According to official news, Trump's crypto project WLFI announced the completion of a total of $550 million in token sales, with over 85,000 participants completing KYC verification. WLFI's "macro strategy" has also allocated various digital assets in its strategic reserve plan, including BTC, ETH, TRX, LINK, SUI, and ONDO tokens.

South Korean Financial Regulator Imposes 0.6% Regulatory Fee on Crypto Exchanges
According to the Electronic Times, the Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) of South Korea has required crypto exchanges to pay a total annual regulatory fee of 7.9 billion won (approximately $5.54 million). The fee is set at 0.6%, higher than the initially expected 0.4%. These fees must be paid quarterly by the end of March, May, July, and October each year. The fee distribution is as follows, except for Korbit (whose operating revenue is below 3 billion won, approximately $2.08 million):
Dunamu, the operator of Upbit, will pay 6.7 billion won (approximately $4.64 million);
Bithumb will pay 900 million won (approximately $624,000);
Coinone will pay 150 million won (approximately $104,000);
Gopax will pay about 21.35 million won (approximately $14,800).
The total fees for the four major exchanges amount to approximately 7.9 billion won (about $5.54 million).
Cronos Proposal to Restore 70 Billion CRO Tokens Passed, Voting Process Raises Community Concerns
Voting data on Mintscan shows that the proposal to restore 70 billion CRO tokens that were destroyed received a 62.18% approval rate. This proposal suggested restoring the 70 billion CRO tokens destroyed in 2021 to establish a Cronos strategic reserve and will update network parameters and token distribution in the Cronos POS V5 upgrade.
Additionally, according to Un Chained, the proposal had slightly more votes in favor than against before March 16, but it had not yet reached the required quorum of 33.4% to take effect. Just before the voting ended, 3.35 billion CRO tokens were added to the approval category, reaching the quorum, and the voting rate far exceeded the maximum voting rate.
Sources indicate that the problematic votes came from large validators operated by Crypto.com (including Starship, Falcon Heavy, Electron, Antares, and Minotaur IV), which control 70-80% of the total voting power. One token holder commented on Telegram about the final result, saying, "They (Crypto.com) voted almost at the last minute. Now they have set a precedent that other projects can follow."
According to the official announcement, Binance Alpha has launched TUT.
SlowMist: Four.meme Token Hacked, Liquidity Stolen Using Pre-Release Vulnerability
According to SlowMist monitoring, the Four.meme token was attacked, and liquidity was stolen using a pre-release vulnerability.
The attacker purchased a small amount of tokens before the release using the 0x7f79f6df function of Four.meme and exploited this function to send tokens to an address for a PancakeSwap trading pair that had not yet been created.
This allowed the attacker to create a trading pair and add liquidity without needing to transfer the unreleased tokens, bypassing the transfer restrictions (MODETRANSFERRESTRICTED) before the release of the Four.meme token.
Ultimately, the attacker added liquidity at an unexpected price, successfully stealing liquidity from the pool.
