Crypto Market Report: March 10-11, 2025

This report synthesizes information from a large dump of messages from various cryptocurrency groups, providing insights for crypto enthusiasts and traders.

a. Summary

The crypto market experienced a significant downturn on March 10th and 11th, 2025, with the total market capitalization dropping by over $1.3 trillion since its December 16th ATH. This decline was driven by a combination of factors, including:

  • TradFi Volatility: The broader market experienced a risk-off sentiment, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq dropping by 3% and 4.3% respectively. This negatively impacted risk-on assets like cryptocurrencies.
  • Cyberattacks: Twitter/X experienced a massive cyberattack, causing widespread outages and impacting the flow of information and sentiment within the crypto community.
  • Regulatory Uncertainty: The SEC's decision to stop requiring crypto companies to register as trading systems, while potentially positive for the industry, also introduced uncertainty and volatility.
  • Institutional Activity: While Michael Saylor's Microstrategy announced a $21 billion at-the-market program to sell preferred stock, potentially leading to further Bitcoin acquisitions, the market reacted negatively, likely due to concerns about the timing and impact of this move.

Despite the bearish sentiment, there were some positive developments, including:

  • Mainnet Launches: Movement Network publicly launched its mainnet beta, integrating Facebook's Move Virtual Machine with Ethereum.
  • New Partnerships: 0G Labs partnered with Plume Network, focusing on decentralized AI agents for tokenizing real-world assets (RWAs).
  • Coinbase Expansion: Coinbase announced plans to launch 24/7 and perpetual-style futures trading in the US and hire 1,000 new US-based employees.
