Fidelity Warns Bitcoin’s Bear Market May Not Be Over Despite August Rall

Fidelity Digital Assets has cautioned that Bitcoin’s strong August performance does not necessarily mean the cryptocurrency’s broader bear market has ended. While the latest rally has improved market conditions, the firm said investors should still consider the possibility of another market bottom later this year. Bitcoin posted its strongest monthly gain since late 2024 during August, while Ethereum and other major cryptocurrencies also recorded substantial advances. The move has led some investors to argue that the market may have already established a bottom. Key Takeaways Fidelity said Bitcoin’s bear market may not be over despite its strong August recovery. The four-year cycle model places potential attention on November 2026, although Fidelity stressed that the pattern is not a reliable timing tool. Bitcoin gained more than 25% during the third week of August, while Ethereum and Solana rose 34.1% and 28%, respectively. Growing stablecoin activity, real-world asset adoption, insti...

Poland Rejects Crypto Bill Veto as Zondacrypto Scandal Expands

Poland’s lawmakers have again fallen short of the supermajority required to overturn President Karol Nawrocki’s veto of a bill intended to tighten crypto oversight. On Friday, the Sejm voted 241-198 to override the veto, but with three abstentions the measure missed the 266 votes needed by 25—marking yet another failed push to set a national framework for applying the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA). The renewed vote comes as Poland grapples with fallout from the Zondacrypto scandal. The case has widened amid bankruptcy proceedings against Zondacrypto’s Estonian operator and references by Prime Minister Donald Tusk to testimony alleging improper attempts to influence political figures. Key takeaways The Sejm’s override attempt failed 25 votes short of the 266 needed for passage, leaving Nawrocki’s veto in place. The bill would have assigned crypto market supervision to Poland’s Financial Supervision Authority (KNF) as MiCA applies across the EU. KNF has said Polan...

Poland Keeps Crypto Bill Veto as Zondacrypto Probe Expands

Poland’s lawmakers have once again fallen short of the supermajority needed to overturn President Karol Nawrocki’s veto of a bill intended to tighten oversight of the country’s crypto market. On Friday, the Sejm voted 241–198 in favor of overriding the veto, with three abstentions, leaving the proposal 25 votes short of the 266 required for passage. The vote was the latest attempt to move the legislation forward after Nawrocki vetoed similar crypto rules three separate times, arguing the draft would impose excessive constraints on the industry. The renewed push comes as Prime Minister Donald Tusk highlights an expanding criminal investigation tied to the defunct exchange Zondacrypto—an issue that has added urgency for regulators and lawmakers to formalize a clearer supervisory framework. Key takeaways The Sejm’s 241–198 vote confirms support for overriding the president, but it still missed the three-fifths threshold by 25 votes. Poland still does not have a designated national sup...
