Basel Reform May Bring Wave of Fresh Bank Capital to BTC — Analyst

The Basel III rules, which govern bank capital requirements, are set to be updated in 2026, and if Bitcoin (BTC) receives a lower risk rating in the revised rules, it could potentially trigger a “huge” influx of liquidity into BTC, according to market analyst Nic Puckrin. Under the current Basel rules, BTC and similar digital assets are given a 1,250% risk weight, meaning banks must hold reserve assets at a 1:1 ratio to back any Bitcoin held on their balance sheets, Puckrin said.

This chart perfectly illustrates the current situation for altcoins. Investors remain cautious and continue to lose interest in altcoins.”  The percentage of altcoins trading at or near…
