• The total on-chain value of tokenized stocks increased by 395% from $640 million to $3.16 billion between September 2025 and September 2026, marking them as the second-fastest-growing real-world asset category.

FinCEN Withdraws Rules Targeting Crypto Wallets and Mixers

• FinCEN rescinded two proposed rules targeting self-custody wallets and crypto mixers, citing the Trump administration's deregulation agenda.
• The withdrawn rules would have required banks to report and verify identities for transactions over $10,000 involving unhosted wallets and imposed strict reporting on crypto mixing activities.
• The Crypto Council for Innovation praised the withdrawals as beneficial for the digital asset ecosystem, while legal pressures on privacy-focused crypto services continue, exemplified by the sentencing of Samourai Wallet co-founders for illegal transactions.

Trump’s $5,000 Checks Could Send Billions Into Bitcoin and Crypto: But There’s a Catch

• President Trump has promised a $5,000 "dividend" to every adult US citizen if Republicans maintain control of Congress, which could potentially inject billions into Bitcoin and other digital assets.
• Analyst Crypto Rover estimates that even a small percentage of this liquidity could lead to $60 billion-$130 billion entering the crypto market, given the current market's improved capacity to absorb retail capital.
• Significant political and economic hurdles remain, including skepticism from some Republicans and the need for congressional approval, making the distribution of these payments uncertain.

Bitcoin Price Analysis: Is BTC Running Out of Steam After Another Rejection at $87K?

• Bitcoin is currently trading around $85.2K, approaching the $86K–$90K resistance zone, with buyers facing significant barriers to further gains despite a resilient demand structure.
• The 4-hour chart indicates an ascending triangle pattern, with a confirmed breakout above $87.3K potentially leading to a move towards $89K–$90K, while losing support around $84.5K–$85K could trigger deeper corrections.
• On-chain analysis shows that while shorter-term holders are in unrealized profit, the price remains below the realized prices of longer-term holders, suggesting potential selling pressure as Bitcoin nears the $88K–$90K resistance area.
