Bitcoin Blasts Off 

Bitcoin had a stellar start to the week, pushing up towards $90,000 as it regained its bullish mojo and set its sights upwards.

Bitcoin

Bitcoin has been rising in an upwards channel, creating higher highs and higher lows. 

This led bitcoin to rise to just under $89,000 on Monday. 

From here, bitcoin could attempt to break out of the channel to the upside. However, failing to do so would put the structure at risk if the price were to tumble downwards.

Bitcoin Zooming Out

On the weekly time frame, we can see confluence from all the macro highs along a diagonal channel. 

Taking the two 2021 highs and the point at which bitcoin found resistance last year, it can be observed that bitcoin fell into this channel upon its most recent pullback. 

Bitcoin also has the 50 weekly moving average below, with the 100 weekly moving average beginning to move into the 2024 range.

Polkadot

Polkadot tested its macro range lows on the market correction and held it convincingly. 

The price has since witnessed strength and is steadily climbing back towards a key pivot point. 

If DOT can reclaim this zone, ($5.50), it could ignite a much stronger rally. Still, the macro range highs around the $10-$11 mark email the biggest battle for the price to begin a much larger rally.

Dogecoin

Dogecoin has fully retraced its election-fueled pump, returning to its origin. 

From here, DOGE must regain $0.25 to open the door to testing the next key level. On the downside, DOGE has strong levels where the price could bounce upon a further bitcoin drop. 

Regarding the broader picture, Dogecoin will likely have to reclaim $0.42 to open the door for a rally towards its all-time high.

Fear & Greed Index

The Fear and Greed Index resides at 46, moving closer to Neutral but still within Fear despite bitcoin’s upside move. 

This appears to be something the market has been waiting for to calm fears and make investors excited again.

Important Dates

Friday 28 March, 12:30 UTC - Core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE)

The US Bureau of Economic Analysis releases the core PCE data, which measures the average amount of money consumers spend monthly in the economy. 

PCE is released in two formats: month-over-month and year-on-year. The data also removes volatile products, such as energy and food. 

The year-on-year data is forecast to come in at 2.7%, with the previous data at 2.6%.

Zenkō Prepares for Launch on BorgPad, Transforming the Engagement Economy with Token Rewards

Zenkō is revolutionising brand marketing with a “for good” engagement economy, turning traditional ad spending into real-world impact. Backed by Apechain and Solana, it drives lower acquisition costs, fuels token growth, and fights greenwashing. Learn more about its BorgPad Draft Picks launch and 25m token airdrop!

Zenkō, the multi-purpose Real World Assets (RWA) protocol that turns traditional brand spend into a force for good while reducing costs and fueling growth, has officially announced its impending TGE and is featured in the BorgPad Draft Picks program.

Built on Apechain, with additional integrations across Solana for liquidity, Zenkō is poised to disrupt global brand marketing and customer engagement by offering a self-sustaining, cause-driven token economy. Reducing acquisition costs and fuelling growth for Brands, Enterprises, Professional Sports and Education.

Driving a ‘For Good’ Engagement Economy for Massive Token Growth Potential Rising costs. Diminishing returns. We are in a broken system where third parties like Meta, X, and Google own the relationship with the consumer—forcing brands to pay more for less real engagement. Zenkō directly addresses this and sits at the heart of this engagement economy, enabling brands to transform a portion of conventional ad budgets and marketing spend into engagement rewards that fund social and environmental causes—from planting trees to removing plastic from the oceans to creating meals for children in food poverty.

This approach doesn’t just reduce cost-per-lead and engagement with a self-funding ‘for good’ (as the cost of the incentive is less than the savings); it also enriches user participation and transparency and uses the blockchain to effectively end greenwashing concerns. Every action, whether reading a whitepaper, attending a webinar, running a mile or using the Zenkō ‘crypto-back’ shopping plug-in generates a token purchase.

“We’re turning solving marketing inefficiencies into creating real-world impact,” says Penny Abernathy, COO at Zenkō. “Instead of a brand paying more for fewer clicks, Zenkō lowers cost-per-engagement and channels part of that spend directly into a cause. It’s a clear win for businesses, users, and society.”

Why Invest in Zenkō?

