Fidelity Digital Assets said Bitcoin has fallen about 50% this market cycle, a smaller post-ATH drawdown than the historical 80% to 90% declines seen in past cycles. The firm's analyst Zack Wainwright added that cycle-to-cycle returns have shown "diminishing" moves, while separate analysts suggested a potential bottom window in late September or early October 2026 and noted BTC remains below key moving averages.

Google published research on Monday revising the quantum resources it believes are needed to break 256-bit elliptic-curve cryptography used by Bitcoin and Ethereum. The paper estimates that fewer than 500,000 physical qubits could be sufficient under its current hardware assumptions, and it models an “on-spend” Bitcoin key-recovery window of about 9–12 minutes. It also warns Ethereum’s account model exposes public keys in a way that could enable “at-rest” attacks, estimating the 1,000 richest exposed accounts holding about 20.5 million ETH could be compromised in under nine days.

A federal judge in San Francisco has temporarily blocked the Pentagon's designation of Anthropic as a supply-chain risk and paused a directive that would halt federal use of its Claude chatbot. The order was issued Thursday by Judge Rita Lin and followed Anthropic's March 9 lawsuit challenging the designation, with a 90-minute hearing held March 24 and a ruling dated March 26.

Crypto entrepreneur Nic Carter said Bitcoin developers are moving too slowly on making the network quantum-resistant, while Ethereum already has a post-quantum roadmap targeting 2029. He argued that elliptic curve cryptography is nearing obsolescence and that blockchain systems may need to support changing cryptographic schemes, as he warned ETH/BTC could reflect diverging priorities.

The Reserve Bank of Australia has signaled support for real-world asset tokenization after Project Acacia findings suggested it could add 24 billion Australian dollars ($16.7 billion) a year to the economy. Assistant Governor Brad Jones said the focus is shifting from whether tokenization will play a role to how it should be implemented, including work on a new DFMI sandbox. He also highlighted interest in linking wholesale CBDC activity with deposit tokens, stablecoins and the RITS payments system.

Robinhood has authorized a $1.5 billion share repurchase program, set to be executed over the next three years. On Tuesday, HOOD closed down 4.7% at $69.08, its lowest close of the year, after the company also disclosed a new $3.25 billion revolving credit facility with JPMorgan Chase.

TRON DAO said on Monday it expanded its AI fund from $100 million to $1 billion to invest in or acquire early-stage startups building infrastructure for the agentic economy.

On March 16, hourly Bitcoin inflows to centralized exchanges surged to 6,100 BTC, the highest level since Feb. 20, while the asset’s price climbed toward resistance around $75,000. According to CryptoQuant’s Julio Moreno, large transfers made up 63% of total inflows, and such spikes in big deposits have previously coincided with stronger selling pressure.

Meta Platforms will discontinue virtual reality access to its Horizon Worlds metaverse on June 15, 2026, shifting the service to a mobile-only format. The VR-focused world, launched in late 2021 as part of Mark Zuckerberg's metaverse strategy, has struggled to deliver profits while Reality Labs has accumulated nearly $80 billion in losses since 2020.
