🌐 CRYPTO SNAPSHOT: This week’s market-moving headlines 🔍 There’s a decoupling of crypto and equities this week. While a hawkish-leaning Fed minutes and newly released PCE data weakened #BTC’s resolve, the S&P 500 closed green, led by #NVIDIA. With inflation running at 2.8% YoY, policymakers signalled no urgency to cut rates, and didn’t rule out hikes if price pressures persist. #XRP’s early-week jump of almost 10% was one of the few bright spots, while institutional giants like #BlackRock and #BitMine continue to fortify their #ETH positions. Here’s what stood out as we hurtle towards the end-Feb deadline of the CLARITY Act discussions.

Since #Ethereum’s Aug 2025 peak, wallets holding more than 10,000 ETH have continued accumulating even as the price declined toward $2,000. Holdings among 10K to 100K ETH wallets increased 15% to 20.1 million ETH, while wallets with over 100K ETH grew balances by 34% to 3.7 million ETH as of Feb 7. By contrast, mid-sized holders reduced their exposure: balances dropped 15% among 100 to 1K ETH wallets and 16% within the 1K to 10K ETH cohort. 🔷 More about ETH https://lnkd.in/gmxb8Hd2

The regulatory tussle in the U.S. ended in a stalemate last week. A White House meeting on Tuesday aimed at resolving the stablecoin yield dispute ended without a deal, after banking representatives arrived with a “prohibition principles” document demanding a blanket ban on any form of yield or rewards for payment stablecoins — a stance crypto industry executives say is designed to protect bank deposits rather than foster competition. On a contrarian note, a Bernstein Research memo argued that the current sell-off is structurally different from prior downturns. There are no exchange collapses, balance sheet shocks, or contagion spreading from overleveraged platforms, in contrast to the late-2022 bear market. It reaffirmed its $150,000 bitcoin target by the end of 2026, calling it the "weakest bear case" in the asset's history. Social media discourses indicated that the nihilistic "bitcoin is dead" declarations that marked previous bear markets are conspicuously absent. The prevailing question is mostly “how low, and for how long?”

🌐 CRYPTO SNAPSHOT: This week’s market-moving headlines 🔍 Washington’s stablecoin talks ended in stalemate after banking groups pushed for a blanket ban on yield for payment stablecoins, leaving the CLARITY Act stuck in the Senate and regulatory certainty on ice. Markets offered little comfort. BTC hovered in the mid-$60Ks after slipping below $70K, ETH broke under $2,000, and dominance trends pointed to a defensive tilt as capital rotated away from alts. Here’s what stood out this week. With FOMC minutes looming on February 18, where do you think BTC and co are headed next?
