Crypto Crash
At the time of this edition’s release, major cryptocurrencies faced a sharp correction, likely influenced by the Bybit hack and the threat of tariffs from U.S. President Donald Trump. Bitcoin fell below $91,000 for the first time in over a quarter, while Ethereum dropped to $2,461.52, its lowest level since February 3.

Key hearing on digital assets
Bitcoin may experience high volatility this week due to key events: Bitcoin Investor Week, financial reports from mining and tech companies, a legislative hearing in the U.S., and the expiration of $5.1 billion in options. These factors could impact market confidence and Bitcoin’s price.
Bitcoin Investor Week begins on February 24 in New York, bringing together institutional investors and industry experts. Market trends, institutional adoption, and regulatory impacts will be discussed, possibly influencing Bitcoin’s price.
On February 26, the U.S. Senate Banking Committee will hold a key hearing on legislative frameworks for digital assets. Regulation is crucial for sector stability and market confidence. Any significant statements could cause Bitcoin volatility and affect investment decisions.

Franklin Templeton has launched the first fully tokenized UCITS in Luxembourg: the Franklin OnChain U.S. Government Money Fund. Built on the Stellar blockchain, it aims to provide transparency and liquidity by investing in U.S. government securities. It will be available to institutional investors in several European countries.

The most valuable airdrop in history
The official launch of Pi Network on February 20 was a historic day for the crypto ecosystem. Pi Network, the world’s only mobile crypto mining app, set a record with more than 110 million downloads.
Although it is already being traded on some exchanges, it has not yet reached Binance, as its users are voting on whether to accept the asset in the community.
Its price is expected to skyrocket when it lands on larger platforms, and a massive ecosystem of decentralized applications is in development, which will add more value to the project.
