Prediction markets betting Bitcoin will head below $60k before month-end
Prediction markets now price a 28% chance Bitcoin falls to $60,000 before the month ends, with recovery above $80,000 given just a 5% probability.
The numbers are stark. Polymarket betting activity suggests the recovery case has essentially collapsed.
What makes the picture particularly telling are the red arrows on the page: the $80,000 probability has fallen 44% and $75,000 by 38%, suggesting bettors have been aggressively revising down their expectations as Bitcoin has slid.
Investors have rotated into traditional havens, lifting the US dollar and oil prices. That shift has tightened financial conditions and pressured speculative assets, leaving bitcoin vulnerable to further downside.
Reports that Washington has amassed significant air power in the Middle East, with military assets expected to be in place by mid-March, have heightened fears of possible strikes on Iran.
Bitcoin is now on track for a fifth straight weekly loss, its longest run of declines in years, taking it below $67,000.
The token remains nearly 50% below its October 2025 peak above $126,000, with momentum subdued as traders await clearer signals on geopolitics and the broader macro backdrop.

Bitcoin Miner Bitdeer Overtakes MARA, Establishing Hash Rate Lead: JPMorgan
Bitcoin miner Bitdeer has overtaken MARA in terms of self-mining hash rate among publicly traded companies, establishing itself as an industry leader within the past month, according to JPMorgan analysts.
At 63.2 exahashes per second (EH/s), Bitdeer is now allocating more computational resources to Bitcoin’s network for itself than MARA, analysts led by Reginald Smith wrote. MARA last reported a self-mining hash rate of 60.4 EH/s.
The shakeup follows what analysts described as an “impressive” month for Bitdeer, in which the Singapore-based firm added 8 EH/s. In a production update earlier this month, Bitdeer said the growth was spurred by the deployment of proprietary SEALMINER mining rigs.
For years, MARA’s relentless fleet expansion set the sector’s pace, but the company has rebranded as a digital infrastructure firm within the past year while prioritizing AI. That has involved a shift toward running AI workloads for MARA’s customers.
While MARA has traditionally relied on off-the-shelf hardware from giants like Bitmain, Bitdeer has taken a different approach with development of its hyper-efficient silicon. After recent deployments, Bitdeer mined 668 Bitcoin in January, a 430% increase year-over-year.
Earlier this month, Bitdeer signaled that it’s evaluating leasing opportunities for data centers that could bring AI cloud services online for U.S. customers this year. Still, the firm’s Chief Business Officer Matt Kong said that the company will continue to deploy SEALMINER mining rigs this year, as well.
Strategy’s Bitcoin Buying Accelerates as $48 Billion BTC Stash Sits Underwater
Although Bitdeer is leaning into self-mining, the company also hosts Bitcoin miners for customers, while offering subscription plans for mining income. The company recently reported having 78.1 EH/s in “total hash rate under management,” with 13.0 EH/s for hosted operations.

3 Altcoins That Are Not Acting Like a Crypto Bear Market
The crypto bear market seems to be taking form. Bitcoin and Ethereum remain under pressure, with Bitcoin down nearly 24% year-to-date and about 22% year-on-year, while Ethereum has fallen roughly 34% YTD and over 30% across the same period. The broader market continues to reflect weak sentiment.
Yet, BeInCrypto analysts have identified three altcoins that are still posting strong gains in the year-to-date and year-over-year periods, signaling demand and technical structures that appear disconnected from the ongoing bear market.
Bitcoin Cash (BCH)
The crypto bear market has not stopped Bitcoin Cash (BCH) from showing unusual strength. While many altcoins struggle, BCH remains one of the strongest altcoins, holding large yearly gains. Bitcoin Cash is still up nearly 80% year-on-year, showing that demand has stayed intact even as the broader crypto bear market continues.
This strength is now clearly visible in whale behavior. The largest Bitcoin Cash holders, wallets holding between 100,000 and 1 million BCH, increased their holdings from 4.31 million BCH on February 16 to 4.36 million BCH recently.
This means whales added 50,000 BCH, worth about $28.5 million at the current price. Whale accumulation during a crypto bear market often signals confidence, as these investors typically buy when they expect higher prices ahead.
This optimism connects directly with Bitcoin Cash’s price chart. BCH is currently forming an inverse head-and-shoulders pattern, a bullish pattern that often precedes a breakout.
This pattern shows that selling pressure is fading and buyers are slowly gaining control. BCH attempted a breakout near $575 but faced some selling pressure. However, continued whale buying suggests this resistance may weaken over time.
A confirmed breakout requires a daily close above $575. If that happens, BCH could rally toward $793 and potentially $800, completing the pattern’s nearly 40% upside target. These levels also align with Fibonacci resistance zones, strengthening the bullish case.

