The unwinding of popular strategies such as the yen carry trade in traditional markets have been adding to the selling pressure on bitcoin.
The yen carry-trade strategy involves borrowing the relatively low-yielding yen and investing in other currencies offering higher returns. According to Matt Maley, chief market strategist at Miller Tabak & Co, “Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are assets that tend to move with liquidity. When liquidity is more plentiful, cryptos rally, and when it’s less plentiful, they decline.” “Well, one of the best indicators for the level of liquidity in the system is the yen carry trade.” Source: zerohedge

US SENATE VOTING ON CLARITY ACT CANCELLED 🚨 Most people don't know the real reason behind this.
The Senate Banking Committee has pulled the vote on the Clarity Act after major pushback from the crypto industry, including Coinbase’s announcement that it won’t support the Crypto Market Structure Bill. Key points of concern: Stablecoin Yields Crushed The Act would ban interest payments on stablecoins, benefiting big banks by eliminating competition and protecting their deposit monopoly. Tokenized Equities Restricted Tokenized stocks would fall under the SEC’s strict securities rules, effectively blocking peer-to-peer or DeFi-style stock tokenization. Permissionless DeFi Threatened AML/KYC rules would require identity verification and monitoring, undermining DeFi’s core principles of anonymity and open access.
