Geopolitical tensions are rising. Crypto legislation is stalled. And pressure on the Federal Reserve is intensifying.
So why are Bitcoin and the broader crypto market holding strong?
In this episode of Bits + Bips: The Interview, Steve Ehrlich sits down with Zach Pandl, Director of Research at Grayscale Investments, to unpack what’s been driving markets since 2026 began, from Washington’s regulatory battles to global instability and the Fed’s fight to maintain independence.
They break down where U.S. crypto policy stands, why Wall Street isn’t waiting for Congress, and how macro forces like inflation, debt, and geopolitics are shaping crypto’s next move.
