According to Tokenomist, major cliff unlocks exceeding $5 million over the next seven days are expected from HYPE, $SUI , ENA, GUN, OPN, and EIGEN. Meanwhile, large linear unlocks surpassing $1 million per day include RAIN, SOL, CC, TRUMP, WLD, DOGE, and TAO, bringing the total projected unlock value to more than $643 million.
Strategy pauses Bitcoin buying, ending 13-week accumulation streak
Strategy (MSTR), the largest publicly traded holder of bitcoin, appears to have paused its BTC purchases last week, marking a rare break after a sustained accumulation trend that began in late 2025.
Executive Chairman Michael Saylor typically signals upcoming bitcoin buys with his signature “Orange Dot” post on X every Sunday, followed by a detailed update on Monday morning (U.S. time). However, no such signal appeared this week. Instead, Saylor focused on promoting the company’s new perpetual preferred equity offering, Stretch (STRC), suggesting a near-term shift toward capital-raising activities rather than immediate BTC accumulation.
This pause effectively snaps a streak of roughly 13 consecutive weeks of bitcoin purchases, during which Strategy acquired a total of 90,831 BTC—further cementing its dominance in the corporate bitcoin landscape. According to the company’s latest data, the firm, headquartered in Tysons Corner, currently holds 762,099 BTC at an average purchase price of approximately $75,694 per coin.
The halt in buying comes as MSTR shares remain about 76% below their all-time high, while bitcoin continues to trade under the $67,000 level. The move may reflect a more cautious short-term stance amid ongoing market volatility and macroeconomic uncertainty.
Still, given Strategy’s long-standing commitment to bitcoin as a core treasury asset, market participants are closely watching for the next signal from Michael Saylor to determine whether this is merely a temporary pause or the beginning of a broader strategic shift.

Bitfinex Bitcoin longs hit multi-month high, signaling potential reversal risk
Bullish Bitcoin long positions on Bitfinex have surged to 79,343 BTC, marking the highest level since November 2023. While this may initially reflect growing market optimism, historical data suggests it could serve as a notable contrarian signal.
Specifically, sharp increases in BTC/USD long positions on Bitfinex have often coincided with local price tops and preceded market pullbacks. In other words, when traders become overly bullish, the market tends to move in the opposite direction.
In Q4 2025, long positions rose by approximately 30%, while Bitcoin’s price declined by 23% to $87,550. This inverse relationship has been consistently observed in recent years: prices tend to bottom when long positions peak, and conversely, prices top out when longs reach their lowest levels.
Analysts attribute this phenomenon to market psychology, arguing that the crowd is often late or wrong, making extreme sentiment a signal to trade against.
The latest surge in long positions suggests that Bitcoin’s recent consolidation within the $65,000–$75,000 range could soon resolve to the downside, potentially extending the downtrend that began above $100,000 last year. That said, past performance does not guarantee future results.
Beyond technical signals, macroeconomic risks are also mounting. These include geopolitical tensions involving Iran, oil price volatility, and concerns over potential interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve—all of which support a bearish outlook.

Bittensor ecosystem tokens climbed to around $1.5 billion in total value after TAO surged roughly 90% in March, with smaller subnet tokens significantly outperforming and delivering gains of 200–400%, effectively acting as leveraged bets on the main network.
The rally was fueled by both technological progress and market sentiment. Subnet 3’s Covenant-72B, a decentralized large language model trained by over 70 contributors, achieved competitive performance levels, while public endorsements from Jensen Huang and Chamath Palihapitiya boosted confidence in Bittensor’s decentralized AI approach.
Because subnet tokens are priced based on staked TAO through automated market makers, their valuations amplify TAO’s price movements in both directions, increasing both upside potential and risk.
Looking ahead, the sustainability of this surge will depend on Bittensor’s ability to consistently deliver competitive AI models, alongside potential catalysts such as subnet expansion and a possible TAO spot ETF that could attract institutional capital.

