Overview
Over the past 24 hours, crypto markets have oscillated between recovery and hesitation. Bitcoin’s rebound and a reported pickup in ETF flows arrived as US policy progress appeared to stall, while broader trading activity and sentiment cooled after an active week of lawmaking debate in Washington. The throughline across posts is not a single catalyst, but a market recalibrating to shifting expectations around US crypto legislation and regulatory direction.
