Bitcoin finally looks comfortable above $95K. After tagging multi month highs earlier this week, price has shifted from breakout mode to consolidation, holding levels that previously acted as hard resistance. Strong BTCÂ ETF inflows of more than $1.8 billion this week, the highest level since October, suggest institutions are still leaning in even as the broader market takes a breather.
Away from price action, traditional finance continues its quiet shift onchain, with State Street expanding tokenized funds, Interactive Brokers enabling stablecoin based brokerage funding, and Goldman Sachs increasing its focus on tokenization and stablecoins. Together, these moves show incumbents turning crypto plumbing into standard financial infrastructure, with the buildout continuing regardless of market sentiment.

Bitcoin consolidates near $95K after strong ETF driven rally
Bitcoin is consolidating near $95,000 after starting the year around $90K and running to nearly $98K this week. The asset has posted three straight daily closes above $95K, reinforcing bullish short term control. This move also places Bitcoin firmly above $93.5K, the 2025 yearly open and a level that capped price action for much of the past two months, strengthening the broader bullish structure.
ETF flows topped $1.8 billion this week, Bitcoin’s strongest inflow period since October, pointing to sustained institutional demand. Broader crypto price action is mixed, with total market cap down about 1% over the past 24 hours as traders weigh gains and renewed uncertainty around the US crypto market structure bill.
State Street, IBKR, and Goldman Sachs push deeper into crypto rails
State Street is expanding its digital asset push with plans to launch tokenized money market funds, ETFs, and cash products. Interactive Brokers will now allow clients to fund brokerage accounts using USDC, enabling round the clock trading and faster settlement. The integration runs through Zerohash, converting USDC deposits into dollars once received across Ethereum, Solana, or Base.
Momentum is also building at the largest banks. Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon said the firm is dedicating significant resources to tokenization, stablecoins, and prediction markets as it evaluates how new market structures intersect with core businesses. The message is consistent. Crypto rails are becoming financial infrastructure
