A fraud review commissioned by the UK government suggests that the Judicial College should provide training for all judges and magistrates in England and Wales to address the increasing cases involving AI fraud and the use of cryptocurrency for money laundering. The report states that the overall Fraud Act 2006 can be used to handle AI fraud, but the issue lies in the courts' lack of preparedness to hear related cases.The report recommends evaluating whether the existing "long and complex trials" course should be updated or replaced with specialized modules on fraud and related crimes, and considers mandatory training for judges who may hear complex fraud cases. The report claims that fraud could soon account for half of all crime in England and Wales, with an estimated 4.1 million cases occurring within a year by June 2025, affecting 1 in every 14 adults and 1 in every 4 businesses. The Financial Ombudsman Service estimates that currently over half of investment scams involve crypto assets.The report also mentions the case of Qian Zhimin, who operated a Ponzi scheme in China, defrauding over 128,000 victims of approximately £5 billion and laundering the proceeds into Bitcoin. This case resulted in the largest confirmed Bitcoin seizure in UK history, exceeding 61,000 BTC, and Qian Zhimin was sentenced to 11 years and 8 months in prison at Southwark Crown Court in November.

According to Jinshi reports, JPMorgan strategists advise investors to close positions on the flattening of the 10-year to 30-year U.S. Treasury yield curve ahead of the U.S. CPI data release and Federal Reserve Chairman Waller's first testimony before Congress to address the upcoming event risks.The strategists stated that due to the escalation of geopolitical tensions and hawkish remarks from Federal Reserve officials, short-end U.S. Treasury yields rose by 6 basis points, and the yield curve flattened by 3 basis points. Waller expressed concerns that high inflation may become entrenched in market inflation expectations, stating that if CPI data continues to show strong core inflation pressures, the Federal Reserve will need to consider tightening monetary policy in the near term.

According to Arkham monitoring, SpaceX marked an address for the first time in 6 months with an on-chain Bitcoin transfer. Data shows that a wallet controlled by SpaceX sent a small BTC test transaction to a wallet controlled by another company.Arkham stated that such small test transfers sometimes occur before companies make larger-scale treasury asset movements, but it does not necessarily indicate that a large transfer will follow. Currently, there are no signs that SpaceX has begun to adjust its Bitcoin reserves.

Strive CEO Matt Cole stated that, given the short-selling interest in SATA tokens has increased by about 1 million shares in the past 30 days, and the borrowing cost has currently reached about a 70% annualized rate, the company is seeking market feedback to explore whether it should suspend the strategy of issuing new SATA tokens at a fixed price of $100, instead allowing the market to determine its liquidation price.Cole pointed out that although $100 remains the target price, some investors believe that Strive will continue to issue additional tokens at that price point, thereby creating an invisible ceiling. Retaining issuance flexibility will increase the risks and costs of short-selling SATA, and while it may exacerbate market volatility in the short term, it aims to reduce long-term volatility and curb speculative short-selling.

Grayscale Research's research director Zach Pandl stated that rather than raising the STRC preferred stock dividend yield by 50 basis points, it would be better to sell over $3 billion in Bitcoin to meet cash payment obligations and restore market confidence. As an institutional researcher, Zach Pandl publicly suggested that Strategy's sale of over $3 billion in BTC has certain indicative significance.If Strategy ultimately implements a large-scale sale, it will bring considerable selling pressure to the market and may weaken the narrative of companies continuously hoarding Bitcoin. This viewpoint also reflects market concerns about Strategy's capital structure and its heavy reliance on the sustainability of its Bitcoin balance sheet. Attention should be paid to Strategy's official response and whether there are actual Bitcoin transfers in its on-chain wallet.

