This divergence, old sport, suggests that investors are tucking their Bitcoin into long-term storage with the zeal of an aunt hoarding marmalade. The question on everyone’s lips: Is the price gearing up for a jolly big move? Might Bitcoin be plotting a dash to $100K?
XRP Holders Selling at Loss as Price Struggles As a researcher tracking XRP, I’m observing a concerning trend: increasing market pressure is leading many holders to sell at a loss.

As Pi Network gains traction and development speeds up, traders are wondering if the price can keep going up and reach $0.35 again.

On the fourth day of March, in the year of our Lord 2026, Sillytuna, a trader of renown, took to the social network X to proclaim his misfortune. “Alas,” he cried, “my wallet hath been emptied of $24 million in AUSD/aEThUSDC!” Not by a simple misclick, mind you, but by a scheme so devious it would make Tartuffe blush. Address-poisoning, they call it, paired with threats of violence and kidnapping. A most elaborate charade, indeed!

Bitcoin had its fun, poking around above $68,500 and showing us all what a real rally looks like. It gallivanted above $70,000 and even broke through $72,000 like a champion. But then, like any good plot twist, the bears decided to join the party near $74,000. The high of $74,062 was set-oh, the drama! But as it always does, Bitcoin turned tail and started correcting its course. A dip below $72,000 and the 23.6% Fib retracement level from the swing low of $66,164 to the grand peak of $74,062 brought it back to earth.

On the fourth of March, with great fanfare and self-congratulatory aplomb, Bitwise announced a $233,000 donation to the sacred trinity of open-source Bitcoin development: Brink, OpenSats, and the Human Rights Foundation’s Bitcoin Development Fund. A pittance, perhaps, compared to their billions in assets, but enough to buy a few more lines of code from the toilers in the digital mines.

So, what happened in Q1? Well, let’s just say it wasn’t pretty for holders. Nearly 50% of Bitcoin’s (BTC) supply was underwater. But it wasn’t just the wallets feeling the chill. The network itself seemed to be breaking a sweat. The hashrate started reflecting the stress, like a nervous breakdown in code.
This commission-level guidance, titled with the poetic flourish of a government document-“Application of the Federal Securities Laws to Certain Types of Crypto Assets and Certain Transactions Involving Crypto Assets”-is a masterpiece of ambiguity. It hints at a future where crypto firms might navigate registration and operations with the precision of a blindfolded tightrope walker. An SEC spokesperson, in a moment of candor, revealed to Bloomberg that the agency will ponder “interpretive guidance around a token taxonomy for crypto assets.” Ah, taxonomy! How delightfully scientific, as if cryptocurrencies were butterflies to be pinned and labeled, their inherent properties, behavior, and use cases scrutinized under the cold gaze of regulation.
The fund, under the ticker TDOT, will allow investors to berth themselves passively alongside Polkadot’s price, avoiding the outright purchase or labyrinthine custody of the token. Trading is set to commence on 6 March – because nothing says “investor confidence” like a date that’s only a few months away.