Viral AI agent bans ‘Bitcoin,' ‘crypto’ mentions
Artificial intelligence has officially entered its uncanny era, when it is equal parts revolutionary and unsettling.
One of the latest examples is OpenClaw, a viral open-source AI agent framework that has captured the imagination of developers worldwide.
It is designed as part of the broader movement toward autonomous, agent-based systems. But what fascinates me the most about OpenClaw is that it can browse the web, write code, and execute multi-step workflows with almost no human input.
But a naming dispute and a crypto frenzy nearly derailed the project entirely.
And now, its developer has drawn a hard line on crypto altogether.

What is OpenClaw?
OpenClaw is an open-source AI framework built to power autonomous agents capable of complex digital tasks. Built on large language models (LLMs), it emphasizes transparency, customization, and community-driven development.
Unlike closed commercial systems, OpenClaw allows developers to inspect and modify the underlying framework freely.
But the project’s rise hasn’t been smooth.
OpenClaw has undergone two rebrands in rapid succession. It was first launched as "Clawdbot," a name that clearly nodded to Anthropic’s Claude models and their crab mascot, "Claw’d."
As Clawdbot began gaining popularity, it reportedly received a trademark warning from AI giant Anthropic, which argued the name was too similar to “Claude.”
Developer Peter Steinberger agreed to rebrand. The project briefly adopted a lobster-themed name, "Moltbot," before settling on "OpenClaw."
Name drama causes token frenzy
In the brief window between releasing old GitHub and X handles and securing new ones, scammers hijacked the accounts and launched a fake Solana (SOL) token called CLAWD.
The token surged to a $16 million market cap within hours. When Steinberger publicly denied having any association with it, the token collapsed more than 90%, leaving late buyers with steep losses.
Early traders profited. Steinberger, meanwhile, faced harassment from angry speculators.

What Federal Reserve Chair nominee Kevin Warsh could do to Bitcoin’s price
With Bitcoin’s price down the pan, investors are now waiting to see what Federal Reserve Chair nominee Kevin Warsh will do to markets if he takes the helm in June.
Despite praising Bitcoin and calling for lower interest rates last year, markets initially priced in Warsh as a hawk — someone who would keep interest rates high in an aggressive bid to tamp down inflation. But it’s what Warsh might do with the Fed’s balance sheet that concerns investors.
Since the Great Recession, the Fed has purchased trillions of dollars of US Treasury bills, flooding banks, and, in turn, the economy with cash. That policy, known as quantitative easing, stimulated the economy, but it has also led financial markets to be addicted to central bank liquidity, Warsh has said.
Reducing its balance sheet could be a problem for Bitcoin, which has in the past benefited from quantitative easing.
Dilin Wu, research analyst at forex broker Pepperstone, told DL News it was “very likely” Warsh as Fed Chair could spark more volatility in crypto markets.
“Aggressive tightening [from Warsh] could shrink bank reserves just as tech firms ramp up leveraged infrastructure and AI spending,” she said “Mismanagement here could trigger stress.”

Robinhood Stumbles on Crypto Woes. Should Investors Buy the Stock on the Dip?
Shares of Robinhood Markets (NASDAQ: HOOD) sank after the trading platform's Q4 revenue fell short of expectations. The stock has now lost more than a third of its value in 2026, as of this writing.
Let's take a closer look at the company's earnings report and prospects to see if investors should buy the dip.
Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need. Continue »
Crypto woes
Robinhood continues to grow quickly as it increases its platform assets. For Q4, revenue jumped 27% to $1.28 billion, but that fell short of the $1.35 billion average analyst estimate, as compiled by FactSet.
Transaction revenue rose by 15% to $776 million. The company is a leader in options trading, and options revenue soared 41% to $314 million. Equity revenue climbed 54% to $94 million, while other transaction revenue surged more than 300% to $147 million. However, cryptocurrency revenue was a big weak spot, tumbling 38% to $221 million,
Robinhood (HOOD) shares crashed more than 10% on Feb. 11, after the fintech firm came in short of revenue estimates in its fourth financial quarter of 2025.
As the stock crumbled under the weight of a downbeat earnings release, its relative strength index (14-day) slipped into the deeply oversold territory — a technical setup that often precedes a rebound.

