The community supports the bill emphasizing transparency and protecting investors

Part of the feedback from the community suggests that the bill could bring legal clarity, investor protection mechanisms, and regulatory oversight within the same framework.
Discussions on social media show that many see this as a "timely step," especially as many countries are still observing the field of asset tokenization. One user on X expressed supportive views, highlighting the necessity of this type of legislation in India.
Another user also added on X that the bill combines multiple objectives in a single document, from legal clarity to investor protection and oversight mechanisms.

The Asset Tokenisation (Regulation) Bill 2026 establishes the legal framework for the tokenization of real assets.

The bill aims to create a legal structure for the tokenization of real estate, commodities, and financial instruments on the blockchain, thereby legitimizing tokens as digital certificates attached to real-world assets.
According to publicly shared content, Raghav Chadha's proposal focuses on bringing the tokenization of real-world assets into a regulatory framework, rather than allowing it to exist merely as a spontaneous activity. The scope includes various groups of assets: real estate, commodities, and financial instruments.
The focus of the bill is on "legal recognition" of tokenization, considering tokens as digital ownership documents linked to real assets. This approach aims to clarify the rights and obligations of parties when assets are placed on the blockchain infrastructure.

Van de Poppe is recalibrating around the strength $TAO

Trader Michael van de Poppe revealed that he sold 10.42 shares of TAO at a price of $288, bringing in about $3,000. He has transferred the proceeds into Sei and EIGEN while still holding nearly 50% of his portfolio in TAO and NEAR.
Van de Poppe writes: “The story of Artificial Intelligence <a> </a> Cryptocurrency is one of the core aspects of the upcoming markets.”
He assesses the move of TAO as a 1.8 sigma event on the daily time frame, suggesting that it has slightly exceeded necessary levels and is ready for a short-term correction, creating an entry point back.
Whether TAO can maintain this level depends on the ongoing activity of the subnet and the overall development momentum of the AI sector in the coming week.

The Covenant-72B marks an important milestone in the field of artificial intelligence.

Behind that excitement is a tangible technical achievement. On March 10, Templar announced the completion of Covenant-72B, a large language model (LLM) with 72 billion parameters fully trained on Subnet 3 of Bittensor.
The model was trained on approximately 1.1 trillion tokens using standard internet connections. No centralized server clusters or Whitelists were used. Anyone with a GPU can freely participate.
Templar used a technique called SparseLoCo to overcome bandwidth limitations. Each participant performs local optimization steps before compressing and sharing updates, making decentralized training feasible at a scale of 72 billion.
The research team stated that Covenant-72B delivers competitive performance with centralized models such as LLaMA-2-70B.

The demand for Subnet Token drives the price $TAO up high.

As of the time of writing this article, TAO, the foundational token of Bittensor, is being traded at $284.75, an increase of 19.19% in the past 24 hours.

The reason behind TAO's movement may be quite simple. Investors need to hold TAO to exchange for subnet tokens, and the surge in the Templar craze has created a wave of buying pressure.
Tao Telegraph, a community account, notes that just one viral post about Templar is enough to drive TAO demand high, and speculates that simultaneous virality across different subnets could significantly amplify this effect.
Three subnets of the TAO ecosystem, SN3 Templar, SN4 Targon, and SN39 Basilica, are among the top eight strongest gainers of the day according to CoinGecko. TAO itself has also surpassed the $280 mark in this price surge.

Distribution of transaction volume by address group

The top 100 addresses of $HYPE account for 81.3% of the total transaction volume; the remaining portion belongs to 1,724,966 addresses which only account for 18.7%.
Hyperliquid Hub reports that the total number of user transaction addresses has reached 1,725,066. In this structure, the top 100 addresses group is the main source of volume, dominating compared to the vast majority of other addresses in the network.
The report describes a clear disparity between the number of addresses and the volume share: the 100 largest addresses hold most trading activity, while almost all other addresses contribute only a small fraction.

$SEC permanently dismisses the $257 million fraud lawsuit against BitClout founder Nader Al-Naji, continuing the series of retreats in the enforcement of cryptocurrency regulations under Trump.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Thursday officially withdrew the civil lawsuit against Nader Al-Naji, the founder of BitClout and the DeSo blockchain, with a permanent dismissal, meaning the agency cannot refile against Al-Naji or the six defendants who received related benefits with the same allegations in the future.
The text of the settlement agreement submitted to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York states that it was based on “a reassessment of the evidentiary record along with the specific facts and circumstances of the case,” while also mentioning the cryptocurrency task force established by the SEC in January 2025 under Acting Chair Mark T. Uyeda to develop a legal framework for digital assets.
The SEC initially sued Al-Naji in July 2024, alleging he raised over $257 million through the sale of unregistered BTCLT tokens while assuring investors that the funds would not be used for personal expenses. The agency stated that Al-Naji had used more than $7 million for personal expenses, including renting a mansion in Beverly Hills and gifting cash to family members. His wife and mother, along with several related entities, were also named as defendants receiving benefits.

