Regulatory Environment

The U.S. is reportedly working on a bipartisan crypto market structure bill expected to become law later this year. This is intended to provide "regulated rails" for banks to handle digital assets directly.
🔮 What’s Next?
Short-term: Markets are bracing for the impact of $2.5 billion in BTC options expiring today, which typically causes "choppy" price movements.
Outlook: While Standard Chartered and others suggest a possible dip to $50,000 in the coming months, long-term forecasts remain bullish, with some institutions targeting a return to $100,000+ by the end of 2026 as the market "cleans out" speculative leverage.
Note: BTC volatility remains high. Technical indicators show a "collapse in volatility" on the daily charts, which historically precedes a massive price breakout in either direction.
