<title>$16.5B in Bitcoin options expire on Friday — Will BTC price soar above $90K?</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Bitcoin (BTC) investors are preparing for the record-breaking $16.5 billion monthly options expiry on March 28. However, the actual market impact is expected to be more limited, as BTC&#039;s drop below $90,000 caught investors off guard and invalidated many bullish positions. This shift gives Bitcoin bears a crucial opportunity to escape a potential $3 billion loss, a factor that could significantly influence market dynamics in the coming weeks.Bitcoin options open interest for March 28, USD. Source: Laevitas.chCurrently, the total open interest for call (buy) options stands at $10.5 billion, while put (sell) options lag at $6 billion. However, $7.6 billion of these calls are set at $92,000 or higher, meaning Bitcoin would need a 6.4% gain from its current price to make them viable by the March 28 expiry. As a result, the advantage for bullish bets has significantly weakened.Bitcoin bulls pray for a “decoupling” if QE restarts Some analysts attribute Bitcoin’s weak performance to the ongoing global tariff war and US government spending cuts, which increase the risk of an economic recession. Traders worry about slower growth, particularly in the artificial intelligence sector, which had driven the S&amp;P 500 to a record high on Feb. 19 before falling 7%.S&amp;P 500 futures (left) vs. Bitcoin/USD (right). Source: TradingView / CointelegraphMeanwhile, Bitcoin bulls remain hopeful for a decoupling from the stock market, despite the 40-day correlation staying above 70% since early March. Their optimism stems from the expansion of the monetary base by central banks and increased Bitcoin adoption by companies such as GameStop (GME), Rumble (RUM), Metaplanet (TYO:3350), and Semler Scientific (SMLR).As the options expiry date nears, bulls and bears each have a strong incentive to influence Bitcoin’s spot price. However, while bullish investors aim for levels above $92,000, their optimism alone is not enough to ensure BTC surpasses this mark. Deribit leads the options market with a 74% share, followed by the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) at 8.5% and Binance at 8%.Given the current market dynamics, Bitcoin bulls hold a strategic advantage heading into the monthly options expiry. For instance, if Bitcoin remains at $86,500 by 8:00 am UTC on March 28, only $2 billion worth of put (sell) options will be in play. This situation incentivizes bears to drive Bitcoin below $84,000, which would increase the value of active put options to $2.6 billion.Related: Would GameStop buying Bitcoin help BTC price hit $200K?Bitcoin bulls will have the edge if BTC price passes $90,000Below are five probable scenarios based on current price trends. These outcomes estimate theoretical profits based on open interest imbalances but exclude complex strategies, such as selling put options to gain upside price exposure.Between $81,000 and $85,000: $2.7 billion in calls (buy) vs. $2.6 billion in puts (sell). The net result favors the call instruments by $100 million.Between $85,000 and $88,000: $3.3 billion calls vs. $2 billion puts, favoring calls by $1.3 billion.Between $88,000 and $90,000: $3.4 billion calls vs. $1.8 billion puts. favoring calls by $1.6 billion.Between $90,000 and $92,000: $4.4 billion calls vs. $1.4 billion puts, favoring calls by $3 billion.To minimize losses, bears must push Bitcoin below $84,000—a 3% drop—before the March 28 expiry. This move would increase the value of put (sell) options, strengthening their position. Conversely, bulls can maximize their gains by driving BTC above $90,000, which could create enough momentum to establish a bullish trend for April, especially if inflows into spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) resume at a strong pace.This article is for general information purposes and is not intended to be and should not be taken as legal or investment advice.

