The winds of volatility have swept through the markets this month, and Ethereum, poor soul, has been tossed about like a leaf in a tempest. Yet, Culper Research, with the audacity of a man who shouts at the rain, declares it all a farce.
Poor Mayor Ken Sim, who was ready to ride into the sunset with $10,000 worth of Bitcoin in his holster, has been handed a “Cease and Desist” faster than you can say “Blazing Saddles.” His dream of a Bitcoin-friendly city is now about as likely as a sequel to History of the World, Part II-wait, scratch that, the sequel’s actually happening. But you get the point.
Anton and James Peraire-Bueno, brothers of polished conviction, have asked a federal judge to veto the U.S. prosecutors’ request to hound Justin Drake overseas. In a dramatic March 5, 2026 filing, the defense declared that the government’s timing is as clumsy as a poorly choreographed dance.
Vitalik Buterin, one of the creators of Ethereum, believes future digital wallets will increasingly use artificial intelligence and prioritize user security. He predicts AI will be a major component of the next generation of wallet design.
The catalyst for this sudden ascent? None other than the venerable Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), the august parent of the New York Stock Exchange, has deigned to cast its gaze upon the crypto realm. With a $25 billion valuation and a coveted board seat, ICE has wedded itself to OKX, a union as improbable as it is intriguing. The nuptials promise to bring tokenized NYSE stocks and futures trading to the unwashed masses of OKX users by the distant year of 2026-a timeline so ambitious, one wonders if the parties involved have consulted the stars.
BeInCrypto’s on-chain sleuths and Glassnode’s latest tea-spilling report are both whispering the same thing: this isn’t a rally, it’s a relief rally. Like when you finally unbutton your jeans after Thanksgiving dinner. Not exactly a new fashion trend.
The SEC’s long-running odyssey against TRON’s illustrious founder has ended with a flourish: charges dismissed, reputations mostly intact, and Sun presumably polishing his spaceship for the next ride.
XRP couldn’t keep its head above $1.450, and now it’s correcting faster than a schoolboy caught passing notes in class. It dipped below $1.4450 and $1.4320, entering what some folks might call a ‘negative zone’-sounds ominous, doesn’t it?
I’ve been seeing a lot of talk about how current market conditions are mirroring 2022, and analyst Krüger pointed out the similarities in a recent post. He agrees the charts look eerily similar and the energy price spike is definitely happening again. However, he thinks comparing it directly to 2022 doesn’t quite hold up. He argues that monetary policy is different now, and this time, the oil issues seem temporary, not a long-term problem. Basically, while things *look* similar on the surface, the underlying economic factors are different, and that could mean a different outcome for Bitcoin.
On March 4th, the White House sent nominations to the Senate for key positions at the Federal Reserve. They nominated Kevin Warsh from Florida to be the new Chairman of the Board of Governors and also to serve on the board itself. If the Senate confirms him, Warsh would replace the current Chairman, Jerome Powell.
