Fed holds rates steady at 3.5%–3.75% as projections signal slower path to easing

The Federal Reserve maintained interest rates at 3.5%–3.75% on 18 March, signaling that inflation remains too high to justify near-term cuts. Policymakers emphasized that inflation is still above the 2% target despite a solid economy and stable labor market. The Fed's updated economic projections indicate a delayed easing cycle, with PCE inflation expected at 2.7% in 2026 and the federal funds rate around 3.4% the same year. This reinforces a "higher-for-longer" narrative. Geopolitical risks were also noted as a potential source of uncertainty. For crypto markets, the lack of immediate rate cuts may limit liquidity, but the soft-landing narrative remains supportive over the medium term. Markets will now focus on incoming data to gauge the timing of policy easing.

Bitcoin Whale Vs. Retail Activity Now Lags Relative To Altcoins: What This Means

Bitcoin has maintained an upward trajectory after surpassing $70,000, but a key shift in market structure is emerging. According to analytics platform Alphractal, the gap between whale and retail activity in Bitcoin has decreased compared to altcoins. This suggests whales are more inclined to close long positions or open shorts on BTC, while retail investors show increased interest in long positions. This divergence may stem from whales perceiving more downside potential in Bitcoin, whereas altcoins have already declined significantly. If the whale vs. retail metric turns negative, the market could turn bearish. Meanwhile, traders are positioning ahead of the Federal Reserve’s decision, with Bitcoin's reclaim of $70,000 triggering short liquidations and a shift toward long positions, indicating a potential increase in volatility.

Bitcoin longs stack above $73K ahead of FOMC – Is short squeeze coming?

Bitcoin is seeing significant long positions stacked above $73K ahead of the March 18 FOMC meeting, amid expectations of continued upward momentum. Despite broader risk-off sentiment in traditional markets, nearly $400 billion has flowed into crypto in three weeks, driving a 25% BTC rally from its $60K floor. With $1.3 billion in shorts near $80K, a short squeeze could catalyze a breakout. Key factors include the Fed’s likely unchanged rates, Bitcoin’s low MVRV ratio suggesting long-term upside, and renewed buying pressure on major exchanges. Volatility is expected post-FOMC, but strong bid support may help bulls trigger a bear trap and push BTC past $80K.

FTX to distribute $2.2B to creditors as repayments near completion

FTX will distribute approximately $2.2 billion to creditors on March 31, 2026, in its fourth repayment round under Chapter 11. Several creditor classes will reach full or near-full recovery, including U.S. customer claims at 100% and convenience claims at 120%. Creditors must complete KYC, tax documentation, and onboarding with approved partners like BitGo or Kraken to receive payments. Preferred equity holders will receive their first payouts on May 29, 2026. This marks significant progress in FTX's recovery, contrasting initial loss expectations after its 2022 collapse, and may impact market liquidity depending on how recipients deploy the funds.

Crypto Isn’t A Cult: Why Vanity Fair’s ‘True Believers’ Piece Misses The Point

A recent Vanity Fair article portrays the crypto community as a cult of "true believers," depicting participants as naive, decadent, and out-of-touch zealots clinging to a failed dream. The piece uses dramatic photography and mocking captions—such as "the most expensive religion in the world"—to caricature industry figures as extravagant and unserious. The crypto community has pushed back strongly, arguing the article focuses on stereotypical "degenerate" personalities rather than the developers and contributors building real technological infrastructure and value. Critics note that legacy media often ignores the serious, technical side of crypto in favor of sensationalist narratives. Despite the article’s claim that crypto is dead, Bitcoin continues to trade at high values, underscoring the resilience and ongoing activity within the ecosystem. The response highlights a demand for more serious and nuanced coverage of the space.

