Bitcoin Pullback and Policy Heat Up as DeFi Braces for Regulatory Shake Up
The Blockchain Revolution: Cryptocurrency & DeFi Insights podcast.
Hey folks, Crypto Willy here, your best buddy diving deep into the blockchain buzz for the week leading up to January 24, 2026. Markets are wild, policy's heating up, and DeFi's plotting its next big leap—let's unpack it all.
Bitcoin's hovering around $89,500 after a sharp pullback, thanks to tariff talks and trade jitters slamming risk assets, per Metal Pay's January 23 roundup. Polymarket gives just a 6% shot at $100K before January 31, while Kalshi pegs under 10% by February—traders eye a drop to $80K first, with $100K maybe not till mid-year, says Cointelegraph. Ethereum shed 9.7%, Solana 10.9%, and altcoins like LOAN Protocol tanked 17.3%. But hey, BitGo just debuted on the NYSE, raising $212 million and popping above IPO price—CEO Mike Belshe calls it a win for compliant custody, as Yahoo Finance reported January 22. Strategy's CEO Phong Le stays bullish, predicting 2026 as a monster year for BTC with stablecoin issuance and lending ramps.
DeFi's policy arena is electric. Senate Banking and Ag Committees delayed markups of the Digital Asset Market CLARITY Act to late January for bipartisan tweaks on stablecoins and DeFi rules—Coinbase even pulled support over privacy fears, notes DeFi Planet's weekend roundup. DEF's Amanda Tuminelli outlined 2026 priorities: legislation, rulemaking, and dev protections in her EOY letter. Fresh CFTC Chair Michael Selig, sworn in December, announced staff picks, per Lowenstein Sandler's Crypto Brief. House reps Max Miller and Steven Horsford dropped the PARITY Act draft, easing taxes on staking, mining, and stablecoin swaps. Senate Ag's Chairman Boozman unveiled new market structure draft ahead of a January 21 meeting, via DEF's January 23 Debrief.
Trends? DL News forecasts privacy protocols exploding on Ethereum and beyond, plus TradFi like Revolut and Stripe's Tempo blockchain diving deeper into DeFi. Beam's team linked with Selini Capital and Tether for CASH RWA perps on Hyperliquid, bridging real-world assets seamlessly.
What a week—volatility, IPOs, and regs paving the way forward. Thanks for tuning in, pals—catch you next week for more. This has been a Quiet Please production, and for me, check out Quiet Please Dot A I. Stay stacked!
