Bitcoin briefly advanced to a one-month peak near $72,000 after earlier falling below $64,000 during the escalating conflict involving the USA, Israel, and Iran. Traders now debate whether a sustained move above $70,000–$71,500 could extend the rally toward $74,000–$80,000 or if failure to hold that area might send BTC back to the $65,000–$66,000 support.

Binance will on March 5 open trading for several U stablecoin pairs involving AVAX, LINK, LTC, PAXG, and ZEC, with trading bots enabled for these markets and a zero-fee promotion to boost adoption.

NEAR Protocol rose about 12% in the last 24 hours, lifting its price to around $1.35 and market capitalization above $1.7 billion, placing it 44th among cryptocurrencies. The rally followed the launch of the Confidential Intents upgrade, which enables private DeFi transactions, and drew praise from several analysts who highlighted NEAR's AI and privacy-focused capabilities. Some traders see a bullish chart pattern forming, while others point to an overbought RSI above 70 that could signal a near-term pullback.

Rising military confrontation involving the USA, Israel, Iran and regional powers has sparked questions about which crypto assets could be most vulnerable in a World War III scenario. Four AI chatbots indicated that thin‑liquidity small‑cap altcoins and meme coins might crash by as much as 90%, while some argued that major stablecoins tied to the US dollar could also face severe stress.

Cardano peaked near $3.10 in late 2021 but trades around $0.29, roughly 90% lower.

On February 26, Polkadot's DOT jumped roughly 22%, touching a one‑month high near $1.74 as its market cap moved above $2.6 billion. Lark Davis linked the move to a March 14 halving that cuts annual issuance by 50% and growing spot ETF interest, while the RSI around 73 signals caution.

Ethereum climbed from $1,800 to above $2,000 within 24 hours, even as it remains roughly 30% lower over the past month and far below its near-$5,000 all‑time high. Some analysts see a potential rebound from a five‑year demand zone and rising whale accumulation, while others warn that a drop below support around $1,800 could open the door to deeper losses. With market cap near $237 billion and the RSI now above 70, traders are debating whether the latest move marks the start of a recovery or just another temporary bounce.
