The advancement of artificial intelligence could be a positive catalyst for Bitcoin's price if it disrupts the labor market and prompts central banks to ease monetary policy, according to a new analysis. In a recent report, Greg Cipolaro, Head of Research at cryptocurrency services firm NYDIG, explained that AI is likely to become a general-purpose technology similar to electricity, Cointelegraph reported. He argued that the macroeconomic effects of AI on employment, economic growth, and risk appetite will consequently influence Bitcoin. Cipolaro added that if AI's growth is coupled with expanded liquidity and stable real interest rates, it could foster a favorable market environment for the cryptocurrency.

The cryptocurrency industry suffered approximately $26.5 million in losses from 15 hacking incidents in February 2026, according to a recent report from blockchain security firm PeckShield. This figure represents a 98.2% decrease from the same month last year and a 69.2% drop from January's $86.01 million. Cointelegraph reported that the analysis highlighted last February's staggering $1.5 billion in losses, which were dominated by a $1.4 billion theft from Bybit. The report suggests that this year's significant decline in losses, even when accounting for the absence of a single massive incident like the Bybit hack, indicates that the industry's overall security systems are strengthening.

BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes argued on his blog that a prolonged U.S. military conflict with Iran would increase war-related costs, such as reconstruction, making it more likely the Federal Reserve will lower interest rates and expand the money supply to cover the expenses. He pointed to historical precedents, noting that the Fed consecutively cut rates after the Gulf War began in 1990. Similarly, after the 9/11 attacks in 2001, when the U.S. declared a "Global War on Terrorism" and entered conflicts in the Middle East, the Fed immediately resorted to rate cuts amid spreading financial market instability. Hayes asserted that President Donald Trump's political fate and the November midterm elections depend on financial market trends and oil prices. Since regime change in Iran has been a common goal for both Republicans and Democrats, he believes the Fed has the political justification to ease monetary policy. This would involve supplying liquidity to finance the process of bringing Iran into the U.S. sphere of influence. While acknowledging uncertainty about how much funding Trump will commit to an intervention, Hayes concluded that the right time to buy cryptocurrency is "immediately after the Fed cuts rates or prints money."
