March Review
In March, Bitcoin fluctuated between $65,000 and $76,000. The Middle East conflict and soaring oil prices dominated the month, becoming the hottest topics in macroeconomic discussions. Meanwhile, traditional financial institutions accelerated their entry, with ICE, the parent company of the NYSE, investing heavily in OKX; and Hyperliquid seized the opportunity to gain pricing power over volatile commodities (such as on-chain oil), becoming the most watched project of the month.
The AI open-source project OpenClaw became a sensation at the beginning of the month, but the "lobster" craze has gradually cooled down, and the market is returning to the essence of encryption. The AI project TAO has been highly sought after this month. In an interview, Jensen Huang praised Bittensor and its distributed training technology, believing that developing a model with 72 billion parameters is a remarkable achievement.
Cryptocurrency regulation received a major boost as the SEC and CFTC jointly released new rules, officially ending the "everything is a security" panic in the industry. Following Trump's statement expressing a desire for a swift end to the war, Polymarket saw a surge of new accounts betting on a ceasefire by the end of March or mid-April. Backpack's token launch at the end of the month sparked community discontent, and the $SIREN token's wild price swings and leveraged fraud prompted Binance to intervene and crack down on irregularities by active market makers.
In such a narrative-heavy month, PANews platform saw a surge of high-quality content. Among them, columnist 137Labs stood out, with three outstanding pieces making it into the Top 10 this month, making him the institutional author with the most top-ranked works.
