The “debasement trade” was one of 2025’s hottest themes, but Bloomberg analyst E. Balchunas says it’s a long-term play that requires patience, investors shouldn't expect Bitcoin to surge immediately. $DUSK $XVG

💥WARREN WANTS TO STOP BITCOIN FROM ENTERING 401(k)
Sen. Elizabeth Warren just sent a letter (Jan 12, 2026) to SEC Chair Paul Atkins insisting adding #Bitcoin to 401(k)s will not "lead to better outcomes overall." $BTC
She argues it could set everyday workers up to “lose big,” especially after recent market drawdowns. $DOLO
This fits Warren’s long-running skepticism on crypto (including past letters with Sen. Bernie Sanders), pointing to weak investor protections and concerns about political conflicts of interest. $XVG
On the flip side, Bitcoin supporters argue the long-term performance has been historic, delivering average annual returns of over 200% since 2010, outpacing stock market benchmarks -- even if the short-term volatility (like the sharp drop from late-2025 highs) is exactly what makes it controversial for conservative retirement portfolios.

🚨RIPPLE PRESSES SEC TO LOCK IN XRP'S POST-LAWSUIT STATUS $DOLO
In a powerful 9-page letter, Ripple is pushing a "lifespan of the obligation" framework: $KAITO
✅Securities law applies ONLY during the primary sale (when there's real privity & enforceable promises)
✅Once that relationship ends? → $XRP trades freely as a commodity on mature exchanges
✅No more "zombie promises" haunting secondary buyers forever
This isn't just theory - it's Ripple turning their courtroom defense into federal policy, right as Congress & the new SEC under Paul Atkins are rewriting the entire crypto rulebook in early 2026.
If adopted, XRP (and many similar tokens) could finally trade without the SEC's shadow permanently hanging over them.
