Huoxun Finance News, January 22 – According to CoinDesk, PwC stated in its "Global Cryptocurrency Regulation Report" that cryptocurrency regulation will become clearer this year as legislation progresses from draft to law globally, with countries offering more transparent cryptocurrency rules leading the industry's development. The report argues that the environment will be defined less by regulatory debates and more by the enforcement and competition within each jurisdiction to attract capital and establish legitimacy. Increased cross-border collaboration aims to enhance market integrity, prevent financial crime, and protect investors. For crypto businesses, this means higher compliance costs, but also clearer rules, potentially leading to new products, banking access, and deeper institutional participation.

According to CoinDesk analysis, Bitcoin's price relative to gold is currently in a deep bear market, consistently underperforming gold, which may challenge its "digital gold" narrative. Currently, the Bitcoin/gold ratio is approximately 18.46, down about 55% from its peak in December 2024, and about 17% below its 200-week moving average (approximately 21.90). Over longer periods, gold has outperformed Bitcoin in both the past one and five years. Historical data shows that in previous major bear market cycles, the Bitcoin/gold ratio has fallen more than 30% below its 200-week moving average (in 2022) and remained below it for over a year. The current break below this level began in November 2025, and if history repeats itself, the ratio could remain below the moving average throughout 2026. However, the largest drawdowns in past cycles have also been deeper, reaching 77% and 84% in the 2022 and 2018 cycles, respectively.
