warning

According to a Forbes article, Trump recently warned that U.S. military actions against Iran could last more than five weeks, stating that "the real large-scale operations have not yet begun, and the big ones will come soon."The market believes that if the conflict in the Middle East becomes prolonged, it could lead to increased fiscal spending and raise the probability of the Federal Reserve easing monetary policy or even restarting large-scale liquidity injections, which may benefit cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. Some aggressive predictions suggest that Bitcoin could reach highs of $200,000 to $500,000 within the year.Additionally, a potential financial crisis driven by artificial intelligence could trigger impacts more severe than those of 2008, similarly benefiting Bitcoin in reaching new historical highs. Analysts point out that geopolitical risks, expectations of fiscal expansion, and shifts in monetary policy are becoming important macro variables for the current market's bets on Bitcoin's upward movement.

Analyst @alicharts recently posted that the death cross of the 50 and 200 simple moving averages on the Bitcoin 3-day K-line chart occurred on February 27, which historically often signals the final decline phase of a bear market.The article cites historical data since 2014, noting that Bitcoin has dropped about 50% after this indicator appeared in each bear market cycle.

According to a report by Cointelegraph, a study by data provider Amberdata found that WLFI exhibited significant warning signs during a massive market liquidation on October 10, 2025. More than five hours before approximately $6.93 billion in leveraged positions were liquidated across the network, WLFI began to decline sharply, while the price of Bitcoin remained around $121,000, showing no obvious signs of pressure.The study suggests that due to many trading platforms supporting WLFI as collateral, the token's extreme volatility led to a decrease in collateral value, forcing traders to liquidate BTC and ETH to cover their positions, triggering a chain reaction across the entire market. Mike Marshall from Amberdata stated that this five-hour lead time is hard to consider a coincidence, as WLFI's high leverage characteristics make it more sensitive to market pressures.

Several European tokenization and market infrastructure companies have jointly written to EU lawmakers, urging for a prompt revision of the EU's DLT Pilot Regime. Securitize, 21X, Boerse Stuttgart Group, and others pointed out that the current asset scope, issuance size limits, and six-year license restrictions have hindered the expansion of regulated on-chain markets.Relevant institutions believe that if adjustments are delayed, global liquidity may permanently shift in favor of the U.S. due to advancements in tokenized securities and near-real-time settlement. The proposal is not about relaxing regulations, but rather about technically "quickly revising" to expand the scope of eligible assets, raise limits, and remove time restrictions to maintain the competitiveness of European capital markets.

CryptoQuant analyst @AxelAdlerJr stated that the net realized profit and loss of Bitcoin has recently dropped by 97%, returning to near zero. The last time this occurred was in June 2022, after which Bitcoin fell from $30,000 to $16,000.@AxelAdlerJr pointed out that at the current price level, whales are still profitable (with a buffer of 25%-80%), so there is no panic yet. However, it is not buyers that are supporting the market, but rather the absence of sellers.

The founder of Spring Capital, Hu Zuliu, shared the stage with Binance founder Zhao Changpeng (CZ) at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2026. In response to Hu Zuliu's concerns about the systemic risks that generative AI may provoke, CZ stated that the root of financial risk does not lie in technology, but in the underlying flaws of the traditional banking system. If the financial system itself is healthy, more efficient and cheaper technologies will always bring more benefits than drawbacks.CZ also pointed out that the real risk lies in the traditional banking "Fractional Reserve System." Under this system, when banks face liquidity pressure, the technical convenience of withdrawals will only reveal the truth of their insufficient funds, and "slowing down withdrawals" does not address the fundamental issue.

The Hong Kong securities industry group has expressed objections to the city's proposed regulatory framework for digital asset management, warning that the related reforms could hinder traditional asset management institutions from venturing into the cryptocurrency space.In a submission to regulators on Tuesday, the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Professionals Association opposed a proposed regulatory adjustment that would eliminate the existing "minimum exemption threshold" for Type 9 asset managers. According to a report by local law firm JunHe, under the current framework, institutions holding a Type 9 license (which covers discretionary portfolio and asset management services) are only required to notify regulators without applying for additional license upgrades if they allocate less than 10% of their total fund assets to crypto assets.The Hong Kong Securities and Futures Professionals Association pointed out that the proposed reform would remove this threshold, meaning that even a 1% exposure to Bitcoin would require obtaining a full virtual asset management license. The industry group stated that this "all or nothing" regulatory approach lacks proportionality and believes that it will still incur significant compliance costs even with limited risk exposure, potentially deterring traditional management institutions from attempting to engage with the crypto asset category.This industry backlash targets a regulatory framework that has already entered the fast lane. In December last year, Hong Kong authorities released a consultation summary report on related reform proposals following a public consultation that began in June. The Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau and the Securities and Futures Commission have initiated further consultations on introducing a supplementary licensing system for crypto asset trading, advisory, and management services.

According to Decrypt, Galaxy Research has issued a warning that the draft of the "Crypto Market Structure Act" (Clarity Act) currently under review by the Senate Banking Committee will significantly expand the financial surveillance powers of the U.S. Treasury. The draft includes provisions to freeze transactions without a court order, as well as expanded "special measures" authority targeting the front end of decentralized finance.Alex Thorn, head of research at Galaxy Digital, stated that if these measures become law, it would "represent the largest single expansion of financial surveillance powers since the USA PATRIOT Act in 2001."

Fitch Ratings, an international credit rating agency, released an assessment report on Monday, categorizing Bitcoin-backed securities as "speculative grade" credit ratings, warning of their "high risk" that could lead to losses for lenders and investors.The report pointed out that the extreme volatility of Bitcoin prices is a major risk factor. When the collateral coverage ratio falls below the stipulated threshold, it can quickly erode the value of the collateral and trigger margin calls and forced liquidations.Fitch cited the collapses of crypto lending platforms such as BlockFi and Celsius in 2022-2023, emphasizing the vulnerability of collateral models under market pressure. This assessment primarily targets credit instruments that directly rely on the value of collateral for repayment, excluding equity products like spot Bitcoin ETFs.

CryptoQuant reported that data shows the 14-day simple moving average (SMA) of the Ethereum Coinbase premium has dropped to -2.285, marking the lowest level since early February 2025.The agency stated that this sign of on-chain weakness indicates a weakening demand from U.S. institutional investors, and traders should remain cautious, as the continuation of this negative trend increases the risk of further corrections in Ethereum.
