Based on current market signals, the US crypto market faces a critical turning point in 2026. Multiple analyses indicate that legislation for a regulatory framework promoted through bipartisan cooperation is likely to become a reality, serving as a key catalyst for driving the entire industry toward institutionalization.



The performance of multiple tracks such as APT, RAY, and SC has, to some extent, begun to reflect the market's pricing of this expectation. What does regulatory clarity mean? Large-scale institutional capital inflows are no longer just a possibility but a foreseeable future. A well-defined regulatory framework will lower risk premiums and attract traditional financial institutions and large funds to enter the market.

Regarding the threat of quantum computing, industry insiders believe this issue may be overstated. At least until 2026 and before, quantum computing will not have a substantial impact on asset prices. This means the market can temporarily set aside this long-term technological risk and focus on immediate regulatory and institutional opportunities.

Overall, the crypto market is undergoing a transition from retail-driven to institutionalized. The gradual improvement of the regulatory framework will inject new vitality and certainty into the entire ecosystem.
APT-3,82%
RAY-1,7%
SC0,13%

Regulatory implementation is indeed a signal, but when will genuine institutional funds actually enter the market? Merely shouting slogans is useless. --- 2026? Still more than a year to go. Starting to speculate on expectations now is really too hasty. --- The quantum computing part is real; some big influencers exaggerated it. Putting it aside is the best course of action. --- Tokens like APT and RAY have long been priced in expectations. Entering now depends on luck. --- From retail investors to institutionalization... It sounds nice, but in reality, small retail investors are gradually being pushed out. --- Clarifying regulations is a good thing, but the reduced risk premium also means fewer opportunities for explosive growth. --- Institutional entry marks the end of the wild growth era. Not sure if it's good or bad. --- Feeling a bit anxious. It seems this cycle will be heavily regulated.

Regulatory enforcement agencies are entering the market, and the era of retail investors'狂欢可能真的要结束了。 --- Party cooperation? Can we not make it just another hype this time? --- APT, RAY have been rising quite sharply; it all depends on whether the subsequent regulatory boots will land. --- Regarding quantum computing, industry insiders say there's no need to worry too much for now; just focus on the immediate opportunities. --- If 2026 truly becomes a turning point, is it still possible to get on board now... --- After institutionalization, will retail investors still have a way out? It seems they will be crushed by big capital. --- With increased regulatory transparency, institutions dare to enter; this logic is sound. --- Lowering risk premiums has changed the entire market temperament; it's unclear whether it's good or bad. --- Is buying into these tracks now just gambling on regulatory expectations? It feels a bit虚。 --- From retail market to institutional market, small investors like us可能真要面临大洗牌了。

Regulation is coming, and institutions will be able to enter the market? Don't overthink it; the group on Wall Street will only come to suck blood. --- APT RAY and these coins have already been crushed. It's a bit funny to talk about pricing reflecting expectations now. --- The threat of quantum computing is exaggerated, haha. I think nothing will change before 2026. --- Institutionalization is the beginning of retail investors being cut off. I bet five dollars that after institutions enter, retail will be pushed out. --- This article is just a pie-in-the-sky story. The real regulatory framework will have to wait until the flowers wither. --- Two-party cooperation to push for regulation? American politicians can cooperate? I don't believe it. --- From retail-driven to institutionalized, in simple terms, it's a process of going from freedom to being harvested. --- Improving the regulatory framework to lower risk premiums, simply put, means the gains won't be so crazy anymore. Boring. --- See you in 2026. There's no point in saying so much now. Let's just survive until next year.

Are the regulatory boots finally landing, institutions stepping in, and retail investors about to be harvested again? --- Bipartisan cooperation? Is this really reliable? It always feels like an illusion. --- APT and RAY have surged so strongly; it was obvious all along. --- Is the threat of quantum computing exaggerated? Then what are all those terrifying theories I heard before about... --- The real opportunities are still reserved for big funds; retail investors like us can only watch and drink the soup. --- 2026 is indeed a watershed year; I’ve placed my bets. --- Institutional entry means volatility will decrease, which is actually a nightmare for short-term traders.
