Nansen founder and CEO Alex Svanevik stated that Bitcoin's current price of around $60,000 may have marked the low point of this cycle. "Personally, I don't think Bitcoin will go below $60,000 again; I believe that's in the past, and I think it's forever." Alex Svanevik said this judgment is based on Bitcoin's positioning as a hedge against global central bank currency expansion, and he has not seen signs that the global monetary easing cycle is about to end. At the same time, the crypto industry is undergoing a fundamental transformation; crypto assets were previously in the toy world of blockchain and are now entering the real world era.In terms of the public chain ecosystem, Svanevik holds a long-term bullish view on Solana, stating that the perception of it as merely a meme coin chain is completely absurd. He believes Solana has "possibly the most effective BD team" and "an incredible team." However, Svanevik declined to translate this judgment into a specific price prediction for SOL—"Intuitively, I would think it will rise, but I can't be sure." Svanevik is also optimistic about the Robinhood chain, which just launched in July this year, believing it is rising as a strong competitor to Base due to its excellent user distribution capabilities. However, he judges that Robinhood is unlikely to issue a token—on one hand, it doesn't need to, and on the other hand, as a publicly traded company on NASDAQ, issuing a token would logically contradict competing with its own stock, "All value should be directed to HOOD stock."

According to Bitcoin.com, the Central Bank of Brazil stated at a congressional hearing that stablecoins have the attributes of payment tools and should be classified as electronic money instruments rather than general digital assets, thus falling under a stricter regulatory framework.The Brazilian Association of Crypto Economy opposed this, arguing that such classification could lead to regulatory conflicts, hinder the application of stablecoins in institutional and retail markets, and divert Brazil from international regulatory trends. Meanwhile, the Central Bank of Brazil has recently increased regulatory requirements for virtual asset service providers, which may put pressure on the operations of small and medium-sized crypto institutions.

Tom Lee, Chairman of BitMine, the largest treasury in Ethereum, stated that there are ample reasons for the ETH/BTC exchange rate to strengthen in the second half of 2026. The core logic is that the narrative of ETH as a currency is gaining market attention. Tom Lee pointed out three major catalysts: the continuous growth of stablecoins, the wave of asset tokenization, and the increase in new forks and projects within the Ethereum ecosystem, all of which are reinforcing ETH's value storage properties and improving its performance relative to BTC.Tom Lee clearly expects the ETH/BTC exchange rate to continue rising throughout 2026 and emphasized that this is a key indicator worth ongoing attention. Tom Lee believes that macro factors also support the ETH/BTC exchange rate: the decline in oil prices alleviates inflationary pressures, cryptocurrencies remain downstream beneficiary assets of the AI narrative, and the advancement of the CLARITY Act and the GENIUS Act retains a favorable regulatory window.

The Hong Kong Monetary Authority and the Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau jointly announced that the first phase review on promoting the further application of Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) in Hong Kong's fixed income market has been completed.The review results indicate that the current legal and regulatory environment in Hong Kong is sufficiently flexible to support the issuance of tokenized bonds. The three batches of iconic tokenized bonds issued by the Hong Kong government and the increasing number of corporate issuances (including those from issuers in Asia and the Middle East) are the best evidence of this. The next phase will involve a review of the legislation to promote the broader application of DLT in the fixed income market and the digital asset sector, including allowing the electronic execution of tokenized bond issuance documents and exploring concepts such as "custody" and "transfer" of tokenized fixed income products.

According to The Block, the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) pointed out in its "2026 Annual Economic Report" that current stablecoins do not meet monetary standards in terms of singularity, resilience, interoperability, and integrity, and their operational model is closer to ETFs rather than payment tools.The report estimates that even if the market value of stablecoins expands to between $1 trillion and $3 trillion, the net effect on economic output will still be slightly negative, while also exacerbating banks' financing pressures and weakening credit capacity. The BIS also warned of the risk of "stablecoin dollarization" in emerging economies, which could erode their monetary sovereignty.The report suggests using central bank currencies as a benchmark to construct a "unified ledger" that encompasses tokenized central bank reserves and commercial bank currencies as an alternative, and uses the Project Agora cross-border payment prototype as a feasibility proof.
