Is Crypto Making a Comeback? Bitcoin Breaks $96k, The CLARITY act and BitGo IPO Looms
$Bitcoin (BTC.CC)$ surge past $96,000 marks a significant technical breakout, while crypto-related equities are showing renewed strength. $Strategy (MSTR.US)$ led the charge with a 13% weekly gain.
BitGo Kicks Off the 2026 IPO Season
While Bitcoin grabs the headlines, BitGo, a digital wallet and custody giant, is set to go public next week (Jan 22, 2026) on the NYSE under the ticker BTGO $BitGo Holdings (BTGO.US)$ .
– The Valuation: BitGo is targeting a valuation of nearly $2 billion.
– The Financials: Unlike many cash-burning tech debuts, BitGo is profitable. They reported a net income of $156.6 million in 2024 and continued profitability through Q3 2025.
– The Business: They aren't just holding coins; they are expanding into institutional derivatives trading and banking, having received conditional approval from the OCC to convert into a nationally chartered bank.
The Catalyst: The CLARITY Act
Regulatory clarity is finally arriving. The CLARITY Act (Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025) is currently moving through the legislative process. This bill aims to end the turf war between the SEC and CFTC by classifying decentralized assets (like $Bitcoin (BTC.CC)$ and $Ethereum (ETH.CC)$ ) as Digital Commodities and providing a safe harbor for DeFi developers.
This legislation is transforming the crypto market from a chaotic gray zone into a regulated industry, paving the way for institutional capital to enter safely.
Options Corner
Strategy: The Bull Call Spread (Debit Spread)
Best for: Investors who believe the rally will continue but want to reduce the cost of entry.
With Implied Volatility elevated this week, option premiums are expensive. Buying a naked Call option requires a huge move just to break even. A Bull Call Spread solves this.
– How it works: You buy a Call option at a strike price slightly below or at the current price, and simultaneously sell a Call option at a higher strike price (with the same expiration) .
– The Logic: The premium you collect from selling the higher strike call helps offset the cost of the call you bought. This caps your potential profit, but it significantly lowers your break-even point.
Strategy 2: The Bull Put Spread (Credit Spread)
Best for: Investors who are neutral-to-bullish and want to generate income from the high volatility.
– How it works: You sell an Out-Of-The-Money (OTM) Put (below current price), and buy a further OTM Put (lower strike) as protection. By selling a Put Spread, you are essentially betting that the underlying asset will not crash below your strike price.
– The Logic: Because volatility is high, you receive a credit upfront. If the stock stays flat, rises, or even drops slightly (but stays above your short strike), you keep the full profit.

JennyOliam : can someone teach me how to trade
Vinni Amora JennyOliam : Trading is pretty easy once you learn market structure, support and resistance. The hard part is the self mastery of emotions required to make sound trading decisions. Learn some technical analysis and learn how to stay neutral emotionally when trading. Otherwise your emotions will take control of your trading and it’ll be more like gambling. I recommend a website called Babypips.com to get started with trading. It will teach you the basics and what everything means. Good luck stranger! (took me 8 years to learn)
