1. Market overview
Crypto markets saw sharp volatility, with Bitcoin trading around $58,000–$61,000 amid bearish sentiment, elevated ETF outflows, and cautious institutional positioning.
Ethereum and several altcoins faced continued downward pressure tied to broader risk aversion and macroeconomic uncertainty, while total market capitalization hovered near $2.2 trillion.
Despite price weakness, Bitcoin on-chain activity remained resilient, and derivatives markets showed crowded short positioning that briefly supported relief bounces.
Invesco filed for a tokenized fund targeting the stablecoin reserve sector, following its acquisition of tokenized money market fund manager Superstate.
Kraken held talks to acquire a significant stake in DeFi protocol Aave, reflecting continued interest in DeFi infrastructure despite sector challenges and ongoing regulatory scrutiny (including stablecoin customer identification proposals).
The Ethereum Foundation made notable budget realignments within the ecosystem.
Coinbase’s Base layer-2 network experienced a temporary outage that disrupted transaction processing before recovering.

Current portfolio:
New Portfolio update
Jupiter (JUP) led Solana-linked momentum, supported by tangible supply-and-revenue catalysts. Over the past 90 days the protocol executed more than $5.7 million in JUP buybacks, while weekly revenue distributions have been running around $580,000—placing Jupiter among the top on-chain applications by revenue. A community-approved pause in token emissions further reduces near-term sell pressure, and the continued rollout of new products (including JupUSD integration and additional trading primitives) has helped JUP outperform the broader market with strong recent gains.
Algorand (ALGO) saw a credibility boost from regulation and a longer-dated security narrative. Its inclusion on Japan’s JVCEA Green List is a meaningful gating event that can accelerate compliant exchange listings in a highly regulated market and has already coincided with a sharp weekly move higher. In parallel, the Foundation published a roadmap targeting network-wide quantum resilience by 2027, with initial post-quantum account and tooling milestones slated for 2026—positioning Algorand as proactive on next-generation security while it continues to court institutional and real-world asset activity.
Quant (QNT) strengthened its institutional thesis with both product delivery and enterprise alignment. The launch of Fusion Rollup on mainnet—a multi-ledger rollup designed to connect multiple networks—adds a concrete interoperability milestone, while ongoing bank-facing initiatives in the UK around tokenized deposits and settlement infrastructure keep Quant close to regulated “programmable money” use cases. Technically, QNT has shown signs of a higher-conviction move with an above-average breakout and improving relative strength, reinforcing the view that enterprise-driven catalysts could remain a key tailwind into the second half of 2026.
4. Multi-year track record
By the end of last week, that hypothetical $1,000 was worth $107,101 in the strategy, versus $8,306 in spot Bitcoin and $11,990 in spot Ethereum.
Fich Crypto Strategy vs. BTC and ETH — growth of $1,000 since inception (log scale).
