The Canadian government has officially banned political donations in crypto.

On March 26, this was submitted as part of Bill C-25. The amendment to the Canada Elections Act aims to definitively end potential channels for untraceable foreign funding.

Canada imposes heavy fines of up to $100,000 for delinquents.

The law prohibits cryptocurrency donations for political activities, advertisements, and election research. The ban also extends to money orders and prepaid payment cards due to concerns about traceability.

On Monday, March 23, President Trump announced a 5-day pause on attacks on Iranian energy infrastructure. As a result of this decision, American stocks surged by $1.7 trillion, oil prices fell by 15%, and Bitcoin rose above $70,000. The pause has now been extended to April 6.

But Tehran called these reports 'fake news' and Israel has already violated Trump's pause. Almost all financial gains had disappeared within a week. So, did Donald Trump really have good talks with Iran or was it just meant to boost the financial markets so that big players could cash in?

BNP Paribas is expanding its digital asset presence by launching six new crypto-linked exchange-traded notes (ETNs). With these products, customers can indirectly benefit from price movements of digital assets such as Bitcoin and Ethereum.

For the largest bank in Europe by assets, this launch represents an important step forward in their strategy to connect traditional finance with the crypto ecosystem.

What investors need to know about BNP's new ETNs

However, European regulations have a significant impact on the rollout. The Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID II) requires the bank to implement strict protective measures for investors.

The World Foundation, the organization behind the digital identity project Worldcoin (WLD), has completed an over-the-counter (OTC) token sale of $65 million.

According to a statement from March 28, World Assets Ltd, a subsidiary of the foundation, carried out block trades last week with four private parties. The transactions, the first settlements of which began on March 20, were executed at an average price of $0.2719 per token.

World Foundation sold WLD tokens to finance Orbs production.

Ethereum (ETH) price is now up by 2.93% in March, the first green month since August 2025. Every month from September to February closed in the red, resulting in a six-month losing streak during which more than 50% of the ETH value was lost.

With just a few days left in March, the question is whether Ethereum can maintain this gain or if counterforces will cause the month to close red and extend the losing streak to seven months.

March started strong, but the second half tells a different story

The XRP price has risen by about 3% since the March 27 low of $1.31, and has reclaimed the $1.35 level. However, this increase seems more like the formation of a bear flag than the beginning of a real recovery, especially since broader market conditions are not cooperating.

Since the 12-month high of $1.60 on March 17, XRP has already corrected by 18%. The intraday increase looks positive at first glance, but the chart, derivatives, and on-chain data all point in the same direction.

Bear flag is forming while hidden bearish divergence is building up

The Bitcoin (BTC) price has dropped by approximately 9% since it briefly touched $72,000 on March 25. As a result, all gains from the past 30 days have been lost again, and Bitcoin is now at -2.6% this month. The price has hardly moved in the past 24 hours and is fluctuating around $66,900.

This decline resulted in a bearish breakout of a pattern on the 12-hour chart. However, a hidden bullish divergence indicates that a bounce may be possible in the short term. Whether this bounce will be strong enough to break through the supply above depends on the on-chain data.

P2P.me, a crypto payment platform, is facing questions about a $20,000 Polymarket bet linked to their own fundraising campaign after it was revealed that they had bet on the outcome before the round was public.

On March 27, P2P.me announced that it had sold a Polymarket position based on achieving their goal of $6 million in fundraising. The company stated that they placed these bets 10 days before the funding round officially began.

Bitcoin continued to fall on March 28, trading around $66,200, as markets reacted to growing doubts about de-escalation between the US and Iran. President Donald Trump's 10-day pause on energy strikes has not reassured investors, especially after reports that Israel continued attacks during that period.

This response is visible in all markets.

The S&P 500 has steadily declined this week, reaching its lowest level in six months.

This broad wave of selling shows a clear shift towards a risk-averse sentiment, with investors retreating from stocks as geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty increases.

The Royal Government of Bhutan has liquidated approximately $120 million in Bitcoin since the beginning of the year.

With this step, Bhutan accelerates a sales strategy, causing the digital reserves of the Himalayan kingdom to have decreased by more than 60% since the high.

Why is Bhutan aggressively selling its Bitcoin holdings?

On March 28, blockchain analysis platform Arkham Intelligence reported that the last transaction took place on March 27, when the government sent 123.7 BTC—worth approximately $8.5 million—to a previously unused address.

Morgan Stanley, the banking giant with $9 trillion in assets, is preparing to enter the U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF market with the lowest rate in this category.

This pricing strategy shows that the bank wants to quickly capture market share in one of the busiest product categories in the crypto world.

