Early discussions inside President Donald Trump’s “Board of Peace” are 
exploring whether a U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoin could help reboot Gaza’s 
shattered economy through digital payments. The Financial Times (FT) first 
reported on the news that Trump’s U.S.-led Board of Peace — the body 
overseeing Gaza’s postwar reconstruction — is weighing the creation of a 
dollar-backed […]

Report: Trump’s Board of Peace Explores Stablecoin Idea to Address Gaza Cash Shortage

Bitcoin’s recent wobble has traders on edge, but the picture is not all one- 
way. Reports note heavy losses for late buyers, and on-chain figures show real 
money changing hands as positions are forced closed. Markets moved fast; the 
mood did too. Related Reading: XRP Flashes Rare On-Chain Signal That Once 
Preceded 114% Gains Fear And Greed Plunges To Single Digits According to 
CoinGlass, more than 144,839 traders were liquidated in the last 24 hours, 
with total liquidations of over $508 million and about 92% tied to long bets. 
Reports from Alternative.me put the Crypto Fear and Greed Index at 5 out of 
100 — a reading that has turned up only three times since 2018. That level 
screams panic. Yet panic often clears out the most fragile holders and leaves 
room for steadier hands to step in. Realized Losses And Capitulation Signals 
Based on reports from Glassnode, recent investors are still booking losses at 
a high rate — the seven-day moving average for net realized losses was close 
to $500 million per day. That kind of selling pressure looks brutal on a 
chart. At the same time, selling at scale can mark an end to a sharp phase of 
decline, because it reduces the number of people left to sell when prices fall 
further. Bitcoin Price Action In the middle of all this, price moves matter. 
Bitcoin rose to roughly $68,600 on Saturday, but it slid back and touched the 
mid-$64,000s after a wave of exits. Traders are watching a range that formed 
after the early-February drop to about $60,000. The coin remains roughly 48% 
below an October high of $126,000 and about 5.5% under the 2021 peak near 
$69,000. News tied to US-Iran tension and general risk-off trading pushed some 
traders toward safer assets, which added fuel to the pullback. Sharpe Ratio 
Hits Unusual Low Analyst Michaël van de Poppe shared a chart showing Bitcoin’s 
Sharpe Ratio at -38.4. That metric measures returns relative to risk; a number 
this low is rare. This is a phenomenal chart. It shows the Sharpe Ratio for 
#Bitcoin in the short term. The key takeaway: the Sharpe Ratio has dropped to 
-38.38, which historically has marked &#8220;Low Risk&#8221; accumulation zones. The red 
circles highlight every time the Sharpe Ratio dipped to similar…

2026 Historically, extreme negative readings have sometimes lined up with 
moments when buying risk felt lower, because potential downside had been 
squeezed out by big selloffs. That does not guarantee a rebound, but it 
changes how investors view the trade-off between reward and risk. Related

Out Where This Could Lead Some technical watchers warn that more tests of 
support could happen if uncertainty continues. Others point to the combination 
of heavy liquidations, deep fear readings, and large realized losses as 
signals that a base might be forming. Pasts on-chain figures show that panic 
and steep losses often precede quieter periods where buyers return slowly.
