What's important about the past 24 hours
Bloomberg: Polymarket will go online with 500 binary options
ChainCatcher NewsAccording to Bloomberg, Polymarket, a chain-based forecasting market platform, plans to add binary rights-based products to the Standard 500 index (S& P 500), allowing users to bet on the “up” or “down” direction of index prices。
ChainCatcher, according to official sources, Strategy spent about $1.28 billion last week on 17,994 BTCs, at an average price of about $70,946。
As at 8 March 2026, Strategy held 738,731 BTCs at a total cost of approximately $560.4 billion, or an average cost of approximately $75,862。
THE 20 MILLION BITCOIN HAS BEEN DUG AND THE BLOCK SUBSIDY IS CURRENTLY 3.125 BTC
ChainCatcher, according to CloverPool Bitco browser data, after the birth of the founding block in January 2009 in Bitcoin, 17 years and more than two months ago, the network has crossed one of the most important milestones, and now has a supply of 20 million。
THIS MILESTONE WAS REACHED AT THE HEIGHT OF BLOCKS 939,999, WITH THE CURRENT BLOCK SUBSIDY OF 3.125 BTC。
PRIOR TO NOVEMBER, THE NETWORK HAD SURPASSED 95 PER CENT OF TOTAL SUPPLY. AS THE NETWORK HAS BEEN REDUCED BY HALF OVER TIME, THE PACE OF NEW ISSUANCE HAS SLOWED, AND LESS THAN 1 MILLION BTCS ARE CURRENTLY AVAILABLE FOR THE REMAINING DIGIBLE BLOCK SUBSIDIES UNTIL THE MINERS ARE ULTIMATELY FULLY DEPENDENT ON TRANSACTION FEES。
The next halving is expected on 11 April 2028. As each halving further reduces distribution, the remaining supply will be released at an increasingly slow pace. Analysts estimate that the final 1 million will take more than a century to finish, and the smallest unit is expected to be released around 2140。
Bitmine raised 60,976 last week. ETH, Tom Lee reaffirms the current end of the Bear
ChainCatcher reports that, according to official sources, Bitmine announced today that it held a total of US$ 10.3 billion in encrypted currency, cash and “high-risk high-return investment projects”. As at 16:00 Eastern time on 8 March 2026, the company held the following encrypted assets: 4,534,563 ETH 195 Bitcoin $200 million Best Industries equity, $14 million Eightco Holdings total cash of $1.2 billion。
“This week, in the context of war concerns and soaring oil prices, has shown resilience at far-flung prices. We continue to believe that the price of encryption is in the late/final stages of "mini-encrypted winter." Referring to the analysis of Bitmine consultant Tom DeMark, he states that the ETH price trend was associated with the height of the Standard 500 index in the fall of 2011 and the fall of 1987 (relative to 89 per cent and 93 per cent, respectively), and that, if this analogy were established, the ETH price would be slightly below its recent low point of $1,740 between 8 and 14 March。
Lee revealed that Bitmine has accelerated the accumulation of ETH over the past week, with a total of 60,976 additional ETHs, which is higher than the previous average of 45,000-5,000 per week. “As the saying goes, no one will ring the bell at the bottom, so Bitmine's strategy is to slightly speed up accumulation.” As of 8 March, the total number of ETH pledged by Bitmine amounted to 3,040,483, valued at $6 billion, or 67 per cent of its total hold。
ChainCatcher, according to GlobeNewswire, Nazdak published a newspaper for the entire year 2025, which revealed an increase to 868,699 holdings to date, including 604,618 original ETH, 208,893 redeemed ETH from LsetH, and 55,188 redeemed ETH from WeETH, and has also received 14,516 ETH pledge awards, which are now the second largest publicly owned company worldwide。
IN ADDITION, IT DISCLOSED THAT IT HELD US$ 28,500,000 IN CASH AND US$1,900,000 IN US$, AND EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO HOLD ETH AND EXPAND THE PLEDGE TRANSACTIONS。

KAST completed $8 million in financing, co-financed by QED Investors and Left Lane Capital
ChainCatcher NewsThis post is part of our special coverage Nepal Protests 2011KAST COMPLETED THE LATEST ROUND OF FINANCING, WHICH AMOUNTED TO $80 MILLION, WITH THE CURRENT ROUND VALUED AT $600 MILLION。The funds will be used for expansion in North America, Latin America and the Middle East, as well as for recruitment, licence applications and product development。
