Historically, the Ethereum price has been very bullish for the first quarter of the year, with a few exceptions, and the month of March has been no different from the first two months of the year. Therefore, as the market ushers in another month of March, this report takes a look at the performance of Ethereum this month, and if this historical performance can point out where the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap could be headed.

Ethereum Is Ushering In A Bullish Month, But There’s A ‘But’

According to historical data from the CryptoRank website, the month of March has been one of the most bullish in history. Since its inception in 2015, only the months of January and May have surpassed the month of March in terms of average returns.

Looking at the number of years that the month of March has ended in the green, only the months of January and February can match it. Simply put, March has historically been one of the best months for investors who hold ETH. In that case, the probability of this month ending in green is also high.

As the website shows, over the last 10 years, there have been only three years where the month of March has ended in the red for Ethereum. Taking the monthly returns into account, it comes out to an average 23.7% for Ethereum in March.

However, there is a hitch due to the fact that the first three months of the year have often moved in tandem. There have only been a few years of deviation, and given the trend that the year 2026 has begun with, the Ethereum price might be in trouble.

Despite the high average returns, the months of January and February 2026 have both ended in the red. The former saw a 17.7% decline, while the latter has seen a 19.6% crash. If this trend plays out as it has in history, then the likelihood of March ending in the red has just become higher.

While it is too early to tell where the price might end, there has already been a lot of uncertainty. This is because ETH has continued to skirt around the $2,000 level, with no indications that an upward move is imminent. If it follows the months of January and February, then the Ethereum price could be looking at a double-digit crash.

The US Commodity Futures Trading Commission announced Monday that former federal prosecutor David Miller will serve as the agency’s new Director of Enforcement, a key role for crypto regulation. 

Key CFTC Appointment

According to Reuters, Miller previously worked in the securities and commodities fraud task force at the US Attorney’s Office in Manhattan, where he was known for pursuing complex, high-profile financial cases. 

The appointment comes as newly installed CFTC Chairman Michael Selig reshapes the agency’s leadership. Selig joined the commission in late December and has since begun rebuilding staff ranks. 

The regulator has been significantly thinned during President Donald Trump’s administration, with numerous career officials departing over the past year amid a broader reduction in the federal workforce. Selig currently stands as the sole political appointee on what is traditionally a bipartisan five-member commission.

In a statement, Miller said he is eager to support the chairman’s agenda: 

Under Chairman Selig’s leadership, I look forward to working closely with the talented Commission staff to advance the chairman’s mission of fostering innovation and protecting the integrity of U.S. markets, including from fraud, abuse, and manipulation.

End Of Regulation By Enforcement In Crypto

Before returning to public service, Miller worked in private practice, where he represented clients in several digital asset cases brought by US authorities. 

His recent work included defending a manager at a nonfungible token (NFT) platform who faced wire fraud and money laundering charges, as well as a former Coinbase product manager accused of insider trading. 

Chairman Selig underscored what he described as a shift in philosophy at the enforcement division. In a social media post announcing the appointment, he said: 

I’m delighted to announce David Miller as Director of Enforcement. The era of regulation by enforcement and witch hunts targeting crypto and other transformative industries is over. David will focus the division on policing fraud, manipulation and abuse — not policymaking.

The leadership change has been widely interpreted within the industry as aligning with President Trump’s stated ambition to position the United States as “the crypto capital of the world.” 

In mid-February, the CFTC unveiled another initiative aimed at strengthening ties with the digital asset sector: a newly formed Innovation Advisory Committee composed of 35 members drawn from major exchanges, blockchain companies, and other industry leaders.

The committee is intended to provide the regulator with current, technical insight as it evaluates potential rules covering derivatives, market structure, token classification and related issues. 

Chairman Selig said the advisory group would help ensure that the commission’s decisions reflect real-world market dynamics. He added that the collaboration is designed to help establish clearer regulatory guidelines, which he referred to as part of a broader “Golden Age of American Financial Markets.
