Gen Z Americans may be open to paying for dates with cryptocurrency, but most still aren’t putting digital coins where their hearts are, according to a January Pollfish survey commissioned by crypto exchange OKX. 

The poll of 1,000 US adults found that 13% of Gen Z respondents said they have paid for a date using crypto, while many who haven’t said the main issue is practical: they don’t have a direct way to pay with crypto. 

Interest extended beyond payments. 31% of Gen Z respondents said receiving crypto as a Valentine’s Day gift would be appealing, and 76% said financial literacy is an attractive trait in a partner, a reminder that for some daters, “knowing your numbers” can be more charming than knowing your zodiac sign.

Still, ownership appears to be a limiting factor. OKX told Cointelegraph that 29.5% of respondents said they currently own or previously owned crypto assets, suggesting that curiosity about crypto doesn’t automatically translate into daily use.

Gen Z flirts with crypto

The gap between “open to it” and “actually did it” points to a familiar hurdle for crypto: in many everyday settings, it’s still easier to tap a card than to pay directly with a wallet.

The survey also found that two-thirds of respondents said financial literacy plays well in the dating marketplace, with Gen Z (76%) and Millennials (75%) showing the strongest support.

Familiarity with digital finance tools also carried weight. Between 52% and 55% of respondents said knowledge of digital assets, such as cryptocurrencies and digital wallets, can make someone more attractive as a potential partner. 

But only 17% of respondents overall said holding digital assets makes someone more attractive, including 30% of millennials and 28% of Gen Z. The findings indicate that for younger cohorts, digital asset awareness is increasingly viewed as part of broader financial competence.

Romance scams kill the mood

Crypto has also shown up in dating headlines for less romantic reasons. In 2024, the US Federal Trade Commission issued a consumer alert over rising crypto-related romance scams. Canadian authorities issued similar warnings, as crypto scammers flooded dating apps.

The rise of artificial intelligence also heightened the risks of romance scams in crypto. In 2025, scammers have increasingly used chatbots and deepfakes to manipulate victims emotionally and financially. 

Perception has also been mixed. While the OKX survey showed that some are attracted to crypto, a survey by the Date Psychology blog in 2024 found that women ranked crypto among the least attractive male hobbies.

The American Bankers Association (ABA) is urging the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) to slow its approval of national trust bank charters for crypto and stablecoin firms until the regulatory landscape under the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins (GENIUS) Act is clearer. 

In a Wednesday comment letter on the OCC’s National Bank Chartering notice of proposed rulemaking, the trade group warned that recent and future applicants engaged in stablecoin and digital asset activities face still‑unsettled oversight from multiple federal and state regulators. 

The ABA said that the OCC should not advance applications where an institution’s full regulatory obligations, including under forthcoming GENIUS Act rulemakings, are not yet fully defined.

​The association warned that uninsured, digital asset‑focused national trusts raise unresolved safety and soundness, operational and resolution issues, particularly around the segregation of customer assets, conflicts of interest and cybersecurity. 

It also cautioned that national trust charters could be used to avoid registration and scrutiny by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) or Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) when firms engage in activities that would otherwise trigger securities or derivatives regulation.

The ABA urged the OCC to be “patient,” resist applying traditional timing expectations to these applications, and ensure each charter applicant’s regulatory responsibilities “come fully into view” before moving applications forward. 

​The association further called for greater transparency around how the OCC calibrates capital, operational and resilience standards in conditional approvals for crypto‑related charters, and pressed the agency to tighten naming rules so that limited‑purpose trust banks that are not engaged in the business of banking cannot use “bank” in their names. 

That, it argued, would reduce the risk of consumer confusion about the status and safety of obligations at uninsured entities.

​Warning after new crypto trust charters

The intervention comes less than two months after the OCC granted conditional national trust bank approvals to five crypto firms: Bitgo Bank & Trust, Fidelity Digital Assets, Ripple National Trust Bank, First National Digital Currency Bank, and Paxos Trust Company.

