Coinbase says #Bitcoin has begun outperforming U.S. equities on a risk-adjusted basis over the past week.
After months of macro pressure and geopolitical shocks hitting global markets, $BTC is starting to show relative strength versus the S&P 500 and Nasdaq.
Several things are shifting at the same time: 📈 U.S. labor data is starting to cool 📈 Crypto market participation is picking up again 📈 Institutions may revisit Bitcoin’s role as a portfolio diversifier
Coinbase says this could mean markets are moving past “peak pessimism.”
It’s still early, but if participation continues to improve, Bitcoin’s relative outperformance could be the first signal the market is turning.
The amount of #Bitcoin sitting on exchanges has dropped to its lowest level since late 2017, according to new on-chain data.
That matters because coins held on exchanges are typically the most liquid supply -- the $BTC most likely to be sold.
Right now the trend is the opposite.
Investors have spent the last several years withdrawing Bitcoin from exchanges into cold storage and institutional custody, reducing the amount of BTC immediately available for sale.
Several factors are driving it: 📊 Spot Bitcoin ETFs absorbing supply 📊 Institutional custody solutions growing 📊 The “not your keys, not your coins” shift after past exchange failures
The result: less liquid Bitcoin on the market, and historically, when exchange supply trends down for long periods, it often tightens sell-side liquidity during rallies.
$BTC DEBATE ERUPTS: BORIS JOHNSON CALLS BTC A “PONZI,” KWASI KWARTENG FIRES BACK
In a striking column published on March 13, 2026, former UK PM Boris Johnson labeled Bitcoin as worthless, comparing it unfavorably to Pokémon cards. He argued that Bitcoin lacks intrinsic value, relying on a 'greater fool' theory. Johnson's critique was met with a swift rebuttal from former Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng, who emphasized that #Bitcoin is based on 'mathematics and open-source code' rather than central promises. Michael Saylor and X Community Notes further clarified Bitcoin's free-market nature.
This clash is not just a debate on Bitcoin's legitimacy but also highlights a wider gap in understanding crypto among global leaders. Could this be the beginning of a broader movement questioning Bitcoin's place in the financial world?
The outcome of this debate may shape future discussions on cryptocurrency regulation and adoption.
WHITE HOUSE AI CZAR SOUNDS ALARM ON IRAN CRISIS AND MARKET FALLOUT
David Sacks, serving as the White House AI and crypto advisor, has issued a public call for diplomatic de-escalation with Iran. This comes as global markets struggle with heightened uncertainty and oil prices that have climbed over $100 per barrel—a notable 30% increase since early October.
Sacks warns of the catastrophic risks to Middle Eastern infrastructure, noting that further conflict could severely impact oil, gas, and desalination facilities. Such developments could render parts of the Gulf region nearly uninhabitable.
His comments highlight a rare public dissent within the White House, indicating a strategic divide on how to address Iran. While some advisors push for continued military action, Sacks and others advocate for a negotiated settlement to avoid a catastrophic scenario.
