US House of Representatives Member Byron Donalds has introduced a remarkable bill to make the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve decision signed by former President Donald Trump permanent and prevent future administrations from repealing it. This move could pave the way for the US to integrate Bitcoin more deeply into its financial strategy.Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Could Now Be PermanentDonald Trump signed an executive order on March 7, 2025, creating a national Bitcoin reserve using Bitcoin (BTC) assets seized by the US government from criminal cases. The new bill introduced by Byron Donalds would prevent the removal of this reserve by future administrations through executive orders and make it permanent.According to the bill, the US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and Digital Asset Stock applications would be legally based and protected from interference by the executive branch.The Bill Has a Strong Chance of Passing the SenateThe bill needs at least 60 votes in the Senate and a majority in the House of Representatives to become law. The Republican majority in the Senate and the growing support for crypto-friendly policies strengthen the chances of the bill becoming law.Byron Donalds said in a statement on the subject:"For years, Democrats have waged war on crypto. It is now time for Republicans to end this war."Bitcoin Reserve Will Become a Core Part of the US Economic StrategyThe idea behind the bill is to ensure that digital assets play a strategic role in the national economy by making the US government's Bitcoin reserve of approximately 200,000 BTC (approximately $16.8 billion) permanent. This reserve, which is described as a "Digital Fort Knox," includes BTCs obtained from cases such as the 2016 Bitfinex cyber heist and the Silk Road investigation.In addition, a separate stockpile system will be created for other seized crypto assets (such as Ethereum). This stockpile will also be legally based, preventing any future president from making unilateral changes. The changes will be subject to Congressional approval.US Plays for Crypto LeadershipThe Donalds said the bill supports Trump’s vision of “making America the crypto capital.” Following his election victory, the Trump team held a lavish crypto summit at the White House, promoting digital assets as economic stabilizers.“This bill provides legal basis for Trump’s executive order and could provide a clear government stance on digital assets,” said blockchain expert Anndy Lian.State Support for Bitcoin Reserves GrowsAccording to Bitcoinlaws data, at least 23 US states have now introduced bills supporting Bitcoin reserves. This shows interest in integrating crypto assets into state-level fiscal policies.The current plan does not require the government to make new Bitcoin purchases. However, the US Treasury Department and Commerce Department will be able to develop strategies that will not add additional burden to the budget and purchase Bitcoin. At this point, creating the right financing and custody infrastructure is critical.The bill, introduced by Byron Donalds, has the potential to fundamentally change the US’s stance on digital assets. If enacted, the bill would provide legal clarity for the crypto sector and bring the US one step closer to Bitcoin leadership.Author: Besim Şen
STRKSTRK is moving within a falling wedge formation in the medium and long term. This formation usually exhibits a structure that carries the potential for an upward breakout. The price is currently at $0.1809 and is moving close to critical support areas.Currently, the price is approaching an important support area at $0.1367. Since this area has been a critical point where strong buying reactions have been received in the past, holding here may cause upward movements to begin. In a downward scenario, losing the $0.1367 level may cause the price to decline to the $0.1200 support.In a possible rise, the first resistance level stands out as $0.2100. In case this level is exceeded and maintained, the price can be expected to test the resistances of $0.2559, $0.3773 and $0.6083, respectively. In particular, the $0.6083 - $0.7130 range should be monitored as the target area of the formation.STRK has reached the final stages of the falling wedge formation. Since this structure generally carries the potential for an upward breakout, it can be expected that the price will gain strength at support levels and show an upward trend. Especially closing above the $0.2100 level can confirm the formation breakout and allow the price to reach higher resistances. For a strong rise, the protection of supports and the increasing possibility of an upward breakout as the price gets tighter should be followed carefully.These analyses, which do not provide investment advice, focus on support and resistance levels that are thought to create trading opportunities in the short and medium term according to market conditions. However, the user is entirely responsible for trading and risk management. In addition, it is strongly recommended to use stop loss in relation to shared transactions.Author: Ilahe

