The product will give traders round-the-clock access to US equity options directly from their existing USDT-funded Bybit accounts, enabling them to build and manage positions strategically, unbound by traditional market hours. Trading in Perp Options is set to go live on September 17, 2026, at 20:00 UTC, with SpaceX and Nvidia as the first available underlyings. Tesla, QQQ, SOXL, and Micron, and more, are next in line, with plans to expand asset lineup on a rolling basis. “Traders today don’t think in terms of crypto versus traditional markets anymore, they want access to opportunities across markets and geographies. Bybit’s Perp Options gives them one account to trade across the artificial divide of asset classes: no waiting for the market to open, all strategies,” said Mike Xue, Head of Bybit Option Business. Bybit Perp Options will be settled in USDT and will integrate fully with Bybit’s Unified Trading Account (UTA), allowing users to hold perpetuals, options, and spot positions within a single account. Traders will be able to execute a full range of strategies at launch, including buying/selling naked options, spreads, straddles, and combination trades. The product will also support fractional lot sizes with a contract multiplier of one, forgoing the standard $25,000 minimum and 100-share lot requirements in traditional options markets. Bybit’s Perp Options contracts will be European-style and cash-settled, minimizing early assignment risk. Portfolio Margin support will allow positions in Perp Options to be cross-offset against related perpetual and spot holdings, reducing overall margin requirements while traders manage risk across asset classes. At launch, API trading, Demo Trade, and Trial Funds will be available to support both algorithmic traders and users new to options trading. The upcoming launch will position Bybit as the first in the industry to offer options on stock perpetuals, extending its existing TradFi perpetual contract liquidity into a new derivatives category. #Bybit / #NewFinancialPlatform About Bybit Bybit is The New Financial Platform.

GAP3 Partners FZCO is a Dubai-based Virtual Asset Service Provider that obtained an active license from the Dubai Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) last year. As a Co-Curator, GAP3 provides research, analysis, and recommendations to Shyft around each of its vault strategies. shCORE and shYIELD are Shyft’s first two Ethereum-based vaults. With their initial allocations established and vault contracts already deployed on mainnet, the two teams are now working on the curation framework as the vaults get ready for pre-deposits. shYIELD and shCORE shYIELD combines three different sources of yield: Radiant Prime, Maple syrupUSDC and Gauntlet USD Alpha. Here, Radiant Prime provides the market-neutral trading component. The strategy seeks relative-value opportunities across the crypto market while maintaining near-zero net market exposure. The execution takes place through centralized exchanges (CEXs). Meanwhile, Maple’s syrupUSDC introduces an on-chain credit component. This ERC-4626 vault generates yield mainly through overcollateralized lending to institutional borrowers, alongside additional strategies such as futures-basis trading and DeFi liquidity provision. Then there’s Gauntlet USD Alpha, which adds a stablecoin-oriented strategy to the mix. Together, these three give shYIELD exposure to different return mechanisms and make sure the vault isn’t concentrated around a single protocol or source of yield. The other vault being introduced is shCORE, which takes a different approach by combining Radiant Prime with Ondo USDY and Sky’s sUSDS. Ondo USDY here provides exposure to tokenized dollar yield backed by short-term U.S. Treasuries, while Sky’s sUSDS, which is described as a liquid, auto-compounding asset with its rate subject to change over time, provides another on-chain dollar-yield sleeve through the Sky Savings Rate. Both vaults share Shyft’s underlying vault framework, with shCORE focusing on a more balanced combination of tokenized dollar yield and market-neutral exposure and shYIELD placing greater weight on a broader set of return-generating strategies. Vault Infrastructure and Reporting Shyft Finance’s vault framework utilizes on-chain infrastructure for strategy deployment and portfolio visibility. More specifically, the ERC-4626 vault standard is used by the platform along with multi-role authorization, withdrawal controls, and other operational safeguards. Now, on-chain activity shows that the shYIELD contract and shCORE contract are already deployed on Ethereum mainnet. Both these vaults use Ember, which handles permissioning, security, and operational controls behind Shyft’s infrastructure. Notably, Ember’s underlying system has been independently audited. Once capital is deployed, it will be routed into dedicated strategy accounts as per the defined allocation. The on-chain portions of the strategies can then be tracked through their respective contracts and accounting mechanisms. Radiant Prime requires a different reporting