Morgan Stanley sets 0.14% fees for new Bitcoin ETF

On March 27, the banking giant submitted an amended S-1 registration statement, proposing a rate of 0.14% for the new ETF.

Altcoins are preparing for decisive movements this weekend. Some altcoins have seen significant increases this week and are now consolidating above key support levels. At the same time, other altcoins are approaching critical lows.

Therefore, BeInCrypto has analyzed three altcoins that investors should watch this weekend.

Memecore (M)

Memecore started the week around $1.60 and rose on March 25 to $2.53, after which the price sharply dropped to $1.74 on March 26. Since then, the token has recovered to $2.09, just above the 0.618 Fibonacci level at $2.02, indicated as the green horizontal line on the chart. That level has been tested twice since the breakout and held both times.

Prediction markets have processed more than $154 billion in total volume, with daily trading volume on Polymarket alone often exceeding $300 million.

The scale raises a more important question. These platforms no longer resemble niche betting offices. They increasingly resemble retail stock trading.

This analysis uses on-chain data, primarily from Polymarket—the largest platform in terms of users and transactions in a market dominated by a Polymarket-Kalshi duopoly—to directly assess this shift.

The U.S. Department of the Treasury announced on Thursday, March 26, that Donald Trump will be the first sitting president to have his signature appear on U.S. dollar bills, in commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the U.S.

This decision immediately raises questions about the future of the bills when the current government resigns. According to American law, all issued coins and bills remain legal tender forever, but a subsequent government could quietly stop printing these bills.

Hyperliquid (HYPE) price is at $38.27, a decrease of 2.31% today. Due to a formed double top pattern and a large liquidation cluster at $35.03, there is a high chance that the price will accelerate further down.

The token has not maintained above $42.67 and the price is now consolidating. Two separate signals are currently determining the short-term trend line.

HYPE long traders should be concerned

The HYPE liquidation heatmap shows that there is a cluster of leveraged long positions around $35.03. The total leverage amount for long liquidations at this level is $27.36 million.

President Donald Trump has just made a striking merchandise announcement on his official website for his meme coin and digital trading cards. Exactly 2,024 physical collectible cards have been released, each with a piece of real fabric from his famous debate suit.

Trump wore this suit on June 27, 2024, during the first presidential debate, which was seen as a 'knock-out' performance. This very limited edition combines memorabilia, NFTs, and full meme coin hype in classic Trump style.

Pi Coin (PI) price is at $0.178, a decrease of 3.26% today. The price is pressing against the 0.236 Fibonacci level at $0.189. The price chart repeats a structure from November and December 2025.

On-chain metrics follow the same pattern with a one-cycle delay. The example from December ended badly for PI.

CMF repeats Pi Coin’s December crash

The CMF peaked at nearly 0.30 in mid-March 2026, when PI rose to $0.299. After that, the value dropped in a straight line to -0.11. The declining blue trend line shows no flattening or bottom yet.

Bittensor (TAO) is trading at $322, a decrease of 6.97% today after the price briefly touched $380 on March 26.

On the 2-day chart, it can be seen that TAO broke the 0.618 Fibonacci resistance at $306, a zone that held back every rally for four months. But this rise stopped immediately.

TAO holders' sentiment drove the breakout

The Santiment weighted sentiment graph shows the period from March 3 to 26, 2026. The TAO sentiment rose above 5.0 on March 25 — the highest value on the graph — when the price surged towards $380. On March 26, however, the sentiment dropped to 0.684 while the price fell sharply.

After a brief improvement in sentiment, fear has returned to the crypto market. This now dominates discussions on social media. The Bitcoin price has fallen below $70,000 again, raising concerns among retail investors.

Although negative sentiment is spreading on social media, on-chain data shows that the actual role of retail investors is more complex than it appears.

Retail FUD sentiment is rising: is Bitcoin about to recover?

Blockchain analysis platform Santiment recently observed an increase in negative Bitcoin-related search terms on social media.

Ethereum (ETH) is at $2,068 and is directly moving against the 0.236 Fibonacci level at $2,055. The token is caught between two forces: long-term holders are taking profits on their higher purchase prices, while whale addresses are buying up these coins to prevent a major drop.

The $2,000 level is the dividing line between these two groups. Which group wins determines the next big movement.

Old ETH holders are selling

The Glassnode HODL Waves chart that tracks 3-to-5-year holders runs from December 26, 2025, to March 26, 2026. During this period, their share of the total ETH supply remained between 14.2% and 14.4% from the end of December to January 20, before a slow decline began.
