[BTC profitability metric nears 2022 low as new whales show just 6.3% gains]

A long-term indicator tracking Bitcoin holders’ profitability is approaching its lowest level since November 2022, according to crypto analyst Amr Taha.

CryptoPotato explained there is a key difference from November 2022: Bitcoin was trading at around $16,000 then, versus roughly $81,000 now. The outlet said large-scale investors that have recently made sizable purchases have an average cost basis of $77,120, meaning that if BTC is currently at $82,000, their returns are only about 6.3%. By contrast, the average realized price based on Binance deposit addresses is about $64,200, leaving a wider gap with the current price. That suggests recently entered whale investors may be more vulnerable to price declines and less able to hold through drawdowns than existing holders.

Domingo said tokenization offers benefits including greater stock liquidity, improved future fundraising conditions, 24-hour trading and stronger direct communication with shareholders. When working with listed companies, Domingo added, the practical benefit of expanding investor access should be emphasized rather than the term tokenization itself.

[JPMorgan says regulators are softening Clarity Act setback, but uncertainty remains]

JPMorgan said U.S. regulators are partly offsetting the negative impact of the Clarity Act’s defeat, but more durable long-term regulation is still needed, The Block reported.

According to a report by a research team led by JPMorgan analyst Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou, regulator-led measures could, in the short term, encourage institutional investor participation in the crypto ecosystem. Over the longer term, however, the team said only legislation can provide a more robust foundation. Without related legislation, political and legal risks still remain, it added, noting the market currently has to rely on regulatory measures that could be reversed within two years if a Democratic candidate wins the White House.

[Ki Young Ju says AI bubble burst may have limited impact on BTC]

CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju said Bitcoin is unlikely to take a major hit even if the artificial intelligence, or AI, bubble bursts.

In a post on X, Ki said Bitcoin had been largely left out of the AI-driven rally, adding investors who bought AI-related stocks may already have sold their Bitcoin. Ki said capital could now move back into Bitcoin, while noting an AI market collapse would not necessarily be either bullish or bearish for Bitcoin because the two markets appear unrelated.
