The warning came after Indonesia's Communications and Digital Affairs ​Minister Meutya Hafid on Wednesday made an ​unscheduled visit to Meta's operational office in ⁠Jakarta.

Meta was warned over its low level ​of compliance with Indonesia's regulation regarding the ​spread of content that involved disinformation, online gambling, defamation and hate speech across its platforms, such as Facebook, ​Instagram, and WhatsApp, the ministry said.

Meta did ​not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Meta had ‌taken ⁠action over only 28.47% of flagged content related to online gambling and disinformation, the ministry said.

"Disinformation, defamation, and hate content threaten lives ​in Indonesia, ​yet Meta ⁠has allowed them to persist," Meutya said.

The ministry urged Meta to ​strengthen its content moderation systems and ​accelerate ⁠the removal of illegal and harmful material.

The ministry had summoned representatives of Meta and other social media ⁠platforms ​last year and ordered ​them to boost content moderation due to the spread of ​disinformation.

Ethereum is back above $2,000 for the third time in March 2026, powered by a wave of institutional buying. 

BlackRock’s sustained backing, along with other institutional moves, has solidified Ethereum’s position despite ongoing market volatility. Ethereum now faces a major wall – Will it break through or falter once again?

BlackRock buys $41.9M in Ethereum, fueling momentum On 03 March 2026, BlackRock bought $41.9 million worth of Ethereum, giving the market a solid boost.

Despite $10.8 million in short-term ETF outflows, led by Fidelity with $66.7 million in outflows, Grayscale’s ETHE saw $4.7 million in outflows while its Ethereum fund brought in $18.7 million.

BlackRock’s bold move made one thing clear – It isn’t about quick profits. It is about long-term belief in Ethereum’s future.

This is no small move. Institutions have been driving Ethereum’s price, and BlackRock’s actions have made it clear the big players may be in it for the long haul. Their decision to keep buying through market turbulence speaks volumes about their confidence. 

Network activity hits historic highs with 82% growth in active addresses By 04 March, Ethereum’s network activity had surged, with daily active addresses reaching 837.2k – Up 82%. According to Santiment analysts, 284.8k new Ethereum addresses were created daily too – A 64% uptick.

These figures are illustrative of Ethereum’s organic growth and adoption. The network is thriving, supported by real user growth, ensuring a strong future.

Can Ethereum break $2,150 and reach $2,400? At the time of writing, Ethereum was trading at $2,075, pushing against its local resistance on the price charts.

The 4-hour timeframe chart revealed strong momentum, with an ascending triangle signaling that a breakout may be near. Clear this resistance, and $2,400 would be possible, setting ETH up for a major rally.

The MACD and RSI flashed signs of strong bullish momentum too. The MACD crossover was solid, and the RSI was gaining strength.

Put simply, Ethereum’s price seemed poised to break through resistance and move towards $2,400. However, if it loses the ascending support, there could be downside risk. However, with aggressive institutional buying continuing, that outcome might be unlikely.

With strong institutional support and record network activity, Ethereum is ready for its next big move. The coming headlines will show if it can break free.

Final Summary Ethereum’s price surge has been driven by institutional buying and impressive network activity.  If Ethereum clears the $2,150 resistance, $2,400 will be the next target.

Solana started a fresh increase above the $88 zone. SOL price is now consolidating above $90 and might aim for more gains above the $95 zone.

SOL price started a fresh upward move above the $85 and $88 levels against the US Dollar. The price is now trading above $90 and the 100-hourly simple moving average. There is a bullish trend line forming with support at $89 on the hourly chart of the SOL/USD pair (data source from Kraken). The pair could extend gains if it clears the $95 resistance zone. Solana Price Regains Traction Solana price started a decent increase after it settled above the $85 zone, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. SOL climbed above the $88 level to enter a short-term positive zone.

The price even smashed the $90 resistance. The bulls were able to push the price above $92. A high was formed at $94.10, and the price is now consolidating gains. There was a minor decline below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent upward move from the $82.50 swing low to the $94.10 high.

Solana is now trading above $90 and the 100-hourly simple moving average. There is also a bullish trend line forming with support at $89 on the hourly chart of the SOL/USD pair.

Source: SOLUSD on TradingView.com On the upside, the price is facing resistance near $92. The next major resistance is near the $95 level. The main resistance could be $100. A successful close above the $100 resistance zone could set the pace for another steady increase. The next key resistance is $108. Any more gains might send the price toward the $112 level.

Downside Correction In SOL? If SOL fails to rise above the $92 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $90 zone. The first major support is near the $88.50 level and the trend line or the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent upward move from the $82.50 swing low to the $94.10 high.

A break below the $88.50 level might send the price toward the $84 support zone. If there is a close below the $84 support, the price could decline toward the $78 support in the near term.

Technical Indicators

Hourly MACD – The MACD for SOL/USD is losing pace in the bullish zone.

Hourly Hours RSI (Relative Strength Index) – The RSI for SOL/USD is above the 50 level.

Major Support Levels – $90 and $88.50

Selling pressure across the crypto market is easing as Bitcoin has surged past the $73,000 mark for the first time in several weeks. The move has improved overall market sentiment, with Ethereum and other major altcoins like XRP also showing renewed strength. As Bitcoin regains momentum, capital is gradually flowing back into the broader crypto market, lifting several digital assets.

However, the key question remains: what is driving this sudden crypto market recovery?  

