This follows KB's announcement in January of a patent application covering a hybrid payment system that connects existing credit cards to digital wallets, allowing customers to use both stablecoins and credit limits on their cards simultaneously. The latest announcement from the credit card company states that it will collaborate with Avalanche to design a credit card payment model on a public blockchain. Furthermore, KB stated that it is working with digital asset infrastructure company OpenAsset to develop a comprehensive stablecoin system for top-ups, payments, and settlements. According to previous announcements from the company, the card will automatically prioritize using the stablecoin balance in the digital wallet linked to the credit card.

PANews posted on X (formerly Twitter). A member of South Korea's "Seven Stars Gang" has been sentenced to eight years in prison by the Busan District Court, as reported by DL News. In 2019, the individual was entrusted by a friend to convert approximately $332,000 worth of Bitcoin into cash for a 0.5% commission. However, he squandered the entire amount on illegal gambling websites without returning any funds, prompting his friend to report the incident to the authorities. During his time on the run, the gang member escalated his criminal activities by providing money laundering services to a fraud syndicate. This group defrauded victims of approximately $6.4 million over more than a year.

Bitcoin's future price trajectory remains a topic of debate among experts. According to BlockBeats, renowned trader and chart analyst Peter Brandt, who accurately predicted Bitcoin's 2018 crash, holds a pessimistic view on Bitcoin reaching new highs by 2026. Brandt suggests that a new peak might not occur until the second quarter of 2027, emphasizing that his predictions are speculative. On the prediction market platform Polymarket, the probability of Bitcoin reaching $120,000 by 2026 is estimated at only 15%. Regarding this year's low, Brandt noted that the $60,000 level on February 6 might not be the lowest for the year. He anticipates a potential retest of this level, or slightly lower, in September or October, marking the bear market cycle's low point and the start of a new bull market. Despite his cautious outlook, Brandt maintains his long-term belief in Bitcoin as a store of wealth, though he remains neutral or bearish on other cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin analyst Willy Woo commented on March 17 that, from a liquidity perspective, Bitcoin has completed about one-third of its bear market. SkyBridge Managing Partner Anthony Scaramucci also remarked last week that Bitcoin is currently in the bear phase of its four-year cycle, suggesting that long-standing whale investors might create a self-fulfilling prophecy. On the sentiment front, spot Bitcoin ETFs ended a four-week streak of net inflows, recording a net outflow of $296.18 million last week.