path, as its trading takes place on CEXs. Pre-Deposits Are Next With the inaugural allocations established and the curation framework being finalized with GAP3, shCORE and shYIELD are now approaching their pre-deposit phase. Shyft will publish access information, final allocation details, and the applicable pre-deposit terms through its official channels as the vaults progress toward opening.",{"id":26,"name":27,"lang":23,"iso":28,"logo":29},{"id":200,"timestamp":201,"title":202,"content":203,"link":204,"preview":205,"tags":11,"predictedTags":11,"showTags":11,"source":14,"reactions":206,"selfReactions":207,"logo":17,"sourceId":18,"sourceUserId":19,"asset":20,"tagsCategories":21,"totalComments":22,"lang":23,"unique_views_count":22,"pure_text":208,"expLang":209},"nvda-price-prediction-bulls-ar20001a05c68-61dc-758f-90d9-3cfe6633ee5f","1788254778000","NVDA Price Prediction: Bulls Are Trapped Below $220 — Here's the Line That Decides September","\u003Cimg src=\"https://blockchain.news/images/stocks/NVDA-feature.jpg\" />NVDA tokenized stock is coiling at $217.89 with momentum dead-flat and open interest collapsing 21% in 24 hours — reclaim $220.66 and the path to $223.44 opens fast, but fail here and the $213.74 s...\u003Ca href=\"https://Blockchain.News/news/20260901-price-prediction-nvda-bulls-are-trapped-below-220-heres\"> (Read More)\u003C/a>","https://Blockchain.News/news/20260901-price-prediction-nvda-bulls-are-trapped-below-220-heres","https://blockchain.news/images/stocks/NVDA-feature.jpg",[],[],"NVDA tokenized stock is coiling at $217.89 with momentum dead-flat and open interest collapsing 21% in 24 hours — reclaim $220.66 and the path to $223.44 opens fast, but fail here and the $213.74 s...

Then it stopped.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>September opened with a shrug. Bitcoin is changing hands around $77,951 after a daily candle that opened at $78,571, tapped $79,184, and closed the session down 0.91 percent. Nothing dramatic. But after a vertical move like August, \"nothing dramatic\" is exactly what bulls did not want to see.\u003C/p>\u003Cimg src=\"https://cryptoticker-strapi-media.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/BTCUSD_2026_09_01_12_36_41_d653b20010.png\" alt=\"BTCUSD_2026-09-01_12-36-41.png\" />BTC/USD Chart\u003Cp>Underneath the surface, though, this market is anything but boring. Michael Saylor is buying again, privacy coins are printing eight-year highs, and September is stacked with catalysts that could decide whether the rally has legs or whether traders spend the autumn explaining what went wrong.\u003C/p>Why Did Bitcoin Stall Right Below $80,000?\u003Cp>The short answer is Kevin Warsh.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>The Fed Chair used his first Jackson Hole appearance in late August to make clear that inflation is not beaten, and markets promptly repriced the odds of a September rate hike rather than a cut. Bitcoin dropped roughly 3.3 percent to $77,678 on August 29 after Warsh's speech pushed rate hike expectations higher, cutting short a strong rally.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>That is the awkward part of the 2026 setup. Bitcoin spent August climbing on institutional demand and a stabilising ETF bid, and then ran straight into a central bank that is still talking about tightening. Bitcoin had gained roughly 26 percent in August before the pullback, giving traders every reason to lock in profits when yields moved higher, and the failure to hold $80,000 reflected macro conditions overriding otherwise supportive spot demand.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>The flow picture improved sharply, which is what makes the stall interesting rather than alarming. US spot Bitcoin and Ether ETFs pulled in a combined $2.6 billion in a single week, their best result since October 2025, trimming the products' 2026 deficit from $5.7 billion to $3.1 billion while BTC consolidated near $77,000. Demand is back. The macro permission slip is not.\u003C/p>What Does Strategy's $370 Million Bitcoin Purchase Actually Signal?\u003Cp>Michael Saylor went quiet for two months. On August 30 he posted two words on X, \"We're ₿ack\", and the market did the rest.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>The filing landed Monday. Strategy acquired 4,603 BTC for $369.7 million at an average price of $80,318 per coin, lifting total holdings to 845,050 BTC, more than 4 percent of Bitcoin's maximum supply. The company also added $29 million to its USD cash position and repurchased $152 million of STRC preferred stock while keeping net leverage at 0.0 percent.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>The number matters less than the context. Between June 29 and August 23, Strategy paused Bitcoin buying entirely to clean up its balance sheet, selling 6,916 BTC for around $429 million, raising $4.56 billion through MSTR share issuance, and repurchasing over $500 million of STRC preferred shares. In other words, the largest corporate holder in the market spent the summer de-risking, not accumulating.

