Crypto Market Update: Robinhood Shares Fall on Lower Quarterly Crypto Revenue

Here’s a quick recap of the crypto landscape for Wednesday (February 11) as of 9:00 p.m. UTC.

Get the latest insights on Bitcoin, Ether and altcoins, along with a round-up of key cryptocurrency market news.

Bitcoin (BTC) was priced at US$67,551.42, down 18 percent over the last 24 hours.

Bitcoin price performance, February 11, 2026.

Chart via TradingView.

“Bitcoin appears to be entering a stabilization phase before its next directional move. In the near term, prices are likely to consolidate around the US$70,000 level as the market digests recent volatility and continued profit-taking, but the broader setup points to a gradual recovery toward the US$85,000 to US$95,000 range by mid-2026.

“The key driver is institutional behavior: ETF outflows are slowing rather than accelerating, suggesting that forced selling pressure is easing and longer-term allocators are becoming more selective instead of exiting outright. At the same time, regulatory progress — particularly around stablecoin frameworks and clearer market structure — continues to strengthen Bitcoin’s position as a maturing asset within global portfolios, especially as investors look for inflation hedges amid ongoing macro uncertainty.

“While short-term price action may remain uneven, innovation across DeFi and tokenized assets is reinforcing the underlying crypto ecosystem, creating conditions that have historically supported post-correction recoveries and attracted long-term capital back into Bitcoin.”

Ether (ETH) was priced at US$1,955.33, down by 2.8 percent over the last 24 hours.

Altcoin price update

  • XRP (XRP) was priced at US$1.38, down by 1.2 percent over 24 hours.
  • Solana (SOL) was trading at US$79.64, down by 3.5 percent over 24 hours.

Today’s crypto news to know

Robinhood shares Q4 earnings

Robinhood Markets (NASDAQ:HOOD) released its latest quarterly report on Wednesday, revealing net income totaling US$605 million for Q4 2025 and US$1.9 billion for the year.

The company reported a record US$1.28 billion in quarterly revenue, a 27 percent increase year-on-year, but shy of estimates of about US$1.36 billion. Its full‑year 2025 revenue reached US$4.5 billion, up 52 percent.

However, crypto revenue fell 38 percent to US$221 million in Q4.

Despite a fundamentally solid quarter, with record earnings per share of US$0.66 in Q4 and US$2.05 for 2025, shares dropped between 7 and 12 percent after the print and closed 9 percent lower on the day.

In other news, Robinhood launched a public testnet for Robinhood Chain, an Ethereum Layer 2 built on Arbitrum technology and designed to support tokenized real‑world and digital assets.

Developers can begin building and testing apps on it ahead of a future mainnet launch. The testnet offers network access, developer docs and compatibility with standard Ethereum tools, plus early support from infrastructure providers such as Alchemy, Chainlink and LayerZero. Robinhood also said it is committing US$1 million to the 2026 Arbitrum Open House program to encourage developer activity on the testnet and eventual mainnet.

Banks dig in on stablecoin yield as CLARITY Act stalls

US banks are hardening their position on stablecoin rules, escalating a policy clash that has left the long-awaited CLARITY Act stuck in Congress. During a White House-hosted meeting led by the administration’s crypto council, banking groups circulated a proposal calling for an outright ban on paying interest or other incentives to stablecoin holders.

The draft language states: “No person may provide any form of financial or non-financial consideration to a stablecoin holder” in connection with holding or using a payment stablecoin.

Banking groups warned that allowing yield on stablecoins could “drive deposit flight that would undercut Main Street lending,” while crypto advocates argued innovation should not be stifled. The dispute centers on whether stablecoin rewards resemble bank deposits, potentially siphoning funds from traditional lenders.

‘As we noted during the meeting, that framework can and must embrace financial innovation without undermining safety and soundness, and without putting the bank deposits that fuel local lending and drive economic activity at risk. We look forward to ongoing discussions to move market structure legislation forward,’ the American Bankers Association said in a statement following the meeting.