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong 'more bullish than ever' as company navigates latest crypto downturn

Coinbase Global (COIN) CEO Brian Armstrong sought to ease investor worries amid a major slide across the crypto markets and a brawl in Washington, D.C., that has dimmed hopes for another piece of landmark legislation to pass through Congress.
"We've been through cycles like this many times at Coinbase, and adoption continues to grow. Regulatory clarity is on the horizon, and I'm more bullish than ever,” Armstrong said on the company's earnings call on Thursday.
Armstrong's comments came after Coinbase reported its second-worst quarterly net loss ever, $667 million, due to a $718 million paper loss on its crypto investment portfolio. Excluding swings in its crypto holdings, Coinbase reported adjusted EBITDA of $566 million, a 56% drop compared to the prior year and $89 million below Wall Street forecasts. Coinbase's net revenue tallied $1.7 billion, down $487 million from the same period a year ago.
"There are opportunities in every market, whether it's up and down," Armstrong added, noting the company had benefited from previous crypto downturns.
Coinbase stock rose as much as 9% on Friday morning following the results.
Quarterly trading volume at Coinbase totaled $215 billion, down 51% from $439 billion last year. The company's mainstay revenue stream, fees from retail traders, tumbled more than 45% and was $41 million short of analyst projections.
As Fundstrat head of digital assets Sean Farrell said on Thursday, "Crypto is in no-man's land."
Armstrong reminded analysts of the company's notable progress in its longtime quest to make its business less beholden to crypto prices. In December, Coinbase had a splashy product release introducing trading for stocks, tokenized stocks, futures, and prediction market contracts.
"We now have 12 products doing over 100 million in annualized revenue," he said.

Is Michael Burry Accidentally Bullish On Bitcoin?

Michael Burry's latest two-word post — “$BTC Patterns” — came with a simple annotated chart and ignited a debate: was he flashing a warning, or quietly handing Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) bulls a roadmap?
The famed bubble-watcher has been bearish before, but the chart highlights near-identical boom-bust-base sequences in Bitcoin's history, the kind that sometimes end with a sustained rebound.

But in a market where consensus is leaning bearish, a reminder that Bitcoin has repeatedly recovered is a contrarian spark investors love.

Prediction: This Popular Cryptocurrency Will Plunge 50% (or More) by Year-End 2026

The cryptocurrency market is really taking it to the shins right now. Just a little over a month into 2026, popular assets such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP, as well as mainstream cryptocurrency stocks Robinhood Markets and Coinbase are all lagging the broader market.
While this may be disorienting for some investors, I remain confident in each of the names above. By contrast, another plummeting member of the crypto realm, Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE), may not fare as well as its peers.
Let's explore what makes Dogecoin different than the companies and tokens referenced above and assess why it could be headed for further selling pressure.

What is Dogecoin?
Back in 2013, software engineers Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer created Dogecoin. Unlike Ethereum or XRP, though, Dogecoin's origins don't really lie in disrupting digital commerce. Moreover, Dogecoin has an unlimited supply -- making it starkly different than Bitcoin, which will only ever have 21 million coins.
In reality, Dogecoin was created in response to a then-viral internet meme featuring a Shiba Inu dog. It is not a store of value, nor is it considered an innovative feature within the rapidly evolving fintech ecosystem.
What is Dogecoin used for?
Broadly speaking, cryptocurrency is yet to be widely adopted as a form of payment. While some businesses accept Bitcoin and some banks leverage XRP, the volume of crypto transactions are nowhere near that of fiat currency.
Given its extreme lack of utility, it shouldn't be surprising that Dogecoin's application in the real world is almost nonexistent. Industry data suggests that only about 2,000 businesses worldwide accept Dogecoin in some capacity.
Against this backdrop, Dogecoin has no appeal to institutional backers. Rather, the altcoin is a staple among speculative day traders and retail investing communities known as the "Doge Army." In this sense, Dogecoin's volatility is used for quick trading and entertainment as opposed to long-term portfolio durability.

4 Predictions for, Yep, Crypto Prediction Markets in 2026

Prediction markets are now one of the fastest-growing segments of the fintech industry. Trading volume began to spike in 2025 and has really taken off in 2026. On a weekly basis, nearly $6 billion in prediction markets contracts are now traded on platforms such as Kalshi and Polymarket.
So what can crypto market participants expect in 2026? Here are four big predictions for where things are headed over the next year.

New players and new products
This is an easy prediction: There will be a surge of new players and crypto-specific products to trade in the year ahead. Right now, the two big players are Kalshi and Polymarket. But both Robinhood Markets (NASDAQ: HOOD) and Coinbase Global (NASDAQ: COIN) have entered the fray, and I'm expecting more big names to follow.
Aside from opening more opportunities for retail investors to participate in prediction markets, this should also lead to the launch of innovative products.
Instead of just making a prediction about the future price of a cryptocurrency, for example, investors will also be able to make predictions about the volatility of a specific cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC).