The crypto market is up 6.89%, with market capitalisation reaching $2.46 trillion, breaking the 7-day moving average of $2.33 trillion. The rise is primarily driven by BTC price breaking out of the consolidated zone. The markets also experienced a significant liquidation of over $500 million, with the shorts recording nearly $408 million. 

This is the second-largest short liquidation in the past 10 days, which has offered a strong bullish push to the BTC price and the other altcoins. With Bitcoin holding nearly half of the total short liquidations, the price is one of the best performers among the top 10 cryptos. On the other hand, BTC ETFs also experienced a $225 million inflow, compared to the ETH ETF outflows, substantiating the claims. 

Top Factors Impacting the Crypto Market TodayApart from the short liquidations and the ETF inflows, the macro uncertainty across the nations has played a major role in amplifying the BTC price. Due to the war in the Middle East, investors have shifted their focus to crypto, as they see Bitcoin as a hedge. The BTC price surged extensively to $74,000 while Ethereum made it close to $2,200. Interestingly, the derivatives’ positioning also changed significantly. 

Over the past 24 hours, global crypto futures Open Interest (OI) increased by 8% to reach $103 billion. DOGE led with a rise of over 10% among the top 10 cryptos. The funding rates and the CVD for the major cryptos, including BTC & ETH, are positive, which indicates a rise in the buying interest The 30-day implied volatility indexes for Bitcoin and Ethereum remain stable during the conflict, indicating that there is no panic in the market.The BTC & ETH puts on the Deribit exchange are trading higher than the call, signaling a major drop in the bearish fears among the tradersCan the Crypto Market Sustain This Recovery?The crypto market recovery now depends on whether Bitcoin can hold above $73,000–$72,000, which has turned into the immediate support zone after the breakout. If BTC sustains above this level, the price could extend toward $75,000–$76,500 in the short term.

Meanwhile, Ethereum is attempting to reclaim $3,900, and a confirmed close above this level could push the price toward $4,050–$4,100. XRP is trading near $0.64, with the next resistance placed around $0.68.

However, if Bitcoin slips back below $72,000, the rally may weaken, opening the door for a pullback toward $70,000. For now, the broader market remains bullish, but Bitcoin holding above $72K will be the key trigger for continuation.

Bitcoin bulls are celebrating the asset's recent surge, but BitMEX co-founder and prominent crypto essayist Arthur Hayes is urging the market not to get overly excited. 

Hayes has warned investors that the digital asset is still moving in lockstep with traditional tech equities. 

"BTC (white) hasn't decoupled yet from US SaaS tech companies (green). It could be a dead cat bounce. We aren't in the clear yet. Be patient," Hayes cautioned his followers on X .

HOT Stories

The SaaS tech correlationHistorically, Bitcoin enthusiasts have championed the cryptocurrency as "digital gold". 

However, when you overlay Bitcoin's trajectory with a major SaaS index or ETF, the charts often move in tandem. 

If tech stocks decline due to macroeconomic factors, Bitcoin routinely follows them down.

card

Hence, until Bitcoin proves it can rally independently of a broader tech stock pump, the market is not truly out of the woods. 

If the current tech rally stalls or reverses, a highly correlated Bitcoin will likely get dragged down with it. 

On March 4, Bitcoin experienced  an impressive relief rally. The asset surged throughout the trading session, eventually tapping an impressive intraday high of $73,952.99.  

However, the cryptocurrency rallied in tandem with software stocks. Until Bitcoin breaks its tether to the traditional tech sector, Hayes advises keeping celebrations to a minimum.

A significant moveIn the meantime, Brandt believes that the recent bounce represents a potentially significant change of price behavior for Bitcoin. 

Bitcoin was consolidating inside a clearly defined symmetrical triangle or pennant pattern.

The final, massive daily candle completely shatters the upper descending trendline of that triangle, with the price reaching the $73,000 level.

Bitcoin [BTC] has navigated weeks of turbulence. Amid renewed geopolitical tensions, capital has gradually rotated back into the asset, helping price reclaim lost ground.

At press time, Bitcoin was holding above the $71,000 threshold after spending several weeks below it. The recovery is notable.

However, the broader question remains whether this marks the beginning of sustained upside expansion or simply a temporary stabilization before another wave of volatility.

Deleveraging reshapes market risk Bitcoin has entered a pronounced deleveraging cycle, significantly altering the risk profile of the derivatives market.

Since the 6th of October, Open Interest has contracted from $47.5 billion to $23.2 billion—a $24.3 billion reduction. More than half of the leveraged capital previously deployed has now exited the market.

This scale of capital withdrawal matters. When leverage compresses during a period of price struggle, it often signals that speculative excess has been flushed out.

With fewer overextended positions in play, the probability of a cascading liquidation event declines materially.

Source: CryptoQuant

Earlier this year, the largest daily liquidation event reached $1.14 billion on the 5th of February. Several sessions in January also recorded combined long and short liquidations exceeding $500 million.

In contrast, recent liquidation totals have struggled to breach $150 million. The sharp decline in forced position unwinds suggests that systemic fragility has eased.

Without heavy leverage stacked in one direction, the market becomes less prone to violent swings triggered by liquidations.

This does not eliminate volatility. However, it meaningfully lowers the risk of a disorderly breakdown from current levels.

Derivatives positioning reflects lingering skepticism Despite the recent price rebound, derivatives data reveals persistent caution among traders.

The Funding Rate remains negative, indicating that short traders continue to pay to maintain their positions. Since the 6th of January, bulls have controlled funding on only four occasions.