<title>3 reasons why Bitcoin price can’t take out the $90K resistance level</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Since reaching a weekly high of $88,752 on March 24, Bitcoin (BTC) price has formed a series of lower highs and lower lows in the 1-hour time frame chart. As the end of the week approaches, Bitcoin price has failed to break above the $88,000 resistance, reducing the chance for a $90,000 retest before the end of Q1. Bitcoin 1-hour chart. Source: Cointelegraph/TradingViewWhat is keeping Bitcoin under $90K?One major reason for Bitcoin’s current price struggles is constant sell-side pressure from short-term holders (STHs) or investors holding coins for less than 155 days. Glassnode&#039;s “The Week On-chain” newsletter noted that the current Bitcoin cycle has witnessed a “top heavy” market where investors who purchased BTC at higher prices hold a significant portion of Bitcoin’s supply. As a result, the STH cohort have become the primary group facing the largest price drawdown since Bitcoin’s 30% correction from its all-time high. In the report, Glassnode analysts said,“Volume of Short-Term Holder supply held in loss surging to a massive 3.4M BTC. This is the largest volume of STH supply in loss since July 2018.”Bitcoin total supply in loss held by STHs. Source: GlassnodeThe selling pressure faced by the short-term holders is reflected in Bitcoin’s accumulation trend score. Bitcoin’s accumulation trend score, a metric that quantifies selling pressure, remained below 0.1 since BTC price dropped from $108,000 to the $93,000-$97,000 range. A score under 0.5 signals distribution (selling) instead of accumulation, and a sub-0.1 value highlights intense selling pressure.Another reason Bitcoin has struggled to break through the $90,000 threshold is due to the contraction of liquidity conditions. Data suggests that onchain transfer volumes have dropped to $5.2 billion daily, a steep 47% decline from the peak during the rally to all-time highs. Similarly, the active address count has also decreased by 18%, dropping from 950,000 in November 2024 to 780,000.At the same time, the open interest (OI) in the BTC futures market dropped 24% from $71.85 billion to $54.65 billion, with the perpetual futures funding rates also cooling down. This deleveraging and liquidity contraction—combined with only 2.5% of the total supply moving in profit during the correction—limits the market’s capacity to rally past $90k since there are insufficient buy orders to absorb sell orders.Related: Bitcoin price prediction markets bet BTC won&#039;t go higher than $138K in 2025New demand for Bitcoin continues to fallGlassnode data also highlighted that the current BTC bull cycle lacks new demand (buyers) entering the market, with the Cost Basis Distribution (CBD) Heatmap showing supply concentration at higher price levels ($100K-$108K) but no significant influx of buyers at lower levels to drive a price recovery. Bitcoin Euphoria Zone, Top Buyer Cost Basis. Source: GlassnodeThe lack of demand factor is compounded by macroeconomic uncertainty, which has discouraged new investors, as seen in the transition to net capital outflows when the 1-week to 1-month STH cost basis fell below the 1-month to 3-month cost basis. However, Glassnode analysts said,“The flip side of these observations is that the Long-Term Holder cohort still retains a substantial portion of the network wealth, holding almost 40% of invested value.”Essentially, these periods of prolonged accumulation can eventually constrict the supply and lead to better conditions for a new wave of demand once a stronger uptrend is established in the market.

<title>Prospective SEC chair pressed on sale of FTX&#45;tied firm</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Lawmakers in the US Senate Banking Committee questioned prospective Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) member Paul Atkins on his ties to the crypto industry and how he might regulate digital assets if confirmed.Questioning Atkins at his nomination hearing on March 27, Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren, the committee’s ranking member, said the former SEC commissioner had had “staggeringly bad judgment” in his role leading up to the 2008 financial crisis — Atkins served at the agency from 2002 to 2008. Sen. Warren also asked Atkins to disclose the buyers of his consulting firm Patomak Global Partners — which advised crypto exchange FTX before its collapse in 2022 — for transparency about potential conflicts of interest with the digital asset industry.“Your clients pay you north of $1,200 an hour for advice on how to influence regulators like the SEC, and if you’re confirmed, you will be in a prime spot to deliver for all those clients who’ve been paying you millions of dollars for years,” said Sen. Warren, suggesting Atkins’ judgment “will be influenced by more than an objective assessment of the data.”Paul Atkins addressing lawmakers at March 27 nomination hearing. Source: US Senate Banking CommitteeThe Massachusetts senator sent a letter to Donald Trump’s SEC pick on March 23, calling on him to be prepared to answer questions related to his potential role at the agency based on his ties to the crypto industry through Patomak. At the March 27 hearing, Sen. Warren asked Atkins to disclose the consulting firm’s potential buyers — he said he planned to sell the company if confirmed — who might be “buying access to the future chair of the SEC.” Atkins said he would “abide by the process” but did not directly answer Sen. Warren’s question. She suggested that the sale of Patomak could be a “pre-bribe” for the former SEC commissioner’s services.Related: Hester Peirce calls for SEC rulemaking to ‘bake in’ crypto regulationSen. Warren’s questions on conflicts of interest over digital assets contrasted with statements from Republican lawmakers like Committee Chair Tim Scott, who criticized the direction of the SEC under former Chair Gary Gensler. In his opening statement at the hearing, Senator Scott claimed Atkins would provide “long overdue clarity for digital assets.” “A top priority