Then it stopped. September opened with a shrug. Bitcoin is changing hands around $77,951 after a daily candle that opened at $78,571, tapped $79,184, and closed the session down 0.91 percent. Nothing dramatic. But after a vertical move like August, \"nothing dramatic\" is exactly what bulls did not want to see. BTC/USD Chart Underneath the surface, though, this market is anything but boring. Michael Saylor is buying again, privacy coins are printing eight-year highs, and September is stacked with catalysts that could decide whether the rally has legs or whether traders spend the autumn explaining what went wrong. Why Did Bitcoin Stall Right Below $80,000? The short answer is Kevin Warsh. The Fed Chair used his first Jackson Hole appearance in late August to make clear that inflation is not beaten, and markets promptly repriced the odds of a September rate hike rather than a cut. Bitcoin dropped roughly 3.3 percent to $77,678 on August 29 after Warsh's speech pushed rate hike expectations higher, cutting short a strong rally. That is the awkward part of the 2026 setup. Bitcoin spent August climbing on institutional demand and a stabilising ETF bid, and then ran straight into a central bank that is still talking about tightening. Bitcoin had gained roughly 26 percent in August before the pullback, giving traders every reason to lock in profits when yields moved higher, and the failure to hold $80,000 reflected macro conditions overriding otherwise supportive spot demand. The flow picture improved sharply, which is what makes the stall interesting rather than alarming. US spot Bitcoin and Ether ETFs pulled in a combined $2.6 billion in a single week, their best result since October 2025, trimming the products' 2026 deficit from $5.7 billion to $3.1 billion while BTC consolidated near $77,000. Demand is back. The macro permission slip is not. What Does Strategy's $370 Million Bitcoin Purchase Actually Signal? Michael Saylor went quiet for two months. On August 30 he posted two words on X, \"We're ₿ack\", and the market did the rest. The filing landed Monday. Strategy acquired 4,603 BTC for $369.7 million at an average price of $80,318 per coin, lifting total holdings to 845,050 BTC, more than 4 percent of Bitcoin's maximum supply. The company also added $29 million to its USD cash position and repurchased $152 million of STRC preferred stock while keeping net leverage at 0.0 percent. The number matters less than the context. Between June 29 and August 23, Strategy paused Bitcoin buying entirely to clean up its balance sheet, selling 6,916 BTC for around $429 million, raising $4.56 billion through MSTR share issuance, and repurchasing over $500 million of STRC preferred shares. In other words, the largest corporate holder in the market spent the summer de-risking, not accumulating. With net leverage now at zero and dollar assets fully covering outstanding debt, Monday's purchase signals that Strategy considers the balance sheet strong enough to go back on offense. For a market that spent June and July watching its loudest buyer sell, that is a meaningful psychological reset. Whether it converts into a breakout is another question. Analysts note Bitcoin could retest $80,000 if it holds above $77,000, but favourable Federal Reserve signals are still needed to confirm a breakout. Why Are Privacy Coins Like Zcash and Monero Outperforming Everything? Look at the year-to-date column in any market screener right now and one sector jumps out. Zcash is up more than 65 percent this year. Monero is up 21 percent. Almost every other large cap is deep in the red for 2026. Zcash has been the trade of the year for anyone who caught it. ZEC hit an eight-year high of $888 on August 25 and gained over 60 percent in seven days against Bitcoin's 20 percent, a \"de-Bitcoinization\" move that reflected capital rotating into privacy assets and dragged Dash, Tezos and Monero higher with it. The catalysts are real rather than purely narrative. The bullish case has been reinforced by ZEC crossing $800 in August, Grayscale's ZCSH ETF listing on NYSE Arca, and 4.81 million ZEC, roughly 28.4 percent of supply, sitting in shielded pools as of August 27. A new commercial entity, Zcash Labs, launched in August 2026 to fund and drive business and institutional adoption, and an SEC probe into Zcash was dropped in January 2026 with no enforcement action. Now the honest part. This rally has been leveraged and violent in both directions. Zcash dropped as much as 50 percent within 24 hours in June following disclosure of a severe Orchard vulnerability, and CoinDesk reported billions in futures volume against far lower spot volume as ZEC broke $800, with prices reversing quickly.

