Most Americans Oppose the Creation of a Crypto Reserve

A recent survey conducted by Data for Progress reveals that a majority of Americans are not in favor of establishing a national cryptocurrency reserve. According to the poll, 51% of respondents opposed the idea, while only 34% supported it. The remaining 15% were undecided.

Support for the initiative varies significantly along party lines. Among Republicans, opinion is nearly split: 41% are in favor, while 40% oppose it. In contrast, Democrats show stronger opposition, with 59% against the proposal and only 29% in support.

These findings suggest that while digital assets continue to gain traction, the concept of a government-backed crypto reserve remains highly controversial among U.S. citizens.

North Korean Hackers Convert Stolen ETH to Bitcoin, Amassing $1.12 Billion

The infamous North Korean hacker group Lazarus, responsible for the recent Bybit hack, has been converting stolen Ethereum (ETH) into Bitcoin (BTC).

According to data from Arkham, their total Bitcoin holdings have now reached 13,562 BTC, valued at approximately $1.12 billion.

At this pace, North Korea has effectively positioned itself among the top five nations globally in terms of Bitcoin reserves. This highlights the growing role of cybercrime in the country’s economy, as well as the increasing use of crypto assets for illicit financial activities.

Lazarus has a long history of high-profile cyberattacks, making them one of the most feared hacker groups in the crypto space.

CZ: 99% of Crypto Traders Will Lose to Bitcoin Holders

Former Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) shared his perspective on the crypto market:
• 99% of participants will lose even to simple Bitcoin holding.
• 4% will actively trade or build projects but still fail to outperform BTC.
• To reach the top 1%, “extraordinary efforts” are required.

In response, crypto influencer EmperorBTC commented that CZ could have just pumped Bitcoin—whether legally or illegally. He added that if anything went wrong, CZ had already survived prison once and could do it again.

CZ’s statement underscores the resilience of Bitcoin and the challenges faced by traders trying to beat the market. Holding BTC, as history suggests, remains one of the most reliable long-term strategies.

Solana to $3,800 Soon?

Crypto analyst Ali has spotted a classic “cup and handle” pattern forming on the SOL chart. If this bullish setup plays out, Solana could surge to $3,800, setting a new all-time high.

However, at the moment, SOL remains under pressure, trading around $130. To confirm its upward momentum, the price must break through key resistance levels and sustain a strong bullish trend.

Investors are closely watching the market, but for now, Solana is far from its ambitious target. Whether it reaches $3,800 remains uncertain, as such a rally would require a significant influx of liquidity and strong fundamental support.

Hackers Triggered a Pump of TRUMP Token

The X (Twitter) account of the well-known crypto news aggregator DB was hacked, leading to the spread of false information about the TRUMP meme token. The attackers posted a fake announcement claiming that the token would soon have “real value,” sparking a surge in market activity.

Following the post, TRUMP’s price skyrocketed by 20% as traders rushed to buy in, believing the news to be true. However, once the platform regained control and issued an official statement debunking the claim, the token’s value quickly corrected itself, returning to its previous level.

This incident once again highlights the vulnerability of social media to market manipulation and the risks of impulsive trading.

SEC Delays Decision on Crypto ETFs

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has once again postponed its decision on exchange-traded funds (ETFs) tied to Solana, XRP, Litecoin, and Dogecoin. While the regulator has not provided a clear explanation, analysts believe the delay is linked to the fact that Paul Atkins has yet to be appointed as SEC chairman.

Now, investors shouldn’t expect any decisions before April 4, 2025. This prolonged uncertainty affects market sentiment, as the approval of crypto ETFs could bring significant institutional inflows and impact asset prices. Many in the crypto community remain in suspense, closely watching the SEC’s next steps and hoping for regulatory clarity in the near future.

Since Donald Trump’s inauguration in 2025, the U.S. stock market has lost $4 trillion, marking one of the most significant downturns in recent history. Investors are increasingly concerned about economic instability, political uncertainty, and potential shifts in trade policy.

While some analysts expect stabilization as the economy adjusts to new policies, others fear that the decline may continue, leading to prolonged volatility.

Ripple Tried to Get XRP Into the U.S. Crypto Reserve via Solana

Ripple Labs reportedly lobbied the Trump administration to have XRP included in the official U.S. crypto reserve. The company sought government recognition of its token, which could have significantly boosted its legitimacy and adoption.

