Cryptocurrency News Today: Market Updates & Analysis podcast.Hey folks, Crypto Willy here, your go-to buddy for all things blockchain, Bitcoin, and decentralized dough. Kicking off this week's crypto roundup from February 25 to March 3, 2026—markets are clawing back from that brutal February bloodbath, where Bitcoin shed nearly 15% amid Trump's tariff threats and Iran tensions rattling risk assets.Bitcoin's holding steady at $68,771 as of 2:45 p.m. Eastern today, up a smidge $28 from yesterday but still down $17K year-over-year, per Fortune's live ticker. Ethereum's chilling at $1,988, XRP at $1.36, and Tether's rock-solid at $1.00. altFINS reports BTC consolidated around $68,246 with a +3.4% daily pop, hitting $69,261 highs before easing—buyers are dipping toes, but macro ghosts like Brent crude spikes from US-Israel-Iran drama keep euphoria in check.BeInCrypto nails the vibe: five red months since October 2025, Bitcoin's 0.55 correlation to S&P 500 screaming "risk-on asset," not hedge, as Kevin Crowther from KC Private Wealth warns Trump's uncertainty could drag it lower. Key levels? Upside resistance at $71,300, breakdown risk below $62,300 toward $56,800 Fib support. But optimists like analyst Kılıç spot capitulation in extreme fear and ETF outflows, priming a local bounce via whale buys.Altcoins? Solana's crushing on-chain: 643M transactions, 28.6M users, $250B DEX volume up 63% WoW, per altFINS, with $31M inflows and Alpenglow upgrade hype. XRP snagged $33.4M inflows via CoinShares, thanks to Ripple's SEC win and ETF buzz. NEAR jumped 12.3%, MORPHO 9.5%, Hyperliquid hit $14M fees—smart money's parking in stables amid uneven recovery.Zerocap's weekly wrap flips the script: US Spot BTC ETFs saw $787M inflows, bucking five-week outflows, signaling spot demand resilience. Binance Square flags March fireworks—US unemployment data March 6, South Korea's Digital Asset Task Force March 10, Polkadot's issuance cut March 14, WLFI airdrop March 20, Trump-China visit March 30. Crypto.com eyes Solana, Chainlink, XRP as March watches.Bottom line, pals: cautious rebound, on-chain fire, macro minefield. Could March spark the rally? Fingers crossed.Thanks for tuning in—catch you next week for more! This has been a Quiet Please production. For me, check out QuietPlease.ai.
