Strategy, the company formerly known as MicroStrategy, appears to have paused its weekly Bitcoin purchases after stacking BTC for 13 straight weeks. During that run, it accumulated about 90,831 BTC. Holdings now stand at 762,099 Bitcoin, roughly 3.6% of total supply.

The pause has sparked debate among traders about future buying plans.

Degen trader FINNT, known for his years in meme coins and DeFi with 91,000 followers, sparked a wave of excitement on March 30 by pledging to drive a memecoin to a $200 million market cap. His announcement led the community to suggest low‑cap tokens like $VNUT, $FINU, $BOOE, and $MOMO from Solana, Ethereum, and other chains. While supporters see memecoins as community‑driven social assets, critics warn they lack fundamentals and carry high rug and crash risks. This hype reflects the 2026 memecoin cycle powered by platforms that make token creation extremely easy and speculative, though most tokens fail to achieve lasting value.

The crypto market is under pressure as geopolitical tensions and volatility weigh on risk assets, with altcoins taking the hardest hit. Over 40% of altcoins are now at or near all-time lows, exceeding the 38% seen in the last bear market. Oversupply and liquidity dilution, more than 47 million tokens across chains like Solana, Base, and BNB Smart Chain, make altcoins fragile. While underperformance is widespread, it also creates opportunities for investors who can identify strong, resilient projects with long-term potential.

From March 23 to March 27, major crypto spot ETFs saw clear shifts in investor money. Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded about $296 million in net outflows, showing that traders were pulling back from the largest crypto. Spot Ethereum ETFs also saw significant outflows of around $207 million, signaling reduced institutional demand. Smaller assets followed suit, with Solana ETFs down about $4.24 million. In contrast, spot XRP ETFs bucked the trend with net inflows of about $2.66 million, hinting at selective interest even as sentiment remained cautious.

The Ethereum Foundation has made its largest staking commitment to date by allocating about $46.2 million in ETH to support the Ethereum network. In Ethereum’s proof of stake model, holders lock up ETH with validators to secure the blockchain and earn rewards for helping confirm transactions. This substantial stake reflects confidence in the network’s long-term potential and strengthens security by increasing active participation in the consensus process across the protocol.

On-chain expert Willy Woo projects Bitcoin’s bottom may land between $46,000 and $54,000, citing the CVDD Floor Model near $45,500 and historical patterns from past bear markets. Bitcoin has declined from over $90,000 in late 2025 to around $66,500, with key metrics showing capital stored in BTC has been falling since November. Woo warns that because these models are based on only four prior downturns during broad bullish cycles, a larger market breakdown could push BTC into an uncharted, deeper bear trend. Meanwhile, prediction markets like Polymarket currently price a 54% chance of BTC hitting $45,000 by year-end, highlighting mixed sentiment between caution and opportunistic buying.

Rich Dad Poor Dad Author Robert Kiyosaki says the future favors those who understand money. He warns that rising national debt and money printing will push inflation higher, reducing the value of savings. He also believes conflicts in the Middle East will keep oil prices high, adding pressure on costs. According to him, traditional paths like jobs, saving, and relying on bonds may not be safe. Instead, he prefers assets like gold, silver, oil, food, Bitcoin, and Ethereum for protection in uncertain times ahead. He encourages people to build financial knowledge and think independently.

Morgan Stanley has filed updated paperwork with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for a spot Bitcoin ETF, proposing a 0.14% annual management fee, the lowest among U.S. offerings if approved. The low-cost structure undercuts rivals like Grayscale and BlackRock and reflects the bank’s push into crypto investing. The ETF, set to trade under the ticker MSBT on NYSE Arca with custody from Coinbase and BNY Mellon, could reshape competition in the growing $90B Bitcoin ETF market.

Bhutan has intensified its Bitcoin sales this year, offloading nearly $120 million worth of BTC and cutting its holdings by around 1,700 coins. The government typically breaks its sales into smaller batches of $5 million to $10 million, routing funds through exchanges or market makers such as QCP Capital to manage liquidity. In recent weeks, transfer activity has accelerated, including a fresh move of 123.7 BTC valued at about $8.5 million, signaling continued strategic selling.
