#BitcoinETFWatch Bitcoin plummeted over the weekend of January 31 – February 1, 2026, falling below the$BTC $ $BNB critical $80,000 psychological support level to a low of approximately $75,644. This drop represents its lowest price since April 2025. As of early February 2, 2026, the price has slightly stabilized near the $78,000 – $79,000 range.
Key Insights: What Most People Missed While headlines focused on the price drop, several structural and macroeconomic factors drove the volatility: Thin Weekend Liquidity: The crash was amplified by low liquidity over the weekend. Smaller-than-usual sell orders moved the price more aggressively due to thin order books. Massive Liquidations: The move below $80,000 triggered a cascade of forced selling. Analysts recorded over $1.3 billion in liquidations within a 12-hour window as long positions were wiped out. The "Strategy" Support Floor: Bitcoin briefly dipped below the average cost basis of major corporate holders like MicroStrategy, signaling a "crisis of confidence" as institutional support levels were tested. Macro Repricing: Investors are repricing risk due to several global factors, including: Fed Policy: Reduced expectations for a near-term Federal Reserve rate cut following strong economic data. Geopolitical Tensions: Reports of an explosion at Iran’s Bandar Abbas port and political uncertainty in the U.S. have pushed investors toward traditional "safe havens" like gold and silver. Institutional Outflows: Spot Bitcoin ETFs, which were a primary source of demand in 2025, recorded a massive $1.61 billion net outflow in January 2026, removing a critical price floor. Future Outlook$ZAMA Technical analysts warn that the level of $80,700 (the aggregate cost basis for active supply) has now turned into a major resistance point. If Bitcoin fails to reclaim this level, some veteran traders predict a further slide into the $50,000 – $60,000 range to "wash out" remaining speculative leverage.
#USPPIJump The US Producer Price Index (PPI) for final demand reached 151.472 in December 2025, representing a 3.0% year-over-year increase. This growth follows a 3.5% advance in 2024. The December 2025 monthly increase of 0.5% was the largest in five months, primarily driven by a 0.7% rise in service prices. $BTC
Recent Monthly Trends (2025) The index saw steady growth throughout the latter half of 2025: December 2025: 151.472 (up 0.5% monthly) November 2025: 150.733 (up 0.2% monthly) October 2025: 150.375 (up 0.1% monthly) September 2025: 150.241 August 2025: 149.259 Historical Annual Performance The PPI measures the average change over time in the selling prices received by domestic producers. Historically, the annual change has averaged 3.07% since 1950. 2025 Annual Change: +3.0% 2024 Annual Change: +3.5% 2023 Performance: Year-over-year growth cooled significantly, reaching a low of 0.26% in June 2023 after peaks above 11% in 2022. Key Insights Service Costs: Services for intermediate demand rose 2.7% in 2025, compared to a 3.1% increase in 2024. Wholesale Margins: A significant portion of the recent December jump was attributed to a rise in margins for machinery and equipment wholesaling. Pipeline Pressures: Core final demand (excluding food and energy) rose 3.7% year-over-year in December 2025, indicating continued inflation pressure in the production pipeline. $ETH #CZAMAonBinanceSquare $
The White House is meeting folks, Congress advanced a bill and key regulators are back to joint press appearances.
Despite the rocky start crypto policymaking got off to this year, at the moment it does look like U.S. policymakers are making progress on the legislative and regulatory fronts. The White House is kicking off new discussions on stablecoin yield with representatives of the banking and crypto industries.
You’re reading State of Crypto, a CoinDesk newsletter looking at the intersection of cryptocurrency and government. Click here to sign up for future editions.
Fits and starts The narrative The Senate Agriculture Committee voted to advance market structure legislation, the White House is directly involved in resolving yield issues and the SEC and CFTC are back to trying to get crypto rulemaking going. What we don't know yet is how quickly these discussions will lead to changes in the Senate Banking Committee's version of the market structure bill, or indeed, how far apart the different groups are.Why it matters The year is still young but lawmakers appear to be making progress on market structure legislation. Let's see what happens in February.
Breaking it down The White House is convening a meeting of representatives from the crypto and banking industries to kickstart a conversation on stablecoin yield and rewards. The parties involved so far largely consist of representatives from trade organizations and lobbyist groups, though a handful of companies also appear to be sending representatives from their policy teams.
