Bitcoin Surges Past $72,000 Outperforming US Stocks, Futures Open Interest Rises to $107.6 Billion

2026.03.13 19:10:35

On March 13, Bitcoin climbed roughly 2% during Friday’s European trading session, breaking above the $72,000 mark, per a Coindesk report. It outperformed risk assets despite a stronger U.S. dollar and weaker U.S. stock futures—with Nasdaq 100 and S&P 500 futures dipping at one point, while the U.S. Dollar Index rose above 100. Derivatives data shows total cryptocurrency futures open interest (OI) jumped ~5% over the past 24 hours to $107.6 billion. Bitcoin OI hit 687,200 BTC, its highest level since late February; Ethereum OI rose to 13.72 million ETH, signaling ongoing fund inflows into long positions. If Bitcoin breaks $74,000 with significant volume, the market could test $80,000 next; if it fails to breach that level, it may stay range-bound in the zone it’s traded in since early February. Among altcoins, Trump-themed meme coin TRUMP surged over 30% in 24 hours after announcing a dinner with former President Trump for its top 297 holders. AI-focused tokens Bittensor and FET each gained around 14%.

F2Pool Co-Founder Wang Chun: BTC Protocol Upgrade Should Not Involve "Political Compromise"

On April 4, F2Pool co-founder Wang Chun said in an X post that Bitcoin protocol upgrades should not adopt a "riders bill" approach—similar to how U.S. politicians push through "must-pass but unpopular provisions." This is also a key reason he opposes BIP-110 and BIP-54. Responding to whether fixes using BIP-54 have issues, Wang further noted the "Timewarp" problem has existed for years and offers no significant benefit to miners, since they can’t predict who will mine the next block. Its only practical use is disrupting some altcoins, which provides almost no real value to Bitcoin miners—so there’s no urgent need to modify it. Additionally, libsecp256k1 and hardware upgrades have drastically improved block validation efficiency, making protocol-level changes unnecessary. "Fake confirmed transactions" fundamentally depend on breaking a double SHA256 collision; if that were possible, it would mean Bitcoin Core’s security has been compromised. Wang added these issues aren’t enough to d
