In this article, we’ll take a closer look at what sets Lightchain AI apart and why it has garnered such overwhelming support. Market Sentiment and the Crypto Fear Index The crypto market has been under intense pressure, with the Crypto Fear and Greed Index reflecting a state of heightened anxiety among investors. Market sentiment has been shaky, with prices fluctuating wildly due to economic uncertainty, regulatory concerns, and major institutional developments. As fear dominates the market, many investors are retreating into safer assets, unsure of the market’s next move. However, this climate of fear also creates opportunities for those willing to look beyond the chaos. Some altcoins, such as Lightchain AI, have managed to stay resilient, showing a strong presale performance and attracting substantial investor interest. As the fear index rises, investors are looking for promising alternatives that can weather the storm, and Lightchain AI’s innovative approach to AI and blockchain technology may be exactly what the market needs.

Despite the overall downturn in market sentiment, Lightchain AI’s presale has seen significant success, attracting millions in investor demand. This momentum is fueled by the project’s innovative integration of AI and blockchain, offering a unique value proposition that sets it apart from traditional cryptocurrencies. While market conditions remain volatile, Lightchain AI’s solid fundamentals and growing investor interest position it as a potential leader in the emerging AI-driven crypto space. The challenge will be whether the project can maintain this momentum as it moves from presale to wider adoption. However, with a dedicated team, clear use cases, and strong backing, Lightchain AI has the potential to continue attracting attention and growth in the face of market adversity. Why Lightchain AI is Worth Watching In a market overwhelmed by fear and uncertainty, Lightchain AI has emerged as a project worth watching. Its presale has already raised significant funds, reflecting investor confidence despite the broader market downturn. The project stands out due to its unique combination of AI and blockchain technology, offering innovative solutions for both industries.

A clause in Utah’s Blockchain and Digital Innovation Amendments bill, which would establish a Bitcoin reserve, was dropped right before the final Senate vote. Referred to as House Bill 230 , Utah’s State Senate passed the bill with a 19-7-3 vote on March 7. However, this version no longer includes the Bitcoin reserve clause. The bill is now headed to Governor Spencer Cox for approval. Initially, the bill proposed allowing Utah’s state treasurer to invest up to 5% of certain public funds into Bitcoin and other qualifying digital assets. Utah was leading the Bitcoin reserve race and was widely expected to be the first U.S. state to pass such a law due to its short 45-day legislative window and strong political momentum. However, the clause was scrapped during the final Senate reading on March 7, and the House later concurred with the amendment in a 52-19-4 vote, sealing its removal from the bill. With the reserve clause gone, HB230 only includes provisions that protect the right to mine Bitcoin, run a node, and participate in staking, ensuring residents can engage in blockchain activities without regulatory overreach. It also establishes basic custody protections, giving Utahns clearer rights when holding digital assets.

According to Bitcoin Laws, two Arizona Senate bills and the Texas Senate bill (TX S) are now next in line to establish a state-backed Bitcoin reserve. Arizona’s bills have already cleared committee stages and are awaiting final floor votes, while Texas’ proposal has moved to the House . Meanwhile, other states, including Kentucky, New Hampshire , Illinois, and Iowa, still have live Bitcoin reserve bills in progress, but they remain further behind in the legislative process. In related news, U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order on March 7 that establishes a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and a U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile. However, the reserve would be funded via assets seized by the federal government instead of direct investments. Read more: Texas House to advance or reject Bitcoin bill by May 24

