Market data shows that in the past 24 hours, the total market value of cryptocurrencies increased by nearly 5%, reaching approximately $2.38 trillion. The previous weeks of volatility and decline had kept many investors on the sidelines, but this round of rebound has injected new activity into the market.

February 14 News, the Central Bank of Russia recently announced that it will conduct in-depth research on the feasibility of pegging stablecoins to the ruble and assess their risks and potential benefits. On February 12, Vladimir Chistyukhin, First Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Russia, revealed at the Alpha Dialogue Conference in Moscow that the research plan aims to explore how stablecoins can better integrate into Russia's financial system. This move comes at a critical moment when Russia, facing Western sanctions and global banking access restrictions, is seeking new payment tools. For years, the Central Bank of Russia has opposed stablecoins, especially those pegged to fiat currencies, believing they could pose financial stability and regulatory risks. However, as cryptocurrencies gradually enter the international settlement space and the digital ruble project is launched, the stance of the Central Bank of Russia has changed. Previously, Russia allowed cryptocurrencies for some international settlements, and the digital ruble has entered the pilot phase. It is expected that stablecoins will be fully launched by the end of 2026.

February 14 News, Bitcoin (BTC) has fallen from a high of approximately $126,000 to around $68,000. The short-term decline has been significant, but on-chain valuation signals indicate that this round of selling may be creating conditions for medium- to long-term recovery. CryptoQuant data shows that the Bitcoin market value to realized value ratio (MVRV) has dropped to about 1.1, approaching the "undervalued zone" in history. In the past, after reaching this area multiple times, BTC has experienced a phased rebound and started a new upward cycle. It is important to note that entering the undervalued zone does not mean an immediate bottom. Historical experience suggests that prices may oscillate within this range, forming a phase of re-distribution of holdings. When selling pressure gradually diminishes and demand recovers, the market will confirm a trend reversal. If macroeconomic conditions stabilize and risk appetite improves, Bitcoin still has the opportunity to challenge the $100,000 level again.

According to data disclosed by Coin Bureau, the ETF saw a total net inflow of approximately $15.2 million on that day, ending the previous selling cycle. However, compared to the recent sustained outflows, this figure remains limited, and market sentiment has only experienced a slight recovery. From a mid-term perspective, the capital side still remains in a weak zone. Over the past week, Bitcoin ETF net outflows totaled nearly $360 million, marking the fourth consecutive week of negative flows. Such persistent outflows are uncommon in the past year. Institutional investors clearly remain cautious, mostly observing rather than actively increasing their positions.
