Yoshimi Abe, the director and the chief operational officer (COO) at major Bitcoin treasury company Metaplanet, has taken to her account on the X social network to make an important BTC statement.
Abe shared with the community several factors that she believes might be crucial in impacting Bitcoin’s price movement this year. Almost all of these events are related to the USA.
Four key events with potential to impact Bitcoin’s price in 2026
Abe named four “main noteworthy events” which, according to her, can “potentially influence future Bitcoin price trends.”
The first one on her list is the U.S. Clarity Act. By this, the Metaplanet director meant a bill dealing with the institutional framework for the crypto market in the U.S., to be voted for on Jan. 15.
The second event she named was the currently ongoing “hearings and regulatory discussions surrounding the crypto asset market structure” in the U.S. Next comes the tax reporting system for crypto transfers that has been implemented in the European Union and which started working on Jan. 1.
The fourth event is the state bill proposed in Florida, aiming to proclaim Bitcoin as a reserve asset managed at the state level. If this bill is passed, it will be effective from July 1.