On Dec. 12, 2025, the OCC greenlighted a path for these companies to hold and manage customer digital assets under a federal charter while remaining outside the deposit-taking and lending business. 

The same banking lobby is also pressing Congress, through pending crypto market structure legislation such as the Digital Asset Market Clarity (CLARITY) Act, to curb stablecoin rewards, contending that yield‑bearing stablecoins and affiliate “rewards” programs would function as bank‑like products without being subject to the full bank regulatory regime.

Binance completed the $1 billion Bitcoin conversion for its emergency fund, committing to holding Bitcoin as its core reserve asset.

Binance purchased another $304 million worth of Bitcoin (BTC) on Thursday, completing the conversion of $1 billion in Bitcoin for its Secure Asset Fund for Users (SAFU) wallet, according to Arkham data.

The fund now holds 15,000 Bitcoin, worth over $1 billion, acquired at an average aggregate cost basis of $67,000 per coin, Binance said in a Thursday X post.

 “With SAFU Fund now fully in Bitcoin, we reinforce our belief in BTC as the premier long-term reserve asset.”

The last tranche of BTC came three days after Binance’s previous $300 million acquisition on Monday.

The exchange first announced it would convert its $1 billion user protection fund into Bitcoin on Jan. 30, initially pledging a 30-day window for the acquisitions, which were completed in less than two weeks.

The exchange said it would rebalance the fund if volatility pushes its value below $800 million.

Crypto investor sentiment plunges to lowest levels on record

The conversion comes as broader market sentiment remains deeply negative.

Sentiment took another hit following Bitcoin’s brief correction below $60,000 on Feb. 5, plunging to five on Thursday — the lowest reading on record — signaling extreme fear among investors, according to data from alternative.me.

The industry’s leading traders by returns, tracked as “smart money,” are also hedging for more crypto market downside.

Smart money traders were net short on Bitcoin for a cumulative $105 million, and net short on most of the leading cryptocurrencies except the Avalanche (AVAX) token, which saw $10.5 million in net cumulative long positioning, according to crypto intelligence platform Nansen.

Bitcoin’s correction also took a significant supply of tokens at a loss equaling to 16% of Bitcoin’s market cap, marking the highest pain point seen in markets since the implosion of algorithmic stablecoin issuer Terra in May 2022, wrote Glassnode in a Monday X post.

Yet in a silver lining to the correction, the market structure is showing early signs of stabilization, according to Dessislava Ianeva, dispatch analyst at digital asset platform Nexo.

“Derivative positioning remains cautious. Funding rates are neutral to slightly negative, reflecting subdued leverage demand, while open interest in native BTC terms has returned to early-February levels, suggesting stabilization rather than a renewed expansion phase,” the analyst told Cointelegraph.

ARK Invest, the investment firm led by Bitcoin bull Cathie Wood, snapped up a significant batch of crypto-linked stocks on Wednesday as BTC briefly dipped below $66,000.

ARK purchased 433,806 shares of Robinhood (HOOD) for approximately $33.8 million, according to a trade notification reviewed by Cointelegraph.

The asset manager also boosted its exposure to crypto exchange Bullish (BLSH) and USDC (USDC) issuer Circle (CRCL), acquiring 364,134 shares valued at $11.6 million and 75,559 shares worth $4.4 million, respectively.

The purchases came as all three stocks traded lower on the day, with Robinhood shares sliding nearly 9%, according to TradingView data.

ARK withheld from buying more Coinbase (COIN) shares after dumping $17 million of the stock last week.

Robinhood becomes top crypto holding in ARK’s flagship fund

ARK’s latest Robinhood acquisition coincided with the company’s official testnet launch of the Robinhood Chain, a permissionless layer 2 (L2) blockchain built for financial services and tokenized real-world assets (RWAs).

Earlier this week, Robinhood reported record net revenue of nearly $1.28 billion for the fourth quarter of 2025. While revenue surged 27% year over year, it fell short of Wall Street expectations of $1.34 billion, sending the stock down about 8%.

