Today, Zhao Changpeng stated, "BUSD is an excellent dollar stablecoin, but it has been stifled in the U.S. Operation Chokepoint 2.0. On the bright side, many new stablecoins are now being launched on BSC."

ChainCatcher news, anEck's Director of Digital Asset Research Matthew Sigel tweeted that Bloomberg legal analysts believe the federal government's likelihood of purchasing Bitcoin this year is 30%.He believes that Trump will not invest political capital into legislation, as he could unilaterally achieve this goal through the Exchange Stabilization Fund (ESF) if he wanted to.

ChainCatcher news, according to Cointelegraph, Nansen research analyst Nicolai Sondergaard stated that despite significant positive developments in the cryptocurrency space, global tariff concerns will continue to put pressure on the market.Before tariff-related issues are resolved, risk assets may lack direction, which could occur between April 2 and July. If the tariff issues are resolved, it will provide a positive catalyst for the market.

ChainCatcher news, according to crypto analyst Ali Martinez disclosed on the X platform, the average loss rate for Bitcoin on-chain traders is 13.86%. Historically, this level indicates that selling pressure may be weakening.

ChainCatcher news, BeInCrypto analysts predict that due to the SEC's announcement today that PoW mining does not constitute a securities offering and is not subject to securities regulations, the SEC may approve multiple altcoin ETFs in Q2 2025. This regulatory clarity could change the chances of approval for some PoW crypto asset ETFs. For example, Litecoin, which falls into this category, is now very likely to be approved.Analysts also added that the SEC previously announced in February that meme coins do not constitute securities, which may be due to regulatory hurdles faced by the Dogecoin ETF. The SEC may declare that all these assets are not securities, laying the groundwork for future ETF applications.

ChainCatcher news, BRN analyst Valentin Fournier analyzed that the inflow rate of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs has slowed down, but this is not necessarily bad news, as overall trading activity remains active. However, the fund inflows of the two assets show a divergent trend. For example, the inflow of Bitcoin ETFs was $11.8 million the previous day, while the outflow of Ethereum ETFs was $11.7 million. Although the inflow has temporarily decreased, the sustained high trading volume indicates ongoing market participation rather than a decline in interest.

ChainCatcher news, according to Decrypt, cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana rose after the Federal Reserve maintained interest rates on Wednesday and the Fed Chair delivered reassuring remarks, with U.S. stock markets also climbing. Looser financial conditions seem to be boosting risk appetite. The dollar recorded its third-largest three-day decline since 2015, while U.S. Treasury yields and bond market volatility also significantly decreased.Real Vision's chief cryptocurrency analyst Jamie Coutts stated that these changes could lay the groundwork for a significant rise in Bitcoin over the next 90 days. Coutts said, "Historically, these signals often precede significant volatility in Bitcoin. The market may currently underestimate the speed at which Bitcoin could rise rapidly—despite ongoing issues with Trump tariffs and potential economic recession, Bitcoin could reach an all-time high before the end of the second quarter."

ChainCatcher message, Fitch analyst Brian Coulton wrote that the latest economic forecasts from Federal Reserve officials reflect the expected impact of tariffs. The Fed now expects the PCE inflation rate to be 2.7% by the end of 2025, up from the December estimate of 2.5%. The GDP growth forecast has been downgraded from 2.1% to 1.7%.This change "illustrates the adverse effects of tariffs," as tariffs will raise the prices of imported consumer goods and capital goods. Coupled with the recent sharp rise in households' expectations for inflation over the next five years, this makes the Fed's job even more difficult.

ChainCatcher news, Matthias Scheiber, head of Allspring's Global Multi-Asset Solutions team, stated that in light of growing concerns about tariffs and their potential impact on U.S. economic growth and inflation, the Federal Reserve has adopted a widely expected 'wait-and-see' approach to interest rates. We believe that the next possible window for the Fed to cut rates will be in May or later, and some market analysts now expect three rate cuts in 2025, instead of the two cuts anticipated a month ago.The interest rate market currently expects the Fed to lower rates to around 3.75% by the end of the year. This largely depends on how the balance between inflation and growth tilts, as the economy may continue to weaken, and the Fed may need to cut rates more aggressively than expected.

ChainCatcher news, Coindesk analyst Omkar Godbole stated that the market is focusing on the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision on Wednesday, believing it could provide support for the market. Some believe that if the end of the balance sheet reduction plan (i.e., quantitative tightening) is announced, it could have a positive impact on the market.The market expects the Federal Reserve to maintain the current interest rate range of 4.25% to 4.50%. Therefore, the focus will be on how policymakers plan to advance the quantitative tightening program, as there are concerns that this could affect the system's liquidity, while the Treasury is working to address the ongoing debt ceiling issue. Additionally, the market will be watching the economic forecast summary.

ChainCatcher news, according to Ai Yi's monitoring and analysis, the previously tracked "hoarding SHELL new address" is indeed a market maker's buyback address.The Myshell project team previously announced that they would use 8 million USDT to buy back SHELL and complete the buyback within 90 days. Since March 13, this address has cumulatively withdrawn 18.45 million SHELL from CEX, approximately 5.43 million USD, which means 68% of the buyback progress has been completed.

ChainCatcher news, institutional surveys show that interviewed analysts expect the European Central Bank to cut interest rates two more times this year, and no longer anticipate that the bank's rates will fall below 2%.The monthly survey indicates that after six rate cuts so far, the European Central Bank is still likely to cut rates consecutively in April and June. However, unlike the previous survey, respondents expect the deposit rate (currently at 2.5%) to remain at 2% before the end of the survey period. In mid-February, a slight majority had anticipated that rates would eventually drop to 1.75% by March 2026. Governments across Europe plan to significantly increase defense investments, which could boost sluggish economic growth and exacerbate inflation.In addition to military spending, Germany also intends to increase spending by several hundred billion euros to renovate its aging infrastructure. Deutsche Bank economist Marco Wagner stated that this spending "will increase inflationary pressure by the end of 2026."