The standoff has become the main obstacle preventing the CLARITY Act from advancing, despite earlier passage of the GENIUS Act, which created a federal framework for dollar-backed stablecoins.

Goldman Sachs maintains US$1 billion Bitcoin ETF exposure

Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) disclosed in its latest US Securities and Exchange Commission filing that it holds just over US$1 billion in exposure to Bitcoin through exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

The exposure is split across products, including BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (NASDAQ:IBIT) and Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin ETF (NEO:FBTC). Bitcoin has dropped roughly 47 percent from its high and is trading near US$67,000, part of a broader US$2 trillion drawdown across the crypto market. ETF flows have been volatile, with more than US$6 billion exiting spot Bitcoin funds since November, according to industry data.

Despite the slump, Goldman has also expanded into Ether, XRP and Solana ETFs.

Monad launches Nitro accelerator

Blockchain company Monad announced Tuesday (February 10) launch of a new three month accelerator program, Nitro, supported by notable firms including Paradigm, Electric Capital, Dragonfly and Castle Island Ventures.

According to commentary provided in a media briefing accompanying the announcement, “The program is designed to address a common issue in crypto venture funding: teams often raise capital quickly but struggle to ship production-ready products or reach product-market fit. Nitro is structured around execution, shipping cadence, and validation, rather than short-term growth metrics or token-driven incentives.”

The press release notes that the Monad ecosystem has already seen US$108 million raised by projects.

The three month program includes an in-person first month in New York City, and will be followed by two months of focused execution, concluding with a Demo Day for crypto and tech investors.

Interactive Brokers adds Coinbase nano contracts

Interactive Brokers said it is adding “nano contracts’ from Coinbase Global’s (NASDAQ:COIN) derivatives arm to its trading platform. These contracts control fractions of a Bitcoin or Ether coin and require less upfront investment.

Clients can trade these futures, some with set expiry dates and others that track the current price over time, 24/7 within Interactive Brokers’ standard brokerage environment, alongside stocks and options.

The move is meant to make it easier and cheaper for people to get exposure to crypto prices and manage risk, while still using a regulated broker and exchange.

Tartisan Nickel: Working Towards a Feasibility Study and Production Decision at the Kenbridge Nickel Deposit

Tartisan Nickel (CSE:TN,OTCQX:TTSRF,FSE: 8TA) is a Canadian exploration and development company focused on advancing high-quality critical mineral assets in Ontario. Its flagship asset, the Kenbridge nickel project in Northwestern Ontario, is an advanced-stage nickel sulphide deposit containing nickel, copper and cobalt.

Management’s strategy for Kenbridge is clear and execution-driven: expand and upgrade the resource through drilling, extend potential mine life, and continue systematically de-risking the project.

Tartisan Nickel has been engaging with Treaty # 3 First Nations since May 2007.

At the same time, Tartisan holds the Sill Lake silver project, a past-producing silver-lead property near Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. Supported by strong fundamentals for nickel, copper and silver, management positions Tartisan as a multi-asset story—providing investors with exposure to several value drivers within a single platform.

Company Highlights

  • Clear focus on drilling-driven value creation, with active programs designed to upgrade inferred resources, expand the deposit at depth, and extend mine life into the mid-teens
  • Low-capex development profile relative to many peer nickel projects, supported by a historic shaft, road access, and established infrastructure
  • Sill Lake Silver Project provides additional, underappreciated value, offering exposure to silver through a brownfields, past-producing asset with a defined historic resource
  • Experienced leadership team with deep capital markets and mine development experience, focused on disciplined capital allocation and unlocking value from opportunity-acquired assets

This Tartisan Nickel profile is part of a paid investor education campaign.*

Retail operator of outdoor sportswear pioneer Eddie Bauer files for bankruptcy

The operator of roughly 180 Eddie Bauer stores across the U.S. and Canada has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, blaming declining sales and a litany of other industry headwinds.

