Cantor Fitzgerald believes the current Bitcoin and crypto downturn may be more of a temporary pullback than the start of a prolonged crypto winter.

In a new CNBC interview, analyst Brett Knoblauch says that shorter drawdowns so far this cycle, Federal Reserve rate cuts, the absence of a major “black swan” event, and growing regulatory support in the US and abroad could be signs that more than half of any potential decline may already be over.

“I think if you look at the previous kind of cycles, the peak to trough duration is about 364 days. We are 85 days into that, but I think there’s a lot of positive momentum that suggests that this might not be a crypto winter. It could just be a pullback. We’ve already had 330% pullbacks this cycle right. We have the Fed is cutting rates. The past two winters have started with the Fed raising rates. We have no real black swan-esque events.”

According to the analyst, the absence of an FTX-level catastrophic market event bodes well for crypto in its current downturn.

“If you go back in the past couple of cycles you had the Mount Gox hack, you had FTX bankruptcy. We haven’t really had anything. I would say, blowing up in the ecosystem so far to be that black swan event. And if you look at peak to trough pull down, I don’t think we’re going to have a 75% pullback, which is what the previous cycles have had. We have a ton of I would think, regulatory support.

People in government kind of supporting crypto not just in the US but across across the world. So I think if anything, if we are in winter more than half the pullback has probably happened.”

UK crypto holders brace for FCA’s expanded regulatory reach

UK crypto holders brace for FCA’s expanded regulatory reach

The post UK crypto holders brace for FCA’s expanded regulatory reach appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. British crypto holders may soon face a very different landscape as the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) moves to expand its regulatory reach in the industry. A new consultation paper outlines how the watchdog intends to apply its rulebook to crypto firms, shaping everything from asset safeguarding to trading platform operation. According to the financial regulator, these proposals would translate into clearer protections for retail investors and stricter oversight of crypto firms. UK FCA plans Until now, UK crypto users mostly encountered the FCA through rules on promotions and anti-money laundering checks. The consultation paper goes much further. It proposes direct oversight of stablecoin issuers, custodians, and crypto-asset trading platforms (CATPs). For investors, that means the wallets, exchanges, and coins they rely on could soon be subject to the same governance and resilience standards as traditional financial institutions. The regulator has also clarified that firms need official authorization before serving customers. This condition should, in theory, reduce the risk of sudden platform failures or unclear accountability. David Geale, the FCA’s executive director of payments and digital finance, said the proposals are designed to strike a balance between innovation and protection. He explained: “We want to develop a sustainable and competitive crypto sector – balancing innovation, market integrity and trust.” Geale noted that while the rules will not eliminate investment risks, they will create consistent standards, helping consumers understand what to expect from registered firms. Why does this matter for crypto holders? The UK regulatory framework shift would provide safer custody of assets, better disclosure of risks, and clearer recourse if something goes wrong. However, the regulator was also frank in its submission, arguing that no rulebook can eliminate the volatility or inherent risks of holding digital assets. Instead, the focus is on ensuring that when consumers choose to invest, they do…
