Bitcoin surged on Wednesday to a one-month high, moving higher alongside other safe-haven assets as conflict continues to rage in the Middle East. The cryptocurrency also took support from U.S. President Donald Trump’s calls for better regulatory support for the cryptocurrency industry.

Bitcoin jumped 6% to $71,867 by 10:02 ET (15:02 GMT) after trading in a tight range in recent weeks.

The move also comes as demand for U.S.-listed spot bitcoin ETFs has picked up after several weeks of choppy trading that weighed on crypto market momentum.

Spot bitcoin ETFs in the U.S. saw roughly $225 million in net inflows on March 3, following about $458 million the previous day, with no funds recording net outflows on March 2, according to SoSoValue data.#robo $ROBO

Changpeng Zhao, the former Binance CEO, has commented on the recent development regarding Strategic Bitcoin Reserves that individual U.S. states are currently working on.

He also made a major statement about Bitcoin, likening it to such profound inventions as money and the internet.

"There is no escape" from Bitcoin
The cofounder of Binance commented on the news about Montana passing a bill that suggests creating a local Bitcoin reserve and moving it to the voting stage. CZ cited a tweet by Dennis Porter, the CEO and cofounder of the Satoshi Action (WA:ACT) Fund.
According to that tweet, Montana has become the fourth state to pass the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve question out of committee and onto a House floor vote. The other three are Utah, Oklahoma and Arizona.

CZ tweeted that financial institutions and retail investors can start buying Bitcoin now, or after the U.S. federal government and all of its states have finished buying: “You can buy bitcoins after the US government is done buying, or before.” CZ is certain that “there is no other choice.”

When responding to a comment under his tweet, he added that “there is no escape,” and he likened Bitcoin to the internet and money, saying that just as it is impossible not to use them, it will be impossible to avoid using BTC in the future: “There is no escape... It's like, you can't not use the internet (or money).”

CZ receives his BNB donation back and a lot more

A day earlier, the influencer tweeted to stress the importance of donation-making in crypto to help others in disasters. However, he said, an unexpected thing happened to him – he received his donation back, plus more crypto on top of it.

Following the shameless rugpull and a scandal around the LIBRA coin that was briefly endorsed by the Argentine president, CZ donated 150 BNB to victims who lost their money in that pump-and-dump scheme. That amount of crypto was worth roughly $100,000 at the time of the initiated transaction.

U.Today - The start of 2025 brought an unexpected twist for BlackRock (NYSE:BLK)'s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) as investors pulled out a whopping $332.6 million in just one day, which is equal to 3,413 BTC. This is the biggest withdrawal from the ETF since it launched, bigger than the $188.7 million anti record, which happened in the last decade of December.

A top ETF analyst Eric Balchunas from Bloomberg reacted to the historical anti record with a more "glass half full" approach, claiming that these pullbacks are to be expected and are long overdue.

He also said that Bitcoin ETFs probably won't keep growing so fast, and while the amount of money that left might have caught some by surprise, it's just a sign that things are shifting. It's like taking a breather on a journey where you have been moving forward consistently, from an expert's point of view.

The timing of these outflows lines up with a developing story in Bitcoin's price dynamics. There is a pattern on the charts that looks like a "head-and-shoulders" shape, and if it breaks below the $92,000 neckline, it could take the price to as low as $70,000 per BTC.

The details still tell a different story as IBIT ended 2024 on a strong note, pulling in over $37 billion in inflows over the year. Its Ethereum equivalent, ETHA, also got a lot of attention, raking in $3.53 billion.

These ETFs helped solidify BlackRock's spot as a major player in institutional crypto investment, with Bitcoin holdings worth about $53 billion and Ethereum at almost $3.7 billion. But even the best of these funds can be affected by market cycles.$BTC

U.Today - The calm of Sunday morning was shattered today by a sudden massive Bitcoin (BTC) shift. According to a report by Whales Alert, 8,427 BTC, equivalent to $818.69 million, were shifted between two unknown wallets.

If the recipient's wallet under the address "bc1q5x" is indeed unknown and has never been used, the sender's wallet has some links that may reveal the real owner behind it. As Arkham Intelligence's data shows, the address "bc1qe9" has previous ties to alleged Fortress Trust — a major custodian.

Interestingly, the company was on the verge of being acquired by Ripple last year, but the deal was called off. Whether this colossal amount of Bitcoin belongs to Fortress Trust or their former client is unknown. What is known is that such large transfers always have a ripple effect on the market and its participants.

