Despite Trump’s promise to make America the “crypto capital” of the world — in part through forming a Crypto Strategic Reserve — more than $670 billion has been shaved off the total crypto market cap since he was inaugurated on Jan. 20.

This is because crypto legislation is built with a “long term” perspective, not just based on recent events, he told Cointelegraph.

Senator Durbin’s bill was one of the first crypto-focused pieces of legislation introduced in the 119th session of Congress following competing proposals to regulate stablecoins in the House and Senate. It’s unclear whether any Democrat-backed bill will have the support needed to pass through the Republican-controlled Congress and be signed into law by President Donald Trump.

Shoal Research founder Gabriel Tramble said on X that the standard Raydium AMM takes a 0.25% fee on swaps, but Pump.fun could place a higher fee on swaps and “potentially double its revenue if market conditions persist” with its own AMM pools.

This is a sticky paradox: As decentralization and financial inclusion are promoted, technical barriers centralize participation to a small group of tech-savvy users and institutional players. Decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols, despite their potential to change finance, remain largely inaccessible to mainstream users who struggle to understand their interfaces and technical prerequisites.

There is a significantly important barrier to mainstream adoption often being overlooked: a lack of clarity of use and self-imposed complexity problems. Clinging to jargon and technical obfuscation leads to missed opportunities to onboard the next billion users, even as the technology matures and offers real-world applications that deliver on the early promise and vision for crypto.

He argued that “Tornado Cash is not a financial institution” and that “there could be no agreement to commit money laundering because the Tornado Cash protocol became immutable in May 2020, four months before the alleged start of the conspiracy.”

The ratio of positive Bitcoin stories has, however, increased as Bitcoin soared to new highs and became more institutionalized in the early 2020s, according to Bitcoin Perception data shared exclusively with Cointelegraph.

Bitcoin has reached the historic $100,000 milestone almost 16 years after launching in 2009 — but the road hasn’t been easy for OG Bitcoiners, who have had to endure some of the most brutal attacks from mainstream media’s (MSM) biggest names.

Byzantine General, a crypto futures analyst, hinted at a similar move for Bitcoin, with a liquidity sweep around the $85,000 mark over the course of December. However, the analyst said future drawdowns would be “short-term corrections.”

While the 100-day EMA level (green line) is immediate support, historically, it has been a weak reversal point if tested within short-term periods of time (the 100-EMA was tested once last week). Short-term corrections down to $90,800 are a technical target from the double-top pattern, but prices may swipe the key liquidity zone under $90,000.

From a technical standpoint, Bitcoin’s four-hour chart pictured a confirmed double-top pattern with $95,000 as its base trendline. A daily close under the $95,000 mark will increase the probability of another decline near the $92,000 and $90,000 range. The relative strength index (RSI) also exhibited a rejection below the 50 level, which means selling pressure is gaining momentum.