That imbalance highlights a sustained bearish lean within perpetual markets.

Source: CryptoQuant

Price often reacts to funding dynamics. A negative Funding Rate during upward price movement can imply that traders expect the rally to fade. In some cases, such divergence signals underlying weakness.

Yet the picture is not one-sided. The Taker Buy/Sell Ratio has climbed to 1.16, indicating that aggressive market buyers have recently outpaced sellers.

A reading above 1 reflects stronger demand in the perpetual market. Notably, the last time this ratio reached similar levels was in June—a period that preceded a broader upward trend.

If buying pressure continues to absorb supply, short positions could face pressure. A sustained imbalance between aggressive buyers and short-heavy positioning may create conditions for incremental upside.

Exchange reserves strengthen the structural case Beyond derivatives, on-chain positioning offers additional insight.

Bitcoin’s exchange reserves have fallen to approximately 2.73 million BTC. A declining reserve balance typically signals that investors are withdrawing assets from exchanges into private wallets.

Source: CryptoQuant

This behavior historically aligns with reduced immediate selling pressure. Coins held off exchanges are less accessible for quick liquidation, tightening available supply in the spot market.

The steady drawdown in reserves provides mechanical support for price stability. While it does not guarantee appreciation, it reduces the probability of heavy spot-driven sell pressure emerging unexpectedly.

Overall, the market has not fully transitioned into a bullish phase. Still, with leverage flushed out and structural selling pressure easing, the downside risk appears increasingly constrained—at least in the near term.

Final Summary Ongoing deleveraging reduces the probability of a volatility shock. Shorts still dominate funding rates, yet volume strength and falling exchange reserves offer support.

Analyst EGRAG says only a weekly close above a certain level would flip XRP’s long-running descending channel bullish.

XRP is attempting to push above the 200 EMA and the $1.55 level, a move that market analyst EGRAG CRYPTO says would signal short-term strength if confirmed with a weekly close.

Despite the attempted rally, the token remains trapped inside a descending channel that has defined its price action for months, leaving the broader trend corrective until a breakout above $2.20 flips the structure bullish.

XRP Tests 200 EMA In a post published on X on March 4, EGRAG CRYPTO said XRP is “pushing above 200 EMA” but warned that the price is still trading inside a descending channel on the weekly timeframe.

According to their breakdown, a weekly close above $1.55 would weaken the current downward trajectory, while a close above $2.20 would invalidate the bearish structure and open the path toward $2.70 to $3.60.

If XRP fails to reclaim $1.55, the analyst outlined a move toward $1.26, with a possible sweep of macro support between $0.95 and $0.85. In a separate post, they assigned a 55% to 65% probability to a deeper sweep and a 35% to 45% chance of an early breakout reclaim.

“Structure > Emotion,” they wrote, arguing that the descending channel still defines the trend. The technical standoff comes at a time when derivatives and spot activity are contracting. Analyst Amr Taha previously noted that XRP futures open interest had dropped 70% since October 2025, falling to $203 million.

Binance open interest slipped below $270 million, levels last seen in April 2025 before a major rally. Historically, such resets have coincided with local bottoms as leverage is cleared out, though they do not guarantee a rebound.

Is the Ripple ETF Hype Over? Inflows Disappoint as XRP Fights for $1.40 Price Action Reflects Fragile Recovery At the time of writing, data from CoinGecko showed that XRP had gained about 4% in the last 24 hours and roughly 3% over the past week, bouncing from a recent low near $1.27.

Even so, the token remains down more than 12% over 30 days and about 40% across the past year. Furthermore, it is still more than 61% below its July 2025 all-time high of $3.65.

The recent rebound has occurred within a 24-hour range between $1.34 and $1.42, with market capitalization holding near $86 billion.

For now, the weekly close relative to $1.55 is the immediate focus. A decisive break above $2.20 would alter the chart structure described by EGRAG, while rejection below the 200 EMA will keep the descending channel intact and leave lower supports in play.

Stablecoin firm Tether has led a $50 million strategic investment round in sleep technology startup Eight Sleep, to help the company integrate artificial intelligence agents into its sleep tech products.    

The latest funding round was announced on Tuesday, with Eight Sleep raising $50 million at a $1.5 billion valuation. It follows a $100 million raise last August. The firm specializes in sleep health products, primarily across bedding and supplements.

In an announcement on Tuesday, Tether expressed its strong conviction in health technology for supporting “longevity, performance, and disease prevention,” and will collaborate with Eight Sleep to bring artificial intelligence-based health technology products to the market.

​Tether has been using its stockpile of capital to invest in a wide range of areas outside of crypto. Its investments span the gold sector, media, biotechnology and AI. The firm also made multiple attempts to buy professional football clubs.

Source: Matteo Franceschetti“Technologies that can turn continuous health data into clear, practical insights will shape the future of consumer health and wellness,” Tether said.

“The investment is designed to empower Eight Sleep and establish a long-term collaboration to build advanced AI-driven health technology using, among others, Tether’s QVAC architecture and leveraging QVAC’s edge intelligence to enhance Eight Sleep products,” it added.

Tether’s QVAC is a privacy-focused health tech service launched in December that enables users to integrate their bio-health data from multiple services or products like smart rings, into a singular platform, which is supported by a local on-device AI to help users with data management and health insights.  