The post Gold vs Bitcoin Investment: Which Asset Will Perform Better in 2025? appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News Bitcoin is considered as digital gold. Yesterday, the Bitcoin price dropped by around 6.37% – the most severe drop since the March 3 decline of 8.53%. Currently, at $82,362.27, the BTC market is struggling to recover from yesterday’s correction. Interestingly, Bloomberg Economics’ analysis of the gold-to-BTC ratio reveals what could be expected in the gold-BTC market in the coming days. The price of gold now stands at $2,909.42. The gold-to-Bitcoin ratio now stands at 0.034. The analysis suggests that there is a high chance for a sharp shift in the gold-to-BTC ratio in the near future. Dive in for more details! Gold-to-Bitcoin Ratio Could Drop A drop in the gold-to-BTC ratio means the price of gold has decreased in comparison to the price of BTC. In early March 2024, the gold-to-BTC ratio was very close to its current level. In early September 2024, it touched the yearly peak of 0.047. In late November 2024, when the US political landscape shifted in favour of the crypto industry, the ratio was at 0.029. On the first day of this year, the ratio was around 0.028. Though in late January 2025, it slipped to as low as 0.026, in February, it showcased constant growth. On February 26, it touched a peak of 0.035. Currently, the ratio remains at 0.034. Notably, in February, when the ratio experienced steep growth, the BTC market recorded a severe drop of 17.5%. A post on X by Mike McGlone, a senior commodity strategist at Bloomberg Intelligence, suggests that there is a chance of the gold-to-Bitcoin ratio declining in the coming days. Gold $3,000, Bitcoin $70,000? The ounces of #gold equal to a #Bitcoin at about 28x on March 9 is at risk of dropping toward 21x, based on Bloomberg Economics' model. My bias is leaning that way, especially if the US #stockmarket reverses some of last year's almost $12 trillion… pic.twitter.com/tWrftnGyhi — Mike McGlone (@mikemcglone11) March 9, 2025 .article-inside-link { margin-left: 0 !important; border: 1px solid #0052CC4D; border-left: 0; border-right: 0; padding: 10px 0; text-align: left; } .entry ul.article-inside-link li { font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; font-weight: 600; list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 0; display: inline-block; } .entry ul.article-inside-link li:last-child { display: none; } Also Read : Why is Crypto Market Down Today ? When Will it Recover? , Bitcoin May Gain Strength Over Gold What McGlaone’s post indicates is that Bitcoin could become more valuable than gold in the coming days. The analyst states that if the US stock market falls, it may affect gold and Bitcoin. In the last month, the S&P 500 has recorded a fall of 4.87%. In the last week alone, the market has plummeted by over 3.50%. The YTD performance of the S&P 500 market remains at 1.68%. In conclusion, Bloomberg’s analysis suggests that Bitcoin may gain more value compared to gold in the coming days, especially if the US stock continues to decline. The recent shifts in the gold-to-BTC ratio highlight Bitcoin’s potential strength. If the trend follows past patterns, Bitcoin’s price could rise while gold’s comparative value declines. .article_register_shortcode { padding: 18px 24px; border-radius: 8px; display: flex; align-items: center; margin: 6px 0 22px; border: 1px solid #0052CC4D; background: linear-gradient(90deg, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.1) 0%, rgba(0, 82, 204, 0.1) 100%); } .article_register_shortcode .media-body h5 { color: #000000; font-weight: 600; font-size: 20px; line-height: 22px; text-align:left; } .article_register_shortcode .media-body h5 span { color: #0052CC; } .article_register_shortcode .media-body p { font-weight: 400; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; color: #171717B2; margin-top: 4px; text-align:left; } .article_register_shortcode .media-body{ padding-right: 14px; } .article_register_shortcode .media-button a { float: right; } .article_register_shortcode .primary-button img{ vertical-align: middle; width: 20px; margin: 0; display: inline-block; } @media (min-width: 581px) and (max-width: 991px) { .article_register_shortcode .media-body p { margin-bottom: 0; } } @media (max-width: 580px) { .article_register_shortcode { display: block; padding: 20px; } .article_register_shortcode img { max-width: 50px; } .article_register_shortcode .media-body h5 { font-size: 16px; } .article_register_shortcode .media-body { margin-left: 0px; } .article_register_shortcode .media-body p { font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 6px; margin-bottom: 14px; } .article_register_shortcode .media-button a { float: unset; } .article_register_shortcode .secondary-button { margin-bottom: 0; } } Never Miss a Beat in the Crypto World!

