Coinbase Research: Bitcoin Breaks Key Support, Market Possibly in Early Stage of Long-term Downtrend

2025.04.16 13:32:48

On April 16th, Coinbase Research presented a report indicating that both Bitcoin and the COIN50 Index have fallen beneath their respective 200-day moving averages. This suggests that the market might be in the initial stage of a long-term downward trend. This aligns with the trend of the total market capitalization decline and the contraction of VC funding. Both of these are key characteristics of a potential "crypto winter." The report points out that numerous signs may imply that extreme negative sentiment has emerged as global tariffs are being implemented and there is a possibility of further escalation. This indicates that a new "crypto winter" may be commencing. Meanwhile, cryptocurrency venture capital in the first quarter of 2025 rebounded from the previous quarter but still remains 50-60% below the peak levels of the 2021-2022 cycle. This significantly restricts new capital from entering the ecosystem, especially in altcoins. All these structural pressures stem from the broader macroeconomic environment's uncertainty. As traditional risk assets face continuous resistance due to fiscal austerity and tariff policies, this leads to decision-making paralysis. Despite some unique favorable regulatory factors, the path to crypto recovery remains arduous, even in the face of the poor performance of the stock market. The interaction of these factors makes the outlook for the digital asset space challenging, and caution may still be necessary in the short term (perhaps in the next 4-6 weeks). However, the report also advises investors to adopt a tactical market strategy and remain optimistic about the second half of 2025.

U.S. Senator Urges Treasury and Justice Departments to Investigate Binance's Relationship with Trump

On May 9th, as per Bloomberg, a coalition of Democratic senators in the US (including Senator Chris Van Hollen from Maryland and Senator Elizabeth Warren from Massachusetts) dispatched a joint letter to the Secretary of the Treasury and the Attorney General, seeking an investigation into the linkage between Binance and the Trump family's digital asset project. The letter pointed out that the Abu Dhabi investment firm MXG completed a $1 billion investment in Binance in March through a USD-backed stablecoin under the control of the Trump family, giving rise to concerns regarding compliance risks.
