Bitcoin price today: BTC jumps 4% toward $97,000 as CPI steadies and crypto rules near a vote

Bitcoin price today: BTC jumps 4% toward $97,000 as CPI steadies and crypto rules near a vote

New York, Jan 14, 2026, 10:07 EST — Regular session Bitcoin climbed 4.4% to $96,384 in early U.S. trading Wednesday, retreating from an intraday peak around $96,729 after dipping to a low of $92,204. This shift is significant as bitcoin has started behaving like a high-beta risk asset once more. Since rates remain the key driver, even minor changes in inflation narratives can swiftly pull funds into or away from crypto. U.S. consumer prices increased 0.3% in December and climbed 2.7% compared with the previous year, Labor Department data revealed. Core inflation, excluding food and energy, edged up 0.2% monthly

Citi to cut 1,000 jobs as BlackRock trims 250 in latest Wall Street layoffs

New York, Jan 13, 2026, 21:40 EST Citigroup (C) plans to slash roughly 1,000 positions this week, according to a source who spoke to Reuters. CEO Jane Fraser continues to push for cost reductions and improved returns at the bank. (Reuters) Timing is key. As big financial firms approach earnings, investors remain fixated on expense lines, not just top-line revenue, following years of ramped-up spending on controls and systems. BlackRock (BLK), the world’s largest asset manager, announced plans to cut roughly 250 jobs, about 1% of its global staff, calling it a routine move to boost efficiency. CEO and co-founder

BlackRock’s 2026 playbook: AI still leads, but cash income fades and diversification returns

BlackRock’s 2026 playbook: AI still leads, but cash income fades and diversification returns

NEW YORK, Jan 11, 2026, 04:17 EST BlackRock sees the AI-driven bull market stretching into 2026 but advises moving away from broad “AI-only” plays toward more targeted investments and reliable income streams, according to recent media comments. Kristy Akullian, head of iShares investment strategy for the Americas at BlackRock, told Yahoo Finance on Jan. 9 that AI is “no longer the only game in town.” The message comes as investors begin the year holding significant cash reserves, just as policy rates decline. In a Jan. 7 outlook, BlackRock pointed out that money-market yields are already dropping and flagged this as

Bitcoin price clings to $90,000 after ETF outflows as crypto stocks brace for Monday

Bitcoin price clings to $90,000 after ETF outflows as crypto stocks brace for Monday

New York, Jan 10, 2026, 12:44 EST — Market closed Bitcoin dipped closer to $90,000 on Saturday, continuing a volatile retreat following two days of heavy outflows from U.S.-listed spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds, a crucial indicator of institutional appetite. The moves matter as crypto enters a fresh week facing both a macro challenge and a positioning hurdle. Investors have been quick to withdraw cash from bitcoin funds, even while interest-rate traders weigh U.S. labor data that bolstered bets on the Fed maintaining a cautious stance on further cuts. Bitcoin last checked in at $90,542, slipping roughly 0.6% from its previous

Under Armour stock drops 6% as BlackRock reveals 10.6% stake in UAA

Under Armour stock drops 6% as BlackRock reveals 10.6% stake in UAA

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 13:03 ET — Regular session Under Armour’s voting Class A shares (UAA) sank roughly 6% on Friday after a disclosure showed BlackRock owned more than a tenth of the sportswear maker. The stock was off 6.1% at $5.64 by midday, after moving in a range of $6.10 to $5.61. The timing is awkward for Under Armour. The company is in reset mode, and the stock has started getting jumpy again. Big ownership updates can squeeze the “tradable” float — shares that actually change hands day to day — and that can make price swings sharper.

Bitcoin price today: BTC steadies near $90,000 as Coinbase, Strategy stocks slide on Fed-rate rethink

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 10:12 (EST) — Regular session Bitcoin was down 0.3% at $90,016 early Friday in the U.S., trading as low as $89,641 and topping out at $91,384. Ether lost 0.4% to $3,076. Shares of Coinbase slipped 2.7%. Strategy, the bitcoin-treasury firm, tumbled 4.9%, a steeper drop than the cryptocurrency itself. This pause is in focus as traders weigh the Fed’s next move following new U.S. numbers. Bitcoin’s fortunes often mirror shifts in risk appetite—and with no yield to offer, it tends to stall whenever rate expectations tilt toward higher-for-longer. Flows aren’t helping either.

XRP price holds near $2 after first spot ETF outflows; U.S. jobs data next

New York, January 9, 2026, 06:31 (EST) — Premarket XRP edged higher on Friday morning, hovering near $2.10 as the market digested the first net outflows from U.S.-listed spot XRP exchange-traded funds and braced for the U.S. jobs report later in the day. (CoinMarketCap) That matters because ETF flows have become a quick read on whether institutions are adding to positions or taking money off the table. For XRP, a run of uninterrupted inflows had been a rare steady tailwind in a market that often turns on a dime. (CoinMarketCap) The timing is awkward. The U.S. Labor Department is set

NEW YORK, Jan 8, 2026, 17:13 EST — After-hours Bitcoin was last up 0.2% at $91,142 on Thursday, after sliding as low as $89,312 earlier in the session, and U.S.-listed crypto stocks finished mixed in extended trading. Strategy was up 3.2%, while Coinbase slipped 0.1%; miners Marathon Digital and Riot Platforms rose 3.7% and fell 1.0%, respectively. The market is trying to price two moving parts at once: whether bitcoin-treasury stocks stay anchored in major indexes and whether the ETF bid is still there. MSCI shelved a plan to exclude so-called digital asset treasury companies — operating firms that hold
