Coinbase stock steadies after crypto bill snag — and a fresh earnings date lands

New York, Jan 16, 2026, 12:17 PM EST — Regular session Coinbase Global shares nudged up on Friday, recovering a bit of Thursday’s losses. Investors shrugged off a tough regulatory headline, shifting focus to the company’s upcoming earnings report. (Yahoo Finance) By 12:17 p.m. EST, the stock had climbed roughly 0.7% to $240.96, bouncing back from a roughly 6.5% drop the day before. (Yahoo Finance) The bounce follows a hiccup in Capitol Hill’s push for sweeping crypto regulations. A U.S. Senate committee delayed debate on the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act after Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong said the company couldn’t

IREN stock price jumps nearly 9% as crypto miners rally on AI data-center pivot

New York, Jan 16, 2026, 11:26 EST — Regular session IREN Limited shares jumped 8.6% to $56.35 in late-morning trading on Friday, bouncing between $51.94 and $56.73 earlier. Bitcoin fell 1.7% to roughly $94,897, yet some U.S.-listed crypto miners like Riot Platforms, Marathon Digital, and CleanSpark posted gains. This shift is significant as miners are now being valued more for their data-center power and AI infrastructure capabilities than merely bitcoin prices. Traders have eagerly jumped on stocks that highlight “AI and high-performance computing” capacity, especially appealing to big tech firms facing tight power and space constraints. Riot, a key player

Robinhood stock dips as Senate crypto bill delay keeps HOOD in focus

Robinhood stock dips as Senate crypto bill delay keeps HOOD in focus

New York, Jan 16, 2026, 10:52 EST — Regular session Shares of Robinhood Markets dropped 2.8% to $107.27 in early trading Friday. Roughly 11.5 million shares traded hands, putting the online brokerage’s market cap near $127 billion. The shift is significant since HOOD now acts as a quick gauge of sentiment around crypto and U.S. policy risk. When lawmakers hesitate, traders often flock to the same stocks that have already been reacting to digital-asset news. The risk intensified this week when Washington’s newest crypto regulation bill hit a snag. The legislation aims to clarify which regulator is in charge and

XRP price slips as Coinbase opposition stalls key U.S. crypto bill — what traders watch next

New York, Jan 16, 2026, 10:11 AM EST — Regular session. XRP dropped roughly 2% to $2.06 on Friday, deepening its retreat after a U.S. Senate committee put the brakes on a broad crypto market-structure bill. (CoinMarketCap) This setback is significant since the bill aims to clarify how crypto tokens are regulated in the U.S., a demand the industry has pushed for years. Such moves can swiftly shift sentiment in the large, liquid coins. This comes amid a hectic policy week for crypto in Washington, where traders had been betting that a workable framework was just around the corner. Bitcoin

Bitcoin price slips under $96,000 as Senate crypto bill delay dents risk mood

NEW YORK, Jan 16, 2026, 10:20 EST — Regular session Bitcoin dipped 0.9% to $95,412 on Friday, after hitting an intraday peak of $96,975. Ether dropped 1.4%, closing at $3,303. Crypto-related stocks showed mixed moves: Coinbase edged up 0.1%, Strategy slipped 0.4%, and the iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF barely moved. The pullback comes as Washington’s push for clearer crypto regulations hits a roadblock, while a stronger dollar continues to weigh on risk assets. Globally, traders have scaled back expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts; the chance of a March cut now sits around 20%, down from about 50% just a

XRP price slips toward $2 as U.S. crypto bill markup is postponed — what traders watch next

New York, Jan 16, 2026, 06:25 EST — Premarket XRP dropped roughly 2.6% in the last 24 hours, hitting around $2.06 and hovering near the day’s low after early-week gains stumbled on renewed policy doubts in Washington. The token saw about $2.5 billion in trading volume, according to CoinMarketCap data. (CoinMarketCap) The Senate Banking Committee’s markup on crypto market structure, a key near-term event for traders, has been pulled from the schedule. Chairman Tim Scott announced the postponement, citing ongoing bipartisan talks. He described the markup as the stage where lawmakers debate and amend the bill before moving to a

Bitcoin price today: BTC slips toward $95,000 before U.S. open as Senate crypto bill hits a snag

New York, Jan 16, 2026, 06:13 EST — Premarket Bitcoin dipped 1.4% to $95,332 early Friday, retreating from an intraday peak of $97,096 as U.S. markets opened. Ether dropped 1.7%, landing at $3,299.96. This move is significant since bitcoin’s recent surge has relied heavily on two volatile factors: Washington headlines and U.S. interest rates. If either shifts, momentum traders often pull back swiftly. In Washington, a U.S. Senate panel delayed debate on a broad crypto market-structure bill after Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong said his company couldn’t support the draft, citing “too many issues.” Armstrong stated, “We’d rather have no bill

Circle stock dives nearly 10% as Senate crypto bill hits snag — what CRCL traders watch next

New York, January 15, 2026, 9:29 PM (EST) — The market has closed. Shares of Circle Internet Group, Inc. dropped 9.7% on Thursday, ending the day at $76.60. The stock fluctuated between $84.74 and $76.22 during trading. The drop followed the U.S. Senate Banking Committee’s decision to postpone the “markup” session—where senators hash out amendments and vote on the bill text—for the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act. This came just hours after Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong publicly stated the exchange could not back the bill “in its current form.” Armstrong warned the draft would restrict rewards on dollar-pegged stablecoins, telling

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 19:28 ET — After-hours Shares of BitMine Immersion Technologies Inc (BMNR) fell 5.7% to $30.87 in after-hours trading on Thursday after a choppy session that pushed the stock from a high of $33.40 to a low of $30.68.

Bitcoin slid 1.9%, while ether dipped 2.1%, adding pressure on the wider crypto market. The pause came after U.S. lawmakers delayed a key Senate Banking Committee session on a crypto market-structure bill, which investors had counted on to sustain regulatory momentum.

Bitcoin price slides near $95,500 as Senate crypto bill stalls; Coinbase, Strategy shares drop

New York, January 15, 2026, 17:04 (EST) — After-hours trading Bitcoin dropped roughly 2% to $95,528 in late trading, dragging down crypto-related stocks following a volatile day that saw the token near $97,500 earlier. Coinbase tumbled 6.5%, Strategy lost 4.7%, and bitcoin miner Marathon Digital slid 3.9%. The iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF also dipped 2.6%. This shift is significant since investors have been treating crypto like a high-beta risk play, relying on bitcoin ETFs and a few liquid stocks as stand-ins. When policy signals falter, the trade often reverses sharply. In Washington, the Senate Banking Committee suddenly delayed its executive

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 16:57 EST — After-hours Strategy Inc (MSTR) shares ended Thursday down 4.7%, settling at $170.91. The stock saw a brief early rally that fizzled out by the closing bell, and it showed minimal movement in after-hours trading. This is significant since the stock has behaved less like a typical software play and more like a high-beta stand-in for bitcoin, which dropped roughly 2% late Thursday following a brief rally. The U.S. Senate Banking Committee delayed its scheduled markup—a key session to debate and vote on amendments—of a bill aimed at establishing a regulatory framework for
