What to know : Bitcoin is range-bound, ether is underperforming, and volumes are thin, leaving the digital assets market stuck in a rut.

JPMorgan analysts said a clear regulatory framework could unlock institutional participation, deepen liquidity and potentially drive a significant upside move in crypto markets.
