$WhiteWhale surged past a $95M market cap after its Bybit spot listing, with one trader turning $343 into $773K — a 2,253× return.

On March 20, Cointelegraph reported that the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals denied prediction market platform Kalshi’s application. The federal appeals court greenlit Nevada’s regulatory body to enforce a temporary restraining order (TRO) against Kalshi, blocking it from offering sports-related event contracts. Earlier this month, Nevada’s Gaming Control Board issued a cease-and-desist letter to Kalshi, claiming its sports event contracts qualify as unlicensed sports betting under state law. Kalshi countered that its contracts fall under the exclusive federal purview of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), adding that any restrictions would cause “imminent harm” to the firm. Attorney Daniel Wallach noted a TRO against Kalshi “appears imminent”—and since TROs aren’t appealable in Nevada, Kalshi will have to exit the state market for at least 14 days, pending a preliminary injunction hearing. Kalshi and rivals including Polymarket, Crypto.com, Coinbase, and ot

On March 20, per an official announcement, Binance will support the Dai (DAI) token swap and rebrand it to USDS (USDS). Binance will suspend trading and delist all existing DAI spot trading pairs—BTC/DAI, DAI/JPY, ETH/DAI, and USDT/DAI—on April 7, 2026, at 11:00 UTC+8.

On March 20th, per Hyperinsight monitoring (via its Telegram channel: https://t.me/HyperInsight): At 11:00 PM UTC last night, a whale with an address starting with 0x099 aggressively bought the dip when BTC briefly fell below $69,000—stacking 40x leveraged long positions on BTC. The position quickly swelled to $2.89 million, with an average entry price of $68,896 and a liquidation price of $67,915. Following a slight price rebound today, the position holds ~$66,000 in unrealized gains (an 89% return). The whale has also placed a market stop-loss order to close the position at breakeven if BTC drops back to $69,000; no profits have been realized yet.

On March 20, HTX DeepThink columnist and HTX Research researcher Chloe noted that the current impact of macro variables on the crypto market has shifted—from "loose policy expectations fueling risk appetite" to "prolonged high interest rates and energy shocks pushing up inflation tail risks." While the Fed stuck to its median forecast of one rate cut this year, Powell’s core message was unambiguous: further cuts won’t happen if inflation doesn’t fall meaningfully. Short-term U.S. Treasury yields rose afterward, signaling the market is unwinding overly optimistic rate-cut expectations. In crypto, high-beta altcoins, AI-themed tokens, and purely narrative-driven assets are most vulnerable. Meanwhile, tensions in the Middle East have lifted oil prices, reviving risks of "second-round inflation." While the Bank of Japan (BOJ) held rates steady, its path toward future rate hikes remains intact. Over the next few weeks, watch for two key catalysts: whether U.S. inflation and jobs da

CoinDesk reports: On Friday, March 20, several major economies unveiled joint measures to stabilize the energy market. Bitcoin rallied alongside oil prices, briefly hitting $70,800—up more than 1% on the day—as it extended its recovery from an overnight low below $68,900. Ethereum, XRP, and SOL (mainstream altcoins) posted gains of under 1%, underperforming Bitcoin. Oil markets reacted to a joint statement from the UK, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, and Japan: the six nations announced energy market stabilization measures and coordinated actions to secure shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. They condemned Iran’s actions (per the UK Prime Minister’s office statement) and called for an immediate halt. WTI crude dropped nearly 2% to $93.80 per barrel, while Brent crude saw a comparable decline. Earlier this week, U.S. Treasury Secretary Benson noted the U.S. could soon lift sanctions on Iranian oil tankers and weigh releasing strategic reserves. But the temporary oil drop

On March 20th, per LookOnChain, a whale address beginning with 1EnPnm withdrew 460 Bitcoins from Binance—valued at roughly $32.41 million—after three months of inactivity.
