Market Snapshot — May 21, 2026

The market is regaining momentum. Market cap returned to $2.6T (+1.8%) with volumes rising to $76.6B (+10%) — yesterday it was soft, today flows are back. BTC at $77,600 (+1.1%), ETH at $2,140 (+1.3%).
What's interesting: SOL, BNB, and XRP are slightly outperforming BTC today. Not an altseason, just a rotation to the big liquid capes. The BTC dominance is 60.2%.
The catalyst of the moment is Trump who is pushing the Fed to open up payment rails to crypto. The market is beginning to see it as structural support and no longer as political noise.

At the same time, the EU is revising MiCA — regulatory standardization is progressing on both sides of the Atlantic. Concretely: this rebound is more like short sell-offs and a return in volume than a real risk-on. Constructive, but not yet convincing. ETF feeds and the macro need to confirm for it to hold.
Fragile short term.

In the long term, the regulatory narrative is becoming entrenched — that's the real movement.