Tezos to host TezDev 2026 in Cannes, spotlighting real-world applications and AI
Tezos will host its annual global gathering of developers and creators on March 30 in Cannes, France, with this year’s program focused on real-world applications. Key sessions will highlight Tezos X scalability, Etherlink’s major speed improvements, and advanced AI integration.
TezDev 2026 marks the fifth edition of the event, bringing together a global community alongside the Ethereum Community Conference. A major new feature is the XP Zone—an interactive environment designed to bridge the gap between code and real-world experience, including a 360-degree immersive room where attendees can engage directly with live projects building on Tezos.
To boost engagement, Tezos will introduce TezQuest, a series of hands-on challenges hosted across project booths, with a total prize pool of $7,000. Participants can explore innovations while competing, with contributions from ecosystem players such as Ledger, Uranium.io, Sogni, as well as Art on Tezos and Fortify Labs.
On the technical front, the program shifts away from theoretical infrastructure toward practical implementation. Tezos co-founder Arthur Breitman will deliver a keynote outlining the network’s next phase, emphasizing the importance of product development and user experience in driving global adoption.
Technical sessions will dive into the Tezos X scalability roadmap, including insights from Nomadic Labs on solving cross-runtime coordination at the protocol level. Engineers will also present Etherlink’s recent performance gains, reducing transaction confirmation times from around 500 milliseconds to under 50 milliseconds.
Additionally, developers will showcase how AI agents are being integrated directly into the Tezos software development lifecycle, alongside discussions on moving from proof-of-concept to real-world asset liquidity.

Ripple debunks XRP escrow rumors as CTO clarifies
David Schwartz, Ripple’s CTO emeritus, has pushed back against recent misinformation surrounding XRP’s escrow mechanism.
The controversy began when an X user resurfaced a 2025 post by Schwartz, in which he explained how escrow works — allowing XRP to enter circulation only at predefined release dates once contract conditions are met.
However, some interpreted this as evidence that a large portion of XRP in escrow had been pre-allocated to specific individuals or entities. Schwartz firmly rejected this claim, stating it is completely false.
He emphasized that his earlier statement was simply an obvious fact for anyone familiar with the XRPL and its escrow system, but it was misrepresented as “inside information” supporting a particular theory.
Escrow, in this context, refers to a financial arrangement where a neutral third party holds funds and releases them only when agreed conditions are fulfilled, ensuring accountability for all parties involved.
Schwartz’s clarification aims to address confusion and reaffirm how XRP’s escrow system actually functions amid growing speculation on social media.

Wall Street is rapidly shifting from talking about tokenization to actively implementing it, signaling a major turning point for traditional finance. Leading institutions like BMO, Nasdaq, and JPMorgan are rolling out real-world applications such as tokenized cash, securities trading, and 24/7 settlement systems, while U.S. regulators and lawmakers are beginning to adapt legal frameworks to support this transition.
Tokenization—digitizing real-world assets on blockchain—promises faster settlement, continuous market operation, and more efficient use of collateral. While speed is often highlighted, the deeper value lies in enabling assets to move, be pledged, and reused more fluidly, especially during periods of market stress.
At its core, this shift is not just about technology but control. Banks, exchanges, and clearinghouses are competing to build and dominate the infrastructure underlying tokenized finance. Meanwhile, policymakers are working to ensure the system remains regulated and aligned with existing financial structures.
Despite challenges like fragmentation, interoperability, and legal uncertainty, the direction is clear: tokenization is no longer a niche crypto concept but a central pillar in the future of global financial markets. The key question now is not whether it will happen—but who will define and control it.

