According to ChainCatcher, MSCI has proposed excluding companies with digital assets comprising 50% or more of their total assets from its global investable market indices. The final decision is expected on January 15, 2026, with changes potentially taking effect in February. Analysts predict this move could compel 39 publicly traded companies to sell between $10 billion and $15 billion in crypto assets to maintain eligibility. These companies have a combined market capitalization of approximately $113 billion, with Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) accounting for 74.5% of the affected value. JPMorgan estimates that Strategy alone might face $2.8 billion in outflows from MSCI-related funds. To avoid exclusion, some companies may proactively reduce their crypto holdings below 50%, potentially triggering market sell-offs and increased Bitcoin volatility. Over 1,268 individuals have signed a petition opposing the proposal, criticizing it for unfairly targeting digital assets.

According to BlockBeats, Christopher Aaron, chief analyst and founder of iGold Advisor, has identified a significant fourth turning point in the Dow-Gold ratio. This signal suggests that gold is poised for several years of sustained growth, while holders of industrial stocks like the Dow Jones and S&P 500 may face prolonged losses. The Dow-Gold ratio measures the number of ounces of gold required to purchase one share of each of the 30 Dow Jones component stocks. Historically, during the previous three key turning points (1930–1933, 1968–1980, 2002–2011), the Dow has fallen by an average of 90.5% relative to gold over 9.3 years. Aaron also noted that this fourth turning point in the Dow-Gold ratio could be the most critical trend break in their historical performance, with the Dow's decline relative to gold potentially exceeding the average of the previous three cycles.
