๐Ÿ“ˆ For the first time in 45 weeks, Bitcoin closed above its 50-week moving average, finishing at $81.1K versus the SMA at roughly $78.8K. Alex Thorn of Galaxy Digital noted that across 13 previous bear-market recoveries to this level, only 2 were followed by new lows. In 4 of the past 5 cycles, Bitcoin had already formed its bottom by the time this breakout occurred, while 11 of the 13 cases ultimately led to a new high. The 200-week SMA, where BTC spent roughly 80 days during the summer, also acted as major downside support and held. โš ๏ธ Benjamin Cowen cautioned on September 21 that one weekly close above the 50-week SMA is not enough. The real test is whether Bitcoin can continue making higher highs and hold above the ~$78.8K level in the coming weeks. If momentum fades, the broader bear-market structure could remain intact. ๐Ÿ”Ž Coin22 is similarly treating the move as a rebound within a larger correction. Without sustained ETF inflows and a meaningful shift in the macro backdrop, any local rally may remain temporary.

Thank you to @EBlockchainCon, in particular Daniel Salmerรณn Victoria Gago Ha Anh Luu and to an incredible group of panelists for a thoughtful conversation on Crypto Hedge Funds: Surviving the Winter and Positioning for Whatโ€™s Next. We covered a lot more than hedge funds. ๐Ÿ“Š Market regimes: strategies that work in a bull market can break quickly when volatility, liquidity and correlations change. Adaptability matters. ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Risk management: survival comes first. Managing leverage, liquidity, counterparty exposure and drawdowns is what allows funds to compound through multiple cycles. ๐ŸŒ Tokenization: we discussed a future where potentially almost every asset class can exist on-chain, from securities and funds to credit, commodities and real-world assets. ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ U.S. regulation: despite the latest setback for the CLARITY Act, we discussed why comprehensive market-structure legislation is likely to remain a major industry priority. ๐Ÿ“ˆ Perpetual futures: the expansion of regulated perpetual products in the U.S. could bring new participants, liquidity and institutional infrastructure into one of cryptoโ€™s largest derivatives markets. ๐Ÿฆ Banks are coming on-chain: stablecoins are only part of the story. Tokenized deposits and blockchain-based settlement could become increasingly important infrastructure for traditional financial institutions. My biggest takeaway: cryptoโ€™s next chapter is becoming less about crypto operating outside the financial system and more about the convergence of digital assets, capital markets and banking infrastructure. The future is bright and we are in mild spring instead of winter :) Special thank you to my dear friend Stuart MacDonald and my dear panelist Christopher Robin Siedentopf, Marc de Kloe, Ryan Ebner, CFA, Eron Angjele and George Zarya for sharing the stage and the perspectives. And thank you Barcelona ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ธ and #EBC2026 for bringing the industry together.
