Do you pay cryptocurrency taxes in Spain?

If you reside in Spain or are a Spanish tax resident, you are explicitly obligated to pay taxes on your cryptocurrency holdings and activities. Spain classifies digital assets as capital assets and treats them much like stocks or real estate for the purposes of taxation. This means that virtually every way you interact with crypto—from trading and selling to earning and holding—has potential tax consequences.

Section Overview

  • Investors: Obliged to declare gains from trading, swapping, or spending crypto.
  • Miners: Income from mining is classified as business or professional earnings.
  • Stakers: Staking rewards are taxed as investment income.
  • Crypto held abroad: Subject to additional declarations if thresholds are exceeded.
  • Wealth tax: Large crypto portfolios can trigger regional wealth tax requirements.

H3: Who is considered a tax resident in Spain?

Spanish residents are those who:

  • Spend more than 183 days per year in Spain.
  • Have Spain as the primary center of economic interests.
  • Have dependents (spouse/children) living in Spain.

If you meet these criteria, your global crypto assets and activities fall under Spanish tax law—even if you use overseas exchanges or wallets.

H3: What crypto activities are taxable?

Spain taxes most crypto-related events. Here is a structured overview:

Activity Type Taxable? Tax Type
Buying crypto with EUR No –
Holding crypto No – (except Wealth Tax if threshold)
Selling crypto for fiat (EUR, USD) Yes Capital gains (Savings Income)
Swapping crypto for crypto Yes Capital gains (Savings Income)
Spending crypto on goods/services Yes Capital gains (Savings Income)
Getting paid in crypto (salary) Yes Income Tax
Mining crypto Yes Income Tax
Staking rewards Yes Income Tax (Investment)
Receiving airdrops/referral rewards Yes Income Tax / Gifts
Gifting or inheriting crypto Yes Inheritance/Gift Tax
Transferring between own wallets No –

Note: Holding crypto may trigger Wealth Tax or reporting obligations if portfolio exceeds regional limits.

H3: Real-world example

Consider Lucia, a Spanish resident. She buys 2 ETH for €6,000, stakes her ETH for 12 months (earning 0.2 ETH), and later sells both original and earned ETH for €8,000. Each of these steps potentially generates a tax obligation—capital gains from the sale, income tax from staking rewards, and possible Wealth Tax reporting if her total assets cross the threshold.

How much tax do you pay on crypto in Spain?

Spanish crypto taxation is progressive and depends on the form of income, region, and total portfolio size. You might pay capital gains tax, income tax, or wealth tax—sometimes all three.

H3: Capital Gains (Savings Income Tax Rates)

When selling, swapping, or spending your crypto, the gains are taxed as savings income at progressive rates. Here’s how this works for the 2025 tax year:

Profit Bracket (€) Tax Rate
Up to €6,000 19%
€6,000 – €50,000 21%
€50,000 – €200,000 23%
€200,000 – €300,000 27%
Over €300,000 28%

Example Calculation

If you sell 1 BTC that you originally purchased for €25,000 now worth €35,000, your capital gain is €10,000:

  • The first €6,000 is taxed at 19% (€1,140).
  • The remaining €4,000 is taxed at 21% (€840).
  • Total capital gains tax = €1,980.

H3: Income Tax on Crypto Earnings

Crypto earned through mining, salary, staking, airdrops, or freelance work is taxed as regular income. These activities are subject to the General Income Tax Scale, which incorporates both national and regional rates.

Income Range (€) National Tax Rate (Typical Range; Regional Surcharges May Apply)
Up to 12,450 19%
12,451 – 20,200 24%
20,201 – 35,200 30%
35,201 – 60,000 37%
60,001 – 300,000 45%
Over 300,000 47%

Some autonomous communities may levy surcharges, causing marginal rates to go up to 54%.

Example – Staking Rewards

Ana receives staking rewards equivalent to €2,500 in 2025. She must report this as income for the year at either the savings income rate (if considered investment income) or the general scale, depending on HMRC classification.

H3: Wealth Tax for Crypto

Wealth Tax applies in most Spanish regions when total taxable assets (including crypto portfolios) exceed local thresholds. The standard national exemption is €700,000, with an extra €300,000 exemption for primary residences.

