#爱泼斯坦案烧向币圈 What impact does the cryptocurrency world have?
① Reputation and trust crisis: The cryptocurrency world originally emphasized "decentralization" and "anti-establishment," but the Epstein case revealed that early funding may have come from questionable sources, damaging the industry's image. Critics argue that cryptocurrency is an "elite tool," rather than empowering the masses. This has led some investors to turn to "cleaner" projects or simply withdraw altogether.
② Market volatility and price shocks: The release of the Epstein documents directly intensified panic in the cryptocurrency market. In November 2025, Bitcoin erased its annual gains, briefly falling below $80,000, with the entire cryptocurrency market evaporating over $1 trillion. One reason is investor concern that the "elite manipulation theory" could undermine Bitcoin's appeal, leading to leveraged liquidation and a sell-off.
③ Increased regulatory pressure: The case has prompted the U.S. Congress to investigate the Epstein documents, and the Trump administration is also facing pressure to release more documents.
