Schiff Declares Bitcoin Mania Dead
Peter Schiff came on X and said that it was over and that the largest financial mania ever was over.
The real story about Bitcoin isn’t its 50% decline, but that the biggest financial mania in history is likely over. What’s most amazing is how the scheme’s promoters convinced the mainstream financial media, Wall Street banks, and elected government officials to embrace it.

Schiff has written: The true Bitcoin story is not its 50 percent fall. His critique of the mainstream adoption of Bitcoin saw promoters of Bitcoin misleading financial media and Wall Street banks.
There were also government officials, he claimed, who were duped. His remarks sparked controversy throughout crypto circles, and fans defended against his remarks.
Market Crash Hits Major Holders Hard
Bitcoin dropped to approximately 63,000 after reaching its highs of around 90,000. Tate had made his purchase inopportune.
The barrage of 2 million dollars invested left him in a lot of danger. As the prices of Bitcoin kept slipping, his accounts kept losing money, and additional large holders were under strain.
The mood in the market changed by hours, and panic replaced optimism previously. The trading volumes increased as the panic selling intensified.
The crash rekindled Bitcoin future debates. Those against it, such as Schif,f were given a new weapon, but those in favor were determined to stick to long-term conviction, despite short-term suffering.

The Democratic Party of Korea plans to regulate tokenized real-world assets and stablecoins in the soon-to-be enacted “Framework Act on Digital Assets.” The proposal would require issuers to deposit assets with a trustee-managed trust institution, and classify stablecoins as a means of payment, subject to oversight by foreign exchange regulators. The bill bans earnings from idle stablecoins and calls for the development of interoperable technical standards, aiming to improve market transparency and safety. This marks an important step forward for South Korea’s digital asset regulation.

Strategy: In 2026, it accumulated an additional 94,470 BTC, far exceeding miners’ production
In 2026, the Bitcoin market’s supply and demand imbalance is severe. The institutional firm Strategy has purchased 94,470 Bitcoins, far exceeding the 43,000 Bitcoins produced by miners. This reduces the number of available Bitcoins, intensifies market scarcity, increases upward pressure on prices, and strengthens investors’ confidence in Bitcoin’s long-term value. Institutional buyers’ behavior dominates market dynamics; tight supply and demand may persist, and it’s important to monitor how it affects prices.
