New research dispels a widespread misconception about the ubiquity of bitcoin (BTC) ownership in the US. Despite the prevalence of BTC and its ETFs, a majority of assets in domestic brokerages still avoid the currency. Many BTC investors mistakenly believe the era of its exclusion from Wall Street has ended. Indeed, after the January 2024 Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approval of BTC spot ETFs and a 2025 endorsement from the CEO of Blackrock itself, over 1.1 million coins are already trading on US exchanges via spot ETFs. As these ETF custodians have gobbled up over 5% of BTC’s supply, the average person might be under the impression that any US resident can buy it or its listed proxies. Many brokerages claim to allow customers to buy the currency or its spot ETFs. In reality, however, the vast majority of assets under management at major brokerages are not flowing into BTC. Beyond low allocations and a preference for other types of diversification, many US...

A Dogwifhat (WIF) crypto influencer has announced that investors of the Las Vegas Sphere WIF fundraiser will be refunded and that the whole Sphere project is essentially dead in the water.  The X (formerly Twitter) post published by “GamesMaster.wif” was shared by Dogwifhat’s official  X account. It claimed that the WIF sphere refund would begin on April 1, April Fool’s day.  GamesMaster, aka Edward, detailed the various mishaps that led to the Sphere collabs’ ultimate demise. First, Edward claims the crypto news outlet Decrypt “spooked” its fashion partner that was going to collaborate on a sphere promotion.  Indeed, Decrypt reported on January 31 that Dogwifhat would not appear on the Sphere and that there was never a deal to do so, according to a Las Vegas Sphere spokesperson.  @dogwifcoin x @SphereVegas update: Contributions are being refunded. Those who sent from a CEX will need to manually submit proof to receive their refund. I know it...

Trump’s IRS DeFi tax repeal has gained quite a bit of momentum after the Senate recently voted 70-28 to overturn a controversial tax rule targeting decentralized finance. President Trump is expected to sign this resolution pretty soon, eliminating reporting requirements that were established during the final days of the Biden administration. The rule would have essentially forced DeFi platforms to operate just like traditional securities brokers, and many in the industry were concerned about its implications.

The cryptocurrency industry was painted green yet again. While several assets were recording a slight uptick, assets like Dogecoin (DOGE) and Shiba Inu (SHIB) were pocketing double-digit gains. Meanwhile, fairly new cryptocurrencies like SUI did not fall behind. The altcoin was up by over 8%.

The latest market trend has been volatile and rather bleak. While several assets have been experiencing slight upticks, they were struggling to carry it forward. After a rather challenging month, certain cryptocurrencies were picking up. The world’s largest meme cryptocurrency Dogecoin (DOGE) is certainly one among them.

White House is scaling back tariffs as the Trump administration is shifting toward a more targeted approach for its April 2 implementation. This change has boosted Bitcoin prices and also helped ease some of the economic uncertainty in crypto markets lately.

Shiba Inu (SHIB) has underperformed the wider cryptocurrency market since the start of the year. However, a recent development concerning the token’s exchange reserves could herald the beginning of a move to the upside. Despite once being one of the most popular meme coins, in recent years, it has become significantly overshadowed by Dogecoin (DOGE).  As a response, the project has shifted its focus toward utility — and while positive developments abound, this has failed to translate to an upward motion on the price chart. At press time, SHIB was changing hands at a price of $0.00001251, with a 1.48% pullback on the weekly chart bringing year-to-date (YTD) losses up to 42.25%.
