Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming the core of global technological competition, and this race is not just a contest between nations; it profoundly impacts the cryptocurrency industry.

🔹 The U.S. government has announced a $500 billion investment in building AI infrastructure, and the combination of AI and cryptocurrency may become one of the biggest transformations in the future financial market.

🔹 AI is accelerating its penetration into core areas such as DeFi, trading, risk control, and governance, and may even change the way the entire market operates.

But is this really a 'blessing' for the cryptocurrency industry? Will the rise of AI promote decentralization or lead to market control by a few AIs? 🤔

Friends who stayed up late to watch Trump’s White House encryption summit may be quite disappointed.

In this meeting hailed as "laying the foundation for the direction of the crypto market in the next four years", the market was looking forward to the implementation of regulatory details, the increase in Bitcoin national holdings, and the stablecoin strategic plan. However, what it got was Trump talking about the World Cup, major institutions taking turns to flatter him, and a political show full of performance traces 🎭.

Before the meeting, the market was looking forward to it: "The big one is coming!"

After the meeting, reality slapped me in the face: “That’s it?”

The market reaction was very real - Bitcoin fell from $91,000 before the meeting to $82,000, Ethereum returned to $2,000, and even XRP, SOL, and ADA, which were "praised by name" by Trump before the summit, fell. This summit completely dashed the market's expectations.

The Trump administration has finally taken action, signing an executive order regarding the U.S. strategic Bitcoin reserves. However, the market's reaction was completely unexpected—Bitcoin prices fell instead of rising! 🚨

Why is the market not buying it? Originally, everyone expected the U.S. government to directly buy large amounts of Bitcoin, like El Salvador did, but the reality is that this reserve mainly comes from previously confiscated Bitcoin, with no additional purchasing plan. This deviation from market expectations has led to fluctuations in funding sentiment.

📉 Why is the market's reaction tepid?

🔹 The government has not actually 'bought' Bitcoin, but rather 'utilized existing assets' to create a strategic reserve, lacking incremental funding support 💰

Can you imagine? For the past four years, the keyword for the cryptocurrency market has been 'suppression'. Every time news from the U.S. government is heard, it’s mostly lawsuits against a project from three-letter agencies (SEC, CFTC, FBI). But now, an unprecedented regulatory shift is occurring—America is no longer banning cryptocurrencies but rather supporting them to become a global financial center!

Are you still viewing the market from a past perspective? You might miss the next opportunity for a thousandfold growth! 💥

🔥 U.S. policy makes a 180° turn, transforming cryptocurrency from a forbidden zone to a 'national priority'

On March 7, U.S. President Trump, in a rare interview with Fox News, acknowledged that the U.S. economy is undergoing a "transition period" and refused to rule out the possibility of a recession in 2025. He stated that short-term turbulence is necessary as his economic reforms will "bring back wealth" and make America stronger in the future. Treasury Secretary Basant also admitted that the U.S. economy may face a difficult period, while Commerce Secretary Lutnik tried to reassure the market, insisting that "the U.S. will not go into recession." However, the market seems unconvinced, as the violent fluctuations in the cryptocurrency and stock markets remind investors that the storm is not yet over.

According to Mlion.ai, on February 20, Protos reported that developer "Calle" recently discovered that the Bitcoin Lightning Network has a serious security vulnerability, which involves nodes using LND 0.18.5 or LITD 0.14.1 or earlier versions. This vulnerability may allow hackers to remotely control the payment status of payment vouchers, thereby stealing user funds, posing a huge security risk.
Vulnerability details: Low version nodes are exposed to risks
This vulnerability mainly affects lightning network nodes before LND 0.18.5 and LITD 0.14.1. If you use these versions of nodes, you may face a huge risk of fund security. Hackers can use this vulnerability to remotely tamper with the payment status of payment vouchers, thereby bypassing payment protection measures and ultimately stealing funds.

