Federal officials are shifting away from a controversial banking oversight tool after sustained criticism from lawmakers and the crypto industry. White House Crypto Czar David Sacks hailed a regulatory shift on March 25, highlighting that the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) will no longer use “reputational risk” as a criterion in bank supervision. The move aligns with guidance from the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) and follows mounting pressure from policymakers and crypto advocates. Sacks took to social media platform X to express his support: Big win for crypto: FDIC is following OCC’s lead in removing ‘reputational risk’ as a factor in bank supervision. He explained that the concept had been manipulated to target digital asset firms: “‘Reputational risk’ may sound good in theory, but it was defined as ‘the potential that negative publicity regarding an institution’s business practices, whether true or not, will cause a decline in the customer base, costly litigation, or revenue reductions.'” He clarified: “In practice, this vague and subjective criteria was used to justify the debanking of lawful crypto businesses through Operation Chokepoint 2.0. Banking criteria should be objective and quantitative, not based on the potential for untrue stories.” His remarks referenced Operation Chokepoint 2.0, a term used by crypto proponents to describe what they claim was a covert effort by regulators to limit banking access for cryptocurrency companies. U.S. Senator Tim Scott introduced the Financial Integrity and Regulation Management (FIRM) Act earlier this month to prohibit the use of “reputational risk” in federal banking oversight. The bill aims to prevent regulators from using subjective criteria to influence banks’ decisions on serving legally operating businesses. Republican members of the Senate Banking Committee announced on March 24 that the FDIC will eliminate reputational risk from bank supervision, stating on X: “The FDIC is going to eliminate the use of reputational risk as a component of bank supervision.” The committee said the move follows the advancement of the FIRM Act, which seeks to codify the policy across all federal financial regulators. Sacks thanked Senator Scott for championing the legislation, writing on X: “Thank you … for your leadership on this via the FIRM Act.” On Friday, March 28, the FDIC announced that banks can now engage in legally permitted cryptocurrency activities without prior regulatory approval, provided they appropriately manage associated risks. This policy shift reverses the previous requirement for banks to obtain advance permission for any crypto-related activities. 免责声明：本文章仅代表作者个人观点，不代表本平台的立场和观点。本文章仅供信息分享，不构成对任何人的任何投资建议。用户与作者之间的任何争议，与本平台无关。如网页中刊载的文章或图片涉及侵权，请提供相关的权利证明和身份证明发送邮件到support@aicoin.com，本平台相关工作人员将会进行核查。

Haliey Welch, better known as the “Hawk Tuah girl,” has claimed the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has closed its investigation on her and the HAWK meme coin without pursuing any enforcement actions. However, the SEC themselves have not commented or confirmed this claim. The assertion follows the HAWK token’s meteoric rise to a reported $500 million market cap before crashing below $60 million, causing significant losses for many investors and attracting regulatory attention. Welch announced the alleged probe closure via comments made to TMZ. Welch told TMZ , “For the past few months, I’ve been cooperating with all the authorities and attorneys, and finally, that work is complete.” Welch’s assertion that she faces no legal consequences related to the HAWK token’s dramatic boom and bust has drawn controversy within the crypto community. Many have now questioned how Welch can walk away without legal consequences despite the financial losses faced by investors. Critics argue that the situation shows a gap in regulatory oversight, especially when it comes to high-risk projects like meme coins. Welch’s lawyer James Sallah added, “The SEC closed the investigation without making any findings against, or seeking any monetary sanctions from, Haliey. Because they did not bring any action against her, there are no restrictions on what she can do in regards to crypto or securities in the future.” Related: Black Friday for Longs? $253 Million Wiped Out in 24 Hours over Binance News Legal analyst James Murphy (known online as “MetaLawMan”), suggested that if the SEC probe was closed without action, it wouldn’t necessarily be surprising. Meme coins are generally not classified as securities, which means the SEC doesn’t have jurisdiction over them. He said that the agency is focusing on its core responsibilities, and if fraud was involved, it could be investigated by criminal prosecutors or state consumer protection agencies. For background, the SEC itself recently clarified that most meme coins don’t meet the criteria for investment contracts it regulates, based on established Supreme Court precedent.