FSA plans to amend the law and increase penalties

FSA wants to raise the penalties for unregistered cryptocurrency business activities, while also amending related laws to enhance oversight and protect investors.
According to the plan, the maximum prison sentence for the sale of unregistered cryptocurrency assets will increase from 3 years to a maximum of 10 years. The maximum fine will also increase from 3,000,000 yen to 10,000,000 yen, reflecting a shift towards stricter penalties for activities outside the licensing framework.
At the same time, the regulatory agency plans to amend the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act and other related laws. The goal is to bring cryptocurrency management activities under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act rather than continuing to primarily rely on the Payment Services Act, thereby increasing the focus on monitoring cryptocurrency exchanges and strengthening investor protection requirements.

The increase can be maintained if SOL holds the demand and surpasses EMA50

If the demand continues, SOL could test EMA50 and aim for 100 USD; on the contrary, a drop due to liquidation could pull the price below 90 USD, with 86 USD as support.
The bullish momentum of Solana is strengthened as traders become more engaged in the context of improving market sentiment. This raises the probability of the price maintaining a short-term uptrend.
The RSI Cyclic Smoothed has bounced above the Highband zone and increased to 62. Surpassing these thresholds is often interpreted as buyers clearly taking control in the market structure.
At the same time, SOL has surpassed the short-term moving average EMA20, thus confirming the strength of the trend. In many cases, this combination of signals suggests the potential for the continuation of the uptrend unless a liquidity shock occurs.
If demand remains solid, SOL could retest EMA50 and aim to break the psychological resistance of 100 USD. However, if the uptrend breaks and triggers mass liquidation, SOL could fall back below 90 USD, at which point 86 USD is the support level to watch.

Spot buyers dominate and form a demand zone of 86–91 USD

In the past 30 days, spot buyers have controlled the market, creating a strong demand zone of 86–91 USD and pushing accumulation signals on major exchanges.
In the Spot market, buyers have been predominant in recent weeks, thereby forming a notable demand area in the range of 86–91 USD.
Spot Taker CVD data from CryptoQuant shows that buyers have largely remained active during the prolonged price weakness, implying strong buying power absorbing well during market corrections.
On Binance, buyers have significantly increased accumulation. Over the past month, SOL recorded over 206 million (unit according to source data) in buy volume and this trend continues at the time of recording.
On March 16, the altcoin recorded 5.4 million (unit according to source data) in buy volume on Binance, indicating strong demand. Additionally, over 300 million USD has been withdrawn from exchanges in the past 24 hours, often seen as a sign of aggressive Spot accumulation.

Leverage $SOL increases as risk appetite returns

Derivative data shows that speculative activity has surged: perp volumes have recovered to over 600 million USD, and net futures cash flow has skyrocketed to 255 million USD.
Demand for SOL has been noted across many market participant groups, as many traders see this as a "good" entry zone. This sentiment is more pronounced in the derivatives sector, where risk appetite tends to increase.
According to DeFiLlama data, Perps Volume has recovered from a decrease of 280 million USD to exceed 600 million USD. Specifically, trading volume for perpetual contracts increased by more than 300 million USD in just two days, indicating a rise in speculative activity as traders take more aggressive positions.
At the same time, capital inflow into futures has increased significantly: Futures Inflow rose to 2.48 billion USD, while outflow increased to 2.2 billion USD. As a result, Futures Netflow surged by 983% to 255 million USD.
When perp volumes and futures cash flows both rise, the market often reflects a larger deployment of capital into positions. However, higher leverage also means that the risk of "chain" liquidations will increase if prices reverse quickly.

$SOL breaks through when 90 USD turns into support

SOL surpassed the accumulation zone after holding steady at 90 USD, reaching a monthly peak of around 94.2 USD and is currently trading around 94.13 USD, up 6.38% for the day.
Price action shows that buying pressure has prevailed after a period of sideways movement. SOL rose to its monthly high of 94.2 USD before a slight adjustment.
At the time of reporting, SOL is at 94.13 USD, up 6.38% on the daily chart. Meanwhile, the price has regained EMA20 and is testing EMA50 around 94 USD.
The trading volume increased by 102% to 4.37 billion USD, reflecting a higher level of market participation. In this context, the upward momentum is strengthened as buyers gain further advantage.

