Bitcoin climbs past $80K for the first time since January

Bitcoin climbed above $80,000 for the first time since Jan. 31, 2026, rising 2.7% in a few hours as Asian markets opened and regional equities hit new highs, signaling improved risk sentiment. Other major tokens including Ether, XRP, and BNB also gained, while U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs continued to see strong inflows, pointing to steady institutional demand. The move follows building policy momentum in Washington around crypto legislation and comes as the market watches for a potential announcement on a U.S. Bitcoin Reserve, with some analysts eyeing a possible path back toward $100,000.

GameStop makes $55.5B offer to buy eBay in surprise takeover bid

GameStop has made a surprise, unsolicited $55.5 billion cash-and-stock bid to acquire eBay, offering $125 per share and disclosing it has built an approximately 5% economic stake through derivatives and stock. The company says CEO Ryan Cohen would lead the combined business and claims the deal could generate about $2 billion in annual cost savings, while leveraging GameStop’s 1,600 U.S. stores to support eBay logistics and authentication. The proposal also raises questions about financing and execution given eBay’s much larger market value and GameStop’s ongoing push beyond its legacy retail model, including its Bitcoin treasury strategy.

CFTC sees mixed responses to prediction market rulemaking

The CFTC received more than 1,500 public comments on its proposed rule to clarify and potentially expand how it regulates “event contracts” on prediction markets, revealing a sharp divide over how aggressively the platforms should be policed. Prediction market and crypto firms like Kalshi and Polymarket, along with Andreessen Horowitz, urged the agency to reinforce its exclusive federal jurisdiction and provide guidance that allows markets to continue operating despite state lawsuits. In contrast, several state gambling regulators and consumer advocates called for a tougher stance—arguing sports contracts resemble unlicensed sportsbooks and urging bans on election and geopolitical markets over manipulation and insider-trading concerns.

BTC price can ‘easily’ hit $95K: Five things to know in Bitcoin this week

Bitcoin reclaimed $80,000 for the first time in three months, setting a new local high near $80,617 and posting its strongest weekly close since late January. Analysts point to strong US spot Bitcoin ETF inflows and improving technical structure, with one trader arguing BTC could “easily” reach $92,000–$95,000 without breaking the broader trend and potentially kickstart a new bull phase.

Not everyone is convinced, though: some see a bear-flag setup that could fail and drag BTC back toward $60,000, while others say the recent breakout invalidates the bearish pattern. Macro uncertainty also looms as the Fed appears less inclined to cut rates amid inflation worries tied to the ongoing US-Iran conflict, while oil markets show signs of a potential reversal. Onchain data adds to the bullish case, with Bitcoin’s MVRV ratio rising to about 1.45—suggesting improving investor profitability and a strengthening uptrend.