While Welch and her lawyer claim the SEC matter is concluded favorably for her, the absence of official agency confirmation leaves the final status unclear. For now, Welch remains free of legal trouble, leaving the HAWK saga as yet another controversial chapter.

Pump.fun, a platform central to Solana’s meme coin boom last year, continues to see sharp declines in protocol fee revenue and overall trading volume. Current data reveals a stark difference from its peak activity earlier in 2025. As of March 28, Pump.fun’s protocol fee revenue stands at $1.2 million, according to data from DefiLlama. This is a significant drop from January, when the revenue was $7.07 million. Specifically, this marks an 83% decline from the all-time high in just three months. While this marks a slight improvement from a low near $671k reported just last week, the steep decline highlights a significant contraction in user activity. The platform now faces considerable loss in both revenue and market presence within the Solana meme coin ecosystem.

As of Friday, the daily volume stood at $97.21 million, compared to $390.3 million in January. This marks a more than 75% decrease from its peak. The decline in Pump.fun’s revenue and trading volume is part of a broader slowdown in the meme coin market, which had seen massive growth in 2024. A report by Binance revealed that meme coins were the top-performing crypto sub-sector in 2024, with average gains of over 212%. Solana became the go-to blockchain for meme coin trading, and Pump.fun played a key role. In 2024, Pump.fun facilitated the launch of over 5.7 million new meme coin projects and generated more than $400 million in revenue.

Many now view the sector, initially popular for perceived “fair launch” opportunities, as increasingly fraught with fraud and manipulation risks. Adding to the platform’s woes, Pump.fun itself was recently compromised. On February 26, the platform’s official Pump.fun X account was hacked and used to promote fraudulent tokens, including a fake governance token named PUMP. Related: Pump.fun Hit With Class Action Lawsuit, Accused of Securities Violations Separately, Pump.fun became the target of investor lawsuits starting in January. One suit alleges the platform’s easy token launch process facilitated the creation and promotion of unregistered securities, claiming influencers were used misleadingly, resulting in investor losses. That suit seeks rescission of token purchases, damages, and attorney’s fees. This followed a similar earlier lawsuit which, in addition to alleged securities law violations, also accused Pump.fun of allowing the promotion of inappropriate content via its platform.

Donald Trump made history as the first U.S. president to debut an official meme coin, TRUMP, on Jan. 17, 2025—three days prior to his swearing-in ceremony. Notably, Melania Trump followed with her own digital asset, MELANIA, unveiled on Jan. 19, 2025, a mere 24 hours ahead of the presidential inauguration. As of publication, the circulating supply of TRUMP tokens stands at 199,999,976, representing a fraction of the total fixed supply, which is capped at 1,000,000,000 coins. The leading external holder of TRUMP tokens, excluding the project, is Binance, which notably commands 25,151,426 TRUMP—equivalent to 12.58% of the circulating supply—on its exchange platform. OFFICIAL TRUMP/USD via Coinbase on March 29, 2025. Following Binance, a pseudonymous entity holds 16,034,161 TRUMP—8.02% of the circulating supply—within a single Solana account. The token’s creator or issuing entity retains 15,019,350 TRUMP, accounting for 7.51% of the 199,999,976 tokens in circulation. A separate Binance wallet holds roughly 15,000,000 TRUMP, comprising 7.5% of the total circulating within the cryptosphere. MELANIA/USD via Bitstamp on March 29, 2025. Since its debut, TRUMP holders have faced challenges, as the asset has plummeted 85.9% from its peak value of $73.43. Presently, TRUMP fluctuates between $9.85 and $11.25 per token relative to its seven-day simple moving average (SMA). The presidentially themed meme coin asset now boasts a market capitalization just exceeding $2 billion. MELANIA has similarly retreated, losing 95.1% of its value from its all-time peak of $13.05. Presently, the token exchanges hands at $0.61 per coin, with 150,000,000 coins in circulation. This calculates to a market capitalization just shy of $100 million—$95,250,797, to be precise. Meteora’s MELANIA-USDC liquidity pool commands the largest share of MELANIA tokens outside the project’s team allocation, holding 105,613,966 coins (70.41% of the current circulating supply). This steep decline likely stems from waning enthusiasm for meme coins amid broader market downturns. Notably, meme-centric assets have experienced disproportionately severe declines compared to other sectors during the recent crypto-market correction. 免责声明：本文章仅代表作者个人观点，不代表本平台的立场和观点。本文章仅供信息分享，不构成对任何人的任何投资建议。用户与作者之间的任何争议，与本平台无关。如网页中刊载的文章或图片涉及侵权，请提供相关的权利证明和身份证明发送邮件到support@aicoin.com，本平台相关工作人员将会进行核查。