Russia has introduced cryptocurrencies to overcome economic sanctions imposed by the West and to provide flexibility in international trade. It is reported that the use of digital assets such as Bitcoin (BTC) and Tether (USDT) has increased in oil trade with China and India. So how does this new financial move work and what effects could it have on global markets?Russia Turns to Selling Oil with CryptocurrencyIn 2024, Russia adopted new regulations that provide legal grounds for the use of cryptocurrencies in international trade. According to Reuters, following these regulations, digital assets have increasingly become preferred in oil transactions with China and India.This method, which remains outside the traditional financial system, provides a way out for Russia, whose access to the SWIFT system has been restricted due to banking sanctions. Cryptocurrency transactions make trade more fluid by accelerating cross-border payments.How is Cryptocurrency Oil Trade Done?This trading model works as follows:A Chinese or Indian buyer makes a payment to a contracted brokerage firm.The broker converts this payment into cryptocurrency and transfers it to the seller in Russia.Finally, the cryptocurrencies received are converted into rubles and become usable in Russia.This system offers a faster and safer transaction mechanism against sanctions risks compared to traditional banking methods.Will Oil Trading with Crypto Continue?According to economists, it is likely that Russia will continue to use this method not only because of sanctions but also because of its operational advantages. The increasing use of cryptocurrencies in international trade may herald major changes in financial systems. Especially if major economies turn more to such alternative payment systems, the traditional structure of global trade may significantly transform.As a result, Russia's cryptocurrency-supported oil trade may usher in a new era in the global economy. The increasing use of digital assets such as Bitcoin and USDT may weaken the effectiveness of financial sanctions and create a new paradigm in international trade. As the role of cryptocurrencies in trade expands day by day, it is eagerly awaited how this trend will shape in the future.Author: Besim Şen
SOLIn the short term, the Solana price is at a critical resistance level and is looking for direction. The $134.16 level is the short-term direction determinant, and if it is sustained above, an increase towards $141.89 and the $150-$153 region can be expected. Closing above $153 can trigger an accelerated rise. In the opposite scenario, the $123.63 level will act as the first strong support in downward movements. If this is broken, the $112.50 liquidity line can be followed as a strong buying zone. In general, if the price holds above $134.16, upward movements may continue, but if this level cannot be overcome and selling pressure increases, support zones can be tested.When Solana's price movements are examined, the formation of the Cup and Handle formation attracts attention in the long term. This formation is generally considered a harbinger of a strong rise. A deep cup base was formed with the sharp decline that followed a big rise in 2021-2022. In 2023-2024, an upward movement began by recovering from the bottom levels. In the 2024-2025 period, a small correction (handle) occurred as the price approached the resistance and is now close to the breakout phase. If the $ 250-300 resistance zone achieves a strong volume breakout, an increase as deep as the formation target can be expected. While the $ 125-150 zone works as a strong support in the long term, the $ 100-120 level stands out as a critical buying zone in possible pullbacks.These analyses, which do not offer investment advice, focus on support and resistance levels that are thought to create trading opportunities in the short and medium term according to market conditions. However, the user is entirely responsible for trading and risk management. In addition, it is strongly recommended to use stop loss in relation to shared transactions.Author: Ilahe

In the current technical structure, the $82,819 - $85,419 range stands out as a significant resistance area in the short term, while the $79,000 - $80,700 region stands out as a strong demand area where both trend support and horizontal support levels intersect.If this region is maintained, upward movements can be expected to gain momentum and an increase towards the $90,000 level can be expected. If this level is exceeded, $95,000 will be followed as the next target. However, if weekly closes come below $79,000, the technical outlook may weaken and the risk of the price falling back to the $75,000 - $76,500 support area may increase.In summary, while price movements above $79,000 support the positive scenario, if this level is broken, selling pressure may deepen and lower support points may be tested.ETHThe Ethereum (ETH) price is trading close to the lower band of the large-scale symmetrical triangle formation, which is at a critical support level. The $1,790 - $1,900 region intersects with long-term upward trend support and stands out as a strong demand area. ETH holding in this region will be important in terms of starting an upward reaction movement.Currently, the price is trading below the $2,000 level, and breaking above this level may strengthen the recovery scenario. The levels of $2,095 and $2,453 are intermediate resistance