Opinion: Crypto Prices Remain in "Winter," But Institutional Adoption Enters "Summer"
Odaily News: STS Digital CEO Maxime Seiler stated that the current crypto market is experiencing a phase of divergence between price performance and institutional adoption trends. While token prices remain depressed, institutional deployment of blockchain technology continues to accelerate.Speaking at the 2026 Wyoming Blockchain Symposium, Maxime Seiler remarked, "From a price perspective, we are still in a crypto winter, but from an institutional development standpoint, we have entered an institutional summer." He pointed out that traditional financial institutions are currently more focused on adopting the underlying blockchain technology rather than directly allocating significant capital to crypto assets, which is why the growth in technology adoption has not yet been fully reflected in token prices.Data shows that Bitcoin is currently hovering above $77,000, still approximately 38% below its historical high of $126,000; Ethereum is trading around $2,400, down about 52% from its all-time high; and Solana is around $90.93, down approximately 69% from its peak.Maxime Seiler also noted that the convergence of Bitcoin futures basis reflects the maturing of the crypto market. During the 2021 cycle, the annualized futures basis once reached 20%-30%, but it has now gradually approached the risk-free rate level with significantly reduced volatility. He believes this is mainly due to the continuous improvement of channels for dollars to flow in and out of the crypto market, which has reduced market volatility. (The Block)

USDT’s supply declined for the first time since Q2 2022, falling to $184.1 billion; USDC grew 2.4% to $77.1 billion; and USD1—issued by WLFI—rose 32.5%, boosted by Binance’s airdrop campaign.

Tom Lee: Crypto "Mini Winter" May Have Ended, ETH Could Surge to $60,000
Odaily News Bitmine Chairman Tom Lee stated at the Paris Blockchain Week 2026 conference that the current downturn in the crypto market resembles a "mini crypto winter" and may be nearing its end. He believes that risk assets have already bottomed out amidst "bad news" such as geopolitical conflicts.He pointed out that Ethereum is expected to break out of its long-term consolidation and will benefit from the tokenization trend and the development of on-chain AI (agentic AI) applications in the future. If his market assumptions hold true, the price of ETH could move towards the $60,000 level, with a long-term fair value potentially reaching around $62,000 (based on his estimate of Ethereum reaching approximately one-fourth of Bitcoin's market capitalization).Lee emphasized that the U.S. stock market has already bottomed out first, leading to a recovery in risk assets, while this round of crypto correction is a rare "non-synchronized bear market cycle with the stock market." He also mentioned that markets often form bottoms after major negative events such as wars. As of now, ETH has fallen by about 43% from its October 2025 high, and the market remains in a clear volatile range. (Cointelegraph)
