Stablecoin issuer Circle calls on the EU to accelerate the reform of the digital asset regulatory framework, believing that the current pace may slow down institutional adoption of the tokenized market.In feedback regarding the EU's "Market Integration Proposal," Circle stated that the proposal is an important step towards modernizing capital markets, but there are still shortcomings in scalability, regulatory mechanisms, and settlement rules. Circle supports the optimization of the distributed ledger technology (DLT) pilot framework, including expanding the range of assets that can be included and increasing the transaction size limit, but points out that existing restrictions still suppress liquidity and institutional participation. The company suggests introducing a "dynamic threshold" mechanism that allows regulatory parameters to automatically adjust according to market developments, rather than relying on periodic legislative updates. At the same time, Circle calls for a clear path for transitioning from the pilot phase to a formal regulatory system. Furthermore, Circle emphasizes the need to accelerate the pace of relevant reforms, warning that if regulatory progress is slow, it may lead to the migration of tokenized financial activities to faster-developing markets like the United States.

According to market news, Strategy last week first used perpetual preferred shares as the main tool to increase its Bitcoin holdings, marking a potential shift in its financing model. The company announced on Monday that it purchased 22,337 Bitcoins, making it the fifth largest acquisition in history. Among this, $1.18 billion was financed through STRC perpetual preferred shares, equivalent to about 16,800 Bitcoins (based on an average price of $70,000), far exceeding the $396 million raised through the common stock ATM program.The common stock ATM program had previously been the main tool for accumulating Bitcoin holdings, which currently total 761,068 BTC. Based on STRC's current 11.5% dividend yield, the $1.18 billion issuance results in an annual dividend obligation of about $135 million, bringing the company's total annual dividend burden to over $1 billion. The company has set aside about $2.25 billion in reserves to meet these obligations, providing a buffer amid rising financing costs.Due to the common stock falling over 70%, the company prefers to support its stock price without further diluting equity, thus it will be more selective in using common stock in the future, primarily using it when the net asset value multiple is significantly above 1 or when it needs to build dollar reserves, relying more on STRC financing to avoid issuing new common stock. Since the ex-dividend date on March 15, STRC has fallen below the par value of $100 for three consecutive days; if the one-month volume-weighted average price continues to be below par, the company may consider raising the dividend by another 25 basis points to support the price.

Bitcoin payment service provider Bitrefill disclosed on platform X that it suffered a cyberattack on March 1, 2026, resulting in a customer data breach. The attack originated from a compromised employee's laptop and allowed the attackers to access certain databases and cryptocurrency wallets.Investigations revealed that the attack method was highly similar to past attacks on cryptocurrency companies by the North Korean DPRK Lazarus/Bluenoroff hacker group. Approximately 18,500 purchase records involved limited customer information (email, cryptocurrency payment addresses, and IP metadata), with about 1,000 records having customer name information stored in an encrypted format, but potentially accessible. Bitrefill stated that customers do not need to take special actions but are advised to be vigilant for unusual information.Bitrefill further added that it has currently shut down related systems for isolation and is collaborating with security experts, on-chain analysts, and law enforcement. Operations have nearly returned to normal. The company emphasized that it is long-term profitable and financially robust enough to absorb this loss and will continue to strengthen cybersecurity measures, including internal access controls, monitoring, and emergency response mechanisms.

In response to former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson's claim that Bitcoin is a huge Ponzi scheme, Eric Trump, the son of Trump, commented that he totally disagrees with this view.

Trump stated on social media that yet another fake news media outlet deliberately fabricated a misleading headline regarding the situation of five refueling aircraft shot down at an airport in Saudi Arabia, but this information is completely useless.In fact, the base was hit days ago, but those planes were not "shot down" or "destroyed." Four of them were barely damaged and have already returned to flight capability. One was damaged more severely, but it will soon be back in operation. Not a single one was destroyed or close to being destroyed, as the fake news media claimed in their headlines. The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (especially these two media outlets) and other such inferior "newspapers" and media actually hope we lose this war. Their terrible reporting is completely contrary to the actual facts! They are truly pathological and insane people who do not understand the damage they are causing to America.Fortunately, as demonstrated by our great and decisive electoral victory in 2024, the people of our nation have a far better understanding of what is happening than those fake news media.

CoW DAO responded to the incident where "a certain whale lost approximately 50.39 million dollars due to excessive slippage when exchanging aEthAAVE," stating that "no DEX, DEX aggregator, public liquidity pool, or private liquidity pool (or their combination) can execute this transaction at a price close to a reasonable level. However, preventing users from trading would deprive them of their choices and could lead to extremely poor outcomes in certain situations (such as market crashes).Such transactions indicate that the DeFi user experience has not yet reached the level necessary to protect all users. The team is currently exploring how to balance strong security measures with maintaining user autonomy. We will also refund any fees paid to CoW DAO due to this transaction."According to previous news from ChainCatcher, a user lost approximately 50 million dollars in a single transaction due to slippage, and the founder of Aave stated that the interface had issued multiple warnings.

Aave founder Stani Kulechov posted an article calling for reforms in the DAO governance model. He pointed out that the current operation of DAOs is extremely difficult, with the decision-making process slowed down by forum discussions, temperature checks, and multiple rounds of voting. At the same time, DAOs can easily become politicized, with participants forming political alliances, ultimately leading to "politicians" winning instead of builders.Kulechov advocates that governance should focus on areas that truly require collective participation, such as significant protocol changes and treasury strategies, while the rest should belong to the execution level, requiring leaders to drive it forward. He stated that Aave needs to remain agile and streamline governance processes to capture opportunities in the global lending market. Recently, the Aave community experienced governance turmoil, with core contributors BGD Labs and ACI withdrawing from the protocol due to conflicts with Aave Labs, and both sides having disagreements over the "Aave Will Win" proposal put forth by Aave Labs.

According to Reuters, sources say that Elon Musk's SpaceX is leaning towards going public on Nasdaq. SpaceX hopes to be included in the Nasdaq 100 index as soon as possible, which is seen as one of the necessary conditions for its listing on the exchange.Earlier reports indicated that SpaceX is planning an IPO, potentially as early as June. Insiders say that the New York Stock Exchange is also vying for this listing project, and currently, neither exchange has been informed of the final decision. Nasdaq proposed a new rule last month that could expedite the inclusion of newly listed large companies into the Nasdaq 100 index.Under the "fast track" rule, if a newly listed company's market capitalization ranks among the top 40 of the existing index constituents, it can qualify for accelerated inclusion within less than a month after going public. The proposed changes have not yet been finalized and may take several months to take effect. Insiders indicate that SpaceX's IPO is seeking a valuation of about $1.75 trillion, which, based on the latest stock prices, would make it the sixth-largest company by market capitalization in the United States.
