Oh, and did I mention there’s a massive $14.16 billion Bitcoin options expiry on March 27? Yeah, that’s the same day Trump’s Iran ceasefire deadline hits. Because why not pile on the drama? The max pain level is at $75k, which is roughly 8% above where we are now. So, either we’re in for a wild ride or just another Tuesday in crypto land.
This sale represents a hefty 28% of the company’s Bitcoin treasury. As per Bitcointreasuries.net, MARA holds roughly 38,700 BTC on its balance sheet – a delightful stash worth about $2.6 billion at Thursday’s trading price, which was flirting with $69,000. What a time to be alive!
So, Bitcoin tried to climb the $76K mountain. It slipped. Fell on its digital derrière. And CryptoPatel, ever the pessimist with a chart, says this is a short seller’s dream. Or nightmare, depending on which side of the trade you’re on.
Charles Hoskinson, the creator of Cardano, is very enthusiastic about a new partnership with Monument Bank. He believes this deal is the biggest one yet for Midnight, the platform behind Cardano, and could potentially bring hundreds of millions, or even billions, of dollars worth of assets to the network.
Gold, that once-revered symbol of divine patience, has. . . outran its own destiny, bleeding a staggering 11 billion dollars out of its fabled soft soil. Silver, not even a second, has mirrored this despair. JPMorgan, in its stark prose, has pointed out that while Bitcoin, the hard‑coded sentinel, remains stubbornly afloat, investors favour it over gold-a dangerous, perhaps, confession of humanity’s desire to conquer our own instincts.
Wilson stated at the Digital Asset Summit in New York on Thursday that traditional financial institutions will not publicly record all their trades on a blockchain. He explained that money managers would see this as a breach of their responsibility to clients, as it would reveal their trading strategies to the world.
On the fateful day of March 25, 2026, Visa-yes, that very same Visa which you might find lurking in the dark corners of your wallet-decided to grace the Canton Network with its presence. One cannot help but chuckle at the irony: a titan of the payment industry steps gingerly into a blockchain built for finance, as if it were a delicate ballet rather than a robust digital ledger. Now, banks and financial institutions can access this on-chain payment wonderland without the bother of reconstructing their entire operational edifice. What a relief!
Numbers, those cold sentinels of truth, speak their piece:
In a post that’s more explosive than a troll’s temper, Pumpius claimed SWIFT is quietly whitelabeling the XRP Ledger, as if it’s a knock-off handbag from a market stall. This comes hot on the heels of SWIFT’s announcement that they’re launching 24/7 cross-border payments with over 25 banks, using blockchain technology. Of course, they’re acting like they’ve invented the wheel, when really they’ve just found a fancier cart to hitch it to.
Meanwhile, the futures open interest took a dive, plummeting 3.5% to $108 billion, as funding rates turned negative-because who doesn’t love a little negativity in their lives? Traders, ever the opportunists, increased their short positions, perhaps thinking they were at an all-you-can-eat buffet of despair.
