The Bitcoin price is under increasing pressure ahead of Wednesday’s Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, which has historically corresponded with big price movements in the market’s largest cryptocurrency. Rate Cut Odds Fade The Federal Reserve (Fed) is widely expected to leave interest rates unchanged at this meeting.

Crypto Laundering On Centralized Exchanges Declines: Report
The use of centralized crypto exchanges for laundering illicit funds is on the decline, with Chinese-language money laundering networks now being used more than ever, according to Chainalysis. Chainalysis said in a report on Tuesday that informal service-based networks offered through Chinese-speaking channels have a wide variety of laundering-as-a-service businesses that use money mules, informal over-the-counter trade desks, and gambling platforms to mix and swap crypto. The networks emerged during the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020, and now “dominate known crypto money laundering activity.” Centralized crypto exchanges…

Liquidity Cycle May Be The Longest On Record
Crypto analyst Matt Hughes is arguing the global liquidity cycle is stretching well beyond its usual rhythm and that the extension is precisely why staying structurally bearish on crypto has been so punishing since 2020. Hughes, who posts as “The Great Mattsby,” said Monday that the cycle is “now ~6 years strong post-2020 with no clear peak in sight as of early 2026,” framing the move as something closer to a super-cycle than a standard 4–6 year expansion. What This Means For The Crypto Market Hughes’ core claim is that…
Fed Money Printing For Japan Good For Bitcoin: Arthur Hayes
Bitcoin could break out of its “sideways funk” if the United States central bank attempts to support a failing Japanese bond market by printing money, according to BitMEX founder Arthur Hayes. Hayes proposed a theory on Wednesday about how the Federal Reserve “could be printing money to manipulate the yen and JGB [Japanese government bond] markets.” Japan faces a dual crisis: the yen is weakening while Japanese government bond yields are rising simultaneously, signaling a potential loss of market confidence.