The bankruptcy filing marks the third time in a little over two decades for the storied-but-now-tired brand that began as a Seattle fishing shop, later outfitted the first American to climb Mount Everest and made thousands of newfangled down jackets and sleeping bags for the military during World War II.

Eddie Bauer LLC said Monday it had entered into a restructuring pact with its secured lenders as it made the filing in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey.

Most Eddie Bauer retail and outlet stores in the U.S. and Canada will remain open as the company winds down certain locations. It noted that it will conduct a court-supervised sales process, and if a sale can’t be executed, it will begin a wind-down of its U.S. and Canadian operations.

“This is not an easy decision,” said Marc Rosen, CEO of Catalyst Brands, which maintains the license to operate Eddie Bauer stores in the U.S. and Canada. “However, this restructuring is the best way to optimize value for the retail company’s stakeholders and also ensure Catalyst Brands remains profitable and with strong liquidity and cash flow.”

Eddie Bauer’s stores outside of the U.S. and Canada are operated by other licensees, are not included in the Chapter 11 filings, and will stay open, according to the release.

Authentic Brands Group continues to own the intellectual property associated with the Eddie Bauer brand and may license the brand to other operators, the company said. The operations of other brands in the Catalyst Brands portfolio are not affected by this filing and will continue in the normal course, according to the company.

Eddie Bauer’s e-commerce and wholesale operations will also not be impacted by the wind down, as they are operated by a company called Outdoor 5, LLC. That was a transition it made in January and became effective Feb. 2.

Eddie Bauer joins a growing list of U.S. retailers this year that are closing stores, as companies reorganize under bankruptcy protection or pare down their operations to focus on the most profitable businesses.

The parent company of Saks Fifth Avenue said last month that it was seeking bankruptcy protection, buffeted by rising competition and the massive debt it took on to buy its rival in the luxury sector, Neiman Marcus, just over a year ago. A few days later, the parent company said it was closing most of its Saks Off 5th stores.

Amazon said earlier this month that it was closing almost all of its Amazon Go and Amazon Fresh locations within days as it narrows its focus on food delivery and its grocery chain, Whole Foods Market.

Eddie Bauer’s namesake founder — an avid outdoorsman — started the company in Seattle in 1920 as Bauer’s Sports Shop, according to the brand’s website. In 1945, after making more than 50,000 jackets for the military, it launched a mail-order catalog.

“Bauer’s Sports Shop was not just a place where people purchased clothing and gear, it was a community hub where folks gathered to share their wisdom, learn, and talk about their experiences in the outdoors,” the website says.

The company created an American goose-down insulated jacket, known as the “Skyliner,” in 1936, and it became the company’s first patented jacket. It also outfitted the first American to climb Mount Everest — James W. Whittaker — with an Eddie Bauer parka in 1963.

After Bauer retired in 1968 and sold the business to his partner, the outdoor brand shifted more toward casual apparel and was bought by General Mills Inc. in 1971 and then by Spiegel Inc. in 1988. After Spiegel filed for bankruptcy in 2003 and most of its assets were sold, the remainder of the company was reorganized in 2005 as Eddie Bauer Holdings Inc.

In June 2009, Eddie Bauer filed bankruptcy and was acquired by Golden State Capital, the following month. In 2021, it was acquired by Authentic Brands and SPARC Group LLC.

A year ago, Catalyst was formed by the merger of SPARC and JCPenney, which Simon Property Group and fellow mall landlord Brookfield bought out of bankruptcy.

Rosen noted that even prior to the inception of Catalyst Brands last year, Eddie Bauer was in a “challenged situation.”

“Over the past year, these challenges have been exacerbated by various headwinds, including increased costs of doing business due to inflation, ongoing tariff uncertainty, and other factors,” he said.

He noted that while Catalyst’s leadership was able to make improvements in product development and marketing, those changes could not be implemented fast enough to fully address the problems created over several years.

Eddie Bauer had nearly 600 stores at its peak in 2001, according to CoStar Group Inc., a commercial real estate data firm.

