Notable names include CEO Brian Armstrong, co-founder Fred Ehrsam, chief legal officer Paul Grewal, and chief financial officer Alesia Haas-alongside a supporting cast of directors past and present, who surely never expected to feature in such a melodrama.

Imagine a room full of hungry financiers with oddly shaped hats-CryptoQuant’s report reveals that Bitcoin had been dancing at a fragile rhythm since early in the year. On February 29, it slid to about $63,000 after the U.S. and Israel decided to throw a sneaky war‑time tantrum at Iran. But don’t worry; a volatile spark sparked a quick comeback: by March 2, the valiant digital coin clambered toward $70,000, then dived over $73,000 by the 4th and 5th, spurred by a delightful rush of opportunists trading like mad capiche.
The SEC, that august body, has already whispered its interpretive guidance into the void, attempting to drape the unruly crypto assets in the straitjacket of federal securities law. This guidance, now under the White House’s discerning gaze, aims to categorize the unruly tokens, a Sisyphean task if ever there was one. Bloomberg, ever the harbinger of half-truths, reports that this taxonomy will be the North Star for those navigating the SEC’s jurisdiction-a star that may twinkle faintly in the vast, uncharted sky of blockchain.
Meanwhile, altcoins were showing off their glow-up. Ethereum strutted past $2,000 like it owned the place, flirting with $2,100, and SOL wiggled its way up to $90. Honestly, the crypto world has never looked more like a teen drama with money.
BTC squeezed through the $71,000-$72,000 range like a stubborn mule through a gate, spooking short-sellers and clearing out a pile of liquidity that a good many derivatives cowpokes had their eyes on near $70,300.
Bitwise, the grand overseer of crypto fortunes, has once again flung a crumb from its $2.7 billion table. This, their second annual offering, is drawn from the coffers of the Bitwise Bitcoin ETF (BITB), a vessel of prosperity that launched in January 2024. With a pledge to donate 10% of its gross profits each year, Bitwise has anointed itself the patron saint of open-source developers, a role no other Bitcoin ETF dares to claim.
CryptoQuant data shows the Exchange Whale Ratio climbing to 0.85 in late February-the highest since October 2015.
