<a href="https://www.reuters.com/sustainability/boards-policy-regulation/us-bank-regulator-says-banks-can-act-crypto-intermediaries-2025-12-09/?utm_source=chatgpt.com" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">1) <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/1f3e6.png" alt="🏦" class="wp-smiley"> U.S. banks get green light to act as crypto intermediaries — major shift in mainstream adoption</a>
What happened: The U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) announced that banks can now operate as “riskless principal” intermediaries for crypto transactions — meaning they can match buyers and sellers without holding crypto on their balance sheet. &nbsp;
Why it matters: This is a structural push to integrate traditional finance and crypto — making it easier for everyday banking infrastructure to support crypto flows. It could widen access and liquidity, as banks become a bridge, not just niche crypto-only platforms. Risk for systemic exposure increases, but so does mainstream legitimacy.

What happened: On-exchange Bitcoin reserves dropped sharply over the past 12 months, from ~1.8 million BTC down to roughly 1.2 million BTC — signalling a significant drawdown in exchange liquidity. &nbsp;
Why it matters: Less BTC sitting on exchanges means lower immediate sell pressure — but also reduced liquidity. This could tighten the market: if demand re-emerges, price moves might be more abrupt. For long-term holders, it’s a bullish signal of scarcity. For traders, watch for volatility spikes.

3) <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/1f4c9.png" alt="📉" class="wp-smiley"> Major sell-side warning: Standard Chartered slashes 2025–2026 BTC price targets amid weak demand from crypto-treasury firms
What happened: Standard Chartered cut its year-end BTC forecast from $200,000 to $100,000 and trimmed the 2026 target, citing cooling demand from firms that stockpile digital assets (digital-asset-treasury companies, DATs), despite earlier bullish forecasts. &nbsp;
Why it matters: Big banks revising down targets signals waning institutional optimism — combined with exchange supply drawdown, this suggests the market may stay range-bound or volatile until new catalysts emerge (macro or structural). BTC bulls should watch flows, not just technicals.

What happened: Meanwhile, some institutional investors keep buying: recent data show large-scale accumulation even as prices wobble. This, along with reduced exchange supply, contributes to one of the tightest supply-demand dynamics seen recently. &nbsp;
Why it matters: Diverging behavior (some institutions selling, others accumulating) can lead to choppy but potentially bullish long-term structures. If macro stabilises or ETF flows return, tight supply may fuel sharp rallies.
