We’ve Turned A Generation of Bitcoiners Into Digital Goldbugs Bitcoin is a technology. It is not some force of the universe, some natural element or mineral that was “discovered” floating out in the ether. It is a technology. Technologies are created by human beings, not discovered. They are designed. That design has intent, elements of it are made specifically in a way to facilitate that intent. The tolerances of what a technology can or cannot handle are a result of those design decisions, which are in turn a result of the intent. https://bitcoinmagazine.com/featured/weve-turned-a-generation-of-bitcoiners-into-digital-goldbugs

Biden Policies to Trump Era: Financial Analyst Sees Recession as Economic ‘Cleansing’ In a recent report, financial analyst Ed Dowd, founding partner of investment firm Phinance Technologies, warns of a “short but deep” U.S. recession in 2025, citing policy reversals, immigration reductions, and a government crackdown on fraud as key drivers. In his report, “Danger of Deep Worldwide Recession in 2025,” Dowd asserts that economic conditions artificially inflated under the Biden administration will unravel, necessitating a restructuring phase under potential Trump-era policies. https://news.bitcoin.com/biden-policies-to-trump-era-financial-analyst-sees-recession-as-economic-cleansing/

Solana Long-Term Holders In Fear — Time To Buy The Dip? The price action of Solana was quite underwhelming over the past week, mirroring the worsening climate of the altcoin market. Interestingly, the launch of the SOL futures exchange-traded funds (ETFs) during the week did very little to jolt the altcoin’s price back to life. Following the severe price downturn that hit the market, including the Solana token, investors were left wondering when it was best to “buy the dip.” The latest on-chain observation suggests that it might finally be time for investors to get back into the SOL market. https://bitcoinist.com/solana-long-term-holder-in-fear-time-to-buy-the-dip/

Solana CME futures volumes reach $12.1M: Was the launch a dud, or is more to come? Solana’s CME futures trading volume was well below the BTC and ETH day one launches, but analysts are reluctant to label it a failure. Throughout the current bull market, spot ETF approvals and CME futures contract launches have consistently boosted investor sentiment and put wind behind the sails of various cryptocurrencies. Comparing the normalized volumes adjusted for the market cap differences of BTC, ETH and SOL on their first CME futures trading day provides a fairer comparative analysis. Normalized volume measures trading activity relative to a crypto asset’s market cap, offering a transparent evaluation across different cryptocurrencies. This metric is valuable since it allows an understanding of institutional engagement with respect to a crypto asset’s market cap. https://cointelegraph.com/news/solana-cme-futures-volumes-reach-12-1-m-was-the-launch-a-dud-or-is-more-to-come

Solana retracts video ad amid backlash from crypto community Solana posted the ad on social media on Monday but deleted it a few hours later when it faced backlash online. The video, however, continues to circulate on X. The ad featured content deemed insensitive towards gender issues, with some claiming that the ad was anti-queer. In the video, an individual named "America" appears to undergo therapy for "rational thinking syndrome," with the therapist wanting the individual to come up with a "new gender" or "focus on pronouns." "I will lead the world in permissionless tech, build onchain and reclaim my place as the beacon of innovation," the individual said. "I want to invent technologies, not genders." https://www.theblock.co/post/346709/solana-retracts-video-ad-amid-backlash-from-crypto-community

Pakistan Officially Launches Crypto Council for Regulations The Pakistani government has officially taken a concrete step toward regulating and utilizing digital assets by forming the Pakistan Crypto Council (PCC). Announced on March 15, 2025, the ruling represents a significant change in the national policy on blockchain and cryptocurrency. As CNF has reported, the plan to establish the PCC was first proposed in February 2025. The move was not just a domestic initiative, but was also driven by recommendations from the International Monetary Fund (IMF). To increase state income, the IMF has long urged Pakistan to widen its tax base, including the digital assets industry. https://www.crypto-news-flash.com/pakistan-officially-launches-crypto-council-for-regulations

Arthur Hayes Predicts Bitcoin Surge To $250,000 By Year-End, Says Current Downturn Is Clearing Out Deadwood: 'Short-Term Pain' Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, has projected a significant increase in Bitcoin’s value, anticipating it will reach $250,000 by the close of the year. What Happened: Hayes suggests that the current downturn in the crypto market is a temporary setback, part of a natural cycle. In a recent interview, Hayes explained that the market is experiencing a correction after Bitcoin’s surge from $20,000 to $110,000. "This thing is a short-term pain. We're clearing out the deadwood. We had a great run from $20,000 to $110,000 on Bitcoin, essentially FTX low until TRUMP coin, and now we got a 30% correction. It's pretty normal for a bull market," he said. https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44345006/arthur-hayes-predicts-bitcoin-surge-to-250000-by-year-end-says-current-downturn-is-clearing-out-deadwood-short-te

Solana price in danger zone: FTX's $23M SOL liquidation offsets US CPI and PPI gains Solana’s price is dipping 5% on Thursday as bears forced another breakdown below the critical $125 support. The timing of the decline coincided with large amounts of SOL being unstaked in preparation for FTX creditor payouts, reinforcing bearish sentiment. Solana’s price action over the past 24 hours has been underwhelming. Despite a 0.26% increase in the aggregate crypto market cap on Thursday, Solana, Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) were among the top-ranked assets with mild losses. The chart above illustrates how SOL initially rallied 17.3% on Wednesday, reclaiming ground above $131 before sentiment suddenly turned bearish, triggering a sharp pullback. https://www.fxstreet.com/cryptocurrencies/news/solana-price-in-danger-zone-ftxs-23m-sol-liquidation-offsets-us-cpi-and-ppi-gains-202503131734

These documents show that Ripple executives and staff actively discussed promoting the narrative that Bitcoin is “controlled by China,” a claim often referred to as “China FUD” (Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt). One of the cited emails, labeled “4) China + Bitcoin,” contains the following directive: “This feels similar to what Brad and [Redacted] already say publicly about Bitcoin being run by China.” https://bitcoinist.com/internal-ripple-emails-expose-anti-bitcoin-campaign/