Region Wealth Tax Rate Exemption Threshold (Typical)
Catalonia 0.21% – 3.48% €700,000
Asturias 0.22% – 3% €700,000
Murcia 0.24% – 3% €700,000
Cantabria 0.24% – 3.03% €700,000
Valencia 0.25% – 3.5% €700,000
Balearics 0.28% – 3.45% €700,000
Extremadura 0.30% – 3.75% €700,000
Madrid/Andalusia 0% (But report if >€2m assets) N/A

Example

If Carlos has €800,000 in crypto assets and real estate (excluding his €300,000 main residence), he pays Wealth Tax on €100,000—at the applicable regional rate.

H3: Taxation Summary Table

Crypto Activity Taxable Event Tax Type Rate (2025) Notes
Sell BTC for EUR Capital gain Savings Income Tax 19–28% Progressive scale
Trade ETH for ADA Capital gain Savings Income Tax 19–28% Even if not cashed out
Earn mining rewards Income General Income Tax Up to 47%* Register as freelancer if regular
Stake and earn yield Income Investment Income/Savings 19–28% See local tax office
Receive airdrop Income/Gift General Income / Gift Tax 19–47% / 7–36.5% Depends on frequency/nature
Gift crypto Gift Gift/Inheritance Tax 7–36.5% Varies by region/relationship
HODL N/A Wealth Tax 0.2–3.75% If above regional threshold
Transfer between own wallets No None N/A Not a taxable event

Can the Agencia Tributaria track crypto?

The Spanish Tax Agency (Agencia Tributaria, AEAT) has greatly strengthened its crypto tracing powers. Crypto exchanges and wallets, especially those operating within Spain or in the broader EU, are now required to report client holdings and transaction data.

H3: Regulatory Measures

  • Law 11/2021: Requires centralized exchanges (both domestic and some foreign) to provide customer and transactional data to tax authorities.
  • DAC8 EU Directive: Coming into force EU-wide, this mandates exchanges to share crypto holder information across member states.
  • Proposed 2024 Rules: Empower the Treasury to seize crypto assets for outstanding tax debts.
  • Model 721: Obligates reporting of crypto assets held abroad if value exceeds €50,000.

H3: How does AEAT get data?

Centralized exchanges share user data directly with AEAT, including:

  • User’s name, address, and tax ID
  • Transaction histories
  • Crypto holdings balances
  • Details on incoming/outgoing wallet addresses

Non-compliance or underreporting may result in substantial penalties—up to five times the undeclared amount and possible prison sentences in severe cases.

H3: Example – Tracking Case

Suppose Javier keeps coins on both a local Spanish exchange and an overseas platform. Both are now potentially obligated to disclose his identity and asset details if his total holdings pass the €50,000 threshold.

How is crypto taxed in Spain?

Crypto taxation in Spain is multi-dimensional, blending rules for income, savings, wealth, inheritance, and gifts. It all comes down to the activity type, value, and your region of residence.

H3: Capital Gains Tax (Savings Income)

Most personal crypto transactions (sells, trades, or spendings) are taxed as savings income. The gain is determined by the EUR value difference between original purchase (cost basis) and disposal.

Crypto-to-Fiat Example

Marta buys 1.5 ETH for €3,600 and sells for €4,200. She makes a gain of €600, taxed at her applicable savings income bracket.

Crypto-to-Crypto Example

Miguel buys 0.2 BTC for €8,000 worth of EUR. He uses it to buy 12 SOL when the BTC is worth €10,000. He declares a €2,000 capital gain, even before converting SOL to fiat.

Spending Crypto

Any time crypto is used to pay for products/services, it’s deemed a disposal for tax purposes. The difference in EUR value between acquisition and spending date is subject to capital gains tax.

H3: Income Tax from Earning Crypto

Spain considers crypto an item of income when earned as pay for services (salary, freelancing), mining rewards, staking, or airdrops.

Mining

  • Registration: Regular miners must register as freelancers under business activity code 832.9 (“other financial services”).
  • Taxation: Mining rewards are taxed at personal income rates in the year received.
  • Subsequent Sales: Further gains when selling mined coins incur savings income tax based on market value at time of acquisition and sale.

Staking

If staking is passive—akin to earning interest—it is taxed as savings income (rates: 19%–28%). If considered business-like, general income tax rates apply.

Airdrops and Referrals

No official guidance exists, but the conservative approach is to treat as miscellaneous income under the general tax scale.

H3: Gift and Inheritance Tax

Spain imposes a Gift and Inheritance Tax (ISD) for recipients of crypto via gift or succession.

