After failing to reclaim the important $3k level in February, Ethereum released pressure again and plunged to a key support level. It has seen a major recovery following a bounce back but is now losing steam. Ethereum has continued to mirror Bitcoin’s weekly movement but has failed to break below its critical $2,100 level, which has been providing support for the past four months. Respecting this critical level again, it bounced and recovered nicely to where it’s changing hands at around $2,378. The $2,550 level has posted a threat to the buyers in the past hours and is now holding it as resistance. A surge above it could trigger more increases in the coming days. Although it has formed a double-top pattern on the weekly chart, the price may crash soon. The potential target level for such a crash is $1,650. As soon as the price touches this level, a major bounceback is expected. The only condition for a bullish move right now is holding the critical support level. If it continues to strengthen, we may see a strong rally above the important $3k level before considering a reversal. While the trend is still in favour of the bears, they appear set for another rally. ETH’s Key Level To Watch Source: Tradingview The potential support levels for selling right now are $2,310 and $2,076. If the price breaks lower, $1,900 and $1,700 are the next support levels to consider for a test. In case of a reversal, ETH must retake a lot of resistance on the way up. For now, the close resistance level to watch for a test is $2,550 and $2,700. Higher resistance levels to keep in mind are $2,920 and $3,213. Key Resistance Levels: $2,550, $2,920, $3,213 Key Support Levels: $2,310, $2,076, $1,900 Spot Price: $2,378 Trend: Bearish Volatility: High Disclosure: This is not trading or investment advice.

After forming a double-top pattern, Bitcoin broke down to a four-month low but has recovered significantly from the dip. It currently appears strong, but the next direction remains unknown while bearish. As expected, Bitcoin’s price collapsed last week following a strong breakthrough at the crucial $90k level, which has been standing as support for more than three months. It tested $78.2k with a long wick and closed that week’s price well above the lost crucial support. The collapse started after losing grip above the $95k level, but the price interestingly retested that level during yesterday’s surge – completing a break and retest pattern. The level was rejected, and the price dropped to around $93.6k at the time of writing. Retaking the rejected high with a surge could fuel more buying towards the $100k mark. This could signal a trend shift on the daily chart. But looking at the market, there’s no conviction for a shift yet following the latest price rejection. Of course, Bitcoin’s downtrend is still in play on the daily chart, but things are likely to change if the price stays well above the recent low. Otherwise, it may experience more dips in the coming days. Currently, it is gaining traction on the day. BTC’s Key Levels To Watch Source: Tradingview Marking the $95k level as resistance since last weekend, a push above it should advance recovery to $99,550. The $103,278 level is the next resistance to watch, followed by the $109,588 resistance. Towards the downside, the $91k level is providing support along with $85k and $80k. If the price collapses through these levels to reclaim last week’s $78,258 low, the next drop may surface at $71k. Key Resistance Levels: $99,550, $103,278, $109,588 Key Support Levels: $91,000, $85,000, $80,000 Spot Price: $93,615 Trend: Bearish Volatility: Low Disclosure: This is not trading or investment advice.

