SEC launches Project Crypto to transform the US crypto market

Whales continue to accumulate Bitcoin

Analysts from CryptoQuant and Santiment report active BTC accumulation by large holders. Specifically, addresses holding between 10–10,000 BTC have increased their balances by 218,570 coins over the past few months and now control 68.44% of the supply. This could indicate preparations for another market peak.

Kursoff's opinion

This week showed that the crypto market has entered a phase of major transformations. Regulators are clearing the way for institutions, large players are accumulating assets, and the community is working on trust. Ukraine is building its own strong niche in this context. The next wave of growth will be not just global, but also local — with real Ukrainian products among the world’s leaders.
