Glassnode said investors who bought one to two years ago at $97,000 and six to 12 months ago at $89,000 are now underwater, adding daily BTC selling by buyers from the 2025 bull market has reached its highest level this year, while investors who accumulated during the bear market are not engaging in large-scale selling.

Bitcoin could rise to around $190,858 if the BTC/gold ratio recovers to its December 2024 peak of 40.1 ounces, Adam Livingston, vice president of investments at Bitcoin-accumulation company Strive (NASDAQ: ASST), said, according to Bitcoin.com. Based on an assumption that gold climbs to $4,760 per ounce, that would put BTC about 51% above its current all-time high. In related analysis, the media outlet said that if that scenario plays out, the value of Strategy’s 847,666 BTC would increase to about $161.8 billion (219 trillion won), with unrealized gains reaching roughly $98.0 billion.

In that case, a rebound targeting $87,000 could follow.

The Korea Institute of Finance has advised South Korea’s Financial Services Commission to classify decentralized finance, or DeFi, and over-the-counter, or OTC, support providers as unlicensed virtual asset operators and restrict domestic users’ access or trading with them, Digital Asset reported. In a report on second-phase legislation and anti-money laundering, or AML, improvements related to stablecoins submitted to the commission late last year, the institute said AML and counter-terrorist financing, or CFT, obligations need to be applied to DeFi and OTC providers. It also proposed drawing up separate guidelines to determine whether overseas unregistered virtual asset operators fall under enforcement. On stablecoins, the report presented additional measures for areas where existing AML systems are difficult to apply, including cold wallets and person-to-person wallet transactions. The institute said South Korea also needs to consider, over the medium to long term, imposing reporting and registration requirements on platforms or software providers that support transfers between stablecoin wallets.

South Korea’s JB Bank plans to launch a personal overseas remittance service for Southeast Asia, including Vietnam and the Philippines, in December in partnership with Ripple, Edaily reported. The bank has been in talks with Ripple on overseas remittances since last year and signed a Ripple Payments agreement in August.

Kelman PLLC, a law firm focused on digital assets, said an investor’s failure to receive tokens after a project’s expected launch date has passed does not automatically constitute a breach of contract. Whether a breach has actually occurred depends on whether the token delivery timing and payment conditions specified in the contract have been met, Kelman said. The firm pointed in particular to early-stage investments made through SAFTs, or Simple Agreements for Future Tokens. Under a SAFT, an investor provides funding in advance and gains the right to receive tokens once predetermined conditions are satisfied. Unlike general token sales such as ICOs, IEOs, or launchpads, a project’s obligation to deliver tokens is determined by the specific terms agreed between the investor and the project, according to Kelman. If a project seeks to change terms by delaying token delivery, reducing the allocation, or extending the vesting period, investors should check whether the existing contract allows such changes and whether investor consent is required, the firm added. Kelman also said related materials should be preserved, including contracts, remittance records, transaction hashes, and project announcements and messages.