In a note published earlier this month, Neil Saunders, managing director of GlobalData Retail, wrote that while the Eddie Bauer name is “well known,” the brand hasn’t kept pace with rivals like Swedish outdoor brand Fjallraven and Canadian label Arc’teryx. He also cited issues with quality deteriorating, which, for an outdoor brand measured by the performance of its products, is very problematic.

“And for many younger shoppers, the brand is seen as somewhat old-fashioned and a bit irrelevant,” he said.

Olympic hockey gold medal winners: Complete list of every men’s champion

NHL players are back at the Winter Olympics for the first time since 2014, and Canada and its loaded roster of hockey stars are the gold medal frontrunners.

Team USA also has a strong roster and could compete with Canada if things go right. It’s led by captain Auston Matthews and assuredly wants another shot at the Canadians after losing an overtime heartbreaker, 3-2, in the 4-Nations Face-Off final last February.

Here’s a look at every gold medal winner in the history of Winter Olympics hockey:

Plumbing. Coaching. How USA snowboarder made it to Winter Olympics

  • Maddy Schaffrick, 31, has returned to professional snowboarding after a decade-long hiatus that included coaching and plumbing.
  • She is now teammates with several athletes she previously coached, including Chloe Kim and Maddie Mastro.
  • Schaffrick overcame numerous injuries and a period of burnout to make the U.S. Ski and Snowboard team.
  • Her teammates and coaches praise her positive energy and inspiring comeback story.

LIVIGNO, Italy – Maddy Schaffrick asked to pause the interview. Not for any selfish reason. Quite the opposite, actually.

She was trying something. The 31-year-old wanted to be present and watch teammate Chase Josey execute his run in the men’s halfpipe finals of the 2026 Aspen Grand Prix in January. Maybe it was the former coach in her, too, that was keen on keeping a watchful eye on Josey as he flipped and turned around the U-ditch.  

“Let’s go! Yeah dude!” Schaffrick yelled, eventually hugging Josey at the bottom of the run once he was done. “So sick! Oh yeah!”

Schaffrick turned around.   

“Where were we?”

Great question. It’s one Schaffrick has asked herself over the past decade or so, but in the present tense. Where am I? And the answer could have been anywhere from the operating table – countless knee surgeries – to a plumbing job – the career she temporarily turned to after snowboarding didn’t love her back, and she grew to hate it – to the top of a halfpipe, where she fell back in love with the sport as a coach. She was part of the U.S. Ski and Snowboard staff for the 2022 Winter Games in China.

And four years later, Schaffrick is on that very team, alongside two riders she coached – Chloe Kim and Maddie Mastro – and the up-and-coming Bea Kim.

“I feel like Maddy is the vibes on our team,” Chloe Kim said. “She always has the biggest smile on her face, such good energy, so positive, and I think that’s so special to have. So, I’m really grateful that she’s here with us because she always brightens our day.”

Kim and Schaffrick were teammates when Kim first arrived on the pro team. For her, it’s even more exciting to have Schaffrick by her side.

“And now we’re here,” Kim said from a dais ahead of the women’s halfpipe qualification (Wednesday Feb. 11, 4:30 a.m. ET). 

“It’s been really fun to compete with Maddy and have her as a teammate,” Mastro said. “I feel like it’s built our relationship to a fun, new friendship level, which has been great. And I look forward to building it more.”

Mastro added: “You’ve been fun to hang out with.”

“Back at you,” Schaffrick shot back.

‘A totally new person’

Schaffrick, 31, competed in her first World Cup more than 15 years ago. For somebody who has been in the snowboarding world for so long, there is an element of freshness in everything she’s done.

“In some ways, I’m in the same place,” said Mastro, who has battled deep depression and even had suicidal thoughts. “But I feel like a totally new person. This does feel new. And I’m approaching things so much differently than I used to.”

Bea Kim, a member of a legitimately different generation than Schaffrick, is often left speechless by her teammate and former coach.  

“I’m blown away … not only just (to) come back, but to be able to put down runs to be on the U.S. team, to make the Olympic team, to make finals, to be on podiums has – I’m very inspired by just watching her do that and I think it just shows how capable women are of everything that they’re doing,” Kim told USA TODAY Sports. “Age is just a number.