Bitcoin may outperform gold if the US stock market declines, as suggested by Bloomberg’s analysis of the gold-to-BTC ratio. What will Bitcoin be in 10 years? Projecting a 10-year growth in a volatile asset like Bitcoin seems a far-stretched notion. The BTC price is expected to cross $600,000 by 2030. With global adoption, Bitcoin could be worth 1 million dollars .
Weekly flows for spot Bitcoin ETFs remained negative for the fourth consecutive week as macroeconomic factors continued to weigh heavily on investor sentiment. According to data from SoSoValue, the 12 spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded another week of outflows from March 3-5, with nearly $800 million exiting the funds. This follows a record outflow week that saw over $2.61 billion in redemptions, extending the negative flow streak to four consecutive weeks with total net outflows exceeding $4.5 billion. Notably, Bitcoin ETFs recorded net negative flows throughout last week, starting with $74.19 million on Monday, followed by $143.43 million, $38.3 million, $134.26 million, and culminating in the largest outflow of $409 million on Friday. On the final day of the week, ARK and 21Shares’ ARKB led the outflows with $160.03 million, followed closely by Fidelity’s FBTC, which saw $154.89 million withdrawn by investors. Other major ETF issuers, including BlackRock’s IBIT, Grayscale’s GBTC, and Bitwise’s BITB, also experienced outflows of $39.85 million, $36.46 million, and $18.6 million, respectively. VanEck’s HODL was the only fund to buck the trend, recording a modest inflow of $619.55K. Meanwhile, the nine spot Ethereum funds also reported two consecutive weeks of negative flows, with $455 million exiting the funds, reflecting broader bearish sentiment in the crypto market. You might also like: Bitcoin tumbles to $80K as Trump’s economic policies stir debate Despite widespread anticipation that the White House Crypto Summit could provide a boost to the market, Bitcoin ETFs continued their downward trend. Analysts attribute this decline to ongoing macroeconomic concerns, particularly President Donald Trump’s trade tariffs and overall economic uncertainty, which appear to be shaking investor confidence in digital assets. Some experts suggest that strategic market shifts are also contributing to the sell-off. One prevailing theory is that hedge funds have been capitalizing on low-risk arbitrage trades between Bitcoin spot ETFs and CME futures. As these trades unwind, liquidity is drying up, leading to increased selling pressure and exacerbating ETF outflows. Another factor influencing Bitcoin’s recent price swings is Trump’s announcement of the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and the U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile. While many traders expected the Crypto Summit to be a bullish event, Bitcoin’s ( BTC ) price instead dropped from $90,000 to $85,000 following the signing of the executive order. According to Kadan Stadelmann, CTO of Komodo, Bitcoin ETFs are experiencing major outflows despite the creation of the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve due to a classic case of “buy the rumor, sell the news.” In such scenarios, assets typically rise in anticipation of an event but decline once it materializes. Stadelmann noted that speculation about the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve began in July 2024 when Trump first mentioned the initiative. By the time the official announcement was made during Thursday’s Crypto Summit, the market had already priced it in, leading to a sell-off. He added that in these situations, “people who are less informed, connected, and monied often buy the news and lose money.” Additionally, the summit took place during a challenging time for the market, with concerns over trade tariffs compounding existing worries about inflation, a slowing real estate market, weak consumer spending, and declining savings.

