Trump declares end to āwar on crypto,ā vows to propel America to Bitcoin supremacy
President Donald Trump reaffirmed his commitment to supporting cryptocurrency and making America the āBitcoin superpowerā at the first White House crypto summit on March 7. Trump reaffirmed his pledge to reverse restrictive policies and position the US as a global leader in digital assets. He stated that his executive order establishing a Bitcoin reserve and a digital assets stockpile fulfills the promises he made last year. He also lamented the fact that the government had sold considerable amounts of the Bitcoin it once held and said his administration would ensure the federal government can never sell BTC again.
Sam Bankman-Fried is sent to solitary confinement for unauthorized jailhouse interview with Tucker Carlson
Sam Bankman-Fried's revealing interview, where he spoke about being imprisoned with Diddy and Luigi Mangione, has earned the FTX founder a stay in solitary confinement. The convicted cryptocurrency king is serving a 25-year sentence for fraud at New York's Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn alongside his famous fellow inmates. His interview was apparently 'not approved' by the Bureau of Prisons, the New York Times reported. While they would not confirm that Bankman-Fried had been punished with solitary confinement, a person close to the situation said that he had been locked up on his own after the interview went live.
Dubaiās State-Owned Bank Launches Crypto Services Through Digital Subsidiary Called Liv
Emirates NBD, Dubaiās state-owned bank, has started offering crypto trading services through its digital bank subsidiary, Liv Bank.

On 6 March 2025, Liv Bank, Aquanow, and Zodia Custody made a joint announcement in a Bloomberg article about their collaboration. Aquanow is a crypto asset service provider registered with Dubaiās Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA), while Zodia Custody brings in tailored asset custody solutions.