According to FinanceFeeds, Ethereum developers are evaluating the EIP-8182 proposal, which aims to introduce native privacy transfers for ETH and ERC-20 tokens through the Hegotá hard fork. The proposal was created by Facet co-founder Tom Lehman on March 3, 2026, and belongs to the Draft Standards Track Core EIP, which has not yet been finalized or scheduled for inclusion in the upgrade.Hegotá is the next upgrade following Glamsterdam, expected to focus on infrastructure and protocol layer improvements. The core of EIP-8182 is to create a standardized shielded pool system contract at the protocol layer, where users can deposit ETH or ERC-20 tokens and use zero-knowledge proofs to spend the tokens. The system adopts a UTXO model instead of Ethereum's account balance model, using a separate proof architecture that does not rely on an administrator-controlled upgrade mechanism or pause functionality.The proposal aims to address issues faced by application layer privacy tools, such as small anonymity sets and governance risks. If included in Hegotá, it would be one of the most significant privacy upgrades for Ethereum. Core developers still need to assess its cryptographic assumptions, state growth, denial-of-service risks, and whether it will be included remains undetermined.

According to TASS, the Deputy Minister of Energy of Russia stated that the government committee recommends banning cryptocurrency mining in certain areas of the Moscow and Kursk regions, with the ban effective until 2032.

According to The Block, analysts at research firm Bernstein stated in their latest report that the fundamentals of the crypto market are continuously improving. The recent low of $60,000 for Bitcoin has formed a clear bottom, and the current price is approaching $80,000. Driven by institutional demand, a longer structural bull market is expected.Bernstein analyst Gautam Chhugani pointed out the following core driving factors:Institutional channels continue to expand: Morgan Stanley's Bitcoin ETF and Charles Schwab's spot Bitcoin/Ethereum trading platform have been launched one after another, with about 60% of Bitcoin supply not having moved for over a year, indicating a stable holder structure;Strategy continues to increase holdings: its STRC perpetual preferred stock product attracts income-focused investors, with current holdings reaching 818,334 Bitcoins;Demand for stablecoins reaches an all-time high: stablecoin supply has surpassed $30 billion, decoupling from the price cycle of the crypto market, showing that real payment and settlement demand continues to grow;Tokenization of real assets accelerates expansion: the scale of tokenized assets such as private credit and government bonds has reached $345 billion, a year-on-year increase of 110%.Bernstein also noted that quantum computing poses a long-term potential risk, but the blockchain ecosystem is expected to have ample time to complete the post-quantum security transition.

According to Jinshi reports, Trump stated that the Secret Service and law enforcement did an excellent job. They responded quickly and bravely. The shooter has been apprehended, and I suggest we "continue with the speech," but will fully comply with law enforcement's instructions. They (the dinner staff) will make a decision soon. Whatever that decision is, tonight's event will be very different from the plan, and we will have to do it again.

According to market news, Cypherpunk Jameson Lopp and several experts in the field of Bitcoin quantum security have proposed Bitcoin Improvement Proposal BIP-361, which suggests freezing quantum-vulnerable addresses, including Satoshi Nakamoto's reserves, to prevent future quantum computers from stealing approximately 1.7 million Bitcoins.The proposal is to be implemented in three phases: first, prohibiting transfers to legacy addresses; second, invalidating legacy signatures and freezing untransferred assets after five years; and finally, allowing some users to recover frozen funds through a zero-knowledge proof mechanism. This proposal aims to promote the migration of the entire network to quantum-resistant addresses, but it has faced opposition from some community members who believe it contradicts the decentralized ethos of Bitcoin and has a predatory nature.

According to Cointelegraph, Nikita Bier, the head of X products, previously hinted at the launch of a product related to "fixing the crypto industry," sparking widespread attention and speculation in the market. The market generally believes that this crypto product may be related to its financial ecosystem layout, expected to involve the upcoming payment and digital wallet product X Money, potentially covering various integration directions such as Bitcoin payment integration, Solana ecosystem collaboration, stablecoin applications, and prediction markets. As of now, X has not made any official response regarding the related plans.Musk previously stated that the early public access version of X Money will be launched in April.

The Bank of Korea stated that after the mispayment incident at Bithumb, careful consideration should be given to introducing a "circuit breaker" mechanism in the cryptocurrency market similar to that in traditional financial markets, to address extreme market volatility and systemic risks.The Bank of Korea pointed out that as the scale of the cryptocurrency market expands and related risks increase, existing regulatory measures are insufficient to fully cover potential issues. Therefore, it is necessary to study the introduction of protective mechanisms that can automatically interrupt trading to enhance market stability and investor protection. Previously, Bithumb experienced abnormal payments of some users' assets due to a system failure, which attracted market attention.

