<p>The crypto markets, led by Bitcoin, have experienced a sharp decline recently, sparking debates about the trajectory of this asset class. While some analysts view it as a typical market correction, others warn of potential downward pressure due to factors like the launch of Bitcoin ETFs and waning demand from new buyers. However, data suggests that 86% of the Bitcoin supply remains in profit, indicating a strong hodling sentiment among investors.</p>
<p>A significant milestone was reached in February when 99% of the Bitcoin supply was in profit for the first time since November 2021. This flush-out of paper hands could signal a more stable holding period, as most investors are now in the "HODL zone." Nevertheless, regulatory scrutiny from the SEC and CFTC is intensifying, with crypto firms bracing for increased enforcement actions and potential fines.</p>

<p>The SEC's stance on Ethereum has raised concerns, as the agency appears to have reclassified Ether as a security without public disclosure. This move could potentially hinder the growth of the Ethereum ecosystem and its impact on the banking landscape. Additionally, the SEC's stance on crypto wallets like MetaMask and Coinbase, labeling them as unregistered broker-dealers, has set a dangerous precedent for the industry.</p>
<p>Major banks like Bank of America and Wells Fargo have started offering spot Bitcoin ETFs to clients, signaling a growing interest in crypto assets from traditional finance. While their current holdings may be small, it could mark the beginning of a broader strategy to position themselves in the digital asset markets. This trend could accelerate as the M2 money supply shows positive movement, potentially fueling the next crypto bull run.</p>
<p>Amidst these developments, the upcoming U.S. elections could significantly impact the crypto markets, regardless of the winning party. Historically, election campaigns have promised new spending initiatives, often funded through borrowing and money printing – factors that could potentially drive investors towards alternative assets like cryptocurrencies. However, the current administration's stance on crypto remains largely anti-business and anti-innovation, underscoring the importance of voter participation in shaping the regulatory landscape.</p>
