In their latest report, "Charting Crypto: Q1 2026," Coinbase's institutional research division and on-chain analytics firm Glassnode noted that Bitcoin is exhibiting more stable and resilient market characteristics. The report argues that the Q4 2025 correction has largely cleared excess leverage from the market, reducing Bitcoin's sensitivity to cascading liquidations and making it more resilient to macroeconomic shocks. The report states that the current market is not a return to a high-leverage speculative cycle, but rather a gradual shift towards a "macroeconomically sensitive asset," with its price more influenced by global liquidity, institutional positioning, and portfolio rebalancing. Unlike previous cycles dominated by retail momentum and high-leverage trading, the current market structure is more restrained, with institutional investors favoring defensive allocations. Researchers point out that the crypto market will be healthier overall entering 2026, with a relatively stable macroeconomic environment and supportive monetary policy expectations. The report also mentions that Coinbase's self-built global M2 money supply index historically leads Bitcoin prices by approximately 110 days, and this indicator remains positively correlated in the current quarter, suggesting short-term support for Bitcoin, although subsequent liquidity growth may slow. Furthermore, the report shows that open interest in Bitcoin options has surpassed that of perpetual contracts, indicating that investors are more inclined to purchase downside protection rather than continue leveraging to bet on directional market movements, reflecting a more cautious market risk appetite.

South Dakota Representative Logan Manhart reintroduced the Bitcoin Reserve Bill HB 1155 in the state legislature on Tuesday. The bill is largely consistent with its 2025 version, which was shelved, with only minor revisions. The bill proposes amending state law to allow the South Dakota Investment Board to allocate up to 10% of its public funds to Bitcoin. Manhart posted on the X platform, "Strong money, strong state." If the bill passes the legislature and is signed by the governor, South Dakota will join the few U.S. states that allow state-level investment or holding of Bitcoin. Currently, only Texas, Arizona, and New Hampshire have passed similar legislation, and other states are proposing similar proposals. (Cointelegraph)

In a recent article, BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes analyzed that the recent continuous depreciation of the yen and the decline in Japanese government bond prices are causing "unusual noises" in global financial markets. He believes that the Federal Reserve and the US Treasury may be forced to join forces to directly intervene in the yen exchange rate and the Japanese government bond market by expanding their balance sheets, thereby injecting new liquidity into the global fiat currency system. Hayes speculated that potential pathways might include: the New York Fed creating dollar reserves, instructing primary dealers such as JPMorgan Chase to sell dollars and buy yen in the foreign exchange market to support the exchange rate, and allocating some funds to Japanese government bonds to suppress yields. This move would increase the size of "foreign currency-denominated assets" on the Fed's balance sheet, essentially equivalent to absorbing the risks of the yen exchange rate and Japanese government bond interest rates through "money printing." He pointed out that the core objective of such operations is to stabilize the yen, curb the rise in Japanese government bond yields, prevent Japanese funds from massively selling US Treasury bonds and flowing back to Japan, thereby avoiding an uncontrolled rise in US Treasury yields and, to some extent, enhancing the competitiveness of US exports. At the same time, global dollar liquidity will increase accordingly, and the exchange rates of currencies such as the euro and the renminbi may also passively strengthen. Arthur Hayes emphasized that this "disguised quantitative easing"—not traditional QE—may ultimately be a medium- to long-term positive for risk assets, including Bitcoin. Regarding trading, he stated that a rapid strengthening of the yen is usually a signal of pressure on risk assets; therefore, he will not rashly increase his risk exposure before confirming that the Federal Reserve has officially intervened in the yen and Japanese government bond markets through quantitative easing. He revealed that he has temporarily closed positions in highly leveraged Bitcoin-related assets such as Strategy and Metaplanet; if his assessment is verified, he will re-enter the market. While awaiting policy clarity, his fund, Maelstrom, continues to increase its holdings of Zcash, while maintaining its positions in other high-quality DeFi tokens; once the Federal Reserve confirms quantitative easing intervention, he will consider increasing his holdings in DeFi assets such as ENA, ETHFI, Pendle, and LDO.
