Crypto VC returns have been declining since 2022, the number of new funds is at a 5 year low, and total capital raised is only 12% of the 2022 peak. Most of the money being deployed now was actually raised back in 2022

The model of raise a round → launch a token → dump on retail is slowly dying

As VC influence fades, the market may shift toward projects with real users, real revenue, and fairer launch structures

Former U.S. President Donald Trump stated that a comprehensive crypto market structure bill in the United States could be approved soon a move that may mark a major shift in the regulatory landscape for digital assets

What does the bill aim to address?

Clear division of regulatory oversight between U.S. agencies
Defined compliance standards for exchanges and intermediaries
Legal clarity on crypto asset classification
Reduced regulatory overlap and conflict
Why does this matter?
For years, the U.S. crypto market has operated under significant regulatory uncertainty, impacting:

Institutional investment decisions
Launch of new financial products
Growth and expansion of crypto startups

Analysts believe that passing a unified market structure framework could lead to:

✅ Reduced regulatory uncertainty

✅ Increased institutional capital inflows

✅ Stronger U.S. positioning as a global digital asset hub

✅ Innovation supported by clear legal boundaries

If enacted, this legislation could signal the beginning of a new phase of institutional maturity for the crypto market

The key question:

Could this be the spark for the next institutional-driven bull cycle?

The biggest change of the past few years isn’t demand, not ETFs, not macro. It’s market structure. The options layer has become so deep that it has rewritten the mechanics of price movement
Bitcoin used to run on pure reflexivity. Spot buying and perpetuals fueled momentum. Price went up, shorts got liquidated, market makers chased the move, and those vertical “God candles” appeared. The rally fed itself
Now there’s a massive shock absorber in the system options
When market makers sell calls, they hedge delta. Price rises they sell spot or futures. The higher the market goes, the more mechanical supply comes in. Upside gets capped not by opinion, but by algorithm
At the same time, large holders realized they don’t need to wait for the moon to extract value. Selling covered calls became standard. A structural overhang of calls formed at psychological strikes. As price approaches those levels, gamma hedging kicks in, sell flows appear, and a ceiling forms
#BTC shifted from a convex speculative asset into a yield instrument. The scaling of options on the iShares Bitcoin Trust made that fully visible
Looking at the progression of limits:
🛑 Late 2024 - approval, 25,000 contract limit
🛑 Mid 2025 - expansion to 250,000. 10x growth. Scalable covered call and vol-selling strategies become viable
🛑 Late 2025 - proposal to increase to 1,000,000 contracts. Near parity with major ETFs
🛑 Early 2026 - removal of special restrictions. Full integration into standard derivatives infrastructure
Each step expanded capacity for:
🛑 Call selling
🛑 Basis trades: long spot / short futures
🛑 Systematic volatility harvesting
🛑 Structured yield products
If you look at options volume distribution, it’s clear that after ETF derivatives launched, institutional flow began to dominate. The market stopped being one-dimensional. Price is no longer just belief. It’s gamma positioning, volatility supply, and hedge flows from large players
Momentum hasn’t disappeared. It’s been redistributed. Before, energy flowed into exponential growth. Now it flows into yield
#BTC has entered its institutional phase. Volatility management matters more than direction. By definition, that suppresses the explosive reflexivity that once made cycles vertical
And the past few weeks showed another side of financialization. When the market gets overloaded with options positioning, moves don’t accelerate - they break. Not moonshots, but cascading gamma unwinds
Crypto didn’t vanish. It became part of the system. And the system now smooths out what used to rip through charts

Classic structure
First phase - aggressive markdown inside a clean descending channel. Lower highs, controlled sell pressure, no real bid stepping in
Then the shift
Price compresses at the bottom of the range around $5.8–6.2. Volatility contracts. Sellers stop pushing. That flat base isn’t random - it’s absorption. Supply gets chewed through while everyone calls it dead
Now we’re seeing early expansion out of accumulation. Higher lows forming. Momentum flipping. Structure breaking the local range ceiling
If this Wyckoff transition plays out fully:
- Phase C spring already in
- Phase D markup begins
- Channel reclaim = fuel
Measured move from the base projects toward $13–18 - roughly 2.5–3x from the range lows
The key is simple: as long as the accumulation low holds, bias remains expansion
Compression → expansion.
That’s the game

4H chart tells the whole story
Clear downtrend. Lower highs, steady bleed, full seller dominance inside the red channel
Then price stops dumping around the $30–32 zone strong reaction level, multiple bounces. That’s where the shift started
What changed?
- Downside momentum faded
- Structure stopped printing lower lows
- Compression under resistance turned into expansion
The breakout above the short term supply flipped the narrative. What used to be resistance became fuel
Now price is riding a clean ascending channel with momentum building
If buyers keep defending higher lows, the $60–70 area becomes realistic not hopium, structure
Key level to watch: reclaim holds above the breakout zone
Lose that, and it turns into another fake move
Hold it and $DASH enters a completely different phase
Market gave the signal
Now it’s about follow through
