Given the abundance of market projections, Lozano invites them to analyze them carefully.
For Lozano, the rapid growth of the industry made it difficult to adapt the regulators.
After his trip from Spain to Brazil to be present at the Blockchain Rio event, Carlos Lozano, Business Development Manager From Blofin cryptocurrency exchange, his perspective about multiple themes of the ecosystem.
On the future of cryptocurrency prices in the remainder of 2025 and the possibility of a new crypto winter, Lozano made a warning to take into account: “The reality is that there are very few analysts who end up being right what will happen in the markets, not only in ‘crypt’ but in general.”
Even so, he explained that several hypotheses converge that The peak of the current Bitcoin Alcista cycle (BTC) could occur in the last quarter of the year. These are based on cycles analysis among halvings, the relationship with the previous historical maximums and theories such as decreasing yields.
Lozano highlighted, anyway, that the current market is different from that of previous cycles for the maturation it has had: “Before there were not so many institutions, now. Before it was not so regulated, now.”
«There have been many experiences as well as in the birth of the Internet. Before there was a lot of piracy and there is no longer so much, there is still, but at other levels, ”he deepened.
In this regard, he mentioned that The “Super Cycle” hypothesis is also around in the ecosystemwhich argues that the upward phase could last longer than usual.
With this multiplicity of predictions, what is relevant is not to get carried away by what is said, but to investigate and analyze what is for Define your own positionalthough there is something that considers clear and it is the trend that has been in the long term.
“Each one who takes the hypothesis in which he trusts or makes his own analysis, but the sector does not stop growing. If we rely on the values and fundamentals of the industry, because there is a clear trend of upward growth, beyond the volatility that the price may have at the time,” said the Spanish specialist.
Regulation in Spain, Europe and the United States
On the regulatory advance in Spain, where banks have begun to receive authorization to operate with cryptocurrencies, Lozano indicated that It is a natural step. This is precisely the growth of the sector around adoption.
He deepened that the rapid growth of the industry made it difficult to adapt the regulators, although today they are already taking letters in the matter. He pointed out that Europe has defined a high regulation frameworkin line with other financial sectors.
In turn, he acknowledged that there are regions with less regulation where entrepreneurship and innovation find more freedom, although the general trend is towards a regulatory framework greater in its opinion.
In the end, he considered that “all companies have to comply with certain regulations, certain regulations. Regulatory entities are there to protect investors from possible scams, robberies or hackeos.” Therefore, he sees that the definitions of the authorities will continue in search of it.
In relation to the legislation on Stablecoins defined in the United States, Blofin’s BD manager noted that the company does not assume political positions, but Interpret the movement as strategic in a cycle of technology understanding.
“We believe that the use of technology is impossible to avoid and that the financial system has already adapted to this use, and in the end as any innovation has stages,” he said.
For the specialist, «there is a first stage where there is a rejection because one is in comfort. There is a second stage where one no longer rejects it so much but let’s say it does not value it as it should value it. And then there is a next stage where you already accept it and you already understand the new methodology or the new infrastructure you are going to use ».
Understanding this, he pointed out that The United States is supporting the projects developed in its territory, basically for two reasons: Attract exterior liquidity of markets such as Europe or Asia and continue promoting entrepreneurship within the region so that there is no talent escape.
In his opinion, in the end the big movement that led to this is that financial institutions are integrating cryptocurrencies and their technology. Also, this is something that sees evident in events such as Blockchain Rio for the number of actors it attracts.
THE MEETING IN BRAZIL
According to Lozano, Blockchain Rio demonstrates the interest in cryptocurrencies: “It seems surprising to me the capacity it has had to attract both public from different sectors within Brazil, not only crypto or technologies but also other traditional sectors,” he said.
Regarding this, he stressed that traditional industries seek new forms of use and international trade in the limitations that impose the lack of liquidity or regulatory difficulties.
As for the objectives of Blofin’s participation, he said: “In the end it is to meet many friends of the industry, connect with new people, publicize the product or service and try to see what the local client needs in the region and how we can approach it.”
