It has been a volatile week in markets. While today’s price action was less dramatic on the surface, the policy backdrop became more intense.

The latest developments around the CLARITY Act brought renewed focus to how stablecoin legislation is being shaped, particularly efforts by the banking lobby to restrict key features tied to privacy and yield. That pressure showed up quickly in markets, with several crypto and fintech-exposed names seeing sharp downside.

At the same time, broader market signals remain nuanced. Even with weakness in mega cap tech earlier in the week, semiconductors and small caps continued to outperform, suggesting broadening and rotation rather than outright risk-off behavior.

If the first two weeks of the year are any guide, 2026 is shaping up to be a market where timing, selectivity, and asset choice matter more than simple diversification. This is increasingly a year about positioning, not just participation.
