Bitcoin Dynamics
Throughout the week, the price of Bitcoin steadily decreased. While at the beginning of the week the asset reached $96,000, the price later dropped below $81,000. At the time of analysis, Bitcoin is trading around $86,400.
The Fear and Greed Index fell to 10 points — the lowest level in the past nine months. Experts attribute this to potential financial issues among major market participants.
Institutional Investors
Despite the decline, some major players continue to show activity. In particular:
- Harvard University has tripled its investments in the BlackRock Bitcoin ETF;
- El Salvador purchased 1,098 BTC for approximately $100 million;
- Robert Kiyosaki sold Bitcoin worth $2.25 million.
Analysts at CryptoQuant believe that the current dynamics may precede a market recovery phase.
Ethereum and Other News
Vitalik Buterin introduced a new framework, Kohaku, to enhance privacy in the Ethereum ecosystem. At the same time, he warned of potential threats from excessive institutional influence.
“Major players could push away active participants in the crypto community.”
In the coming months, Ukraine plans to complete the legalization of cryptocurrencies. The head of the parliamentary committee, Danilo Hetmantsev, stated that the process will be finalized by early 2026.