XRP Holders More Educated Than Bitcoiners? Bank Of International Settlements Report Shares Revelation

A Bank of International Settlements (BIS) report from 2021, as highlighted by crypto analyst Cool Breeze, suggests that XRP holders are more educated and wealthier than the average cryptocurrency investor. The report ranked XRP and Ethereum holders as the most educated, while Litecoin holders were considered the least educated, with Bitcoin investors falling in the middle. It also noted that crypto holders generally have higher household incomes, with Ethereum, Stellar, and XRP investors being the wealthiest. The report emphasized that long-term ownership plays a key role in these findings, and XRP holders, in particular, have shown strong loyalty—even during Ripple’s lengthy legal battle with the SEC. Recent on-chain data from Santiment shows that the number of XRP holders has grown to over 7.7 million, a record high since the network’s launch. The XRP Ledger also saw a spike in activity, with active addresses reaching a five-week high. Despite criticism from some community members, XRP’s performance has remained relatively strong. At the time of writing, XRP is trading around $1.52.

Crypto donations face UK crackdown as report warns of ‘unacceptable risk’

A UK parliamentary report warns that cryptocurrency donations pose an "unacceptable risk" to political finance integrity, potentially leading to tighter restrictions or an outright ban. The report highlights that cryptoassets, treated as property rather than legal tender, operate in a regulatory grey area. Key concerns include the ability to obscure fund origins through mixers, privacy tokens, chain-hopping, and AI-assisted micro-transactions evading detection thresholds. Foreign or illicit funds could enter the political system undetected via crypto’s cross-border capabilities, creating a "last mile" problem where funds appear legitimate once converted to fiat. The report recommends a moratorium on crypto donations until stronger safeguards—such as clearer compliance frameworks, enhanced due diligence, and improved tracing—are established. This signals a broader regulatory shift toward greater scrutiny and control of crypto in political financing.

Aster Chain mainnet debuts: Can it slow the DEX’s falling market share?

Aster Chain, a perpetual DEX backed by YZi Labs, has launched its mainnet. The new Layer 1 blockchain incorporates zero-knowledge proofs and stealth addresses to prevent "position hunting" and improve privacy for high-frequency traders, while maintaining a CEX-like user experience. Despite a strong initial debut in late 2025, Aster's trading volume and market share have significantly declined. Weekly volume dropped from a peak of $74 billion to under $10 billion, and its market share fell from 40% to 20%. Competitor Hyperliquid, which initially lost dominance to Aster, has since regained much of its market share. The native token, ASTER, fell 86% from its high but recovered 80% during a broader market bounce. The mainnet announcement caused a brief 10% price surge, but gains were not sustained. The token remains range-bound between $0.70 and $0.80, with a potential move to $0.95 if key resistance is broken. Future demand may depend on the success of planned staking features.

Vitalik Says New Ethereum Rule Could Cut Confirmations To 12 Seconds

Vitalik Buterin has endorsed a new "fast confirmation rule" (FCR) for Ethereum, which could reduce confirmation times to about 12 seconds. This change provides a strong guarantee that a block will not be reverted, assuming a supermajority of honest validators and network latency under ~3 seconds. While not full economic finality, it offers significant security for many use cases like exchanges, bridges, and Layer-2 systems. The rule, proposed by researcher Julian Ma, cuts deposit times from Ethereum mainnet to L2s and exchanges by 80-98%, drastically improving user experience and operational efficiency. FCR relies on counting attestations rather than block depth, making it faster and provably secure under specific conditions. It can be implemented without a hard fork and includes a fallback to finality if network conditions worsen.

S&P 500 perpetual launches on Hyperliquid, bringing 24/7 equity exposure on-chain

A new S&P 500 perpetual contract has launched exclusively on-chain on Hyperliquid, developed through a collaboration between S&P Dow Jones Indices and trade.xyz. This product provides 24/7/365 exposure to the benchmark equity index, a significant shift from traditional market hours. It uses official S&P index data to maintain price alignment and operates as a crypto-native derivative, not direct ownership of the underlying stocks. The launch is supported by Hyperliquid's substantial growth, with its Total Value Locked (TVL) reaching approximately $4.7 billion, establishing a foundation for complex traditional finance products on-chain. This move challenges conventional market structure by offering global, continuous access to major financial benchmarks.
