Bitcoin’s long-term security is facing fresh scrutiny as senior financial leaders warn about the potential impact of quantum computing. The latest warning comes from UBS CEO Sergio Ermotti, who raised concerns at the World Economic Forum in Davos. Ermotti said the effect of quantum computing on the safety of cryptocurrencies still needs to be proven. His comments place him alongside other high-profile figures, including Ray Dalio and BlackRock executives, who have also flagged the issue.

Ethereum is emerging as the backbone of Wall Street’s push into tokenized assets, according to BlackRock’s 2026 thematic outlook. The asset manager said the network supports about 65% of all tokenized assets today. BlackRock said Ethereum could benefit from the growing use of blockchain in traditional finance. The firm described the network as a potential “toll road” for blockchain-based markets used by major financial institutions. The report noted that Ethereum is becoming a preferred settlement layer for real-world assets. It added that stablecoins are seeing real economic use, with adoption now outpacing spot crypto trading volumes. Jay Jacobs, BlackRock’s U.S.…
Bitcoin, decentralized finance, and tokenized assets will drive the next phase of the crypto market, according to a new report from ARK Invest. The firm says these areas are moving from speculation into real use within global capital markets. In its “Big Ideas 2026” report, ARK forecasts the digital asset market could reach $28 trillion by 2030.

U.S. ETFs and public companies now hold about 12% of Bitcoin’s total…
Ethereum-based DeFi platform Makina Finance has lost around $4 million worth of ETH following a flash loan exploit. The attack targeted one of the platform’s USDC-related liquidity pools. Blockchain security firms, including PeckShield, said the attacker used a large flash loan to manipulate prices. The hacker borrowed about $280 million in USDC and used a portion of it to distort price data in Makina’s USD-USDC pool. After inflating prices, the attacker traded heavily on the pool and drained more than 1,000 ETH. In total, Makina lost 1,299 ETH during the incident. PeckShield said the issue was caused by a classic…
BitMine Immersion Technologies added $108 million worth of Ethereum last week, even as its stock fell sharply on Tuesday. The drop came as markets reacted to renewed trade war concerns linked to U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariff threats. The company bought about 35,268 ETH, raising its total holdings to more than 4.2 million ETH. This represents nearly 3.5% of Ethereum’s circulating supply and is valued at over $12.8 billion. BitMine also holds 192 Bitcoin worth about $17.4 million, along with nearly $1 billion in cash. Chairman Tom Lee said growing interest in tokenization and Wall Street use cases is helping…
Dogecoin is trading inside a clear descending channel, signaling continued weakness in the market. The price is forming lower highs and lower lows, a pattern that shows sellers remain in control. DOGE has failed to regain its point of control, an important level that reflects where most trading activity occurs. Losing this level suggests the market is now accepting lower prices. Recent bounce attempts have been weak and short-lived. Instead of a strong recovery, Dogecoin continues to respect the channel structure, which often points to trend continuation rather than a reversal. The broader setup reflects steady selling pressure. Each rally…
Bitcoin is under pressure as bearish signals grow and traders turn cautious. The world’s largest cryptocurrency is slipping amid weak momentum and a broader risk-off mood in global markets. Bitcoin is trading near $90,658 after falling below $92,000 earlier in the session. The $90,000 level has become the key support to watch. Traders see it as a line that could either stabilize the price or open the door to further losses. The pullback comes as markets react to macro uncertainty, including concerns around U.S. trade policy and tariffs. Short-term support levels have broken, suggesting buyers are losing control for now.…
Bitcoin spot ETFs recorded $394.68 million in net outflows on January 16, ending a four-day inflow streak. The reversal followed $1.81 billion that flowed into Bitcoin funds earlier in the week. The outflows marked a shift after strong demand between January 12 and January 15. During that period, Bitcoin ETFs nearly erased losses from early January selling.

Grayscale’s GBTC also recorded outflows, while several other Bitcoin ETFs saw no activity for…
A crypto holder lost more than $282 million in Bitcoin and Litecoin on January 10 in a hardware wallet social engineering scam. The theft was reported by blockchain investigator ZachXBT. The stolen assets included large amounts of Bitcoin and Litecoin taken from a single victim. The incident is now considered one of the largest individual crypto thefts reported in 2026. Soon after the theft, the attacker began laundering the funds through instant exchanges. The stolen Bitcoin and Litecoin were converted into Monero to make tracking more difficult. The large conversion volume caused Monero’s price to rise sharply for a short…
