📊 Market Snapshot: March’s 4.4% Pullback
March 2025 saw the total crypto market cap slip 4.4% amid choppy macro winds. The Fed held rates steady for a second meeting—keeping risk appetite muted—while fresh U.S.–Canada/Mexico tariff spats sparked roughly US$1 billion in liquidations across derivatives desks.
Despite the dip, regulators moved forward:
The GENIUS Act cleared the Senate Banking Committee with bipartisan backing
The OCC green‑lit banks to custody digital assets
These milestones hint at clearer rules and a smoother path for mainstream crypto adoption.