Crypto markets have lost more than 12% or almost $400 billion since the Sunday peak, and one of the largest losers has been Ethereum. ETH prices crashed to their lowest levels in 16 months, plunging 15% to $2,035 during early trading in Asia on Tuesday morning. The last time ETH traded below $2,000 was in November 2023, as the asset was slowly thawing from crypto winter. Ethereum has now returned to bear market levels and has dumped 50% since it tapped $4,000 in early December 2024. ETH Death Predicted Analyst ‘Nebraskangooner’ looked at the monthly timeframe chart and identified a double-top formation before predicting that prices would break down to the $1,200 level. This would send ETH back to bear market lows from late 2022 when it bottomed out at around $1,100. $ETH Monthly double top confirmed. Measured pattern breakdown target is somewhere close to $1200 https://t.co/2T4JCzBloh pic.twitter.com/mM29h3LOtI — Nebraskangooner (@Nebraskangooner) March 4, 2025 Analyst Dana Marlane commented that Ethereum has broken its uptrend and “appears to have confirmed a double top that could take price back to $1,000.” The ETH angst was shared among other analysts. “Ethereum may genuinely be one of the worst charts I have ever seen,” said Arete Capital managing partner McKenna. Ethereum may genuinely be one of the worst charts I have ever seen. pic.twitter.com/4nOWi0ZuyH — McKenna (@Crypto_McKenna) March 3, 2025 The ‘Anonymous Crypto Predictions’ feed said that ETH needed to close above the 200-week moving average as it did last week. This long-term trend indicator is currently around the $2,500 level, and ETH is well below that. Additionally, the ETH/BTC ratio, or price of ether in terms of bitcoin, fell to a five-year low of 0.024 this week as the asset tanked. #Ethereum – The key level to watch is the 200 weekly (black line). We need to close back above that like we did last week. Expect lots of manipulation and volatility. pic.twitter.com/aIskRebYqV — Anonymous | Crypto Predictions (@Crypto_Twittier) March 4, 2025 Flight to Risk-Off Many were questioning why crypto was crashing in such a bullish environment in the United States following years of being persecuted under the Biden administration. The Kobeissi Letter explained that the real driver here is the global move towards the risk-off trade and assets. “As trade war tensions rise and economic policy uncertainty broadens, ALL risky assets are falling. This was seen in stocks, crypto and oil prices, which all fell sharply today.” Moreover, Bitcoin is no longer seen as a store of value, having decoupled from gold, which hit an all-time high in late February. When Bitcoin falls, the digital lemmings follow, and Ethereum has been the first off the cliff. What is happening with crypto? Crypto markets are now worth -$100 billion LESS than they were prior to the US Crypto Reserve announcement. Over the last 24 hours, crypto has erased -$500 BILLION of market cap in a massive reversal. Here’s what you need to know.

The post Nasdaq Filing for Grayscale Hedera ETF: What It Means for HBAR Price appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC’s move to file a 19b-4 form with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission to list and trade Grayscale’s spot Hedera ETF has created immense excitement in the cryptocurrency market , especially the Hedera market. In the last seven days, the Hedera price has experienced a surge of 17.5%. In the last hour alone, the market has grown by around 0.5%. Let’s analyse the scenario deeper. Nasdaq Files for Grayscale’s Hedera ETF It was on Monday that the Nasdaq filed the form with the US SEC to list and trade the spot HBAR ETF of Grayscale. For an ETF to be traded on a major stock exchange, the exchange needs SEC approval. Nasdaq files 19b-4 to list & trade Grayscale Hedera ETF (HBAR)… pic.twitter.com/lbuyymptU7 — Nate Geraci (@NateGeraci) March 3, 2025 A 19b-4 form is a key regulatory document that facilitates the introduction of new investment products like ETFs into the stock market. As soon as the SEC acknowledges the filing, the regulator beings the approval process. For this reason, the filing is a crucial step in the process. HBAR’s Strong ETF Approval Chances It was not the first time that the Nasdaq approached the SEC to seek its approval to list and trade a spot Hedera ETF. Earlier, a 19b-4 form was submitted to the US SEC for the spot HBAR ETF of Canary Capital. Importantly, renowned ETF analyst Eric Balchunas recently predicted that Hedera and Litecoin ETFs have the best chance of winning the approval of the SEC compared to other Altcoin ETFs. Hedera: Everything One Should Know Simply put, Hedera is a public network where anyone can build and use applications. Instead of using a traditional blockchain, Hedera uses a technology called “hashgraph.” This technology is designed to be faster, more secure, and more efficient than many blockchain systems. According to Jonathan Dotan , the founder of EQTYLAB, “Hedera’s enterprise-grade infrastructure, backed by a Council of global leaders like Dell Technologies, sets it apart from other blockchains by providing the scalability and security essential for bringing Verifiable Compute to market. Its visionary leadership team has long shaped the network to meet real-world business needs, positioning it as a trusted platform for enterprise adoption.” HBAR Price Reaction In the last 30 days, the Hedera market has seen a drop of 18.7%. However, in the last seven days, it has experienced a rise of 17.5%. In the last one hour alone, the market has surged by over 0.5%. The total market cap of HBAR is $9,543,646,221. Its 24-hour trading volume stands at $756,217,012. .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; } .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; } .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; } @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!