The next four largest holders, Jane Street Group, Millennium Management, Intesa Sanpaolo, and Marex UK Holdings, reported a combined $55.4 million in XRP ETF exposure, underscoring Goldman Sachs’ dominant position among institutional investors. The latest 13F disclosures also highlight growing institutional interest in spot XRP ETFs, which launched in the United States in late 2025. Since their debut, the products have attracted approximately $1.8 billion in cumulative net inflows. Assets under management across the XRP ETF market are estimated at between $1.4 billion and $1.5 billion, depending on XRP price movements. The Bitwise XRP ETF recently surpassed $500 million in assets under management, reflecting continued demand for regulated XRP investment products.

It must decide who may hold the instrument, stop prohibited transfers, pay interest to the correct owners, process redemptions and preserve records that auditors and regulators can follow. Ripple and SettleMint are now packaging those responsibilities into a joint offering for regulated institutions in Asia-Pacific. Their September 1 partnership connects Ripple Custody with SettleMint’s Digital Asset Lifecycle Platform, known as DALP. Key Takeaways Custody remains separate from platform operations. DALP manages assets beyond initial issuance. The technical connection predates today’s partnership. No participating bank has been identified. A coupon payment shows where the work begins Take a tokenized bond. The bank first establishes its terms and identifies eligible investors. A later sale may require the buyer to be checked before the transfer proceeds. Coupon dates create another obligation because payments depend on an accurate holder record. Redemption brings the final test: removing the tokens while delivering the promised principal. Those events require business rules, reliable ownership data and a controlled approval process. DALP is intended to coordinate issuance, compliance checks, settlement and servicing throughout that working life. Tokenized funds bring similar demands through subscriptions, distributions and redemptions. Even a smooth technical workflow leaves legal questions outside the software. As Coindoo’s analysis of how tokenization is changing traditional banking explains, an onchain record does not automatically determine who owns the underlying asset or how that claim will be treated in court. Inside the operational workflow, the most important boundary is simpler: one system may request a transfer, but a separate system controls whether it can be signed. Where DALP ends and custody begins A transfer between two approved accounts shows how that boundary works. DALP prepares the transaction, applies the institution’s rules and sends a signing request to Ripple Custody . The custody system checks the policies attached to the wallet, which may require specific permissions or multiple approvals, before releasing a valid signature. DALP can then track the transaction through completion. SettleMint says the private-key material remains inside the selected custody environment. DALP can construct and route an instruction, but it cannot independently produce the signature needed to move the asset. Keeping those powers apart prevents access to the lifecycle platform alone from becoming signing authority. The boundary is only as strong as the institution’s setup. A weak approval policy, a compromised authorized account or an improperly assigned role can still allow a damaging request to pass. Banks must therefore decide who may initiate, review and approve each action rather than treating the integration as a security guarantee. This signing model sits at the center of the joint offering, although SettleMint had already built support for Ripple Custody before the September announcement. What actually changed on September 1 In a July 15 explanation of DALP 3.0 , SettleMint identified Ripple Custody as one of the custody environments supported by its signing model. Its documentation also describes a Ripple-specific callback route that reports whether a custody request has been approved, rejected, allowed to expire or failed. The connection could therefore exchange the information needed to pause and resume a transaction workflow before the companies announced their partnership. What changed in September was the commercial relationship: Ripple and SettleMint began marketing the existing integration as one institutional offering, starting in Asia-Pacific. For a bank, buying a coordinated package could be easier than contracting separately for custody and lifecycle management and then connecting the systems itself. Whether that advantage survives procurement, regulatory review and production deployment remains untested publicly.

Useful evidence would include: a named bank, exchange or market-infrastructure operator; a live bond, fund, deposit or other instrument; issuance, settlement or servicing volume; the networks and settlement assets being used; and measurable reductions in integration or reconciliation work. The partnership may make the integration easier to buy but still a named production deployment will show whether it also makes tokenized assets easier to operate.