Eight Sleep has stated that it plans to build a sleep-focused AI agent, which will be used to support its Pod, a sleep tech product that automatically adjusts bed temperature, elevation, and sound based on factors like heart rate, breathing, snoring, time asleep, and sleep stages.

​The Pod already has AI integrations to track sleep health data; however, Eight Sleep has said the funding will help evolve the company’s current AI tools and capabilities.

“We’ve built the most seamless AI-powered health sensing system in the world, and this partnership with Tether gives us the infrastructure to take that intelligence beyond the Pod, into every aspect of personal health,” noted Franceschetti as part of Tether’s announcement.  

On X, Franceschetti gave more detail and said Eight Sleep is now building a predictive agent trained on over 1 billion hours of sleep data; meanwhile, it is also “advancing FDA filings for sleep apnea detection.”

“Passive. Every night. No wires, no clinic visits,” he said.

Solana-focused treasury and infrastructure firm SOL Strategies Inc. saw its shares jump over 20%, as it released its February update outlining continued growth across its Solana validator and staking operations.

The company said in its monthly update released Wednesday that its validator network grew to 33,568 unique wallets in February, up from the 31,000 announced on Feb. 2.

A major driver of the growth was the company's STKESOL liquid staking platform, which crossed 691,039 SOL staked and more than 1,000 holders after launching in January. Liquid staking allows users to earn staking rewards while maintaining liquidity through tokenized staking positions, offering a new revenue stream alongside the company's validator operations and institutional staking services.

SOL Strategies also reported 3.87 million SOL in total assets under delegation, including both the company's treasury stake and third-party delegations. During February, proprietary validators generated roughly 1,276 SOL in rewards while maintaining 99.99% uptime across its infrastructure.

Interim CEO Michael Hubbard said the company's staking infrastructure continues to scale even during periods of market volatility. 

"What matters now is execution," Hubbard said in the statement. "We have four revenue streams operating simultaneously: treasury stake, third party delegated stake, liquid staking, and institutional staking services, such as VanEck."

Hubbard noted that the company's latest quarterly results further validated its upward trajectory over the past year. 

In the fourth quarter of 2025, the company posted CAD$2.1 million ($1.5 million) in total staking and validation revenue, up 69% year-on-year, according to its quarterly report released last month. Its staking and validator rewards reached 9,787 SOL in the quarter, up 120% year-on-year.

SOL Strategies' shares closed up 20.97% at $1.5 on Wednesday on the Nasdaq, though the stock has fallen 75.81% over the past six months.

The February update also included governance changes ahead of the company's annual shareholder meeting scheduled for March 31. SOL Strategies confirmed that interim chief executive Michael Hubbard will assume the role permanently.

The Canadian firm, formerly known as Cypherpunk Holdings, began accumulating SOL in the second quarter of 2024 and rebranded in September of that year to reflect its pivot toward a Solana-focused strategy.

TL;DR:

XRP must reach a high price to provide the necessary liquidity for large-scale tokenized asset settlements. A “supply shock” driven by institutional adoption could skyrocket the asset’s value into the three and four-digit range. Compliance with the U.S. Digital Asset Market Clarity Act would act as the ultimate catalyst for banking integration. Recent statements from Jake Claver, CEO of Digital Ascension Group, have ignited the debate over the potential of Ripple’s native asset. The executive argues that a four-digit future for XRP is a technically necessary scenario, claiming the asset must first reach a critical mass of value to process massive transaction volumes in foreign exchange and commodity markets.

This thesis inverts conventional logic. His argument is based on the idea that the price won’t rise solely due to usage; rather, institutional usage requires the token to be expensive beforehand. Therefore, to handle the bandwidth of global settlements, XRP would need to trade at least in the three-digit range to be functional.

Key Factors: Supply Shock and Regulatory Frameworks In this context, Claver points out that a moment of global financial crisis could trigger the supply shock necessary to drive the price exponentially higher. Being positioned as a “commodity” in markets like Bitnomial, the token holds a significant advantage over other assets still struggling for legal clarity.

Furthermore, it is projected that by the end of 2030, 80% of global value will be tokenized, positioning this protocol as the core infrastructure for capital movement. However, the analyst clarifies that this growth must be dynamic and fluid, rejecting any notion of a fixed or statically pegged price.

In summary, the path toward $1,000 depends on the market recognizing the need for a high-liquidity bridge currency. While the approval of specific laws in the United States would accelerate the process, the institutional demand shock could occur even before the regulatory framework is fully defined.

Dogecoin price recorded a sharp rally on Thursday as the broader cryptocurrency market rebounded following Bitcoin’s climb above the $73,000 level. The recovery across major digital assets reignited investor interest in meme coins, pushing Dogecoin to the top of the gainers list. Over the past 24 hours, DOGE surged nearly 15%, supported by strong buying pressure and renewed optimism in the crypto market.

Ethereum also followed the upward trend, gaining around 8% during the same period as the wider digital asset market recovered from several days of uncertainty. The overall cryptocurrency market capitalization rose by approximately 6% in the last 24 hours, reaching about $2.49 trillion, signaling improved sentiment among investors.

Dogecoin outperformed many of the largest cryptocurrencies during the latest rally, including Bitcoin and Ethereum. Market data shows that Dogecoin’s 24-hour trading volume surged to about $2.39 billion, representing a 78% increase in trading activity. This spike highlights strong investor demand as traders reposition amid improving market conditions.

