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%.

SLV stock slides after-hours as silver price cools from record highs — what traders watch next

New York, January 15, 2026, 17:05 EST — Trading in after-hours. After hitting another record high, silver prices pulled back, dragging down shares of iShares Silver Trust, the ETF that holds silver and trades like a stock, in after-hours trading on Thursday. That’s crucial since silver has morphed into a volatile macro play this January, reacting sharply to swings in the dollar and interest-rate outlooks instead of company news. Those same factors can jolt silver-related funds and miners quickly. Silver straddles two roles: a safe-haven asset and an industrial metal powering electronics and solar panels. The two narratives don’t always

Gold price dips from record highs as GLD stock slides after hours on stronger dollar

New York, January 15, 2026, 17:04 EST — After-hours trading. SPDR Gold Shares dipped in after-hours trading Thursday, following a slight drop in gold prices as a robust U.S. jobs report boosted the dollar. GLD, the largest gold-backed ETF, fell 0.6% to $423.33. This shift is significant, given bullion’s recent rally. Investors have been turning to gold as a safe haven amid political turmoil and rate uncertainty. Yet, the latest data and headlines put that theory to a mild test this week. Spot gold dipped 0.1% to $4,614.93 an ounce in U.S. afternoon trading, after touching a record high of

Morgan Stanley stock jumps nearly 6% after earnings beat as deal fees rebound

NEW YORK, Jan 15, 2026, 17:03 (EST) — After-hours Morgan Stanley (MS.N) shares climbed 5.8% on Thursday, closing at $191.23 in after-hours trading following a fourth-quarter profit that exceeded Wall Street’s expectations. The beat matters now as major U.S. banks push to prove that the long-anticipated surge in dealmaking is translating into actual fees, not merely optimistic chatter. Morgan Stanley, which relies heavily on mergers-and-acquisitions (M&A) advisory and underwriting—handling new stock and bond sales for clients—sees this trend reflected quickly in its results. The move comes amid a jittery start to the year. Investors have rapidly sold off bank shares

Strategy Inc stock drops as Senate crypto bill delay hits bitcoin — what investors watch next

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