Ethereum price once again faces strong selling pressure crashing under $2,000 earlier today, and opening the gates for another 75% drop to $1,250 levels. Over the last week, ETH has lost more than 16%, thereby extending its year-to-date losses to more than 37%, suggesting a strong bearish sentiment for the altcoin. On the other hand, the Ethereum ETF outflows have also surged last week, suggesting dropping institutional interest. Will Ethereum Price Crash Further From Here? The world’s largest altcoin Ethereum (ETH) has come under strong bearish grip eroding all of its gains following the US Presidential election in November 2024. Crypto analyst Ali Martinez highlighted that Ethereum is breaking down of a parallel channel, a technical pattern that suggests bearish price action ahead. If Ethereum price fails to hold this support, it can crash by another 75% all the way to $1,250 levels. Source: Ali Martinez Today’s ETH price drop comes amid the broader crypto market correction as market liquidations soar to more than $600 million as per the Coinglass data . Additionally, the ETH open interest has dropped by 2.67% to $19 billion, hinting bearish sentiment among futures traders. Ethereum Liquidations Skyrocket The Ethereum market faced significant turbulence yesterday, with over $230 million in long positions liquidated, according to crypto analyst Ali Martinez. The wave of liquidations has shaken out overleveraged traders, highlighting the current market volatility surrounding the altcoin. Source: Ali Charts Furthermore, the institutional interest in Ethereum has been falling fast. During the last week, the total outflows from spot Ethereum ETFs surged over $120 million. Despite this fall, crypto market analysts continue to stay bullish for ETH expecting it to kickstart its recovery journey again. Will ETH Recover Anytime Soon? Despite the bearish onslaught over the past few weeks, market analysts continue to be bullish about an Ethereum price recovery in the coming days. Crypto analyst Ali Martinez reports that Ethereum’s largest whales have purchased 330,000 ETH in the past 48 hours, signaling strong accumulation by major holders. Source: Ali Martinez Additionally, over 600,000 ETH have been withdrawn from crypto exchanges in the last week, pointing to a potential shift toward long-term holding. These trends highlight growing confidence among large investors and reduced selling pressure on exchanges. For Ethereum momentum to shift on the upside, the bulls must reclaim $2,460 resistance. A massive 10.95 million investors hold ETH at these levels, and thus, investors need to break past this to trigger a rally to the upside. Crypto trader and analyst Crypto Patel has expressed bullish sentiment on Ethereum (ETH), emphasizing his strategy of buying during market dips. “Buying $ETH on every dip for $10k/ETH,” Patel shared. He believes that this is the last opportunity for accumulation before Ethereum’s next major price surge.

El Salvador has continued its aggressive Bitcoin buying strategy despite pressure from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to halt purchases, increasing its holdings to 6,111 BTC. El Salvador Defies IMF, Continues Bitcoin Accumulation The Central American country added 6 BTC to its reserves on Sunday, bringing its total holdings to 6,111.18 BTC, worth about $504 million at current market prices. That’s up from 6,072 BTC on Feb. 9, according to the country’s Bitcoin Office. IMF Agreement and Rising Tensions El Salvador reached a $1.4 billion loan agreement with the IMF in December, with the total financial package expected to exceed $3.5 billion. As part of the deal, the country agreed to reduce its Bitcoin engagement in exchange for financing. In January, the Salvadoran Legislative Assembly passed a bill to comply with IMF requirements tied to the loan. On March 3, the IMF released a new report reinforcing the expectation that El Salvador will limit government involvement in Bitcoin-related activities. Bukele Remains Firm on Bitcoin Strategy Despite these agreements, President Nayib Bukele has made it clear that El Salvador will not stop accumulating Bitcoin. In a March 5 post on X (formerly Twitter), Bukele countered speculation that the country would abandon its Bitcoin-first approach. “No, it won’t stop,” Bukele wrote. “If it didn’t stop when the world shut us out and most ‘bitcoinists’ abandoned us, it won’t stop now and it won’t stop in the future.” El Salvador became the first country to accept Bitcoin as legal tender in September 2021, a move that initially drew criticism from global financial institutions including the IMF and the World Bank. The government has since launched initiatives such as Bitcoin-backed bonds and a volcanic-powered Bitcoin mining operation. Despite concerns from the IMF and credit rating agencies, the Bukele administration continues to frame Bitcoin adoption as a long-term strategy for financial independence and economic growth. *This is not investment advice.
