A U.S. federal court in California has certified a class-action lawsuit filed by Nvidia investors over allegations that the company concealed its cryptocurrency mining revenue, Cointelegraph reported. The investors allege that Nvidia misled shareholders by downplaying the share of its GPU sales attributable to mining demand during the crypto boom between 2017 and 2018. The court approved the suit by certifying a class of investors who purchased the company's stock during that period. The ruling does not make a judgment on the legality of Nvidia's actions.

Bitcoin's fluctuation within a trading range for nearly 50 days may be a mid-term correction rather than a bearish pattern, according to an analysis by CoinDesk. The report noted that since hitting a low of $60,000 in early February, BTC has been trading sideways between $65,000 and $75,000. While some have interpreted this as a bear flag—a temporary rebound within a downtrend—CoinDesk argues this is unlikely. Bear flags are typically short-term patterns that lead to further declines within a few days, which does not match the current prolonged situation. The analysis suggests the nearly 50-day range-bound movement is a classic "directionless phase," where sellers are not in full control and buyers are not actively pushing prices higher. Therefore, the recent price action should be reinterpreted as a mid-term correction rather than the start of a full-blown bear market. Furthermore, the report highlights that over 600,000 BTC have been accumulated within this range, indicating a stronger supply and demand foundation compared to previous cycles.

Hash price, a metric for the expected daily revenue per unit of hash power, fell to $28 last month, its lowest level since the halving, according to an analysis by CoinShares. Cointelegraph reported on CoinShares' first-quarter mining report, which found that worsening profitability has pushed miners with older equipment or high electricity costs below their break-even points. Approximately 20% of miners are now operating at zero profitability. The report also suggested that if Bitcoin's price weakness persists, the retirement of inefficient mining rigs could slow the growth of the network's hashrate.

MicroStrategy (MSTR) has effectively led corporate Bitcoin accumulation over the past 30 days, purchasing approximately 45,000 BTC, according to an analysis by CryptoQuant. CoinDesk, citing the analysis, reported that other Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) firms bought just 1,000 BTC during the same period. As a result, MicroStrategy's holdings now account for about 76% of the total BTC held by corporations. The report noted that the recent sharp decline in buying from DAT firms suggests that the anticipated expansion of institutional demand may be faltering.

Crypto analyst and YouTuber Benjamin Cowen has warned that another sharp drop in Bitcoin's price could be imminent, arguing that recent price movements resemble the 2022 bear market. Speaking on his YouTube channel on March 25, Cowen noted that despite Bitcoin's historical tendency to perform well in March, the current trend is more bearish. He pointed out that Bitcoin has failed to reclaim its 21-week moving average and has simply experienced another decline. Cowen suggested that the next leg down could arrive much sooner than many anticipate, emphasizing that relying solely on the Relative Strength Index (RSI) to call a bottom is an incomplete analysis. A comprehensive review of on-chain metrics suggests that BTC has not yet found its floor, he added.

The Polygon (POL) community has submitted a governance proposal to distribute half of validator revenue to stakers. The core of the proposal is to regularly pay 50% of priority fees—the revenue earned by validators—to stakers, while distributing the remaining 50% more evenly among small and medium-sized validators. Priority fees are the additional costs paid to block producers when demand for block space is high.

Kim's post had promoted a token sale website for a project named 'LAMB276,' stating the funds would be used to build churches around the world.

Noted Bitcoin skeptic and gold bull Peter Schiff has argued that the U.S. banking industry's lobbying power remains superior to that of the crypto sector. He predicted that this influence will result in stablecoin issuers being legally barred from paying interest within the United States. Schiff noted that while issuers would retain all interest income for themselves under such a rule, the ability to pay interest would have attracted a much larger customer base. He added that this situation provides another reason for investors to hold gold tokens, or tokenized gold. The comments come as both the banking and crypto industries are engaged in a lobbying competition over provisions related to stablecoin interest in a market structure bill, known as the Clarity Act, which is currently pending in the U.S. Congress.

Bitcoin is holding relatively firm despite the war in the Middle East and a surge in oil prices, but some indicators suggest its upward momentum could be stalling, CoinDesk reported. The Coinbase Premium is currently at its lowest level in a month, signaling a relative weakening of demand from U.S. investors. Additionally, inflows into spot ETFs, which represent institutional demand, have fallen short of expectations. While spot ETFs recorded a net inflow of $1.53 billion in March, breaking a previous trend of outflows, the pace of these inflows has slowed sharply recently. The analysis concluded that more sustained and powerful inflows are necessary for Bitcoin to regain its upward momentum.
