Bitcoin breached the critical $73,000 support level on February 3, 2026, dropping to $72,884 and marking its lowest price since November 2024.

Compliance costs are rising, smaller platforms face pressure, and institutional participation is expected to increase as regulatory clarity improves. The era of practical anonymity in European crypto markets has effectively ended.