As of Feb. 11, Robinhood stands as the largest crypto-linked position in ARK’s flagship ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK), accounting for roughly 4.1% of the portfolio, or about $248 million, according to the fund’s data.

Spot Bitcoin ETFs mirror BTC weakness as inflows stall

Broader market weakness has spilled over into US spot Bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which failed to sustain momentum after a three-day inflow streak.

According to SoSoValue data, Bitcoin ETFs recorded $276.3 million in net outflows on Wednesday, nearly wiping out weekly gains, which now stand at just $35.3 million. Total assets under management declined to $85.7 billion, the lowest level since early November 2024.

Ether (ETH) ETFs also posted losses, with daily outflows totaling $129.2 million. XRP (XRP) funds saw no inflows, while Solana (SOL) ETFs recorded modest inflows of roughly $0.5 million.

At the time of publication, Bitcoin was trading at $67,227, up 0.4% over the past 24 hours, according to CoinGecko.

The latest pullback comes after analysts had pointed to a potential inflection point in crypto investment products following three consecutive weeks of outflows totaling more than $3 billion.

Bitcoin treasury company Strategy will further lean on its preferred stock sales to acquire Bitcoin, shifting from its strategy of selling common stock, says CEO Phong Le.

“We will start to transition from equity capital to preferred capital,” Le told Bloomberg’s “The Close” on Wednesday.

Stretch (STRC) is Strategy’s perpetual preferred stock, launched in July, and is aimed at buyers looking for stability by offering an annual dividend of over 11%. 

STRC is the company’s fourth perpetual preferred offering, launched to finance its Bitcoin (BTC) purchases. It’s an alternative to issuing new shares that dilute its stock price.

Le admitted that its preferred stock will “take some seasoning” and marketing to pitch traders on the offering, but added that “throughout the course of this year, we expect Stretch to be a big product for us.”

Strategy could restart offerings as STRC hits $100

STRC reclaimed its par value of $100 at the close of trading on Wednesday for the first time since mid-January, which Le said was the “story of the day.”

The stock had dipped below $94 earlier this month as Bitcoin crashed under $60,000, but with it now trading at par — the price Strategy has designated as its minimum — the company could again offer shares to fund more Bitcoin purchases.

Bitcoin has traded mostly flat over the last 24 hours at around $66,800, down from an intraday high of over $68,000.

Buying Bitcoin treasury rivals a “distraction”

Analysts have warned that the crypto treasury space is becoming crowded as companies compete for a small segment of traders, leading to some companies' crypto holdings being worth more than the companies themselves.

In that case, some analysts said that rival treasury firms could move to acquire underperforming companies to scoop up Bitcoin on the cheap, but Le said Strategy isn’t interested in making such a move.

“I think in any new market, whether it be electric cars or AI or SaaS software, you want to focus on your core product,” Le said. “I think it would be a distraction to go buy, at a discount to net asset value, another digital asset treasury company.”

Shares in Strategy (MSTR) ended trading on Wednesday down over 5% at $126.14.

Fundstrat head of research Tom Lee said he expects Ether to rebound quickly following recent declines, arguing the asset has experienced eight such recoveries since 2018.

“A lot of people are frustrated, but keep in mind that Ethereum, since 2018, has fallen more than 50% eight times,” said Lee at a conference in Hong Kong on Wednesday. 

Last year, Ethereum fell 64% from January to March, he added. 

“But eight out of eight times, Ethereum has had a V-shaped bottom. So it has recovered 100% of the time within almost the same speed that it fell.” 

He argued that nothing has changed and that Ether (ETH) will see another V-shaped bottom.

ETH is close to the bottom, says Lee

BitMine market analyst Tom DeMark flagged the $1,890 price level as a potential bottom but said it would tap this twice in an “undercut.” Lee stated that this would be a “perfected bottom,” adding: 

“We think Ethereum is really close to the bottom, and I think it's just like the fall of 2018, fall of 2022, and April 2025. You don’t really have to worry about the bottom. If you’ve already seen a decline, you should be thinking about opportunities here instead of selling.”

