REX Shares has launched the REX Growth & Income Universe ETF (GIF), a single fund that aggregates nine existing ETFs with exposure spanning technology, retail, healthcare, and crypto-related stocks. The strategy targets 1.25x exposure in each component ETF and uses covered calls on about half of holdings to generate weekly income, aiming to balance yield and upside in a cooling, post-halving crypto environment.

On Feb. 26 (ET), spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $254 million in net inflows, signaling sustained institutional interest even as BTC trades within a corrective structure.

MARA Holdings reported a fourth quarter 2025 net loss of $1.71 billion, or $4.52 per diluted share, after a sharp fair‑value markdown on its Bitcoin holdings.

On 27 February 2026, Citigroup detailed plans to introduce a comprehensive digital asset platform that will place Bitcoin directly within its core banking and custody systems.

The move aims to let institutional clients manage Bitcoin alongside traditional assets under the same risk, compliance, and reporting framework.

Crypto analyst Willy Woo says recent investor selling in Bitcoin appears largely exhausted, allowing BTC to trade sideways and possibly retest the mid-$70,000 area before facing resistance. He expects the bearish phase to end around the fourth quarter, with other analysts warning of months of range-bound price action between $60,000 and $70,000 after a steep drawdown.

Bitcoin has climbed above $68,000 and is currently consolidating over the $66,250 support while trading above $67,200 and the 100‑hour simple moving average. Key resistance sits near $68,000 and $68,250, with potential targets at $69,500 and $70,000, while a drop below $67,000–$66,250 could open the way toward $65,500 and $63,500. Technical indicators show the hourly MACD losing bullish momentum and the RSI holding above 50.

Crypto analytics firm Santiment reported on Thursday that the number of wallets holding at least 100 Bitcoin has climbed to 19,993 and could reach 20,000 by Friday. The firm views the growth in large holders as a sign of healthier distribution, even as Bitcoin trades around $67,260, roughly 47% below its October all-time high of $126,100. Santiment added that long-term holders appear to be both accumulating and selling, helping keep prices subdued despite rising confidence in a potential recovery.

In February 2024, Bitcoin spot trading volumes across major exchanges have dropped to their lowest levels of the year as traders cut risk and wait for clearer macro or technical signals.

At the same time, CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju notes that the Coinbase Premium Index has turned positive again, indicating reduced US-led selling pressure even as Bitcoin trades around $68,153.
