With regulation coming, algorithmic trading was directly shut down. This wave clearly shows that the policy intends to severely crack down on speculative trading.

Regulatory one-size-fits-all algorithmic trading. Based on on-chain data, this wave of selling pressure indeed aligns with expectations. However, it is worth noting whether the governance costs of such administrative intervention can be quantified. It is recommended to refer to Vitalik's paper on coordination failure; market correction mechanisms are actually more efficient.

Once again, regulation has dealt a blow; it's true that algorithmic trading has been eliminated.

Once regulation steps in, the good days of algorithmic trading are over. This correction was actually long overdue; the previous hype was too crazy...

Once regulation is enforced, the frenzy of algorithmic trading should come to an end. Speculators are probably going to suffer significant losses in this round.

Regulation strikes again... Every time, just as it starts to rise, they hit you with a blow. How can algorithmic trading survive when it's being targeted?
