According to a report by Press TV, a news channel controlled by the Iranian government, Iranian officials issued a statement mentioning that Iran has responded negatively to the U.S. proposal and insists that the war will only end on Iran's own terms and timeline.The official, who is familiar with the details of the Iranian government, stated that Iran will not allow Trump to decide when the war ends. He also emphasized Tehran's determination to continue defending and inflicting "heavy blows" on the enemy until its demands are met. The official outlined five specific conditions for Iran to agree to end the war, including:A complete halt to the enemy's "aggression and assassination" actions.Establishing specific mechanisms to ensure that war will not be imposed on Iran again.Guarantees and clear definitions of compensation and restoration costs for war losses.Ending the war across all fronts and within the scope of all resistance organizations involved in the region.The international community recognizing and safeguarding Iran's sovereign rights to exercise jurisdiction over the Strait of Hormuz.Iran has communicated to all well-meaning intermediaries that the prerequisite for a ceasefire is the acceptance of all its conditions. The official emphasized, "No negotiations will take place before this," and reiterated that Iran's defensive actions will continue until the aforementioned conditions are met.

According to a report by Fars News, citing Iranian media, Iran has stated that it will not accept a ceasefire and will not enter into any negotiation process with the party that has breached the agreement, as negotiating with the United States is illogical.Iran also confirmed that the United States is indeed intensifying efforts to facilitate a ceasefire. However, Iran does not accept a ceasefire, and under the current circumstances, both a ceasefire and negotiations are not feasible.

According to Gate market data, the S&P 500 index futures have narrowed their increase significantly to 0.7%. On the news front, there are reports that Iran will not enter into any negotiation process with the defaulting party.

On Tuesday, U.S. President Trump stated that Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are leading negotiations with Iran and expressed optimism about reaching an agreement. Sources from Iran told CNN that Tehran is willing to consider "sustainable" proposals to end the war.Meanwhile, Israel has launched a new round of strikes against Iran, and Tehran has also attacked Tel Aviv. An Israeli official stated that the agreement "does not seem feasible at the moment." Two regional sources said that Iran has indicated to the Trump administration that it does not wish to restart negotiations with envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, but prefers to engage with Vice President JD Vance.Additionally, about 1,000 soldiers from the U.S. Army's 82nd Airborne Division are expected to be deployed to the Middle East in the coming days. The Republican side has once again rejected a resolution requiring Trump to seek congressional authorization for future military actions against Iran.

According to foreign media reports, the conflict between Iran and the US and Israel continues unabated, while Trump claims that both sides are engaged in negotiations aimed at ending this conflict. Iran launched missile and drone attacks on Israeli cities such as Eilat, Dimona, and Tel Aviv, as well as US military bases in the Middle East during the night. Saudi Arabia stated that it intercepted a drone in its eastern region, while Kuwait reported that some power lines stopped operating following the Iranian attacks. Alarms also sounded in Bahrain.According to Iranian media Fars News, the US and Israel launched attacks that damaged a gas pressure regulation facility and an administrative building in the central Iranian city of Isfahan. Additionally, a pipeline supplying gas to the combined cycle power plant in Khorramshahr in southwestern Iran was attacked. The attacks continued after Trump postponed the decision to strike Iran's energy infrastructure.

Ethereum Foundation researcher ladislaus.eth posted on social media that Ethereum core developers plan to decide on March 26 whether to include EIP-8141 (Frame Transactions) in the Hegota upgrade.EIP-8141 decouples accounts from fixed signature schemes, providing a native migration path for post-quantum secure (PQ-secure) signature schemes. If post-quantum security is only implemented at the consensus layer (leanCL) while user transactions at the execution layer still rely on quantum-vulnerable ECDSA, it will constitute an incomplete migration.

Ethereum Foundation researcher ladislaus.eth disclosed that the Ethereum core developer meeting (AllCoreDevs) plans to make a decision this Thursday on whether to include EIP-8141 in the Hegota upgrade.The core of EIP-8141 is to decouple accounts from fixed signature schemes, providing a native path for migration to post-quantum secure signature schemes. ladislaus.eth pointed out that if the consensus layer (leanCL) already possesses post-quantum security, but user transactions on the execution layer still rely on ECDSA signatures that have quantum vulnerabilities, then the overall migration is not complete; both layers need to have post-quantum readiness.In addition, EIP-8141 will also support account abstraction as a native feature of the protocol and support programmable Gas payments (including payments with ERC-20 tokens and transaction sponsorship). Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin added that EIP-8141 will also provide better native support for privacy protocols and draw a comparison with the general programmability of the EVM—this proposal will introduce programmability into the verification phase, which previously only hardcoded ECDSA.

According to The Block, the U.S. SEC and CFTC jointly released a 68-page new guideline, clarifying that most cryptocurrencies do not fall under the category of securities.SEC Chairman Paul Atkins stated at the Washington Blockchain Summit that this move will provide market participants with clear guidance on how federal securities laws apply to crypto assets. The guidelines detail the classification of stablecoins, digital commodities, and "digital tools," all of which are identified as non-securities, and explain how "non-security crypto assets" can transform into securities, as well as how federal securities laws apply to mining, protocol staking, and airdrops.Digital commodities are defined as assets that are "intrinsically linked to the programmatic operation of functional crypto systems and the dynamics of supply and demand from which they derive value," and digital collectibles are also not considered securities. Atkins remarked, "We are no longer the 'Securities and Everything Commission'," which stands in stark contrast to the previous SEC Chairman Gary Gensler's position of viewing most cryptocurrencies as securities. CFTC Chairman Michael Selig also attended the summit.

According to Crypto In America, during the DC Blockchain Summit hosted by The Digital Chamber, several U.S. lawmakers and industry professionals will discuss the progress of stablecoin legislation. Tim Scott (Chairman of the Senate Banking Committee) is expected to be asked about the timeline for the next markup of the relevant bill at the event.Insiders have revealed that negotiations surrounding the "yield" issue of stablecoins are nearing consensus. Cody Carbone stated that the regulatory framework may include a ban on providing yields on idle stablecoin balances, while allowing reward mechanisms based on trading behavior, with relevant parties expected to reach a solution within the next week. Additionally, Thom Tillis and Angela Alsobrooks are seen as key legislative advocates, both expressing concerns about the banking industry's worries regarding funds flowing from deposit accounts to high-yield crypto products.Industry insiders believe that once these two lawmakers are satisfied with the text of the bill, the controversy over stablecoin yields is likely to be fundamentally resolved, after which regulatory focus will shift to issues such as DeFi and token classification.