  • Tax Rates: 7%–36.5%, varying by region and familial relationship.
  • Exemptions: Enhanced for close family (children, spouses), especially in autonomous regions.
  • Obligation: Both giver and recipient may have reporting requirements.

H3: Wealth Tax for Crypto

If your entire taxable estate, including all crypto, surpasses the threshold (commonly €700,000), you must declare in your annual wealth tax return (Modelo 714). Note Madrid and Andalusia do not charge Wealth Tax, but reporting is still necessary if assets are above €2 million.

H3: NFTs and DeFi

  • NFTs: Gains classified under savings income; buying NFTs with crypto triggers a taxable crypto disposal. Creating/selling NFTs is taxed as financial income.
  • DeFi: Interest or yield farming rewards are generally taxed as savings or regular income; the principal (token disposals/swaps) is taxed as capital gains.

Spain Income Tax Rate

Cryptocurrency earned as income is taxed on a progressive national scale, possibly augmented by regional surcharges.

H3: 2025 Income Tax Brackets

Taxable Income (€) National Rate
Up to 12,450 19%
12,451 – 20,200 24%
20,201 – 35,200 30%
35,201 – 60,000 37%
60,001 – 300,000 45%
Over 300,000 47%

Some regions may apply higher rates, with maximum marginal rates potentially up to 54%. Staking rewards, mining, and airdrops are all included, reported in the year received at their EUR value.

H3: Accounting Method – FIFO

Spain mandates the First-In, First-Out (FIFO) approach. The oldest coins (by acquisition date) are considered sold first, directly affecting your capital gains calculation.

Example

  • Buy 1 ETH on Jan 1 for €3,000
  • Buy 1 ETH on May 1 for €2,500
  • Sell 1 ETH on Sep 1 for €4,000

For tax, you sell the Jan 1 ETH, capital gain = €1,000 (€4,000 – €3,000).

H3: Declaring Savings Income and Investment Returns

Savings income (capital gains, staking rewards) is reported with your annual personal tax return (Modelo 100/Renta Online).

  • Sales/trades: Section F2, Box 1804 (“Ganancias y pérdidas patrimoniales de monedas virtuales”)
  • Investment returns: Section B, Box 0031
  • Mining income: Section D1

H3: Filing and Deadlines

Event Deadline
Tax Year-End December 31, 2025
Annual filing period April – June 30, 2026
Wealth Tax (Model 714) June 30, 2026
Model 721 (crypto abroad declaration) March 31, 2026

Penalties for late or incomplete filing can be severe, often calculated as a % of undeclared assets—up to five times the amount for egregious offenses.

Crypto losses in Spain

Reporting crypto losses can provide powerful tax optimization opportunities for Spanish taxpayers, as capital losses may offset gains and reduce your final tax bill.

H3: Offsetting Losses Against Gains

  • Capital losses: Offset 100% of similar capital gains.
  • Carry forward provision: Unused losses may be carried forward for up to four years.
  • Additional offset: After four years, remaining losses may offset up to 25% of other savings income, such as dividends and interest.

Example

Let’s say Lucía sells BTC at a €3,000 loss in 2025. She can reduce her taxable gains for 2025 by this amount. If she reports no crypto gains for 2025, she can carry the €3,000 loss until as late as 2029 or offset a quarter of her investment dividends.

H3: Wash Sale Rule – No Longer Applies

Since the 2022 tax year, Spain’s “wash sale” rule, limiting the deduction of short-term repurchase losses, no longer applies to crypto. Taxpayers may now sell and quickly repurchase without restriction, making loss harvesting more manageable.

H3: Summary Table – Loss Treatment

Loss Type Offset Allowed Carry Forward
Crypto vs Crypto 100% of similar gains Up to 4 yrs
Excess Loss 25% of other savings income Up to 4 yrs
After 4 years Not allowed –

H3: Practical Tip

Strategic “tax loss harvesting” before year-end can minimize your taxable base, but always ensure records are up-to-date and accurate.

DeFi tax

Decentralized finance (DeFi) activities—from lending and yield farming to staking and providing liquidity—have surged among Spanish crypto users, but tax treatment remains nuanced.

H3: Tax Treatment of DeFi Activities

  • DeFi yields (lending/borrowing interest, LP rewards): Generally classified as savings/investment income (taxed at 19%–28%).
  • Crypto-to-crypto swaps within DeFi: Each swap is a taxable event, incurring capital gains/losses.
  • Yield farming: Earnings are subject to income tax at fair market EUR value upon receipt; subsequent disposals are capital gains tax events.

