Binance's regulatory troubles may exacerbate liquidity problems in crypto markets, which have been plaguing the industry since the collapse of FTX in November. The US Commodity Futures Trading Commission has sued Binance for running an alleged illegal exchange and a "sham" compliance program. Binance has long been the leading digital assets exchange, accounting for 81% of the total bitcoin traded on centralized exchanges in February. Observers worry that the lawsuit would bring a deeper decline in market liquidity, exacerbating volatility and causing large players to stay on the sidelines. Liquidity is measured by a metric called the 2% market depth, which has been slipping since FTX's sister firm Alameda Research closed shop five months ago. Some observers expect bitcoin to revisit former resistance-turned-support near $25,000 in the wake of regulatory uncertainty.

As African nations face banking challenges, Bitcoin offers a disruptive and transformative alternative to traditional financial systems, potentially unlocking economic power for those previously left out.

The ZeroSync Association, a non-profit organisation based in Zug, Switzerland, has launched a new software development kit (SDK) that integrates zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) into the Bitcoin network. The system offers users the ability to validate Bitcoin network transactions without downloading large amounts of blockchain history or relying on third parties. The ZeroSync product offers faster access to the Bitcoin blockchain and provides a method for compressing transaction histories. The system features the Cairo programming language created by Israeli start-up StarkWare, and uses ZKPs that do not require a trusted setup, while claiming to be more scalable than zk-SNARKs in use by other cryptocurrencies such as Zcash. ZeroSync initial supporters include Lightning Labs among others, and intends to offer a better user experience at a more affordable price than standard software for the Bitcoin protocol.

President Nayib Bukele is promoting El Salvador as the “new land of the free,” as part of an invitation for foreigners to move to the Latam country.

Following the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission's (CFTC) lawsuit against Binance and CEO Changpeng Zhao, investors have reportedly pulled more than 3,400 Bitcoin from the exchange within 24 hours. This comes as investors have started spreading out their assets to minimize the impact of a potential shutdown. Binance's total Bitcoin balance has decreased by over 3,900 BTC over the past week, with 3,400 BTC withdrawn in the past 24 hours. Other exchanges, including Coinbase, Bitfinex, and Gemini, have seen an increase in BTC reserves during the same period. It's worth noting that Bitcoin balances on major exchanges have been decreasing since March 20, with nearly 27,000 BTC taken off exchanges in the past week.

Tim Draper, a venture capitalist and bitcoin millionaire, has included bitcoin as part of a series of cash management recommendations offered to startup founders.
