The current state of affairs finds BTC languishing at around $70,668, approximately 40% shy of its lofty zenith. Bernstein, however, insists that this correction is merely a fleeting “crisis of confidence,” akin to a momentary lapse in judgment rather than a cataclysmic collapse of fundamental principles. Ah, how we love to romanticize our follies!
Bitcoin (BTC) dipped to around $69,600 after briefly reaching nearly $71,000 earlier in the day, mirroring a general decline in riskier investments. Other cryptocurrencies like Ether (ETH), Solana (SOL), and XRP also saw price drops of 2-3% over the last 24 hours.
But fear not! Bernstein’s got its eyes on the prize, highlighting that ETF inflows are steady-like my Aunt Mildred at the buffet-and institutional demand is rising faster than a balloon animal at a children’s party! With the macro pressures easing up, they’re holding onto their $150,000 year-end target for 2026 like it’s the last slice of pizza at a frat party.
Apparently, their strategy is to keep hitting up the equity markets like a guy at a bar with a never-ending credit card. Buy Bitcoin, rinse, repeat. Genius? Or just really, really stubborn?
Tether’s Chief Financial Officer, Simon McWilliams, announced that a major accounting firm – one of the ‘Big Four’ – was chosen after a thorough selection process. He explained they selected this firm because Tether already follows the high standards expected of these top firms, and the audit will now proceed.
Ethereum’s little frolic above $1,800 is hardly an isolated incident; nay, it hides a certain peculiarity beneath its surface, much like a well-placed joke in a dull dinner conversation. On-chain data had the audacity to alert the astute before the majority of traders could be bothered to look up from their screens.
Jurrien Timmer, Fidelity’s resident macro maestro, waved his hands and proclaimed the recent selloff a “mild winter,” as if crypto were a garden that just needs a bit of pruning. Bitcoin, he noted, had its moment in the sun at $126,000 before tumbling to $60,000-a 50% drawdown that he insists is just the asset growing up. “No more 80% crashes,” he said, with the confidence of a man who’s never met a black swan. “Spring is nigh,” he added, though whether he meant the season or a new crypto bull run remains as clear as a troll’s bathwater.
Cathie, who clearly missed her calling as a fortune teller, believes that as more people adopt Bitcoin, we might just see it strut its stuff on the world stage. Who knew crypto would be the diva of the financial world?
Circle, the company that created the USDC stablecoin, recently asked the European Commission to revise its cryptocurrency regulations. In a submission on March 20, 2026, as part of the feedback process for the Market Integration Package, Circle suggested updates that would modernize Europe’s financial system and strengthen its capital markets. According to Circle, clearer rules would make it easier for financial institutions to adopt and utilize digital assets.
That’s right! This marks the fifth year in a row that this London-based neobank is laughing all the way to the bank (pun intended) with 68.3 million retail customers across 40 markets! Who knew banking could be so… profitable?
