White House officials recently said crypto, including $BTC , could grow into a $20 trillion market.
That kind of long-term outlook is exactly why I focus less on short-term noise and more on steady accumulation. One thing that’s helped with that mindset is participating in trading competition events rather than chasing random trades.
Binance has been very active on this front, regularly running trading competitions and campaigns that reward consistent participation and good execution, not just high-risk bets. Those kinds of events make it easier to stay engaged with the market while stacking rewards over time.
At the same time, Phase 26 of the Bitget Trading Club Championship (TCC) just went live, and events like this have quietly changed my approach. I didn’t buy my way into BGB. By showing up across multiple TCC phases and managing trades on assets like $XRP , BTC, and ETH, I’ve grown my holdings to 800+ BGB purely from trading rewards.
What stands out this phase is flexibility. Being able to trade both Spot and Futures makes rewards more consistent. When one market slows, the other often keeps momentum.
If crypto really is heading toward that scale, stacking utility tokens through skill, discipline, and participation in well-structured trading events feels like a move worth making. Anyone else trading XRP this phase or mixing spot and futures?

Positioning Ahead of Big Bank Earnings
With Q4 earnings around the corner, I’ve been positioning $JPM and $BLK instead of watching from the sidelines. Earnings weeks usually bring volatility, and it’s interesting to see how more platforms are expanding access to traditional assets.
Binance has also been pushing in this direction by offering broader exposure to real-world assets and market-related products, making it easier for users to stay engaged with macro and equity narratives alongside crypto.
Personally, I’m trading $JPM and $BLK on Bitget Onchain, where onchain stock tokens allow me to stay flexible without jumping between multiple platforms
Pre-Earnings Outlook: JPM & BLK
JPMorgan
JPM reports before market open on Jan 13, with expectations around $4.93 EPS and $45.98B in revenue. Price is already near a 1-year high, and analysts have been quietly raising targets.
From my chart, JPM recently swept downside liquidity and bounced strongly. Price is now reacting around a fair value gap (FVG). This zone feels like a decision area: either continuation toward recent highs, or a pullback if earnings disappoint.
BlackRock
BLK’s earnings outlook looks steady, with projected $12.55 EPS and strong forward growth into 2026.
Technically, BLK has broken structure and is consolidating above prior resistance. The chart shows a clean range expansion setup, and if momentum holds, a move toward the $1,250 zone looks possible. Losing current levels could open the door for a deeper retrace toward previous support.
Conclusion
On the charts, JPM looks more reactive and earnings-sensitive, while BLK appears technically stronger and already priced for stability. I’m sizing positions carefully and letting price confirm direction post-earnings.
At the same time, Bitget’s Onchain 0-Fee Stock Race (Phase 10) is live, which adds an extra incentive while trading these setups. I’m treating the event as a bonus, not the reason for the trade, execution and risk management come first.
Curious how others are approaching JPM and BLK this earnings cycle: playing the breakout, or waiting for confirmation?

From a chart view, this move makes sense. $DASH reclaiming major moving averages usually pulls in momentum traders fast.
Holding above $46 is key for me. Lose it, and this could fade. Are you trading the breakout or waiting confirmation?

$DOLO going up 50% isn’t random. The $WLFI launch puts Dolomite directly into a high-profile DeFi narrative, and markets always react fast to political-linked catalysts.
That said, hype fades quicker than utility. I’m watching real usage, not headlines. Do you think this partnership creates lasting demand or just short-term excitement?

You don’t need to catch every $BTC move to win. You just need to protect your capital and stay consistent. The market will always give another opportunity.
Should be interesting, looking forward to it

Strategy’s biggest Bitcoin buy since July, is Saylor buying early ahead of the next rally?
Michael Saylor's Strategy Inc. acquired almost $1.25 billion in Bitcoin, marking the company's largest purchase of the digital asset since July.
In my personal opinion, this move looks a lot more intentional than random. Saylor doesn’t buy Bitcoin for headlines, he buys when conviction is high and patience is required. The fact that this is Strategy’s biggest $BTC buy since July tells me they’re positioning early, not chasing a breakout.
What stands out is timing. We’re in a phase where price looks boring, sentiment is mixed, and most traders are waiting for “confirmation.” That’s usually when long-term players step in. Saylor has always treated Bitcoin like a long-duration asset, not a short-term trade, so this feels less like front-running a pump and more like front-running time.
Could it spark a rally? Possibly. Big buys shift narrative before they shift price. Even if $BTC chops for weeks, this signals strong institutional confidence under the surface. For me, it reinforces the idea that smart money is accumulating quietly while retail waits for green candles. History shows who usually wins that game.

