JPMorgan Chase: The market value of 14 listed Bitcoin mining companies shrank by 25% in March, the worst month in history

According to Decrypt, JPMorgan Chase said in a report on Tuesday that Bitcoin miners continue to face challenges, and 14 listed mining companies in the field collectively experienced the worst month on record in March. The Bitcoin miners it tracks, including companies such as MARA and Core Scientific, saw their market value shrink by a total of 25%, or about $6 billion, last month. In addition, the report stated that companies with high-performance computing businesses "performed pure Bitcoin miners for the second consecutive month." JPMorgan Chase data showed that the 14 listed mining companies also performed poorly in February, when their total market value also lost more than 20%, also about $6 billion.

Grayscale executives: The impact of tariffs on cryptocurrencies may have been "priced in", and the worst case scenario is likely to have passed

According to CoinDesk, Grayscale Research Director Zach Pandl said that the impact of tariffs on cryptocurrencies may have been "priced in" and the worst may be over. Pandl estimates that tariffs have reduced economic growth by 2% so far this year. But Trump's so-called "Liberation Day" may actually prevent the worst pain felt by financial markets. Pandl said: "If we see that the tariff policy announced on Wednesday is both tough and phased, and focused on the 15 countries they seem to be targeting, I expect the market to rebound on the news. Once we get through this announcement period, the cryptocurrency market may refocus on fundamentals, which are very positive." Pandl said that if institutions do not have high confidence in the digital asset field and its related policies, announcements like Circle's initial public offering (IPO) will not happen. In addition, Pandl believes that tariffs will increase demand for non-US dollar currencies. Despite the current market pessimism about prices, Pandl still believes that Bitcoin will hit a record high this year. He said: "If I don't think Bitcoin will win in the long run, I won't quit my job on Wall Street."

Elon Musk's X platform urges Supreme Court to protect Coinbase users from IRS investigation

Elon Musk's X-Platform is urging the U.S. Supreme Court to protect companies from subpoenas issued by federal law enforcement agencies "without reasonable suspicion" to avoid being forced to disclose sensitive user financial data, according to Bloomberg. X-Platform asked the judge to reconsider a lower court ruling that allowed the IRS to enforce a subpoena for Coinbase customer transaction records in a tax investigation of more than 14,000 users of the crypto exchange. X-Platform's lawyers argued in a filing last week that X-Platform stores subscription and advertising data and plans to eventually provide financial services to users, but the Constitution does not allow "warrantless searches of customer records held by third-party service providers" when these companies have signed nondisclosure agreements with users.

Eric Trump says bank bans and boycott culture have prompted his family to continue investing in the crypto industry

According to The Block, Eric Trump, the second son of the US President, revealed in an exclusive interview with Fox Business Channel that it is the three factors of "autonomy, bank blocking and boycott culture" which drive his family to continue to increase its layout in the crypto industry. Eric Trump said on Tuesday when discussing the “weaponization” of the Trump family by banks: “I never thought I would get involved in the field of cryptocurrency before every bank cancelled their business with us for no reason, just because my father was in politics. They targeted us viciously. It was not until then that I realized the importance of cryptocurrency.” In addition to praising the anti-censorship characteristics of cryptocurrency, Eric Trump also pointed out that this technology is a huge improvement over the contemporary financial system. He said that cryptocurrency is “cheaper, faster and more transparent.” Cryptocurrency can do “everything” that banks can do better. Eric Trump specifically pointed out that stablecoins will help support the US dollar while fundamentally changing the face of “finance and banking” in the next few decades.
