Bitwise: Why Bitcoin Is Destined to Reach $1 Million?

In his article, Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan argues that Bitcoin is likely to reach $1 million per coin, a target he once considered unrealistic. He explains that the common mistake in evaluating Bitcoin’s potential is viewing the store-of-value market as static. Instead, he frames Bitcoin as a digital competitor to gold in the store-of-value market, which has grown significantly—from $2.5 trillion in 2004 to around $38 trillion today, with gold comprising $36 trillion and Bitcoin $1.4 trillion. Hougan projects that, if the store-of-value market continues growing at a 13% annual rate, it could reach $121 trillion in 10 years. In that scenario, Bitcoin would only need to capture 17% of the market—up from its current <4%—to achieve a $1 million valuation. He cites growing institutional adoption, the success of Bitcoin ETFs, and decreased long-term volatility as factors supporting this growth. While acknowledging risks like a potential slowdown in market expansion or Bitcoin’s failure to gain share, Hougan believes current trends make a $1 million Bitcoin plausible within a decade.

Crypto Prices Remain Flat While Asia Secures Natural Gas Supplies

Cryptocurrency prices remained largely flat over the past 24 hours, with Bitcoin trading around $69,967 and Ethereum near $2,033. Most major cryptocurrencies saw minor declines, while TRX and DOGE posted slight gains. The overall market cap dipped 0.15%, and the Fear and Greed Index fell to 25. Meanwhile, Asia secured new liquefied natural gas supplies from LNG Canada, with shipments already sent to Japan, South Korea, and the Philippines. This development helps mitigate supply risks linked to Middle East tensions, which had raised concerns about a potential global recession and its impact on crypto markets. Major U.S. stock indexes closed mixed, with the Nasdaq slightly up while the Dow and S&P 500 declined. Oil prices also attempted to pull back. Crypto markets continue to await a potential rally once geopolitical pressures ease.

BIS Warns Crypto Self-Custody Could Become New AML Loophole

A new BIS paper warns that self-custodied crypto wallets could become a significant loophole in anti-money laundering (AML) enforcement if regulatory gaps are not addressed. The report highlights that as regulated payment channels face stricter rules, illicit financial flows may shift towards self-hosted wallets, which operate without intermediaries and thus avoid customer due diligence, transaction monitoring, and suspicious activity reporting. The paper argues that these wallets may be more attractive for illegal activities than cash due to their digital ease of transfer, cross-border efficiency, and lack of physical constraints. This creates a “waterbed effect,” where tightening one area of regulation simply displaces risk to another. Using the EU as a case study, the authors note that while hosted crypto services are now integrated into AML frameworks, self-custody wallets remain largely outside direct oversight. The absence of transaction limits, unlike the €10,000 cap on cash, could incentivize malicious actors to migrate to self-hosted crypto assets, thereby undermining overall AML efforts.

South Korea’s FIU warns Bithumb of a six-month ban as Bitcoin exchange flows fall

South Korea's Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) has issued a preliminary notice to crypto exchange Bithumb, warning of a potential six-month partial suspension and sanctions against its CEO. The action is due to alleged failures in meeting Anti-Money Laundering (AML) obligations, particularly regarding dealings with unregistered overseas platforms and insufficient Know Your Customer (KYC) compliance. A sanctions review is scheduled for 16 March. This follows similar regulatory actions against other major exchanges like Upbit and Korbit. On-chain data shows a sharp drop in Bitcoin exchange flows, indicating increased trader caution amid growing regulatory scrutiny.

Solana ETFs Attract $540 Million From Wall Street In Q4: Data

US spot Solana ETFs attracted over $540 million from major Wall Street institutions in Q4 2024, with half of all assets owned by large investors, signaling strong institutional demand. The top buyers included Electric Capital, Goldman Sachs, and Morgan Stanley. Despite a more than 30% price drop in SOL from $124.95 to $86.50 during the period, net inflows remained steady, reaching over $950 million cumulatively. Analysts note the high institutional ownership suggests a focus on long-term positioning rather than short-term trading. Updated data on institutional response to the price decline will be available in mid-May.

