**January 5 – PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) CEO Paul Griggs announced the firm will expand its cryptocurrency and digital asset-related services as the U.S. regulatory landscape for crypto becomes more defined.** In an interview with the Financial Times, Griggs cited two key drivers behind PwC’s shift: new leadership at U.S. regulatory agencies and progress on the GENIUS Act, a stablecoin-focused piece of legislation. “Stablecoin rules and legislation will boost market confidence, and asset tokenization trends will keep growing,” Griggs said. “PwC needs to be part of this ecosystem.” As one of the global Big Four accounting firms, PwC currently offers crypto-related services including audit, accounting, cybersecurity, wallet management, and compliance/regulatory consulting.

January 5, 2026 – The broader cryptocurrency market has gained traction as 2026 gets underway, with Bitcoin and major altcoins rebounding sharply from late-2025’s deep pullback. Bitcoin, which fell 6% cumulatively in the final stretch of 2025 and missed expectations tied to the traditional “four-year cycle,” reclaimed the key psychological level of $90,000 on January 4.
