The drop extends a pattern where bitcoin sells off on geopolitical shocks before recovering, as the token's 24/7 liquidity makes it one of the few large assets traders can exit over the weekend.
Bitcoin neared $63,000 in Saturday trading after the U.S. and Israel launched military strikes on Iran, pushing the largest cryptocurrency down roughly 3% in a matter of hours and extending what had already been a difficult weekend for risk assets.
The move brings bitcoin to its lowest level since the Feb. 5 crash, when the token briefly dipped below $60,000.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz declared an immediate state of emergency across all areas of Israel. A U.S. official confirmed American participation in the strikes, The Wall Street Journal reported.
The sell-off follows a well-established pattern. Bitcoin trades 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, while equity and bond markets are closed on weekends.
That makes it one of the only large, liquid assets available for traders to sell when geopolitical risk spikes outside of traditional market hours.
The result is that bitcoin often acts as a pressure valve for broader risk-off sentiment during weekend events, absorbing selling that would otherwise spread across equities, commodities, and currencies if those markets were open.
The attack risks a wider regional conflict in one of the most economically sensitive parts of the world, following a month-long U.S. military buildup and failed negotiations over Iran's nuclear program.

The new post reflects Buterin’s renewed focus on scaling Ethereum’s base layer, after several years in which much of the ecosystem’s scaling strategy centered on layer-2 rollups.
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has published a new blog post on X outlining his latest vision for scaling the blockchain, arguing the network can boost capacity in the near term while laying the groundwork for a longer-term shift to advanced cryptography and data-heavy “blobs” that would change how Ethereum is validated.
The post reflects Buterin’s renewed focus on scaling Ethereum’s base layer, after several years in which much of the ecosystem’s scaling strategy centered on layer-2 rollups. The plan comes on the heels of the Ethereum Foundation publishing a ‘strawmap’ aimed at making the network more efficient in the long term.
In the short term, Buterin says Ethereum can safely increase throughput by making blocks easier and faster to check. Upcoming upgrades will allow the computers that run Ethereum to review different parts of a block simultaneously, rather than processing everything step by step. At the same time, changes to how blocks are built will let the network use more of each 12-second processing window, rather than finishing early out of caution (known as ePBS, and will be implemented in the upcoming Glamsterdam upgrade).
The result: Ethereum should be able to fit more transactions into each block without increasing the risk of errors or instability.
Another major piece of the plan involves rethinking how transaction fees — known as “gas” — are calculated. Buterin argues that not all activity on Ethereum puts the same strain on the network. There’s a big difference between using computing power temporarily and permanently adding new data that every Ethereum computer, or node, must store forever.
Right now, those costs are largely bundled together. But creating new permanent data — such as deploying a new contract — increases the blockchain’s long-term size, making it more expensive to run a node over time. That, in turn, risks pushing out smaller operators. Buterin’s proposal would make long-term storage more expensive while allowing more room for everyday transaction processing. In effect, Ethereum could handle more activity without dramatically increasing how fast the blockchain grows.
The goal, he argues, is to avoid a future in which Ethereum processes more transactions but becomes so data-intensive that only large, well-funded players can afford to participate.
Longer term, Buterin sees Ethereum leaning more heavily on zero-knowledge proofs (a private verification method) and expanded data capacity through so-called blobs. Originally introduced to help layer-2 networks post transaction data more cheaply, blobs could eventually carry Ethereum’s own transaction data — a shift that would allow validators to confirm activity without re-running every transaction themselves.

A Comissão de Jogos disse que há um aumento nas buscas e na demanda dos consumidores por pagamentos em criptomoedas no Reino Unido, o que às vezes os leva a sites ilegais.
A Comissão de Jogos do Reino Unido está explorando permitir pagamentos em criptomoedas para operadores de apostas licenciados, como parte de um impulso mais amplo por regulamentações que ajudam a combater mercados ilegais e promover a inovação.
O Diretor Executivo Tim Miller disse que o regulador quer examinar um “caminho potencial a seguir” para pagamentos em criptomoedas no Reino Unido, na Reunião Geral Anual do Conselho de Apostas e Jogos. Miller citou a crescente demanda dos consumidores e evidências de que buscas relacionadas a criptomoedas estão levando alguns jogadores a sites não licenciados.

