✅ ARK Invest’s Cathie Wood noticed that BTC should be considered a new asset class, one that may even serve as a reserve currency in the near future. She said: “You think about the traditional 60/40 stock-bond portfolio, but look what’s happening to bonds right now. If we are ending a 40-year secular decline in interest rates, that asset class has done its thing. What’s next? We think crypto could be the solution”.
✅ Cryptoсurrency fraudster robbed 3 500 victims of over $16 million in crypto. He has pleaded guilty.
✅ In a Bloomberg interview, Jesse Powell, co-founder and CEO of Kraken predicted that BTC could reach $1 million in the next decade and replace the major fiat currencies. “We can only speculate, but when you measure it in terms of dollars, you have to think it’s going to infinity”. He also added: “The true believers will tell you that it’s going all the way to the moon, to Mars and eventually, will be the world’s currency”.

⚡️According to a newsletter published by a cryptocurrency metrics platform Glassnode on Monday, Bitcoin miners gained a record-breaking revenue up to $52.3 million per day on average.
But Glassnode’s charts showed that on a day-to-day basis, miners' profits have boosted significantly higher on March 14. For example, the current all-time high of Bitcoin miners’ daily profit was $64.7 million.
⚡️As Cointelegraph reported, BTC is now worth more than Visa and Mastercard combined. The biggest cryptocurrency surpassed financial giants by market capitalization. At its all-time highs of $61,700, the market cap of Bitcoin was roughly $1.15 trillion. The combined market cap of JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China is $1.08 trillion.
And that’s not all: Visa and Mastercard, have a combined market cap of $871 billion. This sum is now significantly less than Bitcoin.
⚡️European financial authorities published a report “Trends, Risks and Vulnerabilities”. They analyzed the impact of COVID-19 on the financial industry. They warned about the increased risks linked with investment in cryptocurrencies.
The authorities mentioned that crypto assets faced a massive rise in value and trading volumes during the second half of 2020. They noticed that it was driven by positive news (for example, PayPal implemented buy and sell options for cryptocurrencies). Moreover, the interest was fuelled “by strong investor demand and search for yield amid unprecedented global fiscal and monetary stimulus”.
