Looking ahead to 2026, two macro factors deserve close attention. First, escalating geopolitical tensions could reignite interest in alternative stores of value—this dynamic has historically supported demand for assets outside traditional financial systems. Second, concrete regulatory momentum is building: the Senate is slated to mark up crypto market-structure legislation on January 15, signaling serious movement on legislative frameworks that could reshape how digital assets trade and settle. These policy developments warrant watching closely as they may materially influence market structure and investor positioning in the months ahead.

The geopolitical situation is heating up, and this wave could indeed give Bitcoin a boost... The Senate hearing on January 15th is the real highlight; regulation is coming, and the landscape of the crypto world is about to change.

The geopolitical part is a bit vague; the real driving force is regulation. I kept a close eye on the hearing on January 15th.

The geopolitical situation is heating up, is the crypto world about to take off again? Speaking of which, can the bill on January 15 really be pushed forward? It feels like we've heard about major reforms too many times...

Geopolitical tensions heat up + regulation implementation, this duet really needs to be watched closely. The hearing on January 15th feels like a watershed moment. --- Speaking of which, the old story of alternative value storage is overused, but this time it's different... Is it true or false? --- Will the regulatory framework reshape trading methods? Our group of retail investors will have to tinker with their wallets again haha. --- Honestly, the geopolitical card is more effective than anything else; history just keeps repeating itself. --- January 15th will be like this — either positive, negative, or nothing at all. It's so cliché. --- When policies come, the trend changes. Where is the promised decentralization? --- Enjoy the show, anyway I’ve already missed the boat, so no matter how I operate, I won’t lose.