Example

Daniel provides 2 ETH to a DeFi liquidity pool. He earns 0.2 ETH as yield within the year (investment income at receipt). When he later removes liquidity and his remaining ETH has appreciated in value, both the yield and any price gain are taxed.

H3: Record Keeping is Key

DeFi transactions often involve numerous small, intricate steps. It’s crucial to keep careful, detailed records (transaction hash, date, value in EUR, platform used) for each interaction.

H3: NFTs in the DeFi Space

  • Buying an NFT with cryptocurrency is a disposal event, also triggering capital gains or losses.
  • Selling a self-created NFT is taxed as financial income, while buying with fiat is not taxable.

FAQ: Crypto Tax in Spain 2025

What cryptocurrencies are subject to tax in Spain?

All cryptocurrencies and digital tokens—including Bitcoin, Ethereum, stablecoins, and altcoins—are subject to tax in Spain, regardless of how they are held or traded. NFTs and DeFi tokens also trigger tax liabilities upon sale, swap, or income generation. Both centralized exchange and self-custody holdings are included in tax calculations and reporting.

How do I calculate my crypto tax liability?

To calculate your Spanish crypto tax, determine all taxable events:

  • Sales, swaps, and spendings: Calculate capital gain/loss for each transaction using the FIFO method and the EUR value at time of acquisition and disposal.
  • Earned crypto (mining, staking, airdrops): Use fair market EUR value at receipt as taxable income.
  • Sum capital gains/losses to apply to progressive savings income rates; add income events to your annual return at general or investment income rates.
  • Consider Wealth Tax exposure based on your entire portfolio value.

For complete accuracy, use transaction history exports and a secure tax calculator, such as the one provided by WEEX.

What records should I keep for crypto taxes?

Maintain comprehensive records for a minimum of five years beyond each transaction, including:

  • Date, type, and amount of each transaction
  • Acquisition and disposal prices in EUR (sourced from a reputable exchange)
  • Wallet addresses, transaction IDs, and the nature of counterparties (especially for larger or cross-border transfers)
  • Documentation for all income (staking, mining, airdrops, referrals)

Detailed records ensure accuracy during filing and provide crucial evidence in the event of agency scrutiny.

When are crypto taxes due in Spain?

The Spanish tax year runs from January 1 to December 31. Your comprehensive annual tax return (Modelo 100) must be filed online or with your tax office by June 30 of the following year. For the 2025 tax year, the deadline is June 30, 2026. Model 721 declarations for foreign-held crypto must be filed between January 1 and March 31. Wealth Tax (if applicable) shares the June 30, 2026 deadline.

What happens if I don’t report crypto taxes?

Failure to accurately declare crypto income, gains, or holdings may result in:

  • Severe financial penalties—up to five times the undeclared amount in serious cases
  • Daily fines for incomplete Model 721 filings (€200–€150 increments)
  • Risk of tax investigations and criminal prosecution (including possible imprisonment for aggravated fraud)
  • Asset seizures—including compulsory seizure of crypto via exchange cooperation

Prompt and accurate reporting is the only way to secure your financial future in Spain’s increasingly regulated crypto sector.

By understanding Spain’s crypto tax requirements—and leveraging innovative platforms like WEEX—you can confidently turn regulatory complexity into strategic advantage in 2025 and beyond.

US-Iran Tensions Boil Over: How War Rewires the Crypto Market

Middle East Escalation: Bitcoin Leads the "War Premium"

Over the past 96 hours, the global order has been shaken to its core. As the only 24/7 financial frontline, the crypto market has been the first to "foot the bill" for the war premium:

February 28: The US and Israel launch massive airstrikes, deploying over 1,200 missiles. Bitcoin (BTC) flash-crashes 4.4%, while Gold and Crude Oil spike 1.3% and 4%, respectively.Same day: Reports confirm the death of Iran’s Supreme Leader Khamenei and several high-ranking officials. As rumors of the "decapitation strike" conclude, BTC stages a aggressive V-shaped recovery, while Gold enters a consolidation phase.March 1–2: Iranian forces retaliate with missile strikes against US and Israeli positions. While the Foreign Ministry initially denies intentions to block the Strait of Hormuz, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) officially closes the chokepoint on March 2, sending oil prices into the stratosphere.March 3: Donald Trump asserts US military superiority, stating the military is "locked and loaded." Concurrently, capital flight from Iranian crypto exchanges surges by 700%.

