Elizabeth Warren is expected to lead the Senate Banking Committee and launch investigations into major banks, private equity firms, prediction markets and cryptocurrency companies, according to WSJ cited by Bull Theory.

According to the source, U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren sent a letter to the SEC warning that savers could "lose big" if crypto is added to 401k retirement plans (source: social media post dated Jan 12, 2026 reporting Warren’s letter to the SEC). For traders, this signals potential regulatory headwinds that may temper expectations for retirement-plan inflows into BTC and ETH and increase headline risk during U.S. trading hours (source: same Jan 12, 2026 social media post highlighting opposition to 401k crypto exposure). The source does not mention any SEC response, so traders should monitor official SEC communications and retirement-plan provider updates for follow-up that could move prices (source: same Jan 12, 2026 social media post).