Four assumptions come up especially often, and all four have consequences for how much money you put into which product.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>The paper is titled \"Knowledge gaps among crypto investors\" and draws on a representative survey conducted in April 2026. It is no new rule and no warning about a single provider. It is a measurement, which is why you can read it as a checklist against your own assumptions. That is exactly how this article is built.\u003C/p>BaFin Survey on Crypto Knowledge: What the Regulator Measured\u003Cp>In April 2026 BaFin surveyed a thousand people and put sixteen knowledge questions on crypto-assets to them. Respondents could explicitly tick \"don't know\" on every question instead of having to guess. That matters methodologically: a survey that fails to record admitted ignorance separately confuses uncertainty with error.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>Across all respondents, 36 percent of the answers were correct and 19 percent were wrong, while in 45 percent of cases participants said they did not know. Almost half the population, then, simply does not trust itself to judge crypto-assets. In itself that is no problem, as long as no purchase decision follows from it.\u003C/p>How Large the Group Concerned Is\u003Cp>According to the survey, around 13 percent of adults in Germany own crypto-assets, which is more than nine million people. A further 34 percent held shares, bonds or funds but no crypto-assets, and 53 percent owned none of these products. Anyone holding \u003Ca href=\"https://cryptoticker.io/en/prediction/bitcoin-price-prediction/\">Bitcoin\u003C/a> therefore belongs to a minority that stopped being a fringe in numerical terms long ago.\u003C/p>57 Percent Right, 31 Percent Wrong: How Crypto Owners Scored\u003Cp>Among owners themselves the picture looks different from the population as a whole. They answered 57 percent of the questions correctly and got 31 percent wrong. The share of openly admitted ignorance shrinks sharply, while the share of wrong answers rises markedly. Someone who has invested has engaged with the subject and trusts their own judgement; they simply get that judgement wrong in almost a third of cases.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>This shift is the real finding of the survey. An investor who honestly says they do not know something seeks advice or leaves it alone. An investor who mistakes a false assumption for established knowledge does neither.\u003C/p>Inflation Protection: Why the Supply Cap Says Nothing About the Price\u003Cp>The most common false assumption in the survey: 54 percent of crypto-asset owners took Bitcoin to protect against inflation. The regulator classes that as an error.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>The reasoning behind it is understandable. The number of Bitcoin is capped in the protocol at 21 million units, while a central bank can expand the money supply in circulation. A fixed number of units, however, does not produce a fixed value. The price in euros arises on trading venues out of supply and demand and can fall by a double-digit percentage within a few weeks. An asset meant to preserve purchasing power over a given period has to remain reliable across that period. Scarcity alone does not deliver that.\u003C/p>What Follows From This in Practice\u003Cp>If you hold crypto-assets as a hedge against the loss of monetary value, the best check is over what period that hedge is supposed to work and whether you could withstand a price drop of thirty or forty percent within it. For money needed in the foreseeable future the answer is as a rule no. This says nothing about the long-term development of the price. It says something about the function you assign to your holding.\u003C/p>\u003Cimg src=\"https://cryptoticker-strapi-media.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/bafin_studie_krypto_wissensluecken_2_b63d1bc8be.png\" alt=\"Perforated paper umbrella with water drops falling through the holes onto a wet Bitcoin coin\" />The umbrella is open and the coin still gets wet: precisely this gap between claimed and actual protection is what the BaFin survey measures.Price Stability: Many Crypto Owners See Bitcoin as the Calmer Asset\u003Cp>More than a third of the crypto owners surveyed assumed the Bitcoin price to be more stable than that of newer coins. Stated in that generality, it is wrong. Bitcoin trades on a great many venues at the same time and reacts immediately to news and market sentiment.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>There is something correct in the assumption that the survey does not measure: a very small, thinly traded token can swing more sharply on a single day than Bitcoin, because there a mid-sized order already moves the price. But \"swings less than a micro-cap\" quickly turns into \"swings little\", and that leap is the mistake. Anyone who knows the difference between the two statements plans their entries differently.\u003C/p>Stablecoin as a Savings Product: Value-Stable Does Not Mean Value-Growing\u003Cp>A stablecoin is a crypto-asset whose price is tied to a reference, usually the US dollar or the euro. The peg is the entire product promise: a euro stablecoin is supposed to be worth one euro, today and in a year's time.