1. Enormous Market Potential

Positioned at the intersection of digital advertising (heading for $1 trillion by 2029), professional sports ($800B industry), and thousands of schools struggling to meet net-zero goals. Even a fraction of these budgets translates into millions of on-chain transactions—all requiring Zenkō tokens.

2. All Brand Costs Are Self-Funding

Zenkō re-channels corporate marketing budgets, enabling brands to cut cost-per-lead more than the cost of the “good” they fund. Every interaction fuels on-chain rewards, real-world impact, and continuous buy pressure on the token.

3. Lower Cost of Engagement

By tying verifiable impact—planting trees, recovering ocean plastic, etc.—to crucial drop-off points, Zenkō drives up attendance, sign-ups, and downloads, amplifying marketing ROI.

4. Multi-Chain Deployment and Liquidity

Backed by Apechain, yet interoperable with Base, Solana, and more post launch, Zenkō taps into multiple liquidity pools and developer ecosystems. Brands, users, and investors benefit from frictionless cross-chain trading and a more robust, future-proof infrastructure.

5. Making Kindness Visible

By converting every user engagement into direct support for vital causes, Zenkō ensures marketing budgets deliver tangible results in an open, verifiable manner—empowering brands to do good without risking greenwashing.

Real Clients, Real Impact

With HP, Lenovo, Google, Hitachi, HSBC, and UNICEF among its pilot campaigns, Zenkō has proven its model can reduce cost-per-lead by up to 35%, cut B2B event engagement costs to $8 per stand check-in, and host Net Zero sports events at $0.70 per ticket sold. These pilots support a strong growth forecast that would see constant token buying pressure and 100% of all fees going to help the token economy.

“Zenkō isn’t just a token—it’s a circular economy,” adds Jason Sibley, CEO at Zenkō. “Brands benefit from lower ad costs, users earn verifiable rewards, and all fees go back into ecosystem growth through buybacks and investments, all while fostering global impact.”

Join us by supporting Zenko on Borgpads Draft Picks - https://borgpad.com/draft-picks/zenko. They have just announced a 25m token airdrop (worth $250k on listing) for all those that ‘pledge’ on draft picks, so make sure you follow them on social media for information on how to take part and earn your share.

Bitcoin and Biotech: A Lifeline Amid the Biotech Winter?

As biotech startups struggle through long approval cycles and funding droughts, Atai Life Sciences turns to Bitcoin for treasury stability. Could crypto be the survival key for next-gen medicine?

What Is Biotech, and Why Is It Struggling?

Biotechnology, or biotech, is a sector that applies biological systems and organisms to develop or create new technologies and products, often in healthcare. Think cutting-edge medicines, personalised therapies, gene editing, and synthetic biology.

But it's not a fast path to profit. Developing biotech treatments, especially pharmaceuticals, involves years (frequently over a decade) of rigorous testing and regulatory hurdles before approval and even longer before profits roll in.

Combine that with a more challenging economic climate, sticky inflation, rising interest rates, and cautious VC funding, and you've got what many are calling a “biotech winter.” Many startups are running out of cash, and investor patience is thinning.

🧠 Atai’s Bitcoin Bet on Biotech Survival

Enter Atai Life Sciences, a NASDAQ-listed biopharma innovator researching psychedelic-based treatments for mental health conditions using substances like DMT and MDMA.

🧬 On 20 March, Atai’s founder Christian Angermayer announced the company would allocate $5m to buy bitcoin.

🧬 Why? Because drug development is “cash-hungry, long-term,” and simply parking cash in low-yield accounts isn’t enough in an inflation-heavy environment.

🧬 Bitcoin, Angermayer argues, can act as a hedge against inflation and a treasury diversification strategy to protect and grow shareholder value over time.

“The necessary steps to achieve regulatory approval can easily take more than a decade.” — Christian Angermayer

💊 Why Are Biotech Firms Buying Bitcoin Now?

Atai isn’t alone. At least five public medical companies have recently bought bitcoin to boost treasury performance and investor value:

🔬Quantum BioPharma has spent $3.5m on BTC since December.

🔬Semler Scientific invested $280.4m to buy 3,192 BTC.

🔬Hoth Therapeutics, Acurx Pharmaceuticals, and Enlivex Therapeutics bought $1m in BTC.

