CRYPTO MARKET JUST SECURED ITS BIGGEST WIN OF 2026
The SEC has changed the rules, which forced Wall Street to need $2 million in capital to hold $1 million in stablecoins.
TradFi broker dealers must follow capital rules. When they hold an asset, they must set aside capital based on how risky regulators think that asset is.
Stablecoins were being treated with a 100% haircut. That means if a broker dealer held $1M in stablecoins, regulators treated that entire $1M as unusable for capital purposes. To stay compliant, the firm effectively had to keep another $1M of its own capital locked up.
So holding $1M in stablecoins locked up about $2M of balance sheet capacity. That made stablecoins inefficient and unattractive for regulated institutions.
Now, the SEC clarified the haircut should be 2%, similar to money market funds.
Now firms only need to set aside a small buffer instead of freezing the full amount. This is a major shift.
Broker dealers can now hold stablecoins without damaging their capital ratios.
They can use stablecoins for settlement, collateral transfers, tokenized treasuries, and other on chain transactions without a massive capital penalty.
And this is where crypto benefits.
If stablecoins are balance sheet friendly, institutions can actually integrate them into daily operations. More usage means more demand.
More demand strengthens the role of stablecoins as core financial infrastructure. Stablecoins are the bridge between traditional finance and crypto markets.
Wall Street can hold and use them efficiently, adoption accelerates. And it'll lower the biggest barrier that was keeping stablecoins out of institutional finance.

XRP continua a posizionarsi attorno a utility transfrontaliere + binari istituzionali. La leva non è surriscaldata, la struttura appare più sana rispetto ai picchi precedenti. La zona di domanda di $1.4x è stata fondamentale. Riconquistare e mantenere $2.80+ e il momentum cambia di nuovo in rialzo. La forza selettiva degli alt favorisce le narrazioni di chiarezza normativa — XRP si adatta a quel tema se il volume conferma. Stabilizzazione prima. Espansione dopo. Rialzista sopra la resistenza? 🚀 #xrp #altcoins
Mentre il mercato si raffredda, LINK continua a costruire sotto la superficie. I saldi degli scambi rimangono relativamente stabili, nessuna distribuzione aggressiva — vibrazioni di accumulo tranquille. Tecnicamente compressi al di sotto della resistenza con minimi più alti che si formano. Se Total3 si espande del 30–40%, i giochi infrastrutturali come LINK storicamente guidano le onde di rotazione. Gli oracoli alimentano DeFi, RWAs, automazione — quella domanda non scompare. Mantenere il supporto = costruttivo. Rottura = gamba di espansione. Impilare prima che la liquidità ritorni? 👀 #Chainlink #LINK #Altseason
BULLA is aligning with the broader bearish trend as price reacts within a defined supply zone, showing limited upside follow-through. The 4H structure suggests the move higher is corrective, while lower timeframe momentum reflects persistent weakness rather than accumulation.
Momentum indicators highlight fading buying pressure, with RSI hovering near weak territory instead of signaling a strong reversal. This behavior often indicates that rallies are being sold into, reinforcing the sell-the-rip narrative.
As long as 0.0270 remains protected as the invalidation level, the setup favors continued downside progression toward the projected targets.
