Connection thesis
Bitcoin COT positioning shows speculators net short 2,871 contracts (236206) while Maryland bans AI-driven price increases (236221). The Maryland precedent signals regulatory appetite to control algorithmic pricing mechanisms. Crypto markets are heavily algorithmic/bot-driven. If AI-price-manipulation bans spread to financial markets, they directly threaten the technical infrastructure that sustains retail crypto trading leverage and front-running.
