📰 Highlights from Crypto Markets & Policy:
• Markets Reeling Still Volatile:
Bitcoin (BTC) has dropped below US$90,000 and Ethereum (ETH) is flirting with a dip below US$3,000, as broad crypto liquidations shake the market.Options market data suggests many traders expect crypto prices to remain range bound in the near term betting on a crypto winter rather than a quick rebound.The sell off continues even as traditional stock markets rally marking the first time since 2014 that stocks are up while BTC is down for the year.
• Recovery Signs Market Stabilization Emerging:
According to a new report from Bybit and Block Scholes, crypto markets are beginning to stabilize after the early December sell off.For some investors, the dip may present a buying opportunity especially among long term holders watching for value in tokens like XRP.
🌍 Policy & Global Regulatory Moves:
• Crackdown on Illicit Crypto Activity:
Authorities in Switzerland and Germany jointly shut down Cryptomixer.io a major mixer service used to launder cryptocurrencies. Servers were seized, €25M in Bitcoin confiscated, and data handed over to law enforcement.The crackdown highlights increasing global efforts to police misuse of crypto for illicit finance.
• Some Governments Embrace Crypto Innovation:
In a significant local development, Pakistan Crypto Council (PCC) confirmed that Pakistan is working to launch its first government backed stablecoin. The move aims to integrate virtual assets more deeply into Pakistan’s financial system and support future digital finance infrastructure.At the same time, another Pakistani proposal for a time bound amnesty for crypto traders is under review potentially easing the regulatory burden for local investors.
🔎 What This Means for Crypto Investors:
The current market environment is highly volatile strong price swings and uncertain macro conditions are causing major shifts.Some signs of stabilization and consolidation suggest this could be a good moment for longer term investors to evaluate positions rather than panic sell.On the regulatory front, the landscape continues to evolve with tighter enforcement against illicit crypto use, but also progressive moves in some countries (like Pakistan) aiming to institutionalize crypto via stablecoins and clearer frameworks.