Nine lawmakers asked the federal agencies to investigate the global crypto exchange after reports of potential funding channeled to terrorist groups.
Democrats in the U.S. Senate continue to pile onto Binance, asking the Treasury and Justice departments to investigate its sanctions compliance and protections against illicit finance following reports of potential terrorism funding.
Nine senators, including a few that have been instrumental in negotiations over the crypto industry legislation known as the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, sent a letter Friday to the chiefs of the federal agencies, requesting they probe the exchange after news reports on possible breaches, which also claimed the company had fired some of the compliance personnel involved in discovering the transactions.
The latest move from Democrats follows an announcement earlier this week from Senator Richard Blumenthal, a Connecticut Democrat who is a senior member of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, that he was inquiring into Binance and had written a letter to the company asking for information. However, neither he nor the other Senate Democrats are in the majority, meaning they don't currently have control over committee investigations.
Richard Teng, Binance co-CEO, has said some of the earlier media reports were "inaccurate" and "defamatory." A spokesperson for the company didn't immediately respond to a request for comment Friday on the senators' request, which had been sent to Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent and Attorney General Pam Bondi.
These allegations raise grave concerns that poor illicit finance controls at Binance remain a significant threat to national security," according to the Friday letter from senators including Elizabeth Warren, Ruben Gallego, Angela Alsobrooks, Mark Warner and five others, who also asked for information about the company's compliance with requirements from its 2023 settlement.
Our illicit finance controls are dangerously compromised if enormous sums can flow through Binance to terrorist groups or sanctions evaders," they wrote in the letter, which comes at a delicate point in the ongoing discussions over U.S. legislation that would govern the crypto markets.
The prevention of illicit finance in crypto is among the issues that are still being discussed in that bill. Senator Warner has taken a lead among Democrats seeking to hash out legislative language on the topic.
Another unresolved issue centers around U.S. President Donald Trump and his family's crypto activities, which the letter also referenced. The lawmakers wrote that they "recognized" Binance had ties to World Liberty Financial, the Trump-backed crypto venture behind the USD1 stablecoin. They also referenced Trump's pardon of Binance founder Changpeng "CZ" Zhao — he had pleaded guilty and served four months in prison tied to Binance's past issues with anti-money laundering and know-your-customer provisions.

À medida que o Citi integra o Bitcoin em estruturas de custódia e relatórios de nível bancário, o Morgan Stanley avança para trazer negociação de cripto, exploração de empréstimos e produtos tokenizados para clientes de riqueza mainstream.
O Citigroup (C) planeja lançar custódia institucional de bitcoin ainda este ano, como parte de um esforço mais amplo para integrar ativos digitais na infraestrutura financeira tradicional do banco.
Nisha Surendran, que lidera a construção do produto de custódia de ativos digitais do Citi, descreveu a iniciativa em um discurso no Fórum de Estratégia Mundial na quinta-feira como um esforço para "tornar o bitcoin bancável."

O Escritório do Procurador dos EUA para D.C. disse que seu Centro de Combate a Golpes congelou ou apreendeu mais de $580 milhões em criptomoedas de organizações criminosas transnacionais chinesas desde sua formação em novembro.
Os fundos estão ligados a fraudes de investimento em criptomoedas e golpes de confiança, que as autoridades dizem defraudar os americanos em quase $10 bilhões anualmente.
As autoridades federais apreenderam ou congelaram mais de $580 milhões em ativos digitais vinculados a organizações criminosas transnacionais chinesas, após uma ação de fiscalização coordenada por várias agências de segurança nos últimos três meses, disse na quinta-feira o Escritório do Procurador dos EUA para o Distrito de Columbia.

