Crypto Influencers In South Korea Face New Rules: Disclose Holdings

South Korean lawmakers are drafting new regulations that will require social media influencers who provide investment advice on cryptocurrencies or stocks to publicly disclose their holdings and any promotional payments. The rules, led by lawmaker Kim Seung-won, aim to prevent conflicts of interest and curb pump-and-dump schemes. Penalties for non-compliance may include fines and criminal charges. The proposal extends existing transparency practices for public officials to the private social media sphere. Enforcement details, such as influencer thresholds and disclosure requirements, are still being developed. The move is part of broader efforts to protect retail investors and increase market transparency.

ETHZilla Shares Jump Following Rebrand to Forum Markets

ETHZilla's share price surged after announcing its rebrand to Forum Markets and a strategic shift toward institutional blockchain infrastructure and real-world asset tokenization. The company will trade under the new ticker FRMM on Nasdaq, pending approval. Previously operating a crypto treasury model focused on Ethereum, the company struggled as ETH prices fell and investor interest waned. Its new direction targets the growing demand for regulated tokenized investment products, aiming to provide asset origination and management services. Market analysts note this move aligns with institutional interest in blockchain's efficiency and transparency for traditional financial assets.

Decoding Stripe's 2025 Annual Letter: Even in the Crypto Winter, It's Still the Summer of Stablecoins

Stripe's 2025 annual letter reveals a strategic pivot, leveraging Web3 technologies to deeply integrate crypto, particularly stablecoins, into the global economic infrastructure, even as the broader crypto market remains in a "winter." The company processed $1.9 trillion in total payment volume in 2025, a 34% year-over-year increase, representing 1.6% of global GDP. This robust base supports its ambitious Web3 initiatives. A key insight is the "summer of stablecoins." Despite a crypto downturn, stablecoin payment volume doubled to $400 billion in 2025, with 60% originating from B2B transactions, demonstrating a shift from speculation to real-world utility. The acquisition of Bridge has been central to this strategy. Integrated into Stripe, Bridge's transaction volume grew over 4x. It now powers Stripe's fiat-to-crypto operations, partnered with Visa on a stablecoin payment card, and launched "Open Issuance" for businesses to easily create their own stablecoins. Privy, another acquisition, simplifies Web3 onboarding. Its API allows businesses to embed user-friendly wallets, supporting over 110 million programmable wallets and making the complexity of crypto "disappear" for end-users. Looking forward, Stripe is incubating Tempo, a new Layer-1 blockchain designed specifically for high-throughput payments, aiming to handle millions to billions of transactions per second to support the future of AI-driven "Agentic Commerce." Partnerships with companies like OpenAI are already building protocols for AI agents to autonomously transact. The letter concludes by hinting at a potential massive acquisition of PayPal, which would significantly boost Stripe's consumer-facing capabilities, though this remains speculative. The overarching narrative is clear: Stripe is building an internet-native financial system where stablecoins, seamless wallets, and powerful new blockchains form the backbone of global commerce and AI-driven transactions.

Bitcoin Rebounds to $69K, Triggers $400M Short Liquidations

Bitcoin rebounded to nearly $69,000 on February 25, marking its first return to that level in over a week. The cryptocurrency surged over 7% in a single day after dipping to $63,000 just a day earlier. Despite the recovery, Bitcoin remains down more than 21% over the past month. This price movement triggered significant liquidations in the derivatives market, totaling $463 million in 24 hours. Over $400 million of that came from short positions, with Bitcoin alone accounting for around $200 million in short liquidations. Ethereum and Solana followed with $153 million and $22 million, respectively. Ethereum saw a 12% gain, reaching $2,075, while Solana dropped nearly 14% to below $89. Other major cryptocurrencies like Polkadot, Filecoin, and Avalanche also posted double-digit gains. The broader crypto market rose 6.6%, and crypto-related equities climbed as risk appetite improved.

Bitwise Plants Its Flag In ETF Staking With Chorus One Buyout

Crypto asset manager Bitwise has acquired staking infrastructure firm Chorus One, which manages over $2.2 billion in assets across dozens of blockchain networks. The deal brings 50 employees into Bitwise's onchain division and expands its staking services to more than 30 proof-of-stake networks, including Solana, Avalanche, and Sui. While financial terms were undisclosed, the acquisition positions Bitwise to capitalize on staking as a key growth opportunity, especially as the SEC warms to crypto investment products like ETFs that may offer staking rewards. Bitwise, which already manages $15 billion in assets and runs over 40 investment products, including its Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, continues to expand beyond its core ETF offerings.

Dogecoin And XRP Open Interest Crash To 2024 Levels, Here Are The Figures

According to Coinglass data, open interest for Dogecoin and XRP has crashed to levels last seen in late 2024. Dogecoin's open interest has fallen below $1 billion, a threshold it had consistently held above since late 2024, and is now valued at $992.65 million. This decline is attributed to a loss of major price support and reflects a 3.11% drop in the last 24 hours, with significant deleveraging on exchanges like BingX (-24.75%). Similarly, XRP's open interest has returned to late November 2024 levels, now standing at $2.27 billion after a 0.61% daily decrease. The Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) holds the largest share of XRP open contracts. The overall crash in derivatives markets for both assets is a result of slower capital inflows and extended outflows across the crypto market, effectively erasing over a year of position buildup.

Jane Street's Three Sins: Insider Trading, Index Manipulation, and the Bitcoin 'Morning Massacre'

Jane Street, a highly profitable quantitative trading firm, faces serious allegations across multiple continents. In the U.S., Terraform Labs’ bankruptcy trustee has sued Jane Street, accusing it of insider trading related to the May 2022 collapse of Terra Luna. The suit claims Jane Street withdrew $85 million from a liquidity pool just minutes after Terraform secretly removed $150 million, allegedly using non-public information from a former intern. The action allegedly helped trigger a $40 billion crash. Simultaneously, in India, the Securities and Exchange Board (SEBI) has accused Jane Street of manipulating the Bank Nifty index through a “pump-and-dump” scheme over 18 expiration dates, resulting in alleged illegal profits of ~$580 million. Jane Street has been barred from Indian markets and is appealing. Additionally, Bitcoin traders had observed a pattern of sharp sell-offs at 10 AM ET—dubbed the "10 AM Crashes"—coinciding with U.S. market open, which many attributed to Jane Street’s trading activity. Notably, Jane Street is an authorized participant of BlackRock’s IBIT Bitcoin ETF, holding significant shares. After the Terra lawsuit was filed, the predictable sell-offs stopped, and Bitcoin saw a notable price rebound. The broader implication is the risk of market manipulation by privileged intermediaries within ETF structures—a problem Bitcoin was designed to overcome. If Jane Street halts its alleged manipulative strategies due to legal pressure, a major selling pressure on Bitcoin may be removed.

Why Is the Crypto Market Surging Today? Breakout Momentum Builds Ahead of U.S. Data

The cryptocurrency market is surging, rebounding from recent volatility as traders anticipate key U.S. economic data. The total market cap climbed toward $2.3 trillion, signaling potential bearish exhaustion. Bitcoin reclaimed $65,000, while Ethereum held near $1,900, and altcoins like LEO saw double-digit gains. Leveraged short liquidations accelerated the upward move. The rally is largely driven by expectations that weaker U.S. jobless claims data could lead to Federal Reserve rate cuts, improving liquidity for risk assets. Despite the recovery, the market remains at a critical juncture. A breakout above $2.3 trillion in market cap or Bitcoin surpassing $67,000–$70,000 resistance could confirm bullish momentum, while failure to hold support may renew downside risks.
