Bitcoin edged lower, Ethereum edged lower, and gold coins retreated. Regulatory dynamics and institutional layout have become the focus, and the market is waiting for guidance from CPI data.
The overall market risk appetite fell slightly today, with both Bitcoin and Ethereum falling slightly, but the decline was limited. Gold coins fell on a stronger dollar and risk sentiment. In terms of regulation, the ban in a small town in New York State has raised concerns about the expansion of encryption mining and AI data centers, while CFTC personnel appointments are pending, which may affect the encryption legislative process. In the commodity market, crude oil has risen due to geopolitical tensions and supply concerns, and gasoline prices are expected to rise, which may exacerbate inflationary pressures. Investors are focused on upcoming U.S. inflation data to determine the Fed's policy path.
Bitcoin fell 0.83% to $78,456.98, hovering near key support at $78,300. Ethereum edged down 0.19% to $2,485.34. Market sentiment is affected by multiple factors: on the one hand, Visa expands on-chain lending data services, showing traditional finance’s increased acceptance of encryption; on the other hand, regulatory uncertainty (such as the Plattsburgh ban) and geopolitical conflicts suppress risk appetite. Bitmine continues to increase its holdings of ETH, which shows that institutions are optimistic about the long-term, but short-term price fluctuations still need to be paid attention to.
Gold tokens XAUT and PAXG fell 1.52% and 1.46% respectively to $4,352.85 and $4,355.34, consistent with the trend of spot gold. While escalating conflicts in the Middle East are typically bullish for gold, a stronger U.S. dollar and improving risk sentiment have suppressed gold prices. Crude oil prices continue to rise due to supply concerns, which may push up inflation expectations, indirectly affecting the safe-haven demand for gold. Investors need to pay attention to geopolitical trends and inflation data for further guidance on gold prices.