points, respectively, and if these areas are exceeded, the rise can be expected to accelerate towards the resistances of $2,595 and $2,981.On the other hand, falling below the level of $1,790 and the weekly closing below this area may increase the selling pressure. In this case, the levels of $1,692 and $1,422 will be followed as the next support areas.In summary, Ethereum holding on to the $1,790 - $1,900 area is critical for the continuation of the rise, and if it falls below this area, the risk of deepening selling pressure will increase. In the bullish scenario, if the levels of $2,000 and $2,095 are exceeded, $2,500 and above can be targeted.ETH/BTCWhen the ETH/BTC parity is examined on the weekly chart, it is seen that it has received a strong reaction from the critical support area that has been followed for a long time. This region in particular stands out as an important demand area that has worked many times when past price movements are examined and where buyers have stepped in. The reaction that comes with the current contact indicates that volatility may increase in the upcoming period for Ethereum and significant upward movements may occur. If this support contact is successful, a scenario can be mentioned where ETH may start to gain strength against Bitcoin and upward movements in the parity may accelerate. In a potential recovery process starting from here, it can be expected that the intermediate resistance levels will be tested in the first stage, followed by movements towards higher peak structures.Weekly NotesTrump's Tariffs and the MarketsImpactTrump’s tariffs are still the biggest factor shaking up the markets. According to a Bank of America survey, a potential global trade war is the biggest market risk for 2025. This risk even surpasses fears of AI competition from China. This uncertainty affects everything from cryptocurrencies to traditional financial markets, leading to a decrease in risk appetite.Despite all this gloom, however, US stock markets saw a sharp recovery on Friday. The S&P 500 index rose more than 2%. As markets enter a new period of volatility, short- and medium-term investors should be careful about leverage and position size. However, there are still great opportunities for long-term investors; assets with strong fundamentals can be bought at attractive prices right now.Institutional Adoption AcceleratesDespite the volatility in the market, institutional investors continue to enter the crypto space:The Singapore Exchange plans to list Bitcoin perpetual futures in the second half of 2025.BlackRock has announced a 1-2% allocation in model portfolios for its Bitcoin ETF (IBIT).The US House of Representatives has shown a more positive approach to decentralized finance by repealing the IRS’ DeFi Broker Rule.The SEC is considering classifying XRP as a commodity. This could be a major regulatory change.Abu Dhabi-based investment firm MGX has invested $2 billion in Binance, marking the largest investment in the crypto sector to date.Altcoin Market and Institutional InterestWhile retail investors are fearful, institutional investors are acting in the opposite direction. Last week, major financial institutions filed applications for altcoin ETFs:Franklin Templeton filed with the SEC for the XRP Trust and the Solana ETF.VanEck announced its first Avalanche (AVAX) ETF.Institutions are increasing their interest in major altcoins such as SOL, SUI, XRP, AVAX, DOGE, LTC and HBAR.Developments to Watch Out ForNVIDIA CEO Speech (March 18): Jensen Huang will talk about artificial intelligence and chip technologies. Updates are expected, especially on the Blackwell B300 series and Rubin GPU.FOMC Rate Decision (March 19): The Fed is expected to keep interest rates steady at 4.25-4.50%.

There are notable developments in the cryptocurrency world. Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), led by Michael Saylor, continues its Bitcoin (BTC) purchases without slowing down. The company purchased 130 more BTC for $10.7 million last week, bringing its total Bitcoin holdings to 499,226 BTC.Strategy's Massive Bitcoin Investment DetailsThe company's latest BTC purchase was made at an average price of $82,981. This purchase was financed by the sale of 123,000 shares of STRK preferred stock, generating a net income of approximately $10.7 million. This development further increased Strategy's Bitcoin holdings, which it acquired by spending a total of $33.1 billion. The average cost was calculated as $66,360.Highlights of Strategy’s Bitcoin investment strategy:Total BTC holdings: 499,226 BTCTotal investment amount: $33.1 billionAverage BTC cost: $66,360Last purchase: 130 BTC / $10.7 millionStock Price Increase with Bitcoin PurchasesThe company’s previous large Bitcoin purchases were also reflected in its stock prices. For example, a $4.6 billion BTC purchase resulted in a 10% increase in its stock price. This purchase included approximately 51,780 BTC at an average price of $88,627, bringing its total BTC holdings to 331,200 BTC at the time.Strategy, which decided to invest in alternative assets in 2020, increased its market value to $75 billion with this strategy. Its stock price increased 20-fold in four years. This approach has made the company the world’s first “Bitcoin treasury company.”Strategic BTC Purchases ContinueStrategy, led by Michael Saylor, aims to increase its market value by continuing its Bitcoin investments. However, this growth also brings with it issues such as market risk and investor sensitivity.Author: Besim Şen