$XAU and $XAG have been on a strong run lately, and it’s hard not to notice the renewed buzz around precious metals. With inflation concerns and macro uncertainty back in focus, Gold is starting to move like a real momentum asset again.
It’s interesting to see major platforms leaning into this trend. Binance recently introduced Gold and Silver trading as well, which shows how much demand there is right now for easier access to metals.
Personally, I’m trading Gold on Bitget TradFi during in the ongoing phase 1 of their Gold Trading Competition, and what stood out to me was how simple it was to get started, instant account setup and entry sizes as low as 10 USDT. For anyone watching metals and looking for practical, low-friction ways to participate, it’s clear that both crypto-native and TradFi platforms are expanding options for users.

JUST IN: $XAU reaches all time high
Gold at $4,600 tells you one thing: money is moving into safe assets. When uncertainty rises, gold shines.

Michael Saylor recently said $BTC could become the largest asset in the world within the next 48 months, and he certainly seems confident about what’s coming.
With that kind of outlook, it makes sense to explore ways to diversify across markets. Bitget is leading in TradFi, launching its platform early in 2026 with 79 instruments, including gold, forex, commodities, and tokenized stocks like NVDAon , giving crypto traders new exposure without leaving the ecosystem.
Binance has also started exploring TradFi, though with only 2 instrument. It’s interesting to see how exchanges are approaching the space differently.
Which TradFi or tokenized stock are you most excited to explore this year?

What I like most is the chart. $MYX clearing the $5 zone feels decisive, with momentum indicators backing the move, not just hype.
As long as $5.20 holds, upside stays open. Losing it changes the story. How are you managing risk on this one?

$XAUt moving up makes sense to me. When gold rallies, tokenized gold follows, and right now people clearly want safety over speculation.
If gold stays strong, XAUt likely holds up too. Are you using it as a hedge, or just trading the short-term moves?

$IP Increased by 25% today, and this one feels technical-driven. Clearing $2.57 triggered liquidations and heavy bot buying, confirmed by massive volume expansion.
If price holds above $2.57, momentum stays alive. If not, pullbacks are normal. Are you riding this breakout or waiting for a retest?

$ETH bounce feels constructive, but not explosive. Whales are still selling while traders go long, which tells me this move needs confirmation, not blind excitement.
If price holds above $3,100, I stay optimistic. If not, patience wins. Are you trading this bounce or waiting for clearer direction?

Seeing steady Solana ETF inflows catches my attention. Even small institutional buys can move $SOL
fast, so this breakout above key levels feels structurally supported, not hype-driven.
Technicals and flows finally agree, which I like. The real test is holding gains, not pumping. Are you waiting for confirmation, or already positioned?

▶️ $XRP RIPPLE GETS UK APPROVAL
Ripple has secured two key FCA approvals in the UK: an Electronic Money Institution license and crypto registration. This lets Ripple expand its regulated payments services and support cross-border payments for institutions.

⚠ $BTC TRADERS TRAPPED:
Longs are piling up at $89K and shorts at $92K. One side is about to get squeezed, who will get liquidated first?

$BTC has been hovering around key levels, making it a good moment to explore ways to diversify beyond crypto.
Bitget has officially launched its TradeFi product, letting users trade traditional assets like $XAU alongside crypto. Managing multiple markets in one place makes trading simpler and more flexible, something I also appreciate on Binance, where TradFi, Spot and structured products help keep trading organized.
To add excitement, Bitget is running a Gold Trading Competition with a $88,888 prize pool, giving traders a structured way to explore this new market.
Anyone joining this competition? How are you approaching it so far?

$ETH has been showing renewed on-chain activity lately, with staking levels and network usage quietly trending higher again.
That backdrop makes the bigger exchange narrative interesting. Bitget is clearly setting the pace when it comes to bringing TradFi into crypto platforms, and 2026 is already starting strong for them. Instead of small experiments, the exchange rolled out TradFi under its broader UEX vision, integrating stocks, metals, forex, and commodities early on.
When one exchange moves first, others naturally respond. Binance beginning its own TradFi exploration shows how quickly this direction is becoming unavoidable. No major platform wants to be left behind.
What adds more weight is Gracy’ Chen's (Bitget's CEO) hint about what the exchange is building toward in 2026. If this is just the first phase, the next few months could reshape how traders interact with both crypto and traditional markets.

$XAU feels like a risk-off play quietly gaining traction. While memes pump and dump, this is building infrastructure and usability.
Holding above key averages looks strong, but volume is still light. Curious, are you holding XAU for safety or ignoring it completely?
