ChainCatcher news, according to Politico, Trump posted on Truth Social on March 2, stating "will advance a cryptocurrency strategic reserve including XRP, SOL, and ADA," which was actually driven by the lobbyist Ballard Partners, and Trump himself was unaware. The lobbyist Ballard has been "ousted" from the White House.According to insiders, just minutes after the president's post, the White House's "cryptocurrency czar" David Sacks became furious, and soon White House officials realized that the XRP mentioned in "Truth Social" was a client of lobbyist Ballard. Insiders revealed that after the post about cryptocurrency was exposed, White House staff were instructed not to meet with Ballard.However, those close to Trump indicated that the dissatisfaction with Ballard goes far beyond this; some White House officials believe Ballard is profiting from Trump's reputation.

ChainCatcher news, according to Bitcoinmagazine, Fidelity Digital Assets Vice President Chris Kuiper delivered a speech at the Strategy World 2025 conference, urging companies to reassess their considerations of risk, capital allocation, and long-term financial health. He pointed out that Bitcoin has had a compound annual growth rate of 79% over the past decade, far exceeding the nominal return rate of 1.3% for investment-grade bonds, proving that it is not only a speculative asset but also a strategic reserve. He emphasized that companies need to reevaluate risk and capital allocation, as inflation and currency devaluation are threatening balance sheets, and traditional safe havens like U.S. Treasury bonds have turned negative in real returns.In response to the volatility controversy surrounding Bitcoin, Kuiper proposed position adjustments and long-term strategies, suggesting that companies allocate 1-5% of their assets to Bitcoin, which could enhance risk-adjusted returns and limit drawdowns. He also cited Microsoft as an example, pointing out that if excess cash were taken into account, its return on invested capital (ROIC) would drop from 49% to 29%, highlighting the inefficiency of cash. He concluded that companies should focus more on their balance sheets rather than just their income statements, as Bitcoin can convert idle cash into productive assets, and posed the question to executives: "Can your opportunities outperform Bitcoin?"

ChainCatcher news, Vitalik Buterin published a blog post detailing the evolution strategy of the Ethereum Rollup security model. The model is divided into three phases: Phase 0 (complete control by the security committee), Phase 1 (requires 75% approval from security committee members to intervene), and Phase 2 (the security committee can only intervene in the event of a provable vulnerability).Vitalik explains through mathematical modeling that, considering each security committee member has a 10% "failure" probability, the Layer 2 network should start deployment directly from Phase 1, rather than remaining in Phase 0. At the same time, he also points out that it is not advisable to jump to Phase 2 too early, suggesting that the security of the underlying proof system should be prioritized. He recommends that data providers (such as L2beat) should demonstrate the audit and maturity indicators of the proof system.
