【Crypto World】The U.S. Senate’s regulatory review of the crypto market structure this week could trigger a variety of high-impact scenarios. According to the probability-weighted scenario analysis by 10x Research, different outcomes such as bipartisan consensus breakthrough, unilateral party-driven actions, and last-minute “poison pill” amendments will have vastly different impacts on cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP, and others.

Policy uncertainty may lead to sharp volatility in BTC prices. Meanwhile, mainstream coins like SOL, ETH, XRP, and others will also face rapid rotation, and the regulatory outlook for stablecoins and the DeFi ecosystem remains under observation. The outcome of this review will have profound implications for infrastructure such as exchanges and wallets, as well as the structural changes in the entire crypto asset market. Market participants should closely monitor the latest developments in the Senate.

BTC4,8%

ETH7,48%

SOL5,53%

XRP5,84%

Here comes the policy card again... Really, every time there's this kind of announcement, and what happens? Still a sharp drop. I don't understand why the Senate is still dithering; they should have made a decision by now. I just want to know what this "poison pill" amendment means... It sounds unsafe just hearing about it. Wait, should I reduce my position first? Feels like the risk is pretty high. Are we about to start rotating again? So annoying... I can't even sit still holding coins.

Here we go again with this set? The Senate is bickering, and we crypto enthusiasts just have to ride the roller coaster. --- Listening to this makes me sleepy; might as well just look at the candlestick charts. --- Poison pill amendment? Ha, they’re about to dump the market again. --- When can we stop having to look at American faces? --- If SOL drops this time, I’ll buy the dip. Anyway, it’s all a gamble. --- Every time they say "must closely monitor," what’s the point? If it drops, it drops. --- Will ETH be directly rendered worthless? I’m feeling a bit scared. --- It’s just a gamble that politicians won’t dare to really kill us, that’s all. --- Let’s wait for the Senate resolution to come out; all current discussions are pointless. --- Can XRP turn things around this time? Hoping for some mercy from the veterans.

actually, let me break this down—the real variable here isn't just *what* they regulate, but *how* they define it. ceteris paribus, if they classify eth as non-security infrastructure vs bitcoin as commodity, the incentive alignment completely shifts

Here comes the regulatory drama again. What kind of tricks can the Senate pull this time? Can btc still survive properly? The poison pill amendment, huh? I'm just waiting to see who will take the bait. Wait, does this mean a dump is coming? What should I do with the sol in my hands? This group of people in the Senate really always keeps everyone on edge. Waiting for the rotation, who knows who will win in the end. This policy uncertainty is more torturous than market fluctuations. Another palace intrigue, the crypto world has become their puppet. Feels like no matter how I invest, it's all arranged.
