Coinbase stock rises as Senate crypto bill fight puts stablecoin rewards back in play

Coinbase stock rises as Senate crypto bill fight puts stablecoin rewards back in play

New York, January 12, 2026, 12:22 EST — Regular session Shares of Coinbase Global Inc rose Monday following a Bloomberg Law report that the crypto exchange is pressing U.S. lawmakers to keep the “rewards” it pays to stablecoin holders. The company might withdraw support for a key market-structure bill if the proposed restrictions become too strict. (Bloomberg Law) The timing is crucial. Senate negotiators aim to finalize a wide-ranging framework for crypto markets, but stablecoin rewards have sparked a last-minute battle between banks and crypto firms, each pushing to influence the final wording. Coinbase climbed roughly 2.1% to $245.83 by

Tennessee crackdown hits Kalshi, Polymarket and Crypto.com sports contracts — Kalshi says it’s suing

Tennessee crackdown hits Kalshi, Polymarket and Crypto.com sports contracts — Kalshi says it’s suing

Nashville, January 12, 2026, 11:00 CST Tennessee’s sports betting regulator has ordered prediction market platforms Kalshi, Polymarket, and Crypto.com to halt offering sports event contracts to state residents. The companies received cease-and-desist letters demanding they stop operations immediately. (crypto.news) This shift is significant as sports-linked prediction markets have grown rapidly, muddying the waters between trading and gambling. States that regulate sportsbooks are now pushing to regulate these contracts similarly, aiming to curb their rise as a go-to method for “betting” on games. The platforms see this as a battle for territory. They insist these contracts qualify as financial products rather

Robinhood (HOOD) stock jumps as bitcoin climbs; traders eye earnings and fresh scrutiny on event contracts

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 11:40 AM EST — Regular session Shares of Robinhood Markets, Inc. climbed 3.6% to $119.38 on Monday, bouncing back after an early slump and adding to a volatile start for the retail trading platform’s stock this week. Robinhood’s shift is crucial since it acts as a barometer for crypto sentiment and day-trader behavior—both can swing sharply with price shifts. With the next earnings report due in under a month, traders are guessing if the trading momentum from late 2025 spilled over into the year’s final weeks. This comes as regulators continue to crack down on

XRP price drifts near $2 as crypto fund outflows grow and ETF filings shift the backdrop

XRP price drifts near $2 as crypto fund outflows grow and ETF filings shift the backdrop

NEW YORK, Jan 12, 2026, 11:07 AM EST — Regular session XRP slipped about 0.5% on Monday, settling near $2.09. The token remains trapped in a tight range, leaving both bulls and bears frustrated. (CoinMarketCap) This shift is significant because inflows into listed crypto products now serve as a sharp gauge of risk appetite, particularly early in the year when portfolios adjust and liquidity tightens. XRP, in particular, has attracted a rising number of U.S.-listed funds, heightening its sensitivity to news that would have barely registered a year ago. The move comes as markets continue to adjust to shifting interest-rate

IREN stock jumps as bitcoin firms up; what traders are watching next

IREN stock jumps as bitcoin firms up; what traders are watching next

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 11:15 EST — Regular session underway. IREN Limited shares jumped Monday, gaining roughly 7.3% to $49.38 as buyers returned to crypto-linked stocks. Early trading saw the price fluctuate between $45.85 and $49.83, with roughly 20.5 million shares changing hands. The move is significant because IREN straddles two worlds: it continues mining bitcoin while also positioning itself as an AI infrastructure player. This dual focus leaves the stock vulnerable to swings from both crypto prices and the pace of data-center expansions. Rate-cut timing remains unclear, rattling investors in high-growth stocks linked to hefty capex. A handful

Strategy Inc stock ticks higher after $1.25 billion bitcoin buy funded by fresh share sales

Strategy Inc stock ticks higher after $1.25 billion bitcoin buy funded by fresh share sales

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 10:23 EST — Regular session Strategy Inc’s shares inched up 0.2% to $157.64 Monday morning following the company’s announcement that it tapped new share sales to finance another sizable bitcoin acquisition. The disclosure comes as bitcoin sits near $91,132, pushing investors to revisit a familiar dilemma: does Strategy’s “bitcoin-first” balance sheet provide an edge, or simply amplify volatility? Dilution is the key issue now. Strategy has been selling securities on the market, then using the proceeds to buy bitcoin. This effectively turns its stock into a leveraged proxy for bitcoin exposure. Strategy revealed in an