Because traditional markets are closed over the weekend, crypto has become the ultimate "relief valve" and 24/7 outlet for investors to hedge risks and bet on real-time developments.

A Look at the Rearview Mirror: History Doesn’t Repeat, But It Rhymes

Past geopolitical conflicts show a strikingly consistent pattern: Short-term emotional shockwaves followed by mid-to-long-term rallies driven by safe-haven demand and liquidity expectations.

2022 Russia-Ukraine War: BTC dropped 7% on Day 1 but rallied 25% within a month.2023 Israel-Hamas Conflict: BTC dipped 5% in a week, only to surge over 80% three months later.2025 Iran-Israel Clash: An initial 7.5% weekly slide was followed by a 25% recovery within 30 days.

When chaos breaks out, liquidity is often the first casualty, and Bitcoin usually bears the brunt of the initial "sell everything" panic. However, its identity as a "non-sovereign asset" eventually brings it back to its original trajectory—and often beyond.

"This Time is Different": The New Guard

To be specific, the market resilience is markedly stronger than before.

Since the fourth halving, institutional players have taken the wheel. While the current conflict is arguably more intense than previous ones, Bitcoin’s drawdowns are shallower and shorter.

Simultaneously, spot ETFs and institutional "Diamond Hands" are playing the long game; they don’t liquidate over weekend headlines. This structural maturity provides a massive liquidity buffer that absorbs emotional selling.

The conflict is far from over. If the Strait of Hormuz remains blocked for the long haul, the market narrative will shift from a simple "inflation hedge" to a "global recession defense".

While the smoke of war has been seen, a new financial order is quietly taking root on-chain. We are keeping a close monitor.

What Is USDC Staking and How Does It Work on WEEX?

Why Stake USDC? Benefits of Earning Yield on Stablecoins

Stablecoins play a crucial role in digital asset portfolios. USDC, as one of the most widely adopted stable assets, is widely used as trading collateral, a hedging tool during volatile market conditions, and a core asset for capital allocation across different strategies. Its price stability makes it an essential component for both active traders and long-term investors managing risk exposure.

However, idle USDC often generates no return. WEEX USDC Staking addresses this inefficiency by allowing users to earn yield on their stable assets without sacrificing liquidity or flexibility. By transforming dormant capital into productive assets, it enhances overall capital efficiency — delivering value in both bullish and bearish market cycles.

USDC Staking APR, Flexibility, and Key Advantages on WEEX

WEEX USDC Staking offers a competitive and stable 3.5% APR, allowing users to earn consistent returns on their USDC holdings without exposure to significant market volatility.

This makes it an efficient solution for generating predictable returns with a conservative risk profile.

The product is designed with flexibility at its core. Users can subscribe and redeem funds based on their liquidity needs, without being restricted by long lock-up periods. This ensures greater control over capital allocation, whether for active trading or strategic portfolio management.

In addition, WEEX USDC Staking is fully integrated within the WEEX ecosystem. All operations are completed directly through the WEEX App or Web, eliminating the need for external wallets or complex DeFi interactions. By transforming idle USDC into yield-generating assets, the product enhances overall capital efficiency while preserving accessibility.

Who Should Stake USDC? Benefits for Crypto Traders and Long-Term Investors

For active traders on WEEX, USDC Staking provides a way to put idle funds to work. Instead of leaving unused USDC sitting in an account between trades, users can generate yield while maintaining the flexibility to reallocate capital when new market opportunities arise.

For long-term holders and risk-conscious investors, USDC Staking offers a relatively stable income option within the platform. By earning yield on stable assets, users can enhance portfolio performance without taking on additional exposure to price volatility.

Overall, WEEX USDC Staking improves capital efficiency across different user profiles. Whether optimizing short-term liquidity or seeking steady passive returns, users can manage, grow, and access their assets seamlessly within the WEEX ecosystem.

BTC Approaches $60K: Crypto Isn't Dead, It's Just Filtering the Noise

Macro disturbances, leverage collapses, and sluggish trading volumes are the hallmarks of every crypto bear market.

Let's temporarily step back from the AI bubble of June 2028 and focus on the crypto market in February 2026. Recently, BTC has fallen back to the $60K level, and the market is quiet and sluggish. We've reached another critical juncture where we should learn from history.

To truly grasp the "chill" in 2026, we first need to break down what happened during those "freezing moments" in previous bear markets.