ChainCatcher news, according to Cointelegraph, Bitfinex analysts pointed out that several key technical indicators have turned bearish, leading to speculation that the bull market cycle may have ended prematurely. Nevertheless, Bitcoin's 4-year cycle remains an important factor. Historical price trends suggest that it is not yet the beginning of a long-term bear market, and the $72,000-$73,000 range remains a key support zone. Global government bond yields and stock trends may determine Bitcoin's next major move.

ChainCatcher news, according to Cointelegraph, analysts say that Bitcoin needs to maintain a closing price above $81,000 this week to avoid further downward volatility ahead of next week's FOMC meeting.Bitget Research Chief Analyst Ryan Lee stated that if Bitcoin's weekly closing price falls below $81,000, it may further adjust to around $76,000 next week. The results of the FOMC meeting scheduled for March 19 could significantly impact Bitcoin investor sentiment.

ChainCatcher news reports that on social media, on-chain data analyst Murphy published statistics stating that the cost basis for ETH accumulated from January to February 2025 is roughly between $3,200 and $3,500. A cluster of addresses has been intensively accumulating at $3,475, totaling 1.66 million ETH. This group did not sell during the drop of ETH to $1,900 and instead added to their positions, currently holding 1.94 million ETH with a reduced cost basis of $3,150.Additionally, the cost basis for the chips accumulated in mid-February 2025 is approximately between $2,600 and $2,800. This group started to cut losses as the ETH price fell below $2,300, and currently, only the chips at $2,800 and $2,630 remain unchanged, holding 1 million and 850,000 ETH respectively.As the price of the coin continues to decline, new demand for ETH has gradually weakened, especially after the price fell below $2,000, where data shows there is almost no new purchasing power.Murphy explains that the high-position trapped chips, after a series of self-rescue replenishments, now seem to have exhausted their purchasing power; the current price of $1,850 is the cost price for large holders who accumulated two years ago. When the price drops to this level, they start to replenish (buying back parts sold at high positions to average down costs), thus forming a support effect. If this price level cannot provide support, the decline may reach $1,600 and $1,250, which are the "remaining support levels from three years ago's accumulation."From the overall behavior of current investors, the most important factor is still the reconstruction of consensus on ETH's value. If an effective consensus cannot be formed, the currently trapped chips at high positions of $2,630 (850,000), $2,800 (1 million), and $3,150 (1.945 million) will all become significant obstacles on the path to recovery.

ChainCatcher news, according to Cointelegraph, the Bitcoin to gold ratio has fallen below a rising support trend line that has lasted for 12 years. Popular analyst NorthStar stated that if Bitcoin stays below the gold trend line for even a week, or worse, a month, this breakdown could signify the end of Bitcoin's 12-year bull market.It is reported that gold prices have surpassed the historical high of $3000 per ounce, rising approximately 12.80% year-to-date, while Bitcoin has decreased by 11% in 2025. According to data from the World Gold Council, U.S. spot gold ETFs have attracted over $6.48 billion in inflows this year, with global gold ETF inflows reaching $23.18 billion; in contrast, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs have seen a net outflow of about $1.46 billion.

ChainCatcher news, CoinDesk analyst Sam Reynolds stated that according to Pitchbook data, venture capital financing in the U.S. cryptocurrency sector was approximately $861 million in the first quarter of 2025, while the AI industry attracted nearly $20 billion, with funding still clearly leaning towards artificial intelligence. Major financing in the AI sector includes: Databricks $15.3 billion, Anthropic $2 billion, totaling 795 transactions. The largest financing in the cryptocurrency industry was Abu Dhabi MGX's investment of $2 billion in Binance, with other financings including Mesh $82 million, Bitwise $70 million, and Sygnum Bank $58 million.Historical data shows that AI financing grew from $670 million in 2011 to $36 billion in 2020, with an overall growth rate far exceeding that of the cryptocurrency sector, where in 2021, a classification adjustment briefly caused cryptocurrency financing to surpass AI. Despite the dominance of AI funding, the cryptocurrency industry still obtains funds through unique mechanisms such as airdrops, which generated a total of $700 million from the top 11 airdrops from 2020 to 2024.According to Statista data, historical data shows that venture capital has generally favored artificial intelligence (AI) over cryptocurrencies, with funding for AI and machine learning continuing to grow and expand exponentially, increasing from $670 million in 2011 to $36 billion in 2020.

ChainCatcher message, the current price of Bitcoin is approximately $81,915.1, up $830.3 (+1.02%) for the day. Bo Hines, the Executive Director of the White House Digital Assets Working Group, revealed in a meeting that President Trump plans to establish a "no scale limit" Bitcoin strategic reserve, to be executed in a "budget-neutral" manner. This move is interpreted by the market as elevating Bitcoin to a strategic status equivalent to the US dollar. Cryptocurrency opinion leader The Bitcoin Historian referred to this as an "absolutely massive game changer."Analysts suggest: If the US follows El Salvador in incorporating Bitcoin into its treasury, it would be the first case of a sovereign nation holding BTC on a national scale. The current price is in a long-term demand zone, and the $80,000-$73,000 range is suitable for long-term positioning. Investors are advised to closely monitor economic and policy trends and to manage risks to cope with market uncertainties.
