Altcoins also in the red

Bitcoin was hardly alone in its losses, as nearly all of the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market cap were also in the red. Solana (SOL) fell nearly 3.5%, while Cardano (ADA) was down 2.2%. Ethereum (ETH) and XRP also declined 1% and 1.75%, respectively. The only exception at the time of writing was Tron (TRX), which remained up 1.5% in the past 24 hours.

XRP appears to be under especially heavy pressure, though, as analysts warn a deeper slide toward $2 is likely. The pessimistic outlook comes after a week-long selling spree that erased billions from its value.

Overall, the crypto market sentiment has turned markedly bearish. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index has plunged from a “Greed” level of 71 last Friday to “Fear” at 32 at press time. The reading is thus similar to that seen in April, when the asset dropped to as low as $74,000.

Adding to market jitters, a long-dormant Bitcoin wallet moved 2,000 BTC (worth some $222 million) across 51 new addresses on Thursday, sparking speculation among traders. Similarly, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw $94 million in outflows on Wednesday, reducing total net inflows to $62.45 billion.

UK crypto holders brace for FCA’s expanded regulatory reach

The post UK crypto holders brace for FCA’s expanded regulatory reach appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. British crypto holders may soon face a very different landscape as the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) moves to expand its regulatory reach in the industry. A new consultation paper outlines how the watchdog intends to apply its rulebook to crypto firms, shaping everything from asset safeguarding to trading platform operation. According to the financial regulator, these proposals would translate into clearer protections for retail investors and stricter oversight of crypto firms. UK FCA plans Until now, UK crypto users mostly encountered the FCA through rules on promotions and anti-money laundering checks. The consultation paper goes much further. It proposes direct oversight of stablecoin issuers, custodians, and crypto-asset trading platforms (CATPs). For investors, that means the wallets, exchanges, and coins they rely on could soon be subject to the same governance and resilience standards as traditional financial institutions. The regulator has also clarified that firms need official authorization before serving customers. This condition should, in theory, reduce the risk of sudden platform failures or unclear accountability. David Geale, the FCA’s executive director of payments and digital finance, said the proposals are designed to strike a balance between innovation and protection. He explained: “We want to develop a sustainable and competitive crypto sector – balancing innovation, market integrity and trust.” Geale noted that while the rules will not eliminate investment risks, they will create consistent standards, helping consumers understand what to expect from registered firms. Why does this matter for crypto holders? The UK regulatory framework shift would provide safer custody of assets, better disclosure of risks, and clearer recourse if something goes wrong. However, the regulator was also frank in its submission, arguing that no rulebook can eliminate the volatility or inherent risks of holding digital assets. Instead, the focus is on ensuring that when consumers choose to invest, they do…