Bitcoin price holds near $91,000 after Strategy’s $1.25 billion buy; crypto stocks mixed

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 10:30 EST — Regular session Bitcoin held close to $91,000 on Monday, while U.S.-listed crypto stocks showed mixed moves following Strategy’s announcement of a new $1.25 billion bitcoin acquisition. This muted shift is significant as investors juggle two factors: institutional demand for bitcoin from large buyers and ETFs, alongside a swift shock to U.S. markets linked to doubts about Federal Reserve independence. Tuesday’s U.S. inflation report now stands as the key pivot for rates, the dollar, and risk appetite. Bitcoin climbed 0.35% to $91,164, bouncing between $90,097 and $92,369 earlier. Coinbase shares gained 0.6%, Strategy

XRP price today: Ripple token slips near $2 in India as Powell probe jars markets

XRP price today: Ripple token slips near $2 in India as Powell probe jars markets

MUMBAI, Jan 12, 2026, 16:57 IST — The market has closed. XRP dipped on Monday, lingering just below the $2 level as traders digested new political tensions involving the U.S. Federal Reserve and braced for crucial U.S. inflation figures. (CoinMarketCap) This shift is significant since crypto markets have lately responded less to token news and more to quick shifts in rates and risk appetite. Powell’s showdown with the White House weakened the dollar and sent funds toward safe havens, forcing traders to sift through what happens next. (Reuters) Rate expectations are shifting.

IREN Limited stock (NASDAQ: IREN) nudges up premarket as bitcoin steadies and CPI looms

IREN Limited stock (NASDAQ: IREN) nudges up premarket as bitcoin steadies and CPI looms

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 04:51 EST — Premarket IREN Limited’s shares ticked up roughly 0.7% to $46.03 in early premarket action Monday. The stock finds itself caught between two fast-moving trades: crypto pricing and the surge in demand for power-hungry AI computing. Tuesday at 8:30 a.m. ET brings the U.S. consumer price index report for December, a key figure that frequently shakes up rates and risk assets. Bitcoin edged up 0.1%, hovering around $90,714. Crypto-mining stocks showed a mixed bag: Marathon Digital slipped nearly 2%, while Riot Platforms and Core Scientific gained 1.3% and 2.5%, respectively. CleanSpark dropped close

IREN Limited stock: What to know before Monday as bitcoin holds near $91,000 and CPI looms

New York, Jan 11, 2026, 19:14 (EST) — Market closed Nasdaq-listed IREN Limited edged up 0.7% to $46.03 on Friday and could face a new test when markets reopen on Monday, with bitcoin holding near $91,000 late Sunday. The timing matters because IREN has become a proxy for two trades that can turn fast: bitcoin and big-ticket AI infrastructure. Both are sensitive to shifts in rates, risk appetite and liquidity, and the calendar is packed. Top of that calendar is the U.S. consumer price index (CPI) report on Tuesday, the government’s main inflation gauge. Any surprise there can quickly reshape

IREN Limited stock: what Monday looks like after a $50 swing and bitcoin back near $90,000

New York, Jan 11, 2026, 18:13 EST — Market closed IREN Limited shares ended Friday up 0.7% at $46.03, swinging between a high near $50 and a low of $45.52 amid heavy volume in a choppy session. With U.S. markets closed Sunday, the stock is poised for a new test when trading picks up again Monday. The move is significant since IREN is caught up in two high-velocity trades simultaneously: bitcoin-linked miners and the expansion of power-hungry data centers for artificial intelligence. When either trend pivots, the stock reacts sharply—and not always predictably. That’s the scene as the week kicks

Coinbase stock heads into CPI week after COIN dips as bitcoin holds near $90,000

Coinbase stock heads into CPI week after COIN dips as bitcoin holds near $90,000

New York, Jan 11, 2026, 17:21 EST — Market closed. Shares of Coinbase Global (COIN.O) closed Friday down 1.9% at $240.78. Heading into Monday, investors are turning their attention away from company news and toward the upcoming U.S. data release. This matters because Coinbase often moves like a high-beta stand-in for crypto prices and risk appetite. When investors retreat from risk, trading volumes usually dip, and exchange stocks can reflect that shift almost immediately. Tuesday brings the first test with the U.S. Labor Department set to release December consumer prices at 8:30 a.m. ET. The CPI, a key measure of