According to Theblock, K33 research director Vetle Lunde pointed out that in recent weeks, the price of Bitcoin has mainly fluctuated between $60,000 and $75,000, indicating that the trading volume of exchange-traded products and the behavior of long-term holders are stabilizing. He described this price trend as "typically associated with market bottoms" and suggested that the price range just above $70,000 may be attractive to medium- to long-term investors.According to Lunde, since late February, the capital flow of Bitcoin ETFs has slightly turned positive, indicating that the sell-off wave since the historical high in October may be coming to an end. He stated that the previous capital outflow was due to profit-taking when the Bitcoin price fell below the investors' cost price, creating a supply-demand feedback loop. However, as prices fell, the motivation to sell weakened, and demand began to stabilize.

According to Jinshi reports, "Bond King" Gundlach stated that the two-year U.S. Treasury yield suggests that a rate hike by the Federal Reserve is imminent.

Hester M. Peirce, a commissioner of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, stated that a research initiative for a "regulatory exemption" for tokenized securities has been launched, allowing limited trading and technical experimentation for certain tokenized securities. This exemption plan will be more cautious than the "comprehensive exemption" proposed by the industry.She believes it is worth exploring whether different types of tokenization models for securities can be tested under the innovation exemption framework and whether issuer consent is needed for third parties to issue tokenized versions of their stocks, in order to promote technological innovation while avoiding regulatory arbitrage and maintaining core investor protection mechanisms.Hester M. Peirce also emphasized that regulators should not overly interfere with private capital allocation. The SEC is currently assessing several key issues, including: whether the existing information disclosure system is sufficient to cover the ownership structure of tokenized securities, the disclosure obligations of brokers and clearing agencies in the issuance of tokenized securities, the compatibility of atomic settlement with the current T+1 settlement rules, and the applicability of regulatory authority in the absence of intermediaries or under new intermediary structures.

Agent Garrett Jin of "1011 Insider Whale" stated that the closure of the Strait of Hormuz has entered its 16th day, and since February 27, oil prices have risen by about 45%. The price of Brent crude oil has risen above $103, and there are still no signs of a ceasefire. The Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) may only be able to cover about 12% to 15% of the supply gap. The recommended trading strategy in the near term is to be bullish on oil and reduce equity exposure, especially in the assets of net energy-importing economies such as Japan, South Korea, and Europe. Meanwhile, in an environment where interest rates, the dollar, and oil prices are all rising, overall market liquidity is tightening. Investors should maintain cash positions, shorten duration, and remain vigilant.

Sources say the International Energy Agency suggests that the released oil reserves could total up to 400 million barrels.

Liquid Capital founder Yi Lihua posted on platform X: "The biggest problem in the crypto industry in recent years is the decline of innovation, which stems from two aspects. First, the previous U.S. government's tightening of crypto policies, which should be resolved with the passage of the recent crypto infrastructure bill. Second, Binance's requirement for projects to adhere to a 1+3 year lock-up mechanism for crypto VCs.I believe Binance's original intention is good, fostering a long-term investment mindset. However, the consequence of this mechanism is that project parties, market makers, and exchanges run away with liquidity first, while VCs face a long unlocking period that leads to zero. VCs originally bore the greatest risks in the primary market, yet they also have to bear the risk of exiting last, which is clearly contrary to traditional investment markets. The result of this is the collective demise of crypto VCs, making it difficult for quality entrepreneurs to secure funding and reducing industry innovation.I suggest giving Zhao Changpeng a better exit mechanism for crypto VCs to activate VC capital, which will benefit industry innovation and also be more favorable for exchanges to list quality assets."

Renowned trader and chart analyst Peter Brandt, who successfully predicted the Bitcoin crash in 2018, released a chart showing the "big banana" pattern, which represents a massive upward-curving channel on the long-term weekly chart (2014-2027).The "small banana" pattern is a smaller similar curve currently forming around $69,000 on the daily chart. The arrow clearly points upward, indicating higher targets.