The trend of accumulating businesses $BTC is accelerating

The strategy of Metaplanet reflects a larger trend in the crypto market: listed companies using Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset.
By raising funds from the financial market to purchase BTC, these businesses are betting that the value of Bitcoin will increase significantly in the long term – even faster than the dilution rate of shares due to new issuances.
With hundreds of millions of USD in new capital waiting to be deployed, Metaplanet could continue to become one of the most notable Bitcoin buyers in the market in the near future.

Expanding into the Bitcoin financial ecosystem

Not only stopping at accumulating $BTC , Metaplanet also plans to expand its operations into financial services related to digital assets. The company intends to establish Metaplanet Asset Management in the United States, aiming to develop investment and financial products around the Bitcoin market.
At the same time, the business is also investing in Bitcoin infrastructure projects in Japan, including areas such as payments, lending, custody, and stablecoin.

The ambition to become one of the largest “Bitcoin treasury” in the world

Metaplanet is pursuing a strategy similar to many listed companies in the U.S. – using the capital market to accumulate Bitcoin as a corporate reserve asset.
Currently, the company holds about 35,000 BTC, with an estimated value of up to billions of USD, making Metaplanet one of the largest Bitcoin-holding businesses in Asia.
The company has set ambitious goals:
100,000 BTC by the end of 2026
210,000 BTC by 2027
If these goals are achieved, Metaplanet will become one of the largest Bitcoin-owning organizations globally, only behind a few large Bitcoin treasury companies and BTC mining corporations.

Metaplanet raises hundreds of millions of USD to accelerate its Bitcoin accumulation strategy

Japanese investment firm Metaplanet continues to push forward its "Bitcoin treasury" strategy by raising hundreds of millions of USD in new capital from global institutional investors, aiming to significantly expand its Bitcoin holdings in the coming years. This move reflects the growing confidence of financial institutions in Bitcoin as a long-term reserve asset.
Metaplanet raises over 255 million USD from institutional investors

According to the latest announcement, Metaplanet has raised approximately 255 million USD through the issuance of new shares to international institutional investors. These shares were sold at a price approximately 2% higher than the market, accompanied by warrants (stock purchase rights) with an exercise price about 10% higher.
If all warrants are exercised, the company could raise an additional 276 million USD, bringing the total potential funding size to about 531 million USD. This funding is expected to be used almost entirely to purchase additional Bitcoin.
According to CEO Simon Gerovich, this capital-raising structure is designed to ensure that the issuance of new shares does not dilute the amount of Bitcoin per share, helping to protect the interests of current shareholders.

On-chain transactions do not equate to real payments, crypto transactions are dominating

TD Economics believes that crypto transactions are the overwhelming part of stablecoin activity: about $23 trillion related to transactions, compared to about $4 trillion related to payments, causing payments to account for only around 6% of total stablecoin activity.
According to TD Economics, the large share belonging to crypto transactions means that the role of stablecoins as a "payment medium" remains secondary. The report also emphasizes that the flow of stablecoin transfers across borders is still very small compared to the total volume of cross-border remittances worldwide.
Professor of Law Hilary J. Allen cites analyses showing that about 88% of the value of stablecoin transactions in 2024 is related to crypto transactions, while only about 6% is tied to payments. She also noted that 1.9% of Americans have used any type of cryptocurrency for payments in 2024.

The proportion of stablecoin payments is less than 1% in actual payments

McKinsey & Company estimates the volume of stablecoin payments at around 390 billion USD/year, equivalent to about 0.02% of the global payment flow, so the “settlement” from stablecoin is still much lower than 1% of actual payment activities.
The figure of 390 billion USD/year shows that stablecoin has payment activity, but the scale is still small compared to the global payment flow. The important point is that “payment volume” is different from “on-chain transfer volume” recorded on the blockchain.
This gap reflects the reality of measurement: the majority of stablecoin transactions recorded are not payments for goods, services, or bill settlements. Instead, many transactions are on-chain rotations serving crypto trading, liquidity management, or coordination between wallets and exchanges.
Therefore, if we only look at the total volume of stablecoin transfers on-chain, the scale may seem very large, but it does not reflect the actual trade proportion. To assess payment applications, it is necessary to filter out transactions that are not linked to real-world economic exchanges.
