According to Forbes, although the UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) lifted the retail ban on cryptocurrency exchange-traded notes in October 2025, actual access remains subject to multiple restrictions.Bitcoin ETNs are classified as "restricted retail market investments," requiring investors to go through processes such as risk warnings, suitability tests, and cooling-off periods, and they do not benefit from the Financial Services Compensation Scheme protection. In addition, major banks like HSBC and Barclays have imposed limits on transfers to cryptocurrency exchanges, with some banks even directly blocking related transactions.The head of European financial institutions at Bitwise Asset Management stated that the FCA's "same risk, same regulation" principle is too vague, conflating Bitcoin with speculative tokens, which forces investors to turn to offshore platforms with weaker regulations.Starting from April 2026, cryptocurrency ETNs cannot be included in mainstream ISA tax-free accounts and can only be held in innovative finance ISAs, further restricting tax-advantaged holding channels. Critics point out that regulatory measures intended to reduce risk are instead pushing investors into higher-risk environments, contrary to the original intent of consumer protection.

According to Coinglass data, if Bitcoin falls below $68,000, the cumulative long liquidation intensity on mainstream CEX will reach $719 million. Conversely, if Bitcoin breaks above $72,000, the cumulative short liquidation intensity on mainstream CEX will reach $834 million.Note: The liquidation chart does not show the exact number of contracts to be liquidated or the exact value of the contracts being liquidated. The bars on the liquidation chart actually represent the significance of each liquidation cluster relative to nearby liquidation clusters, i.e., intensity. Therefore, the liquidation chart shows to what extent the underlying price reaching a certain level will be affected. A higher "liquidation bar" indicates that once the price reaches that point, there will be a stronger reaction due to liquidity waves.

According to Cointelegraph, Nic Carter, founding partner of Castle Island Ventures, stated that Bitcoin's lag in quantum resistance could become a bullish reason for Ethereum.Carter mentioned that elliptic curve cryptography is nearing obsolescence, and blockchain developers need to accept the necessity of variable cryptography. He pointed out that Bitcoin developers are "turning a blind eye" to the quantum resistance issue, while Ethereum developers have made it a "top strategic priority" and have developed a detailed anti-quantum roadmap. Carter believes that unless Bitcoin changes rapidly, the ETH/BTC ratio will begin to reflect this difference in priorities. Previously, ARK Invest reported that about one-third of Bitcoin faces quantum threats, but this is considered a long-term risk. Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin proposed a quantum resistance roadmap in February. A co-author of BIP-360 responded that core contributors have been involved in the proposal. Carter criticized Bitcoin core developers for "denying, misleading, and rejecting community feedback," while Bitcoin developers stated that the proposal has received the most comments in history.

According to Cointelegraph, Bitcoin financial services company Swan Bitcoin filed an ex parte application in the Federal Court for the Southern District of New York on Monday, seeking to issue subpoenas to Cantor Fitzgerald and its former CEO Howard Lutnick for key documents related to its failed mining joint venture project.Swan Bitcoin sued several former employees in 2024, accusing them of stealing confidential documents after collectively leaving the company to establish a competing firm, Proton Management, and allegedly persuading Tether to terminate its partnership with Swan in favor of supporting the new company. Swan claims this plan was internally referred to by former employees as the "Rain and Hellfire" plan, primarily orchestrated by former Head of Business Development Michael Holmes and former Chief Investment Officer Raphael Zagury. Swan believes that Cantor Fitzgerald, as Tether's investment banking advisor, may hold key documents related to the low-priced sale of Swan's mining joint venture project 2040 Energy assets to a Tether subsidiary.
