The tally, one vote per house

The theme holds that rising institutional and retail demand, ETF inflows and clearer regulation can push bitcoin and the wider crypto market higher, with researchers pointing to debasement hedging, stablecoin growth and a bitcoin rebound above $78,000. Of 24 houses, 15 hold this view, 7 are against and 2 are mixed, and the count has fallen by 10 over 30 days. The main counterargument is that ultra-loose policy has inflated speculative rallies, and that yields normalising and weak risk sentiment leave little fundamental support.
Each house counts once: its newest view on the theme in the last 60 days. The counts are computed, not written by AI; the summary is AI-written from the houses’ views, without names.
