BlackRock Rejects Exotic Crypto ETFs, Focuses on Bitcoin and Ethereum Funds

BlackRock will not launch complex or "exotic" cryptocurrency ETFs and is focusing its digital asset strategy primarily on Bitcoin and Ethereum products, according to Robert Mitchnick, the firm's head of digital assets. He stated that investor interest is currently concentrated on these two major cryptocurrencies, and the company will take a cautious, disciplined approach to expanding its offerings. While monitoring other digital assets for maturity and demand, BlackRock emphasizes a discerning selection process for its iShares ETFs. The asset manager recently launched the iShares Staked Ethereum Trust ETF, which saw significant trading volume and inflows. This follows the successful introduction of its Bitcoin and Ethereum Trust ETFs, which have attracted substantial investor capital. Mitchnick noted that Bitcoin ETF investors are typically long-term holders who accumulate on price dips. BlackRock is also developing new products like the Bitcoin Premium Income ETF, which uses options strategies to generate yield, though it may limit upside potential. The firm remains focused on providing institutional investors with core crypto investment opportunities.

World Liberty Financial Offers ‘Guaranteed Direct Access’ For $5M Token Lockup

World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a DeFi venture linked to the Trump family, has introduced a new "Super Node" program requiring investors to lock $5 million worth of tokens for six months. In return, participants receive "guaranteed direct access" to certain WLFI team members and gain voting rights in governance matters. Although Eric Trump, Donald Trump Jr., and Barron Trump are listed as part of the supporting team, they will not be included in the direct access offering. The proposal passed with 99% approval from 1,786 votes. Super Nodes must stake 50 million WLFI tokens and will earn a 2% yield in tokens for participating in at least two votes. This move shifts from earlier promises of democratized access by restricting voting rights to large stakeholders. Separately, Trump will host another exclusive dinner for TRUMP memecoin holders. WLFI’s token price rose nearly 6% to $0.1079 amid a broader crypto market recovery.

Crypto In Spotlight As OFAC Targets North Korean IT Worker Network

The U.S. Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctioned six individuals and two entities on March 12 for their involvement in North Korean IT worker schemes that generated nearly $800 million in 2024 for the country’s weapons programs. The action highlights the central role of cryptocurrency in moving illicit funds across borders. OFAC and Chainalysis detailed a sophisticated operation involving fake identities, corporate deception, and crypto transactions to evade sanctions. One facilitator, Nguyen Quang Viet, converted $2.5 million into crypto for North Koreans. The designations targeted networks across the DPRK, Vietnam, Laos, and Spain, with 21 crypto addresses identified on Ethereum, Tron, and Bitcoin. This enforcement reflects growing efforts to disrupt North Korea’s crypto-related revenue streams, which reached over $2 billion in stolen funds in 2025.

HSBC, Standard Chartered To Receive First Stablecoin Licenses In Hong Kong – Report

Hong Kong is expected to issue its first stablecoin licenses within two weeks, with HSBC and Standard Chartered reportedly among the first recipients. The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) is prioritizing institutions already authorized to issue banknotes, favoring them for their strong capital base and ability to ensure safety and adoption. The Stablecoins Ordinance, enacted last August, requires any issuer of fiat-referenced stablecoins, especially HKD-denominated tokens, to obtain a license. Standard Chartered, in a joint venture with Animoca Brands and HKT, plans to issue an HKD-pegged stablecoin and has participated in the HKMA’s sandbox program. HSBC, though not part of the sandbox, has engaged with digital asset players and focused on tokenization projects. The move comes as China tightens restrictions on virtual assets and tokenization domestically, positioning Hong Kong as a regulated testing ground for financial innovation and a gateway for Chinese assets on the blockchain.

Smart Money Still Selling Ethereum? Futures CVD Shows $5.7B Bearish Pressure

Ethereum is testing key resistance levels as the broader crypto market shows signs of stabilization. Despite a slight daily advantage for buyers in futures, with a positive Taker Delta of $7.15 million, the broader 90-day Smart Money CVD remains deeply negative at -$5.71 billion. This indicates sustained aggressive selling pressure has dominated over the past three months. However, analysts note that large buyers may be absorbing this selling through limit orders, potentially setting the stage for a future momentum shift if the pressure subsides.

Federal Court Ends Custodia Bank Bid for Federal Reserve Master Account

A U.S. federal appeals court has rejected Custodia Bank's bid to obtain a master account with the Federal Reserve, ending a five-year legal battle. The court upheld the Federal Reserve's authority to deny access to its payment systems, emphasizing that reserve banks have discretion to assess risks before granting accounts. Custodia, a digital asset-focused bank, argued that federal law entitled it to an account, but the court disagreed. The ruling reinforces the Fed's role as gatekeeper to the national payment infrastructure. A dissenting judge warned that denying master account access can be a "death sentence" for banks. The decision comes amid broader efforts by crypto firms to access traditional financial systems.

Analysis: HYPE at $37 Current Price, Still Undervalued in a Bear Market

Analysis: HYPE at $37 is undervalued even in a bear market. Hyperliquid's 2025 revenue is 15% of CME's, yet its market cap is only 10% of CME's. The market is not pricing in the trillion-dollar TAM potential from HIP-3, which enables permissionless perpetual contracts for any asset. The Iran war weekend served as a stress test, with Hyperliquid's oil futures providing real-time global pricing while CME was closed. A four-scenario DCF model shows that even in a bear case (0.01% capture of the $1.74T daily TAM), HYPE's implied price is $60—well above the current $37. This suggests the base exchange business alone is undervalued. The base case (0.10% capture) implies $72, and the bull case (0.50% capture) implies $124. HIP-3 already contributes ~10% of fees just five months after launch. Hyperliquid's liquidity depth, execution quality, and lack of US-centric regulatory dependency strengthen its position. With a P/S ratio of 10-13x vs. traditional exchanges at 20-25x, HYPE is poised for re-rating as it captures migrating traditional finance volume.

Vitalik Buterin’s SHIB Gift Backfires? Warns Of “Authoritarian” AI Push From A Nonprofit

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has publicly distanced himself from the Future of Life Institute (FLI), an AI-safety nonprofit he supported in 2021 with a substantial SHIB token donation. Buterin clarified that FLI initially presented a broad roadmap focused on reducing existential risks from AI, bio, and nuclear threats with a pro-science, pro-peace approach. However, he now criticizes the organization for pivoting toward large-scale political advocacy, which he views as authoritarian and fragile. Buterin expressed concern that FLI’s current approach—such as pushing for restrictive AI safeguards and potential open-source bans—could backfire and lead to centralized control. Despite disagreements, he acknowledged alignment with FLI’s recent "Pro-human AI declaration." The situation highlights broader concerns about crypto-funded philanthropy, transparency, and the unintended consequences of large donations influencing AI governance.

Is Bitcoin Undervalued? MVRV Ratio Mirrors Post-FTX Stress Levels

Bitcoin is struggling to break above the $72,000 resistance level amid ongoing market uncertainty. Analysis by CryptoQuant highlights a significant drop in Bitcoin’s 365-day MVRV ratio—a key on-chain metric comparing market cap to realized value—to levels last seen after the FTX collapse in late 2022. Historically, such depressed MVRV readings have often preceded strong price recoveries, as was the case when Bitcoin rallied 67% in the three months following the FTX crash. While current conditions differ due to macroeconomic factors like high interest rates and increased institutional participation via ETFs, the compressed MVRV suggests Bitcoin may be undervalued and could signal a potential accumulation phase for long-term investors.