of my chairmanship will be to work with my fellow Commissioners and Congress to provide a firm regulatory foundation for digital assets through a rational, coherent, and principled approach,” Atkins said in a prepared statement released before the hearing. Since Trump nominated Atkins as his pick to replace Gensler as SEC chair in December, many executives in the crypto industry have offered their support. Though members of the Senate Banking Committee had not voted on Atkins’ nomination as of March 27, the SEC seems to have adopted a friendlier approach to crypto firms since Trump took office and appointed Commissioner Mark Uyeda as acting chair of the agency. Under Uyeda, the commission has dropped several investigations or enforcement actions against major crypto firms, including Coinbase and Ripple — both of which contributed to political action committees supporting candidates in the 2024 election cycle. Atkins has also disclosed millions of dollars in assets through stakes in Securitize, Pontoro and Patomak.Magazine: SEC’s U-turn on crypto leaves key questions unanswered ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ GameStop shed nearly $3 billion in market capitalization on March 27 as investors second-guessed the videogame retailer’s plans to stockpile Bitcoin (BTC), according to data from Google Finance. On March 26, GameStop tipped plans to use proceeds from a $1.3 billion convertible debt offering to buy Bitcoin — an increasingly popular strategy for public companies looking to boost share performance. GameStop’s announcement came a day after it proposed building a stockpile of cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin and US dollar-pegged stablecoins. Investors initially celebrated the news, sending shares up 12% on March 26. Shareholders’ sentiment reversed on March 27, pushing GameStop’s stock, GME, down by nearly 24%, according to Google Finance. GameStop’s stock reversed gains on March 27. Source: Google FinanceRelated: GameStop buying Bitcoin would ‘bake the noodles’ of TradFi: Swan execChilly receptionAnalysts say the chilly reception reflects fears GameStop may be seeking to distract investors from deeper problems with its business model. “Investors are not necessarily optimistic on the underlying business,” Bret Kenwell, US investment analyst at eToro, told Reuters on March 27. “There are question marks with GameStop&#039;s model. If bitcoin is going to be the pivot, where does that leave everything else?”The sell-off also highlights investors’ more bearish outlook on Bitcoin as macroeconomic instability, including ongoing trade wars, weighs on the cryptocurrency’s spot price. Bitcoin is down around 7% year-to-date, hovering around $87,000 as of March 27, according to Google Finance.Bitcoin’s “price briefly jumped to $89,000 but has now reversed its trend,” Agne Linge, decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol WeFi’s head of growth, told Cointelegraph.

They are crooks, and I expect the SEC to do something about it,” the Senator continued.Reports emerged in January that SBF’s parents, Joseph Bankman and Barbara Fried, were seeking a pardon for their son from recently-elected US President Donald Trump following his high-profile pardon of Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht.Paul Atkins answers questions at his nomination hearing.

<description><![CDATA[ US Senator Ted Cruz introduced a bill on March 26 to prohibit the Federal Reserve from issuing a central bank digital currency (CBDC). The “Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act,” would prohibit the Fed from offering certain products or services directly to American individuals, a key component of any CBDC.The Texas Republican’s bill can be considered a companion bill to Minnesota Republican Representative Tom Emmer’s anti-CBDC legislation, which was reintroduced on March 6. A companion bill is a piece of legislation that is similarly or identically worded to another bill, and introduced in the other chamber of Congress.Both bills state that the prohibition should not include any dollar-denominated currency that is open, permissionless, and private and “preserves the privacy protections of United States coins and physical currency.” Sen. Ted Cruz’s anti-CBDC bill. Source: Ted CruzSince 2020, the Federal Reserve has been exploring a digital version of the US dollar. According to the CBDC Tracker, at least four research projects are currently underway by various Federal Reserve entities.Cruz has been a vocal opponent of CBDCs since at least 2022, when he introduced legislation that would ban the Fed from introducing a direct-to-consumer CBDC. He followed it up with similar legislation in 2023, and in 2024 sought to block the attempt by then-President Joe Biden’s administration to create a CBDC.Emmer said at a congressional hearing that “CBDC technology is inherently un-American” and warned that allowing unelected bureaucrats to issue a CBDC “could upend the American way of life.”Related: North Carolina Senate overrides governor veto, passes bill banning CBDCCritics denounce CBDCsWhile CBDCs have some purported benefits, critics of the technology have long said that digital currency issued directly to citizens could pose privacy infringement and government overreach.However, some nations and regional governments are still exploring this technology. While European consumers show little interest in CBDCs, lawmakers in the region are pushing to create a digital Euro. Israel has released a preliminary design to create a digital shekel, and Iran will reportedly launch a CBDC in the near future.In the US, the creation of a CBDC has been met with more resistance. President Donald Trump has vowed to “never allow” a CBDC in the country, and Jerome Powell, the chair of the Federal Reserve, has said that the Fed will not issue a CBDC while he is in charge.Though CBDCs could modernize legacy financial systems and make them more efficient, they would also centralize the money supply.Magazine: Asia Express: India mulls new crypto ban to support CBDC, Lazarus Group strikes again ]]></description>