A deputada do DFL de Minnesota, Erin Koegel, apresentou um projeto de lei que proibiria quiosques de criptomoedas em todo o estado, após um aumento nos relatos de fraudes.
O Departamento de Comércio de Minnesota afirmou que "apoia fortemente" o projeto de lei e planeja apresentar uma proposta mais abrangente de proteção ao consumidor nos próximos dias, que inclui a proibição dos quiosques.
Os legisladores de Minnesota consideraram na quinta-feira uma legislação que proibiria quiosques de criptomoedas, citando depoimentos de autoridades policiais que detalharam o papel das máquinas em esquemas fraudulentos que esvaziaram as economias de residentes idosos e, em pelo menos um caso, empurraram uma vítima para a insegurança habitacional.

Derive said volatility compression and concentrated call accumulation suggests traders are preparing for a rebound toward the $85,000 to $95,000 range.
However, despite the improving skew and structured positioning, substantial put interest and broader macro uncertainty show conviction remains cautious, it noted.

options traders are building positions for a potential rebound toward $90,000, according to onchain derivatives platform Derive, pointing to early signals that the market may be attempting to form a bas
Recent derivatives positioning suggests traders are shifting away from aggressive downside hedging while maintaining defined protection, Derive Head of Research Dr. Sean Dawson commented in a note to The Block.
The crypto market is beginning to show early signs of stabilization after weeks of uncertainty, with derivatives positioning suggesting traders are quietly preparing for a recovery while still maintaining meaningful downside protection," he said.
After a brief uptick at the start of February, bitcoin volatility has settled back into the 50% range — a level historically associated with consolidation rather than panic selling, Dawson noted. At the same time, the 25-delta skew, a key options sentiment gauge, has rebounded sharply from late-February lows, moving from roughly -15% to around -7%. The shift indicates traders are becoming less aggressively defensive and more balanced in their outlook, according to the analyst.r
Options flows reinforce that cautious optimism, Dawson added. The March 27 bitcoin expiry, which currently holds the largest open interest in the market, shows significant call accumulation at the $80,000 and $90,000 strikes. Derive said this clustering suggests bullish traders are positioning for a recovery into the $85,000 to $95,000 range over the coming month as liquidity conditions stabilize.
However, downside protection remains firmly in place. Substantial put open interest is concentrated at the $60,000 and $55,000 strikes, indicating bears expect any drawdown to remain within a defined range rather than escalate into a capitulation event, Dawson said.
Bitcoin is currently trading for $66,029, according to The Block's BTC price page, down 3.2% over the past day.
Defensive hedging persists amid macro crosscurrents
Ethereum derivatives markets reflect a similar asymmetric setup. Derive highlighted a notable build-up of call exposure around the $3,500 strike, alongside strong put demand at the $1,800 level, underscoring continued hedging against macro risk and delayed capital inflows.
Data from Bybit and Block Scholes also demonstrate caution. After bitcoin briefly fell to $62,000 and rebounded toward the high-$68,000 area, one-week at-the-money implied volatility climbed to about 60%, leaving the front end of the volatility curve mildly inverted. Put skew has eased from extreme levels but remains tilted toward downside protection, while perpetual futures open interest continues to decline, signaling limited appetite for leveraged exposure, the firms said on Friday.
The $70,000 psychological level has thwarted bitcoin bulls for much of this month, keeping the world's oldest and largest cryptocurrency on course for its fifth consecutive monthly decline," Han Tan, chief market analyst at Bybit, said. "Still, as crypto's fundamentals remain supportive, the current confidence crisis may ultimately create space for a strong bullish narrative to emerge. Flows could reverse once macro clarity improves, particularly around Federal Reserve policy or U.S. trade policy."
Supporting the idea that sentiment may be near a trough, recent research from Binance highlighted that options-market hedging has reached its most extreme level since the FTX collapse, despite the absence of a fundamental negative catalyst. Binance analysts also observed that crypto’s recent price behavior has closely tracked high-beta technology stocks — a dynamic driven by institutional exchange-traded fund ownership that treats bitcoin as a technology proxy rather than a pure monetary asset.
ETF flows show tentative re-engagement
Broader market sentiment has also softened. While U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs have recorded net outflows for four consecutive months, they are currently on a three-day net inflow streak topping $1 billion, according to data compiled by The Block.
That includes $254.4 million worth of net inflows on Thursday, led by BlackRock's IBIT and Bitwise's BITB, with $275.8 million and $69 million in creations, respectively, offset by net outflows from other funds.
Meanwhile, Pepperstone Senior Research Strategist Michael Brown said participants remain attentive to geopolitical developments and renewed pressure in the technology sector, with U.S.-Iran talks and tech stock weakness weighing on risk appetite. Treasury yields dipped toward 4.01% on the 10-year before stabilizing, while crude benchmarks experienced intraday swings but ended largely unchanged.
Taken together, the data points toward a market attempting to form a base," Derive's Dawson said. "Volatility compression, improving sentiment metrics and increasingly structured positioning suggest traders are transitioning away from defensive panic toward conditional optimism, preparing for upside participation while remaining protected against another leg lower."

