What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario

Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Bitcoin witnessed selling pressure over the past week as prices dropped below the $67,000 mark, but then easing up over the past 24 hours as price movement flattened. Bitcoin’s closest support level lies at $64,825, while the next resistance point awaits at $66,978. Meanwhile, Ethereum too has witnessed marginal selling pressure in the past week as the market gears up for Ethereum ETFs to go live in early July. The overall sentiment in the market continues to point to greed.”

Rajagopal Menon, Vice President, WazirX, said, “Bitcoin remains below its 50-day moving average, a technical indicator that could suggest a potential short-term price decline. However, a healthy buffer above the key 200-day moving average hints at a possible long-term bullish trend. If bulls can push Bitcoin above the 50-day hurdle at $66,425, it could trigger a rally towards the crucial resistance level of $69,000. Breaking decisively above that level could even put the coveted all-time high of $73,808 back on the table.”

Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “The Biden administration is set to discuss bitcoin policy in early July, signalling a potential shift in US crypto strategy. The round table is organized by the pro-crypto-democratic Rep. Silicon Valley’s Ro Khanna and will be attended by billionaire Mark Cuban and other lawmakers. The meeting aims to maintain US leadership in bitcoin and blockchain innovation amid regulatory debates. Cuban believes Biden’s crypto stance could influence the 2024 election. Meanwhile, Trump has pledged to end Biden’s “war on crypto” and support bitcoin mining, promising a more favourable regulatory environment if elected. Bitcoin is trading around $66,400 with a bearish outlook.”

Wisconsin lawmakers crack down on cryptocurrency scams

Wisconsin lawmakers crack down on cryptocurrency scams

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) — A new bipartisan bill is the state legislature is attempting to keep Wisconsinites safe from scammers.

Assembly Bill 968 creates consumer protections around cryptocurrency kiosks—and is aimed at stopping criminals from using crypto-kiosks to steal from victims. It was passed by the assembly last month and is now heading to the senate.

Americans lost over $330 million to scams involving crypto-kiosks in 2025.

As amended; the bill that passed the assembly would:

set daily transaction limits at $1,000
require cryptocurrency-kiosk operators to provide users with receipts
implement consumer-identification measures for every transaction
allow scam victims to receive refunds

“This also requires crypto-kiosk operators to be licensed as a money transmitter with the Department of Financial Institutions,” said bill co-author Representative Dean Kaufert (R-Neenah). “Right now there is no state statute with regards to these crypto machines, and there has to be some oversight.”

Over 700 cryptocurrency kiosks are located in convenience stores, gas stations, restaurants, and other locations throughout Wisconsin.

Detective Kevin Bahl with the Green Bay Police Department says although these scams don’t discriminate, scammers usually target the senior population.

“That’s because they’re the ones with more of the built up funds; that they can lose a significant of money, but we have seen a lot of younger victims too,” said Det. Bahl. “Victims are losing anywhere between a couple thousand dollars, all the way up to hundreds of thousands of dollars.”

The senate will reconvene beginning the second week of March, where Rep. Kaufert believes they will pass Senate Bill 975. Then the bill will go to the governor for approval by April 1. If approved, the law would likely go into effect around June.

Crypto Sector Suffers Exodus of Reliable Retail Investors | PYMNTS.com

Retail investors are reportedly leaving the cryptocurrency sector, robbing the industry of a dependable driver.

That’s according to a report Sunday (March 1) from Bloomberg News, which says the speculative demand that once centered around crypto has shifted into stocks.

Since late 2024, retail investors have steadily shifted toward equities, a trend that sped up following the crypto crash last October, the report said, citing a new report from market-maker Wintermute which itself drew from JPMorgan Chase data.

Bloomberg characterizes the shift as striking at something key to the crypto’s market structure, which has long relied on investor mood as a key demand driver. If that demand is moving to other trades, it goes against the belief that digital assets can recover without something to draw back retail investors.

“In prior cycles, excess retail risk appetite tended to concentrate in crypto,” said Evgeny Gaevoy, CEO of Wintermute, who added that crypto is now “one of many risky-asset classes with similar volatility profile that retail can use to invest and speculate on.”

More than $19 billion in positions were wiped out in October — $7 billion of them in less than an hour — liquidating more than 1.6 million traders, the report added.

Since then, there’s been “a near-complete pivot into equities that is still ongoing,” the Wintermute said. Bitcoin has fallen from its record high of around $126,000 down to $66,000 amid reports of American and Israeli strikes against Iran, the report added.

In other digital assets news, PYMNTS wrote last week about the significance of Morgan Stanley’s application before the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) for a charter for a digital asset-focused national trust bank.

As that report said, a trust bank, as opposed to a traditional commercial bank, does not offer loans or deposits, but rather focuses on custody, fiduciary services and asset administration, basically acting as a highly regulated vault/legal steward. This structure, PYMNTS added, could be ideally suited to digital assets.

“The trust bank charter offers a solution,” the report added. “It allows a firm to handle digital assets under the supervision of the OCC while avoiding the capital and liquidity requirements associated with deposit-taking institutions. In regulatory terms, it is a bridge. In strategic terms, it could be an on-ramp for traditional finance to take over functions once dominated by crypto-native firms.”