Big moves like this don't usually go unnoticed, and for good reason. They tend to cause major market swings, especially on days when there's not a lot of trading activity. When there's less liquidity, even just the possibility of a follow-up move can make things more volatile.

When you see a transfer this big, especially outside of centralized exchanges, it's got to be more than just your everyday trading.

The implications? It is not something you can just ignore. These transfers are rarely just random. They are probably a sign of something bigger, like a strategic move, a change in the way big institutions are working together, or maybe even a new push into the market.

These are the times when the market participants love to speculate, but the answers are still unclear.$BTC

U.Today - In a recent tweet, Robert Kiyosaki, the author of the popular book on managing finance “Rich Dad Poor Dad,” investor and entrepreneur, raised the topic of Bitcoin, U.S. government spending and the Fed Reserve.

He also made an important warning to the financial markets as to how he sees their nearest future.

Best assets to park your money in per Kiyosaki
Kiyosaki got on his hobby-horse right from the start, saying that he does not trust the "US Givernment" (hinting at the excessive spending over the past few years), the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve. He added that he stopped trusting the government back in 1965, when he took notice that U.S. “silver coins were now alloys of cooper.”
Kiyosaki also reminded his readers about president Nixon removing the gold standard that had been used to back the U.S. dollar until then: “Nixon took the US dollar off the gold standard.”

It was then, the financial expert revealed, that he began to “save” gold, silver, and these days he is saving Bitcoin.

Today, he said, “the best assets for your money are real gold, silver, and Bitcoin.”

Bitcoin to $350,000 in 2025, Kiyosaki believes
Earlier this week, Robert Kiyosaki made a bold prediction, saying that he expects the world’s flagship cryptocurrency Bitcoin to skyrocket to $350,000, largely thanks to the new U.S. president who supports crypto and intends to build a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve for the U.S. in the next few years.
So far, he has recommended that the community should start accumulating Bitcoin in parts, buying Satoshis, since one single BTC back then was worth more than $106,000. After that BTC soared above $108,000. From Tuesday to Friday, Bitcoin plummeted by 15%, falling from $108,380 to $92,640 on the news of the Fed Reserve planning to reduce its dovish policy and make a much smaller interest rate cut next year. By now, Bitcoin has managed to recover 7%, rising to $99,150. $BTC

This year, the correlation between the cryptocurrency market and traditional finance is more entrenched than ever before. This was largely due to the introduction of Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) exchange-traded funds, the arrival of BlackRock (NYSE:BLK), VanEck, Fidelity and many other giant financial institutions to the market.

On the one hand, the market has seen a great leap in adoption, but on the other hand, its independence and originality have noticeably decreased, and the movements of a number of cryptocurrencies are repeating the performance of key stock market indices. We mean the U.S. stock market, of course.

Now, in anticipation of the opening of the U.S. market, one can often see large movements of cryptocurrencies, mainly the same BTC and ETH. Sometimes, however, these transfers cause more excitement than most.

For example, in the last hour, such a surprise was caused by the transfer of 1,762 BTC, which is equivalent to almost $180 million, as well as 20,467 ETH, equal to about $75.46 million.

Such moves from unknown wallets to centralized exchanges are causing excitement among crypto market participants, due to the fact that they are considered a harbinger of an imminent sale by a major player.

Whether that is the case here is an open question. Nevertheless, right now, the price of Bitcoin is not falling, but even on the contrary is cheerfully green by more than 2.1%, which is very impressive for an asset with a capitalization of more than $2 trillion. The price of Ethereum is also trading in the plus side since the opening of the trading day.$BTC

Cryptocurrency platforms lost $2.2 billion in 2024, from hacking, a jump of 21% from last year, according to Chainalysis.

This marks the fourth consecutive year losses have exceeded $1 billion, with incidents rising to 303 from 282 in 2023.

The surge comes as bitcoin soared 140% this year, surpassing $100,000 and attracting institutional investors and support from U.S. President-elect Donald Trump.

"As the digital asset market booms, it is typical to see the illicit use of crypto grow in tandem," Chainalysis' cybercrimes research lead Eric Jardine said.

Most stolen funds resulted from private key breaches, primarily targeting centralized platforms. Major hacks included $305 million from Japan's DMM Bitcoin in May and $235 million from India’s WazirX in July.

North Korea-linked crypto theft hit a record $1.3 billion in 2024, more than doubling from last year, the report said. The UN has previously stated that cryptocurrency helps North Korea evade sanctions, a claim the country denies.$BTC