WLD (WorldCoin) is in a long-term downtrend and is currently trading at a critical point at $0.84, close to the lower limit of the channel. At this point, the reaction of the price will be decisive in terms of the direction of the trend.If there is a strong reaction from here, the price may first head towards the $1.27 resistance. Breaking the $1.27 level and working as support may bring the $1.84 - $2.07 range to the agenda.An upward break of the formation may cause the price to move to $2.92 and above in the medium term.Although the fact that the price is in the lower band of the channel indicates that a strong reaction rise may come, maintaining these levels is critical. In possible declines, if the $0.84 support is lost, the price may retreat to $0.70.If it falls below $0.70, a deeper downtrend may begin and the formation may lose its validity.In summary, the future direction of WLD will depend on the reactions it will give in the support areas. Therefore, price movements should be followed carefully and large movements should not be expected before the resistance breaks are confirmed.These analyses, which do not provide investment advice, focus on support and resistance levels that are thought to create trading opportunities in the short and medium term according to market conditions. However, the user is completely responsible for trading and risk management. In addition, it is strongly recommended to use stop loss in relation to shared transactions.Author: Ilahe

There is a new development in the cryptocurrency market. The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is holding important talks on whether XRP is a commodity. In this process, the possibility of XRP being included in the same category as Ethereum (ETH) is also being evaluated.Talks Between SEC and Ripple ContinueWhile the legal process between Ripple and SEC continues, a new era is being entered. According to Fox News, the SEC has discussed whether XRP is a commodity. If XRP is accepted as a commodity, the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) will take over the supervisory authority. Thus, the use of XRP in futures and derivative products will become possible.What Will Change If XRP Is Considered a Commodity?The SEC's classification of XRP as a commodity could lead to significant changes in the market. In this case, XRP will become an asset regulated by the CFTC, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. This could pave the way for XRP-based ETFs and eliminate uncertainties about Ripple's business model.According to James Seyffart, the SEC's classifications for cryptocurrencies could also affect Solana (SOL) and other digital assets in the future. The SEC's evaluation of SOL as a security is seen as the biggest obstacle to Solana ETFs. A similar situation applies to XRP.The Division of Authority Between the SEC and the CFTC Becomes ClearThe SEC's evaluation of XRP as a commodity could also usher in a new era in the regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies. If XRP is officially accepted as a commodity, the division of authority between the SEC and the CFTC will become clearer. While the SEC reduces its pressure on non-security tokens, the CFTC will undertake the task of overseeing market integrity.The Ethereum Example May Be Guiding for XRPIt is stated that the SEC is evaluating XRP by comparing it to ETH. It is known that Ethereum also went through an initial coin offering (ICO) process at the beginning, but over time it turned into a commodity. According to the information shared by Charles Gasparino, the SEC thinks that ETH is currently traded as a pure commodity and is evaluating whether a similar path can be followed for XRP.The Results of the Ripple Case Will Affect the Crypto MarketThe result of the Ripple case could set a precedent not only for XRP, but for the entire cryptocurrency ecosystem. If XRP is accepted as a commodity, regulatory uncertainty regarding cryptocurrencies will decrease, and similar projects will be able to reference this decision when arguing that their tokens are not securities. At the same time, it could stand out as a development that could limit the SEC's authority in lawsuits filed against exchanges such as Binance.From Ripple's perspective, accepting XRP as a commodity could allow the company to continue its activities in the US more easily. While the company aims to use XRP for cross-border payments and liquidity, it had to be cautious, especially in the US, due to the SEC case. If the securities classification on XRP is lifted, Ripple will be able to fully implement its business model.It is not yet clear whether the SEC will classify XRP as a commodity. However, this development could create a major transformation in the cryptocurrency market. If XRP is accepted as a commodity, this decision will have significant effects not only for XRP, but also for other cryptocurrencies and exchanges. The crypto world is closely following this critical decision by the SEC.Author: Besim Şen
