Mismatch Between Regulatory Expectations and Market Reality: A Quiet Divergence Is Happening

Recently, I've noticed a very interesting phenomenon—when the SEC chair publicly stated that over the next two years, the US financial markets might migrate massively to blockchain, guess what the on-chain data showed? Glassnode's sentiment indicator reveals that the current atmosphere is actually close to the early stages of the 2022 bear market. Open interest is contracting, and speculative fervor is clearly cooling down.

This contrast raises a question: Are the regulators' promises too far off, or has the market already learned to "watch what they do, not what they say"?

But interestingly, even amid this cautious sentiment, certain sectors are showing completely opposite trends.

Take privacy infrastructure for example. Mind Network's token $FHE surged over 102% in 24 hours. There are several noteworthy catalysts behind this rally:

First, on the ecosystem front, the project has been deeply involved in Chainlink’s staking rewards program, directly locking up a significant portion of the circulating supply;
Second, in terms of narrative, its CEO recently emphasized the key role of FHE (Fully Homomorphic Encryption) technology for institutional adoption in a Nasdaq interview. The "privacy + AI" combo is indeed catching attention in the current environment;
Third, regarding supply and demand structure, when the broader market is mostly on the sidelines, small-cap, strong-narrative tokens often become focal points for concentrated buying.

The takeaway from this type of market might be: even when macro sentiment is cold, directions characterized by "core technology + key partnerships + scarcity" still have a chance to break out independently. Of course, such surges usually come with high volatility, and the risk of a pullback after the hype fades should not be overlooked.

The choices in front of us now are roughly as follows:
Believe in the long-term vision painted by regulators and position early in infrastructure;
Respect the sober reality reflected in on-chain data and remain on the sidelines;
Or try to capture those countertrend, independent structural opportunities.

Which will you choose?
