Digital asset investment products have recently recorded their earliest weekly outflow in 5 weeks. In this respect, the digital asset funds have undergone a huge $414M outflow. As per the new report from CoinShares, the investor sentiment has declined because of the extended Iran conflict as well as the Federal Open Market Committee’s (FOMC) inclination toward likely rate hikes. So, the total assets under management (AuM) dropped back to $129B. Global Digital Asset Outflows Hit $414M, Ethereum Leads In line with the on-chain data, the outflow of nearly $414M from digital asset funds is the 1st instance in the past…

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson addresses fresh criticism from the $XRP community over his lack of support for Ripple during its legal battle with the SEC. Amid his continued criticism of the Clarity Act and Ripple’s backing of the bill, Hoskinson pushed back against claims that he ignored Ripple’s legal struggles. Key Points Charles Hoskinson stressed that he publicly opposed the U.S. SEC lawsuit against Ripple. He added that Ripple did not need financial backing, as its large pre-mined $XRP holdings, valued at billions of dollars, already provided the resources to fund its legal defense. Hoskinson argued that Ripple is not…

Nearly half of Pump.fun traders lost money in March as viral on-chain data exposes how few wallets meaningfully profited from Solana’s memecoin frenzy.

When combined, about 96% of all wallets either finished the month in the red…

Ethereum ($ETH) price is trading above $2,000 as March prepares to close with its first green monthly candle since August 2025, potentially snapping a six-month losing streak. However, how March closes could set the tone for April and even the rest of 2026. Historically, April has been a solid month for $ETH with average gains of 18% and a median of roughly 9%. Yet the 3-day chart, on-chain conviction, and whale behavior all suggest the path into April carries more risk than seasonality would imply. A Six-Month Red Streak May End, but the 3-Day Chart Warns Ethereum price has not…

On Tuesday, March 19, the SEC issued joint guidance with the CFTC to “finally” provide clarity about how the securities laws apply to digital assets. On many issues, including staking and meme coins, the SEC’s new guidance is a welcome development and a marked improvement from the Gensler days. It also rightly acknowledges that the agency’s “regulation by enforcement” campaign under Chair Gensler had muddied compliance obligations and stifled the industry. But in important ways, the guidance stops short of the full course correction the crypto industry needs. The biggest shortcoming is the SEC’s articulation of the Howey test for…

Charles Hoskinson, founder of the Cardano and Midnight blockchains, said crypto has spent more than a decade solving the wrong problems and failing to break into the real-world economy. “The question I’ve been asking for eight years is: why didn’t the revolution happen?” Hoskinson asked. His answer is Midnight, a project in which he invested roughly $200 million. The network went live on Monday, Midnight told CoinDesk. Midnight is a blockchain built within the Cardano ecosystem, designed to fix what Hoskinson described as crypto’s core design flaws by making it private, simple and safer to use. Rather than competing with…

According to data from crypto.news, Ethereum ($ETH) price rose 2.5% to an intraday high of $2,058 at the last check on Monday, March 30.

Crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs) faced a difficult week, with bitcoin and ether posting heavy outflows. Smaller assets showed mixed resilience, with $XRP attracting modest inflows.
