The co-founder and head of research at Fundstrat Global Advisors says Bitcoin (BTC) needs to crash out a bit harder before bouncing back in a big way. In a new interview with CNBC, Tom Lee makes his case for why he thinks BTC will be a top-performing asset this year after it falls a bit further. “Bitcoin is down roughly 15% from its highs, which for a hyper-volatile asset is a normal correction and follows global liquidity trends. We are early in the halving cycle.” According to Lee, Fundstrat’s crypto technicians think the crypto king may drop another $20,000 in…
Wall Street is still betting on interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve this year, even as inflation persists and fiscal policy remains a guessing game under Mr.President Donald Trump.

This means that developers will be working on a slew of integrations. Hoskinson has stated that he has already booked…
Stuart Alderoty, Ripple’s Chief Legal Officer, has expressed optimism that the future leadership of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) could shift the trajectory of the company’s ongoing legal battle. Specifically, he hopes that Paul Atkins, nominated by Donald Trump to lead the SEC, might take a more lenient stance towards crypto companies, possibly dismissing enforcement actions based solely on registration issues rather than fraud. In a January 28 discussion for XRP Community Day 2025, Alderoty acknowledged the SEC’s bureaucratic nature and expressed his hope that under Atkins, the commission might focus on fraud-related cases. “Litigation, regulation by enforcement,…
