Bitcoin
Although it could not break the all-time record in February, the appetite of the bulls led to new peaks in many statistics.
Glassnode's anonymous on-chain analyst named Checkmate described a "notable" event in the BTC price in a post on X (formerly Twitter) on March 1.
Big rise from Bitcoin on a monthly basis
With the monthly close on February 29, Bitcoin bulls scored a clear victory.
According to data from CoinGlass, in February the parity made its biggest rise since December 2020 with 43.55%.

Each bull cycle in crypto has its own internal dynamics.
To examine altcoins, legacy investors would look at the BTC parity, not USDT (e.g. ETH/BTC). Because USDT came into our lives in 2014 and USDC in 2018.
However, stablecoins are now an undeniable reality of the cryptocurrency market. Together with stablecoins, bitcoin's own market cap already covers more than 60% of the total cryptocurrency market. Let me immediately explain how I accessed this data. As of the day I wrote this article, the dominance data of bitcoin and the two largest stablecoins are at BTC.D 54.30%, USDT.D 4.45% and USDC.D 1.30%.

BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager, is moving to launch its spot Bitcoin ETF IBIT in Brazil.
BlackRock Plans to Launch IBIT in Brazil
BlackRock, a leading investment asset management firm, has now identified Brazil as the next target to launch its flagship BTC fund, IBIT. Following approval from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and just less than two months after launching its spot Bitcoin ETF, BlackRock is on track to expand its offering into Brazil.

JPMorgan expects a decline in Bitcoin. Beyond the decline, the bank's analysts, led by Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou, also made a specific prediction and stated that the price could decline up to 42 thousand dollars.
Mining, hash rate and production cost details…
Stating that the halving will seriously increase miner costs, the report stated that there may be a decrease in the hash rate after the halving and included the following statements:
“Bitcoin production cost has always been a lower bound for the price. Our estimated cost is currently around $26,500. After the halving, logically, this price should increase to 53 thousand dollars. However, after the halving, there may be a 20% decrease in the hash rate as old mining devices lose power and are shut down. This can reduce the production cost to approximately 42 thousand dollars.”

In the 49th episode of Cointelegraph's Hashing It Out podcast, host Elisha Owusu Akyaw and guest Aleph Zero co-founder Antoni Zolciak examine the complex world of the Web3 ecosystem, focusing specifically on privacy-focused projects. Zolciak is deeply involved in the evolution of privacy protocols, highlighting the challenges and advances in protecting privacy in an increasingly digital age. This section also highlights the philosophical and technical foundations of privacy and discusses its effects on individuals and institutions.

The Bitcoin (BTC) bull is back, and so are the price swings. BTC has retreated after reaching new highs around $64,000 yesterday and is currently trading at $62,992, up 6.8 percent. The cryptocurrency's 30-day realized volatility, or the standard deviation of price changes over the last 30 days, increased from 30% to 46% in a week. Activity in the crypto derivatives market has also increased. According to Switzerland-based data platform Laevitas, $374 billion worth of crypto futures, consolidated futures and options contracts were traded in the last 24 hours. This is the highest single-day volume seen since November 2021. The increasing demand for leveraged products indicates an increase in risk appetite and price fluctuations caused by sudden liquidations.

JPMorgan announced that it expects Bitcoin to drop to 42 thousand dollars after the halving event in April.
