An institution bought up 10,000 BTC in a single day. Logically, such a big move should have caused some waves, right? But the market didn’t budge at all, and it even seemed to lean a bit downward. This kind of operation leaves people completely puzzled—is the market just that calm, or is there some game being played that we don’t understand?

Honestly, Bitcoin is just stuck grinding around $90,000 right now. The bulls aren’t showing much momentum, and the bears don’t dare to push hard either. This kind of choppy market is the most exhausting, and it feels like we’re in for another period of sideways action.

But there is some explosive news: the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission announced that starting in January next year, BTC, ETH, and USDC can be used directly as collateral in the derivatives market. This is no small matter—traditional financial systems are officially starting to accept crypto assets as collateral, which is a real breakthrough for regulatory compliance and institutional entry into the industry.

Mining 10,000 BTC but no splash, it shows the market is well aware of what's going on. What are they all waiting for? Consolidation is frustrating, right? I actually like this kind of market because it prevents me from frequently taking losses. The policy from the CFTC is the real highlight; the official signal for institutional entry has been sounded. More and more institutions with deep pockets are coming in, and I, as a small retail investor, can't understand their playbook. 90,000 has truly become a hurdle — it can't go up, and it can't go down either, so frustrating. Wait, if that's the case, traditional big capital will start building positions aggressively... my small crypto wallet might be saved. Finally, real progress is being made on compliance; it used to be just talk and no action.

If ten thousand coins are thrown in, the market still remains unmoved? How many invisible hands are resisting? It feels like they're testing the bottom defense line. Is the Federal Reserve planning to accept BTC as collateral? That's a real bomb—much more explosive than daily sweeping purchases. The push for compliance is really moving forward. Now we're just waiting for the policy to be implemented in January. When institutional funds truly open the gates, the sideways trading period is just a time to accumulate strength.

Ten thousand coins can be swallowed without a ripple, indicating that there are bigger players secretly injecting liquidity into the market. As retail investors, we can't really understand what's going on. The position around ninety thousand is really uncomfortable; it’s hard to go up, and hard to go down. It feels like they’re giving institutions time to accumulate. But the news about CFTC is quite interesting; traditional finance has officially given the green light. This is a long-term positive signal. Accumulation operations like this have long ceased to be surprising; the key is to see how they distribute later. Whether it’s sideways trading or not, it doesn't matter. We’re not in a hurry, just worried about a sudden black swan event. If the policies announced in January next year really get implemented, retail investors will have a chance. The bulls have been a bit sluggish these days, but their bottom line should still be there. Ninety thousand is just a psychological barrier; only after breaking through will there be a story to tell. The purpose of this institutional maneuver is really hard to guess; frankly, they’re just laying the groundwork for subsequent price increases.

Buying 10,000 coins can’t even move the market? Just how inactive is this market... Either that, or someone is secretly building a position. It’s been sideways for so long, I really can’t hold on anymore. Just waiting to see if the CFTC policy boost can save the market.

Ten thousand BTC dumped and there wasn’t even a splash—now that’s the truly terrifying part... Shows everyone’s watching the US SEC’s hand. No matter how tough the market gets, you’ve got to hold on. Once the new regulations land in January next year, the threshold for traditional capital to enter will drop significantly—this is not just hype. Grinding below 90,000 is totally normal, the volatility is just shaking out weak hands. Don’t get fooled by the technicals. Why are we stuck at 90,000 and not breaking higher? Feels like the big players are holding back for a major move, just waiting for that catalyst. Regulatory compliance is only a matter of time. Using USDC directly as collateral is really a game changer—those traditional finance guys are getting serious now. Enough with the clickbait headlines like “not moving an inch.” It’s clearly building up energy, and newbies are the easiest to shake out. This round of accumulation is more significant than the price action itself. Institutions are betting on regulatory advantages; we’re watching the charts, but they’re watching policy windows. Looks like we’re ranging again. I’m honestly so fed up with this market. Might as well wait for January’s data before making any moves.

Can't even move the market with 10,000 tokens? This buying pressure is just ridiculous, feels like they're just feeding ammo to the bears. It's been sideways for so long that I'm numb. Just waiting for the CFTC decision to drop—once the compliance license is in place, only then will institutions dare to put real money in.

Even dumping 10,000 BTC in has no effect—that's what's truly scary... What does this mean? The whales have already seen right through it. The sideways movement lately has been really dull, but that CFTC news is actually kind of interesting. Traditional finance recognizing crypto assets as collateral—that's a real long-term positive.

Ten thousand tokens swept in and the price still goes down? That’s just ridiculous, feels like someone’s putting on a show. I totally agree about the sideways grind being exhausting. Watching it bounce around 90,000 every day is really draining. But the CFTC thing is definitely huge. Traditional finance recognizing crypto collateral—now that’s a real big deal.
