Is Russia’s return to the dollar a hidden bullish signal for Bitcoin?

Geopolitical tensions and risk aversion have pressured markets, erasing $120 billion recently. Bitcoin (BTC) fell 1.2%, while gold and the S&P 500 also declined. A Bloomberg report suggested Russia may be shifting back to using the U.S. dollar for settlements, potentially strengthening the DXY. A stronger dollar could make bonds more attractive, reducing Bitcoin's appeal as a risk asset. However, sentiment, rather than technical structure, appears to be driving Bitcoin's price. Despite steady accumulation by large holders near the $60k support level, institutional demand remains fragile with continued ETF outflows. A potential U.S.-Russia economic partnership could improve market sentiment, which may prove more influential for Bitcoin's trajectory than chart patterns.

a16z Crypto Founder: Web3's WhatsApp Moment Has Arrived

Chris Dixon, a general partner at a16z Crypto, argues that stablecoins are ushering in Web3's "WhatsApp moment" by revolutionizing global payments, similar to how messaging apps eliminated SMS costs. These dollar-pegged cryptocurrencies processed over $12 trillion in transactions last year (excluding non-human activity), nearing Visa's volume but at a fraction of the cost. Stablecoins are making financial transactions nearly free, fast, and programmable, embedding the internet's openness into finance. While currently used mostly in crypto-native and global commerce, adoption is expanding as integration with traditional finance improves. Major companies like Stripe, Fidelity, and SpaceX are already using them to cut fees, facilitate cross-border payroll, and operate in regions with fragile banking systems. Importantly, stablecoins are reinforcing the dollar's dominance, with issuers like Circle and Tether now holding nearly $140 billion in U.S. Treasuries, potentially becoming top holders. With clear regulations, such as the proposed Clarity Act, stablecoins could form the backbone of a new, open global financial system.

Fed’s March rate cut could push the U.S. dollar down 10% – Is crypto at risk?

The U.S. dollar (DXY) has been declining, falling 9.4% in 2025 and another 1.4% in early 2026, returning to 2022 levels—a year marked by a 65% crypto market crash. This year, crypto has already dropped 24%, reflecting investor caution tied to the dollar's performance. Expectations of a March Fed rate cut have risen, with probability increasing to 21.2%, potentially driving the DXY down another 10%. While a weaker dollar typically benefits risk assets like crypto, record U.S. debt payments and China's Treasury sell-offs are creating liquidity stress. These factors may offset positive effects of rate cuts, posing headwinds for crypto's H2 rally despite potential dollar weakness.

CEA Chair Stephen Miran Resigns, Expresses Support for Rate Cuts as Crypto Prices Plunge

Stephen Miran, Chair of the Council of Economic Advisers (CEA), has resigned from his White House position. His departure, described as non-political, follows his earlier commitment to a short tenure. Miran expressed support for interest rate cuts in 2026, aligning with President Trump's stance, citing current monetary policy as "too tight" despite inflation being above the 2% target. Meanwhile, cryptocurrency prices have significantly declined, with the total market cap dropping nearly 2% to $2.59 trillion. Bitcoin fell 2.79%, and other major tokens like ETH and BNB also saw losses. This downturn coincides with market uncertainty from conflicting signals on future rate cuts, as the Federal Reserve appears less inclined to reduce rates. Billionaire investor Ken Griffin attributed the US dollar's recent loss in value to volatile fiscal policy and rate cut expectations. He welcomed the appointment of the new Fed Chair, Kevin Warsh, who supports rate cuts, which could potentially boost investor appetite for risky assets like cryptocurrencies.

Matrixport Research: Bitcoin Falls into Bear Market Territory, Could a Weakening Dollar Become the Next Support?

Bitcoin has entered a bearish phase, trading below its 21-week moving average, amid policy uncertainty from the U.S. midterm elections and its typical four-year cycle pressures. While structural weakness persists, a weakening U.S. dollar and ongoing reflation narrative could provide medium-term support for risk assets, including Bitcoin. The October 10 flash crash exacerbated market fragility, widening arbitrage gaps and reducing liquidity. Notably, realized losses were largely absorbed by speculative retail investors—particularly on platforms like Hyperliquid—rather than institutional players. Macro conditions show tolerance for a weaker dollar, which historically benefits Bitcoin. However, risk appetite is cooling: stablecoin growth has slowed, retail interest remains low, and quantum computing concerns continue to dampen Bitcoin’s safe-haven narrative. Although the dollar’s 14-year bullish trend has broken—a positive long-term signal—Bitcoin’s price action remains weak, with rallies being met with selling. A more bullish outlook requires clearer technical and capital flow confirmations.

Matrixport Research: Bitcoin Falls into Bear Market Territory, Will a Weakening Dollar Become the Next Support?

Matrixport Research: Bitcoin has entered a bear market territory, trading below its 21-week moving average, a key technical signal. While structural weakness persists, a weakening US dollar could become a potential support factor. The recent sell-off, particularly the flash crash on October 10, 2025, was largely driven by speculative retail traders rather than institutional players. Macro narratives around reflation remain, and a softer dollar historically supports Bitcoin. However, risk appetite is cooling, as stablecoin supply growth has slowed and retail interest remains subdued. Although the long-term dollar downtrend may eventually benefit Bitcoin, the current price structure remains weak, with rallies being met with selling pressure. A more constructive view is emerging, but a definitive bullish stance requires further confirmation from technical and capital flow indicators.

THIS is the stablecoin power angle that nobody is talking about

Dollar-backed stablecoins are increasingly serving as a tool for the U.S. to extend its monetary influence abroad without physically moving dollars overseas, according to a Rabobank report. When foreign entities demand dollar stablecoins, U.S. issuers convert this demand into Treasury bill purchases, helping fund U.S. deficits at lower rates while digital tokens circulate internationally. This mechanism allows dollars to remain within the U.S. financial system while still facilitating global trade. Non-USD stablecoins are also gaining traction, with their supply surging 260% over the past year to a combined market cap of $1.55 billion, though they remain small compared to dollar-pegged alternatives. A key application driving adoption is crypto-backed payment cards, which have grown into an $18 billion market. Monthly transaction volumes have increased from $100 million in early 2023 to over $1.5 billion, growing at an annual rate exceeding 100%. These cards operate on top of traditional networks like Visa and Mastercard, using stablecoins to settle transactions in the background while maintaining a familiar user experience. In summary, dollar-backed stablecoins are expanding U.S. monetary power digitally without exporting physical dollars, while crypto payment infrastructure accelerates their real-world use.