The parties will likely discuss what they might be willing to compromise on around the yield issue, and could form the basis of further negotiations as the Senate Banking Committee gets back to negotiating the bill itself.
Of course, yield rewards was just one of the many outstanding areas of disagreement; there's still anti-money laundering and #USPPIJump #USIranStandoff #ZAMAPreTGESale
Trump says Iran already has US terms as military strike clock ticks
President Donald Trump said Friday that the United States has directly communicated expectations to Iran as pressure mounts for Tehran to accept a nuclear deal, even as Iranian officials publicly signal interest in talks.
Asked whether Iran faces a deadline to make a deal, Trump suggested the timeline already had been conveyed privately.
"Only they know for sure," he said, confirming when pressed that the message had been delivered directly to Iranian leaders.
Trump also tied the growing U.S. naval presence in the region explicitly to Iran, saying American warships "have to float someplace" and "might as well float near Iran" as Washington weighs its next steps.
IRAN REVOLUTIONARY GUARD COMMANDER SAYS REGIME HAS 'FINGER ON THE TRIGGER' AS US WARSHIPS HEAD TO MIDDLE EAST
Meanwhile, Iran is ready to discuss its nuclear program with the U.S. "on an equal footing," Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Friday, as Washington dramatically ramps up military pressure in the Middle East amid growing doubts about Tehran’s willingness to accept verifiable limits on its nuclear ambitions.
The U.S. has long insisted Iran give up its ability to enrich uranium — the material used to build a nuclear weapon — while Iran maintains it has never pursued a bomb and says its nuclear program is intended for energy and civilian purposes.
Araghchi said no meeting was currently scheduled with U.S. officials, but left the door open to talks under specific conditions.
"If the negotiations are fair and on an equal footing, the Islamic Republic of Iran is ready to participate," he said, adding that talks could not happen immediately. "Preparations are needed, both in terms of the form and subject of the discussions and the venue."U.S. and allied officials, however, remain deeply skeptical.
On the final week of January 2026, BlackRock recorded a combined outflow from its $BTC (IBIT) and Ethereum (ETHA) spot ETFs. This aggressive sell- side pressure played a central role in forcing Bitcoin below the major $80,000 support zone.
- Bitcoin (IBIT): $947M sold. The exit peaked on Jan 30 with $528M in a single day -the fund's largest daily outflow of the year.
- Ethereum (ETHA): $264M sold. The heaviest selling occurred Jan 30 with a $157M exit.
This activity coincided with a wider market purge where total industry-wide Bitcoin ETF outflows exceeded $1.5B for the week ($818M on Jan 29 alone), proving the sell- off extended across all major issuers.
By dropping below the $80,000 $BTC mark, a massive amount of institutional buyers are now in the red. We are witnessing the structural shift where this $80K level has flipped from support to heavy resistance, and some analysts already eyeing the $72-75K level as the next possible floor.$ETH #WhenWillBTCRebound #PreciousMetalsTurbulence #MarketCorrection #USPPIJump #BitcoinETFWatch
ETH, SOL and DOGE slide 7% as $850 million bullish bets end up liquidated📉
Ether, solana and XRP led losses across crypto as a wave of long liquidations swept futures markets, showing stress spreading beyond bitcoin during weekend trading. Nearly $1 billion in crypto positions were liquidated over 24 hours as a weekend sell-off spread across major tokens and high-beta altcoins. Ether led the losses with about $385 million in liquidations, followed by bitcoin at roughly $188 million, while solana and XRP each saw more than $45 million wiped out. The wave of mostly long-position liquidations, including in tokenized silver, reflected thin weekend liquidity and a mechanical reset in leverage rather than outright panic, leaving the market's next direction dependent on how quickly risk builds back up.$ETH $ $SOL $ $DOGE
Foreign holdings of U.S. Treasuries hit an all-time high of $9.4 trillion in November, despite notable selloffs from China and India. Japan’s holdings of U.S. debt increased 11% annually to reach $1.2 trillion, while Canada’s purchases climbed 27% over the period, with the total now at $472 billion. Each year, the U.S. needs to sell more Treasuries to finance its growing budget deficit.
