The finalization of a unified government-ruling party bill for South Korea's Digital Asset Basic Act, which covers stablecoins, is expected to be delayed, Edaily reported. A key party-government consultation session will not be held this week due to stock market instability caused by the war in the Middle East. This creates an unavoidable setback for the national agenda to finalize the stablecoin legislation by March. The Digital Asset Basic Act is a comprehensive bill covering the entire virtual asset ecosystem, including issuance, circulation, disclosure, and listings.

Conflict within the Bitcoin community is intensifying over Bitcoin Improvement Proposal (BIP) 110, which seeks to limit the recording of data from protocols like Ordinals and Runes on the blockchain, U.Today reported. Blockstream CEO Adam Back has voiced strong opposition, arguing that consensus-level transaction censorship poses a greater threat than spam. He warned that such a measure could render existing UTXOs unusable, effectively freezing user funds, and also pointed to the risk of a network split. According to Back, activating a soft fork with a lower threshold of 55% instead of the traditional 95% could cause the blockchain to fragment. The debate over BIP-110 is now seen as a crucial test for the future of Bitcoin's censorship resistance and decentralized governance.

Address poisoning scams have seen a sharp increase since Ethereum's Fusaka upgrade in December 2025, CryptoPotato reported. This type of attack involves scammers planting a fake address, nearly identical to a user's real one, in the victim's transaction history to trick them into copying and pasting it for a future transfer. Etherscan analysts noted that the Fusaka upgrade improved network scalability and lowered fees. This has reduced the cost of dust transfers—sending minuscule amounts of crypto—allowing attackers to execute address poisoning attacks with much greater frequency.

Gnosis co-founder Dr. Friederike Ernst has warned that the Clarity Act risks handing control of the cryptocurrency sector to large financial institutions, Cointelegraph reported. She pointed out that the bill is currently designed with a structure that prioritizes centralized intermediaries. While acknowledging positive aspects, such as clarifying jurisdiction between the SEC and CFTC and protecting peer-to-peer transactions and self-custody, Ernst argued that the legislation fails to sufficiently protect open, permissionless blockchain rails and DeFi protocols. This, she cautioned, could lead to importing the same points of failure from the traditional financial system into the crypto space. Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong has previously voiced his opposition to the bill, arguing that having no legislation is better than passing a bad one. Meanwhile, Alex Thorn, head of research at Galaxy, has stated that if the Clarity Act is not passed by April, its chances of becoming law this year are extremely low.

Venus Protocol lost $3.7 million over the weekend in a supply cap attack involving the THE token, Cointelegraph reported. The attacker first acquired 84% of THE's total market capitalization and then used the tokens as collateral to borrow large quantities of CAKE, USDC, BNB, and BTC. In response, Venus Protocol has suspended borrowing and withdrawals for THE and has also temporarily halted these functions for other low-liquidity tokens on the platform.

Veteran trader Peter Brandt has analyzed that a channel pattern similar to one seen in the past is re-forming on the Bitcoin chart. Sharing a relevant chart, he noted that a familiar pattern is taking shape once again. According to Brandt, the same channel pattern previously formed before BTC's price fell to around $60,000. The emergence of a similar structure now raises the possibility of significant volatility, either to the upside or downside.

Strategy would need to purchase approximately 6,158 BTC every week to reach its goal of holding 1 million BTC by the end of 2026, CoinDesk reported. Assuming a Bitcoin price of $85,000, this would require a weekly expenditure of around $523 million, totaling approximately $22.2 billion. The company currently holds 738,731 BTC and needs to acquire an additional 261,269 BTC to meet its target. Strategy purchased 17,994 BTC last week alone and has already secured about 64,948 BTC since the start of 2026. Since initiating its Bitcoin accumulation strategy in 2020, the company has bought an average of roughly 10,700 BTC per month.

A Chainlink (LINK) whale that had been dormant for over a year has deposited approximately 200,000 LINK to Kraken, according to analyst ai_9684xtpa. The analyst noted that the deposit is worth $1.8 million, based on an average price of $8.98 per token. This whale reportedly accumulated the LINK between March 2018 and June 2019 at an average price of $0.3283. A sale at current prices would represent a profit of about $1.73 million, a return of approximately 2,635%. On-chain data suggests that this deposit has nearly cleared out the wallet's entire LINK holdings.

The U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has introduced a new crypto transaction reporting form, 1099-DA, starting this year, which could complicate the tax season for 2025 transaction earnings, The Block reported. The new form establishes a reporting system where exchanges submit user crypto transaction data to both investors and the IRS. However, exchanges are only required to report gross proceeds from asset sales and will not provide cost basis information, which is the actual purchase price. This means investors must calculate their own cost basis to report their actual profits and losses. Lawrence Zlatkin, vice president of tax at Coinbase, explained that the tax filing process this year could be confusing for many investors because the 1099-DA only reports gross proceeds. The reporting burden is expected to be particularly heavy for investors using multiple exchanges and wallets, as well as for users who have engaged in DeFi transactions or received staking rewards, as they will need to reconstruct their transaction records themselves. Shehan Chandrasekera, head of tax strategy at CoinTracker, said it is nearly impossible for DeFi investors using multiple wallets and exchanges to settle their taxes manually. The tax filing process is expected to become simpler for transactions starting in 2026, as the system will be expanded to require exchanges to report both gross proceeds and cost basis to the IRS.

