Here’s what happened in crypto today

Daily flows in US-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs. Source: SoSoValue The inflows came as Bitcoin reclaimed the $61,000 level after briefly falling below $59,000, with some investors, including Bitwise chief investment officer Matt Hougan, suggesting the market could be nearing a bottom. Crypto market sentiment on Friday was measured at an “extreme fear” reading by the Fear & Greed Index from Alternative.me. Tokenization platform Securitize rallied on its New York Stock Exchange debut on Thursday, as it brought tokenized versions of its shares to two blockchains. The company, which is backed by BlackRock and Morgan Stanley, began trading on the NYSE under the ticker SECZ on Thursday after merging with a Cantor Fitzgerald-backed special-purpose acquisition company to take it public. Securitize said Thursday that it simultaneously launched tokenized versions of its shares on the Avalanche and Solana blockchains, which will be available to eligible US investors on its platform. It marks the first time a newly public company has also offered tokenized stocks, an area of crypto technology that has quickly gained attention among major institutions drawn to the idea that it can bring deeper liquidity and longer trading hours. Securitize has carved out a lead in the tokenization space for institutions. It partnered with the NYSE in March to create tokenized assets for the exchange’s upcoming tokenized securities platform. FBI Director Kash Patel disclosed a stake in Bitcoin treasury company Strategy months after the federal reporting deadline, according to a report from NOTUS. Patel filed an amended financial disclosure on May 26, stating that his investment in Strategy, worth between $100,001 and $250,000, had been "inadvertently omitted" from his original filing. The purchase was made on Nov. 21, 2025, but was not disclosed within the 45-day window required under the STOCK Act, which mandates timely reporting of certain financial transactions by government officials. In the amended filing, Patel said "no current conflict exists" despite Strategy being a registered US government contractor. The STOCK Act carries relatively light penalties for first-time violations, with fines starting at $200, and has faced criticism for its limited enforcement. The disclosure comes as scrutiny of public officials' crypto-related financial interests intensifies. President Donald Trump's latest financial filing showed more than $1.4 billion in cryptocurrency-related income in 2025, while lawmakers have increasingly questioned whether existing ethics and disclosure rules are sufficient to address digital asset holdings.
