Bitcoin’s attempts to hold rallies above the $70,000 to $75,000 range continue as ETF demand limps along, US treasury yields rise and traders take profit as BTC price hits overhead resistance. Establishing a strong Bitcoin (BTC) uptrend in 2026 remains a challenge, as exchange-traded fund (ETF) flows have shown limited growth since peaking above $60 billion in 2025. At the same time, inflows to the gold ETF also dropped by nearly 25% in Q1 and the lack of a capital rotation into BTC signals muted institutional demand. A recent report from Ecoinometrics shows a clear shift in the demand and persistence of Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) flows. Before the October 2025 price peak for BTC, ETF inflows often came in extended streaks, including a 15-day run of $4.4 billion in June 2025, which helped sustain upside momentum. Read more

Not all Bitcoin faces the same level of risk from quantum computing. Dormant wallets with exposed public keys could be the first targets. The common narrative surrounding the impact of quantum computing on Bitcoin focuses on a doomsday scenario in which the entire network collapses at once. However, this perspective overlooks a critical distinction in how the risk is actually distributed. Bitcoin's quantum vulnerability is not a blanket threat. It is concentrated in dormant addresses with exposed public keys. This includes many of the oldest coins from the “Satoshi era” and lost wallets. While modern Bitcoin (BTC) addresses use stronger security layers, these legacy holdings could become the primary targets of the first generation of powerful quantum machines. These wallets offer attackers time, scale and minimal resistance. That combination makes them the most likely starting point for any future quantum-driven disruption. Read more

Mining Bitcoin on a desktop in 2026 may sound simple, but is it profitable? Do rising network difficulty and energy costs mean the end of PCs as Bitcoin mining equipment? Bitcoin mining began in 2009 as a hobby-friendly activity where users could earn BTC using CPUs and later GPUs. By 2026, the landscape has shifted entirely to industrial-scale operations dominated by specialized ASIC hardware. Modern Bitcoin mining runs at roughly 1 zettahash per second, with network difficulty reaching a record 144.4 trillion in February 2026. This makes it virtually impossible for standard PCs to compete meaningfully. Even when joining mining pools, a home PC’s contribution is so small that payouts amount to negligible fractions of a cent per day, while electricity costs, hardware wear, cooling and fees continue to accumulate.

Crypto markets spent the week chasing green, but Ether’s rally toward $2,500 might hit significant setbacks. Cointelegraph explains why.

Ether reserves held on exchanges fell to a new multi-year low as ETH price struggles to trade above $2,000. Will the supply crunch benefit bulls or bears? The balance of Ether (ETH) held on exchanges has slid to a multiyear low, with more than 31 million ETH leaving centralized exchanges in February, marking the largest monthly withdrawal since November.  While the ETH price remained near $2,000, derivatives data shows a split between small buyers and larger sellers, raising the question of how the price may respond if demand becomes uniform across both retail and whale wallets.  Crypto analyst Arab Chain said that more than 31.6 million ETH left major exchanges in February, the highest monthly outflow since November. Binance led with roughly 14.45 million ETH withdrawn, nearly half of the total. OKX followed with about 3.83 million ETH, and Kraken recorded close to 1.04 million ETH. Read more

Vitalik Buterin is shifting focus toward base layer scalability and ZK-EVM to ensure long-term onchain efficiency and security. Read more

Bitcoin trades below most holders’ cost basis, but a rally above $74,500 could change everything. Can the bulls pull it off? Bitcoin (BTC) has rebounded 7.45% over the past two days after dropping to $62,400 on Tuesday, below a key onchain price support. Despite the bounce, holders who bought six months to two years ago remain at an average cost of $74,500, a level that now stands as a potential inflection point. As BTC moves higher, the concentration of supply around $74,500 stands as a key test for the current trend; a decisive reclaim of that level may signal demand and a shift in short-term market structure. Bitcoin’s realized price tracks the average onchain acquisition cost for a given UTXO age band. For coins aged 18 to 24 months, that level stands near $64,200. Read more

Ethereum onchain data and a bear pennant on the daily chart suggest that bears may target the $1,100 level. Would a dip to that zone represent a generational buy opportunity? Ether (ETH) price printed a bear pennant on the daily chart, a technical chart formation associated with strong downward momentum. This weakening technical setup and declining network activity may signal the continuation of ETH’s bear trend and possibly send the altcoin’s price to $1,100. A bear pennant pattern is a bearish setup that forms after the price consolidates inside an up-sloping triangle following a sharp price drop. The pennant will resolve once the price breaks below the lower trend line of the pennant at $1,950. If this happens, the ETH/USD pair could drop by as much as the previous downtrend’s height. This places the measured target for ETH price at $1,100, down 43% from the current price. Read more

Bitcoin price crumbled back toward its 2026 low as a lack of fresh capital inflows, weak investor sentiment, and rising selling in spot markets chipped away at the $66,000 level. Bitcoin (BTC) has now retraced for three straight days, slipping below $66,000 during the New York session on Wednesday. The decline came after a failed push above $70,000, as weak buying interest allowed sellers to maintain control. Onchain data suggest that the pullback is possibly driven by spot-led selling on Binance, while the lack of a Coinbase premium during the US market session signals muted participation from US investors. Key takeaways: Read more
