CertiK Founder Ronghui Gu Appears at Davos: Anchoring IPO Goals, Advancing into the Institutional Market

CertiK founder Ronghui Gu announced at the 2026 World Economic Forum in Davos that the company is advancing its IPO plans, aiming to become the "first Web3 infrastructure stock." This signals both CertiK's corporate maturity and the Web3 industry's shift toward institutional adoption and standardization. Gu emphasized that a successful public listing would help mainstream markets better understand and adopt Web3 technology, reflecting recognition from traditional industries. CertiK has received significant strategic investment, including from YZi Labs (formerly Binance Labs), supporting its expansion into institutional markets. To meet growing institutional demand, CertiK launched Skynet Enterprise, a security platform offering real-time on-chain monitoring, risk visualization, and compliance-ready tools. The company is also integrating AI into its formal verification engine, Spoq, to enhance security scalability and efficiency—a approach validated at top academic conferences. Gu concluded that CertiK’s public market entry is a critical step for Web3's integration into the global financial system, marking the industry’s transition toward regulated, institution-friendly maturity.

Is Ethereum the ‘one common blockchain’? BlackRock CEO weighs in

The 2025 cycle marked a shift toward institutional crypto adoption, largely driven by the utility-driven Real World Asset (RWA) sector. BlackRock CEO Larry Fink endorsed tokenization as necessary and pointed to Ethereum as the natural platform for this shift, calling it the potential "one common blockchain." Ethereum dominates the RWA market with a 60% share of the $22.6 billion sector, significantly ahead of competitors like Binance Smart Chain. Key institutional products, such as BlackRock's $1.5 billion BUIDL token and JPMorgan's MONY token, are built on Ethereum. Furthermore, Ethereum's major upgrades have driven gas fees to multi-year lows (0.5 Gwei) while increasing on-chain activity and new wallet adoption, validating its institutional use case for cost-efficient tokenized assets.

Ethereum fundamentals diverge from its price – Is this a bottom signal?

Ethereum's fundamentals show strength despite its prolonged price decline since late 2025. The network hit a record 2.88 million daily transactions, though analytics firm Altcoin Vector noted 80% were low-quality "systematic noise." Positive developments include staking rate surpassing 30% and Ethereum dominating over 65% of the tokenized real-world asset market. Institutional demand also grew, with a 26% QoQ increase in ETH treasuries in Q4 2025. However, ETH price remains down 40% from its 2025 peak, struggling to hold $3k. Analysts suggest this divergence between weak price and strong fundamentals may signal a market bottom, similar to early 2023. Reclaiming $3,050 is crucial for a bullish outlook; failure could lead to a drop toward $2,600.

The Wolf Is Really Coming? Quantum Computing Threat to Bitcoin Is 'No Longer Theoretical', Analyst: 20-50% of Bitcoin Has 'Security Risks'

The threat of quantum computing to Bitcoin is accelerating from theoretical to practical, with analysts warning that 20-50% of Bitcoin’s supply—amounting to 4 to 10 million BTC—is vulnerable to quantum attacks. Coinbase’s research head David Duong highlighted that 32.7% of Bitcoin (6.51 million BTC) is at risk due to weak cryptographic practices, such as address reuse. Institutional investors are reacting: Jefferies’ Christopher Wood removed Bitcoin entirely from his portfolio, reallocating to gold, citing quantum computing as an existential risk to Bitcoin’s value proposition. Quantum computers could break Bitcoin’s elliptic curve digital signature algorithm (ECDSA), potentially exposing private keys. While current quantum systems are far from the estimated 13 million qubits needed to crack Bitcoin’s encryption, experts disagree on the timeline—some say 5 years, others 20-40 years. The Bitcoin community faces a governance dilemma: whether to preemptively destroy vulnerable coins or risk large-scale theft. Developers are proposing quantum-resistant upgrades, but implementation could take 5-10 years. Despite the concerns, some institutions like Harvard and Morgan Stanley continue to increase Bitcoin exposure, reflecting divergent risk assessments. The market is already pricing in these fears, with Bitcoin underperforming gold significantly.

