Crypto stocks and Bitcoin ETFs wobble premarket after MSCI shelves crypto-treasury exclusion plan

Crypto stocks and Bitcoin ETFs wobble premarket after MSCI shelves crypto-treasury exclusion plan

New York, Jan 7, 2026, 07:33 (EST) — Premarket MSCI said it will not proceed with a proposal to exclude digital asset treasury companies — firms whose digital asset holdings make up 50% or more of total assets — from its indexes, opting instead for a broader consultation on how non-operating companies should be treated. Reuters That matters because index rules are not academic. Passive funds and benchmark trackers buy and sell when lists change, and the trade can spill into other crypto proxies fast.

Gold, silver stocks jump in U.S. premarket; GLD, SLV and miners in play ahead of jobs data

New York, Jan 7, 2026, 07:33 EST — Premarket Gold and silver stocks were higher in U.S. premarket trading on Wednesday, led by silver miners, as investors stuck with the sector after bullion’s sharp start to the year.
