Crypto Winter Is Coming, Says CoinGecko

The cryptocurrency market extended its decline in Q1 2026, transitioning into what CoinGecko describes as a sustained “crypto winter,” with total market capitalization falling 20.4% to $2.4 trillion.

According to the recent report, the $622 billion contraction marks a second consecutive quarterly decline, leaving the market roughly 45% below its October 2025 peak.

Much of the downturn occurred between mid-January and early February, coinciding with the nomination of Kevin Warsh as the next Federal Reserve Chair, signaling a potentially more hawkish monetary policy environment.

Market decline meets flight to stability

While the broader market weakened, stablecoins showed resilience. Total stablecoin market capitalization rose slightly by $1.6 billion to $309.9 billion, reinforcing their role as a liquidity anchor during periods of volatility.

Tether, however, recorded its first notable supply decline since Q2 2022, falling 1.6% to $184.1 billion, though it maintained a dominant 59% market share.

The divergence highlights a broader shift in capital allocation, with investors moving toward lower-risk assets while reducing exposure to more volatile segments of the market.

In terms of trading activity, Solana remained the leading chain for spot trading during the quarter, holding a 30.6% share despite a 26.5% drop in volume.

However, momentum shifted toward Ethereum in March, with Ethereum overtaking Solana to capture a 27% share compared to Solana’s 26%.

XRP May Drop Further, But Here's What Truly Matters: Black Swan Capitalist Founder Black Swan Capitalist Founder Versan Aljarrah challenges the market's fixation on short-term XRP price predictions.

In a detailed X post, he argues that investors are asking the wrong question about XRP's price action. Rather than focusing on whether XRP will drop further in the short term, he urges investors to analyze liquidity cycles, macroeconomic forces, and XRP's long-term role in financial infrastructure.

Quantum computing has long served as Bitcoin’s most cinematic threat. It has the right ingredients for a high-drama warning, strange machines, broken cryptography, and the possibility of a future rewrite of digital trust.

Yet the greater danger facing Bitcoin today looks far more ordinary and far more commercial. It is artificial intelligence, and the pressure point is electricity.

That pressure is already visible. As of today, Bitcoin is trading at $77,845 on CryptoSlate, up 5% over 24 hours, 6.7% over seven days, and 9.2% over 30 days.

Price has recovered over the past month, but the mining side of the network is still operating under tighter economics than the market’s casual surface suggests.

In its Q1 2026 mining report, CoinShares said the weighted average cash cost to produce one Bitcoin among publicly listed miners rose to about $79,995 in Q4 2025. The same report said the current hashprice around $30 per petahash per day leaves an estimated 15% to 20% of the global fleet underwater if power costs are high enough.

That is where AI enters the picture with a much sharper edge than quantum. Quantum remains a serious long-term cryptographic issue. NIST has already finalized its first post-quantum standards because the migration clock is real, and IBM’s roadmap targets the first large-scale fault-tolerant quantum computer by 2029.

US Markets Rise Alongside Crypto After Trump Post—Coincidence or Intentional?
U.S. financial markets surged sharply after a geopolitical update aligned with a high-profile social media post, raising fresh questions about timing and influence. Stocks rallied, and oil prices dropped after news spread that Iran had reopened a critical shipping route.
Shortly after, Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that Iran had fully opened the Strait of Hormuz and enabled full passage. The sequence of events fueled speculation about whether the post amplified market momentum or simply echoed breaking developments already in motion.
Markets Rally as Oil Slides
Major U.S. indexes climbed strongly following the announcement. The Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped 2.0%, adding nearly 1,000 points. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 gained 1.1%, and the Nasdaq rose 1.2%, both hitting fresh all-time highs.

Strategy looks to boost preferred stock STRC's dividend payments to semi-monthly
If approved by shareholders, STRC would pay a dividend twice per month.

STRC is a perpetual preferred stock designed to trade near a $100 par value while paying a variable cash dividend, currently at an annualized rate of 11.5%.
Bitcoin treasury firm Strategy Inc. (MSTR) is proposing to update the dividend payment schedule for its STRC preferred stock, according to an announcement on Friday.

If approved by shareholders, Strategy’s Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock (STRC) would shift from paying dividends once a month to twice a month. The company states that the change could "lead to reduced reinvestment lag, enhanced liquidity, market efficiency, and increased price stability."

STRC is a perpetual preferred stock designed to trade near a $100 par value while paying a variable cash dividend, currently at an annualized rate of 11.5%. The dividend rate adjusts monthly in an effort to encourage trading close to par and minimize volatility.

Strategy has issued a suite of preferred stocks that rank above its common stock, MSTR. These instruments — including STRF (Strife), STRE (Stream), STRK (Strike), and STRD (Stride), and STRC (Stretch) — have helped the company raise billions of dollars to support its bitcoin acquisition strategy.

Unlike STRC, Strategy’s other preferred stocks have fixed dividend rates. Earlier this week, STRC recorded a $1.1 billion trading day, up nearly 50% from its previous high.

According to the statement, Strategy will hold an annual meeting on June 8 when the voting on the proposal Stretch update closes. The first record date under the new semi-monthly schedule, if approved, is June 30, with the first payment expected July 15.

XRP Mimics 2017 Fractal, Trader Predicts Price in 90 Days
Double-digit price predictions for XRP are back in the spotlight as some analysts suggest the asset may be repeating its historic 2017 price pattern.


The outlook has raised expectations of a dramatic breakout in the coming months, as the coin surged 8% over the past week. Notably, XRP is trading at $1.44, its highest price in three weeks. Amid the ongoing bullish momentum, market watchers are drawing parallels with historical patterns.

Key Points

XRP mirrors its 2017 fractal, with traders eyeing a potential breakout toward $32 in 90 days.

The coin is up 8% weekly, trading near $1.44, its highest level in three weeks.

Analyst CryptoCupra says XRP’s current consolidation pattern resembles its explosive 2017 rally setup.

Skeptics argue past fractal predictions haven’t worked, while XRP must first reclaim $2–$3 resistance.
