The crypto market today seems to be a continuation of a trend. Bitcoin's current price is $77,940, down 3.49% over the past 24 hours, and what’s concerning is that warning signals are becoming quite evident.

The first thing to watch is the STRC stock of Strategy, which has fallen below $100, posing a problem because this company used a strategy of raising a massive $2.54 billion to buy more Bitcoin. When this stock drops, raising funds to buy coins this week will become more difficult. History shows that when STRC drops below $100, Bitcoin usually falls by an average of 30%, meaning we might see BTC drop to $53,000. Macroeconomic factors are also adding pressure, as Donald Trump recently announced that the peace deal between the US and Iran is almost hopeless.

But there is some good news: DoorDash just announced it will start accepting stablecoins for payments, partnering with Tempo to enable users, riders, and merchants in over 40 countries to transact more quickly. With 903 million orders per quarter in Q4 2025, the app is changing consumer payment behaviors. This is a sign that stablecoins are becoming spendable money, not just speculative assets. Giants like Stripe, Visa, and Mastercard are also moving into this space.

Another interesting point: a recent survey from Borse Stuttgart Digital shows that 35% of European investors are ready to close their accounts and switch banks immediately if they find a better crypto service elsewhere. One in five expects their main bank to offer crypto services within three years. The EU’s MiCA regulation, enforced late last year, has greatly boosted investor confidence. Spain has become the most crypto-friendly country in Europe, followed by Germany, Italy, and France.

But the dark side also exists: France recently experienced a tense incident where a thief disguised as a delivery person stormed into a family with a gun to extort crypto. Such incidents occur on average every two and a half days. Police believe the criminals do not randomly choose victims but target based on data leaked from the well-known hardware wallet company Ledger, which revealed who holds large amounts of crypto and where they live.

In summary, the crypto market now is a mix of big opportunities and risks that should not be overlooked. The Fear and Greed Index stands at 32, indicating fear.