Why Tokenization Took Center Stage at Davos 2026 and What It Signals for Crypto Investors

At the 2026 World Economic Forum in Davos, the crypto conversation shifted from price speculation to practical integration, with tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs) taking center stage. Valued at over $22 billion, tokenization is now seen as active financial infrastructure rather than an experiment. Discussions featured central bankers, major asset managers, and executives from firms like BlackRock and BNY Mellon, who confirmed moving beyond pilots to deploying tokenized assets at scale. Ethereum hosts over 65% of these assets. Regulatory clarity, including the US GENIUS Act, was cited as key to this growth. Stablecoins are increasingly used as settlement "plumbing." For investors, this signals a structural, less speculative growth phase, with tokenization projected to reach $2-16 trillion by 2030.

21Shares’ Dogecoin ETF launch lands as DOGE extends downtrend

21Shares launched a Dogecoin exchange-traded product (TDOG) in the US on January 22, providing regulated exposure to DOGE for traditional investors. Despite this institutional milestone, Dogecoin's price continued to decline, trading around $0.124—down 2% on the day and well below its October highs. The broader downtrend since late Q3 reflects persistent selling pressure and subdued speculative interest. Unlike Bitcoin or Ethereum ETFs, the Dogecoin product appears to be a long-term access vehicle rather than a short-term catalyst, with no immediate price impact. The divergence between growing infrastructure and falling prices suggests maturation rather than renewed momentum, indicating that institutional access alone is insufficient to boost demand without a broader shift in risk appetite.

BitGo IPO signals Wall Street’s growing appetite for crypto infrastructure

Crypto custody firm BitGo has raised $212.8 million in its U.S. IPO, marking the first major crypto-native public offering of 2026. Priced at $18 per share, above its marketed range, the company is valued at approximately $2.1 billion. The listing reflects a shift in investor interest from speculative trading toward regulated infrastructure providers that offer custody, settlement, and compliance services. BitGo’s steady revenue model, tied to assets under custody, aligns more closely with traditional fintech than volatile crypto markets. This IPO follows a trend from 2025, where over ten crypto infrastructure firms went public, signaling growing public market appetite for compliant, revenue-generating blockchain businesses. BitGo’s debut may set the tone for 2026, indicating that crypto infrastructure is moving closer to the financial mainstream.

BlackRock Powers Bitcoin Investment For US Insurance Company, Here’s How

BlackRock is enabling Bitcoin investment for US insurers by integrating Bitcoin-linked returns into fixed index annuities through a partnership with Delaware Life. Instead of direct BTC ownership, exposure is achieved via the iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) within BlackRock’s US Equity Balanced Risk 12% Index. This volatility-controlled framework limits downside risk while allowing policyholders to benefit from potential gains tied to Bitcoin and equity performance. The structure meets strict insurance risk requirements and regulatory standards, marking a significant step in Bitcoin’s adoption within conservative, long-term savings products.

Ondo partnership fuels Solana’s 2026 push into Wall Street capital

Ondo Finance's partnership with Solana is accelerating the network's push into institutional finance by launching over 200 tokenized assets. This collaboration builds on the growing Real-World Asset (RWA) sector, which saw 250% year-over-year growth in 2025 and has become a key bridge between DeFi and traditional finance. Solana enters 2026 with over $1 billion in RWA total value locked (TVL), $200 million of which comes from public equity assets, signaling strong Wall Street participation. Despite market volatility, SOL has maintained a price above $120 for 10 weeks and is outperforming many peers with a 4.5% gain since the start of 2026. The Ondo partnership reinforces Solana’s institutional adoption, driving ETF interest and positioning its 2026 growth cycle as conviction-driven.

Bitcoin consolidates as sentiment cracks again! Recovery to $100K IF…

In early January 2026, Bitcoin consolidated near key support levels amid ongoing macro anxiety, geopolitical risks, and tight liquidity. Despite negative sentiment and repeated sell-offs, BTC avoided a breakdown, stabilizing above long-term holder cost bases. Selling pressure eased modestly, allowing brief price recoveries—driven more by short-covering than new demand—though rallies stalled near the $90k range due to overhead supply. Corporate treasury inflows were sporadic and tactical, providing temporary support without driving sustained upward momentum. The Buy/Sell Pressure Delta remained negative, reflecting persistent distribution rather than structural collapse. Sentiment turned bearish again, likely due to unresolved supply overhang from 2025 rather than pure macro factors. For a bullish breakout, sustained demand and positive flow metrics are needed to absorb resistance and stabilize sentiment. Until then, Bitcoin remains range-bound, balancing between cautious institutional interest and broader market uncertainty.