On the 1-hour chart, bitcoin is in a clear downtrend, falling from a recent high of $87,481. Selling pressure has intensified, with volume increasing during downward moves, confirming the bearish bias. Support is established near $82,000, while resistance lies around $84,000. Traders may consider shorting on minor rebounds, using $84,000 as a key level for invalidation. Should bitcoin break above this resistance with strong volume, the trend could reverse. BTC/USD 1H chart via Bitstamp on March 29, 2025. The 4-hour chart further underscores the bearish sentiment, with a sharp decline from $88,772. The market is forming consistent lower highs and lower lows. Resistance is visible between $85,000 and $86,000, while support remains at $82,000. High-volume red candles suggests stronger selling pressure. Any recovery attempts would need to overcome resistance at $86,000 for a shift in momentum. BTC/USD 4H chart via Bitstamp on March 29, 2025. On the daily chart, bitcoin has shown a prolonged decline from its peak at $99,508. The key support level at $76,600 remains intact, while resistance ranges from $88,000 to $90,000. The bearish structure remains prominent, with volume spikes occurring mostly on red candles. Traders may look for buying opportunities only if bitcoin manages a decisive breakout above $90,000. Otherwise, further downside may be anticipated. BTC/USD 1D chart via Bitstamp on March 29, 2025. Oscillators present a predominantly neutral outlook, with the relative strength index (RSI) at 43, Stochastic at 49, commodity channel index (CCI) at -32, and the average directional index (ADX) at 23, all signaling indecision. The awesome oscillator also remains neutral. However, the momentum indicator at -3,954 suggests downward pressure, while the moving average convergence divergence (MACD) at -831 offers a buying signal, hinting at potential price stabilization. Moving averages (MAs) across various timeframes align with the bearish narrative. The exponential moving average (EMA) and simple moving average (SMA) for the 10, 20, 30, 50, 100, and 200-periods all signal selling. Notably, the EMA (10) at $85,196 and the SMA (10) at $85,446 reinforce immediate selling pressure. Long-term MAs like the SMA (200) at $85,809 indicate that sustained recovery remains unlikely without significant buying interest. Fibonacci retracement levels further illustrate key resistance points. On the daily chart, bitcoin remains below the 50% retracement level at $88,054, suggesting further downside risk. The 4-hour chart shows resistance at the 50% level of $85,728, while the 1-hour chart highlights $84,517 at the 61.8% level as a crucial inflection point. A failure to reclaim these levels would likely lead to further declines. Conversely, a breakout above these Fibonacci markers could trigger a short-term bullish reversal. If bitcoin manages to break above the key resistance levels of $85,000 and $86,000 on strong volume, a short-term bullish reversal could emerge. The buy signal from the MACD (moving average convergence divergence) offers a glimmer of potential upward momentum. A sustained move beyond the 50% Fibonacci retracement levels across multiple timeframes would further support a bullish case, with targets around $88,000 to $90,000. The prevailing bearish momentum across the 1-hour, 4-hour, and daily charts, combined with continuous lower highs and lower lows, indicates a strong possibility of further downside. With moving averages showing clear sell signals and oscillators lacking bullish conviction, bitcoin may face additional pressure. A breakdown below the $82,685 support level could accelerate losses, potentially driving the price toward the long-term support near $76,600. 免责声明：本文章仅代表作者个人观点，不代表本平台的立场和观点。本文章仅供信息分享，不构成对任何人的任何投资建议。用户与作者之间的任何争议，与本平台无关。如网页中刊载的文章或图片涉及侵权，请提供相关的权利证明和身份证明发送邮件到support@aicoin.com，本平台相关工作人员将会进行核查。
