In the current market context, cryptocurrency traders are gradually reducing their leverage. This follows the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting minutes indicating that a stable interest rate policy will be maintained until inflation shows signs of improvement. Although the price of Bitcoin has slightly increased by 1.2%, traders remain cautious due to diminishing demand and declining blockchain activity, which could cause Bitcoin's value to drop from the current level above $97,000 to $86,000.

The open interest in Bitcoin futures has significantly decreased, reflecting a decline in speculative activity.

Meanwhile, the newly launched Pi Network token is experiencing high volatility, demonstrating the risks associated with new tokens in the cryptocurrency space. Noteworthy developments this week include SEC Chairman Paul Atkins calling for the 'repatriation' of crypto businesses to the U.S. amidst increasingly open regulations.
