Crypto Market Rebounds After US Dividend Announcement

This week, the cryptocurrency market saw an unexpected recovery: Bitcoin rose above $103,000 again, followed by major altcoins like Ethereum, Solana, and others. The move was prompted by US President Donald Trump’s proposal to pay most Americans a “dividend” of at least $2,000, which is planned to be financed through tariffs.

Investors perceived this as a signal of possible economic stimulus and increased liquidity, which traditionally supports demand for risky assets, including crypto. Following the announcement, the CoinDesk 20 Index, which had previously fallen almost 15% in a week, began to recover its losses.

While the medium-term trend remains volatile, market participants see the rebound as confirmation that the psychologically important $100,000 zone for BTC is still holding. Analysts note that further dynamics will depend on the details of the dividend program and the reaction of the US Federal Reserve.

Bitcoin in November: Rally, Forecast Adjustment, and Increased Institutional Interest

Bitcoin’s November rally became one of the key newsworthy moments of the month: the price recovered from a deep correction, and institutional players increased their focus on the network’s infrastructure. At the same time, Galaxy Digital analysts lowered their 2025 price target for BTC from $185,000 to $120,000, citing a slowdown in institutional demand and the unwinding of leveraged positions.

According to Bitget analytics, even with the lowered forecast, investment in infrastructure solutions—from mining projects to staking services and custody solutions—is increasing. This demonstrates long-term faith in the network, despite short-term liquidity risks and profit-taking by long-term holders.

Experts note that the current market phase is characterized by a clash of two forces: strategic investors increasing their positions in infrastructure and speculative capital reacting to macroeconomic news and volatility. This creates the basis for sharp movements both upward and downward.

The court declared a mistrial in the high-profile case of a $25 million crypto heist on Ethereum.

In the United States, a Manhattan federal court declared a mistrial in the high-profile case of two MIT graduate brothers accused of stealing $25 million in cryptocurrency in 12 seconds through complex transaction manipulation on the Ethereum network. After three days of intense deliberations, the jury was unable to reach a unanimous verdict, with some reporting severe emotional burnout and insomnia.

Prosecutors alleged that the brothers “poisoned” a block of transactions, replacing data and gaining the ability to interfere with the victims’ trades, which constitutes fraud and money laundering. The defense, however, argued that this was a legal, albeit aggressive, strategy in the highly competitive trading bot environment, and that the defendants’ actions constituted “innovation, not crime.”

The case is already being called a landmark case for the development of legal practice regarding complex attacks and manipulations in DeFi and at the protocol level. The US Department of Justice has not yet decided whether to retry the case, but the outcome of the new trial could have significant implications for law enforcement in the decentralized finance space.

The EU Council approved the 19th sanctions package targeting Russia. The document includes 69 new personal and corporate restrictions, as well as measures affecting the energy sector (including LNG), finance, and digital assets. One of the goals of the package is to combat sanctions evasion using cryptocurrencies and related services.

The new rules strengthen oversight of transactions involving Russian counterparties and expand the list of companies and jurisdictions subject to additional scrutiny. This applies to both centralized exchanges and financial institutions working with cryptocurrency.

Experts note that pressure on the infrastructure enabling the use of cryptocurrencies for sanctions evasion will become one of the key regulatory trends in the EU in the coming months.

MiCA: A Level Playing Field for the EU Crypto Market

The Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation is gradually becoming the foundation of the legal framework for the European Union’s crypto market. The document introduces uniform requirements for transparency, disclosure, licensing, and oversight for market participants issuing and trading cryptoassets, including stablecoins and tokens pegged to asset baskets.

MiCA fills a regulatory void for assets previously excluded from traditional financial regulations. Issuers and service providers are now required to comply with standards similar to those for traditional financial instruments, from capital requirements to consumer protection rules.

According to legal experts, MiCA will make the European market more predictable and attractive for regulated companies and institutional investors, but will also raise the barrier to entry for smaller startups due to compliance costs.

The global landscape: from a strict ban in China to targeted reforms in Eastern Europe

The international landscape of cryptocurrency regulation remains extremely uneven. China still maintains a strict ban on private trading and mining: only the state-issued digital yuan is permitted, and any transactions with decentralized assets are effectively relegated to a gray area.

At the opposite extreme are EU countries and several Eastern European jurisdictions, which are gradually adapting their regimes to the MiCA and related regulations. For example, Hungary recently amended the so-called Crypto Markets Act, relaxing validation requirements in certain cases of converting crypto assets into other currencies. The goal is to simplify life for legitimate players while maintaining control over suspicious transactions.

The global trend can be described as follows: from a blanket ban to “smart regulation,” where authorities seek not so much to destroy the crypto industry as to integrate it into the existing financial system with clear rules and areas of responsibility.
