изобщо 63507A negative Bitcoin funding rate could indicate an upcoming short squeeze once the price climbs above $70,000.
Bitcoin continues to trade within its established range, the funding rate has moved into negative territory, and BTC open interest remains unchanged. The data may be pointing toward a short‑squeeze that could push Bitcoin back toward the $70,000 level.
World Liberty Financial Attributes Issues to a ‘Coordinated Attack’ — Yet Might Underlying Problems Remain?
World Liberty Financial (WLFI) reported a coordinated attack on its USD1 stablecoin on Monday. The token, with a market cap near $4.8 bn, briefly fell below its $1 peg before quickly recovering. The incident drew immediate attention because of the project's political connections. In a post on X, WLFI said hackers compromised co‑founder accounts, paid influencers to spread fear, and opened large short positions on the WLFI token. The company's engineering and security teams countered the attack, maintaining system integrity. The team described the event as a multi‑pronged effort to undermine confidence. Social media users linked the assault to a forthcoming insider‑trading investigation announced by on‑chain analyst ZachXBT for February 26. Some pointed to Eric Trump deleting and later reposting about WLFI as possible evidence. Prediction markets on Polymarket placed an 18 % chance that WLFI is the target, though no proof exists. No confirmed connection between the USD1 depeg and the upcoming probe has been established. WLFI’s native token WLIF trades around $0.112, down 66 % from its all‑time high of $0.33. The situation remains under observation.
Bitcoin falls beneath $64,000 as market volatility escalates
Bitcoin fell to $63,957, slipping below the $64,000 support on March 25, 2025. Traders now watch $63,000 and $61,500 as possible support zones. Exchange volume rose about 18 % in 24 hours, indicating active repositioning. Futures open interest eased slightly and funding rates normalized, suggesting deleveraging ahead of the spot correction. Uncertainty over global monetary policy, especially mixed signals from the Federal Reserve, pressured risk‑on assets. Recent outflows from major spot Bitcoin ETFs reduced institutional inflows. These macro and flow dynamics combined to amplify the price decline. Transfers from long‑term wallets to exchanges modestly increased, hinting at potential sell pressure. Miner outflows stayed within historic ranges, while the network hash rate remains near all‑time highs. Key technical markers to watch are $63,000 (psychological), $61,500 (50‑day SMA), and $67,200 as resistance. A 4–5 % pullback aligns with past corrections during bullish cycles and may purge over‑leveraged positions. Spot Bitcoin ETFs and regulated products continue to anchor long‑term demand, offering a structural upside. Despite short‑term volatility, strong fundamentals keep the long‑term case for Bitcoin positive.
Crypto.com Advances Toward Federal Banking Supervision After Receiving OCC Approval
Crypto.com announced on Monday that it has obtained conditional authorization from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency to establish a national trust bank.

A recent test of Bitcoin as reserve collateral was conducted at a valuation of $64,000.
Michael Saylor downplays worries that quantum computing threatens Bitcoin, labeling it a market distraction.
Saylor calls the quantum threat a market distraction. He says it is a psychological fear appearing without stronger narratives. MicroStrategy holds ~226k BTC, reinforcing his confidence. Past scares—Chinese mining dominance, hardware backdoors, 2021 ban—spiked anxiety but Bitcoin adapted. Mining shifted globally and transparency grew. These cycles show Bitcoin’s resilience. Today’s quantum computers have only hundreds of noisy qubits, far short of the millions required to break ECDSA. Experts see a break 10‑15 years away, giving upgrade time. Post‑quantum signature research and NIST standards are underway. Investors overreact to vivid headlines, driven by availability bias and narratives. Saylor sees them as short‑term volatility, not core risk. MicroStrategy treats quantum risk as manageable, emphasizing long‑term holding and secure custody.
2026 Crypto Lending Outlook: Rising Institutional Demand and Adaptive Loan Models
2026 sees crypto lending pivot from speculation to institutional liquidity. Funds and treasuries demand regulated collateral, stablecoin or fiat access without selling assets. Platforms offering verifiable custody, clear LTV rules and hybrid CeFi/DeFi structures win. Borrowers now prioritize capital efficiency and downside protection over leverage. They seek stable rates, transparent risk metrics and early volatility alerts. Safe LTV ratios that prevent forced liquidation are the new norm. Clapp offers a revolving crypto‑backed line with interest only on drawn funds and 0% APR on unused credit. Real‑time LTV monitoring, margin alerts and multi‑asset collateral enable active risk control. Institutions access lines from 1% APR, flexible LTV and no prepayment penalties, matching the market’s risk focus.
Crypto.com announced it has been granted conditional approval for a national bank charter.
