The number of active daily Ethereum ($ETH) addresses has declined dramatically over the past month or so, signaling a sharp cooldown in on-chain participation. To be specific, the figure hasdropped from 1,329,193 on February 7 to 746,062 on March 3, marking a roughly 45% decline, as specified by data Finbold retrieved from Etherscan. How drastic the change has been is evident in the fact that February 7 levels were close to the record number of 1,420,187 active $ETH addresses recorded on Friday, December 9, 2022. Naturally, the decline comes amid persistent price weakness and reflects the broader market’s struggle to…

Bitcoin slid back toward $67,000 in Sunday trading as trade uncertainty resurfaced, with investors weighing fresh tariff escalation against a shifting legal backdrop in the U.S. BTC was trading around $67,526, down about 1.4% over the past 24 hours and roughly 2.1% on the week. The move follows President Donald Trump’s decision to raise the worldwide tariff rate to 15% from 10%, despite a recent Supreme Court ruling that invalidated earlier emergency trade measures. The court’s decision had briefly appeared to limit Washington’s ability to deploy sweeping tariffs ahead of Trump’s planned March 31 visit to Beijing. Instead, the administration…

Lawyers for Chen Zhi, the Chinese-born businessman behind Cambodia-based Prince Holding Group, accused of links to global scam operations, have filed a motion in US federal court challenging the government’s seizure of 127,271 Bitcoin associated with him, according to a new report from Bloomberg. In October 2025, the US Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York and the Justice Department’s National Security Division filed a civil forfeiture case to seize the Bitcoin stash connected to the Prince Holding Group. Prosecutors tied the funds to alleged “pig-butchering” scams and other illicit activities connected to Chen and his Prince Holding…

Coinbase is the most regulated, most publicly accountable cryptocurrency exchange in the world. It was the first crypto company to list on a major stock exchange (Nasdaq, April 2021), the first crypto-native company to join the S&P 500 (May 2025), holds $516 billion in customer assets, and operates under stricter regulatory oversight than any other exchange in its class. It is also, by most measures, the most expensive major exchange to use — and not always the most feature-rich for experienced traders. That tension defines Coinbase: maximum trust, maximum accessibility, maximum compliance — at a premium price. Whether that trade-off…

Nuclear power is gaining renewed attention in the United States as artificial intelligence and data center expansion drive demand for reliable, large-scale electricity. According to the latest Miner Weekly newsletter from TheEnergyMag, recent annual filings suggest that major utilities and power producers believe the United States may be entering a “nuclear renaissance.” The publication cited recent annual filings showing that utilities are linking the revival to long-term power contracts with AI hyperscalers such as Microsoft, Amazon and Meta Platforms. Rather than relying solely on renewable energy credits to offset emissions, some hyperscalers are now backing entire nuclear facilities to secure…

Ethereum price is up 2.7% over the past seven days, yet down 1.8% in the last 24 hours, trading near $1,960. While modest, this move arrives alongside two consecutive weeks of positive Ethereum ETF inflows: a pattern that has historically preceded rallies (or bounces), depending on how you see them. A developing bullish RSI divergence on the daily chart adds further weight to the case that an Ethereum price recovery may be forming. ETF Flows Flash A Familiar Signal, And RSI Divergence Backs It Up Ethereum spot ETF flows have turned positive for two consecutive weeks after a prolonged stretch…

The new trade agreement being negotiated between the European Union and the United States may be suspended due to uncertainty in Washington. Bernd Lange, a leading trade official in the European Parliament, stated that the ratification process of the agreement could be halted until the “chaos surrounding Trump’s tariffs” is clarified. Lange stated that the “Turnberry Agreement,” a text developed through negotiations between the EU and the US under Ursula von der Leyen, would not be advanced in the European Parliament until clear and binding legal guarantees regarding US trade policy were provided. This stance came after the US Supreme…

Stablecoin users won’t benefit from any government guarantee of their money when the new U.S. law is implemented to govern these tokens, said Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC) Chairman Travis Hill. He also specified that the ban will include protections known as “pass-through insurance” in which financial firms obtain the government protections on behalf of customers. The Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins (GENIUS) Act that’s being implemented now by U.S. markets and banking regulators included a ban on FDIC insurance for holdings of stablecoins, the tokens such as Circle’s USDC and Tether’s USDT that are designed to…
