🚀 U.S. to Strengthen GENIUS Act Regulations by 2026, Says Former Nasdaq Executive

According to ChainCatcher, former Nasdaq Digital Assets head Ira Auerbach has indicated that the United States is set to enhance the regulatory framework of the GENIUS Act by 2026. This development is expected to benefit stablecoin issuers who previously relied on offshore regulatory systems, as relocating reserves and operations back to the U.S. will offer significant advantages.

Auerbach also mentioned that some retirement plan providers are considering testing a small allocation of 0.5% to 1% in cryptocurrencies within target-date funds and balanced funds. This move could potentially generate stable demand linked to market cycles.

🚀 Bitcoin's RSI Hits Three-Year Low Amid Price Decline

According to Odaily, Bitcoin's Relative Strength Index (RSI) has reached an extremely 'oversold' state, marking its lowest level in nearly three years. The cryptocurrency has fallen 36% from its all-time high of $126,000 to $80,500, significantly impacting the RSI on higher time frames. On the weekly chart, the RSI has dropped from a local high of 64 in September to the current level of 35. This level was last seen in January 2023, when Bitcoin was trading between $15,500 and $17,000. Analyst Jelle noted that historically, when the weekly RSI hits this level, it is worth paying attention as it may indicate either a nearing bottom or a potential for further significant declines.

🚀 Polish Parliament Advances Crypto Asset Market Bill Despite Presidential Veto

According to ChainCatcher, the Polish Sejm has once again passed the Crypto Asset Market Bill, previously vetoed by President Karol Nawrocki, and forwarded it to the Senate for further review. On Thursday, the bill received approval from 241 members of parliament, maintaining the same content as the version that was vetoed. The legislation aims to align Polish law with the European Union's Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA). However, critics argue that it exceeds EU standards by granting extensive enforcement powers to the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (KNF), including website blocking and imposing fines amounting to millions of zloty.

President Nawrocki had vetoed the bill citing concerns over vague legal terms, excessive regulation, and high compliance costs, warning that certain provisions could harm small businesses and enable "one-click" domain shutdowns. Despite opposition, Prime Minister Donald Tusk's government resubmitted the bill without any amendments. Following Senate review, the bill may face another presidential veto.

According to Odaily, Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan expressed an optimistic outlook for the development of cryptocurrency ETFs, noting that some major brokerage firms are beginning to enter the market. He anticipates that 2026 will be a record-breaking year for crypto ETF inflows. The recent downturn in the crypto market is attributed to two main factors: investors selling off in anticipation of the four-year cycle and the impact of the October 11 market crash. Once these negative influences dissipate, the market is expected to rebound. As tokenization and institutional adoption become key price drivers, the cryptocurrency market is projected to mature and develop based on its fundamentals.