How Bitcoin, Ethereum and other networks are preparing for the quantum threat
As quantum computing moves closer to practical application, the crypto industry is beginning to confront a long-delayed question: what happens if the cryptographic foundations securing trillions of dollars in digital assets no longer hold?
So far, the answers remain far from unified.
Across major ecosystems such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana, responses are diverging along familiar lines—balancing social consensus with technical iteration. Communities are split between cautious deliberation and proactive acceleration.
Quantum computing represents a fundamentally different model of computation. Instead of classical bits (0 or 1), it uses qubits, which can exist in multiple states simultaneously—a property known as superposition. Combined with quantum entanglement, this allows quantum systems to process vast numbers of possibilities at once, making them especially powerful at solving complex problems like factoring large numbers, a cornerstone of modern cryptography.
The potential threat is significant. According to IBM, problems that would take today’s most powerful supercomputers thousands of years to solve could be completed by quantum machines in seconds. This has raised serious concerns about the resilience of cryptographic networks. Even Google, developer of the Willow quantum system, has set a 2029 deadline to transition its authentication infrastructure to post-quantum cryptography.
Bitcoin at the center of debate
Nowhere is this tension more visible than in Bitcoin.
While quantum risks have been acknowledged since the network’s early days, the debate has intensified in recent years as developers began seriously exploring post-quantum signature schemes and the long-term implications of exposed public keys.
Concerns escalated when Wall Street firms such as Jefferies suggested that investors should consider removing Bitcoin from their portfolios due to the potential threat. However, others—including Cathie Wood’s Ark Invest—have defended Bitcoin, arguing that while quantum computing presents a long-term risk, it is not an immediate existential threat.
Developers are now focusing on a key issue: older Bitcoin holdings may be more vulnerable if quantum capabilities advance. Proposals like BIP360 aim to help users gradually migrate funds to more secure addresses rather than forcing a disruptive, network-wide upgrade. Experimental ideas such as “Hourglass” suggest limiting the usability of vulnerable coins over time unless they are moved.
Estimates indicate that millions of BTC—including roughly 1 million associated with Satoshi Nakamoto—could be exposed. Still, opinions differ. Some believe the market could absorb such risks, while others warn that drastic protocol changes may undermine Bitcoin’s core principles.
This highlights a deeper challenge: any solution must respect Bitcoin’s ethos of immutability and minimal intervention. As a result, its quantum strategy is evolving not as a single roadmap, but as a spectrum of proposals dependent on community consensus.
Ethereum and Coinbase shift to execution
If Bitcoin is still debating whether to act, Ethereum has largely moved on to how to act.
Throughout 2025, the Ethereum Foundation quietly intensified its efforts by forming a dedicated quantum research team and elevating post-quantum security to a strategic priority. This shift reflects a growing belief that timelines may be shorter than expected, making early preparation essential.
Ethereum’s approach is not a single upgrade but a phased transition. Research focuses on integrating post-quantum signature schemes into future protocol iterations, alongside architectural improvements like LeanVM to enhance adaptability to new cryptographic standards. The goal is to provide flexibility, allowing gradual adoption without disrupting existing infrastructure.
This mindset extends to major industry players. Coinbase has established an independent advisory board of cryptographers, academics, and quantum experts to assess risks and guide implementation strategies. This move underscores that quantum readiness is no longer just a protocol concern—it is also a business and operational priority.
Layer-2 networks such as Optimism are also exploring their own post-quantum strategies, reflecting a broader trend of parallel experimentation across different layers of the ecosystem.
Solana’s experimental path
In contrast, Solana has taken a quieter, more experimental approach.
In late 2025, developers began introducing early designs for quantum-resistant tools, including the “Winternitz Vault.” This concept allows users to store assets in smart contract-based vaults secured by hash-based, one-time signatures—widely regarded as more resistant to quantum attacks.
Rather than overhauling the protocol, these vaults act as an additional security layer. Users can opt in based on their risk tolerance, while the broader network continues operating as usual. Project Eleven is currently leading efforts to advance post-quantum security within the Solana ecosystem.
Initial community reactions have been largely positive, though the issue has not yet become a central point of debate as it has in Bitcoin or Ethereum.
No consensus on urgency
The divergence in approaches reveals a key reality: the crypto industry has yet to reach consensus on how urgent the quantum threat truly is.
Some argue that practical attacks remain years away, or that the risks are overstated. Others caution that transitioning to quantum-resistant systems could take just as long, making early preparation critical.
What is clear, however, is that the issue is no longer hypothetical. The formation of dedicated research teams, advisory boards, and experimental tools marks a shift from theoretical concern to active planning.
For now, the industry’s response resembles an early stress test rather than a coordinated defense strategy.

Crypto-related stocks and digital assets declined sharply as rising geopolitical tensions and macro uncertainty weighed heavily on market sentiment, pushing Bitcoin to its lowest level since early March.
Bitcoin dropped more than 4% to around $65,800, briefly hitting an intraday low near $65,720. The decline followed escalating conflict developments involving Iran, which triggered a risk-off reaction across global markets. Major altcoins mirrored the downturn, with Ethereum falling about 4% to $1,980, Solana dropping roughly 5% below $83, and BNB slipping around 3% to $608.
The sell-off led to significant market liquidations, with over $500 million in positions wiped out within 24 hours. Notably, nearly 90% of these liquidations came from long positions, highlighting how overly bullish positioning was caught off guard by the sudden shift in sentiment.
Crypto-linked equities also suffered notable losses. Strategy (MSTR), the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, fell more than 5% and touched its lowest level in over a month. BitMine Immersion Technologies (BMNR), a major Ethereum treasury firm, similarly dropped to a monthly low, while Robinhood (HOOD) declined to its weakest level in weeks and is now down more than 11% over the past month, with losses exceeding 50% over six months.
Traditional financial markets were also under pressure, with the Nasdaq falling around 1.5% and both the S&P 500 and Dow Jones declining by over 1%. Despite signals from Tổng thống Donald Trump about potentially pausing further attacks on Iranian energy infrastructure, continued escalation rhetoric from Israel kept investors cautious.
Market sentiment has shifted decisively bearish in recent days. On prediction platforms, traders are now assigning a significantly higher probability to Bitcoin falling to $55,000 rather than rebounding toward $84,000—marking a sharp reversal in outlook compared to earlier in the week.