“Not that she’s old or anything like that.”

At times, Schaffrick wishes the coaching part of herself influenced her riding more.

“Honestly, it’s sometimes hard because I’ll watch my videos or get real analytical with my own riding,” she said, “and it just makes me frustrated because it’s so much easier said than done. And I’m like ‘Why don’t I just ride through the lip? Why am I going early? Gah!’ 

“So I’ve had to kind of learn to turn off the coach side and be compassionate with myself and have some fun. But also, yeah, click in when I need to. It’s funny. That coach side hasn’t helped at all.”

Schaffrick would not describe herself as coachable in her youth.

“For real,” she said. “I was the worst.”

U.S. Snowboard director Rick Bower was her pro coach from ages 16 to 20, the peak burnout and disappointing years of Schaffrick’s life, “during my glory days of being a little (expletive).”

“In many ways, making this team is even harder than the Olympics themselves,” Bower said in a statement announcing the team. “The depth of our field is incredible and selection truly came down to the wire. These athletes pushed each other all season and every spot was earned.”

Being present for family – and self

At that Aspen Grand Prix, where she took second to essentially lock up her spot in Italy, Schaffrick had many of her cousins in attendance. As an only child, her cousins are like her siblings. They hadn’t seen her compete in nearly a decade and a half.

She spoke with her sports psychologist about the pressure that came with that. They talked about wanting to do well in front of them.

“What you can lean into is wanting to show them what you do well,” the therapist said.

“It was about me really leaning into ‘OK, what do I feel like I do well?’” Schaffrick said.

That would be going big. Looking smooth. Trying to add style.

“When I am leaning into that aspect of my snowboarding, it’s so much fun. I have a lot of fun. Opposed to just forcing things,” she said.

The contingent brought the energy for her to unlock that.

Schaffrick dislocated her shoulder during her second finals run at the Copper Mountain Grand Prix in December. The next event was in Aspen and the first day of practice consisted of her “faking it until I made it,” she said.  

“That instability or pain, awareness of my brace restricting me, that really held me back,” Schaffrick admitted in Italy. “When I dropped into the rest of my body and felt that confidence, it didn’t hold me back.”

“I feel like what’s helped me here is going to help me there,” she said in Aspen. “It’s just about being present.”

And what a gift that is for Schaffrick. 

Additional reporting for this story took place in Aspen, Colorado.

Wemby goes off in Spurs’ rout of Lakers

San Antonio Spurs All-Star center Victor Wembanyama went off against the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday, Feb. 10 at Crypto.com Arena in downtown Los Angeles.

Wembanyama dropped a Spurs-record 37 points in the first half of a 136-108 blowout against the Lakers, who were without five starters — Luka Doncic (hamstring), Austin Reaves (left calf), LeBron James (foot), Marcus Smart (right ankle) and Deandre Ayton (knee).

During the first half, Wembanyama shot an efficient 12-of-17 from the field, including three made 3-pointers. In addition, he pulled down eight rebounds.

Wembanyama’s 37 points are the most in any half of a regular-season game by a Spurs player in the play-by-play era (since the 1997-98 season). Wemby got off to a hot start, scoring 25 points in the first quarter, missing just one shot on 8-of-9 shooting.

Victor Wembanyama sits out most of second half

Wembanyama added a 3-pointer in the third quarter with 4:34 remaining to give himself 40 points. Shortly thereafter, he was subbed out of the game with the Spurs holding a commanding 100-68 lead.

It’s his sixth career 40-point game and his second of the 2025-26 regular season. Wembanyama scored 40 during the Spurs’ season-opener against the Dallas Mavericks.

Wembanyama’s career-high is 50 points, which he eclipsed on Nov. 13, 2024 against the Washington Wizards.

