Bear or Bull Market? Institutions Are Buying The Dip! Crypto Markets Explained

This week’s Bankless Weekly Rollup dives into whether we’ve already hit the cycle top (is $124k peak?) or if alt-season is just around the corner. With over $3 billion flowing into ETH ETFs, Tom Lee gobbling up more crypto and MicroStrategy minting fresh shares, prices somehow stay stuck while treasury premiums compress. Our hosts hash out 30 key market signals—think ETF inflows, trading charts and macro debates—to decide if it’s time to buy the dip or wave the white flag.

On the policy front, the Fed’s starting to give crypto some love, Wyoming rolled out the first US state-issued stablecoin, and New York wants to slap a 0.2% digital-assets tax on transactions. Add in Gemini’s IPO prep, SEC probes of treasury firms, and high-profile hires between the White House and Tether—this is shaping up to be another pivotal week for crypto.