Do you think the IRS's newly enacted DeFi broker rule could put enormous pressure on the entire industry? Now, major institutions in the cryptocurrency sector are joining voices, calling on the U.S. Congress to repeal this new regulation. The matter involves not just tax compliance but also the future of **decentralized finance (DeFi)** and America's position in global competition.
What is the 'DeFi Broker Rule'?
The new rules recently introduced by the IRS require all decentralized finance (DeFi) brokers to comply with the same information reporting requirements as traditional securities brokers and exchanges. This rule requires DeFi platforms to report user transactions and asset details to the IRS, similar to what traditional stock and securities exchanges do. While these regulations are prevalent in traditional financial markets, their applicability to the DeFi sector has sparked significant controversy.

If you think Musk is merely tweeting, launching cars, and getting angry, then you are very mistaken! This Silicon Valley Iron Man has just made another 'big move,' establishing a new department called **'Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)'**, with one of its most direct goals being to challenge the regulatory agency for cryptocurrencies — the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)! This move has not only shaken Wall Street but has also sent an unprecedented shockwave through the cryptocurrency community.
Musk's three 'killer moves' are ready to be unleashed!
Insiders reveal that the DOGE team is currently planning three major aggressive actions, aiming not only to break the existing financial structure but also to 'break the ice' on the traditional constraints of the cryptocurrency industry. Just how powerful will these actions be?

Ethereum's struggles in market volatility
Recently, Ethereum (ETH) has broken through several key resistance levels. Although there have been occasional short-term gains, the overall trend remains highly uncertain. Market volatility has intensified, coupled with the overall gloomy sentiment in the cryptocurrency market, analysts generally believe that Ethereum faces significant bearish pressure in the short term. Technical indicators for Ethereum show some downside risk, and a prolonged consolidation phase is expected before May.
The short-term market outlook for Ethereum is bearish
Although Ethereum has performed well during the recent upward cycle, the current market environment is not conducive to its continued strength. From a technical perspective, ETH's support level is being tested, and after breaking through key support areas, the rebound strength seems insufficient. Traders' confidence is affected, and the market's expectations for its future direction are becoming pessimistic. As Bitcoin's dominance continues to rise, investors are more inclined to concentrate their funds on stable assets like BTC, further suppressing Ethereum's performance.

1. SOL: Breaks key support, short-term weakness
SOL was the first to break below the crash low of February 3 during the recent price adjustment. This breakthrough is an important signal for the market, indicating that SOL's trend may face greater downside risk in the short term. If you hold SOL, it is recommended to closely monitor market fluctuations and be prepared for stop-loss measures. The current weak trend suggests that market sentiment is cautious and may take longer to recover.
2. ETH: Steady progress, strong support level
In comparison, ETH's performance is relatively stable. Despite facing market uncertainty, it has formed a strong support area around $2100. This level has been tested multiple times and is difficult to break in the short term. From a technical perspective, the sideways consolidation pattern of ETH indicates that market participants' confidence has not been severely impacted, and more funds are waiting for further trend confirmation. If it can stabilize at this level, ETH is expected to see further rebounds.

Bitcoin (BTC) Intraday Analysis:
Bitcoin's daily candlestick chart has closed bearish for three consecutive days, and yesterday formed a bearish doji. It is worth noting that the lower band has started to show an upward trend, and the MACD indicator remains in the bearish zone, with the KDJ showing a death cross downwards, and the RSI also starting to turn downwards, indicating an overall bearish trend.
In the 3-day and 5-day candlestick charts, Bitcoin's price is still under pressure from the middle band, forming a bearish trend.
On the 4-hour chart, the market has undergone a V-shaped reversal, but due to the gradually diminishing bearish energy of MACD and the KDJ showing a golden cross signal, the RSI is turning down, indicating that the indicators are not unified, making it unsuitable to enter the market recklessly in the short term. The current price is rebounding near 93,300, with a maximum rebound to 95,800, then oscillating back down. Therefore, for short-term operations, it is recommended to focus on high shorts while waiting for the market to further repair.