The ICO Bubble Burst and Regulatory Winter of 2018

2018 marked a full year of the crypto market swinging from euphoric bull runs to a deep freeze bear phase. Bitcoin plummeted from its late — peak of nearly $20,000 to around $3,200 in 2017, with the overall market cap evaporating by over 80%. The industry went through the growing pains of shifting from wild speculation to more grounded buildings.

The key themes of this bear market were "liquidity drought and shattered faith."

The macro environment back then was brutally harsh:

- Global economic recovery was sluggish, and the Fed kicked off a rate-hike cycle, raising rates four times that year and ending with the federal funds rate at 2.25%-2.50%;

- China had already banned ICOs and exchanges the previous year, and in 2018, the U.S. SEC ramped up scrutiny and lawsuits, with many countries and regions following suit with their own bans.

At the same time, the massive wealth-creating ICO frenzy from 2017 finally popped, with hacks hitting platforms like Mt.Gox and Bitfinex fueling the panic. Many mining operations have been shut down in droves, and "blockchain is a scam" became the mainstream media's go-to narrative.

In terms of impact, this bear cycle wiped out over 95% of ICO projects, but as every cloud has a silver lining, it paved the way for the DeFi boom in the next bull run. Some institutions started dipping their toes into Bitcoin on a small scale.

The Leverage Meltdown and Rate-Hike Crisis of 2022

In 2022, Bitcoin tumbled from $69,000 to around $15,000, with the drop less severe than in 2018.

Compared to 2018, the 2022 bear market was also fueled by macro disruptions and a restructuring of the existing ecosystem.

Macros sucked up liquidity like a vacuum:

- Post- pandemic economies were dealing with persistent high inflation, and the Fed hiked rates seven times to 4.25%-4.50%, marking the fastest, largest, and most frequent dollar rate increases since 1982.

- Regulatory pressures escalated again, with the EU reaching key agreements on MiCA regulations, and the U.S. SEC tightening enforcement on stablecoins and exchanges.

Inside the crypto space, it was a chain reaction starting with the Terra/Luna algorithmic stablecoin collapse, which dragged down Celsius, Three Arrows, FTX, and others into bankruptcy. Sectors like NFTs, GameFi, and the metaverse fell into a deep slumber.

Even though the market turned chilly once more, long-term holders (LTH) started hitting record-high holdings, institutions like MicroStrategy ramped up their stakes dramatically, and the purge of CeFi ecosystems sped up the rise of self-custody, Layer2 solutions, and more.

In-depth compliance review in 2026

Heading into 2026, Bitcoin has broken below $80K, $70K, and $60K one after another. The Fear & Greed Index has spent a whopping 26 days in extreme fear territory over the past month, and Google searches for "Bitcoin is dead" have spiked to all-time highs—familiar bear market vibes making a comeback.

Compared to the past, the spread of market risks has intensified short-term sell-offs, but the underlying logic is a bit different:

- Even though we're in a mild rate-cutting phase right now, as we discussed in "Gold & Silver Hit New Highs, Is Bitcoin's Safe-Haven Narrative Losing Its Luster?", funds are flocking to gold and silver for shelter amid escalating sovereign debt crises, U.S. tariff trade wars, and potential threats to Fed independence. A certain number of crowds even reckon that AI has overtaken Web3 as the hot tech story, putting crypto right in the crosshairs.

- On the regulatory front, U.S. crypto policies have turned more friendly, but the odds of the CLARITY bill passing have taken a nosedive.

Of course, in this round of innovation narratives, we've seen a ton of high-funding, high-FDV infrastructure projects without real revenue keep tumbling. Narratives like Layer2, Restaking, and Memecoins have gone quiet, while the ETF story has ushered in an institution-dominated era. Right now, privacy, prediction markets, and stablecoins are still leading the pack.

If we look at volatility, as shown in the chart below, Bitcoin's 60-day average volatility has been trending downward year by year—a clear shift. Unlike the bubble bursts of 2018 or the leverage blowups of 2022, 2026 feels more like a weary adjustment. Although it was cold, it felt more like a mild winter.

While it's too early to call it the "market bottom", it's clear that the chill in 2026 isn't the dramatic crash of old bear cycles — more like a deep recalibration in this era of hyper-compliance.

For investors, the long-term upward potential in crypto markets far outweighs the downside risks. However, where will the next wave of narratives pivot to? As the proverb says, "Time will tell" — let's keep our eyes peeled.
