The Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) filed a lawsuit against the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) in the federal district court of Washington, D.C. on Friday, questioning its authority to grant national trust bank charters to cryptocurrency companies and requesting the court to revoke the final rule and interpretive letter No. 1176 issued on March 2, 2026.ICBA President and CEO Rebeca Romero Rainey stated that the relevant charters give cryptocurrency companies the credibility of obtaining federal bank charters without having to comply with federal deposit insurance, capital and liquidity standards, and requirements such as the Community Reinvestment Act. ICBA also seeks to revoke the conditional charter of Protego Holdings, citing deficiencies in its governance and risk control. The lawsuit involves digital asset companies such as Circle, Ripple, Paxos, Fidelity, BitGo, Kraken's parent company Payward, Block, and World Liberty Financial that have applied for or received OCC charters. Senator Elizabeth Warren separately accused the relevant approvals of being illegal, and the industry has raised objections; the OCC plans to complete the stablecoin rules under the GENIUS Act by November.

Cryptocurrency trader Ansem posted that frequently monitoring the market and judging price trends based on 15-minute candlesticks can easily lead to overtrading. Investors should manage their spot, perpetual contract, and high-risk on-chain trading accounts separately, and should not attempt to catch every local top and bottom, as this may harm long-term investment returns. Instead of frequent trading, it is better to study historical bull markets and observe how long upward trends typically last.The upward cycles of altcoins are usually faster, often outperforming the market for 4 to 6 months, after which new market leaders emerge, especially after a market capitalization growth of more than 10 times. However, there may be a few exceptions in this cycle: some altcoins may see significant revenue growth alongside price increases, thus their fundamentals may improve simultaneously.In past cycles, altcoins primarily peaked due to shifts in market attention and weakening momentum, but in this cycle, if some projects experience substantial changes in revenue and other data, institutional funds may continue to buy actively, and investors need to adjust their original judgments in a timely manner based on new information.In the last cycle, Bitcoin bottomed out in January 2023 and peaked in October 2025, with an upward trend lasting about 33 months. If this cycle bottomed out in July, it is currently only in the 4th month.It is believed that in a longer-term bull market, multiple "mini-bulls" led by specific altcoins will emerge, and investors need to identify these phase-strong assets and continuously reinvest profits into high-performing targets, allowing short-term winners to gradually transform into long-term investments.

Famous trader Killa stated that he does not believe Bitcoin will hit new lows again and is currently maintaining a long position. However, after the U.S. midterm elections, the market may still experience some de-risking behavior, so it is not the right time to establish hedge short positions in advance.Historically, Bitcoin's performance has been weak after every U.S. midterm election cycle. However, if Bitcoin continues to rise before the elections, traders can wait until the midterm elections are closer to decide whether to take action based on the price trends at that time.He believes that a more reasonable strategy right now is to continue holding long positions and observe market reactions before and after the midterm elections, and then consider whether to establish hedge short positions, rather than shorting in advance solely based on historical cycles.