World Assets, the token issuance arm of World Foundation, sold $65 million worth of WLD tokens via OTC deals to four counterparties at an average price of $0.2719, totaling about 239 million tokens. Around $25 million of the sold tokens are subject to a six-month lockup.
Part of the activity was previously flagged by Lookonchain, which detected a large transfer to Binance and FalconX. The funds raised will support operations, R&D, orb production, and ecosystem growth.
The sale continues ongoing treasury liquidations and comes at a steep discount compared to earlier raises (down from $1.13 in 2025 and $5.43 in 2024). WLD is currently trading around $0.27, down ~97% from its peak.
Looking ahead, significant supply pressure may emerge from a major token unlock event in July 2026, covering over 50% of total supply. Meanwhile, Eightco Holdings remains the largest publicly listed holder with 277 million WLD.

The recent debate within the Ethereum community centers on the Ethereum Foundation (EF)’s new 38-page mandate and how it is being implemented.
The mandate emphasizes CROPS principles—censorship resistance, open source, privacy, and security—but controversy arose after reports that employees were asked to sign loyalty pledges or risk dismissal. While figures like Vitalik Buterin publicly supported the direction, critics argue that forcing internal alignment contradicts Ethereum’s core values of self-sovereignty and voluntarism.
The discussion quickly expanded beyond internal policy to broader concerns about governance, culture, and Ethereum’s identity. Some believe the issue is not the principles themselves, but the EF’s top-down approach and lack of clear metrics for success.
Tensions were further amplified by the EF’s perceived association with the controversial Milady NFT culture, which supporters link to cypherpunk ideals but critics view as toxic and counterproductive for mainstream adoption.
Overall, the situation highlights a deeper cultural divide within Ethereum as it transitions toward a more competitive and clearly defined mission, balancing its original ideals with evolving strategic ambitions.

An ECB-sponsored working paper argues that major DeFi protocols—including Aave, MakerDAO, Ampleforth, and Uniswap—are significantly more centralized than commonly perceived. The study highlights that governance power is highly concentrated, with the top 100 token holders controlling over 80% of voting supply, and the top five wallets alone holding between 36% and 59%. It also notes that most voting activity comes from delegates rather than identifiable end users, creating a system that may lack transparency and allow a small group of actors to consolidate control.
However, Consensys lawyer Bill Hughes strongly criticized the report, saying its conclusions are based on incomplete and pseudonymous data, which introduces major blind spots. He argued that the study relies heavily on subjective interpretation rather than clear, objective benchmarks for decentralization. Hughes also pointed out that the paper defines “true decentralization” as fully autonomous and immutable systems—an extremely high bar that virtually no existing project can meet—potentially narrowing the scope of what regulators might consider sufficiently decentralized.

Bitcoin is heading into the weekend with a clearly broken short-term structure, increasing macro pressure, and a key political catalyst that could influence market direction.
Over the past two weeks, BTC has steadily lost important price levels, dropping from above $73K, failing to reclaim $71.5K, and then breaking down through $68K and $66.9K. This step-by-step deterioration has pushed the market into a lower trading range. As a result, the next major support zone is now seen between $61.7K and $61.1K, while resistance sits at $66.9K, $68K, and $71.5K.
The macro environment is adding to the downside risk. U.S. Treasury yields have climbed to recent highs, while rising oil prices are feeding inflation concerns. These factors are tightening financial conditions and putting pressure on risk assets like crypto.
At the same time, political developments—especially Donald Trump’s statements about Iran—have become an important short-term driver. His recent comments have repeatedly shifted sentiment across stocks, bonds, oil, and crypto, particularly when they signal either easing or escalation of tensions.
Going into the weekend, the market setup is straightforward. If Bitcoin fails to reclaim $66.9K and $68K, the path toward $61.7K becomes increasingly likely. On the other hand, a recovery would require either softer macro conditions or a supportive political signal, potentially triggering a short-term relief bounce.

Bitcoin’s seasonality is often misunderstood because averages hide the bigger picture: market conditions matter more than the calendar.
Some months like October and July show relatively consistent strength, but many others—such as August, November, and December—look positive only because of outliers, while their median returns and win rates remain weak. This means they don’t offer a reliable trading edge.
More importantly, Bitcoin’s performance depends heavily on its yearly trajectory. If the market is already positive early in the year, it is much more likely to finish strong. If it starts weak, recovery becomes difficult unless there is a significant rebound—especially in Q2.
Data shows that:
Early-year strength improves full-year outcomes but often leads to short-term pullbacks.
Month-to-month momentum is unreliable.
The first half of the year, particularly Q2, is critical in determining the final outcome.
For 2026, Bitcoin has started unusually weak, placing it in a “repair or failure” scenario. To recover, it needs a strong Q2 rebound. Without that, typical seasonal optimism—like a strong Q4—may not materialize.
Bottom line: seasonality is conditional, not absolute. The real edge lies in understanding market state and trajectory, not just memorizing “best months.”

