Morgan Stanley is rapidly advancing its presence in the cryptocurrency market, recently applying to launch Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs, indicating a shift from observation to active participation. The planned "Morgan Stanley Ethereum Trust" will directly hold Ethereum and stake it to generate additional income, but this income will not be directly distributed to investors.

Including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a total of 30 Democratic members of Congress have recently publicly expressed support for the "2026 Financial Prediction Market Public Integrity Act," which aims to comprehensively ban elected officials and insiders from participating in political prediction market transactions to prevent conflicts of interest between policy power and personal profit. This legislation emerged in the context of a wallet linked to Trump associate Steven Charles, which placed bets before Venezuelan President Maduro's arrest and profited $400,000. According to the current draft of the bill, the legislation will: Prohibit federal elected officials Prohibit political appointees Prohibit administrative department civil servants And in the latest version, include congressional aides and staff In cases where they "hold or can reasonably obtain" material non-public information due to their position, participation in any activities related to government policy, government actions, or political outcomes

Pendle is a highly influential DeFi protocol, ranked 13th in 2025 with an average TVL of $5.7 billion. Despite the decline in token prices, its innovative yield stripping feature and v2-based yield trading still hold potential for growth. The launch of Boros could alter the tokenomics, and Pendle needs to overcome liquidity structure limitations and short-term market challenges to achieve sustainable growth.

U.S. President Trump recently announced that he will take immediate executive action and push for legislation to ban large institutional investors from purchasing single-family homes, aiming to make way for ordinary American families and alleviate the increasingly severe housing affordability crisis. The statement triggered market volatility, with shares of major home rental companies falling sharply. However, data shows that institutional investors hold only about 1% of the total single-family home stock nationwide, and their share in local markets is also limited. Analysts believe that this move, aimed at catering to populist sentiment, although politically considered, is unlikely to fundamentally solve the housing crisis driven by structural contradictions such as severe supply shortages and high construction costs. If implemented, the policy could reshape the residential investment landscape, but its actual effectiveness and potential side effects have sparked widespread controversy.

Entering 2026, the native token Pi Coin of the mobile mining project Pi Network has recently seen a significant increase in trading activity, and market attention has rebounded. Its price is supported by buying interest near the key $0.20 support level, recording approximately a 2% increase over the past 7 days. Technical analysis indicates that if the price can hold above the current support, the short-term upside target could be $0.35. However, trading of its ETP products in the Swedish market remains light, and there is potential token unlock selling pressure, indicating that market sentiment remains divided. The long-term trend requires more fundamental catalysts for confirmation.

Dogecoin (DOGE) experienced an 8.3% rise, reaching a sell wall at $0.1529 with two more overhead. Holding above $0.1396 support, DOGE also gained 6.0% against Bitcoin. Current market behavior suggests constrained upward movement within defined resistance and support levels.

Bitcoin is starting the year with strength, but not without turbulence. After briefly dipping below $92,000 yesterday, the BTC price quickly reclaimed that level and turned it back into short-term support. The price is now trading around $92,700, recovering from a rejection near $94,500

Maduro claims to hold 660,000 Bitcoins worth $60 billion. Venezuela sold 73 tons of gold in 2018 to exchange for 400,000 BTC, then used oil to exchange for USDT and transferred to BTC. Venezuela's annual oil production value is only $20 billion, taking three years to earn $60 billion. Directly taking over Bitcoin would immediately credit the account, killing four birds with one stone for Trump: eliminate Maduro, take control of oil, and replenish strategic reserves.

MSCI Temporarily Halts Removal of Holdings, Strategy Rises After Hours and Avoids $2.8 Billion Passive Sell-Off (Previous context: MicroStrategy Strategy invests an additional $100 million to purchase 1,229 Bitcoins, bringing total holdings to over 672,000 BTC) (Additional background: Michael Saylor reiterates Bitcoin targets of $1 million and $10 million: waiting for Strategy to hold 5% or 7% of total BTC supply) US index provider MSCI announced late on the 6th that in the February quarter adjustment, it will temporarily suspend the implementation of the plan to classify companies with digital asset holdings exceeding 50% as investment funds, directly alleviating market fears of the removal of 39 digital asset treasury companies including Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy). Once the news broke, St

MSCI, a leading global index provider, announced on Tuesday that it will temporarily suspend the implementation of a proposal that could remove digital asset treasury companies from its global indices. This means that companies like Strategy, which hold over $60 billion in Bitcoin, can remain in the "club" for now. The move directly boosted Strategy's stock price by about 5% in after-hours trading, recovering from the day's decline. The decision temporarily alleviated market concerns about billions of dollars in passive funds potentially flowing out, but MSCI also stated that it will initiate a broader review of "non-operating companies," laying the groundwork for potential rule adjustments in the future.

