Bernstein stated that although Robinhood's stock price experienced short-term pressure due to declining crypto revenue, the firm believes this is merely a temporary "crypto market sentiment fluctuation" and maintains its $160 price target and "outperform" rating, representing approximately 87% upside from the recent closing price. The analyst also emphasized that the rapid growth of its prediction market business will drive Robinhood's rise; data shows this business already accounts for approximately 14% of Robinhood's transactional revenue and approximately 8% of its total revenue. The platform's prediction market trading volume reached 8.5 billion contracts in the fourth quarter, exceeding previous expectations, and the volume is projected to reach 4 billion contracts by early 2026, with a full-year forecast of 27 billion contracts.

Executives from Franklin Templeton, SWIFT, and Ledger stated that tokenized money market funds and digital bank deposits are moving from the pilot phase to the early stages of financial infrastructure, potentially enabling the banking system to operate 24/7, natively on-chain. Chetan Karkhanis, Head of Digital Assets at Franklin Templeton, stated that the company is focusing on tokenizing money market funds, achieving 24/7 liquidity and reducing operating costs by 5 to 15 basis points by natively issuing fund units on-chain and supporting access from self-custodied wallets or exchanges. However, institutional adoption is still in its early stages. Industry data shows that the current on-chain stablecoin market is approximately $300 billion, and tokenized US Treasury bonds and other RWAs are around $40 billion, still a relatively small percentage compared to the global wealth exceeding $200 trillion.

Bearish sentiment dominated the crypto market, with Bitcoin and Ethereum continuing their decline. In the past 24 hours, Bitcoin fell approximately 2.4% to around $66,900, while Ethereum fell approximately 2.7%, breaking below the $2,000 mark. On the macro front, a weakening dollar and declining US Treasury yields fueled market expectations of a Federal Reserve rate cut. Polymarket data showed the probability of a March rate cut rising from 7% at the beginning of the month to approximately 19%, while Kalshi market data indicated around 21%. In the derivatives market, BTC futures open interest fell to $15.6 billion, indicating a continued deleveraging trend. Funding rates turned negative further (Binance approximately -6%, Bybit approximately -0.5%), and the three-month basis narrowed to 1.6%, reflecting a rapid cooling of institutional risk appetite.
