Bitcoin is hovering near $92,536 after a modest 1% dip in Thursday’s Asian session, marking a pause in what’s otherwise been a strong uptrend. But beyond the charts, something more important is brewing.
In a first-of-its-kind move, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is in early discussions with El Salvador’s National Commission on Digital Assets (CNAD) to explore a cross-border crypto sandbox.
The idea? Allow U.S. brokers to issue non-security tokens under El Salvador’s friendlier legal framework and apply for digital asset licenses.
The proposal—reportedly backed by SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce—comes at a time when crypto is increasingly seen as a tool of economic diplomacy.
It ties into President Nayib Bukele’s long-standing Bitcoin-first policies and reflects a subtle but significant shift in U.S. regulatory tone.
If approved, this sandbox could pave the way for institutional access to token issuance outside the traditional SEC chokehold—without violating U.S. law. For Bitcoin, this is more than symbolic. It’s structural.
Russia’s Crypto Exchange for the Elite and Institutional Bets Stack Up
Meanwhile, Russia is taking its own step toward crypto legitimacy. The country’s Central Bank and Finance Ministry have approved the launch of a digital asset exchange tailored for “super-qualified investors” in 2025.
To participate, individuals must meet steep thresholds—₽100 million in assets or an annual income above ₽50 million.
Operated by the Moscow and St. Petersburg exchanges, the platform will fall under a regulatory sandbox, reinforcing Bitcoin’s growing appeal as a hedge for high-net-worth players—especially in politically sensitive economies.
And the private sector is piling in too. Strike CEO Jack Mallers just announced Twenty One Capital—a Bitcoin-native treasury vehicle modeled on MicroStrategy. With $3.9 billion in seed BTC and backing from SoftBank and Bitfinex, it will trade under ticker XXI.
As Mallers puts it: “A public stock built by Bitcoiners, for Bitcoiners.”
Bitcoin Pulls Back to $92.5K—Eyes on $91.6K Support for Fresh Entry
From a trading perspective, Bitcoin is digesting gains. The price is consolidating above the 0.236 Fibonacci level at $92,800, with stronger support at $91,600. Momentum is softening but hasn’t flipped bearish—MACD histogram bars are shrinking, not reversing.
Key Levels:
Support: $91,600 (0.382 Fib), $90,610 (0.5 Fib), $89,600 Resistance: $94,737 and $96,525 (channel top)Trade Setup:
Entry 1: Bounce from $91,600 with confirmation Entry 2: Breakout above $94,800 with strong volume Targets: $94,737 → $96,525 Stop Loss: Below $89,600Bottom Line
While short-term volatility remains, the bigger story is structural. Bitcoin is gaining ground not just in price—but in regulatory legitimacy. The SEC’s outreach to El Salvador and Russia’s crypto sandbox for elites show that traditional gatekeepers are adjusting to a Bitcoin-driven world.
And as capital continues to move into ETFs and treasury strategies, this pullback may well be the pause before the next breakout.
