Cryptonews says the BTC is “bloqué dans la même fourchette” and quotes Crypto Patel saying the analysis shows “le BTC se négocie en dessous du bloc d’ordre baissier 1 à 76 000 $ – 79 000 $. ”

In the same Cryptonews piece, Crypto Patel lays out two scenarios, warning that if the price does not clear 76 000 $ à 79 000 $, “un nouveau plus bas sous les 50 000 $ pourrait être atteint.”

Cryptonews also links the market debate to storage security, arguing that “Les ordinateurs quantiques briseront cette protection” and positioning BMIC as a “premier portefeuille numérique natif quantique sans aucune exposition de clé publique.”

Fidelity Investments is launching the Fidelity Reserves Digital Fund, a money market fund for stablecoin issuers and institutional investors under the reserve requirements established by the GENIUS Act, on Thursday.

CoinDesk quotes Fidelity’s fixed-income head Robin Foley saying, “Fidelity has a longstanding history in fixed income and money markets, making us uniquely positioned to offer a money market fund for stablecoin issuers that is compliant with the new GENIUS-Act legislation,” in a statement.

The same CoinDesk report says stablecoins have grown into a roughly $320 billion market and that industry forecasts cited by State Street project the sector could expand to between $1.9 trillion and $4 trillion by 2030.

CoinDesk also notes that the GENIUS Act, signed into law last year, established the first federal framework for payment stablecoins in the United States, requiring issuers to hold reserves in cash, short-term Treasury securities and certain government money market funds.

A separate CoinDesk report frames Bitcoin layer-2s as facing a “bear-market reality check,” pointing to Botanix winding down operations after concluding that programmable Bitcoin “did not work” in the current market.

“Fidelity Investments is the latest Wall Street firm seeking a role in one of the fastest-growing corners of digital assets: managing the reserves that back stablecoins”

CoinDesk quotes the Botanix team’s shutdown message: “It did not work,” and adds “At least not in this market and not in this timeline.”

The article contrasts that outcome with builders arguing bitcoin-backed lending, staking and yield still have demand, and it cites DefiLlama figures showing Ethereum with around $39 billion in total value locked while Bitcoin’s onchain DeFi activity sits at less than $5 billion.

In the same CoinDesk piece, David Tse of Babylon says the problem with many Bitcoin layer-2 projects is that they are “trying to bootstrap a brand new economy,” while Babylon aims to bring bitcoin into existing liquid markets such as Ethereum DeFi, with Tse saying “We're bringing bitcoin to Ethereum as the first use case.”