The rebound also extended across the meme coin sector. Popular tokens such as Shiba Inu (SHIB), PEPE, BONK, and PUMP posted gains alongside Dogecoin. As a result, the total meme coin market capitalization climbed to approximately $35.2 billion, reflecting a renewed appetite for high-risk crypto assets.

Macroeconomic developments and easing geopolitical concerns also contributed to the improving market outlook. Reports suggesting potential diplomatic discussions involving Iran helped ease tensions in global markets, boosting risk sentiment across financial assets including cryptocurrencies.

Institutional activity continues to play a significant role in shaping crypto market sentiment. Interest in exchange-traded funds remains strong, particularly for Bitcoin products. Data shows that spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded net inflows of around $225 million on March 3, with BlackRock’s IBIT ETF leading the inflows with roughly $322 million.

At the time of writing, DOGE price traded around $0.102 after breaking above the key $0.10 support level on the four-hour chart. Technical indicators suggest strengthening bullish momentum. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) climbed near 70, indicating strong demand but approaching overbought territory, while the Chaikin Money Flow remains positive, signaling steady capital inflows.

Analysts now identify the next resistance level around $0.12. A sustained breakout above this level could push Dogecoin toward the $0.13 target in the near term. If bullish momentum continues and Bitcoin maintains its strength above $73,000, DOGE could potentially move toward the $0.15 level. However, failure to hold above $0.10 may trigger a short-term pullback toward the $0.095 support zone.

Bitcoin could be headed for a blast off as safe-haven demand surges across markets, according to Rich Dad Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki, who pointed to gold's huge spike as a signal for bitcoin and silver.

After taking a quick look at the Polymarket odds for Bitcoin (BTC +7.27%), you'll probably be tempted to look elsewhere for upside in 2026. A clear majority of Polymarket traders think that Bitcoin will be rangebound between $55,000 and $75,000 for the rest of the year.

But that doesn't mean you can't still make money on Bitcoin this year. Here are a few ideas for turning a profit in a down year for Bitcoin.

Bet against Bitcoin What's the old saying? "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em." The same goes for Bitcoin. If you absolutely think Bitcoin is done for the year, then why not start predicting that Bitcoin will decline in price over the course of 2026?

Image source: Getty Images.

On Polymarket, traders are giving Bitcoin a 78% chance of hitting $55,000 this year, a 63% chance of hitting $50,000 this year, and a 51% chance of hitting $45,000 this year. You could easily buy event contracts at any one of those price points, and then cash in as soon as Bitcoin falls in price from its current level of $68,000.

You can also predict that Bitcoin will go (almost) all the way to zero. Polymarket traders are giving Bitcoin a 4% chance of hitting rock bottom at a price of just $5,000. Just be forewarned: Those are roughly the same odds (5%) that Polymarket traders give Bitcoin to hit a price of $250,000 this year. Which one do you really think is more likely?

Bitcoin-related stocks Another strategy for making money in a down crypto market is looking for different plays within the Bitcoin blockchain ecosystem. You can still get exposure to Bitcoin, but in a more indirect manner, by investing in Bitcoin-related stocks.

For example, you could invest in Bitcoin mining stocks. The hottest players right now are Bitcoin miners that are transitioning some of their compute power to AI. These stocks give investors exposure to both Bitcoin and artificial intelligence.

Or, you could invest in Bitcoin treasury companies. For a long stretch of time, Strategy (MSTR +10.27%) was able to outperform Bitcoin. However, starting in mid-2025, that trade started to fizzle. Strategy is down 10% for the year and 45% over the past 12 months.

Bitcoin derivatives Finally, there's one super-risky strategy that could pay off big: Trading Bitcoin financial derivatives. For example, hedge fund managers are buying and selling options on the iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT +7.08%), which now ranks as the top Bitcoin ETF in the world, in terms of assets under management (AUM).

If you think about it, prediction market event contracts are similar to deep out-of-the-money call options. For example, if you predict that Bitcoin will climb back to the $100,000 price level this year, then you are really buying a long-dated call option with a $100,000 strike price and a December 2026 expiration.

From my perspective, it's a lot easier to figure out the correct pricing for a Bitcoin event contract than a Bitcoin call option. You don't need a sophisticated options-pricing model or any knowledge of "the Greeks." I'm personally in the camp that ultra-cheap Bitcoin prediction market contracts are the way to go if you're determined to speculate on the future price of Bitcoin.

What about a long-term buy and hold strategy? Long-time crypto investors recognize what's happening with Bitcoin right now. It's going through one of its famous four-year cycles of boom and bust.

So just wait around a little bit longer, and the price of Bitcoin should eventually recover. If that's the case, then the ultimate strategy for Bitcoin remains unchanged: Buy Bitcoin at super-cheap prices, and hold on for dear life (HODL).

TL;DR:

U.S. government support for digital assets has driven institutional interest in Layer-1 networks. Solana recorded a 290% increase in tokenized gold volume, reaching 25.5 million tokens. The network’s speed and scalability are decisive factors for the mass adoption of Real-World Assets (RWA). The recent shift in crypto market sentiment, fueled by a pro-blockchain stance from the U.S. executive, has put the spotlight on major network infrastructure. In this scenario, analysts identify Solana as a CLARITY Act winner due to its ability to manage tokenized assets with superior efficiency compared to its competitors.

