Bitfarms said it was impacted by a decline in Bitcoin prices last year. The company is now five months into its pivot from Bitcoin mining to HPC and AI. Bitfarms (BITF) shares climbed 6.6% on Tuesday despite reporting a widened $284.5 million net loss for 2025, driven by a decline in Bitcoin prices and a high cost of revenue, with the company advancing its pivot to AI and high-performance computing. The company’s full-year results statement on Tuesday showed a 72% year-on-year increase in revenue to $229 million. This was outweighed by $248 million in cost of revenue, leading to a gross loss. General and administrative expenses also increased year over year, while the change in fair value of digital assets led to a $50.5 million loss in 2025 compared with a gain of $26 million in 2024. This was partially offset by a $28.2 million realized gain on the sale of digital assets. Read more -

The Crypto Fear and Greed Index remains pinned in the ‘extreme fear’ zone, but Bitcoin’s lengthy consolidation phase above the $60,000 support may be a positive sign. The Crypto Fear and Greed Index currently exhibits “extreme fear” with a reading of 11, and the condition has held for 12 consecutive days. Although there was a brief recovery between March 17 and March 18, the index has stayed in “extreme fear” since Jan. 28. Traders use the index as a contrarian metric for monitoring investor sentiment as it is comprised of volatility, volume, social trend and market momentum data. With that view in mind, in previous bull and bear markets, traders interpreted “extreme fear” readings as dip-buying opportunities, but given how bearish market conditions have been since January, it’s possible that the signal could be invalid.

Futures market activity continues to drive Bitcoin price, while insufficient buy-side spot demand shortens the length of bullish breakouts and pins BTC in a $10,000 range. Bitcoin’s (BTC) price action has been pinned between $60,000 and $70,000 over the past two months as leverage-dominant trading, weak spot market demand, and consistent losses from short-term holders have prevented rallies from sustaining their momentum. Combined, these market events create the current fragile setup, where Bitcoin price stability depends more on futures positioning than fresh capital inflows and this explains why BTC price remains volatile within its current range. According to Wintermute, the perpetual futures market activity continues to outweigh spot participation across the major exchanges. The perp-to-spot volume ratio has climbed to 15 times (15X), pointing to a price control largely by leveraged positioning. The funding rates oscillate between positive and negative without holding a trend, showing a lack of direction... -

Analysts expect Bitcoin’s price consolidation to tilt toward $60,000, but technical charts favor a liquidation rally toward $82,000. Bitcoin’s (BTC) consolidation extended into a fifth week since making a major low at $60,000 on Feb. 6, but the daily chart shows the range tightening as the price swings between its daily highs and lows narrow. Some analysts may view the pattern of higher lows and lower highs as proof of a pending breakout, especially when considering positive developments like the resumption of buying from institutional investors, Morgan Stanley’s announcement of its soon-to-launch spot BTC ETF and a wave of hefty purchases by Strategy, but Bitcoin’s market structure is still in favor of the bears. In a Monday Telegram post, independent market analyst filbfilb described the market read as “still bearish overall on outlook, but the 50 DMA and diagonal resistance are nicely placed to prove that wrong should it be the case.” Read more -

Looking to streamline collateral management, the platform has enabled borrowing and lending against liquid, staked and locked assets within a single custody account. Digital asset infrastructure provider BitGo has launched a financing platform that lets institutional clients borrow and lend against a range of digital assets, including liquid tokens, staked positions and locked holdings, within a single account. The company said the system consolidates borrowing, lending and collateral management into one workflow, replacing processes that have typically required multiple counterparties and manual asset transfers. By introducing portfolio-based lending, BitGo hopes to give clients access to credit against a mix of assets held in custody rather than posting collateral on a per-loan basis. Read more -

Haverhill City Council, following other jurisdictions, is set to consider an ordinance banning crypto ATMs viewed as enabling financial fraud and money laundering. The city council of Haverhill, Massachusetts is set to consider a ban on cryptocurrency ATMs following a proposal for an ordinance introduced on March 17.

The proposal would amend the city code to prohibit cryptocurrency ATMs, an ordinance which received a unanimous 11 votes in the council’s March 17 meeting.

GalaxyOne adds Solana staking with variable rewards and zero-fee incentives, extending institutional validator infrastructure to retail users.

The yield is not fixed and depends on network conditions, validator performance and overall staking participation, meaning actual returns may fluctuate over time. The rollout reflects a broader industry shift toward integrating yield-generating products into retail platforms, allowing users to earn passive income on idle crypto holdings rather than simply holding or trading them.

Stablecoin infrastructure delivers velocity but issuers and exchanges capture the rent. Velocity beats market cap as digital dollars become invisible financial plumbing. Opinion by: Jeff Handler, co-founder at OpenTrade. The tech has been solved. The digital dollars are flowing. In 2026, the only variable left is understanding who actually gets to collect and enjoy the fare. 2025 wasn’t the year stablecoins “went mainstream”, at least not how crypto pundits had envisioned. No specific app that dominated the download charts, nor was there a particular moment when stablecoins suddenly clicked for normies. Instead, by intentional design, digital dollars quietly and efficiently became working capital, nestling neatly into the world’s financial plumbing. Read more -

A Coinbase Institute survey suggests crypto has become the financial starting point for most 16-25-year-olds in the UK, as digital assets become a powerful credibility test for political parties. The United Kingdom’s move to pause political donations in cryptocurrency is colliding with rising digital asset awareness among younger people, with more than 80% of 16- to 25-year-olds now familiar with crypto, according to a new survey shared with Cointelegraph. Research by Coinbase Institute and JL Partners, shared with Cointelegraph, found that crypto, led by Bitcoin (BTC), has overtaken traditional banking products as many young people’s entry point to understanding money, risk and financial opportunity. Just 43% recognize a Stocks & Shares Individual Savings Account and 20% a Help to Buy ISA, reflecting what the report describes as a “crypto first, TradFi second” re-ordering of financial literacy. The findings come as the United Kingdom advances plans for a moratorium on political donations in crypto, highlight... -

The Ethereum Economic Zone promises to stitch fragmented rollups back into a single system, but a similar model struggled to gain traction on Cosmos. Ethereum builders are pushing a new way to unify the ecosystem after years of fragmentation caused by the very networks designed to scale it. On Sunday, veteran Ethereum builder Gnosis and zero-knowledge virtual machine project Zisk unveiled the Ethereum Economic Zone (EEZ), a framework aimed at linking layer-2 rollups more tightly to the base network. The proposal positions Ethereum as the central hub, with Ether (ETH) remaining the gas token and settlement layer. It also introduces a model where smart contracts can interact across mainnet and EEZ rollups with atomic execution. Read more
