Meta's rumored plans to re-enter the stablecoin market in 2026 have reignited discussions about Facebook's initial launch of Libra in June 2018. According to BlockBeats, Libra faced numerous regulatory challenges, leading to its rebranding as Diem and eventual sale, severing ties with Meta. Silvergate Bank acquired Diem from Meta, a move that was influenced by its deep partnership with FTX. Silvergate, once a prominent player in the crypto industry, was known for its collaboration with FTX, which relied heavily on Silvergate for USD transactions. In 2022, Silvergate issued $132 million in new shares and paid an additional $50 million in cash to acquire Diem. Despite the regulatory hurdles that led to Diem's sale, Silvergate's CEO Alan Lane remained committed to the narrative of banks issuing stablecoins, investing $200 million in the acquisition. FTX's founder, SBF, reportedly played a significant role in advising Silvergate, highlighting the close relationship between the two entities. SBF praised Silvergate as a cornerstone of the industry, essential for FTX's USD operations. Even after FTX's collapse, Silvergate faced collective lawsuits accusing it of having an unusually close relationship with FTX. Silvergate's acquisition of Diem was seen as a strategic move to integrate a comprehensive payment system, asset tokenization, and stablecoin into its business model. However, the collapse of FTX led to unprecedented withdrawal demands on Silvergate, forcing it to liquidate assets at a loss. The Diem assets, purchased for $182 million, were eventually written off as worthless. By March 2023, Silvergate announced its voluntary liquidation, marking the end of its operations. The bank, with over 30 years of history, paid millions in fines to the Federal Reserve and SEC, surrendering its banking licenses. Diem's code remains neglected in the liquidation pool, as Silvergate's name was removed from regulatory lists by 2024.

The hash ribbon indicator is approaching a signal that suggests the end of a three-month miner capitulation, one of the longest in history. According to PANews, this signal will be triggered when the 30-day moving average of hash rate rises above the 60-day moving average, indicating miners are coming back online and network stress is easing. Since the indicator first reversed last November, Bitcoin's price has fallen from approximately $90,000 to a low of $60,000 in early February, before recovering to around $65,000. The hash ribbon indicator compares the 30-day and 60-day moving averages of hash rate. Miner capitulation occurs when mining revenue falls below operational costs, leading inefficient miners to shut down and sell their Bitcoin reserves, causing a drop in hash rate and increased market selling pressure. Historically, such capitulations have coincided with local or major bottoms, including in January 2015, December 2018, and December 2022. Currently, Bitcoin is trading below the estimated average production cost of $66,000, a situation last seen in November 2022 when Bitcoin bottomed near $15,500.
