US crypto policy: Tax breaks, SEC cases dropped, Bitcoin Reserve plans unfold - In the rapidly evolving world of cryptocurrency, regulatory shifts, legal battles and groundbreaking policy proposals are shaping the industry’s future. The premiere episode of The Clear Crypto Podcast by Cointelegraph and StarkWare brings in a legal expert specializing in the crypto industry to help shed light on the state of crypto regulation in the US, ongoing enforcement actions and the growing role of Bitcoin in government reserves.Crypto regulation in fluxWith the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under a transformed leadership in the Trump administration, the regulatory landscape is undergoing significant changes. High-profile lawsuits against Coinbase, Consensys, Binance and Tron have either been settled or dropped, signaling a new chapter for the industry.Cointelegraph head of multimedia Gareth Jenkinson highlighted the importance of these shifts, noting how enforcement actions have played a pivotal role in shaping the industry’s approach to compliance. He recalled past conversations with Consensys CEO and Ethereum co-founder Joe Lubin saying: “If no one took the legal battle to the SEC, the industry just would have been regulated into the ground and it would have just been a wasteland.” The recent wave of case closures, including investigations into Uniswap, OpenSea and Gemini, marks a stark departure from the SEC’s previous approach.Related: SEC dropping XRP case was ‘priced in’ since Trump’s election: AnalystsLawyers as protectors of innovationKatherine Kirkpatrick Bos, general counsel at StarkWare, also touched on the crucial role legal professionals play in the space in this pivotal moment. “The real value of a crypto lawyer is being dialed in —publishing, analyzing risks, and ensuring companies stay compliant while enabling innovation.”She underscored the integrity within the crypto legal community, saying, “Most crypto lawyers are here for the right reasons — to protect builders and facilitate growth. Of course, bad actors exist, but the broader industry operates with a high level of integrity.”Keeping up in a fast-paced industryWith regulatory shifts, legal battles and policy proposals unfolding at an unprecedented pace, staying informed is more challenging than ever. “Three massive news events happened in just three weeks — the Libra memecoin scandal, the Bitcoin reserve proposal, and the Bybit hack,” Jenkinson noted. “In crypto, you can’t sleep. You need a 24-hour news operation to keep up.”As the US moves toward potential regulatory reforms and institutional adoption of Bitcoin, industry participants must remain vigilant. Whether it’s monitoring tax policy changes, tracking enforcement actions or preparing for a Bitcoin-backed financial future, the landscape is shifting rapidly. And for those navigating it, understanding these changes is not just beneficial, it’s essential.To hear the full conversation on The Clear Crypto Podcast, listen to the full episode on Cointelegraph’s Podcasts page, Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

SuperTrend Analysis: Dogecoin May Enter Bullish Territory If It Surpasses $0.21 - Dogecoin (DOGE), the leading memecoin in the cryptocurrency market, is showing signs of a potential bullish trend following a significant 16% price recovery. Analysts suggest that for Dogecoin to solidify this upward momentum, it must surpass a crucial resistance level. Dogecoin Eyes New Bullish Trend Amid Market Recovery The recent price movements of Dogecoin have been influenced by broader market trends and macroeconomic factors, particularly the fallout from President Donald Trump’s tariff policies. After reaching a yearly high of $0.4350 on January 18, Dogecoin experienced a dramatic decline, plummeting 67% to a low of $0.1430 on March 11. However, the recent positive performance indicates that a new bullish wave may be emerging. Related Reading: Dogecoin Price Prediction: Analyst says There Is 100% Chance Of A Bullish Rally, Here’s Why Market analyst Ali Martinez has pointed in a recent social media post on X (formerly Twitter) to the SuperTrend indicator, a technical analysis tool that helps identify price trends, suggesting that Dogecoin could enter a bullish phase if it successfully breaks through the resistance level at $0.21. The analyst further identified the key support floor for the Dogecoin price at $0.177, which will be crucial in determining whether the token can sustain its recovery or if it will face another downtrend. Should Dogecoin fail to hold this support level, it could revisit once again the $0.14 price point, where significant buying pressure previously helped support the price. This scenario could erase the gains made over the last two weeks. Eyeing $0.50 And Potential All-Time High Of $1.60 Adding weight to Martinez’s analysis, data from Glassnode reveals that 7% of Dogecoin’s total supply is concentrated at the $0.20 mark, which is the third-largest concentration after $0.17 and $0.07. According to Glassnode, this concentration suggests that the $0.20 level may act as a formidable resistance point in the near term, as many wallets likely acquired their holdings at lower prices. In a more positive note for the token and despite the current uncertainties surrounding Dogecoin’s price, analysts remain optimistic about the memecoin’s long-term prospects. Related Reading: Bitcoin Marks 114 Weeks In Active Buy Signal On The SuperTrend Weekly, But Things Could Turn Bad If This Happens According to experts like AMCrypto, Dogecoin has recently tested a multi-year support trendline, indicating a potential for sustained upward movement. “Memes are slowly moving up now, and I expect DOGE to lead the rally,” one analyst stated, setting a target of $0.50 in the second quarter of the year. Other analysts, including ChartingGuy, have suggested that Dogecoin could aim for a new all-time high of $1.60, representing a staggering potential increase of 742% from its current levels and surpassing its previous record of $0.7316.