The Real Story Behind Bitcoin’s 10% Crash — Why Liquidations Came Later
Bitcoin price fell more than 10% from its late-January highs, briefly dropping below $81,000 before stabilizing above $82,300. In just 24 hours, the market recorded over $1.7 billion in liquidations, with Bitcoin accounting for nearly $800 million in long liquidations. BTC price is still down over 6%, day-on-day.
Most traders blamed leverage. But the data shows that derivatives did not start this crash. They only accelerated it. The real breakdown began earlier, near a critical on-chain and structural zone.
Heavy Volume, Broken Support, and the $84,600 Trap
The first warning came from the daily chart. Bitcoin printed its largest red volume candle since early December. A red volume candle means aggressive selling pressure, where sellers overpower buyers.
The last time volume reached this level, in early December, Bitcoin dropped nearly 9%.
Back then, buyers stepped in immediately. This time, they did not. Instead, the BTC price slipped below $84,600, a key support level, and continued falling toward $81,000.
At the same time, Bitcoin entered one of its most important on-chain zones.
This is where UTXO Realized Price Distribution (URPD) matters. URPD shows where the existing Bitcoin supply was last bought. Large clusters indicate levels where many coins last changed hands, often acting as major support or resistance zones.
Two of the largest clusters, per the chart, sat at:
$84,569 (3.11% of supply)
$83,307 (2.61% of supply)

The two most popular cryptocurrencies -- Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) -- are trading well below their all-time highs from just a few months ago. Bitcoin is down about 30% from its all-time high of $126,198 in October, while Ethereum is down roughly 40% from its all-time high of $4,954 in August.
Based on these deeply discounted prices, both Bitcoin and Ethereum look like tremendous bargains right now. But which one is the better buy?
Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now, when you join Stock Advisor. See the stocks »
Higher upside potential
First and most importantly, Bitcoin has more upside potential than Ethereum. According to a recent roundup of price predictions from CNBC, crypto industry insiders still think that there's a realistic chance for Bitcoin to hit $200,000 this year. After all, in seven of the past 14 years, Bitcoin has delivered triple-digit percentage returns for investors. So why not again in 2026?
Even analysts that are downgrading their future price targets for Bitcoin have a healthy regard for its powerful upside potential during the next few years. For example, Cathie Wood of Ark Invest recently downgraded her 2030 price target from $1.5 million to $1.2 million. That's a notable 20% reduction in price. But it still implies that Bitcoin is going to turn in a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of more than 60% during the next five years.

Market Opportunities
Real World Assets (RWA) as an important emerging asset class in the cryptocurrency industry are gradually gaining prominence. As of May 2024, the RWA market has exceeded $6.6 billion, demonstrating strong investor interest and growing demand for this innovative financial product. The rise of RWA is closely related to the widespread application of blockchain technology. Through tokenization, real-world assets such as real estate, commodities, and intellectual property can be represented in digital token form on the blockchain. This process brings several key advantages:
Fractional Ownership: Previously indivisible assets can now be divided into smaller tokens, allowing a broader range of investors to participate.
Increased Liquidity: Tokenization simplifies asset trading and has the potential to increase liquidity in traditionally illiquid markets.
Transparency and Security: Blockchain technology ensures the security and transparency of transactions, reducing counterparty risk.
By tokenizing and putting RWA on the chain, it can serve as a source of income in decentralized finance (DeFi). It is expected that by 2030, the asset tokenization market will surge to $10 trillion.

Stablecoin firm Rain valued at $1.95 billion in latest fundraise

Jan 9
(Reuters) - Stablecoin firm Rain said on Friday it had raised $250 million in a
funding round led by ICONIQ, valuing the company at $1.95 billion, as investor
interest in the crypto sector continues to grow.

Stablecoins
are cryptocurrencies designed to hold a steady value by being pegged to assets
such as the U.S. dollar. They are gaining traction with investors, consumers
and large financial institutions as interest in digital assets broadens.

The sector has benefited from a more accommodating stance by
regulators under U.S. President Donald Trump's administration, easing the path
for traditional financial firms to explore crypto products.

The latest series C round brings Rain's total funding to
more than $338 million and comes four months after its previous one. The
company said its valuation has increased more than 17-fold in just 10 months.

The company's top priority is to deliver on its mission by
expanding its presence in key licensed markets, a Rain spokesperson said,
adding that the firm is focused on deepening its full-stack stablecoin payments
platform, including through strategic acquisitions.

Rain provides businesses with infrastructure to issue and
manage stablecoin-linked payment cards and wallets, enabling users to transact
any place, where Visa is accepted.

"Stablecoins are quickly becoming the way money moves
in the 21st century, but adoption by users worldwide requires cards and apps
that just work," Rain's CEO and Co-founder Farooq Malik said in a
statement.

"In the last year, our active card base has increased
30x and our annualized payment volume has increased 38x, but we're still in the
early innings."

He added that the capital would be used to enter new
markets, scale and support more enterprise launches.

Other investors in the latest round included Sapphire
Ventures, Dragonfly, Bessemer Venture Partners, Galaxy Ventures, FirstMark,
Lightspeed, Norwest and Endeavor Catalyst.
