You should not be quick to let over-regulation limit your options. Look into De-Fi exchanges and also some traditional ones with no KYC. Also, remain aware of Bitcoin's established history of brutal bear markets. Accurate market timing is not needed to successfully sell part of your holdings when prices surge higher and buy back more when the crashes come.
Crypto investors are always looking for ways to maximize their holdings. Traditionally, one of the most effective strategies has been timing market cycles—exiting at the peak and re-entering at the bottom.
Many traders have relied on stablecoins for this, using them as a safe haven during downturns.
However, the landscape is shifting. New regulations in the EU are tightening control over digital assets, leaving only a few approved options for stable storage.
One dominant player is emerging, but concerns about centralization and potential asset freezes are growing.
This raises an important question: What if the safest move isn’t to trade in and out but to rethink the entire approach?
With uncertainty surrounding off-ramps and increasing scrutiny on transactions, long-term holding may become the best option by default.
Perhaps the era of cycling between bull and bear markets is coming to an end, and the real power play is to stay in the game permanently.
