Is it a world-shaking macro development? Nope. Needed for sure, but not something that should redefine value, Brandt told Cointelegraph on Friday. Having an asset regulated, particularly an asset for which die-hard investors never wanted to be regulated, is not an earth-shattering event, he added. His comments came after White House crypto and AI czar David Sacks said on Thursday, We are closer than ever to passing the landmark crypto market structure legislation. Read more

Multiple factors, including ETF outflows, contracting demand, and price falling below key support levels, indicate the start of a BTC bear market.

The price of Bitcoin (BTC) will outperform gold in the long run, and BTC holders should not sell their coins to pour into gold during its meteoric run to prices above $4,000 per ounce, according to Bitcoin advocate, educator and market analyst Matthew Kratter.
