Bitcoin steadies as altcoins surge in liquidity-driven relief rally

Bitcoin steadied near $67,300 after briefly dropping to around $65,112, while a broad group of altcoins outperformed as traders covered short positions and rotated into smaller-cap tokens. The rebound looked more like a liquidity-driven relief move than the start of a fully confirmed trend reversal.

Bittensor’s TAO token has surged about 160% in a little over a month, but the latest technical setup is now flashing warning signs that the rally may be approaching a vulnerable stage.

Bitcoin spot ETFs extend seven-day inflow run but total capital remains far below October peak

U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds have extended their latest inflow streak, adding about $1.2 billion over seven consecutive sessions and pointing to a fresh wave of institutional demand. The sustained run of inflows has helped reinforce Bitcoin’s recent advance, even if the absolute scale of buying still trails the market’s stronger burst from October 2025.
US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded six-day inflow streak as BTC tested $75,000 resistance

U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds extended their winning stretch through Monday, March 17, 2026, posting six straight days of net inflows. That marked the longest uninterrupted inflow run since October 2025 and arrived alongside a sharp rebound in Bitcoin toward the $74,000 to $75,000 range.
AI data‑center “gold rush” pulls Bitcoin miners into AI hosting, raising security and profit questions

BitMine Immersion Technologies added 35,000 ETH on February 18, 2026, extending a rapid accumulation phase that pushed its corporate treasury to roughly 4.37 million ETH by February 19.

Optimism’s OP Token Plunges after Coinbase’s Base Abandons OP Stack

Optimism’s OP token slid hard, dropping more than 20% and briefly approaching a 23% decline within a 24-hour window after Coinbase’s Base said it would move off the OP Stack in favor of a unified, in-house technology stack. The market treated the announcement as a direct hit to Optimism’s Superchain narrative and repriced OP rapidly.
Solana Corporate Treasuries Report More Than $1.5 Billion in Unrealized SOL Losses

Public companies that leaned heavily into SOL as a treasury asset absorbed meaningful mark-to-market damage after SOL fell roughly 40% over a 30-day window and hit an eight-month low in early February 2026. That drawdown didn’t just hit paper P&L; it also paused corporate accumulation and translated into sharper equity volatility for issuers whose balance […]
Whales Dumped, Not Bought, 40.000 BTC During $60K Dip

On-chain analytics indicate that more than 40,000 BTC flowed out of the largest whale wallets during the sell-off around the $60,000 level. This pattern runs counter to the popular “whales bought the dip” storyline and instead suggests that the biggest holders were a meaningful source of sell-side pressure during the move.
NFT Market Cap Falls to $1.46B, Reversing Much of the 2021 Boom

The NFT market is back near its pre-hype baseline. As of February 6, 2026, aggregate NFT sector valuation was cited around $1.46 billion, a steep reset from the ~$22 billion peak seen in 2021.