To strengthen its case, Ripple proposed adding Solana (SOL) alongside XRP, hoping that Solana’s growing reputation would make XRP appear more credible in the eyes of regulators. However, the initiative never gained traction, and XRP remained outside any official U.S. reserves.

This attempt highlights Ripple’s long-standing efforts to secure institutional acceptance, despite its ongoing legal battles with the SEC over the token’s regulatory status.

David Sacks: The U.S. Sold 195,000 BTC for Pennies

Prominent venture investor David Sacks has revealed that over the past decade, the U.S. government sold off 195,000 BTC, generating just $366 million in revenue. These bitcoins were seized in various operations, including the takedown of the infamous Silk Road marketplace.

However, if the government had held onto them, their value today would be around $17 billion. Despite Bitcoin’s massive price appreciation, U.S. authorities continue to liquidate confiscated assets rather than retain them as long-term investments. This strategy has drawn criticism from crypto investors who view Bitcoin as one of the most valuable assets in the world

Kiyosaki Calls Those Who Sold Bitcoin During the Recent Crash “Losers”

Renowned investor, entrepreneur, and author of the best-selling book Rich Dad, Poor Dad, Robert Kiyosaki has sharply criticized those who sold their Bitcoin during the latest market downturn, calling them “losers.”

According to Kiyosaki, the real winners are those who took advantage of the dip and accumulated more BTC. He believes that when Donald Trump starts buying Bitcoin to help address what he calls America’s “financial insanity,” the value of the cryptocurrency will skyrocket.

Kiyosaki has long been a vocal advocate of Bitcoin, gold, and silver, urging people to hedge against the instability of traditional financial systems.

Ethereum Reserves on Exchanges Drop to 9-Year Low, Signaling Potential Market Bottom

The amount of Ethereum held on centralized exchanges has nearly reached a nine-year low, fueling investor optimism about a potential market bottom that could pave the way for a recovery toward the psychological $3,000 level.

On February 18, Ethereum reserves across all exchanges dropped to 18.95 million ETH—the lowest level since July 2016, when the cryptocurrency was trading around $14. This decline suggests that investors are moving their holdings to private wallets for long-term storage, a sign that often precedes price increases.

This phenomenon, known as a “supply shock,” occurs when growing demand meets a dwindling available supply, often triggering a price rally. With fewer ETH tokens available for trading, bullish momentum may be building, potentially setting the stage for Ethereum’s next upward move.

Rapper Ye, Formerly Known as Kanye West, to Launch YZY Token

Rapper Ye, previously known as Kanye West, is set to release his own token, YZY, named after his fashion brand Yeezy. The move comes as a way to bypass platforms that severed ties with him due to his controversial anti-Semitic rhetoric, including Shopify. This news was reported by CoinDesk, citing sources close to the project.

The launch was revealed by Ye’s alleged financial director, Hussein Lalani, who sent the information to CoinDesk from the email address yeezy.com. Later, three sources connected to the project confirmed the authenticity of the document.

The token distribution is planned as follows: 70% will go directly to Ye, 10% will be allocated for liquidity, and 20% will be for investors. According to the YZY press release, Ye’s 70% share in the tokens is structured through a multi-phase vesting schedule, where a portion of the tokens will be locked for up to 12 months, making them unavailable for sale during that period.

Critics argue that such insider-focused distributions give founders an unfair advantage over retail investors.

Bitcoin Is Only Bought by Dying Companies — Bloomberg

Stagnating companies are increasingly following the example set by Michael Saylor of MicroStrategy, using corporate and borrowed funds not for business development but to purchase cryptocurrency in an attempt to attract investors, according to Bloomberg.

Analysts warn that if the market collapses, such companies could face the risk of insolvency due to the loans they took out to buy Bitcoin. The growing trend of corporations investing in digital assets, rather than improving their core operations, raises concerns about the long-term sustainability of this strategy.

While Bitcoin remains a popular investment choice, it brings significant risks to businesses that rely on borrowed funds to acquire it.

SBF Criticizes Biden and Seeks Pardon from Trump

Additionally, SBF claimed that FTX faced a liquidity crisis rather than bankruptcy and could have repaid its customers. However, according to him, lawyers forced him to file for bankruptcy, delaying payouts and creating a negative public image.
