Bitcoin has climbed back to around $114,650 after a brief drop to $113,000, driven by renewed global interest and emerging regulatory clarity. From Washington to Paris and London, political and financial leaders are beginning to treat crypto as a serious economic factor, even as resistance from establishment voices remains.

U.S. Moves Toward Split Crypto Oversight

In a long-awaited development, the White House has proposed a framework to divide regulatory responsibilities between the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The CFTC would be tasked with overseeing crypto spot markets, while the SEC would remain focused on digital securities.

This proposal reflects the “same risk, same rules” approach previously supported by the Trump administration. Legal experts, including blockchain attorney Edwin Mata, suggest this structure aligns with recent court rulings and provides long-needed clarity for investors and developers. The SEC’s recent retreat from its legal battle over XRP has added to optimism in the market.

Stablecoins are also part of the discussion, with U.S. regulators acknowledging their potential to reinforce the dollar’s strength, a move likely to appeal to fiscally conservative policymakers.

France Backs Nuclear-Powered Bitcoin Mining

France’s National Rally (RN) party is pushing a bold new proposal to use excess nuclear energy for Bitcoin mining. RN leader Marine Le Pen, previously skeptical of crypto, now supports turning surplus electricity into a strategic asset. Party lawmaker Aurélien Lopez-Liguori has suggested state utility Électricité de France (EDF) lead the effort by creating mining hubs at nuclear facilities.

The initiative is designed to reduce energy waste and boost France’s digital asset capabilities. If implemented, it could set a precedent for sustainable mining across Europe. However, the plan faces opposition from green-left parties, which remain critical of mining’s environmental footprint, despite the proposal’s focus on clean, unused energy.

Osborne: UK Falling Behind in Crypto Innovation

Former UK Chancellor George Osborne has warned that the United Kingdom risks falling behind in the rapidly advancing crypto sector. Drawing parallels to the 1980s Big Bang deregulation, Osborne criticized the Bank of England’s rigid stablecoin rules and the government’s overall lack of direction.

With around 12% of UK adults owning digital assets, Osborne argued that the country needs to move quickly or lose talent and investment to countries with more welcoming frameworks, such as Singapore and the UAE.

Bitcoin Technical Outlook: $115K Resistance in Sight

Technically, Bitcoin is approaching a key resistance level at $115,343. A bullish RSI (Relative Strength Index) divergence suggests waning selling pressure, but indecisive candlestick patterns show short-term caution. A breakout above resistance could send BTC toward $116,912 and $118,878, while failure could trigger a slide back to $113,558 or even $112,178.
