According to CoinDesk, at the Consensus Hong Kong conference, Sui executives Stephen Mackintosh and Evan Cheng stated that 2025 will be a "watershed year" for institutional crypto adoption, as the introduction of the "Genius Act" has significantly increased institutions' understanding and demand for crypto assets.Mackintosh pointed out that the surge in Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) tools, the successful issuance of spot Bitcoin ETFs, and the entry of large trading firms like Citadel and Jane Street all indicate that institutions are accelerating their investments in crypto infrastructure and talent. He noted that even though market sentiment may weaken temporarily, options trading volume has reached record levels, and the structural growth trend remains unchanged, stating that "institutional demand has never been stronger."Cheng emphasized that traditional finance (TradFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi) will move towards integration rather than competition in the future. He pointed out that traditional products often have a "T+1" or longer settlement period, while DeFi offers "T+0" instant settlement, providing a clear efficiency advantage. Through asset tokenization, investors can immediately engage in collateralized lending after acquiring assets, thereby layering DeFi strategies on top of traditional exposures.Both executives also stated that tokenization and "agentic commerce" (AI-driven on-chain transactions) will become key focus areas in the next phase.

According to CoinDesk, Steve Kurz, the Global Head of Asset Management and Co-Head of Digital Assets at Galaxy Digital, believes that the recent decline in cryptocurrencies is due to liquidity and leverage release rather than systemic failure. This indicates that the cryptocurrency cycle is more mature than in 2022, and most forced selling may have already been absorbed by the market.The development of stablecoins, tokenization, and the integration of blockchain with traditional finance is accelerating, making cryptocurrencies both a financial asset and a core part of the financial system. Steve Kurz expects that cryptocurrencies will not experience a V-shaped recovery but will go through a period of range-bound fluctuations. Subsequently, with the injection of institutional capital and the ongoing "great integration" of cryptocurrencies with traditional finance, cryptocurrency prices will gradually rise.

The Binance compliance team's investigators found that entities related to Iran received over $1 billion in funds through the exchange, with these transactions conducted via Tether on the Tron chain, potentially violating sanctions laws. After the investigators disclosed these findings through an internal report, at least 5 people began to be fired at the end of 2025.Additionally, in the past three months, at least four senior compliance personnel have either left or been dismissed, and Binance's Chief Compliance Officer Noah Perlman plans to leave later this year, although his departure is unrelated to the firing of the investigators. A Binance spokesperson stated that the company cannot comment on ongoing investigations according to policy and is committed to complying with all applicable sanctions laws and regulations in the markets where it operates. It is reported that Binance acknowledged in 2023 that it violated anti-money laundering, customer identification laws, and sanctions regulations, agreeing to pay a $4.3 billion fine.

Boosted by the lower-than-expected U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) for January, Bitcoin (BTC) saw a short-term increase of about 4%, with BTC/USD reaching as high as $68,855 on Bitstamp. Official data shows that the core CPI for January was in line with expectations at 2.5%, while the overall CPI was 2.4%, below the market expectation of 2.5%.Trading analysts pointed out that this is the lowest level of core CPI in years, and market expectations for further rate cuts by the Federal Reserve have increased. However, CME FedWatch data shows that the probability of a 0.25% rate cut at the March meeting is still less than 10%. From a technical perspective, Bitcoin still faces pressure in the $68,000-$69,000 range, which carries the historical high from 2021 and the 200-week EMA. Analysts believe that BTC is likely to form a higher low in this area; although it is weak in the short term, market momentum may gradually recover. In other markets, gold attempts to return to $5,000 per ounce, the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) has slightly rebounded, while U.S. stocks closed slightly lower.

According to Bloomberg, Coinbase's stock price rebounded the day after the release of its weak quarterly earnings report. Some bottom-fishing funds believe that the market has already fully priced in the negative factors, and the crypto market may be approaching a temporary bottom.The earnings report shows that the company's trading volume has weakened and trading revenue is under pressure, highlighting its performance's high sensitivity to fluctuations in digital asset prices and retail trading activity. Previously, affected by the overall weakening sentiment in the crypto market, Coinbase's stock price had fallen for several consecutive weeks and had significantly corrected before the earnings report was released. Market analysts believe that, with expectations having been downgraded and positions becoming more defensive, some investors chose to buy on dips, driving the stock price to stabilize and rebound in the short term.
