The U.K. government has signaled that banks are expected to offer fair access to crypto companies as it works to position the country as a leading global center for digital assets. HM Treasury said firms approved by the Financial Conduct Authority should not be denied banking services or face transaction limits simply because they operate in the crypto sector. The stance follows criticism from the U.K. Cryptoasset Business Council and Coinbase, which claim that several major banks continue to restrict or block millions of customers from using lawful, FCA-registered crypto platforms. This is happening even as the U.K.’s new crypto regulatory framework moves toward full rollout by 2027.

$BITCOIN dipped to around $88,400 at the start of the week, marking nearly a 4% weekly drop as broader crypto markets lost momentum. Its lag behind climbing stock markets and record-setting gold highlights bitcoin’s continued behavior as a risk-sensitive asset rather than a defensive hedge. With trading activity subdued, investors remain on the sidelines ahead of Wednesday’s Federal Reserve decision and major Big Tech earnings, both expected to shape bitcoin’s near-term direction.$BTC #bitcoin

$BITCOIN bounced back over 2% after dipping to around $86,000 on Sunday, but the recovery lost steam near the $88,250 level. Despite the short-term rebound, the overall market structure still reflects a downtrend, with prices forming lower highs and lower lows. In derivatives markets, futures open interest has leveled off and funding rates remain largely neutral. However, options activity and volatility indicators point to strong demand for near-term downside protection. Meanwhile, ether and XRP posted modest gains, while privacy-focused and metaverse-related tokens led the market. In low-liquidity conditions, the CoinDesk 80 index outperformed bitcoin-heavy benchmarks.#BitcoinForecast $BTC

$ETH $SOL and $ADA dip as bitcoin struggles to regain traction near $90,000 Stronger Asian equities and a softer dollar improved global risk sentiment, but crypto markets failed to capitalize after a turbulent week. Bitcoin hovered just under the $90,000 level during Asian trading hours on Friday, showing little follow-through after this week’s sharp, liquidation-led sell-off. Despite calmer conditions across global markets, the world’s largest cryptocurrency continues to struggle for direction. BTC traded around $89,800, largely flat on the day, as traders remained cautious following more than $1 billion in forced liquidations earlier in the week. While broader risk assets stabilized, crypto prices showed only limited signs of recovery. Asian stock markets climbed to fresh record highs, with the MSCI Asia Pacific Index extending gains and emerging-market equities continuing to outperform. U.S. equity futures also pointed higher ahead of the New York session, though advances were more muted compared with Asia. At the same time, the U.S. dollar remained under pressure after its recent slide, helping support commodities and keeping gold near the $5,000-per-ounce mark. This macro backdrop has improved overall market sentiment, but crypto assets have lagged behind.#ETHMarketWatch #Binance

$BITCOIN slipped under the $90,000 mark on Tuesday as a sudden turn toward risk aversion swept global markets, setting off over $1 billion in liquidations across leveraged crypto trades.

The downturn in crypto mirrored wider market turbulence, fueled by fresh tariff warnings from U.S. President Donald Trump and a sell-off in Japanese government bonds that drove global yields higher and weighed on risk-sensitive assets.#BitcoinForecast #bitcoin.” $BTC

Ethereum hits record on-chain activity, but analysts flag possible spam influence: Asia Morning Briefing Recent data shows Ethereum has reached new highs in on-chain transactions, though researchers caution that a large share of the increase may not reflect genuine user growth. Instead, the surge appears to be driven by address poisoning — a scam technique that uses low-cost “dust” transactions to clutter wallets and manipulate transaction histories — rather than a rise in organic network usage.$ETH
