Columbia Professor Exposes the 'Conspiracy of Giants Going On-Chain': Beware the 'Suit Simps' Selling Out Crypto's Future

In his article, Columbia Business School professor Omid Malekan expresses skepticism toward the recent embrace of tokenization by major traditional finance (TradFi) firms—including DTCC, SWIFT, Visa, Stripe, and PayPal. While these companies publicly promote blockchain's benefits—such as real-time payments, 24/7 settlement, and programmability—they largely ignore the existential threat that permissionless, decentralized networks pose to their core business models. Malekan argues that truly decentralized systems like Ethereum fundamentally challenge the centralized control these institutions rely on. For example, DTCC’s tokenization efforts avoid addressing how direct on-chain issuance could eliminate the need for centralized clearinghouses. Similarly, stablecoins threaten SWIFT’s cross-border messaging monopoly and Visa’s card-based payment model. Although these firms see growth opportunities in blockchain—such as new fee structures or expanded services—they face an innovator’s dilemma: their legacy businesses must be disrupted for crypto’s full potential to materialize. Malekan warns that these companies, driven by risk aversion and entrenched interests, may push for regulatory capture and compromise core crypto values like permissionless access and censorship resistance. He highlights concerning trends: JPMorgan limiting tokenized assets to accredited investors, DTCC favoring permissioned “enterprise chains,” and Stripe supporting a initially permissioned blockchain. Malekan cautions against “suit simps” in crypto—those who compromise decentralization to appease traditional finance—and urges the industry to avoid diluting its foundational innovations as TradFi adopts blockchain technology.

SEC confirms years-long director bans for former Alameda, FTX executives

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has obtained final consent judgments against former Alameda Research CEO Caroline Ellison and former FTX executives Gary Wang and Nishad Singh. They are barred from holding company leadership roles for eight to 10 years due to their involvement in misusing FTX investor funds from 2019 to 2022. Ellison received a 10-year ban, while Wang and Singh each accepted eight-year bans. All three are also subject to five-year conduct-based injunctions. The SEC alleged that, with Ellison's knowledge, FTX co-founder Sam Bankman-Fried and the other executives exempted Alameda from risk measures and provided it with an unlimited line of credit using FTX customer funds. Ellison, who testified against Bankman-Fried, was sentenced to two years in prison and is scheduled for early release on February 20. Wang and Singh also cooperated with authorities and received time-served sentences. Bankman-Fried was sentenced to 25 years for his central role in the exchange’s collapse.

Pro-crypto US Senator Lummis won't seek reelection in 2026

U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming, a prominent pro-crypto advocate in Congress, announced she will not seek reelection in 2026. First elected in 2021, Lummis became known for her strong support of Bitcoin and blockchain policy, aligning with former President Trump’s crypto agenda. She cited exhaustion and the demanding nature of the role as reasons for her decision. Lummis has been instrumental in advancing digital asset market structure legislation, which passed the House but remains pending in Senate committees. Her current term ends in 2027.

Blockchain Association says no to expanding stablecoin yield prohibition

The Blockchain Association, along with over 125 crypto industry groups, has written to the US Senate Committee on Banking opposing a proposed expansion of the ban on offering yield rewards to stablecoin holders. The letter argues that extending the prohibition—originally targeting stablecoin issuers under the GENIUS Act to include third-party platforms—would stifle innovation, increase market concentration, and unfairly disadvantage crypto services compared to traditional financial providers like banks and credit card companies that offer similar rewards. The Association contends that stablecoin rewards help consumers offset inflation and are a standard feature of competitive markets. It also challenges banking industry claims that yield-bearing stablecoins threaten bank lending, stating there is no evidence to support such concerns. Additionally, the letter comes as the FDIC proposes rules allowing banks to issue stablecoins through subsidiaries, subject to reserve requirements and regulatory oversight.

