Personal news: I’m joining @GSR_io as Head of Content and Special Projects. I’ve covered crypto since 2017, always drawn to market structure and how institutions shape this space. What started with bitcoin futures has evolved into a truly institutional market with real liquidity, access, and regulatory clarity. Now I get to help tell that story from the inside.

New report from Fidelity Digital Assets suggests bitcoin’s classic four-year cycle may be breaking down. What’s happening: • Volatility falling even as prices hit new highs • ETFs + public companies now hold ~12% of BTC supply • Market metrics show far less speculative excess Example: the Puell Multiple — which compares the value of BTC mined today vs the past year’s average miner revenue — has stayed near ~1 this cycle, far below the spikes seen at prior market tops peaks

40% of Robinhood’s assets are now in passive products. @vladtenev expects that share to grow over time. “One thing the market underappreciates is how diversified this business has become. Crypto was sub-20% of our revenue. While we are a big player in crypto, we are a diversified financial business.” Source: CNBC

Interesting report from Finery Markets: In 2025, crypto spot OTC volumes grew 109% YoY, while the top-20 CEXs grew just 9%. Historically these markets tracked closely. Last year they diverged sharply as institutions increasingly favored off-exchange execution.

Let me put this another way: The US economy has LOST jobs since April 2025. Total job gains since from May 2025 to February 2026 are now -19,000. Companies are not hiring in the face of all of these headwinds and uncertainty. And even healthcare is starting to slow down.
Heather Long@byHeatherLong

JUST IN: A dismal February jobs report. The U.S. economy LOST 92,000 jobs in February and the unemployment rate ticked back up to 4.4%. Even healthcare shed 28,000 jobs in February. December was also revised down to -17,000. January was revised to 126k. Unemployment rate: 4.4% —> highest since December (and one of the higher rates in past few years) Wage growth: 3.8% (well above 2.4% inflation)

Citadel Securities: “The real bet isn’t on SaaS collapsing, it’s on identifying which incumbents consolidate and which new AI entrants break through. The underappreciated risk to AI isn’t competition or model commoditisation – it’s energy.” Chart shows sharp increases in electricity and industrial metal costs tied to data-center buildout.
