#我在Gate广场过新年 Impact of Cryptocurrency Regulation on the Market: Short-term Pain and Long-term Regulation
1. Short-term Market Volatility
The introduction of regulatory policies has caused significant shocks to the cryptocurrency market. On February 6, 2026, Bitcoin plummeted over 12% in a single day, breaking the $60,000 psychological barrier and reaching a low of $60,062, marking a 16-month low. Compared to the peak of $126,000 on October 6, 2025, Bitcoin's price has fallen by over 48%, nearly halving, completely erasing all gains since Trump’s victory in 2024.
2. Industry Cleanup and Compliance Development
Stricter regulations have removed key policy anchors from the market, triggering panic selling. However, in the long run, the implementation of regulatory policies will help with industry cleanup and compliant development. Those “air coins” lacking practical application scenarios and relying solely on hype will gradually be eliminated by the market, while truly valuable blockchain technologies and projects will see better development.
3. Increased Institutional Participation
With clearer regulatory policies and the establishment of compliance frameworks, institutional investors’ participation in cryptocurrencies will gradually increase. Pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, Blackstone, and other traditional institutions will gradually incorporate crypto assets into their long-term asset allocation portfolios, bringing more capital and liquidity to the crypto market.