Crypto Biz: Bank stablecoins get a rulebook; Bitcoin gets a land grab

Washington is advancing regulatory clarity for bank-issued stablecoins, with the FDIC proposing a framework under the GENIUS Act. This outlines how insured banks can seek approval to issue payment stablecoins via subsidiaries, subject to public consultation. Meanwhile, corporate Bitcoin accumulation continues, as American Bitcoin surpasses ProCap, now holding over 5,000 BTC. Anchorage Digital expands its institutional services by acquiring Securitize’s advisory platform. Bhutan, a major national Bitcoin holder, plans to use part of its 11,000 BTC reserves to fund the Gelephu Mindfulness City project, balancing economic development with long-term capital preservation.

Cardano Enters New Phase, Hoskinson Touts ‘ChatGPT For Privacy’

Charles Hoskinson announced that Cardano is entering a new phase centered on Midnight, a project he describes as a "ChatGPT for privacy." Midnight is positioned as a cross-ecosystem application layer designed to make advanced cryptography usable at scale, enabling privacy-first hybrid applications that can integrate with Ethereum, Solana, Bitcoin, and other chains. Hoskinson emphasized that Midnight is not merely a privacy coin but a platform for selective disclosure, intents, dual tokenomics, and multi-resource consensus, targeting real-world applications capable of handling trillions in transactions. He highlighted Midnight's early traction, citing a $1 billion market cap and $1.8 billion trading volume, attributing this success to a fair distribution model that allocated tokens to 1.5 million users rather than venture capitalists. Hoskinson argued that Cardano can differentiate itself by prioritizing privacy-enabled financial primitives like private DEXs and prediction markets, rather than competing solely on transaction cost. He outlined plans to roll out Midnight across major ecosystems in 2026, aiming to unify crypto markets and eliminate the distinction between DeFi and TradFi.

Bitcoin: How did BTC react to U.S. inflation cooling down?

Bitcoin's Q4 2025 performance defied expectations, declining 23% and erasing most of its gains from the previous two quarters. This led to shaken optimism, liquidated leveraged traders, and increased fear, with dip-buying activity remaining subdued. Despite this, analyst Tom Lee maintains his projection for a new all-time high before the first month of 2026. A key catalyst is the cooling U.S. inflation, with core CPI dropping to 2.6% and overall CPI at 2.7%, bringing it near the Fed's 2% target. This macro development sparked a positive market reaction, with BTC jumping nearly 3% intraday and institutions showing renewed interest. With the Q4 sell-off and major FUD behind it, Bitcoin appears to be forming a base for a strong Q1 rally, historically its second most bullish period.

Galaxy predicts stablecoins will overtake ACH transaction volume in 2026

Galaxy Research forecasts that stablecoins will surpass the U.S. Automated Clearing House (ACH) system in transaction volume by 2026, driven by regulatory clarity and increasing adoption. Stablecoins already exceed major credit card networks like Visa and currently process about half of ACH volumes. The stablecoin market, valued at around $309 billion, is dominated by USDT and USDC, but new entrants like Western Union, Sony Bank, and SoFi are launching their own dollar-pegged stablecoins. Galaxy also predicts Bitcoin could reach $250,000 by late 2027, with potential new all-time highs in 2026. The report highlights the GENIUS Act’s expected implementation in early 2026 as a key growth catalyst.

Ethereum’s network growth explodes in December — but price still lags

Ethereum experienced a significant surge in network growth in December, marked by two major spikes in new wallet creation — nearly 197,380 on December 2 and over 195,460 on December 15. This indicates strong user adoption and growing interest, which often precedes price increase. However, ETH’s price remained stagnant, trading in a narrow range between $2,800 and $3,300 with low volatility and weak trend momentum. Despite this, holder sentiment improved from negative to neutral-positive, suggesting reduced fear and easing selling pressure. The combination of accelerating network expansion, stabilizing sentiment, and consistent support around $2,860–$2,900 may be forming a higher-low structure, potentially setting the stage for a future bullish breakout if demand continues to outpace supply.