Writing by: Cathy, Plain Blockchain On January 3, 2026, in the early morning, U.S. special forces arrested Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in Caracas during a military operation codenamed "Absolute Resolve." This event has sparked a huge question in the crypto community: Does the Maduro regime really hide the rumored "shadow reserves"? According to reports from the investigative agency Whale Hunting and multiple intelligence sources, there is a shocking rumor circulating in the market: the Maduro regime may hold between 600,000 and 660,000 bitcoins. If this rumor is true, based on market prices in early 2026, the total value could reach $60-67 billion. What does this mean? MicroStrategy (now renamed Strategy), a company known as the "Bitcoin whale,"

MicroStrategy's stock has dropped 66% in six months, trading at a 20-25% discount to its Bitcoin holdings. Analysts see potential recovery if Bitcoin stabilizes. Key support levels hold at $150-$157, with targets set for $200. The upcoming MSCI ruling may impact the stock's index status.

In the first week of 2026, the cryptocurrency market is filled with bullish sentiment. As Bitcoin stabilizes above the $90,000 mark, derivatives traders are holding strong expectations for the new year's market, increasingly betting that Bitcoin will further surge past the $100,000 milestone. According to data from Deribit, the world's largest cryptocurrency options exchange, since last Friday (the 2nd), demand for Bitcoin call options with a strike price of $100,000 expiring at the end of January has surged rapidly, indicating that the market is not only optimistic about January's行情 but also targeting the highly significant "six-figure" milestone. A call option is a contract that gives the buyer the right (but not the obligation) to purchase the underlying asset at a predetermined price within a specific period in the future. The recent surge in demand for the $100,000 strike price options suggests that the market is betting that Bitcoin's price will be able to hold steady or even break through this level before or at the time of the contract's expiration.

Pi Network's native token $PI has staged an impressive rebound in recent trading sessions, gaining significant ground amid renewed community enthusiasm and ecosystem developments.

In 2025, Bitcoin's annual line first declined after the halving, breaking the traditional 4-year cycle rule. The core reason is that the US PMI indicator continues to hover in the neutral 46-50 range. Based on the cyclical decline pattern, 2026 may face a 60% to 65% retracement, with a target price of $42,000 to $48,000. The decisive factor is whether the PMI can rebound above 51 in the second half of the year.

Since the Ethereum upgrade on December 3rd with Fusaka, new holders have surged by 110%, with approximately 292,000 addresses added daily. The upgrade improves scalability and reduces Layer 2 costs, addressing high transaction fee issues. Ethereum is trading at $3,141, approaching the breakout zone of the descending wedge, with technical indicators showing a 29.5% upside potential. Mid-term holders are forced to hold to provide support but may limit the upside.

BTC this morning quickly broke through $93,000, testing the psychological resistance. Asian stock markets also opened higher in sync, with the Taiwan stock index aiming for 30,000 points.

The warning letter from Washington's political circles in the United States is chilling. U.S. Representative Warren Davidson's deliberate criticism of the 2025 "Genius Act" raises fundamental questions about the so-called "innovation"—stablecoins—that we are now trying to believe and accept. He characterizes the bill as a "Trojan horse," ostensibly aimed at fostering the stablecoin market, but in reality allowing the government and banks to scrutinize and control all individual financial activities under a microscope. Representative Davidson's insights pierce through the illusion of digital finance. The "account-based" system mandated by the Genius Act stifles the fundamental reason for the existence of cryptocurrencies—decentralization. This is not "digital cash" that allows us to hold and freely transfer our funds; rather, it records our funds on bank and government ledgers, requiring their approval to move—digital shackles. Ultimately, this will pave the way to a totalitarian regime through digital IDs.

Author: Aleks Gilbert, DL News Translation: Wu Shuo The past year, the United States experienced a crypto policy revolution. In less than a year of his second term, President Donald Trump appointed industry-friendly regulators who ended investigations into crypto companies, made it easier for banks to hold crypto assets, and also facilitated asset management firms in launching crypto-related ETFs. Under Trump's push, lawmakers passed landmark legislation on stablecoins and made significant progress in market structure legislation. After these victories became facts, it’s natural to wonder whether 2026 will still be an important year for crypto policy. The short answer is: yes. So, without further ado, here are some key dates for US crypto policy in 2026. January January is destined to be a month of events