Solana would be by far the biggest assymetric winner of the clarity bill passing. The total market cap of US equities is over 50T dollars, 20x larger than the entire crypto market cap. SEC chairman Paul Atkins has expressed his desire to move ALL of that on chain. So where is… pic.twitter.com/6wP8bI2Kd7

Investor confidence is not merely speculative; it responds to solid fundamentals of scalability. Therefore, the market anticipates that this regulation will provide the legal clarity needed for banks to use fast networks for the settlement of traditional financial instruments.

The Rise of Digital Gold and Solana’s Infrastructure A key data point reinforcing this thesis is the performance of tokenized gold within the ecosystem. A report from The Kobeissi Letter reveals that this sector recently hit all-time highs, with volumes jumping 290% above previous records due to global geopolitical tensions.

Notably, Solana managed to capture a massive share of this activity, processing gold transactions equivalent to 25.5 million tokens. This milestone highlights the divergence between general market fear and the actual adoption of digital assets backed by physical goods on this network.

In summary, the success of the CLARITY Act could transform 5.6 billion internet users into potential buyers of bonds and other on-chain assets. If Solana maintains its dominance in executing these contracts, it will consolidate its position as the preferred infrastructure for the new digital economy.

With a 6% gain, Bitcoin is trading at the $71.3K mark. The market has seen $201.34M in BTC liquidations. 5% gain has been recorded in the last few hours within the crypto market. It has pushed the majority of the digital assets into bullish territory. The largest and dominant token, Bitcoin (BTC), has followed suit, registering a 6.76% surge in value. After multiple recovery attempts, the asset is finally on the way to reclaiming the recent highs. 

BTC opened the day trading at a low of $66,237, and with a gradual bullish turn, the price moved up to a high of $71,886. Bitcoin is currently trading at $71,362, and the trading volume has reached $62.28 billion. Also, the BTC market has seen a liquidation of $201.34 million. Consequently, the asset’s Fear and Greed Index is at 10, reporting extreme fear.

With the 4-hour trading pattern, Bitcoin faces a bullish encounter. The price may rise to the resistance zone at $71.4K. Further gains on the upside could trigger the mighty bulls to invite the golden cross to unfold. The asset’s price would eventually climb to a high of $71.5K. 

On the flip side, if the asset’s price chart turns red, it could slip to revisit the $71.2K support range. An extended correction on the downside might push the death cross to take place. Gradually, the potential bears would send the Bitcoin price toward the $71.1K or even lower. 

Can Bitcoin’s Bullish Momentum Sustain in the Near Term? BTC’s Moving Average Convergence Divergence line is found above the signal line, which hints at bullish momentum. This would remain valid as long as the MACD stays above, and then may continue trending upward. Moreover, the Chaikin Money Flow indicator of Bitcoin at 0.12 displays moderate buying pressure, with the money flowing in. This shows ongoing accumulation, and if CMF climbs higher, it can reinforce bullish momentum. 

The daily Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 67.41 signals a strong bullish condition. With buyers firmly in control, Bitcoin may approach the overbought zone. Also, there is a chance that the asset is getting closer to a level where short-term consolidation could occur.

Furthermore, the Bull Bear Power (BBP) value of BTC at 4,467.51 reflects extremely strong bullish dominance. The asset’s price is trading significantly above its average level. It currently displays powerful upward momentum and strong demand in the market.

11% Rally Ignites MUBARAK: Can Bulls Conquer the Next Major Range?

Posted: March 5, 2026

River [RIVER] staged a decisive move, surging roughly 34%, the largest gain recorded across the crypto market over the past 24 hours. Buyer sentiment tilted sharply in favor of the bulls.

Despite the sharp rally, investors still needed caution regarding the longer-term outlook. Indicators tracking investor sentiment weakened notably.

Only 58% of investors maintained a bullish stance on the altcoin as of press time, down from 82% earlier in the day. The shift suggested that confidence had moderated despite strong price action.

Momentum remains elevated Although some investors have reduced their bullish positioning through sentiment-based metrics, technical indicators show that price momentum remains firmly intact.

At the time of writing, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) neared the positive territory, signaling a bullish market structure for RIVER.

The continued expansion of green histogram bars, each forming higher than the previous one, reinforced the view that upward momentum strengthened. This pattern typically reflected sustained buying pressure and supported a constructive outlook.

Source: TradingView

Similarly, the Relative Strength Index (RSI), which measures the speed and magnitude of price changes, placed RIVER in favorable bullish territory.

An RSI reading between 50 and 70 typically signals bullish control. RIVER’s RSI hovered near 55, suggesting buyers still dominated.

At the same time, the altcoin remained below overbought conditions. This left room for additional upside if momentum held.

A critical resistance threat However, a significant resistance level stood directly ahead.

This zone previously triggered a price rejection and remained a critical level. Historically, such resistance often attracts selling pressure after sharp rallies.

If RIVER failed to break above this zone, a pullback could become increasingly likely.

Source: TradingView

Should rejection occur, RIVER could decline toward the $12.24 region. That scenario implied an average correction of roughly 38%.

A milder rejection could produce a shallower pullback with limited downside.

However, aggressive profit-taking could accelerate losses and expose the asset to deeper downside pressure.

Short-term outlook remains constructive In the short term, the Derivatives market data support the possibility of continued upside.

At the time of writing, Open Interest increased by $27.2 million, bringing total Open Interest to $125.16 million. The rise indicated renewed trader participation.

Source: CoinGlass

Meanwhile, Funding Rates turned positive and read 0.0078%. This meant long positions paid shorts, reflecting bullish bias in perpetual futures markets.

