1. The Market Pulse for February 2026

The current price of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies is going through a time. This is a period of ” fear” and market “repair.” After an increase in price in late 2025 the market is now correcting itself.

Bitcoin is currently testing the $63,000 level. This is a drop from the peak of $126,200 in October 2025.. People who have been holding Bitcoin for a long time are not selling. The reason for the drop is that many people who bought Bitcoin with borrowed money are now selling.

Ethereum has also dropped in price going down 22% in February. This is because some big investors are selling their Ethereum.

Solana is still doing well even though the market is down. Some big investors think Solana will do well in the long term with prices reaching as high as $10,000.

The ETF Revolution

In 2024 and 2025 ETFs were very popular.. Now in 2026 they are being used differently.

We are seeing a signal in ETF behavior. While many people have invested in ETFs some are now pulling their money out. This is not because ETFs are failing. Because investors are using them in a different way.

Some big investors are using ETFs to make decisions rather than just investing for the long term.

Regulation

The biggest change in 2026 is that the US government is now providing rules for cryptocurrencies.

The CLARITY Act will provide a distinction between digital securities and commodities. This will allow banks to hold cryptocurrencies without worrying about penalties.

In Europe the MiCA regulation is being enforced. This will require all companies to follow rules. While some people think this will hurt innovation big investors think it is a good thing.

The Federal Reserve is also making changes. They are removing “reputation risk” from bank supervision. This means that banks will be encouraged to work with cryptocurrency companies long as they have good anti-money laundering controls.
