Weekly Recap: Regulatory Wins, Market Doldrums

It was a week of red in crypto and traditional markets, with bitcoin plummeting below $80K on March 10 and ETH falling to $1,821 the same day. So much for the “Trump Bump.” With the new administration on a tariff-tear this week, the markets were spooked about a recession and crypto was not immune. Still, progress in digital assets was all around, and our reporters reported it all with alacrity. BlackRock’s bellwether BUIDL fund topped $1 billion and tokenized treasuries hit $4.2 billion , Kris Sandor reported. MoonPay, a payments aggregator, made an important stablecoin acquisition , Will Canny wrote. Ripple won a payments license in the UAE (Shaurya Malwa). OKX won a license to operate in Europe , Camomile Shumba reported. Coinbase announced plans to offer 24/7 futures trading in the U.S ., Helene Braun reported. There was also big regulatory news. The U.S. House voted to overturn the IRS’s controversial “broker rule” in a big win for DeFi operators . And a Senate committee voted to send the GENIUS stablecoin bill to the floor, ahead of probable approval there. The Trump Family continued to be front-and-center in the crypto news. World Liberty Financial completed a $590 million token sale (for accredited investors for now), with an assist from adviser/investor and TRON founder Justin Sun. The Wall Street Journal reported that a Trump family representative also explored buying a stake in Binance.US, through World Liberty Financial . From our Asia team, Sam Reynolds examined how the latest draft of the GENIUS act aims to split stablecoin regulation between state and federal authorities. Parikshit Mishra reported on Coinbase returning to India after a two-year hiatus, setting off discussion about the future of crypto in India. Shaurya Malwa continued his excellent reporting on XRP, pushing out multiple reports on Ripple. Malwa also reported on the implications of over-leveraging in the crypto market, as Hyperliquid lost $4 million due to a massive leveraged trade in ETH. Market maven, Omkar Godbole, pushed out a timely piece on bitcoin`s bullish signal ahead of the U.S. CPI report, and was also early to spot how Eric Trump`s tweet on crypto were setting up short-term traders for disappointment. Meanwhile, Tom Carreras had an excellent feature on how Bitdeer, a Singapore-based miner, hopes to shake up the mining machine market. Hopefully next week brings better news in the markets. But, either way, our reporters will be there to cover what matters. CoinDesk

Analyst Affirms Shiba Inu Could Reach $0.01

A crypto market analyst has reaffirmed the possibility of Shiba Inu reaching $0.01, arguing that the cryptocurrency market has repeatedly defied expectations. This statement comes as the asset struggles to maintain upward momentum, trailing behind its primary competitor, Dogecoin (DOGE), in year-to-date (YTD) performance. Despite investor enthusiasm, SHIB’s price trajectory has been disappointing for many holders. Since the start of the year, the asset has declined by 42%, while DOGE has seen a similar 47% drop. The prolonged downturn has placed a significant portion of SHIB holders at a loss. Current data indicates that 61% of investors are “out of the money,” meaning they hold SHIB at a higher price than its current value, while only 4% are breaking even. Crypto Analyst: A $0.01 SHIB Price Is Possible The idea of SHIB reaching $0.01 has sparked skepticism, with many arguing that the required 7996.4% surge is highly unrealistic. However, well-known analyst Luis Delgado, also known as Del Crxpto, has pushed back against these claims, maintaining that such a price increase is not out of the realm of possibility. In a recent statement, Delgado emphasized that the cryptocurrency industry has witnessed seemingly impossible events on multiple occasions. He urged critics to consider past market trends before dismissing SHIB’s potential to reach the ambitious price target. Adding to this optimism, the #1CentDreamSHIB movement continues to gain traction within the community, reflecting strong investor belief in a long-term surge. Notably, members of the development team share this sentiment. Lucie, Shiba Inu’s marketing lead, has voiced her confidence in the asset’s future growth. She revealed that she has been holding the token since 2021 and remains optimistic that the asset will eventually achieve a significant price increase, even if it takes longer than anticipated. When Could Shiba Inu Realistically Reach $0.01? While reaching $0.01 requires an extraordinary price increase, several industry analysts have attempted to estimate a potential timeline for such a surge. Analysts Jason Williams and Yazan, who primarily focus on Bitcoin, have projected that SHIB could surpass $0.01 as early as this year, potentially setting the stage for a further rise to $0.05.

Research conducted by Changelly predicts that the token may reach the $0.01 milestone by 2050, while Gemini AI (formerly known as Google Bard) provides a slightly more optimistic estimate, forecasting that the price could hit this level by 2040. For the token to achieve this ambitious price, key structural changes would need to occur within the ecosystem. A significant reduction in SHIB’s circulating supply is essential, as an excessively high supply limits price growth. Additionally, increased real-world adoption and new technological advancements within the ecosystem could drive long-term demand, further supporting a potential price increase. While many investors remain hopeful about the token’s long-term potential , achieving a $0.01 valuation remains a subject of debate. Historical trends in the crypto industry show that dramatic price increases can happen, but they often require favorable market conditions and fundamental changes.
