Why Crypto Keeps Getting Weaker - 19.02.2026 Low interest, geopolitical fears, and a strong dollar are creating a storm
from Crypto.Report - Your Daily Free Crypto News Podcast · host Crypto.Report
This episode breaks down a sleepy February 2026 market driven by a midterm-year liquidity squeeze, rising dollar strength, and geopolitical risk that has left altcoins bleeding and volume evaporating. We cover Benjamin Cowan’s cycle analysis, the rotation of risk into safer assets, and why ETH Denver’s smaller crowd signals a shift from hype to serious builders laying infrastructure. Then we dive into the existential risk from quantum computing — how Shor’s algorithm threatens ECDSA, why post-quantum fixes are bulky today, and why cryptographic agility and massive scalability are the real survival plays for the next decade.
