Banks across the US, the UK, and Europe finally have a legal path to issue stablecoins, custody Bitcoin, and settle tokenized funds, yet the capital rulebook that governs it all still treats a Bitcoin position as something close to a guaranteed loss. Under the Basel Committee’s cryptoasset standard, which has been live in member jurisdictions since January 1, 2026, unbacked crypto is in the most punitive bucket in the whole framework, carrying a 1,250% risk weight. Once you push that through Basel’s 8% minimum, you end up with a bank holding capital equal to its full exposure, a dollar of…

Bitcoin ($BTC) is fast approaching a buying level that analysts describe as a top “investment opportunity.” Key points: Bitcoin only needs to dip another $5,000 to hit a buy-in level that has always marked the bear-market bottom zone. This “best” area to invest is now on the radar of traders and analysts alike. PlanB describes a return below the level as “likely” during the 2026 bear market. $BTC price nears a classic bear-market buy-in zone Data from onchain analytics platform CryptoQuant shows that $BTC/USD is less than 10% away from its aggregate realized price.

Analysts at Evernorth, the largest independent $XRP treasury, examined the logic behind this fear and explained, using fresh on-chain data from Dune Analytics, why the new dollar does not “eat” $XRP, but instead acts as its main catalyst. Inside…