O posicionamento em futuros e opções mostra que os traders estão buscando se proteger contra novas quedas.
Decred (DCR), um token construído para autonomia e governança descentralizada, ampliou os ganhos mesmo com o mercado mais amplo liderado pelo bitcoin.
O token subiu 16% nas últimas 24 horas e agora é negociado a $34,58, o mais alto desde novembro, mostram dados da CoinDesk. É o token de melhor desempenho entre os 100 principais nas últimas quatro semanas, tendo ganho mais de 80% após uma mudança nas regras do tesouro em 8 de fevereiro.
O bitcoin, por sua vez, está enfrentando uma pressão de venda renovada, negociando em torno de $67.000, uma fraca continuidade após ter saltado para $70.000 na quarta-feira. A criptomoeda caiu 2% em uma base de 24 horas, com ether (ETH), XRP (XRP), solana (SOL) e o Índice CoinDesk 20 (CD20) registrando perdas semelhantes.

Analistas dizem que a última queda parece ser uma limpeza de alavancagem e reposicionamento, em vez de uma reversão estrutural de tendência
O Bitcoin e o mercado de criptomoedas mais amplo entraram na sexta-feira em desvantagem, com a maioria dos grandes tokens registrando perdas nas últimas 24 horas, enquanto os traders continuavam a reduzir riscos ao lado das ações após a queda impulsionada pelos lucros da Nvidia.
O Bitcoin estava sendo negociado em torno de $67,766 no momento da escrita, com uma queda de 1,5% no dia, mas ainda se mantendo com um ganho de 0,6% na semana. O Ethereum espelhou o movimento, com uma queda de 1,5% em 24 horas, negociando um pouco acima de $2,047. Ambos permanecem presos em uma faixa estreita que definiu a ação do preço desde o colapso de 5 de fevereiro, com o empurrão de quarta-feira em direção a $70,000 marcando o limite superior e as mínimas desta semana testando o meio.

The bitcoin miner inked a deal with investment firm Starwood to convert and expand select facilities to serve data center needs for AI.
MARA Holdings shares jumped 17% after the bitcoin mining firm announced Thursday a partnership with Starwood Capital Group to build large data centers across its existing U.S. sites.
The agreement will convert select MARA locations, many of which were originally developed for Bitcoin mining, into facilities serving enterprise cloud and artificial intelligence customers.
Starwood, which manages more than $125 billion of assets, will lead design, construction and tenant sourcing through its data center arm, Starwood Digital Ventures. The partners expect to deliver about 1 gigawatt of computing capacity in the near term, with plans to scale beyond 2.5 gigawatts over time. The two firms will jointly finance and operate the projects.
The deal marks a major pivot for MARA.
The company built its reputation as a bitcoin miner, but it controls sites with direct access to large power supplies. That access has become valuable as tech firms struggle to secure power for new AI data centers.
MARA's move fits into the trend of a slew of bitcoin miners repurposing their infrastructure to meet increasing demand for artificial intelligence compute. The pivot began after Bitcoin's recent halving cut miners' rewards in half. With rising power costs, shrinking bitcoin price and intensifying competition for mining, miners' profit margins have been squeezed, forcing most firms to diversify or completely pivot into hosting machines for AI firms.
Most recently, another bitcoin miner, Bitfarms (BITF), said that it is rebranding as Keel Infrastructure as part of its pivot from bitcoin mining to data center development for high-performance computing (HPC) and AI workloads.
However, for MARA, it's not ditching its identity as a bitcoin mining company. In fact, its CEO, Fred Thiel, said in a shareholder letter that "Bitcoin remains a core pillar of MARA’s strategy."
While the timing of a recovery in bitcoin prices is difficult to predict, our long-term conviction in the asset class remains unchanged," Thiel added.
MARA has also reported fourth-quarter earnings, with revenues falling 6% to $202.3 million from $214.4 million in Q4 2024, citing a 14% decline in the average price of bitcoin mined over the quarter.

