In the first 24 hours of 2026, three major shifts have occurred in the world of crypto assets. Looking at just one is already astonishing; combined, they truly open a new door.
First: JPMorgan officially announced that Bitcoin can be used as collateral for loans. It sounds simple, but the implications are profound—traditionally the most conservative fortress of finance, openly treating Bitcoin as a genuine asset class rather than a speculative tool. It’s like your treasured belongings, suddenly recognized by a bank as collateral for buying a house—completely changing the nature of the asset.
Second: The United States led an agreement with 47 countries to establish an automatic sharing mechanism for crypto trading data. On the surface, this appears to be tighter regulation; in reality, it’s quite the opposite—laying the groundwork for global capital flows. Large institutions hesitated to enter on a large scale before because of vague rules and unclear pathways. Now that the rules are set and the pathways are clear, institutional funds are willing to make big moves. This is the true foundation of compliant infrastructure.
Third: Iran announced that it will accept cryptocurrencies for international trade payments to circumvent sanctions. This isn’t small-scale transactions but the settlement of strategic goods like missiles and drones. When a country relies on encrypted networks to break through financial barriers in the most serious trade scenarios, it shows that this system’s resilience has passed the most rigorous stress tests.
So, the current situation is: on the same day, Bitcoin is recognized by top-tier banks, integrated into international regulatory frameworks, and driven by geopolitical realities. This is no longer a speculative question of “Will it rise?” but a real issue of “The global financial system is already operating this way—how will you respond?”
The old story—the narrative of wild swings and casino-like chaos—is coming to an end. The new story—the era of treating crypto assets as fundamental tools for global finance and politics—has already begun.
All of this was accomplished within the first 24 hours of the new year. Are you going to remain an observer, or become an early participant in this new story? The answer lies in your decision.