Analyst Doctor Profit has argued that XRP is currently "criminally undervalued," The Crypto Basic reported. He explained that XRP's monthly Relative Strength Index (RSI) has fallen to around 43, a level similar to the bear market bottom in 2022. Doctor Profit noted that in the past, when the monthly RSI reached this range, a price bottom was established, followed by a rebound, suggesting the current level could be a potential buying opportunity. XRP is currently trading at around $1.39, down approximately 24% this year. However, some market participants have raised the possibility of a further short-term decline to under $1, suggesting potential for increased volatility.

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong has endorsed billionaire investor Stanley Druckenmiller's optimistic outlook on stablecoins, U.Today reported. Armstrong shared an interview with Druckenmiller, stating, "Druck is right." Previously, in an interview with Morgan Stanley, Druckenmiller predicted that the global payment system would become heavily reliant on stablecoins within the next 10 to 15 years. He emphasized that blockchain-based assets could solve the speed and cost issues inherent in traditional payment systems. Market analysts note that stablecoins are increasingly viewed as a potential cornerstone of international remittance and payment infrastructure, owing to their fast settlement times, low transaction fees, and price stability.

XRP community influencer Arthur has alleged that recent price movements in the token are the result of organized manipulation, The Crypto Basic reported. He claimed that a pattern has emerged eight or nine times since February where XRP rallies to a key resistance level before the U.S. stock market opens, only to drop sharply immediately after. Arthur noted that despite positive news, including multi-billion dollar mergers and acquisitions and ETF inflows, XRP remains roughly 44% below its recent high and faces strong selling pressure on every breakout attempt. While some interpret this activity as profit-taking and liquidity shifts coinciding with the U.S. market open, Arthur countered that the pattern is too precise and repetitive to be a coincidence.

The market capitalization of USDC has climbed to approximately $79.2 billion, nearing its all-time high of $80 billion, Cointelegraph reported. The stablecoin's circulating supply has expanded rapidly in recent weeks, driven by growing demand, particularly in the Middle East. Dubai-based analyst Rami Al-Hashimi suggested that fears of war are causing capital flight from the region, with investors shifting from traditional holdings to stablecoins. He added that a roughly 27% drop in Dubai real estate prices this month has further accelerated this shift to digital assets.

Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson stated on his social media that he has long suspected Bitcoin is a giant Ponzi scheme, adding that he is now hearing tragic stories that make him fear he was right. He outlined several issues with Bitcoin, including the absence of a central authority like a central bank, a lack of intrinsic value, its sole reliance on trust, and high costs such as complex fee structures.

Binance Wallet has announced that the participation limit for the Katana (KAT) Prime Sale is set at 3 BNB per user. Users will be able to claim a KAT Key on the BSC network after the pre-token generation event (Pre-TGE) phase concludes. The actual KAT tokens are scheduled to be airdropped to users' Binance Alpha accounts on the day of the token generation event (TGE).

Balaji Srinivasan, former chief technology officer at Coinbase, has called for the development of more crypto-based tools for refugees and stateless people. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Srinivasan argued that the number of refugees and stateless individuals is unfortunately set to increase across all social classes. He described cryptocurrency as being inherently suited for crisis situations, noting that public blockchains are designed to resist data center attacks, hacking, and network shutdowns. Srinivasan added that stablecoins have already reached mass adoption in the crypto space and are having a tangible global impact, including new gold-backed stablecoins, and that more can be done to help.

Nasdaq-listed mining firm Bitdeer sold all the Bitcoin it mined this week. The company announced that it mined 158.8 BTC and subsequently sold the entire amount. Bitdeer has maintained its strategy of holding zero BTC since February.

Coinbase is in talks to acquire an equity stake in Bybit as part of a plan to facilitate the latter's entry into the U.S. market, Wu Blockchain reported. The deal would reportedly value Bybit at around $25 billion, a figure comparable to the valuation OKX received when it was backed by Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). Bybit has not yet released an official statement on the matter.

Noted Silicon Valley investor and Bitcoin advocate Tim Draper predicted on a recent TV program that declining trust in fiat currency will ultimately drive businesses and consumers to Bitcoin. He argued that people will grow tired of watching the value of one dollar drop to 90 cents, then 80, and then 70, before eventually plummeting toward zero. Once that tipping point is reached, Draper continued, businesses will quickly reconsider their payment methods. He added that if he were a retailer, his first move would be to post a sign accepting Bitcoin.

U.S. House Financial Services Committee Chairman French Hill said in an interview with Fox Business that the proposed CLARITY Act will be key to resolving outstanding issues from the GENIUS Act. He emphasized that a bipartisan agreement has been reached on the principle that stablecoins should not pay interest. Hill added that ensuring equal treatment for both bank and non-bank issuers is a key goal, noting that detailed rules on interest payments will be addressed through regulations from the Treasury Department.
