Stablecoins, Not Bitcoin, Extend US Dollar Hegemony, Chinese Economist Warns
A Chinese economist, Zhang Ming, argues that U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoins, not Bitcoin or Ethereum, are strengthening the U.S. dollar’s global dominance. Dollar-Pegged Stablecoins Bolstering Dollar’s Global Role According to Zhang Ming, deputy director of the Institute of Finance and Economics at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoins, not bitcoin ( BTC) or […]Trump’s Terrifying Tariffs

A new government outlook may bring crypto firms back to the United States after years of regulatory confusion.
Once, long ago, cryptocurrency companies operated comfortably in the US. In that quaint, bygone era, they would often conduct funding events called “initial coin offerings,” and then use those raised funds to try to do things in the real and blockchain world.
Now, they largely do this “offshore” through foreign entities while geofencing the United States.
The effect of this change has been dramatic: Practically all major cryptocurrency issuers started in the US now include some off-shore foundation arm. These entities create significant domestic challenges. They are expensive, difficult to operate, and leave many crucial questions about governance and regulation only half answered.

Gold has been accepted as money for thousands of years and does not suffer from geopolitical or inflationary risks, unlike fiat currency.
Gold-backed stablecoins will outcompete US dollar-pegged alternatives worldwide due to gold’s inflation-hedging properties and minimum volatility, according to Bitcoin (BTC) maximalist Max Keiser.
Keiser argued that gold is more trusted than the US dollar globally, and said governments of foreign nations with an adversarial relationship to the United States would not accept dollar-pegged stablecoins. The BTC maximalist added:
The potential for gold-backed stablecoins to outcompete dollar-pegged tokens in international markets would upend plans to extend US dollar dominance through stablecoins proposed by US lawmakers.

As fears of a prolonged trade war set in, investors fear a protracted downturn in risk assets and the end of the crypto bull market.
The current Bitcoin (BTC) bear market, defined as a 20% or more drop from the all-time high, is relatively weak in terms of magnitude and should only last for 90 days, according to market analyst and the author of Metcalfe’s Law as a Model for Bitcoin’s Value, Timothy Peterson.
Peterson compared the current downturn to the 10 previous bear markets, which occur roughly once per year, and said that only four bear markets have been worse than the price decline in terms of duration, including 2018, 2021, 2022, and 2024.
The analyst predicted that BTC will not sink deeply below the $50,000 price level due to the underlying adoption trends. However, Peterson also argued that based on momentum, it is unlikely that BTC will break below $80,000. The analyst added:

Crypto markets will be pressured by trade wars until April: Analyst
Global tariff concerns are “the biggest driver” for both crypto and traditional markets, Nansen analysts told Cointelegraph.
Global trade war concerns will pressure both cryptocurrency and traditional markets until at least the beginning of April, but the potential resolution may bring the next big market catalyst.
Bitcoin’s (BTC) price fell over 17% since US President Donald Trump first announced import tariffs on Chinese goods on Jan. 20, the first day after his presidential inauguration.
Despite a multitude of positive crypto-specific developments, global tariff fears will continue to pressure the markets until at least April 2, according to Nicolai Sondergaard, a research analyst at Nansen.
Crypto VC giant targets $1B for new funds, expects oversubscription — Report
Haun Ventures is reportedly targeting $500 million less than its significant funding round in 2022, citing different conditions in the cryptocurrency market.
Venture capital firm Haun Ventures is reportedly looking to raise $1 billion for two new crypto-related investment funds within the next three months.
If successful, $500 million will be allocated to early-stage crypto investments, while the remaining $500 million will go toward late-stage crypto investments, people familiar with the matter told Fortune Crypto on March 21.
The VC firm, founded by former Coinbase board member and federal prosecutor Katie Haun in 2022, reportedly did not aim for the $1.5 billion it raised in its highly praised funding round in 2022. It cited different market conditions as the reason for the lower target.
