Bitcoin shed about 245,000 wallet holders over five days, marking the quickest contraction in nearly two years and drawing comparisons to a similar wallet-exit phase in summer 2024. BTC has since fallen back under $80,000 after peaking near $83,000, while $80,300 is cited as a key cost-basis level for recent buyers amid price pressure around $79,500.

Solana's SOL token climbed back above the key $93 resistance level on March 18, which some analysts now view as a new structural floor. They see this move as potentially triggering a short squeeze, with price targets around $103 and $113 if the level holds, despite SOL still trading far below its all-time high.

On March 17, Bitcoin briefly reached $76,000, its highest value since early February, while capital continued flowing into U.S. spot ETFs. Analyst Axel Adler Jr. reported that ETF holders currently carry an average unrealized loss of $5,174, with the group’s realized price at $79,962 and total ETF balances up by about 26,600 BTC. He views the $80,000 region as a key resistance zone where increased selling from break-even investors could test the strength of renewed institutional demand.

On March 16, Bitcoin's Integrated Market Index climbed to 96, its highest level in 30 days, after roughly 178 hours in a bearish phase that began on February 15. Analyst Axel Adler Jr.'s model now places BTC's 30-day fair value near $70,000 while spot prices briefly moved above $74,000, signaling renewed buying pressure in both futures flows and open interest.

Analysis covering the 90 days before and after the December 3 Ethereum Fusaka upgrade shows a sharp rise in address poisoning scams and dust transfers, especially in stablecoins. USDT transfers under $0.01 jumped 612% to 29.9 million, while USDC, ETH, and DAI dust activity also climbed, enabling large-scale attacks that have already caused tens of millions of dollars in losses. Researchers say lower fees now allow attackers to bombard high-value wallets with spoofed transactions, and recommend always checking full addresses instead of copying from history.

Blockchain security firm Nominis reports that crypto attack losses dropped from $385 million in January to $49.3 million in February, with a single Step Finance incident on Solana accounting for over 60% of the damage. The study indicates that attackers are increasingly targeting users through phishing, address poisoning and malicious approvals, rather than focusing solely on protocol code vulnerabilities.

Donald Trump has scheduled an exclusive Mar-a-Lago gala and conference for leading Official Trump (TRUMP) meme coin holders in April 2026, sparking a sharp market reaction. After touching a new all-time low of $2.73 on March 12, the token briefly spiked above $4.5 and later hovered near $4, marking strong short-term gains despite still being far below its January 2025 peak.

BlackRock's iShares Staked Ethereum Trust ETF (ETHB) began trading yesterday and generated about $15.5 million in first-day volume, opening with just over $100 million in assets. The fund charges a 0.25% management fee, temporarily reduced to 0.12% for its first year until assets reach $2.5 billion, and distributes staking rewards as monthly dividends rather than adding them to NAV.

Bitcoin is trading close to $70,000 while on-chain data shows exchange reserves have fallen by about 204,000 BTC since the start of the year and long-term whales are barely moving coins. Short-term holders are selling at a loss and newer whales remain underwater, a divergence analysts say could tighten supply and influence whether the next phase is bullish or bearish.
