As bitcoin prices drift languidly southward, and the machines begin to take their sweet time birthing blocks, our dear protocol does what it must: it adjusts. And lo! This adjustment appears to be one of noticeable proportions. Estimates indicate that the impending adjustment on March 20 could drop between 6% and 8.5%, with a current projection waltzing around a tidy -7.64%.
$3,000,000,000.
A new TVL all-time high for RWAs on BNB Chain.
Higher and higher.
Wednesday was a real barn-burner for oil markets, with Brent and WTI prices doing their best impression of a rocket launch. The U.S.-Israel-Iran war has turned the Strait of Hormuz into the world’s most expensive choke point, and suddenly everyone’s nostalgic for $60 oil. Enter Trump, wielding a Jones Act waiver like a magic wand, because nothing says “crisis management” like temporarily ignoring a law that’s older than sliced bread.
The market, ever the shrewd observer, prices in a high probability that the Federal Reserve will cling to its 3.50% to 3.75% interest rate range like a miser to his gold. Yet, the true drama lies in the Statement of Economic Projections (SEP), a document as cryptic as a Soviet five-year plan. Inflation, that fickle mistress, presents a mixed picture, her whims dictated by the volatile energy sector. Chairman Jerome Powell, the high priest of monetary policy, will deliver his oracle’s decree, and the market shall tremble. Dovish or hawkish?

The severity of the move, however, has triggered serious concern about PIPPIN’s near-term recovery prospects. Good luck with that, folks. The chart had been screaming at you for months, and you chose to ignore it. What a tragedy.
In the grand theatre of crypto, it was reported by the ever-watchful crypto.news that on this fine day of March 18, the price of Uniswap sank by 3.8%, much to the dismay of its faithful adherents. The token’s aspirations dashed against the hard rocks of resistance at $4.20, which stood firm like an old oak tree despite the relentless winds of change.
Notably, the research showed that the next phase of crypto growth won’t be fully centralized or fully decentralized. It will be built on infrastructure that combines the strengths of both.
The spot price, a fickle weather vane, spun toward optimism, but the derivatives market hummed with deeper secrets. Arab Chain, a prophet of CryptoQuant, scribbled in the dirt with a crypto stick: the 30-day open interest shift told a tale of traders rearranging their tents in the desert of speculation. Not fleeing, no-just shifting camp chairs, as if the sand had grown comfortable.
Leverage, once a roaring lion in mid-2025, now slinks like a sated cat, its ratio on Binance languishing near 0.17. The mid-2025 crescendo, where it flirted with 0.6, fades into memory-a deleveraging ballet, where traders curtsy to caution after their speculative waltz.
