Hardware wallet maker Tangem said it generated $61.3 million in 2025 revenue, up 102% year over year, as it shifted its focus to what it calls 'active self-custody.' The company said growth increasingly came from repeat in-app activity rather than one-time device sales, with monthly active users of its in-app services rising 50%.

Bitcoin hovered in the mid-$70,000s, holding above $74,000 as traders prepared for a dense run of central-bank rate decisions. The move followed a rebound from a higher low near $66,000 toward $76,000, alongside signs of improving spot demand and cautious derivatives positioning. Spot bitcoin ETFs logged multiple straight inflow days, including $202 million on March 16 led by BlackRock's IBIT.

Matt Hougan, chief investment officer at Bitwise, has compared gold's 57% surge in 2025 to bitcoin's current consolidation phase. He suggests bitcoin may follow a similar breakout pattern once its remaining seller base is depleted, mirroring gold's trajectory after sustained central bank purchases exhausted price-sensitive sellers. Since January 2024, institutional channels and corporations have acquired roughly 1.39 million BTC through spot ETFs and direct purchases, creating a supply-demand imbalance that Hougan believes could drive a breakout.
