Cryptocurrency analysts have noted that the 200-week simple moving average stands out as a significant bottoming indicator for Bitcoin in long-term market cycles.

According to Martinez, Bitcoin has recorded strong gains in past cycles after touching the 200-week moving average. Historical data shows that after testing this level in 2015, 2018, 2020, and 2022, Bitcoin gained 8,500%, 267%, 1,125%, and 680% respectively.

What she’s saying: Former 21Shares co-founder Ophelia Snyder argues that crypto and traditional finance are talking past each other when it comes to tokenization. Tokenization solves real problems around settlement rails and moving assets, Snyder said. The larger challenge is integrating blockchain-based assets with the systems banks, brokerages and asset managers already use. Existing discussions often overlook the operational processes that occur after a trade is executed and before assets are fully settled. Snyder joined CoinDesk’s Jennifer Sanasie on Public Keys. The gap: Snyder said blockchain firms have largely addressed transaction throughput but not the broader operational requirements of financial…

A conditional national trust bank charter, a pending Federal Reserve master account, and a string of acquisitions in brokerage, payments, and treasury.

Ripple is turning itself into a bank, or something very close to one, and it is doing it methodically. Over the past year the company won conditional federal approval to operate a national trust bank, applied for a Federal Reserve master account that would give it direct access to the central bank’s…

Galaxy Digital founder and CEO Mike Novogratz has identified the main cause behind the sudden collapse in digital asset prices. During his latest appearance on an episode of the All Things Markets podcast with co-host Anthony Scaramucci, Novogratz attributed the slump to an unfortunate combination of corporate vulnerability, changing macroeconomic policies, and a broader “crisis of confidence.” A MicroStrategy-led crisis of confidence Of course, the deteriorating sentiment surrounding Strategy is currently the main factor. “Listen, this is a MicroStrategy-led breakdown in confidence around that complex, which is creating a crisis of confidence in Bitcoin,” Novogratz stated plainly.

Binance founder Changpeng Zhao said that the sharp decline in the cryptocurrency market in the first half of 2026 cannot be attributed to a single cause. According to CZ, geopolitical tensions, investors shifting towards the artificial intelligence sector, and the typical four-year cycle of the crypto market all contributed to the decline in Bitcoin and other crypto assets. Bitcoin reached an all-time high last October, surpassing $126,000. However, since then, it has lost approximately 50% of its value, trading around $89,000 at the beginning of the year. After briefly rising above $96,000, BTC subsequently fell back to around $60,000. CZ…
