Bitcoin Price Rallies in January as ETF inflows signal demand shift
Bitcoin’s price climbed back above $97,000 this week, supported by a sustained return of capital into US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds, data and market watchers say, suggesting a structural shift in demand after months of sideways trading. Since the start of the year, US spot Bitcoin (BTC) ETFs have collectively attracted nearly $1.5 billion in net inflows, according to data cited by Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas. That total reflects a multi-day stretch of positive creation activity amid renewed interest from larger allocators, following a period of muted ETF flows…
Bitcoin Rally Reflects Buyer Conviction On Coinbase Spot Markets, Bull Run Back On?
The recent Bitcoin rally may be driven by real spot demand on Coinbase. Data indicating elevated spot activity on Coinbase suggests that this move higher is bolstered by direct purchases rather than leveraged positioning in derivatives markets. This distinction matters because Spot buying reflects a real capital commitment, not a temporary bet. Why Risk Management When Demand Is Structural The Bitcoin rally since Sunday’s Powell subpoena news has been largely linked to Coinbase spot buyers. Crypto trader Alex Krüger has highlighted on X that both the Adjusted Coinbase Premium and…

Grok faces bans… but 8 lawsuits claim ChatGPT use can kill: AI Eye
ChatGPT use can kill (allegedly) The recent controversy over Grok generating sexualized deepfakes of real people in bikinis has seen the bot blocked in Malaysia and banned in Indonesia. The UK has also threatened to ban X entirely, rather than just Grok, and various countries, including Australia, Brazil and France have also expressed outrage. But politicians don’t seem anywhere near as fussed that Grok competitor ChatGPT has been implicated in numerous deaths, or that a million people each week chat with the bot about “potential suicidal planning or intent,” according…
United Kingdom Considering Under‑16 Social Media Ban
The United Kingdom is considering new restrictions that could bar children under 16 from using mainstream social media platforms. The discussion builds on the Online Safety Act, which already requires services with minimum age limits to explain how they enforce them and to use “highly effective” age assurance measures where children are at risk of harmful content. Prime Minister Keir Starmer said he is monitoring how Australia’s under‑16 ban works in practice and is “open” to an Australian‑style approach, despite previously expressing personal reservations about a blanket ban for teenagers.…
Bitcoin Is Back At $96K, Hitting The Same Sell Ceiling Again
Bitcoin’s early-2026 bounce has pushed back into a familiar problem area: a dense pocket of overhead supply that Glassnode says has repeatedly capped rallies since November. In its latest Week On-chain report, the analytics firm frames the move above $96,000 as constructive on the surface, but still largely dependent on derivatives positioning and liquidity conditions rather than persistent spot accumulation. Glassnode’s central argument is that Bitcoin has rallied straight into a historically significant band of long-term holder (LTH) cost basis, built during April to July 2025 and associated with sustained…
AI Is Moving Faster in Crypto Trading but Humans Remain in Charge
Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming embedded across crypto trading, accelerating analysis, execution and optimization processes previously handled by people. Investors and trading companies are being pushed to confront how much decision-making can be automated without diluting control, accountability or human judgment. Even as some projects are reaching for more autonomous trading systems, most AI tools in crypto remain tightly constrained. Humans still define strategies, set risk limits and take responsibility for outcomes, as machines take on much of the bandwidth used for data-heavy tasks, such as research and monitoring. Across…
Russia Drafts Bill That Could Change Who Can Buy Crypto
They say journalists never truly clock out. But for Christian, that’s not just a metaphor, it’s a lifestyle. By day, he navigates the ever-shifting tides of the cryptocurrency market, wielding words like a seasoned editor and crafting articles that decipher the jargon for the masses. When the PC goes on hibernate mode, however, his pursuits take a more mechanical (and sometimes philosophical) turn. Christian’s journey with the written word began long before the age of Bitcoin. In the hallowed halls of academia, he honed his craft as a feature writer…