Both domestic and overseas investors buy this debt, with foreign holders of U.S. Treasuries owning a record $9.4 trillion of the total. Overall, European countries collectively hold close to 40% of foreign-owned U.S. debt.
This graphic shows which countries hold U.S. debt, based on U.S. Treasury data.With $1.2 trillion in U.S. Treasuries, Japan is the largest foreign holder of U.S. debt.
In 2019, Japan overtook China, marking a major shift from a decade earlier, when China held nearly $1.3 trillion. Since then, China’s Treasury holdings have been nearly cut in half, while Japan’s have risen more modestly, up $61 billion over the same period. The UK ranks next, with $888.5 billion in U.S. federal debt. In the past 12 months, these debt holdings increased by the double-digits, a pattern echoed across several European nations, including Belgium, France, and Norway.
By contrast, BRICS countries saw significant selloffs. Brazil’s holdings fell 27%, outpacing India’s 20% decline and China’s 11% reduction. At the same time, gold’s share of global central bank reserves surpassed U.S. Treasuries in late 2025 for the first time since 1996.
While U.S. Treasury demand is shaped by many complex factors, 2025 underscored a clear divergence. Traditional U.S. allies continued to build their positions, while others increasingly diversified away, likely reflecting growing geopolitical considerations.$BTC $BNB $ZAMA #USGovShutdown #MarketCorrection

US government partially shuts down despite last minute funding deal
The US federal government has partially shutdown despite a last-ditch funding deal approved by the Senate.
The funding lapse began at midnight US eastern time (05:00 GMT) on Saturday, hours after senators agreed to fund most agencies until September. The bill includes just two weeks' funding for the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees immigration enforcement, instead of shutting it down entirely.
The bill has yet to be approved by the House of Representatives, which is out of session.
US President Donald Trump struck the deal with Democrats after they refused to give more funding for immigration enforcement following the fatal shooting of two US citizens in Minneapolis by federal agents. It is the second such government shutdown in the past year and comes just 11 weeks after the end of the previous funding impasse that lasted 43 days, the longest in US history.
That shutdown in 2025, which spanned 1 October to 14 November, had widespread impacts on essential government services including air travel and left hundreds of thousands of federal workers without pay for weeks.
This shutdown, however, is unlikely to be that long or widespread as the House of Representatives is set to be back in session on Monday. The White House, though, has directed several agencies, including the departments of transportation, education and defence to execute shutdown plans. Employees should report to work for their next regularly scheduled tour of duty to undertake orderly shutdown activities," a White House memo to agencies said. "It is our hope that this lapse will be short." Trump has urged Republicans, who hold the majority of seats in the US House, to vote for the deal. Lawmakers plan to use the fortnight in which the DHS will continue to be funded to negotiate a deal. Democrats want that deal to include new policies for immigration enforcement agents. We need to rein in ICE and end the violence," Senate Minority Leader .$BTC $ETH $ZAMA
2025 marked a structural shift, not a speculative peak - World Gold Council’s Joe Cavatoni Gold’s record-breaking run in 2025 was not a speculative event. According to the World Gold Council, it was a year that “anchored the case for gold” across central banks, investors, and consumers alike — a structural reset that continues to reverberate through markets in early 2026.
The WGC publishes its fourth-quarter and year-end Gold Demand Trends report on Thursday. According to the data, global demand for physical gold surpassed 5,000 tonnes for the first time on record last year, with the precious metal setting 53 new all-time highs. Robust demand drove the annual average price to $3,431 an ounce, up 44% year over year.
“If you didn’t understand gold before, 2025 explained it to you,” said Joseph Cavatoni, senior market strategist at the World Gold Council, in an interview with Cavatoni stressed that focusing on price alone misses the more important shift now underway. He said the most meaningful change he is seeing among institutional investors is not fear of missing out, but a reassessment of gold’s role within portfolios.
“For years the question was, ‘Did I miss the trade?’” he said. “That’s no longer the right question. The right question is: what role does gold play in my portfolio now?”