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>Around half the owners surveyed considered stablecoins suitable for building wealth. That misreads the construction. A token that by design stays at its reference value throws off no return of its own. Anyone who wants a yield from it regardless has to lend the token out, put it into a protocol or accept an offered rate of interest, and then carries a credit or contractual risk on top. How to tell whether a stablecoin is fit to serve as a cash-like holding at all is set out in our \u003Ca href=\"https://cryptoticker.io/en/stablecoin-cash-equivalent-three-criteria/\">checklist on the criteria for cash equivalence\u003C/a>; this article deliberately does not repeat it.\u003C/p>Stablecoin as a Derivative: A Peg Is No Hedge\u003Cp>Just under half of respondents took stablecoins to be derivatives, that is, instruments with which sharp price swings in other crypto-assets can be hedged. That confuses two entirely different things.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>A derivative takes its value from an underlying and moves inversely or with leverage to it. A stablecoin refers to a currency rather than to any underlying in the portfolio. It does not fall when Bitcoin rises, and it does not rise when Bitcoin falls. Anyone swapping a position in \u003Ca href=\"https://cryptoticker.io/en/prediction/ethereum-price-prediction/\">Ether\u003C/a> into a stablecoin has sold that position and afterwards holds something dollar-like. That is a temporary exit and no hedging transaction. For tax purposes in Germany the swap counts as a disposal, which is easily lost if you picture it as mere protection.\u003C/p>Why the Classification Counts at All\u003Cp>42 percent of respondents knew that stablecoins are themselves crypto-assets, and 45 percent did not. The classification is no quibble over terms: under the European MiCA regulation, asset-referenced tokens and e-money tokens carry their own obligations for the issuer, from backing through to the right of redemption. Anyone who does not know which category their token falls into also does not know what rights they hold against whom. Which issuers are registered for this is listed by the regulator in public registers.\u003C/p>Wallet, Data Record, Price Formation: Where Respondents' Knowledge Held Up\u003Cp>The survey shows more than gaps. About half of respondents knew that the Bitcoin price arises out of supply and demand and is not set by any single body, and that crypto-assets sit in digital wallets. 35 percent were able to place Bitcoin, in simplified terms, as electronic data records.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>The wallet point is the most practically important of this group, and it is often ticked off too early. Knowing that a wallet exists is one thing; knowing who holds the private key is another. If the holding sits with a provider, the provider holds the key, and you have a claim against a company. If it sits on a device of your own, you hold the key yourself and bear sole responsibility for securing it. Anyone who knows this difference makes a deliberate choice between a trading venue and their own \u003Ca href=\"https://cryptoticker.io/en/comparison/hardware-wallets/\">hardware wallet\u003C/a> instead of an incidental one.\u003C/p>MiCAR Authorisation: What BaFin Actually Examines for a Licence\u003Cp>A day after the survey, on August 26, 2026, BaFin published an \u003Ca href=\"https://www.bafin.de/SharedDocs/Veroeffentlichungen/DE/Fachartikel/2026/fa_260826_Micar_interview.html\" target=\"_blank\">interview with its expert Ruth Burkert\u003C/a> that supplies the other half of the picture. Its key sentence: \"A BaFin licence is seen in the market as a seal of quality.\"\u003C/p>\u003Cp>The authorisation procedure examines, among other things, the IT systems of crypto-asset service providers. Added to that are requirements for the professional suitability and reliability of the managing directors, a check on the owners and a look at company processes, in particular at the precautions against money laundering. Supervision does not end with the permission, it begins there: the authority keeps watching authorised houses for breaches of the regulation. By its own account, BaFin has also authorised the first DLT trading and settlement system in the EU.\u003C/p>\u003Cimg src=\"https://cryptoticker-strapi-media.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/bafin_studie_krypto_wissensluecken_3_b105a9c0ba.png\" alt=\"Old brass optician's phoropter with many glass lenses, an upright Bitcoin coin in front of it\" />At an eye test the optician keeps handing over lenses until the image is sharp. With crypto-assets nobody does that for you.A Seal of Quality With Limits: What a Permission Does Not Vouch For\u003Cp>A permission says something about the company that holds your money and your crypto-assets in custody and executes your orders. It says nothing about the price of the product you buy there. An authorised provider may sell you a token that goes on to lose half its value; that is the market risk you have taken on, and no case for the supervisor.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>Second, there is no deposit guarantee for crypto-assets along the lines of the current account. The statutory guarantee covers bank deposits up to 100,000 euros per customer and institution. Crypto-assets fall outside it. What happens in an insolvency depends on how the holding was kept in custody and whether it is held separately from the provider's own assets.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>The two points together explain why the survey and the interview sit well side by side. The regulator can set the framework within which a provider works. Whether the product fits your plan remains your decision.

