What are Mirrored Assets? MIR is the governance token of Mirror Protocol, a synthetic assets protocol built by Terraform Labs (TFL) on the Terra blockchain.  Mirror Protocol is decentralized from day 1, with the on-chain treasury and code changes governed by holders of the MIR token. TFL has no intention of keeping or selling MIR tokens, and there are no admin keys or special access privileges granted. The intent for this is to be a completely decentralized, community-driven project.  Mirrored assets are blockchain tokens that behave like ""mirror"" versions of real-world assets by reflecting the exchange prices on-chain. They give traders the price exposure to real assets while enabling fractional ownership, open access and censorship resistance as any other cryptocurrency. Unlike traditional tokens which serve to represent a real, underlying asset, mAssets are purely synthetic and only capture the price movement of the corresponding asset.

On the Paxos platform, customers can convert their tokens to allocated gold, unallocated gold, or fiat currency (and vice versa) quickly and efficiently, reducing their exposure to settlement risk.

After Ethereum, Bitcoin Whales Pile Back In With V-Shaped Accumulation

Analysts are taking notice of Bitcoin after Ethereum's accumulation patterns  where Tom Lee noted that Ethereum has repeatedly recovered in a V-shape after significant declines.

<ul class="summary-bullets"><li>Limiting tariff powers might make policies less uncertain, ease inflation, and give Bitcoin a chance to go up again before the end of the year, according to Tom Lee.</li><li>The ruling limits the broad tariff authority, but the White House's pushback keeps the policy risk high in the short term.</li><li>In the past, tariff increases caused big drops in crypto and stock prices, showing that trade policy is a major risk factor.</li></ul>Fundstrat co-founder Tom Lee said Supreme Court hearings on the administration’s tariff powers could be a positive catalyst for crypto, arguing that limiting tariffs could reduce uncertainty and support risk assets.In an interview with CNBC on Friday, Lee&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bh34Wnd5U8s">said</a> investors seemed relieved that the Court may place limits on broad executive tariff authority. He said once markets move past the tariff agenda, attention could return to cooling inflation, softer labor data, and the prospect of Federal Reserve rate cuts.&nbsp;“With positive Washington tailwinds, I think Bitcoin can do well to the end of the year,” Lee said, adding that Bitcoin reaching $150,000 or higher remains possible even though sentiment feels weak.Lee said recent market weakness has been largely driven by uncertainty over trade policy. He explained that tariffs can push inflation higher and make it harder for the Fed to cut rates. If the court limits tariffs, inflation pressure could ease, giving the Fed more room to lower rates and improving conditions for risk assets like Bitcoin (BTC).Lee also added that the Court’s involvement could reduce one of the biggest sources of policy uncertainty facing markets. He argued that clarity around trade policy may allow investors to focus again on inflation trends and rate expectations rather than headline risk.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Supreme Court Blocks Trump Tariffs But White House Pushes Back</h2>On Friday, the Supreme Court dealt a big blow to President Donald Trump by saying that he went too far when he used a law meant for national emergencies to impose wide-ranging tariffs.&nbsp;<figure class="image"><a class="st-link-external" href="https://x.com/WhiteHouse/status/2024921307855417373?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"><img src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2026_02_21_at_2_49_49_AM_png_3bac9b1fe5.webp" alt="Screenshot 2026-02-21 at 2.49.49 AM.png" width="966" height="1008"></a><figcaption>White House announces tariffs will stay in place as President Trump adds another 10% tarriff on countries.

'Sell Bitcoin Now' – Crypto Critic Peter Schiff Warns Of BTC's Price Falling To $20,000

In a post on X, Peter Schiff stated that if Bitcoin’s price dips below $50,000, it is “highly likely” to keep falling until it hits $20,000.

<ul class="summary-bullets"><li>Barthere stated that the most active strike over the past seven days has been $75,000, indicating that traders are positioning for Bitcoin’s price to break out above $70,000.</li><li>She added that traders are less defensive on Bitcoin than they were 10 days ago.</li><li>She noted that macro factors, including fiscal policy and political developments, remain key drivers of broader risk appetite.</li></ul>Bitcoin’s (BTC) price remained below the $70,000 resistance level on Wednesday, but derivatives data showed growing bets on a push higher, with traders targeting the $75,000 level.<a href="https://stocktwits.com/coins/bitcoin">Bitcoin’s price</a> was trading at around $67,750, down 0.1% in the last 24 hours, after paring gains from an intra-day high that crossed $68,000. On Stocktwits, retail sentiment around Bitcoin trended in ‘bearish’ territory over the past day.<figure class="image"><img src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2026_02_18_070149_png_aaae8aacfd.webp" alt="Screenshot 2026-02-18 070149.png" width="1261" height="127"><figcaption>BTC retail sentiment and message volume on February 18 as of 6:05 a.m. ET | Source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure><h2 class="st-heading-2">Institutional Bets Cluster Around $75,000</h2>While many worried that the&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/cryptocurrency/mstr-michael-saylor-says-bitcoin-is-winning-amid-crypto-winter/cZR0KFjR4Hm">‘crypto winter’</a> is here to stay, positioning by traders in the options market suggests they’re betting on Bitcoin’s price to rise. According to Aurelie Barthere, principal research analyst at Nansen, call options have outpaced put buying over the past week. The activity has been particularly notable in large “block” trades, which are typically associated with institutional or professional investors.She stated that the most active strike has been $75,000, indicating that traders are positioning for a breakout above the $70,000 resistance level rather than expecting Bitcoin to remain within its recent $60,000 to $70,000 range.Barthere also pointed to the 25-delta call-put skew’s recovery from deeply negative levels seen on February 5, noting that it still remains slightly negative. In practical terms, Barthere said this suggests traders still see downside risks, though they are less defensive than they were 10 days ago and would likely be long on Bitcoin if it broke past $70,000.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Washington Policy Boost: CLARITY Bill Seen As Potential Catalyst</h2>Barthere noted that Bitcoin has now retraced its entire post-Trump election ascent. “For those with the patience to hold long term and who believe favorable crypto regulations are likely to continue, albeit at a slower pace, this could be an acceptable level for patient, cautious DCAing (no financial advice),” she wrote in an email to Stocktwits.She added that she had expected progress on the CLARITY bill, which remains a focal point in Washington. If it passes and manages to push Bitcoin’s price above $70,000, it may still not be a sustained move, Barthere said, citing that broader sentiment would also need to improve.“Key macro events to watch include whether Warsh’s nomination is confirmed by Congress and whether the CLARITY bill is ultimately adopted by the Senate,” she said,&nbsp; pointing to other potential catalysts that could impact crypto market sentiment. “ I would also monitor Trump’s popularity trajectory and mid-term polls, as well as whether Q2 fiscal spending is sufficient to sustain U.S. economic momentum.”&nbsp;For now, derivatives markets suggest cautious optimism, with traders watching closely for a decisive move above resistance.Read also:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/cryptocurrency/mstr-michael-saylor-says-bitcoin-is-winning-amid-crypto-winter/cZR0KFjR4Hm">MSTR's Michael Saylor Says ‘Bitcoin Is Winning’ Amid Crypto Winter, Sees ‘Glorious Summer’ Ahead</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.
