🚀 Texas Lawmaker Reintroduces Bill For Bitcoin Strategic Reserve

According to Foresight News, Texas State Senator Charles Schwertner has reintroduced a bill aimed at establishing a strategic reserve for Bitcoin, with provisions to expand investments to other cryptocurrencies. The proposed legislation, SB 778, restricts the state government to purchasing and holding Bitcoin without using it for other operations. Meanwhile, SB 21 broadens the scope, allowing investments in cryptocurrencies that maintain a market value of at least $500 billion throughout the year. Currently, Bitcoin is the only cryptocurrency meeting this criterion. The previous version of the bill, introduced in January, focused primarily on Bitcoin.

🚀 India's Market Regulator Seeks Greater Authority Over Social Media

According to PANews, the Indian market regulator is seeking enhanced powers from the government to remove unauthorized financial advice from social media platforms like WhatsApp and Telegram and to access their call records for investigating market violations. This marks the second attempt by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) since 2022 to obtain such authority, which has yet to receive government approval. The request comes as SEBI intensifies its investigations into market misconduct and cracks down on unregulated financial advice circulating on social media. Despite previous meetings with regulatory bodies, social media companies have not complied with government requests to access their call data records, groups, and channels.

🚀 Short-Term Bitcoin Holders Accumulate Over 4 Million BTC

According to CoinDesk, short-term bitcoin (BTC) holders have significantly increased their holdings, adding 1.5 million BTC since September. This brings the total to over 4 million BTC, with an average monthly accumulation of approximately 300,000 BTC. During this period, bitcoin's price experienced a notable surge from $60,000 to $109,000 before retreating below $100,000. Glassnode defines short-term holders as those who have held bitcoin for less than 155 days.

Historically, bitcoin's price tends to reach its peak when short-term holders exhaust their buying momentum, leading to a slowdown in price appreciation. This pattern has been observed in previous bull market cycles, notably in 2013, 2017, and 2021. During these cycles, short-term holders held significantly more bitcoin at the peaks: 5 million BTC in 2013, 6.2 million BTC in 2017, and 4.6 million BTC in 2021. In comparison, the current holdings of 4 million BTC are relatively low, suggesting that new market entrants may continue to accumulate, indicating potential for further growth in the cycle.

Meanwhile, long-term holders, defined as investors who have held bitcoin for more than 155 days, have distributed 1.2 million BTC during the same period. This distribution reflects significant profit-taking following bitcoin's strong rally since November. The ongoing offloading by long-term holders has been a major factor contributing to bitcoin's stalled price action since mid-November.

🚀 Solana's Inbound Bridge Volume Surges Over $10 Billion

According to Cointelegraph, Solana's inbound bridge volume has reached an impressive milestone, surpassing $10.1 billion since 2021. This marks a significant 114% increase from its total volume of $4.7 billion as of February 2024. The data, presented by analyst h4wk on a Flipside dashboard, highlights the growing activity within Solana's crypto bridges.

USD Coin (USDC) emerges as the most-bridged asset within the Solana ecosystem, boasting an all-time inbound volume of $3.9 billion and an outbound volume of $4.7 billion. Ether (ETH) follows closely with approximately $2 billion in both inbound and outbound volumes. Solana's native asset, SOL, ranks third with $1.5 billion inbound and $1 billion outbound volume. The Wormhole bridge remains the most-utilized platform for bridging on Solana, with an all-time volume of $7.3 billion, although it has experienced a slight decline over time. This has allowed its competitor, deBridge, to gain ground, surpassing Wormhole by 12% in weekly volumes in February.

Data from DefiLlama indicates that Solana's bridges experienced relatively lower volumes during the first ten months of 2024. However, a surge occurred from November 2024 to January 2025, with volumes exceeding $6 billion. In November alone, Solana bridges recorded a monthly volume of $1.1 billion, followed by $2.5 billion in December and $3.2 billion in January. Despite these impressive figures, Solana's bridge volumes remain modest compared to the Ethereum network, which recorded a staggering $38 billion in bridge volumes during the same period. Ethereum's bridge volume remained robust throughout 2024, with its lowest monthly performance in April, reaching $5.1 billion.

The data underscores Solana's growing prominence in the blockchain space, although it still trails behind Ethereum in terms of bridge volume. As the blockchain ecosystem continues to evolve, Solana's increasing bridge activity reflects its expanding role in the broader cryptocurrency landscape.
