Prediction Market

The ECB clearly challenges one of the founding narratives of modern crypto. In practice, several major DeFi protocols remain concentrated in the hands of few, especially when looking at actual governance rather than just marketing talk. This is the gist of the working paper published this week, which observes a strong concentration of governance tokens and voting power on Aave, MakerDAO, Ampleforth, and Uniswap.

The key signal is simple: billions of dollars in ETH are leaving exchange platforms. In this case, this movement affects both OKX and Binance, two heavyweights of the market. For crypto, this kind of massive withdrawal is not just a technical detail. It changes the structure of the supply available for sale.

Crypto advances this time on concrete ground. Monument Bank, a regulated British bank, plans to tokenize up to 250 million pounds sterling of retail deposits on Midnight, a blockchain developed within the Cardano ecosystem. This partnership places Cardano in a rarely reached area by crypto projects: that of regulated banking use, with real deposits, real regulation, and a clear commercial application.

Predictive markets are establishing themselves as a new indicator of international tensions. On Polymarket, millions of dollars are engaged to anticipate the outcome of the conflict between the United States and Iran. This activity occurs while negotiation signals are emerging between Washington and Tehran. The evolution of probabilities, coupled with the reactions of financial markets, offers an insight into investors' expectations in the face of a conflict whose outcome remains uncertain.

Robinhood does not just talk about growth. The company puts money back into its own stock. With a new 1.5 billion dollar buyback program, it sends a clear signal to the market: it believes its stock still deserves capital.

Bitcoin net outflows from exchange platforms send a fairly clear signal: a portion of the market is still buying, then withdrawing their BTC instead of leaving them available for sale. This movement alone does not announce an immediate surge. However, it shows that the current phase looks more like patient accumulation than mere speculative agitation.

In the crypto sphere, Strategy does not slow down. Michael Saylor's company has just expanded its funding reserve to continue buying bitcoin, even in a market less comfortable than a few months ago.

The prediction market enters a less free zone. Behind the talk of crypto innovation, Kalshi and Polymarket are beginning to look a bit more like traditional financial platforms, with more control, increased surveillance, and less tolerance for gray areas.

Bitcoin shows a more constructive signal: large holders sell less, while miners are still slowing their sales despite increasing pressure.

The market is starting to test the strength of Bitcoin's rebound again. Prediction platforms Polymarket and Kalshi now assign a strong probability to BTC dropping below 55,000 dollars in 2026, while US spot Bitcoin ETFs plunge back into the red. Such a sequence revives doubts about the strength of the rebound.

Gold sends a more contrasted signal than it appears. Behind the classic image of a safe haven, the market today shows a clear divide between retail investors who continue buying via ETFs and institutions who have started to lighten their positions.

The campaign is easy to understand and worrying in its mechanics: developers linked to OpenClaw were targeted on GitHub with the promise of $5,000 in $CLAW tokens, before being redirected to a fake site designed to make them connect and then drain their crypto wallets. OX Security documented the operation, and the OpenClaw project itself eventually publicly reported the scam.

Mastercard no longer just watches the wave of stablecoins. The group now wants to position itself at the heart of this new financial plumbing. With the announced acquisition of BVNK for an amount that could reach 1.8 billion dollars, the payment giant sends a simple message: the battle for crypto payments will not only be played on tokens but on the infrastructure that connects traditional money and blockchain.

Bitcoin holds its breath before one of the most sensitive macro appointments of the month. This Wednesday, March 18, 2026, the Federal Reserve must announce its monetary policy decision at 2:00 pm Eastern Time, before Jerome Powell's press conference at 2:30 pm. For the crypto market, the stakes go far beyond a simple central bank formality. The next moves of the dollar, bond yields, and risk appetite are decided within minutes.

The crypto market reopened the week with a brutal move. Bitcoin surpassed 73,000 dollars on March 16, while Ether regained the 2,200 dollar zone. At the same time, nearly 300 million dollars of short positions were liquidated within 24 hours, which accelerated the rise.

Bitcoin regains strength as the rest of the market moves with much more hesitation. Amid geopolitical tension in the Middle East, the asset is having its best week since September 2025. This movement is not only based on a technical rebound. It also relies on the return of institutional flows and on a dynamic that is beginning to distinguish bitcoin from other major assets.

The Ethereum Foundation has just monetized a small part of its reserve. The operation remains limited in volume, but it says a lot about the Foundation's new financial discipline and the rise of crypto treasury companies.

The Bitcoin market is changing its face. This time, the driving force does not come from a simple speculative rally, but from the rising power of publicly traded companies accumulating BTC in their treasury. According to Adam Back, this group could soon absorb up to ten times the newly mined daily supply. The idea may seem extreme. However, it is based on a mechanism already visible in the market.

American spot Bitcoin ETFs have just sent a signal that the market had been waiting for several weeks. For the first time in 2026, they have recorded five consecutive sessions of net inflows. During this sequence, about $767 million were absorbed by these products, marking a visible return of institutional demand for bitcoin.

Bitcoin does not necessarily lack strength. What it mainly lacks is a clear signal. According to Glassnode, this signal comes from a simple yet incredibly useful indicator: the share of bitcoins held by short-term investors still in profit. As long as this gauge remains below 50%, the idea of a sustained rebound remains fragile.

Tether has restarted the engine. The issuer of the market's first stablecoin created 1 billion dollars in USDT on Tron, a move that brings the crypto liquidity issue back to the center of the game at a time when geopolitical tensions are already shaking global markets.

The scenario seems huge. However, Bitwise argues that a bitcoin at 1 million dollars does not necessarily imply total dominance over gold. According to Matt Hougan, the company's chief investment officer, bitcoin would only need to capture about 17% of the global store of value market within ten years to reach this symbolic threshold.