ACCORDING TO THE SOURCE, KAST EXPECTS ANNUAL REVENUE PERFORMANCE TO RISE TO $100 MILLION THIS YEAR. THE FINANCING ONCE AGAIN CONFIRMS THE CONTINUING TREND OF VENTURE CAPITAL INSTITUTIONS TO ADD DIGITAL DOLLAR ACCOUNT TRACKS AND THE ASSOCIATED START-UPS ARE ATTRACTING LARGE INFLOWS OF CAPITAL。
ChainCatcher, former Chairman of the United States Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), Christopher Giancarlo, has said that the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, which is currently deadlocked, is much more important to the banking sector than encryption. He noted that the Bank's legal adviser was informing the Board that, in the absence of regulatory certainty, billions of dollars could not be invested in digital payment infrastructure。
The bill has been deadlocked since this year, and the debate has focused on whether to allow encryption companies to pay incentives to stabilize currency holders -- – The banks are concerned that this will lead to capital outflows and demand a “fair playing field”, which is strongly opposed by encryption companies like Coinbase。
Giancarlo warned that if banks continued to resist, the encryption would be transferred to Europe and Asia, and that banks in the United States would face a more passive situation. He expected that the bill would eventually pass by approximately 60-40, but noted that the parties had missed the deadline set by the White House and that many issues remained to be resolved。
ChainCatcher News, the United States Treasury Department submitted a 32-page report to Congress indicating that encrypted currency mixers can be used for legitimate financial privacy purposes, whereby users can protect sensitive information such as personal wealth, commercial payments or charitable donations. This position changed from the attitude it had in 2022 when sanctions were imposed on Tornado Cash。
The report revealed that Korean cybercriminals had stolen at least $2.8 billion in digital assets between January 2024 and September 2025, including $1.5 billion stolen by Bybit, and had routinely used the Mixer for multiple steps of money-laundering. Since May 2020, over $1.6 billion of the Mixer deposits have been in the cross-chain bridge, of which more than $900 million has been concentrated in a bridge agreement related to money-laundering activities in the DPRK。
The report distinguishes between custodial and non-host currency mixers, noting that compliant custodians provide information such as customer identification and data on transactions under the chain, but does not recommend new restrictions on non-host currency mixers. With regard to legislative recommendations, the report urges Congress to enact a special “freezing law” for digital assets to provide safe havens for financial institutions to temporarily freeze suspicious assets during short-term investigations, and recommends that Congress identify which DeFi participants are subject to anti-money-laundering obligations。
THE REPORT ALSO PROPOSES THE ADDITION OF “SIXTH SPECIAL MEASURE” TO SECTION 311 OF THE USA PATRIOT ACT, WHICH EMPOWERS THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT TO IMPOSE PROHIBITIONS OR RESTRICTIONS ON THE TRANSMISSION OF SPECIFIC DIGITAL ASSETS THAT DO NOT INVOLVE CORRESPONDENT BANKING RELATIONSHIPS. THE REPORT IS BASED ON SECTION 9 OF THE GENIUS ACT SIGNED IN JULY 2025。

Ethena's movement reveals what information is in the encrypted currency market
The encrypted market has been in a risk-free state for months, and I have been looking closely at market data and looking for signs of a possible turn-off. In this paper, I will explore in depth the market structure of the futures and analyse market risk preferences in conjunction with data from the Ethena Transparency dashboard。
In short, Ethena's deployed capital is at its lowest point in many years, at 71 per cent of its low point in 2025. This is not an accusation against Ethena, but a reflection of current market conditions. Directional empty positions are almost identical to directional multiple positions, which is an extremely rare and historically unsustainable balance in the area of encrypted currency。
