⚡️ NEW: Bitcoin Quantum has launched testnet v0.3 with the first live deployment of BIP 360, a quantum-resistant upgrade for Bitcoin.

🐳 Bitcoin's amount of whale wallets with 100 or more $BTC has increased by +753 wallets in the past 3 months (+3.9% in total). In this same time period, its market value has dropped by -20.2%. 🤔 If you truly believe crypto is all going to $0, the continued confidence being shown by key stakeholders should at least make you reconsider your theory. This is just one of many bullish divergences showing in our on-chain data currently while short-term prices continue their volatility.

BITCOIN PULLED BACK, BUT THE STRUCTURE IS GETTING STRONGER After the FOMC, BTC did what markets usually do -- a quick move up, then a reversal as rate cut hopes faded and Powell leaned cautious. Short term, that’s macro doing its thing. Higher yields, energy pressure, less liquidity expectations -- risk assets feel it. But look under the surface, exchange reserves keep dropping, which means less BTC available to sell. At the same time, ETF holdings are rising -- meaning institutions are still accumulating, even during the pullback. That divergence matters. Price is reacting to macro but supply is getting tighter. We’ve seen this setup before. Weak hands rotate out, stronger hands step in, and structure quietly improves while sentiment stays shaky. It’s the market digesting macro while long-term demand keeps building underneath. 📸: XWIN Research Japan

THE SEC JUST MADE IT SIMPLE FOR CRYPTO 🚨 The SEC just released new guidance explaining how crypto is classified -- and it’s a lot clearer now. Here’s the simple version -- most crypto assets are NOT securities. They fall into categories like digital commodities, collectibles, tools, and payment stablecoins. Only one type is considered a security: tokenized versions of traditional assets like stocks or bonds. SEC Chair Paul Atkins said it himself -- the confusion is over, and the agency is no longer trying to regulate everything. This matters because for years, nobody knew where the line was. Now there’s finally a clear framework and when the rules are clear, it’s easier for institutions, builders, and capital to come in.

THE BIGGEST ASSET ROTATION IN FINANCIAL HISTORY IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW. 🚨🚨🚨 BITCOIN IS EATING GOLD ALIVE AND NOBODY IS READY FOR WHAT COMES NEXT Gold was up 77% last year. It was THE trade. Every institution wanted it. Then the Iran war started. And capital said: actually, we want Bitcoin now. Gold ETF GLD lost 2.7% of assets. Bitcoin ETF IBIT gained 1.5% of assets. In the same week. JPMorgan confirmed it. Gold was $5,595 in January. It just broke BELOW $5,000. Bitcoin just hit $73,000. The old world is losing.
