The three major U.S. stock indices weakened collectively this week: The Nasdaq fell 0.66% for the week, while crypto stocks rose broadly along with BTC.
Market performance: On Friday, January 16, 2026, U.S. stocks closed slightly lower. This week, due to PPI data exceeding expectations and signals of 'cautious rate cuts' from Federal Reserve officials, market sentiment leaned towards conservatism, with the Dow, S&P, and Nasdaq all recording weekly declines.
Independent performance in the crypto sector: Despite the pressure on the overall market, crypto concept stocks performed brilliantly, mainly benefiting from Bitcoin stabilizing above $95,000$ and subtle changes in regulatory aspects.
Figure (FIGR) surged 13.78%: It became the leader in the sector. The main driver was its recent breakthrough in the RWA (Real World Asset) tokenization field, with its loan issuance on the Solana chain hitting a new high and rumors circulating that it will be included in a certain innovative index on Nasdaq.
Gemini (GEMI) rose 4.59%: With the Winklevoss brothers' exchange officially obtaining operating licenses for prediction markets in multiple states in the U.S., the market is optimistic about its business growth prospects for 2026.
Strategy (MSTR) rose 1.64%: After BTC stabilized following a pullback, it attracted capital flows again. Although the 'premium rate' of MSTR shrank somewhat this week, institutional holding confidence remains solid.
Individual stock movements: SharpLink Gaming (SBET) surged 5.36%, benefiting from positive news about the integration of sports betting and crypto payments; while Kindly MD (NAKA) fell 5.56%, indicating that funds are flowing from small-cap medical/crypto crossover sectors to pure blockchain infrastructure stocks.
