Global markets have reacted with a decline, and so has the crypto sector. Crypto-related stocks fell, with Bitcoin touching its lowest level of the year.  <\/p><p data-start=\"307\" data-end=\"586\">The decline confirmed something that became evident in 2025. Big capital no longer views crypto as a separate world. When funds reduce exposure to risky assets, they sell both stocks and crypto.

As institutional money enters through funds and regulated products, the price reacts more quickly to news about trade policy, interest rates, and liquidity in the market. Volatility no longer comes only from onchain events, but also from decisions made by governments and central banks.  <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d193825 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"d193825\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.cointelegraph.com\/uploads\/2026-02\/019c982f-3418-7130-8c53-8f53a30fd781.jpg\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-781fa6f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"781fa6f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/cointelegraph.com\/explained\/the-crypto-events-that-reshaped-the-industry-in-2025\">cointelegraph<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cc8cae5 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"cc8cae5\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8acf796 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"8acf796\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h1 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">July: GENIUS Act<\/h1>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fe730b5 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"fe730b5\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0957fd0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0957fd0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p data-start=\"60\" data-end=\"276\">On July 18, U.S. President <span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">Donald Trump<\/span><\/span> signed the <span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">GENIUS Act<\/span><\/span>.

Instead, we got a series of events. Hacking, regulatory changes, market infrastructure upgrades, and the ever-increasing interconnection of traditional finance and onchain systems. This has changed who participates in the market, how risk spreads and what mass adoption means in practice.   <\/p><p data-start=\"364\" data-end=\"685\">Operational risk can no longer be ignored. Exposure to crypto today includes asset custody, partner reliability, access controls, and how the infrastructure is set up. The security of a coin depends not only on the protocol and hashrate, but also on how exchanges, wallets and institutions function under pressure.  <\/p><p data-start=\"687\" data-end=\"964\">Crypto has fully entered a macro risk cycle. Prices are increasingly moving in line with global liquidity, interest rate expectations and general investor sentiment. Bitcoin and the rest of the market behave as part of the broader financial system rather than an isolated experiment.  <\/p><p data-start=\"966\" data-end=\"1231\">Stablecoins have become part of the financial infrastructure. Dollar-pegged tokens are no longer just a trading tool. They have become regulated payment channels. The focus is on reserves, issuer structure and transparency, because without this there is no wider acceptance.   <\/p><p data-start=\"1233\" data-end=\"1514\">Market access has expanded faster than the discipline of risk management. Capital entry is easier than ever, but leverage still plays a big role. The market is technically more mature, but this has not reduced volatility. It has only accelerated how fast and how strongly prices can go up or down.   <\/p><p data-start=\"1516\" data-end=\"1661\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">These four things best describe how crypto has changed in 2025 and provide a good framework for understanding what we can expect in 2026 and beyond. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>February: Bybit hack and return focus to operational risk In February, the market was once again reminded how important security is.
