Ether holders continue to monitor two dicey ‘whale’ positions that came dangerously close to liquidation yesterday, with a combined $229M worth of collateral at risk. Following another rough weekend, which saw ETH slide around 10%, liquidating such large quantities would be sure to send the token even lower still. After hitting a four-year low against Bitcoin towards the back end of last week, ETH has since slid even further, to a 5-year low.  The 125,603 $ETH($229M) held by these two whales on #Maker is at risk of liquidation! The liquidation price is $1,787.75 and $1,701.54.https://t.co/OsRc23ptV8https://t.co/nbAL9cAnkv pic.twitter.com/xUn6iOW19B — Lookonchain (@lookonchain) March 31, 2025 Read more : ETH crashes to four-year low against BTC  The slightly smaller of the two positions (63k ETH, worth $114M) was being actively managed over the weekend, adding a total of 2,600 ETH of collateral and repaying some debt to bring its liquidation price down to $1...

Is Blockchain the Key to Financial Privacy?! In an era of increasing financial surveillance and data breaches, privacy has become a major concern for individuals and businesses. Many are turning to blockchain technology as a potential solution—but is it the key to financial privacy? The Paradox of Transparency and Privacy Blockchain is often praised for its transparency, immutability, and security. Public blockchains like Bitcoin and Ethereum allow anyone to verify transactions, but this very feature can also expose financial activity to unwanted scrutiny. Every transaction is recorded on a public ledger, making it possible to trace the flow of funds. This raises an important question: Can blockchain offer privacy while maintaining its core principles? Privacy-Focused Blockchain Solutions Several blockchain projects have taken up the challenge of enhancing financial privacy. Here are some key innovations: 1. Privacy Coins (PIVX, Monero, Zcash, etc.) Privacy-focused cryptocurrencies use...

The cryptocurrency industry was previously filled with dog-themed meme coins. While Shiba Inu (SHIB) emerged as a Dogecoin (DOGE) killer, a few others wanted in on the canine party. Amidst this, PEPE made its debut with a bang. The frog-themed meme coin stood out for a lot of reasons. One among them is its massive price change right after its launch. The asset has even continued this uptrend throughout its time in the market. Also Read: Bitcoin Reserves a ‘Time Bomb’—Russian Economist Warns of 50% Crash How High Is PEPE Trading Today?

Ripple (XRP) has hit a new major milestone, with the first-ever regulated XRP futures in the US going live this week. Bitnomial, a U.S.-based digital asset derivatives exchange, has launched the first-ever U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) regulated futures contract for XRP, the firm announced on Thursday. “This marks the first-ever CFTC-regulated XRP futures product in the United States, providing traders with a compliant, transparent, and capital-efficient way to gain exposure to XRP,” Bitnomial said in a statement this week. The move is the latest in a string of huge milestones for Ripple Labs and their XRP cryptocurrency. This week the software company saw its lawsuit from the SEC finally come to a close. The lawsuit was originally filed four years ago, under the previous Gary Gensler-led SEC. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse called the lawsuit “doomed from the start” in a statement following the dropped appeal. Garlinghouse also called the move “a resounding...

Hedera coin (HBAR) was among the top-performing assets last year as it surged nearly 850% between November to January. It went from a low of $0.04 before Trump’s victory to a high of $0.37 when he took oath. It deleted a zero with ease and investors who accumulated the token early made massive profits in a short time. However, like many altcoins, HBAR has had a slow start to 2025 and is down nearly 20% in the last month alone. HBAR is now trading at the $0.18 mark on Tuesday and is attracting bearish sentiments. It is down close to 4% in the day’s trade and showing no signs of a bullish trajectory. Can Hedera coin dust itself from the fall and begin to steadily climb up in the indices? How may the coin perform for the remainder of this year? How High Will Hedera HBAR Go in 2025?

Mario Nawfal’s crypto account claims to have removed two promotions for an Adin Ross token after discovering it was a scam. However, users on X (formerly Twitter) remain skeptical. On Monday, the RoundtableSpace X account promoted a ROSS token before deleting the post shortly afterward. The next day, it shared the token address of this ROSS token. At one point, the market cap of ROSS reached $7 million before its price crashed. Mario Nawfal claims the account was compromised by a member of his team after they were convinced to promote a fake Adin Ross token by the user “@hardsnipe.” Despite this, onlookers on X weren’t impressed. One user who was annoyed at the team for promoting ROSS twice said, “Do you think we’re f*cking stupid?” Read more: FBI and SEC likely investigating Mario Nawfal after wave of complaints Others called it a “poor excuse,” and described Nawfal’s explanation as “a polite way of saying I rugged you,” and “HARD TO BELIEVE.” ...

After a promising start to 2025, Solana price has shed nearly 45% from its peak within just one month. A broader look at the cryptocurrency market reveals that what initially seemed a full-fledged bull run was abruptly halted by recent inflation data. High inflation — or even a slowdown in its decline — forces the Federal Reserve to halt its rate-cutting cycle, potentially keeping rates steady or even increasing them in the future. Persistently elevated rates reduce market liquidity, and highly speculative assets like cryptocurrencies are often the first to take a hit from such monetary tightening. A quick glance at a crypto heatmap reflects the extent of this downturn, with red dominating across major digital assets, indicating widespread losses. Solana, however, has not only been affected by unfavorable market conditions — it has also underperformed compared to other cryptocurrencies due to two major factors. First, recent scandals involving so-called meme co...

In what is a rather surprising global development, North Korea has reported surpassed El Salvador in total Bitcoin holdings after its most recent $1.4 billion Bybit hack. Indeed, Arkham Intelligence reported that the Lazarus hacker group currently holds 13,518 BTC, more than the governments of the Central American nation and Bhutan. The Lazarus group completed the $1.4 billion theft in February, and it has propelled the nation’s Bitcoin holdings. El Salvador currently holds just 10,635 BTC, while Bhutan holds more than 6,000 BTC.

Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Commodity Strategist Mike McGlone has made a doomsday prediction for Bitcoin. The strategist predicted that BTC could crash to the $10,000 level if a series of events occurred in the markets. He warned that gold prices above the $3,000 mark are a triggering point for other assets to plummet in value. The development puts pressure on the broader stock and cryptocurrency market, which could lead to a downward trajectory. Also Read: Ripple Rebounds 4% to End the Week: Can XRP Target $4?

On the heels of the 16th BRICS summit in October 2024, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova called the US dollar a “problematic currency.” She said that the de-dollarization agenda is not a goal for some nations, but a reality. While the initiative took wings last year, it is now an ash-covered cinder that has taken a temporary refuge. Also Read: BRICS: Nobody Will Trust the US Dollar Again The temporary refuge to pause de-dollarization comes after US President Donald Trump threatened 100% tariffs on goods from BRICS countries. This led to many countries, especially India and Brazil dropping the de-dollarization ideals and embracing the US dollar. The backtracking comes from threats and not out of their own will. The main issue with developing countries was that the US was weaponizing the dollar for their benefit. Even former US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen admitted that sanctions have led to de-dollarization. From pressing sanctions to ruining economies, the ...