One of the developments that made a big splash in the cryptocurrency market was Franklin Templeton's XRP Spot ETF application. This application, submitted to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), is considered a big step for XRP investors. If the application is approved, this ETF, which tracks the price performance of XRP, will be traded on the Cboe BZX Exchange.Franklin Templeton and Crypto ETF InvestmentsFranklin Templeton, which manages more than $1.5 trillion in assets worldwide, continues to strengthen its presence in the crypto asset market. The company, which previously applied for an ETF for Solana (SOL), now aims to attract the attention of crypto investors by focusing on XRP. The increasing demand for ETFs for crypto assets other than Bitcoin and Ethereum is seen as a result of the maturation of the market and the expansion of regulatory frameworks.What Does the XRP Spot ETF Offer to Investors?Franklin Templeton's XRP Spot ETF offers investors the opportunity to benefit from the price movements of XRP without directly owning it. This is considered a safer and more regulated investment vehicle for both individual and institutional investors. How the SEC will respond to this application is a matter of great curiosity.What Do Crypto ETFs Add to the Market?Recently, after the approval of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, similar steps have been taken for other major cryptocurrencies. The rise of altcoin ETFs shows that the traditional financial world is increasingly interested in crypto. The focus of large investment companies like Franklin Templeton on assets like XRP and Solana could lead to greater adoption of these cryptocurrencies by institutional investors.Awaiting SEC ApprovalFranklin Templeton's application is currently under review by the SEC. If approved, XRP will become accessible to a wider range of investors in traditional markets. However, due to regulatory uncertainties, there is no clear information on how long this process will take.The rise of ETFs in the cryptocurrency ecosystem is making the market more reliable and accessible. Franklin Templeton’s XRP Spot ETF application could be a significant turning point for both XRP investors and the crypto market. The decision to be taken by the SEC in the upcoming period will play a critical role in determining the future of crypto investment vehicles. Investors should follow the developments closely and determine their strategies by considering the market dynamics.Author: Besim Şen
U.S. Congressman Nick Begich (R-AK) made significant statements regarding the Bitcoin bill that proposes the U.S. Treasury to purchase 1 million Bitcoin over the next five years. Begich stated that the likelihood of the bill passing in Congress is increasing and support for the proposal continues to grow.A Clear Plan for 1 Million BTC PurchaseBegich emphasized the importance of restructuring the Bitcoin system for the financial development of the United States. The bill aims for the U.S. Treasury to acquire 1 million BTC, with 200,000 BTC each year. The purchases will be budget-neutral, meaning they will not impose any additional tax burden on citizens. These funds will be sourced from Federal Reserve dividend payments and the revaluation of gold certificates.Begich noted that Congressional awareness of Bitcoin is increasing, and lawmakers are becoming more sensitive to national debt and budget deficits. This development has strengthened support for the bill. Bitcoin, like gold, is being highlighted as a valuable asset that should be part of the national reserves.Growing Political and Public SupportThe Bitcoin bill enjoys bipartisan support in Congress. Other supporters of the bill include Representatives Pat Harrigan (R-NC), Troy Nehls (R-TX), and Michael Rulli (R-OH). Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) is also in the process of introducing a similar proposal in the Senate.The bill is well-received in the cryptocurrency sector. Organizations like the Bitcoin Policy Institute view the bill as part of an effort to modernize the U.S. financial system. Additionally, the public belief that Bitcoin protects against inflation makes it easier for the bill to gain support.Reserves Will Be TransparentBegich announced that the Bitcoin purchased under the bill will be stored in publicly visible addresses. This will allow the public to track exactly how much BTC the government holds. Begich stressed the importance of transparency and referred to past issues with the lack of auditing of Fort Knox gold reserves, which harmed public trust. He stated that Bitcoin can help overcome this issue.Support for Bitcoin Bill GrowsMembers of Congress supporting the bill:Pat Harrigan (R-NC)Troy Nehls (R-TX)Michael Rulli (R-OH)U.S. Aims to Lead in Digital AssetsThe Bitcoin bill aligns with President Trump’s recent Strategic Bitcoin Reserve initiative. These efforts show that the U.S. is following a planned path to officially recognize Bitcoin as a strategic asset. Begich stated that if the bill is enacted, it will serve as an example in many ways.The United States aims to strengthen its global leadership in the field of digital assets through the Bitcoin system. Begich mentioned that this process is under constant observation and that they are working intensively thanks to strong public support.
