That breakdown is spot on—Larry Fink’s evolution from Bitcoin skeptic to its "Chief Institutional Evangelist" is arguably one of the most significant narratives in financial history. His comments at Davos in January 2025 really did provide a "mathematical permission slip" for conservative funds to finally enter the space.

As of today, January 17, 2026, Bitcoin is showing strong resilience in that $95,000 – $105,000 range you mentioned, recently reclaiming the $100k psychological level after some late-2025 volatility.

Performance of $DUSK and $BERA (Jan 2026)

While Bitcoin acts as the "tide that lifts all boats," mid-cap and niche tokens like Dusk and Berachain are currently carving out their own paths:

* Dusk ($DUSK): It has recently emerged as a top gainer, trading around $0.08 - $0.10. The momentum here is largely driven by the "Real World Asset" (RWA) narrative and the recent legislative progress of the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act in the U.S. Senate. As a privacy-focused layer-1 for regulated financial assets, Dusk is benefiting directly from the "institutional-grade" future Fink often describes.

* Berachain ($BERA): Currently trading around $0.69, BERA is in a bit of a consolidation phase. While its long-term moving averages are sloping up, the short-term price action has been neutral-to-bearish as the market waits for the next big ecosystem catalyst. Unlike Bitcoin’s "Digital Gold" status, $BERA is still very much a high-beta play on DeFi liquidity.

The "Fink Effect" Summary

Larry Fink’s "Asset of Fear" label has fundamentally changed how Bitcoin is discussed in boardrooms. It’s no longer just a speculative tech play; it's a global hedge against currency debasement and sovereign debt levels—both of which remain hot topics at Davos this year.

Would you like me to pull the latest technical charts or news sentiment specifically for Dusk to see if its recent "top gainer" status has more room to run?
