Solana co-founder toly commented on the controversy surrounding Circle's USDC freezing mechanism, stating that we need a base layer stablecoin that can only be frozen under a court order. If there are other factors that can freeze it besides authorization from a judge approved by the U.S. Senate, then it is not a true dollar stablecoin.toly suggested that various protocols (such as Drift and Kamino) should issue wrapped stablecoins with their own freezing and unfreezing strategies on top of the base layer stablecoin, equipped with a security team truly responsible for handling hacking incidents, while having independent freezing and unfreezing strategies.It is reported that after the recent hacking of the Drift protocol, Circle did not promptly freeze the stolen USDC. Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire's remarks about the "moral dilemma" and freezing policy have sparked widespread discussion in the community regarding the freezing mechanisms of centralized stablecoins.

Bittensor co-founder Const (@const_reborn) responded on Twitter to recent allegations regarding Covenant AI. Const stated that he has no authority to pause emissions, and that the previous sale of a portion of alpha positions in three subnetworks was because these subnetworks were not operational and were in a high ratio of code destruction state. The impact of this transaction on emissions is consistent with the buying and selling behavior of ordinary TAO holders, and he does not enjoy any special privileges.Regarding management authority, Const clarified that it was Samuel himself who abandoned his Discord channel, and he did not remove his administrator role; he only temporarily restricted his ability to delete posts that honestly criticize and then restored it. Additionally, he emphasized that the scale of the token sell-off was less than 1% of his total investment in the team, and stated that exercising the rights to buy and sell tokens under the dTao system is fundamental to supporting the operation of the system.According to previous reports from ChainCatcher, the main subnetwork developer on Bittensor, Covenant AI, announced its withdrawal from Bittensor. Covenant AI founder Sam Dare stated that the reason Bittensor attracts builders, miners, validators, and investors into this ecosystem is because of its promise not to be controlled by any single entity. But this promise is a lie.

Eigen Labs has released the first Beta version of AgentKit, a toolkit for developers to build AI agents that can hold assets, make payments, manage identities, and operate autonomously online.The initial application scenarios of AgentKit focus on "autonomous media agents," which can generate content (text, images, audio, video), manage their own social presence, and run continuously. In the coming weeks, Eigen Labs will expand AgentKit's integration with popular social platforms, add new agent management templates, and launch an easy-to-use user interface. Future versions of AgentKit will also introduce native support for standards such as x402 and ERC-8004.

Bitcoin is currently maintaining a range-bound oscillation pattern. Under the multiple pressures of the macro environment, market liquidity continues to be constrained, and the price direction remains unclear. Analysis indicates that the interplay of energy prices, monetary policy, and geopolitical risks has led to a compression of liquidity, causing the market to enter a "wait-and-see period." The current market is not lacking in structure but rather in incremental funds.Recently, Bitcoin has stabilized after experiencing volatility, with selling pressure easing somewhat, while ETF fund flows have shown a slight net inflow. However, spot demand remains weak, and the imbalance between supply and demand limits price breakthroughs. From a technical perspective, Bitcoin has found support in the $67,000-$69,000 range, with a key resistance level forming around $72,000. Analysts state that there is a "liquidity gap" above this range, and once effectively broken, the price could quickly rise to the $82,000 area; however, until demand shows significant improvement, the market will continue to maintain an oscillating pattern.On the macro level, high energy prices, global central banks maintaining high interest rates, and uncertainties in the Middle East collectively exacerbate market concerns about "stagflation" risks. Kraken Research points out that the combination of slowing growth and inflationary pressures complicates the policy path and suppresses the performance of risk assets. Against this backdrop, the market has entered a "liquidity compression phase."Bitunix analysis suggests that the mismatch of multiple macro factors has compressed funds into a narrow range, with Bitcoin acting more as a risk appetite indicator rather than a trend trading target. In terms of funds, the March spot Bitcoin ETF recorded a net inflow of approximately $1.5 billion, an improvement from the net outflow in February, but still below January levels, indicating cautious institutional fund inflows. The derivatives market is leaning defensive, with funding rates remaining negative and high demand for downside protection; meanwhile, spot trading volume has not shown sustained growth, indicating limited market participation. Overall, Bitcoin has not yet formed a clear breakthrough or downward trend, and is currently closer to a "accumulation and consolidation" phase, with future movements still dependent on macro data, policy signals, and changes in geopolitical situations.

According to market news, the Solana core development team Anza has launched the Constellation protocol, a multi-concurrent proposer protocol that shortens Solana's block cycle to 50 milliseconds, making it the fastest blockchain in terms of economic rhythm at the protocol level.This protocol replaces the single leader model, eliminating exclusive control over transaction inclusion and ordering through concurrent proposers, enforcing fairness at the protocol level without relying on trusted third parties or modifying clients, while the validator economic model remains largely unchanged.

According to CoinDesk, Alex Thorn, head of research at Galaxy Digital, stated that the threat of quantum computing to Bitcoin is real, but it does not currently pose an imminent crisis. Investors should not misinterpret this long-term technological challenge as an immediate reason to avoid Bitcoin.Thorn pointed out that the current risk is limited to specific addresses with exposed public keys on-chain, including reused addresses, addresses held by certain custodians, and assets in old address formats. An analysis by security firm Project Eleven shows that approximately 7 million BTC (equivalent to about $47 billion at recent prices) are in this "long-term exposed" state, but they remain secure under current quantum computing capabilities.In terms of countermeasures, developers have advanced several proposals, including the introduction of new address types based on post-quantum cryptography, a "sandglass" mechanism that restricts spending permissions for permanently exposed public key addresses, and a phased upgrade path that fundamentally reduces the broadcasting of public keys in transactions.

According to Jinshi reports, Pimco global economic advisor and former Federal Reserve Vice Chairman Clarida stated that the result of this Federal Reserve interest rate decision is "constructively dovish." He added that artificial intelligence supports economic demand, and to some extent, it, along with the BBB (Big Beautiful Bill) tax cuts, may offset the drag caused by rising oil prices.
