1. Bitcoin Halving Aftermath:
The recent Bitcoin halving (April 2025) is still shaking the market. Miners' rewards were cut in half, leading to some miners selling Bitcoin to cover costs — causing slight selling pressure.
2. Regulatory Pressure:
The U.S. SEC hinted at stricter rules for crypto exchanges today, especially around staking services. This is making the market a bit nervous.
3. Altcoin Rally:
Some altcoins (like Solana, Chainlink, and Avalanche) are seeing mini-rallies because of increased development news and partnerships.
4. Stablecoin Regulation in Europe:
Europe introduced new stablecoin rules, which could shake up big players like USDT (Tether) and USDC if they don't comply fast.
5. Market Sentiment:
Overall sentiment is neutral to slightly bullish — investors are cautious but optimistic for a mid-year rally.