Odaily Exclusive Interview with Gate Founder Dr. Han: From TradFi Integration to Intelligent Web3, Redefining the Boundaries of Exchanges

In a recent interview with Odaily, Dr. Han, founder and CEO of Gate, discussed the exchange's strategic direction, market outlook, and integration of AI and Web3 technologies. He addressed the current perception of slowed innovation in crypto compared to booming sectors like AI, noting that market cycles are normal and AI development ultimately benefits the crypto industry. Gate is actively incorporating AI to enhance internal operations and user experience. Dr. Han envisions a future where a simple AI dialog box could replace traditional product interfaces, handling all user queries and tasks. This vision is part of the broader "Intelligent Web3" concept, which aims to use AI agents to help users navigate the complex and fast-growing crypto information landscape. The exchange's "All in Web3" strategy, formalized in 2025, builds on years of groundwork in decentralized infrastructure, culminating in products like the Gate Wallet. For 2026, Dr. Han highlighted key growth areas: crypto payments, Real World Assets (RWA), and decentralized exchanges (DEXs). Regarding competition from traditional finance, he views the entry of institutions like NYSE and Nasdaq into tokenized stocks as a positive development that brings more users and assets into crypto. Gate's own TradFi business, launched recently, has seen rapid growth, exceeding $95 billion in trading volume, and is designed to create a synergistic "two-way integration" ecosystem with its core crypto services. Dr. Han also discussed challenges, including managing a fully remote workforce and adapting to AI-driven efficiency gains. He defended Gate's high volume of token listings, emphasizing user choice and the provision of protective tools over acting as a gatekeeper. On compliance, Gate has made significant progress, securing licenses across numerous U.S. states, European countries, and other regions since starting its efforts in 2018. Future plans include expanding into new jurisdictions and obtaining additional licenses for payments and derivatives. A long-term goal involves pursuing public listings for its various global entities. The interview concluded with the announcement of GateClaw, an AI agent platform for crypto, representing a first step toward Dr. Han's vision of an AI-driven, interface-free user experience.

Crypto declines by $1.16T while AI raises $140B – Examining this divide

The cryptocurrency market has experienced a significant downturn, with a total market capitalization decline of approximately $1.16 trillion over the past six months, reflecting reduced investor risk appetite. In contrast, the artificial intelligence sector has attracted substantial investment, raising around $140 billion since February 2026, led by companies like OpenAI and Anthropic. This highlights a stark disparity between traditional AI funding and AI-related crypto tokens, which have a combined valuation of only $15 billion. Public interest in AI has consistently outpaced cryptocurrency searches since 2021, marking the widest divergence in nearly five years. However, this increased attention has not translated into sustained gains for AI tokens, which remain closely tied to broader crypto market cycles rather than AI-specific developments. According to Maria Carola, CEO of StealthEX, this disconnect indicates a monetization gap, with most AI investment currently targeting infrastructure development rather than tokenized ecosystems. While AI tokens like Fetch.ai and Virtual Protocol have historically followed crypto market trends, some analysts believe they could benefit later as decentralized AI applications mature. For now, their performance depends heavily on overall crypto market sentiment, and a sustained recovery in digital assets may be necessary for significant AI token growth.

Blockchain.com rolls out crypto expansion plan for Ghana – Details

Global crypto firms are increasingly targeting Africa due to massive adoption in the region. Blockchain.com is expanding into Ghana following significant success in Nigeria, where it recorded 700% growth. The company sees similar potential in Ghana, driven by high interest in digital assets for hedging against currency volatility, payments, remittances, and savings. Nigeria leads Sub-Saharan Africa in crypto activity, with over $92 billion in value last year, followed by South Africa, Ethiopia, Kenya, and Ghana. Africa’s overall crypto activity surged 52% in 2025, reaching $205 billion, making it the third-largest crypto-adopting region globally. Institutional demand is particularly strong in South Africa due to clear regulations, while other nations like Nigeria and Kenya are also pushing for regulatory clarity to foster growth. Bitcoin, USDT, and Ethereum are the most traded assets in the region.
