ETF inflows and continued corporate buying are gradually reshaping Bitcoin’s ownership structure, Bernstein analysts say. Bitcoin’s recent rebound reflects a strengthening base of long-term holders as ETF inflows and corporate treasury buying reshape the asset’s ownership structure, Bernstein said in a Monday research note shared with Cointelegraph. Bernstein said Bitcoin outperformed gold and major equity indexes over the past week despite heightened conflict in the Middle East, with Bitcoin (BTC) up around 7% and Ether (ETH) up about 9% over the period. Analysts attributed the shift partly to continued US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) inflows and the steady accumulation of corporate buyers such as Strategy, which they say are gradually strengthening Bitcoin’s long-term holder base, contributing to a more stable market structure.

Australia is moving closer to a new licensing regime that would bring crypto exchanges and tokenization platforms into the Australian Financial Services Licence regime. Australia’s Senate Economics Legislation Committee has backed a bill that would require crypto exchanges and tokenization platforms to comply with the country’s existing financial services regime, recommending that the Corporations Amendment (Digital Assets Framework) Bill 2025 be passed.  The move on March 16 brings Australia a step closer to a bespoke licensing framework for “digital asset platforms” (DAPs) and “tokenised custody platforms” (TCPs), aimed at closing gaps in oversight of platforms that hold customer assets following the collapses of high‑profile digital asset businesses, such as FTX. The bill, first introduced by Assistant Treasurer and Financial Services Minister Daniel Mulino in November 2025, would treat DAPs and TCPs as financial products under the Corporations Act and Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC...

A new debate has emerged over whether a continued shift by Bitcoin miners toward artificial intelligence could impact the network’s security and its role as a store of value. While some argue that miners leaving the network would leave it more susceptible to a “51% attack,” others argue it will simply trigger the Bitcoin network to rebalance itself as designed, making it enticing for miners again. “AI has killed Bitcoin forever,” crypto trader Ran Neuner said on Sunday, arguing that it has become Bitcoin mining’s biggest competitor because both industries compete for electricity.

The regulator filed for dismissal of its case against BitClout founder Nader Al-Naji, after “reassessment of the evidentiary record." The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has dropped a two-year-long case against the founder of the blockchain-based social media platform BitClout, Nader Al-Naji.  In the joint dismissal stipulation filed in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York on Thursday, the SEC cited the crypto task force, which was tasked with developing a regulatory framework for crypto in January 2025, and a “reassessment of the evidentiary record” as the basis for dismissal. The regulator cautioned that this case outcome doesn’t necessarily mean other similar enforcement actions will receive the same treatment.  “The Commission’s decision to exercise its discretion and seek dismissal of this litigation is based on the particular facts and circumstances of this case and does not necessarily reflect the Commission’s position on any other case,” it said.

Australia’s securities regulator said two-thirds of Gen Z are using social media to make decisions about their financial future, leading to “riskier” financial decisions.  Australia’s financial regulator has urged young investors not to rely on social media influencers and artificial intelligence chatbots to make financial decisions, according to a study that also found that one in four “Gen Zs” invest in crypto. The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) posted the results of a survey on Sunday, finding that Gen Z has high levels of trust in “often unreliable sources,” which has contributed to riskier financial decisions. “Moneysmart’s Gen Z study found that while Gen Z has a strong appetite for reputable and trustworthy financial content, many struggle to find it – and their search often leads them to sources designed for engagement rather than accuracy,” ASIC said.  Read more