The market continues to evolve, spanning topics from Bitcoin to artificial intelligence. IREN has launched a GW‑scale infrastructure specifically designed to meet the needs of hyperscale operators. Analysts warn against purchasing during the risky dip, noting that valuations remain excessively high. Crypto investment funds experienced a historic withdrawal of $288 million last week, according to a report. Bitcoin briefly fell below $65,000 as uncertainties surrounding tariffs pressured cryptocurrency prices.
Crypto.com Secures Conditional Trust Charter Authorization from the OCC
Crypto.com has secured a conditional trust charter from the OCC, allowing it to broaden its custody services.

Circle and Ripple have obtained comparable approvals, aligning them with recent regulatory developments.
Cryptocurrency experiences further drops while concerns over AI cause IBM to tumble 11%
Anthropic, an artificial‑intelligence firm, revealed that its Claude system is capable of streamlining COBOL code, which remains a major revenue source for IBM.
Jane Street expands its MSTR strategy stake by 473%, bringing its shareholding to $121 million.
Jane Street enlarged its MicroStrategy position by 473%, now owning 951,000 shares worth about $121 million. With $662 billion AUM, the firm becomes one of MSTR’s top institutional shareholders. The move signals heightened interest in the company’s Bitcoin‑linked equity. The firm announced its 100th Bitcoin purchase, buying 592 BTC at an average $67,286 between Feb 16‑22. The acquisition was funded by selling 297,940 common shares, netting $39.7 million. MSTR now holds 717,722 BTC, costing $54.56 billion at an average $76,020 per coin. MSTR has slipped nearly 15% this month and over 60% in three months, though it recovered about 30% from recent lows. The stock trades around the $120‑$130 support zone, with upside potential toward $150 and downside risk below $118. Market moves often outpace Bitcoin’s own price changes. Institutions favor equity‑based Bitcoin exposure for liquidity and regulatory ease, making MSTR an attractive proxy. Jane Street’s parallel $276 million investment in BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust underscores this trend. As long as MicroStrategy keeps Bitcoin central to its treasury, it should remain a key target for indirect crypto investments.
Stunning AI Spy Scandal: Anthropic Reveals 24,000 Fraudulent Accounts in Chinese Labs Exploiting Claude Amid Ongoing Chip Export Dispute
Anthropic’s security team uncovered a coordinated campaign by three Chinese AI labs—DeepSeek, Moonshot AI, and MiniMax—using over 24,000 fake accounts to query Claude. The operation produced more than 16 million exchanges, focusing on Claude’s advanced reasoning, tool use, and coding capabilities. It unfolded as the United States debated loosening export controls on AI chips to China. Model distillation is legitimate for internal optimization, but applying it to a competitor’s proprietary system amounts to intellectual‑property theft. Illicitly distilled models lack the safety safeguards built into U.S. AI services, raising the risk of malicious uses such as cyber attacks or disinformation. Experts warn that this practice amplifies national‑security concerns and calls for clearer legal protections. Anthropic urges a multi‑layered strategy that combines technical detection tools, industry standards, and stricter export controls on advanced chips. Policymakers are asked to limit chip sales to firms implicated in distillation attacks. Broad cooperation among AI companies, cloud providers, and governments is deemed essential to protect frontier models.
XRP Is Near Its Historic Low-Performance Zone—Key Details Every Trader Should Understand
Cryptocurrency prices are volatile, and XRP, despite solid adoption, is no exception. The token currently trades around $1.37 and is testing a key technical level. While the overall macro trend stays bullish, XRP is in a corrective phase that requires attention to chart structure over hype. The 44‑period EMA on the monthly chart acts as a historic pivot and “pain zone” for XRP. Past interactions with this line have marked decisive turns, either sharp drops or strong rebounds. Egrag Crypto notes that XRP’s response here could shape its direction for months ahead. Three outcomes are possible: a “flush” if XRP closes below the EMA, potentially pushing price to $0.65‑$0.85; a relief bounce staying above the EMA, aiming near $2.20 but risking a bull trap; or a true breakout above $2.20‑$2.30, which could pave the way to new all‑time highs. The short‑term outlook is neutral‑to‑bearish until a clear breakout occurs. Monitoring the 44 EMA helps traders avoid premature bullish entries and position for possible corrections or relief rallies. Long‑term holders can use the level as a gauge for when to accumulate or exercise caution. The coming weeks will reveal which scenario unfolds, making the EMA a critical indicator for market navigation.
Purchasing XRP Now: Comparing Centralized Exchanges, Swap Aggregators, and Wallets
Centralized exchanges like Binance, Kraken and Coinbase provide the deepest XRP liquidity and direct fiat on‑ramps. They require KYC, hold funds custodially, and charge around 0.1%‑0.4% plus withdrawal fees. This option fits traders who need high liquidity and fiat‑to‑crypto conversion. Swap aggregators such as SwapSpace compare rates across many instant providers and allow non‑custodial swaps without an account. Trades settle instantly to the user’s wallet, with fees baked into the quoted price. They suit crypto holders who prioritize privacy, speed, and better pricing. Multi‑chain wallets like Ledger Live, Exodus and Trust Wallet embed swap tools that convert assets to XRP inside the app. The convenience keeps private keys under user control, but spreads are higher and rate choices limited. This path is best for users who value ease of use over the lowest price.