According to BaFin, many German consumers still use the companies that appear particularly high up in search engines. A position in a results list, however, is no proof of a permission. It can be bought, and it is in any case independent of whether a European authority has ever examined the house.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>For precisely this purpose BaFin keeps public registers: a company database with the supervised institutions and a continuously updated list of warnings about providers operating without permission. How fast that list grows is clear from a look at the past few weeks; on August 25 alone a warning about identity misuse in the crypto sector was added.\u003C/p>Three Checks That Take a Few Minutes\u003Cp>First: enter the full company name from the legal notice into BaFin's company database, not the brand name from the app. Second: check which authority in which member state granted the permission, because under MiCA it applies across Europe and the competent supervisor is often not based in Germany. Third: hold the name against the regulator's warning notices before any money moves. If a dispute with a supervised provider arises later, the route runs via a \u003Ca href=\"https://cryptoticker.io/en/crypto-exchange-complaint-mica-article-71-deadlines/\">complaint to BaFin\u003C/a>.\u003C/p>What Is Established and What Remains Interpretation\u003Cp>Established and backed by a date are the figures of the survey, its design with a thousand respondents and sixteen questions from April 2026, the publication date of August 25, 2026 as well as the statements from the interview of August 26, 2026. All information in this text comes from these two publications by the regulator.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>Interpretation, and expressly no measurement, is the connection this article draws between the two texts: that a market in which half the owners misjudge a basic property of their product needs the provider framework more than a market with an experienced public. BaFin does not put it that way. It describes its role more cautiously and stresses that consumers for whom a purchase may be an option should inform themselves better about opportunities and risks, and that the authority supports them in doing so through various channels. This text makes no statement about the causes of the measured gaps; the survey supplies nothing on that.\u003C/p>Checking Your Crypto Knowledge: What to Take Away\u003Col>\u003Cli>Take the four false assumptions one at a time. Inflation protection, price stability, stablecoin as savings, stablecoin as protection: ask of each whether it sits inside your own reasoning for an existing holding. If a reason falls away, the position does not yet fall with it, but you decide afresh and no longer on the old assumption.

Four assumptions come up especially often, and all four have consequences for how much money you put into which product. The paper is titled \"Knowledge gaps among crypto investors\" and draws on a representative survey conducted in April 2026. It is no new rule and no warning about a single provider. It is a measurement, which is why you can read it as a checklist against your own assumptions. That is exactly how this article is built. BaFin Survey on Crypto Knowledge: What the Regulator Measured In April 2026 BaFin surveyed a thousand people and put sixteen knowledge questions on crypto-assets to them. Respondents could explicitly tick \"don't know\" on every question instead of having to guess. That matters methodologically: a survey that fails to record admitted ignorance separately confuses uncertainty with error. Across all respondents, 36 percent of the answers were correct and 19 percent were wrong, while in 45 percent of cases participants said they did not know. Almost half the population, then, simply does not trust itself to judge crypto-assets. In itself that is no problem, as long as no purchase decision follows from it. How Large the Group Concerned Is According to the survey, around 13 percent of adults in Germany own crypto-assets, which is more than nine million people. A further 34 percent held shares, bonds or funds but no crypto-assets, and 53 percent owned none of these products. Anyone holding Bitcoin therefore belongs to a minority that stopped being a fringe in numerical terms long ago. 57 Percent Right, 31 Percent Wrong: How Crypto Owners Scored Among owners themselves the picture looks different from the population as a whole. They answered 57 percent of the questions correctly and got 31 percent wrong. The share of openly admitted ignorance shrinks sharply, while the share of wrong answers rises markedly. Someone who has invested has engaged with the subject and trusts their own judgement; they simply get that judgement wrong in almost a third of cases. This shift is the real finding of the survey. An investor who honestly says they do not know something seeks advice or leaves it alone. An investor who mistakes a false assumption for established knowledge does neither. Inflation Protection: Why the Supply Cap Says Nothing About the Price The most common false assumption in the survey: 54 percent of crypto-asset owners took Bitcoin to protect against inflation. The regulator classes that as an error. The reasoning behind it is understandable. The number of Bitcoin is capped in the protocol at 21 million units, while a central bank can expand the money supply in circulation. A fixed number of units, however, does not produce a fixed value. The price in euros arises on trading venues out of supply and demand and can fall by a double-digit percentage within a few weeks. An asset meant to preserve purchasing power over a given period has to remain reliable across that period. Scarcity alone does not deliver