Bitcoin recently broke through $74,000 but fell back to around $70,800 due to selling pressure from short-term holders. While the price shows an uptrend, it faces structural resistance, and the current movement looks more like a bear market rally than a bull market launch. If it fails to effectively resist selling pressure, it may break below the $70,000 support level. The market is still waiting for clearer signals.

Ledger Asia-Pacific head Shibayama stated that if the US implements a stablecoin yield ban, international discussions would increase. Countries like Australia have already provided regulatory exemptions, and currently most stablecoins do not offer yields to users. US regulatory legislation is progressing slowly due to opposition to ban provisions supported by the banking industry. Asian financial institutions' focus has shifted toward financial product tokenization and stablecoin issuance, rather than crypto-native products such as DeFi.

Foresight News reports that according to The Block, Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan analyzed that the crypto market started 2026 well, but whether it can sustain the uptrend depends on overcoming three key obstacles. Hougan stated that Bitcoin and Ethereum both rose approximately 7% year-to-date, while more speculative assets like Dogecoin achieved larger gains. However, prices declined on Wednesday, raising market questions about whether the New Year rally can be sustained. He noted that the first obstacle he identified has been cleared—avoiding large-scale market volatility similar to the market crash event on October 10 last year, which resulted in at least $20 billion in crypto futures positions being liquidated that day. He said that while concerns about potential forced liquidations by large market makers or hedge funds had previously pressured prices last year,

MSCI recently announced that it will not temporarily remove MicroStrategy (now renamed to Strategy) from its global equity indices, a decision that has eased market concerns about potential forced selling. However, this ruling has not quelled the controversy; rather, it has sparked deeper discussions: should companies with bitcoin as their primary balance sheet asset be viewed as traditional enterprises, or as leveraged cryptocurrency investment vehicles? MSCI's latest statement indicated that it will defer the proposal to remove DATCO (Digital Asset Technology Company) in the February 2026 review, emphasizing that the review is still ongoing. While companies like MicroStrategy can continue to remain in the indices, MSCI has implemented certain restrictions on these companies. These measures include not increasing the share quantity of these companies, foreign inclusion factors or domestic inclusion factors, and deferring the addition or adjustment of their size segments. This action effectively freezes these companies' share in the indices, limiting future passive capital inflows, especially when these companies issue new shares.