The combination of rising Open Interest and positive Funding Rates suggested fresh capital entered the market with a bullish orientation.

If MACD and RSI continued trending upward, and leveraged longs remained concentrated on the upside, RIVER could extend its rebound.

Final Summary RIVER surged 34% in 24 hours, making it the top-performing asset across the crypto market during the period. Investor sentiment weakened despite the rally, with bullish positioning dropping from 82% to 58%.

TLDR:

Solana processed 3.4 billion transactions in February, an 11% increase compared to the previous month. The network outperformed BNB Chain’s activity by eight times and left behind the combined volume of Ethereum’s Layer 2s. The ecosystem concentrates 53% of the USDC stablecoin supply, reaffirming itself as a liquidity hub. In a context of uncertainty last month, Solana’s operational dominance became evident. Data from DeFi Dev Corp. indicates that the network processed over 3.4 billion transactions, contrasting with the slowdown of Bitcoin and Ethereum.

This volume positions Solana above its closest competitor: BNB Chain, which recorded 424 million transactions. For its part, in the Ethereum ecosystem, main activity is shifting towards Layer 2 solutions like Base and Arbitrum, although even these networks combined fall far short of the performance of the network led by Anatoly Yakovenko.

Institutional support and stabilization after capitulation Beyond network metrics, institutional interest was a fundamental support during the recent period of volatility. Spot Solana ETFs captured net inflows worth $950 million, demonstrating persistent confidence despite the SOL price suffering a 12% monthly drop.

On a technical level, Santiment data suggests that the panic selling phase could be coming to an end after recording realized losses close to $1.3 billion early in the month. Currently, selling pressure appears to be diminishing as the asset seeks to stabilize above the $90 zone.

In summary, Solana’s ability to continue with double digits in a bear market underlines its technical efficiency. If this transactional momentum is maintained, the network will consolidate itself as the leading infrastructure for payments and high-frequency decentralized applications in 2026.

Breaking Signal·Market Impact: Medium

Decred jumped 10.03% to $32.61, topping the gainers chart, according to CoinGecko data. Zcash rose 9.09% to $240.25, while Ethereum added 7.71% to $2,125.56. On the downside, NEAR Protocol fell 8.22% to $1.27.

Top Gainers Decred (DCR) rose 10.03% to $32.61, lifting its market cap to $565.41M. Decred runs a hybrid proof-of-work/proof-of-stake design, pairing miner security with ticket-based staking and on-chain governance via Politeia. Its architecture includes a non-custodial DEX for trading without intermediaries. The hybrid model’s ticket staking reduces free-float supply at the margin, a structural feature traders monitor during sharp upswings.

Zcash (ZEC) gained 9.09% to $240.25, valuing the network at $3.98B. ZEC facilitates shielded transfers using zk-SNARKs and is stewarded by Electric Coin Co. alongside the Zcash Foundation. No specific news has been tied to the move. Privacy coins often see outsized swings when liquidity rotates into higher beta names.

Pi Network (PI) advanced 8.00% to $0.1832, pushing its market cap to $1.75B. The project promotes mobile-first “mining” and aims to migrate a large user base onto an open mainnet through a phased rollout with identity checks. The rally extended recent interest in lower-priced tokens with sizable communities.

Dogecoin (DOGE) climbed 7.89% to $0.0968, bringing its market cap to $14.84B. The 2013-era meme token is merge-mined with Litecoin and often trades as a high-beta proxy for risk appetite. Traders pointed to broader altcoin rotation. DOGE remains sensitive to liquidity bursts and social momentum.

Ethereum (ETH) added 7.71% to $2,125.56, taking its market cap to $256.69B. Ethereum anchors the leading smart contract ecosystem, now secured by validators post-Merge, with withdrawals enabled since Shanghai. Scaling advances such as proto-danksharding have shifted activity toward layer-2s, keeping fee dynamics and throughput in focus. Today’s move reinforced strength across large-cap smart contract platforms.

Top Losers NEAR Protocol (NEAR) fell 8.22% to $1.27, with market cap at $1.63B. NEAR is a sharded smart contract network using Nightshade and supports an EVM-compatible environment via Aurora. The token is used for fees and staking, making price sensitive to shifts in risk appetite. Developer-facing features like human-readable accounts and streamlined onboarding remain core to its pitch even as price cooled.

XDC Network (XDC) lost 5.14% to $0.0349, taking its market cap to $696.17M. XDC is an enterprise-focused, EVM-compatible chain linked to tokenized trade finance efforts such as TradeFinex. The downtick kept XDC in the red against a mixed alt tape. Attention stays on real-world asset rails that could expand on-chain settlement for trade workflows.

Morpho (MORPHO) dropped 4.16% to $1.88, putting its market cap at $1.03B. Morpho builds an optimization layer for DeFi lending, matching lenders and borrowers atop protocols like Aave and Compound, and is governed by the MORPHO token. Governance assets tied to emissions, liquidity mining, and parameter changes can exhibit elevated volatility. The slide left MORPHO among the day’s weaker DeFi names by percentage move.

Stable (STABLE) declined 3.99% to $0.0282, valuing it at $580.36M. Public details on the asset remain limited on mainstream trackers, and no project-specific headlines surfaced. The move leaves STABLE fourth on the losers list by percentage change. Traders will watch for any disclosures that clarify token utility and supply dynamics.

