Bitcoin Rally Faces Major Warning

Episode notes
Bitcoin is holding close to $65,000, but Bitfinex analysts are warning that the latest rally may be relying on favourable economic conditions rather than genuine spot-market demand.
In today’s Daily Crypto Roundup, we examine whether Bitcoin’s recovery has enough strength to continue or whether a lack of institutional buying and persistent resistance near $68,000 could leave the market vulnerable to another rejection.
We also cover President Donald Trump’s White House meeting with senators as the CLARITY Act moves towards a possible Senate vote, with lawmakers still divided over political conflicts of interest, stablecoin rewards and protections for non-custodial developers.
Elsewhere, Galaxy Digital is targeting institutional stablecoin yield through new decentralized-finance vaults, Ledger has introduced technology allowing artificial-intelligence agents to help manage cryptocurrency without holding users’ private keys, and blockchain investigator ZachXBT has described current hardware wallets as “complete garbage.”
Finally, a dormant Bitcoin wallet has suddenly transferred approximately $383 million after remaining inactive for more than eight years—but the movement may not necessarily mean the owner is preparing to sell.
Bitcoin is showing resilience, but the latest rally still needs consistent spot buying, stronger ETF demand and a convincing move through resistance before investors can confidently call it a genuine breakout.