The real estate investment mogul said his firm, Cardone Capital, is exploring blockchain-based tokens for property holdings as tokenization gains traction.
Real estate mogul Grant Cardone is preparing to tokenize his firm’s $5 billion real estate portfolio, the latest property heavyweight to explore blockchain-based ownership.
In a Thursday X post, the investor said that Cardone Capital plans to tokenize its holdings to give investors "collateral and liquidity in the secondary markets." He added that the firm aims to become a market leader in tokenizing assets at scale.
Cardone Capital manages multi-family and commercial properties across the U.S. In January, CoinDesk reported that Cardone was planning to use real estate cash flow to buy bitcoin

Tokenization is attracting more and more asset managers to turn traditional assets such as bonds, funds, private credit and real estate into tokens on blockchain rails. In the case of real estate, supporters say that tokenization can streamline ownership record-keeping, trading and settlement. However, uneven regulation remains a bottleneck and thin secondary trading can limit liquidity, a report by EY pointed out.
Other real estate leaders are exploring similar paths. The Trump Organization, the real estate conglomerate of Donald Trump and his family, is tokenizing loan revenue tied to a new Maldives resort project. Barry Sternlicht of Starwood Capital, which manages over $125 billion, recently said his firm is ready to tokenize assets but faces U.S. regulatory barriers.
The tokenized real estate market remains small yet but projected to grow rapidly over the next decade. Deloitte forecasted that $4 trillion in real estate could be tokenized by 2035, growing 27% annually.

The OCC announced today that it is seeking public comment on its new proposed rulemaking for implementing the GENIUS Act.
The GENIUS Act will take effect on the earlier of 18 months after enactment, which would make it Jan. 18, 2027.
The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency is seeking feedback on its new proposal to implement the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins (GENIUS) Act.
The OCC has given thoughtful consideration to a proposed regulatory framework in which the stablecoin industry can flourish in a safe and sound manner,” said Comptroller of the Currency Jonathan V. Gould in the Wednesday statement.
The GENIUS Act, enacted in July 2025, is a landmark legislation that established the first federal regulatory framework for payment stablecoins in the U.S., setting crucial requirements for issuer eligibility, asset reserves, custody, and others.
According to the statement, the proposal covers all the regulations the OCC is required to promulgate under the GENIUS Act, while those related to other laws, such as the Bank Secrecy Act, will be addressed in a separate rulemaking.
The OCC is giving a 60-day window for feedback on the proposal.
The 376-page proposal clarifies the OCC's jurisdiction for implementing the stablecoin regulations.
The OCC stated that it will have authority over certain issuers, including subsidiaries of national banks or federal savings associations, federal qualified payment stablecoin issuers, state qualified payment stablecoin issuers, and foreign stablecoin issuers.
The proposal stipulates standards for payment stablecoin issuers that align with the GENIUS Act. This includes reserve requirements mandating at least one-to-one backing with identifiable, highly liquid assets.
Capital and liquidity requirements for issuers would be tailored "case-by-case" depending on the issuer's risk profile. It also stipulates that issuers must redeem stablecoins at par within two business days generally, and maintain a robust, "principles-based" risk management system regarding operational transitions, cybersecurity, and third-party risks.
The OCC's proposal for the landmark stablecoin bill is just one piece in a government-wide effort to implement the GENIUS Act through coordinated rulemaking by the primary regulators, with others including the Federal Reserve, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and the National Credit Union Administration.
According to the proposal, the GENIUS Act’s effective date is the earlier of 18 months after the enactment date, which would make it Jan. 18, 2027, or 120 days after the primary regulators issue final regulations implementing the Act.
