Long-term holders, those folks who bought Bitcoin in 2017 and still haven’t sold, have gone full ghost. According to CryptoQuant analyst ‘Darkfost’ on X (where else?), their activity has dipped to levels that make you question if we’re in a bear market or just a really long nap. “This decline in activity reflects a reduction in selling pressure,” they say, which is code for “no one’s eager to throw their coins into the fire, but also no one’s excited to buy.”

DOGE testing 0.618 Fibonacci and value area high confluence. (Think of it as the crypto world’s version of a suspenseful cliffhanger.)

Behold, the legal system’s grand performance! A U.S. federal court, in a fit of judicial whimsy, has ordered the return of 94,000 bitcoins to Bitfinex, a gesture as perplexing as a poet composing an ode to a bank vault. The case, a tangle of plea agreements and legal jargon, sees the exchange reclaim its stolen goods, as if the law itself were a pawn in a game of chess played by gods.

Lo! On the seventh day of March in the year 2026, did the blockchain seers of Arkham spy 175 Bitcoin-nay, $11.85 million in digital gold-scurry from Bhutan’s coffers to a mysterious address! The coins, it seems, took a brief sojourn but stayed put, like a nobleman avoiding a duel.

He advises against the folly of entering long positions at such dizzying heights, for as he astutely points out, the most prudent purchasing opportunities reside in the valleys below. One must ponder the wisdom of chasing after profits like a moth to a flame-only to become singed by the harsh realities of risk.

If you’re into numbers, at raw throughput it clears the Visa and MasterCard benchmarks during their busiest hours. Not my business, but not tiny either.

Markus Infanger, a leader at RippleX, has been explaining that traditional financial systems like SWIFT are designed for sending messages, not actually moving money.

Mike Selig, chairman of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), declared that blockchain-powered prediction markets might just be the panacea for our era’s most pressing ailment: the rampant spread of falsehoods. A veritable alchemist’s dream, where the very fabric of truth is woven through the arcane dance of decentralized ledgers and speculative contracts.

Solana ETFs, it seems, are the toast of the town among institutional investors, while XRP funds content themselves with the rambunctious company of retail traders. A new report from Bloomberg Intelligence analysts James Seyffart and Sharoon Francis reveals this curious dichotomy.

The week unfurled like a tragic opera, with Bitcoin, the indomitable protagonist, reclaiming its throne, while the chorus of altcoins wailed in discord. Spot Bitcoin ETFs, with their $167.03 million in net inflows, reversed the fleeting humiliation of last week’s outflows. Blackrock’s IBIT, ever the opportunist, seized $109.31 million, while Fidelity’s FBTC trailed with $60.09 million, and Vaneck’s HODL, the humble servant, added $4.87 million.
