😡 "Backlash" Alert: Is the Institutional Era Killing the Alpha? 📉
The "dislike" button is being smashed today, January 7, 2026, as the community reacts to MSCI's controversial new "consultation." In a move being called a "backstab" to crypto-heavy companies, the index provider is signaling a crackdown on Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) companies.
🧨 Why the Backlash?
Index Exclusions: While MSCI "shelved" the immediate plan to eject companies like MicroStrategy ($MSTR) today, they signaled a broader review. Traders are fuming because this "sword of Damocles" creates massive uncertainty, potentially forcing billions in passive fund sell-offs.
The "Genius" Act Skepticism: In the U.S., the GENIUS Act is facing heat for "hidden" clauses. Retail investors are slamming provisions that could effectively ban interest-bearing stablecoins for non-accredited users. The consensus? "They’re taking our passive income to save the banks."
Pi Network Silence: The "Pioneers" are in a full-blown uproar over the new 2026 Roadmap. After years of waiting, the update reportedly lacks a concrete Mainnet date, leading to accusations of "infinite hype with zero delivery."
Is the "Institutional Era" just a fancy way of saying "Retail is getting squeezed out"? 🧐
Are you dumping your "DAT" stocks before the next MSCI review, or is this just more FUD? Let’s vent below! 👇
