Bloomberg commodity strategist Mike McGlone explains his bearish turn on Bitcoin outlook and broader market expectations for 2026. Bloomberg Intelligence strategist Mike McGlone said he has reversed his long-term outlook on Bitcoin and the broader crypto market, arguing that investors should “sell the rallies” across risk assets in 2026.

In response, Paradex temporarily disabled access to the platform, canceled all open orders except take-profit and stop-loss orders, and rolled…

BitGo Stock Slides After IPO as Crypto Listing Volatility Returns

Shares of digital asset custodian BitGo Holdings (BTG) have swung sharply since the company’s public debut on the New York Stock Exchange on Thursday, with early gains quickly reversing as initial IPO enthusiasm cooled and investors moved to lock in profits. BitGo priced its initial public offering at $18 a share and it jumped about 25% in its first day of trading, reflecting strong early demand. While the stock closed only modestly higher in its first full session, the rally proved short-lived. Shares have since fallen below their IPO price,…
