The post Bitcoin Price News for February 2026: CFTC Fills Advisory Panel With Crypto CEOs, BTC Tests $65K Support, and DeepSnitch AI Presale Approaches Moonshot Launch appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

Two of the most consequential U.S. financial regulators just loudly indicated that crypto isn’t going anywhere.

Twenty of the 35 members come from crypto-linked firms, a composition that would have been unthinkable two years ago. Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve’s working paper proposes creating specific risk weightings for cryptocurrencies, including BTC, ETH, ADA, DOGE, and XRP, within derivatives margin frameworks.
