Crypto is in the midst of what Mintology CEO Zach Burks calls “crime season,” as hacks and illicit activity drive down investor confidence. So far in 2025, over $2.2 billion in crypto has been stolen, including a $1.5 billion heist by North Korea’s Lazarus Group . In a note to crypto.news, Burks warned that the rise in crime is damaging markets and posing a national security risk. “The increased perception of crime in crypto has caused the meme coin market to crash by 56% since December,” Burks said. “At the same time, Bitcoin has fallen from $106,000 to $83,000, and we could see it drop to $72,000 in the coming weeks.” He advises investors, especially those holding meme coins, to brace for continued volatility over the next six weeks. Burks argues that traditional regulatory bodies like the SEC and FCA are ill-equipped to handle crypto crime. The agencies “are inefficient in retrieving crypto funds and only seek to create more bureaucracy, taking crypto away from what it was created to achieve. ,” he wrote. Instead, he believes the industry needs a decentralized, community-driven approach. We need to build a network of community-led tacticians like Zach XBT , who can tackle illicit transactions executed by mass operations to bring trust back to crypto and prevent capital from being lost forever,” Burks said. Burks contends that the issue goes beyond safeguarding individual investors — it’s a matter of national security. Relying on politicians and bureaucracy won’t solve the problem. According to Burks, what is required are crypto pragmatists ready to advocate for a level playing field.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is holding its first crypto regulation roundtable, focusing on defining the security status of crypto assets. The event marks the beginning of a series of discussions by the SEC’s newly formed crypto task force, which could have significant implications for the broader cryptocurrency market. According to CNBC’s Tanaya Macheel, the SEC’s efforts aim to provide clearer guidelines on whether certain crypto assets should be classified as securities, an issue that has created tension between the SEC and the crypto industry. “The former administration’s SEC targeted many companies for their involvement with crypto, alleging most coins were unregistered securities but failing to give clear guidelines to follow to avoid being targeted,” Macheel said. Today’s roundtable could also have implications for Ethereum ( ETH ) exchange-traded funds. While the SEC recently stated that meme coins are not considered securities, the agency has yet to clarify its stance on staking services linked to crypto ETFs, a factor that could affect future growth in the market. “The appetite for ETH ETFs has been tepid compared to Bitcoin ETFs, and one of the big reasons is the inability to earn a staking yield on those funds,” Macheel said. “If the SEC can iron out some of the uncertainties about those services being potential unregistered securities, it could change the outlook for ETH ETFs.” Despite the regulatory uncertainty, Bitcoin ( BTC ) has remained stable in recent weeks. Macheel noted that Bitcoin is trading around its 200-day moving average near $84,000, which traders see as a key technical support level. “If it can hold the 200-day, that’s great,” she said. “Longer term, Ethereum to me is more peculiar. It’s just been left for dead. There are some big short positions with hedge funds, but Bitcoin has clearly outperformed.” Ethereum’s underperformance relative to Bitcoin has been a notable trend. While Bitcoin has held steady, Ethereum has struggled to gain momentum despite increasing institutional interest in ETH-based financial products. Macheel also pointed out that the broader crypto market has seen relatively subdued activity compared to other asset classes like gold . “Gold broke $3,000 this year while Bitcoin’s been sitting in the low $80,000 range,” she said. “Sometimes the most boring assets are the biggest winners.” Investors are watching closely to see if the SEC’s roundtable will provide clarity on staking and the broader regulatory framework for crypto assets. A more defined regulatory environment could pave the way for increased adoption and new financial products tied to crypto assets.

The altcoin market regained momentum in the third week of March. In the past week, the total value of the global crypto market increased by $101 billion, indicating a return of investor confidence. During this period, large investors, known as "whales," showed intense interest in certain altcoins. The ones that attracted the most attention were Uniswap (UNI), PancakeSwap (CAKE), and Ondo (ONDO). The 3 altcoins that crypto whales bought the most in the third week of March 2025 Uniswap (UNI) Decentralized finance (DeFi) projects' leading tokens, UNI, has caught the attention of major investors this week. According to IntoTheBlock data, UNI's net flow from large investors has seen a massive increase of 3900% in the last seven days. The net inflow of large investors refers to the trading balance of addresses that hold more than 0.1% of a coin's total supply. A positive inflow indicates that whales are accumulating significantly, and this usually creates upward pressure on the price. These large purchases in UNI could also attract the interest of individual investors, pushing the price even higher. PancakeSwap (CAKE) PancakeSwap, which is part of the BNB Chain ecosystem, has benefited significantly from the increasing meme coin volume in recent weeks. This increase has raised the trading volume of PancakeSwap, a decentralized exchange, while also boosting the demand for the CAKE token. According to Santiment data, whales who have been inactive for a long time and hold assets between 100 million and 1 billion CAKE have become active again. In just the last 24 hours, these large investors purchased 101 million CAKE, with a total value exceeding 250 million dollars. If this accumulation trend continues, CAKE could provide profits by resisting the widespread market downturn. Ondo (ONDO) ONDO, which is a cryptocurrency based on real-world assets (RWA), has also become another altcoin that attracts the interest of large investors. According to Santiment's data, whales with holdings between 10,000 and 100,000 ONDO purchased a total of 1.08 million ONDO in the last seven days. $CAKE $ONDO $UNI
