The FTX collapse in November 2022 ($8 billion of customer funds wiped out) traumatized the market. Two years later, Bitcoin ETFs are approved by the SEC (January 2024) and institutional adoption resumes — but with unprecedented transparency requirements.

Claims to be « decentralized » but 3 exchanges (Binance, Coinbase, Kraken) control 70% of volume. The decentralization promise is partly a marketing myth.
Post-FTX: regulation moves forward (MiCA in Europe) but many grey areas remain, especially in the US. The market matures but slowly.
Institutional adoption (Bitcoin ETFs approved by the SEC in 2024). Massive and engaged community. Crypto resonance is real and global.
Retail investors often lose (80% per UK FCA). Scams remain frequent. Crypto financial literacy is insufficient.
Trust rebuilds post-FTX but trauma remains. Regulation is perceived as a stabilizer by institutionals.
Blockchain is intrinsically transparent (public ledger). But project marketing often remains misleading (unrealistic promised returns).
MiCA regulatory framework clear in Europe. But the US remains unclear (SEC vs CFTC). Legal uncertainty slows institutional adoption.
Bitcoin volatility still ±30% per month. It is not a stable asset. Correlations with traditional markets are rising.
Massive innovation: DeFi, Layer 2, real-world-asset tokenization (RWA). Sector energy is real and creative.

Assess your crypto exposure (direct and indirect). Do your clients, suppliers or partners depend on crypto? Measure the impact of a 50% BTC crash on your ecosystem. Impact: clarity from 0.380 → 0.50.
Require Proof of Reserves. Post-FTX, it's the minimum. Every exchange or custodian must publish audited reserves. Refusal → risk signal. Impact: integrity from 0.350 → 0.50.
Measure real volatility vs your risk tolerance. If your treasury cannot absorb a 30% drawdown, crypto is not for you. Compute the crypto VaR with the Codex. Impact: stability from 0.300 → 0.45.
Wait for US regulatory clarification before major investment. The SEC/CFTC conflict is unresolved. A reclassification can impact value by 20-40%. Impact: clarity from 0.50 → 0.55.