With investor pressure mounting and innovation cycles stretching long into the future, biotech firms are turning to Bitcoin as a dual-purpose solution:

🧬Short-term diversification to strengthen treasury positioning

🧬Long-term hedge against economic instability and currency devaluation

📉 Market Pressure, Macro Stress — and Bitcoin’s Role

Bitcoin’s recent performance hasn’t been immune to macro pressures. US President Donald Trump’s tariff threats and whispers of a potential recession have added pressure to crypto markets.

Still, firms like Atai see BTC’s long-term potential. Angermayer acknowledges short-term volatility but insists that Bitcoin’s fundamentals make it a strong treasury asset — especially during times of uncertainty.

🧮 Atai’s Bitcoin Buy: By the Numbers

📌 Investment: $5m

📌 Current BTC price: ~$84,300

📌 Estimated BTC bought: ~59 BTC

📌 Global rank among public holders: #52 (per Bitbo)

🧬 The Takeaway

As biotech firms weather one of their harshest winters in years, Bitcoin may offer a thaw. As a strategic hedge or a statement of innovation, adding BTC to the balance sheet signals a new era of treasury management in medicine.

It’s a bold move, but in an industry where decades of patience are standard, biotech might be better suited for bitcoin than we think.

Binance Suspends Staffer Over Insider Trading Allegations in Wallet Division

An internal probe has been launched after whistleblowers flagged suspicious token trades tied to an employee’s past role

Binance has suspended a Binance Wallet employee over insider trading allegations tied to a token launch. An internal probe is currently underway, and potential legal action is possible.

🚨 Internal Investigation Uncovers Alleged Insider Trading

Crypto giant Binance has suspended a Binance Wallet team member after launching an internal investigation into allegations of insider trading linked to a token launch on BNB Chain.

In a statement posted to X on 25 March, Binance said its wallet division received a complaint alleging that one of its staff used non-public information to front-run a Token Generation Event (TGE) and profit from the subsequent price spike.

“We launched an investigation on March 23 after receiving a complaint about potential front-running trades using insider knowledge,” said the Binance Wallet team.

🧩 What Happened?

According to Binance, the employee, who joined the Binance Wallet team just last month, previously held a business development role at BNB Chain. While in that role, he reportedly learned of an upcoming TGE by a specific project and anticipated that the launch would spark significant investor interest.

Armed with this insider knowledge, the staffer allegedly:

🛒 Used multiple connected wallet addresses to buy large quantities of the project’s token before the public announcement

💸 Sold part of the holdings immediately after the token’s launch, realising substantial profits

The trades allegedly involved U DEX Platform (UUU), a token that surged in value following its debut on 23 March.

💼 Who’s Involved?

While Binance has not officially named the employee, several users on X have connected the dots to Freddie Ng, a former operations manager at BNB Chain who recently joined Binance Wallet’s business development team.

Blockchain sleuths flagged wallet activity tied to Ng’s .bnb address, noting that tokens were moved through a chain of wallets leading to one that profited over $82,000 from the UUU token launch.

One wallet linked to the case sold UUU tokens minutes after launch, cashing in before the token peaked at a $31.5 million market cap, according to DEX Screener.

⚖️ Binance’s Response & Next Steps

Binance stated the staffer was immediately suspended pending further disciplinary action. The company is also preparing to cooperate with authorities in the relevant jurisdiction to pursue potential legal action.

“This conduct is a clear violation of our internal policies. We are taking the matter seriously and will act accordingly,” Binance said.

The exchange emphasised that the initial complaint came from the crypto community, and credited anonymous whistleblowers for bringing the matter to light.

As a show of gratitude, Binance announced it would distribute a $100,000 reward among four anonymous whistleblowers who reported the incident through its dedicated email channel — not through public forums.

🔒 Strengthening Whistleblower Protections

Binance Wallet also reiterated that while it appreciates public efforts to call out misconduct, whistleblowers should submit tips privately to protect their identity and ensure proper investigation protocols.

“We only reward whistleblowers who use our designated channels — to protect their interests and maintain investigative integrity,” the team said.

🔍 What’s Next?

This case underscores the challenges of internal security in crypto exchanges and the importance of robust whistleblower mechanisms.

With Binance already under scrutiny from global regulators, this latest incident adds pressure to enforce stricter controls around insider access, especially as projects increasingly seek to launch via token events and DEX listings.

The matter remains under internal review, but Binance has made it clear that misconduct will not be tolerated.
