Stablecoin holdings on South Korean cryptocurrency exchanges have plummeted since July of last year, CoinDesk reported. The value of stablecoins in wallets associated with the country's five largest exchanges—Upbit, Bithumb, Coinone, Korbit, and Gopax—fell from $575 million in July 2025 to $188 million this March. The report attributes the decline to an accelerating capital outflow as the won-dollar exchange rate surpassed 1,500. CoinDesk explained that retail investors are increasingly converting dollar-denominated assets like stablecoins into won to move funds into the domestic stock market. This capital flight has been further encouraged by the won's depreciation. As a result, liquidity in the local crypto market is weakening, with any future return of funds likely depending on the performance of South Korean stocks.

Based on current Bitcoin mining difficulty and electricity costs, some mining rigs have reached their break-even price. According to data from Antpool, the Antminer S19XP+Hyd, MicroBT M60S, Avalon A1466I, and some Antminer S21 series models have entered a marginal profitability zone. The break-even price for Bitmain's S21Pro and S21+Hyd models is estimated to be approaching the $65,000 to $69,000 range. In contrast, high-hashrate equipment such as the Antminer US23H and S23Hyd maintain a relatively lower break-even price above approximately $44,000. The mining industry continues to face growing profitability pressure due to the combined impact of rising mining difficulty and the burden of electricity costs.

The parents of FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) strongly asserted their son's innocence in an interview with CNN. They argued that since customers are being repaid their principal plus 18% to 43% in interest through the bankruptcy trust, no funds were actually lost. His parents claimed the money was always there and that FTX was a profitable company with billions of dollars in surplus assets. They also defended the transfer of customer funds to its affiliate, Alameda, as routine borrowing. They characterized the prosecution as a political attack by the Trump administration aimed at destroying cryptocurrency, emphasizing that their son would be a great asset to the economy if released. While they are currently pressuring President Donald Trump for a pardon, Trump has reportedly excluded SBF from his list of potential candidates for clemency.