Crypto.com announced it has secured conditional approval for a U.S. national trust bank charter, opening the door for the digital‑asset exchange to deliver its crypto services as a federally regulated institution.
Vitalik Buterin Exposes Bitcoin’s Key Privacy Compromise: The Decentralization Conundrum
Vitalik Buterin explained that Bitcoin’s creators chose decentralization over privacy because early cryptographic tools could not support both. The original protocol makes every transaction publicly readable, sacrificing anonymity to achieve consensus without central authorities. This trade‑off was a technical necessity, not a ideological rejection of privacy. Since Bitcoin’s launch, zero‑knowledge proofs such as zk‑SNARKs have enabled verification without revealing transaction details. Developments like the Zerocoin protocol, Zcash, and modern zk‑rollups demonstrate that confidential transfers are now feasible on decentralized networks. These methods allow selective visibility of sender, receiver, and amount while preserving security. Ethereum’s later development timeline and flexible architecture have allowed integration of privacy solutions like Tornado Cash, Aztec, and various Layer‑2 zk‑rollups. These projects showcase how advanced cryptography can be applied where Bitcoin’s original design could not. However, they face scrutiny over compliance, complexity, and user adoption. Privacy‑focused blockchains confront anti‑money‑laundering and know‑your‑customer regulations that favor transparent ledgers. Emerging approaches—selective disclosure, auditability layers, and Layer‑2 confidentiality—seek to balance privacy with legal requirements. Ongoing research in homomorphic encryption, multi‑party computation, and more efficient zk‑SNARKs promises to reconcile decentralization with strong privacy in future systems.
India’s Tactical Tariff Cut: A Clever Move for Global Trade Talks in 2025
India cut tariffs on electronics components, pharmaceutical raw materials and renewable‑energy equipment, lowering import costs and spurring domestic manufacturing. The Ministry of Commerce framed the move as part of a broader liberalisation that still protects emerging sectors. It aligns with WTO commitments and responds to partner concerns over market‑access barriers. The reductions have revived talks with the EU and the UK and strengthened India’s role in the Indo‑Pacific Economic Framework. Import volumes of the affected goods rose 18% in the first month, while foreign portfolio inflows hit $2.1 billion. ING projects a 0.8 % lift in India’s GDP over three years if major agreements are sealed. Amid supply‑chain diversification and climate‑focused trade, India positions itself as a reliable partner for diversified markets. The policy supports the goal of a $5 trillion economy by 2027 and helps curb inflation, with CPI falling to 4.2 %. Continued industrial upgrading will be needed to balance competition and growth.
WLFI USD1 Breach: Hackers Trigger Price Decline
WLFI reported that the USD1 stablecoin was targeted by a combined hacking and short‑selling campaign. The attack caused the token’s price to drop roughly 7 %, falling to 0.9924 USD. The incident occurred shortly after a forum related to former President Trump. Market indicators show a persistent downtrend, with the Relative Strength Index positioned at 42. The nearest support level is identified around 0.0961 USD. Binance’s involvement was noted in the ongoing developments.
Bitcoin’s crucial weekly trend flips for the first time in over two years—does this signal the end for BTC?
The weekly candle closed below a key moving average, interrupting a 30‑month upward trend. This breach could signal that further price declines toward new lows are forthcoming.
Google Cloud AI Unveils Key Strategy: The Three Crucial Pillars Driving Enterprise AI Adoption
Google Cloud defines AI success by three dimensions: raw intelligence, response latency, and cost‑effective scalability. This framework moves beyond pure performance metrics to address real business limits. Models such as Gemini Pro illustrate the intelligence frontier, instant‑reply use cases need the response‑time frontier, and large‑scale content moderation stresses the cost frontier. Agentic AI is still nascent, and many firms lack standardized audit, data‑access, and compliance patterns. Software engineering adopts faster because existing code‑review pipelines act as guardrails, whereas other sectors lag. Vertex AI embeds governance tools and ready‑made deployment patterns to close this infrastructure gap. The platform supplies a Model Garden, an Agent Engine, a Governance Framework, and optimization utilities that let enterprises pick model variants tuned for different frontier mixes. These features reduce risk and cost while preserving required intelligence. Customers such as Shopify and Thomson Reuters already run specialized applications on the stack. Google’s control of data centers, custom TPUs, and the full software stack enables simultaneous improvements in intelligence, latency, and expense—advantages few rivals can match. Organizations are now urged to evaluate AI solutions across all three frontiers rather than chasing sheer capability. This balanced view drives specialized model families and more prudent investment choices.