That reframing is showing up clearly in the data. Investment demand surged 84% in 2025 to a record 2,175 tonnes, driven primarily by inflows into gold-backed exchange-traded funds of 801 tonnes — the second-strongest year on record — alongside a 12-year high in bar and coin demand.
Unlike momentum traders, ETF allocators are making strategic decisions based on diversification, correlation, and long-term portfolio resilience.
ETF providers don’t buy bounces,” Cavatoni said. “They ask whether the asset works in the portfolio, whether it’s near fair value, and whether they should be overweight or underweight right now.”$BTC $BNB $SOL #GOLD_UPDATE #BitcoinETFWatch #USGovShutdown
Global trade has been upset by tariffs introduced by US President Donald Trump on countries who wish to trade with the US but whom he sees as unfavourable.
His trade policies continue to worry investors, helping to drive the gold rally, says Emma Wall, chief investment strategist at Hargreaves Lansdown.
In January, gold and silver prices hit record highs, but share prices fell as investors reacted to Trump's threat of fresh tariffs on eight European countries opposed to his proposed takeover of Greenland.
Hamad Hussain, an economist at Capital Economics, said the perception gold is a safe investment, in contrast with the risks associated with US foreign and fiscal policies under Trump, has put the precious metal "in the spotlight".
Vietnam gold prices plunged Friday morning, mirroing a sharp drop in global bullion rates. $BTC Saigon Jewelry Company gold bar price fell 4.22% to VND181.6 million (US$7,010.36) per tael of 37.5 grams or 1.2 ounces. Other sellers similarly lowered their rates.

Gold ring price dropped 4.59% to VND180.6 million per tael.Globally, gold slid more than 4% on Friday on rumors the Federal Reserve could get a more hawkish chair, but was still on track for its strongest monthly gain since 1980 as investors flocked to the safe haven amid lingering geopolitical and economic strains, Reuters reported.

$BRIC BRICS laying first tracks for new global payment system
A BRICS currency to facilitate de-dollarization remains a distant dream, but a digital currency alternative to SWIFT is nearly here
As India prepares to host the BRICS summit later this year, the focus will be on a payment system linking national digital currencies. By prioritizing this infrastructure over launching a new currency, the bloc makes a pragmatic bet that practical systems will reshape global finance more than symbolic gestures.
At the summit, a crucial agenda item signals a potential shift: developing a BRICS payment system built on interoperable central bank digital currencies (CBDCs).This infrastructure-focused initiative has drawn less attention, as it avoids the drama of calls for a ‘BRICS currency’ or overt de-dollarization. However, its avoidance of headline-grabbing moves may make it more consequential, underscoring the main argument: practical infrastructure changes can reshape finance more than symbolic challenges.
In this spirit, rather than challenging the dollar directly, the proposal focuses on a more pragmatic approach—building alternative payment rails that allow trade to be settled directly between national digital currencies, reducing reliance on the dollar-based SWIFT system.$BTC

Powell dismisses gold’s rally above $5,300, says Fed is not losing credibility
Powell made the comments after the Federal Reserve decided to leave the federal funds rate in a range between 3.50% and 3.75% following its first monetary policy meeting of the year. The decision was in line with economists' expectations. According to the CME FedWatch Tool, markets don’t see the next rate cut until June.
While Powell has been fairly quick to dismiss the precious metals’ historic rally, the same can be said for the gold market, which has largely ignored Powell's comments as he walked a fairly neutral line.
He said that both upside risks to inflation and downside risks to the labor market have eased.
“We think we are well-positioned here to watch how the economy unfolds,” he said.
At the same time, Powell also kept the door open for a potential rate hike.$BTC $ZAMA
The entire world has been captivated by gold’s and silver’s surging momentum as prices hit record high after record high; however, the Federal Reserve Chair is not very impressed with the precious metals’ accomplishments.
Many analysts have attributed gold’s and silver’s unprecedented start to the new year, in part, to growing uncertainty surrounding the Federal Reserve’s political independence; however, during his monetary policy press conference, Powell dismissed those concerns.
“The argument can be made that we are losing credibility, but that simply is not the case. If you look at wherein flation expectations are, our credibility is right where it needs to be,” he said. “We don't get spun up over particular asset change prices, although we do monitor them, of course.”