Ether prices tanked to $1,760 on Coinbase on Feb. 6, short of dropping below the 2025 low of just over $1,400, according to TradingView.

The asset has failed to hold above $2,000, falling to $1,970 at the time of writing following a 37% crash over the past 30 days. 

Ether staking entry wait at all-time high

Despite the asset’s poor performance this year, data shows there is still strong demand for Ether staking. 

The current wait to stake Ether is at an all-time high of 71 days with a record 4 million ETH in the validator entry queue, according to ValidatorQueue. The percentage of supply staked is also at a record high of 30.3% or 36.7 million ETH. 

The obvious impact of this is a “massive supply restriction,” said analyst “Milk Road” on Wednesday.  

“One-third of all ETH is now illiquid, earning a modest 2.83% APR,” they added. “That’s not sexy yield by crypto standards. Yet people are lining up anyway.” 

“When people lock up $74 billion during a price dip, they're not speculating. They're settling in.”

Peer-to-peer kriptovalūtu apmaiņa Paxful ir saņēmusi pavēli samaksāt 4 miljonus ASV dolāru, pēc tam, kad atzina, ka apzināti guva peļņu no noziedzniekiem, kuri izmantoja kriptovalūtu platformu tās naudas atmazgāšanas pārbaudes trūkuma dēļ.

Tieslietu departaments trešdien paziņoja, ka Paxful tika notiesāts samaksāt sodu pēc tam, kad decembrī atzina sevi par vainīgu sazvērestībā veicināt nelikumīgu prostitūciju, apzināti pārskaitot līdzekļus, kas iegūti no noziegumiem, un pārkāpjot naudas atmazgāšanas prasības.

“Paxful guva peļņu no naudas pārvietošanas noziedzniekiem, kurus piesaistīja, izsludinot savu naudas atmazgāšanas kontroles trūkumu un nespēju izpildīt piemērojamos naudas atmazgāšanas likumus, visu laiku zinot, ka šie noziedznieki nodarbojas ar krāpšanu, izspiešanu, prostitūciju un komerciālu seksa tirdzniecību,” sacīja Endrjū Tīzens Duva, Tieslietu departamenta Kriminālās nodaļas asistējošais ģenerālprokurors.

Ondo Finance paziņoja, ka tās Ondo Global Markets platforma ir integrējusi Chainlink kā savu oficiālo datu orākulu, ļaujot cenu plūsmām tokenizētajiem ASV akcijām, tostarp SPYon, QQQon un TSLAon, kļūt aktīvām uz Ethereum.

Saskaņā ar Ondo ziņu trešdien, plūsmas tagad tiek izmantotas Euler, kur lietotāji var ievietot tokenizētās akcijas kā nodrošinājumu, lai aizņemtos stabilcoins.

Integrācija nodrošina onchain cenu datus tokenizētajiem aktīviem, ļaujot decentralizētās finanšu (DeFi) protokoliem noteikt nodrošinājuma parametrus un pārvaldīt likvidācijas, pamatojoties uz atsauces cenām, kas saistītas ar pamataktīviem. Plūsmas iekļauj korporatīvos pasākumus, piemēram, dividendes, ļaujot lietotnēm atsaukties uz atjauninātām akciju vērtībām.

Bitcoin (BTC) cena samazinājās līdz $65,800 trešdien, atkāpjoties zem galvenajām intradienas tendences līnijām un radot bažas, ka pagājušās nedēļas kritums līdz $60,000 varētu nebūt pēdējais dibens. Tagad analītiķi saka, ka iespēja, ka notiks vēl viens kritums līdz gada zemākajai vērtībai ($59,800), pieaug, ņemot vērā pieaugošo likviditātes atstarpi starp $66,000 un $60,000.

Galvenie secinājumi:

Bitcoin ir izveidojis sēriju ar zemākiem maksimumiem pēc atkārtotiem noraidījumiem netālu no $70,000–$72,000 pretestības zonas.