MemeCore (M) slipped 3.91% to $1.36, with a market cap of $2.37B. Branding and positioning around meme exposure can make such tokens particularly reactive to flows and sentiment shifts. The decline was the mildest percentage loss among today’s top five decliners. Liquidity pockets around round numbers often shape intraday action in meme-linked names.

Market Outlook Dispersion stayed wide, with the top gainer up 10.03% while the biggest loser shed 8.22%. Large caps participated on the upside as Ethereum rose 7.71% and Dogecoin added 7.89%, while NEAR’s 8.22% drop showed pockets of weakness.

Into the next sessions, watch Bitcoin’s direction for read-through on risk appetite, Ethereum layer-2 fee trends after recent scaling milestones, and any fund flow updates or macro data prints that could sway liquidity. Traders will also track whether today’s privacy and meme moves extend or fade.

The next support is now near the $70,000 zone or the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $66,164 swing low to the $74,062 high. Any more losses might send the price toward the $68,800 support in the near term. The main support now sits at $68,000, below which BTC might struggle to recover in the near term.

Technical indicators:

Hourly MACD – The MACD is now losing pace in the bullish zone.

Hourly RSI (Relative Strength Index) – The RSI for BTC/USD is now above the 50 level.

Major Support Levels – $72,000, followed by $70,000.

Major Resistance Levels – $72,800 and $73,500.

Bitcoin is showing tentative signs of relief after reclaiming the $70,000 level. A move that haskeepingsed selling pressure following weeks of volatile trading. The recovery comes as markets continue to react to macro uncertainty and geopolitical tensions. Which have kept liquidity fragile and investor sentiment cautious. While the push above $70K offers a short-term improvement in momentum, the underlying data suggests that a significant portion of market participants remain under pressure.

According to a recent CryptoQuant report, holders of spot Bitcoin ETFs — which broadly reflect institutional and retail demand through regulated investment vehicles — are currently positioned below their estimated average realized price. Calculated at roughly $79,000, this cost basis leaves the average ETF investor holding a loss despite the recent rebound.

Treat this metric as a reference point, not as a precise measurement of individual investor behavior. ETF flows can obscure internal reallocations between participants, and the estimate cannot perfectly capture every underlying transaction within the funds. Nevertheless, it provides a useful approximation of the aggregate entry level for ETF capital.

Darkfost’s analysis highlights the scale of the recent pressure across spot Bitcoin ETFs. With Bitcoin trading below the $70,000 threshold during much of the correction, these funds recorded the largest drawdown since their all-time high in terms of invested value. In dollar terms, more than $8.9 billion flowed out of the ETF ecosystem as investors reduced exposure during the downturn.

Bitcoin ETF Drawdown from ATH | Source: CryptoQuant The pressure was particularly visible in the largest product in the market. BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), which once held more than 806,000 BTC at its peak, saw substantial withdrawals throughout the correction. According to the data, over 42,000 BTC exited the fund, reflecting a clear wave of distribution as market sentiment deteriorated and price momentum weakened.

These outflows represented a significant source of selling pressure during the decline, reinforcing the broader weakness across spot markets. When large ETFs experience withdrawals, they often need to redeem Bitcoin to meet redemptions, increasing supply on the market.

However, recent data suggests the situation may be stabilizing. The cumulative drawdown from ETF holdings has improved from roughly −$8.9 billion to around −$7.8 billion from the peak. While still negative, this shift indicates that the pace of outflows is slowing.

A renewed wave of demand from ETF investors would likely help Bitcoin establish a stronger structural base moving forward.

On the 4-hour chart, Bitcoin is showing short-term recovery momentum after pushing above the $70,000 level. Price has managed to reclaim the 50-period moving average (blue) and is now testing the 100-period moving average (green), signaling improving short-term strength after weeks of consolidation and lower highs.

BTC testing critical resistance | Source: BTCUSDT chart on TradingView The recent move above $70K represents an important psychological shift. Throughout late February, the $69,000–$70,000 region acted as a consistent rejection zone where sellers repeatedly capped upside attempts. The latest breakout suggests that buyers are beginning to absorb that supply, at least in the short term.

However, the broader structure remains cautious. Bitcoin is still trading below the 200-period moving average (red), currently positioned near the mid-$70K range. This level continues to represent the key resistance that would need to be reclaimed to confirm a stronger trend reversal.

Volume has modestly increased during the breakout attempt, indicating renewed participation, though not yet at levels typically associated with sustained bullish expansions.

From a technical perspective, holding above $69,000 will be critical for maintaining momentum. If this level flips into support, BTC could attempt a move toward the $73,000–$75,000 region. Conversely, a failure to hold above $69K could return the price to the broader consolidation range around $66,000–$67,000.

Brian Miller
Executive VP & CFO

Sure. vertical software company focused exclusively on the public sector market. So we provide a wide range of software applications that manage essential mission-critical functions of government. More of -- most of our focus is the local government level. So cities, counties, school districts, local agencies make up about 70% to 75% of our business. Another 20% to 25% is at the state level and less than 5% federal. So not much exposure there.

We have, by far, the largest, broadest product portfolio in the industry, which is a very fragmented space historically as well as the largest customer base. So we've got about 45,000 systems installed across about 15,000 different jurisdictions. Revenues will be about $2.5 billion this year. Market cap is around 15%. And we also have a growing transactions business as well. So we do a lot of things about processing and transaction-based services, especially for state governments, but we're driving that down into our local government base through integration with our software products. So we have a really -- the transactions are about 1/3 of our business today.
