After several volatile sessions, cryptocurrencies are showing signs of recovery.
1️⃣ Bitcoin and Ethereum bounce back
Bitcoin has regained the $69,000 mark, while Ethereum has returned above $2,000.
Traders have also joked about the “holiday ambush strategy” — major geopolitical news often emerges when the US stock market closes, followed by a rally when the market reopens. This time, crypto also joined that rally.
2️⃣ FAI surged by a shocking 180%
The FAI Token surged 180% in just one day, fueling the narrative of combining privacy and AI.
Freysa also recorded a sharp increase. However, such rapid increases require additional capital inflows to sustain them. Otherwise, prices could cool down as quickly as they rose.
3️⃣ Uniswap Labs wins the lawsuit
Uniswap Labs continues to hold a legal advantage as a US court dismissed a class-action lawsuit, ruling that the developer is not responsible for third-party misuse of the protocol.
Even if it's just a small step, legal clarity is still important for the market.
4️⃣ Tether increases transparency
Tether has received its first assurance opinion on USAT reserves from Deloitte. This is a step forward in terms of transparency, although the market remains closely watching.
5️⃣ Pump.fun buys back Token
Pump.fun announced the repurchase of $9.19 million worth of PUMP Token . However, related wallets had previously taken profits of approximately $7.23 million.
One side buys back, the other side takes profits — a familiar liquidation mechanism in the market.
6️⃣ Expand your trading
Pump.fun also announced support for Token from external platforms and non-native assets, expanding mobile trading functionality.
7️⃣ US-Iran tensions
Iran claims to have closed the Strait of Hormuz, while the US insists the waterway remains open.
If this strait were actually disrupted, global energy markets could come under pressure, triggering volatility that could spill over into risky assets.
8️⃣ Forecasts from Wall Street
Tom Lee believes that US stocks could rise in March, and Bitcoin and Ethereum are likely to lead the recovery.
The market is warming up, but geopolitical risks remain a major variable. Investors will need to closely monitor both capital flows and macroeconomic news in the coming sessions.
