Written by Igor Zemtsov, the chief technology officer at TBCC, the "Libragate" incident caused a significant drop in memecoin prices, resulting in a nearly 60% decrease in market cap from the highs of 2025. Despite this setback, meme tokens are showing resilience, similar to a cat with multiple lives. As of March 10, memecoins still held a market cap of $47.9 billion, a substantial amount. Despite facing challenges, enthusiasts are still buying into memecoins like Unicorn Fart Dust, Fartcoin, and Buttcoin in hopes of significant profits.

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong stated in a post, "US stablecoin legislation should allow consumers to earn interest on stablecoins. The government should not favor a particular industry, but should allow banks and crypto companies to share interest with consumers and incentivize them to do so. Stablecoins, through digitizing the US dollar and other fiat currencies, have found a product-market fit, but we have not yet unlocked a key piece that would allow ordinary people and the US economy to fully benefit: on-chain interest."

The decision to prohibit closed pension funds from investing in crypto assets was influenced by the instability of digital currencies, particularly following Bitcoin's 120% surge in 2024, reaching approximately $80,000. This ruling mainly impacts major pension funds like Previ and Petros, which cater to millions of retirees and have traditionally favored low-risk investments like government bonds due to Brazil's 10.5% Selic rate. Despite the ban on cryptocurrencies, the council is still permitting investments in other sectors such as agro-industrial funds and infrastructure debentures to support Brazil's $150 billion export industry. This move contrasts with the trend in other countries where U.S. pension funds are embracing Bitcoin ETFs, Australia allows indirect crypto exposure, while South Korea and the Netherlands remain cautious about integrating crypto into their financial systems. Despite the ban on crypto investments, Brazil's 2022 crypto law marked a significant step towards regulating the digital asset market, with 10 million Brazilians now holding digital assets and evolving real estate regulations for pension funds.

Goldman Sachs has adjusted its GDP growth forecast for the U.S. downward to 1.5% from 2.0%, and is now anticipating inflation to potentially increase to 3.5% instead of the previous estimate of 3.0%. Despite these concerns, the financial firm is expecting rate cuts to occur sooner than originally expected, which could offer some relief. The impact of tariffs on global trade is escalating, with Trump's recent "reciprocal tariff" week marking a significant escalation. By April 2, 20% tariffs will be imposed on imports from over 25 countries, affecting an estimated $1.5 trillion worth of goods by April 2025. Canada, China, the European Union, and Mexico are all taking retaliatory measures, adding to global economic uncertainty. Bitcoin (BTC) has concluded its worst Q1 performance since 2018, and analysts are cautioning that challenges may persist. Goldman Sachs has adjusted its outlook on the U.S. economy, now forecasting more rate cuts from the Fed and ECB.

The identity of the recipients of this donation will be based on the users' KYC or POA information.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims, their families, and all those affected by the disaster. Binance is united with the community and we hope our efforts can bring some comfort and assistance in this difficult time."

The House is expected to release a revised market structure draft in the coming weeks, building on previous bills like the FIT21 Act and the Responsible Financial Innovation Act.

With a presale that raised over $2.6 million, early investors are showing confidence in the project's combination of machine learning and meme culture. While Dawgz AI gains momentum, PlutoChain ($PLUTO) is already live on Uniswap and attracting attention for its Layer-2 solution for Bitcoin, offering fast transactions, EVM compatibility, and DeFi infrastructure. Dawgz AI is blending meme appeal with practicality by providing AI trading tools for identifying profitable trades and customizable trading strategies based on risk tolerance. Despite its innovation, Dawgz AI is still in the early stages and speculative, lacking a fully released roadmap or product suite. For a more solid investment option, PlutoChain presents itself as a compelling alternative with real infrastructure and potential for growth in the BTCFi sector.

Cryptocurrency investors are increasingly shifting their investments towards stablecoins and tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) to avoid volatility ahead of US President Donald Trump’s tariff announcement on April 2. The flow of capital into stablecoins and RWAs, which represent financial products and tangible assets like real estate and fine art on the blockchain, is on the rise. These assets are seen as safe havens in the current uncertain market, according to crypto intelligence platform IntoTheBlock. Geopolitical tensions and global trade concerns are driving investors towards safety, as growth expectations have decreased globally in recent months. The upcoming tariff announcement on April 2 is expected to target top US trading partners in an effort to reduce the country’s trade deficit and boost domestic manufacturing.