Vietnam is emerging as one of the world’s most dynamic economies, drawing attention even from outspoken investor Robert Kiyosaki, who argues that Vietnam today operates more “capitalistically” than the United States.
The country’s growth is driven by real production rather than monetary expansion. In 2025, Vietnam recorded over 8% GDP growth, with manufacturing rising 10% and total trade reaching about $930 billion. Its record trade surplus with the U.S. highlights its growing role in global supply chains.
Rapid infrastructure development—highways, ports, airports, and industrial zones—combined with strong policy execution, is strengthening Vietnam’s economic foundation. At the same time, global manufacturing is shifting toward countries with lower costs and higher productivity, positioning Vietnam as a key beneficiary.
Kiyosaki contrasts this with the U.S., which he criticizes as being increasingly driven by debt and money printing rather than production. While his view is controversial, it underscores a broader trend: economic momentum is shifting toward Asia, with Vietnam standing out as a rising manufacturing powerhouse.
For Kiyosaki, the irony is personal—he once came to Vietnam for war, but now returns to learn from its economic success.

The corporate Bitcoin buying spree is cooling significantly. A $100 billion public-company bet has shrunk, and buying outside Strategy has nearly stopped. Over the past 30 days, Strategy purchased around 45,000 BTC — its highest monthly total since April 2025 — while all other corporate treasuries combined bought only about 1,000 BTC, a 99% drop from the August 2025 peak. Strategy now accounts for roughly 98% of corporate Bitcoin purchases, up from just 5% a few months ago.
Participation is also declining. Non-Strategy companies executed only 13 purchases in the last month, down 76% from the August 2025 peak. Meanwhile, Strategy maintains a steady pace, adding roughly 90,000 BTC since the start of the year. Other companies combined added only 4,000 BTC, reducing their share of corporate Bitcoin from 26% to 24%. Currently, Strategy holds about 76% of corporate Bitcoin, with XXI and Metaplanet at 4.3% and 3.5%.
The financial model that fueled last year’s accumulation is losing effectiveness. Rising Bitcoin prices previously allowed companies to issue shares above the value of BTC held, often using leverage to expand positions. With Bitcoin falling from $126,000 to around $70,000, net asset values drop, stock premiums shrink, and raising capital becomes harder — creating a negative feedback loop that limits further buying.
Stress is appearing across the sector. GD Culture sold its entire 7,500 BTC (~$503 million) to repurchase shares. Across the industry, over 100 companies invested around $100 billion in Bitcoin last year; its value now stands near $83.7 billion. Only a few firms continue buying, while others pause or struggle to execute planned purchases.
Markets are entering a more selective and demanding phase. Companies with strong balance sheets and sustainable access to capital will have advantages, while peak-cycle purchases and leverage increase risk. Some, like Strategy and Strive, are using preferred stock to continue long-term accumulation, while others may need to slow purchases or adjust strategies to maintain shareholder confidence.

A compromised release of LiteLLM turned a routine Python installation into a stealthy infostealer targeting crypto and cloud infrastructure.
On March 24, attackers hijacked a maintainer account and published two malicious versions (1.82.7 and 1.82.8) to PyPI. The more dangerous version (1.82.8) executed automatically on every Python startup via a .pth file, requiring no user interaction.
The malware specifically searched for sensitive crypto assets, including Bitcoin wallet files, Ethereum keystores, and Solana keypairs and validator credentials. It also harvested SSH keys, environment variables, cloud credentials, and Kubernetes secrets, and attempted to expand access by querying AWS services and creating privileged pods in clusters.
Nearly 47,000 downloads occurred within minutes, and thousands of dependent packages were potentially exposed. The attack is part of a broader supply chain campaign targeting developer tools to access high-value crypto infrastructure.
While the malicious packages were quickly removed, the main risk lies in delayed detection. Stolen credentials and wallet data can be exploited later, potentially leading to wallet theft, malicious deployments, or full infrastructure compromise.
The incident highlights the growing threat of software supply chain attacks and the critical need for strict dependency control, secret rotation, and isolated security practices in crypto environments.
