South Korea’s Financial Services Commission (FSC) has announced it will expedite plans to allow corporations to participate in the digital asset market, The Herald Business reported on March 5. Speaking at an academic conference in Seoul, Hong Jae-seon, an official from the FSC's Virtual Asset Division, explained that while the commission has been pursuing corporate market participation since last year, progress was slowed by the need to address various incidents and review supplementary measures. "We are reviewing it with a focus on market stability, internal controls, and anti-money laundering (AML)," Hong said. He stated that corporate participation is a prerequisite for the successful implementation of the country's upcoming "second-phase" digital asset legislation, which will diversify business classifications within the sector. "We will do it as quickly as possible in conjunction with the discussions on the second-phase law," he added, noting that over-the-counter (OTC) trading and the role of market makers (LP) could also become necessary in the long term.

If Bitcoin follows historical cycles, it could see a short-term rebound in March before entering a correction phase in April and May, according to analyst Benjamin Cowen. The founder of IntoTheCryptoverse noted that BTC typically shows weakness in January and February, rallies in March, and then pulls back in the following two months, DailyHodl reported. He explained that the March rebound often concludes without surpassing the previous all-time high. Cowen suggested that if the price does rise, the $74,000 to $75,000 range could act as significant resistance. He added that the strongest resistance level is currently around $85,000 and that the overall downtrend remains intact.

Bitcoin is approaching a price range that could determine its future direction, according to an analysis by CoinDesk. The report notes that BTC's current price is nearing the $73,750 to $74,400 zone, which has acted as a key support or resistance level over the past two years. In the first quarter of 2024, a rally sparked by the launch of U.S. spot ETFs lost steam around $73,750, leading to a decline to $50,000 over several months. Conversely, in April 2025, a downtrend from $100,000 was halted near $74,400, followed by a rebound to $126,000. More recently, in early February, BTC fell to $60,000 after breaking below this range. CoinDesk suggests that if Bitcoin breaks through this zone, it would signal sufficient upward momentum in the market. However, a failure to do so would likely mean a continuation of the downtrend that began last October.

Bitcoin core developer Nick Szabo has expressed concern over Inscriptions, the practice of using the Bitcoin network to store images or files. He argued that while the Bitcoin whitepaper mentions the term "message," it is a simple programming term. According to Szabo, using this as a basis to treat Bitcoin as a general messaging tool or data archive misinterprets the creator's intent, as Bitcoin is a financial protocol. He further explained that since the blockchain is immutable, if someone were to record illegal data, it would be permanently stored on the hard drives of all node operators worldwide. Szabo warned this could create a "regulatory trap," providing governments with a pretext to outlaw the entire Bitcoin network. Bitcoin Inscriptions are a technology that engraves individual data onto a satoshi, the smallest unit of Bitcoin, expanding the network from a simple currency transfer system into a platform capable of issuing NFTs and tokens.

Google's security threat researchers have discovered a new type of malware capable of hacking iPhones to steal cryptocurrency wallet seed phrases, urging users to be cautious. According to Cointelegraph, Google's Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG) explained that the malware, named "Coruna" by developers, can be exploited to hack iPhones running iOS versions 13.0 to 17.2.1. The team noted that it is believed to have spread last December through numerous fake Chinese financial websites, including sites impersonating cryptocurrency exchanges. They detailed that if a user accesses a phishing site on an iOS device, the attack tool analyzes text for keywords like "seed phrase" and "bank account" to collect financial information.

Altcoins are expected to gain momentum and rally as soon as Bitcoin's sharp price increase slows down, according to prominent crypto trader and analyst Michaël van de Poppe. He commented that the overall movement in the crypto market, led by Bitcoin, has been excellent this week, adding that the market had been excessively undervalued. Van de Poppe also suggested that the impact of the U.S. airstrike in Iran may have been an over-hyped catalyst. He concluded that Bitcoin's surge indicates healthy capital rotation and that altcoins will gain greater momentum the moment Bitcoin's price begins to consolidate.

Users of Bithumb's crypto lending service are facing forced liquidations averaging 26 billion won ($19.5 million) per month, the Dong-A Ilbo reported on March 5. The report cites data Bithumb provided to Lee In-young, a Democratic Party lawmaker on the National Assembly's National Policy Committee. According to the figures, a total of 233.8 billion won ($175.8 million) across 33,102 cases was liquidated between the service's launch on June 16, 2025, and Feb. 8, 2026. This amounts to a monthly average of 26 billion won from 3,678 cases. During the same period, rival South Korean exchange Upbit recorded a monthly average of 300 million won ($226,000) in liquidations from 21 cases. Crypto lending services allow users to borrow digital assets from an exchange by providing their own crypto holdings as collateral. If the value of the collateral drops below a certain threshold, the exchange automatically sells the assets to recover its principal and interest in a process known as forced liquidation.