As cryptocurrency assets and market dynamics gradually become hot topics among investors, the price trend of SWARMS has attracted considerable attention. The fluctuations in the current price range provide exploitable opportunities for short-term traders, especially as it approaches the key area near the recent high price. If market sentiment continues to be bullish, SWARMS is expected to test higher resistance levels.
Current Market Analysis: A Golden Opportunity for Short-Term Traders
From the market dynamics perspective, SWARMS's current price is not far from the highest price of 0.0531. If market sentiment continues to improve, breaking through this high point is not difficult. At this time, short-term traders can seize the volatility trend and operate flexibly.

Have you ever thought about whether the emergence of Grok 3 will become the key to the next open-source revolution? Many people are speculating whether Musk will open-source this new version of the AI model as scheduled. After all, open-source is an undeniable force for driving technological innovation! However, recently Musk finally revealed this highly anticipated answer during a live broadcast: 'Will Grok3 be open-sourced? The previous generation will be open-sourced when the next version is released!'
How significant is this change compared to the past?
First of all, everyone should know what open-source means for the growth of AI technology: more developers, more innovation, and potential technological breakthroughs. In the past, Musk has consistently emphasized the closed-source model of the 'Grok' series, especially with the release of Grok3, and his attitude has been relatively conservative. But this time, his response is clearly a significant signal! He not only mentioned that 'after Grok3 stabilizes, Grok2 will also be open-sourced,' which undoubtedly injects more possibilities into the future technological ecosystem. Don't you look forward to being among the first to access these advanced technologies?

Regarding the Prague upgrade for Ethereum in April, someone asked for my opinion. My view is still that old saying - good news, go with the trend. You either intervene when the market is in a balance between bulls and bears, breaking that balance; or you increase your position in a bullish market.

However, from an overall market perspective, Q1 belongs to a bearish market. Any increase in any currency will be pressured by the return of Ripple to the annual line and the fluctuations in Bitcoin, thus the rise of Ethereum is likely to be suppressed in Q1.
However, the Prague upgrade as a piece of good news for April will more likely affect the trend in Q2. After experiencing a significant drop in Q1, the overall market may enter a sideways consolidation period, where the forces of bulls and bears may tend to balance. Once the market enters a sideways phase, a strong piece of good news may break that balance and push the market upward.

He Yi's stance is very clear: these rumors are entirely baseless malicious hype.
He Yi responded: Binance operates steadily, and the rumors are completely unfounded.
Regarding the recent rumors about Binance's potential sale, He Yi stated that these messages are untrue and completely unfounded. He bluntly said that all of this is a public relations tactic by competitors aimed at disturbing Binance's market position and affecting Binance's reputation by creating false information.

The introduction of these five trading pairs is an important step for Binance in expanding market depth, especially the BNX/USDC trading pair, which involves the highly watched BNX token and may provoke a strong market reaction. Other trading pairs like CAKE/USDC and HEI/USDC are also popular cryptocurrencies, and their addition undoubtedly brings more choices and investment opportunities to the market.

Can you imagine the impact on the market if Bitcoin's price falls below $95,000? According to the latest data from Coinglass, if Bitcoin drops below this key price point, the long liquidation pressure on mainstream CEXs could reach an astonishing $749 million! Conversely, if Bitcoin's price breaks above $98,000, the short liquidation amount could be as high as $672 million. The market pressure behind this, once released, could trigger a huge storm of price volatility. 🌪️
What is 'liquidation'? Why is it so important?
In the derivatives market, **'liquidation'** refers to the process where the exchange automatically closes a trader's position when they fail to meet the maintenance margin requirements in a timely manner. For investors holding long positions (i.e., bullish on Bitcoin price), if the price of Bitcoin falls to a certain level, their positions may be forcibly liquidated. For investors holding short positions (i.e., bearish on Bitcoin price), if Bitcoin's price rises to a certain degree, they will also face liquidation.

Have you noticed? Last week, the U.S. stock market was all in the green, with the S&P 500 index, Dow Jones, and Nasdaq all experiencing gains, and investors seem to have regained confidence. However, the cryptocurrency market remains volatile; Bitcoin, while hovering between $96,000 and $97,000, has not broken through. In the face of the latest U.S. inflation data and the Fed's policy direction, market sentiment remains elusive. This week, all eyes will be on the upcoming release of the Federal Reserve meeting minutes and further developments in the global situation.
