📈Macro Cryptocurrency News

• The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) dropped lawsuits or investigations against six major crypto entities (Coinbase, Uniswap, Robinhood, OpenSea, Consensys, Gemini) and MetaMask, signaling a regulatory shift, via a new Crypto Task Force.

• The new Crypto Task Force is set to host its inaugural roundtable later this month, kicking off a series of discussions.

  • The event, titled “How We Got Here and How We Get Out – Defining Security Status,” is scheduled for later this month. This roundtable is the first in a series dubbed “Spring Sprint Toward Crypto Clarity.

• President Donald Trump unveiled plans for a U.S. “strategic crypto reserve” over the weekend, specifically naming five cryptocurrencies (BTC, ETH, SOL, ADA, and XRP).

  • The announcement, tied to Trump’s vision of the U.S. as a crypto hub, sparked debate—some called it a bailout after Bitcoin’s 18% February drop (worst since June 2022), while others saw it as a retail trader boost.

• Only two days after Trump’s “strategic crypto reserve” announcement, over $1 billion in crypto long and short positions were liquidated, driven by a market sell-off linked to his latest tariff announcements. 

• The White House announced that President Trump will host a cryptocurrency summit today. 

  • David Sacks, the White House Crypto and AI Czar, and Bo Hines, executive director of a digital assets working group, will oversee the event, with Trump scheduled to deliver remarks at the summit.

• The U.S. Senate voted to repeal an IRS rule requiring decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols to report to the agency.

  • This is a nice win for the crypto space, as it reduces regulatory burdens and boosts DeFi optimism. 

• ETHDenver, the world’s largest Ethereum-focused #BUIDLathon (formerly hackathon), took place last week.

  • It featured keynotes, panels, and the #BUIDLathon with up to $1M in sponsor bounties and $10M in potential grants/investments. Notable speakers included Ethereum co-founder Joe Lubin and NEAR Protocol’s Illia Polosukhin. 

• BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, has incorporated its iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) into its model portfolio offerings for the first time.
