According to an analysis model released by CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost, the indicator based on Bitcoin's four-year Simple Moving Average (SMA) has entered the bear market level range.This indicator measures Bitcoin's valuation status through standard deviation and SMA multiples: the higher the multiple, the deeper the overbought level, and the closer the price is to the four-year SMA, the lower the valuation. The current Bitcoin price has fallen back to the green zone and is close to the four-year SMA level, which is currently around $57,500. Historically, this level usually marks the final stage of each bear market, with BTC prices often consolidating in this area for several months. Darkfost stated that he typically does not favor models based on moving averages, but believes this indicator is worth paying attention to.

Chase, the former head of listings at Binance, stated in an interview, "The Binance listing team has a total of more than a dozen people, with 4 of us, including myself, who can actually engage with projects. In my two and a half years here, I have reviewed over 1,000 crypto projects, and I estimate that around 100 projects will have their tokens listed on Binance (including Alpha) in 2025. The ratio of projects that can be listed after communicating with the founders is about 5% to 10%. Bitcoin will definitely reach a historical high in 2026.In a week of 2025, after Bitcoin's daily K-line rose continuously for 7 days with the same amplitude and trading volume, it suddenly dropped. This pattern indicates the presence of a strong "whale" that can control the entire chip situation. I understand this as someone or a group wanting to announce to the world that the price of Bitcoin is now under their control, and they hope that those who understand will join in.Market makers do not look at fundamentals but only at the liquidity they believe in. Therefore, the above situation either belongs to the market liquidity at that time being controlled by a few market makers with the same algorithm, or it is that a certain group with chips believes that other groups will not participate in trading during that time period."

According to Crypto Politan, the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) announced its updated regulatory framework for crypto tokens last year and released a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document to assist businesses in understanding and implementing the new regulations.The new framework allows entities regulated by the DFSA within the Dubai International Financial Centre to choose the crypto tokens they wish to work with without requiring prior approval from the DFSA, and this update has been effective since 2026. The FAQ clarifies that the new regulations cover crypto tokens used for payment or investment purposes, excluding investment tokens such as NFTs, utility tokens, securities tokens, and stablecoins.Stablecoins are limited to use by asset managers for payments.

According to CoinDesk, the DeFi Education Fund (DEF) based in Washington, USA, stated in response to the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) regarding the consultation paper on the regulation of crypto asset activities that regulatory obligations should only apply to entities that have "unilateral control" over user assets or transactions, and should not be considered intermediaries solely for developing or participating in decentralized protocols.DEF argues that "control" should be linked to specific operational powers such as the ability to unilaterally initiate or block transactions, modify protocol parameters, or exclude users, and warns that directly applying the requirements for prudent regulation, reporting, and platform access of centralized trading platforms, as well as complete anti-money laundering obligations, to automated, non-custodial DeFi protocols will be structurally mismatched.
