Bitcoin rose toward $79,700 alongside gold while European equities fell, a notable shift in cross-asset behavior ahead of U.S. inflation data and next weekβs Fed meeting.

Germany moves to end one-year tax exemption for new bitcoin gains
|
|
Germany is preparing to tax gains on crypto bought after Dec. 31, 2026 regardless of how long the assets are held, ending the long-standing one-year exemption for new positions. Existing holdings would keep current treatment, but the shift would move bitcoin and ether closer to Germanyβs flat investment-tax regime.

Trump earned $1.4 BILLION from crypto last year, more than his entire real estate empire, and is urging Congress to pass the bill before September 15.

Total Crypto Market Cap just flashed its first Golden Cross since the bear market began.
The last time this happened, in 2023, it marked the start of the major market reversal. https://t.co/NzgJzkA5FA

If we assume the bottom of this cycle was set on July 1, 2026, which increasingly seems to be confirmed ,we can observe that this bear market wasn't the toughest one for investors.
To put this in context, between 2022 and this market top, Bitcoin's total market cap grew by 742%, ending up more than twice as high as the 2021 top.
One might logically have expected realized losses to explode during this bear market, but that's not what happened. It's still the previous bear market that was the most brutal, with $211B in realized losses, compared to $191B during this one.
The players are changing, and conviction in Bitcoin has strongly contributed to this new dynamic.
Who knows, the next bear market could turn out to be even less severe.
