News Digest: Regulatory Chill vs. Long-Term Hope

Two big stories today, pulling in opposite directions. Canada is moving to ban crypto election donations, following the UK's lead. It's another regulatory headwind, and it's happening while the Fear & Greed Index is stuck at 'Extreme Fear' (12).

Meanwhile, a Kraken-backed firm is making the long-term bull case, arguing crypto's future is bright *because* of AI's rise. They see it as a hedge. But a separate report warns a Bitcoin crash below $60K could delay a real recovery until 2027. The takeaway? Short-term pain from regulation and price risk, but the institutional narrative is still building for the next cycle.
