Congresswoman Biggs discloses six-figure BlackRock bitcoin ETF buy as BTC rebounds

U.S. Representative Sheri Biggs disclosed a purchase of up to $250,000 in BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF.

The filing reportedly ranks among the largest bitcoin-related trades reported by an active member of Congress.
Rep. Sheri Biggs has disclosed a purchase of up to $250,000 in BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF, one of the largest bitcoin-related trades publicly reported by an active member of Congress.

A House periodic transaction report filed this week shows Biggs’ spouse purchased shares of the fund on March 4 in the $100,001 to $250,000 range through a professionally managed UBS account held in the W.S.B Trust.

The fund, known by its ticker IBIT, is BlackRock’s spot bitcoin exchange-traded fund, which directly tracks the price of Bitcoin.
Unlike an earlier disclosure tied to a similar purchase last year, the latest filing appears to comply with the STOCK Act’s 45-day reporting window. The March 4 trade was disclosed on April 16, 43 days later.

Biggs previously reported another IBIT purchase in the same dollar range tied to a July 2025 transaction. That filing was submitted late as part of a broader batch of delayed disclosures that drew scrutiny over congressional trading transparency, Yahoo Finance reported at the time.

No allegation of wrongdoing has been made in either case, and the latest filing states the account is professionally managed.

Ethereum is quietly positioning to outperform Bitcoin in 2026.

Analysts and on-chain metrics show ETH gaining ground: record Q1 transactions, Glamsterdam upgrade incoming, exploding RWA/tokenized asset growth ($27.6B market), and staking yields.
Why it feels real: ETH/BTC ratio is showing early bullish divergence, and institutions are rotating into utility plays after BTC’s run.
These are the ones with actual smoke (filings, investments, scheduled events) rather than pure hopium. Markets love to “buy the rumor, sell the news,” so volatility around these is expected. 2026 could be the year of ETH 👀

Claim1,200 USDT in the Monthly Creation Challenge

Bitcoin rallied hard after Iran said it was reopening the Strait of Hormuz to commercial shipping.

Bitcoin hit the highest level since February, oil prices dropped, Wall Street notched another record, and the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield slipped to 4.24%. But here’s the catch: markets acted as if the reopening had solved the core standoff between Washington and Tehran.

Look closer, though, and the story gets more complicated. The opening is only temporary, the blockade is still in place, mine-clearing operations are ongoing, and there’s plenty of confusion about what Iran has actually agreed to.

French authorities are stepping up efforts to protect cryptocurrency investors amid a sharp increase in violent, targeted attacks.

Speaking at Paris Blockchain Week, Jean-Didier Berger, minister delegate to the interior minister of France, said the government has already introduced preventive steps. Specifically, these include a dedicated platform to reduce so-called "wrench attacks," in which criminals use force to access digital assets.

The initiative is already seeing strong uptake, with thousands of users reportedly signing up. Berger also confirmed ongoing coordination with Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez on a broader national security strategy, which is expected to be developed in the coming weeks.

The urgency behind these measures is reflected in recent figures. French outlet RTL reported 41 crypto-related kidnappings so far in 2026. This suggests an incident roughly every two and a half days.

Gold prices slipped slightly from a one-month peak during Asian trading on Wednesday, with investors closely watching developments between the United States and Iran as a fragile ceasefire deadline approaches next week. The pullback came after a strong rally in the previous session, driven by optimism over potential peace negotiations and encouraging U.S. inflation data.Spot gold declined 0.6% to $4,815.17 per ounce, while gold futures edged down 0.3% to $4,838.40 per ounce as of early morning Eastern Time. Fellow precious metals followed suit, with silver dipping 0.4% to $79.27 per ounce and platinum holding relatively steady at $2,107.21 per ounce.Tuesday's rally was sparked by softer-than-expected U.S. Producer Price Index figures for March, which showed that while headline inflation was pushed higher by rising energy costs, core inflation remained largely contained. The data mirrored a similar trend seen in recent Consumer Price Index readings and put pressure on the U.S. dollar, boosting gold's appeal as an alternative asset. Former Federal Reserve Chair and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen added to the bullish sentiment by suggesting there could be room for at least one interest rate cut later this year. Since gold generates no yield, lower interest rates typically enhance its attractiveness compared to government bonds.Geopolitical tension continued to shape market sentiment. The U.S. military confirmed it had fully enforced a naval blockade against Iran, a move widely interpreted as pressure on Tehran to reach a lasting peace agreement. President Donald Trump expressed confidence that additional ceasefire talks would take place within days and that a resolution to the now seven-week-old conflict was near. Both sides have reportedly remained open to dialogue, and the existing ceasefire appeared to be holding as of Wednesday morning.Traders remain cautious, aware that any breakdown in negotiations could quickly reignite safe-haven demand and push gold prices hi