Highlights: Victor Wembanyama nets Spurs’ record

Victor Wembanyama stats vs. Lakers

  • Points: 40
  • FG: 13-for-20 (4-for-6 from 3-point line)
  • Free Throws: 10-for-12
  • Rebounds: 12
  • Assists: 2
  • Steals: 2
  • Blocks: 1

Luka Doncic, Dirk Nowitzki-backed group purchased Italian hoops team

The NBA announced in January that the league has expansion plans, in partnership with FIBA, to introduce a new league in Europe as early as 2027. It has already began to draw interest from investors who want in on the new league.

An investment group backed by Los Angeles Lakers superstar Luka Doncic and basketball Hall of Famer Dirk Nowitzki have plans to buy an Italian basketball team with hopes of joining the NBA-European league, according to The Athletic.

NBA Senior Vice President and Head of International Strategy Leah MacNab said the proposed European league will be made up of a 16 teams with 10 to 12 permanent teams and at least four rotational spots similar to other European sport leagues.

‘It is a very European system,’ said MacNab. ‘We want to introduce a merit-based pathway into the league so that even teams in lower leagues can have the opportunity to play at the highest level of competition.’

MacNab added that the concept is still a ways away. Nevertheless, the goal is to expand the basketball market which has already gone global.

The league’s potential rotation of teams would allow teams from other continents a chance to compete to qualify for the unnamed NBA-European league.

It also gives players the opportunity to play on the largest stage and gain exposure that could help them to one day land in the NBA.

US women’s hockey stakes claim to Olympic gold after rout of Canada

MILAN, Italy — The women’s hockey tournament at the 2026 Winter Olympics ended nine days early.

Well, for all intents and purposes it did.

The gold medals will end up around the necks of the players on the US women’s hockey team, unless something catastrophic happens. That became clear when the Americans throttled Canada, 5-0, Tuesday, Feb. 10 in the final preliminary game.

Oh, Canada. That was terrible.

The fifth US goal prompted Canada to pulls its starting goaltender. There was plenty of deserving room on the bench.

The Americans and Canadiens entered the tournament regarded as the top two teams. But the Americans looked like the best team on ice at the Milano Cortina Winter Games. Next, Team USA (4-0) will play Italy (2-0) Friday, Feb. 13.

“I think if we keep playing like we’re playing and focus on a team effort for a full 60 minutes, it’s really hard to play against us,’ US goaltender Aerin Frankel said.

In four games, the US has outscored its opponents 20-1. Twelve different players have scored for Team USA. But the victory against Canada demonstrated even more.

There was pushing.

There was shoving.

There was jostling.

There was checking.

The Americans got the best of it all, beating Canada on the scoreboard and in the game measured by physicality.

Canada’s captain, Marie-Philip Poulin, was out with an injury. But one player, no matter how talented, is not enough to topple the Americans. 

In the third period, Canada did play well in spurts. But no team is going to beat the Americans by just playing well in spurts. Not when the Americans’ offense is sizzling, its defense is stifling and Frankel is in goal. She saved everything, except for Canada forward Julie Gosling from delusion.

Talking about a potential rematch with the US team, possibly in the gold medal game Feb. 19, Gosling said, “If we bring our game and our confidence the way we know we can play, then I think we have a great shot against them.’

The best shot Canada has at this point is for silver.

Those goal medals will be headed back to the United States.

In connection with the Offering, Karen Mate, the Company’s director, acquired 337,143 NFT Units (the ‘Insider Subscription’). The Insider Subscription constituted a ‘related party transaction’ within the meaning of the policies of the Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (‘MI 61-101’), but was exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements pursuant to sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a), respectively, of MI 61-101 on the basis that neither the fair market value of shares subject to the Insider Subscription nor the consideration paid in connection with the Insider Subscription exceeded 25% of the Company’s market capitalization calculated in accordance with MI 61-101. A material change report was not filed more than 21 days prior to closing of the Offering because the Insider Subscription was not finalized until shortly prior to the completion of the Offering.

None of the securities issued in connection with the Offering will be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the ‘1933 Act‘), and none of them may be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any state where such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful.
