According to Bits.media, Ivan Chebeskov, Deputy Minister of Finance of Russia, stated that the final version of the government’s cryptocurrency market regulation bill will retain the prohibition on transfers from locally hosted wallets to unhosted wallets abroad, with more lenient conditions applicable only to participants in foreign trade activities. Officials noted that after the bill formally enters into force, authorities may explore use cases for certain unhosted wallets within an experimental framework; however, related discussions remain ongoing. The final version of the bill is expected to be completed next week and is likely to complete the legislative process before the end of the current State Duma’s spring session. Under the bill, starting July 2026, individuals and enterprises in Russia will only be permitted to legally purchase digital assets through licensed brokers, trust managers, or exchanges registered with the Central Bank of Russia, while access to foreign cryptocurrency platforms complying with sanctions against Russia will be restricted.

According to The Block, JPMorgan analysts noted in their latest report that tokenized money market funds currently account for only about 5% of the stablecoin market size and are expected to continue growing—but unless there is a significant shift in the regulatory environment, they are unlikely to surpass a market share ceiling of 10%–15%. The analysts believe stablecoins remain the preferred cash instrument in the crypto ecosystem due to their widespread use in trading, settlement, cross-border payments, and liquidity management. In contrast, tokenized money market funds—classified as securities—are subject to structural regulatory disadvantages, including requirements for registration, disclosure, and transfer restrictions, making them difficult to circulate freely within on-chain ecosystems. Although the U.S. SEC has introduced streamlined processes for issuing on-chain money market funds, JPMorgan analysts view this as only a “marginal improvement,” insufficient to fundamentally alter the market dynamics between these two asset classes.

analysts from CryptoQuant have pointed out that, based on a comprehensive review of multiple miner indicators, Bitcoin miners have not yet exhibited behavioral characteristics that "confirm a market bottom," and are currently in a phase of waiting and cautious adjustment. Meanwhile, the Miner Position Index (MPI) remains in negative territory, indicating that current selling intensity is below historical averages. Miners are not in a panic-selling phase but are engaging in "passive selling" primarily to maintain cash flow, suggesting that the probability of an extreme short-term decline is relatively limited. Additionally, the Puell Multiple remains below 1, further indicating that miner revenues are at historically weak levels, and overall profitability is under pressure. However, the strong accumulation behavior typically seen at cycle bottoms has not yet appeared.The analysis suggests that miners are currently in a "waiting phase," having neither triggered a capitulation-style sell-off nor entered an active accumulation cycle. This resembles a typical transitional state before a market bottom forms. Overall, while selling pressure from miners has eased, on-chain structures still show short-term supply pressure exists. Bitcoin is expected to continue its range-bound consolidation pattern, and market sentiment is likely to remain cautious in the near term.

Odaily Bitcoin fell below $78,000 on Thursday, with growing concerns over the sustainability of any rebound. Data shows that Bitcoin spot ETFs have recorded net outflows for four consecutive trading days, while approximately $584 million in long liquidations earlier this week continues to suppress market risk appetite. Analysts suggest that until on-chain spot demand recovers, BTC will still struggle to firmly hold above $80,000 in the short term.The pressure on the Ethereum market is even more pronounced. The ETH spot ETF saw net outflows of $28.1 million on the day, marking eight consecutive trading days of withdrawals. Since May 7, ETH ETFs have seen cumulative outflows of approximately $504 million over nine trading days, the most severe sustained capital exodus since February this year.In the derivatives market, total crypto futures liquidation volume reached approximately $657 million this Monday, with long liquidations accounting for $584 million, the largest single-day long squeeze event since early February. The current Bitcoin open interest has fallen about 14% from its May 6 peak, but the overall leverage structure has not yet been fully reset.On-chain data also leans bearish. Glassnode indicates that Bitcoin's previous rebound to $82,000 briefly reclaimed the key level of $78,300, the "realized market average," but has since fallen back below it. Historical cycles suggest that BTC typically needs to consolidate in this range for weeks to months to confirm a structural shift between bull and bear markets.Additionally, Glassnode data shows that Bitcoin's spot CVD (Cumulative Volume Delta) has been negative for nine consecutive trading days, marking the longest net selling cycle since 2026. Meanwhile, BTC's hourly spot trading volume has declined about 40% compared to the same period in 2025. Analysis indicates that U.S. investors have been consistently distributing their holdings since Q4 2025, while Asian capital has shifted to accumulation.The options market is also signaling caution. The BTC short-term 25-delta skew has risen from 2.7% to 6.2%, indicating a significant increase in market demand for downside protection. A large gamma short position of approximately $2.5 billion is concentrated around the $75,000 strike price. Should BTC fall back to this area, hedging by market makers could further amplify volatility.In the altcoin market, the sector is largely following BTC, with Bitcoin's dominance remaining around 60%. However, Hyperliquid and Zcash have bucked the trend with double-digit gains, suggesting selective rotation by some capital. (The Block)
