crypto and equities in 2026 before a strong recovery toward year-end. He still expects Bitcoin to reach a fresh all-time high this year, viewing it as confirmation that the October 10 deleveraging shock is behind the market. Lee and other analysts also see energy, basic materials and metals as potential outperformers in 2026, though some warn of a later sharp correction that could hit crypto even harder.

Bitcoin is holding a critical support area near $90,000 as risk appetite weakens, according to a market review. Shiba Inu dropped below its 50 EMA, turning a former base into resistance. XRP is attempting to stabilize within the $1.90–$2.00 zone, where a decisive break could open the door to deeper retracement.

CryptoQuant contributor Darkfost reports a clear drop in BTC whale inflows to Binance: after end‑November's panic phase saw nearly $8 billion in monthly transfers, current inflows have been cut to around $2.74 billion, signaling softer sell-side pressure. CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju says institutional demand remains strong, citing 577K BTC ($53B) added over the past year.

NYSE said it is developing an on-chain platform to trade and settle tokenized U.S. equities and ETFs, and will seek regulatory approvals for a proposed venue built on that infrastructure. According to ICE, the system targets 24/7 operations, instant settlement, dollar-sized orders, and stablecoin-based funding, with post-trade systems capable of supporting multiple chains for settlement and custody.

Bitcoin has pulled back toward the $91,000 area after failing to hold above $95,000, but spot and institutional data indicate that underlying demand remains firm. Spot Taker CVD has turned positive, exchanges have seen about $171.83 million in BTC withdrawals, and U.S. institutions have accumulated roughly $53 billion over the past year, while macro liquidity and tariff risks continue to shape the broader environment.

Since January 6, ETH net taker volume has posted a $390 million positive imbalance, the largest buy-side skew since January 2023. CVD stands at -3,676 ETH and price is holding above $3,000, while Hyblock reports roughly $540 million in net longs near $3,100. These signals indicate renewed futures participation, with trend resilience hinging on daily closes above $3,000.

On January 20, 2026, the Cardano Foundation confirmed it had delegated 220 million ADA, valued at about $77 million, to 11 community-selected Delegated Representatives to strengthen governance resilience and diversity. The move follows a November 2025 proposal from key Cardano organizations to draw 70 million ADA from the community treasury to fund core infrastructure such as stablecoins, custody solutions, analytics, cross-chain bridges and pricing oracles.