PayPal and HDFC Bank-backed Mintoak has acquired Digiledge in a $3.5 million deal, marking the first acquisition in India’s central bank digital currency space. Mintoak, an Indian ecommerce startup that facilitates merchant payments, has acquired Digiledge in a deal worth around $3.5 million, marking the first acquisition in India’s CBDC area, Reuters, has learned , citing sources close to the matter. With Digiledge, which specializes in CBDC and bill payments, Mintoak’s partner banks — HDFC Bank, Axis Bank, and SBI — could offer payment solutions in e-rupee, India’s form of CBDC. With the acquisition, Mintoak CEO Raman Khanduja says the firm wants to make it “easier for merchant acquirers to grow and help more small and medium enterprises access digital tools and financial services.” You might also like: India’s CBDC platform hits 5m users 20 months after pilot launch India’s central bank, the Reserve Bank of India, launched its e-rupee pilot in December 2022. Initially, only banks could use it, but the scope expanded to payment firms in April 2023. The e-rupee adoption has been sluggish, with the RBI reporting 1 million retail transactions by late June 2024, a milestone reached only after local banks introduced incentives and partially paid employee salaries using the state-issued digital currency. The RBI had previously urged banks to increase transactions to at least 1 million per day by late 2023 to test the system’s scalability. However, this push has since ceased, casting doubt on the future of the digital currency initiative due to the gap between incentivized metrics and actual user adoption.

The SEC has dismissed its lawsuit against Kraken with prejudice, marking a broader retreat from crypto enforcement actions and signaling a potential shift in regulatory strategy. Regulatory Case Ends Without Penalties The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has agreed to dismiss its lawsuit against Kraken with prejudice, preventing the regulator from refiling the case in the future. The crypto exchange confirmed the development, stating that the case was dropped without any admission of wrongdoing, penalties, or required changes to its business operations. Kraken framed the SEC’s decision as a pivotal moment for the crypto industry in the United States, suggesting it signals the end of a politically driven crackdown that has hampered innovation and investment. The exchange expressed optimism about a more stable regulatory landscape moving forward. The announcement from Kraken added, “The SEC’s decision to dismiss its lawsuit against us (and many others) is more than just a legal victory—it’s a turning point for the future of crypto in the US. It ends a wasteful, politically motivated campaign, lifts uncertainty that stifled innovation and investment, and clears the path toward a stable, forward-thinking regulatory regime. Legal Battle and Regulatory Uncertainty The SEC initially sued Kraken in November 2023, accusing the platform of operating as an unregistered securities exchange, broker, dealer, and clearing agency. The regulator alleged that Kraken facilitated the trading of crypto asset securities without proper registration, depriving investors of key protections such as audits, disclosures, and oversight. Kraken denied the allegations and countered that the SEC had not provided clear guidelines on whether digital assets should be classified as securities. The exchange filed a motion to dismiss the case, citing regulatory uncertainty and a lack of fair notice. While a federal judge allowed certain aspects of Kraken’s defense to proceed, the SEC continued to pursue its claims until now. Broader Implications for Crypto Regulation Kraken acknowledged the role of the new leadership at the SEC and the White House in influencing the decision, suggesting a shift in regulatory priorities. The company credited what it described as “bold and thoughtful” leadership for fostering a new era of crypto innovation. Senior Advisor Marco Santori celebrated the outcome, stating, “We beat the SEC! Congratulations to the best legal team in crypto. Fighting—and beating—the SEC was not foretold. Lawyers, lobbyists, and everyone in between… We had to earn it.” SEC Cases Dropping like Flies The dismissal follows a series of dropped crypto-related enforcement actions by the SEC under Acting Chairman Mark Uyeda. The regulator recently abandoned cases against Gemini, Consensys, Robinhood, and Uniswap, while also agreeing to dismiss its lawsuit against Coinbase with prejudice. With the SEC scaling back its aggressive stance against crypto firms, industry participants are hopeful that future regulatory efforts will provide clearer guidelines rather than rely on enforcement-driven approaches.