that. What Follows From This in Practice If you hold crypto-assets as a hedge against the loss of monetary value, the best check is over what period that hedge is supposed to work and whether you could withstand a price drop of thirty or forty percent within it. For money needed in the foreseeable future the answer is as a rule no. This says nothing about the long-term development of the price. It says something about the function you assign to your holding. The umbrella is open and the coin still gets wet: precisely this gap between claimed and actual protection is what the BaFin survey measures.Price Stability: Many Crypto Owners See Bitcoin as the Calmer Asset More than a third of the crypto owners surveyed assumed the Bitcoin price to be more stable than that of newer coins. Stated in that generality, it is wrong. Bitcoin trades on a great many venues at the same time and reacts immediately to news and market sentiment. There is something correct in the assumption that the survey does not measure: a very small, thinly traded token can swing more sharply on a single day than Bitcoin, because there a mid-sized order already moves the price. But \"swings less than a micro-cap\" quickly turns into \"swings little\", and that leap is the mistake. Anyone who knows the difference between the two statements plans their entries differently. Stablecoin as a Savings Product: Value-Stable Does Not Mean Value-Growing A stablecoin is a crypto-asset whose price is tied to a reference, usually the US dollar or the euro. The peg is the entire product promise: a euro stablecoin is supposed to be worth one euro, today and in a year's time. Around half the owners surveyed considered stablecoins suitable for building wealth. That misreads the construction. A token that by design stays at its reference value throws off no return of its own. Anyone who wants a yield from it regardless has to lend the token out, put it into a protocol or accept an offered rate of interest, and then carries a credit or contractual risk on top. How to tell whether a stablecoin is fit to serve as a cash-like holding at all is set out in our checklist on the criteria for cash equivalence ; this article deliberately does not repeat it. Stablecoin as a Derivative: A Peg Is No Hedge Just under half of respondents took stablecoins to be derivatives, that is, instruments with which sharp price swings in other crypto-assets can be hedged. That confuses two entirely different things. A derivative takes its value from an underlying and moves inversely or with leverage to it. A stablecoin refers to a currency rather than to any underlying in the portfolio. It does not fall when Bitcoin rises, and it does not rise when Bitcoin falls. Anyone swapping a position in Ether into a stablecoin has sold that position and afterwards holds something dollar-like. That is a temporary exit and no hedging transaction. For tax purposes in Germany the swap counts as a disposal, which is easily lost if you picture it as mere protection. Why the Classification Counts at All 42 percent of respondents knew that stablecoins are themselves crypto-assets, and 45 percent did not. The classification is no quibble over terms: under the European MiCA regulation, asset-referenced tokens and e-money tokens carry their own obligations for the issuer, from backing through to the right of redemption. Anyone who does not know which category their token falls into also does not know what rights they hold against whom. Which issuers are registered for this is listed by the regulator in public registers. Wallet, Data Record, Price Formation: Where Respondents' Knowledge Held Up The survey shows more than gaps. About half of respondents knew that the Bitcoin price arises out of supply and demand and is not set by any single body, and that crypto-assets sit in digital wallets. 35 percent were able to place Bitcoin, in simplified terms, as electronic data records. The wallet point is the most practically important of this group, and it is often ticked off too early. Knowing that a wallet exists is one thing; knowing who holds the private key is another. If the holding sits with a provider, the provider holds the key, and you have a claim against a company. If it sits on a device of your own, you hold the key yourself and bear sole responsibility for securing it. Anyone who knows this difference makes a deliberate choice between a trading venue and their own hardware wallet instead of an incidental one. MiCAR Authorisation: What BaFin Actually Examines for a Licence A day after the survey, on August 26, 2026, BaFin published an interview with its expert Ruth Burkert that supplies the other half of the picture. Its key sentence: \"A BaFin licence is seen in the market as a seal of quality.\" The authorisation procedure examines, among other things, the IT systems of crypto-asset service providers. Added to that are requirements for the professional suitability and reliability of the managing directors, a check on the owners and a look at company processes, in particular at the precautions against money laundering. Supervision does not end with the permission, it begins there: the authority keeps watching authorised houses for breaches of the regulation. By its own account, BaFin has also authorised the first DLT trading and settlement system in the EU. At an eye test the optician keeps handing over lenses until the image is sharp. With crypto-assets nobody does that for you.A Seal of Quality With Limits: What a Permission Does Not Vouch For A permission says something about the company that holds your money and your crypto-assets in custody and executes your orders.

Search Engine Ranking Instead of Authorisation: How Many People Pick Their Provider One observation from the interview translates directly into an action.
