According to a report by Reuters, Apple Inc. is facing a class-action lawsuit in London, with claims amounting to £2 billion (approximately $2.7 billion). The lawsuit was filed today in the London Competition Appeal Tribunal by Ann Pope, a former senior official of the UK's Competition and Markets Authority, representing app developers.The core allegation is that Apple's "App Tracking Transparency" (ATT) feature, launched in 2021, imposes stricter restrictions on third-party developers than on its own services, giving Apple's own advertising ecosystem an unfair competitive advantage. Ann Pope stated that Apple's policies "have caused very significant harm to businesses that rely on Apple as a gatekeeper."Since its launch, the ATT feature has been a focal point of concern for global regulators for several years. Apple's official stance is that the feature is designed to allow users to control whether to permit apps to track their activities across other companies and websites.However, the plaintiffs argue that the actual enforcement of this rule has a double standard—tracking requests from third-party apps require strict pop-up authorization, while Apple's own personalized ads and services can bypass the same restrictions. This lawsuit represents the latest legal challenge Apple faces regarding its ATT policy and is the first large-scale private antitrust lawsuit initiated in the UK market against Apple's app ecosystem rules following scrutiny from regulators in the EU, the US, and several other countries.

According to The Block, CryptoQuant's research director Julio Moreno stated that the bottom for Bitcoin may be around $53,600, which is the current realized price and has historically marked the bottom of bear markets multiple times. Currently, Bitcoin is trading at approximately $62,150, about 9% higher than that level. However, demand conditions remain weak. CryptoQuant estimates that total demand decreased by 652,000 BTC last week, marking the largest single-week decline since January 2022. The 30-day ETF demand growth has dropped to -74,000 BTC, the weakest level since the ETF was launched. Meanwhile, the realized losses over the past 30 days amount to 187,000 BTC, significantly lower than the 400,000 BTC when it first fell below $60,000 in February and the 1.2 million BTC during the FTX collapse in November 2022, indicating that a capitulation-style sell-off has not yet been reached. Moreno stated that while the price level may suggest a bottom is near, a bull market requires a recovery in demand, which has not yet been reflected in the data. Until total demand stabilizes, ETF capital flows recover, and realized losses reach capitulation peaks, the current price should be viewed as a candidate for valuation bottom rather than a confirmed cycle bottom.

The Huobi HTX VIP private class "AI + Trading from Theory to Practice" was held in Shanghai, where early Bitcoin miner and pyra.io CTO Tian Jia shared the development of quantum computing and the impact of AI on trading.He believes that in the AI era, investors are more equitable in "gaining knowledge," such as establishing institutional-level trading frameworks. However, in "trading competition," it is less equitable, such as training institutional-level trading models. The real enhancement of fairness comes from AI lowering the cognitive threshold, while the true unfairness expands from the concentration of data, speed, capital, and platform manipulation capabilities.

According to Cointelegraph, SpaceX plans to conduct a $75 billion IPO in June, and if its valuation reaches $1.75 trillion to $2 trillion after going public, it may enter the Nasdaq 100 index within 15 trading days through Nasdaq's "fast track" rule, thereby increasing the index's exposure to Bitcoin.According to SpaceX's latest S-1 filing, it holds 18,712 BTC, valued at approximately $1.45 billion. If combined with Tesla's 11,509 BTC, the two companies under Musk will become significant holders of Bitcoin in the Nasdaq 100.Strategy CEO Phong Le stated that with the SpaceX IPO, Mag 7 will become Mag 8, with 25% of the companies' balance sheets holding Bitcoin.However, analyst Nic Puckrin believes that the SpaceX IPO could be bad news for tech stocks. After being included in the Nasdaq 100, passive funds will need to buy SpaceX and sell existing components like Nvidia, Apple, and Microsoft, potentially creating a large-scale capital siphoning effect.Reports indicate that Bitcoin has recently been highly correlated with large tech stocks, with a 30-day correlation of approximately 0.81 between BTC and the Magnificent Seven ETF (MAGS). Analysts suggest that if tech stocks face pressure due to index rebalancing, Bitcoin may also face downward risks in the short term.

According to CoinDesk, Ethereum application developer Consensys has postponed its potential IPO plans until at least the fall due to unfavorable market conditions. Consensys had planned to confidentially submit an S-1 registration statement to the SEC by the end of February this year and had hired JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs to lead the process.In February 2026, the cryptocurrency market saw a significant decline due to macroeconomic uncertainties, tariff concerns, and outflows from Bitcoin ETFs, leading several crypto companies to suspend their IPO plans. BitGo was the only crypto-native company to go public in 2026, but its stock price fell about 36% from its IPO price. A Consensys spokesperson stated that they do not comment on market speculation. Consensys completed a $450 million Series D funding round in early 2022, with a valuation of $7 billion.

According to China News Network, the "3·15" gala reported on the "poisoning" chaos of AI large models. Li Fumin, an expert from the Institute of Intelligent Social Governance at Shandong University of Finance and Economics, stated that the behavior of businesses conducting targeted training on large models through services like GEO to guide AI in generating specific product or service recommendations is essentially a new form of unfair competition and consumer misleading behavior that uses technical means for covert marketing and fabricating facts. This leads consumers to receive implanted marketing content without their knowledge, and its harmfulness and illegality need to be taken seriously.On one hand, the above behavior infringes upon the consumers' right to know and the right to fair trade as stipulated by the Consumer Rights Protection Law. On the other hand, it constitutes false or misleading commercial promotion using technical means, disrupting the normal order of recommendation algorithms and the market competition environment, thereby forming unfair competition.The governance of the above AI poisoning behavior requires a multi-faceted approach. Regulatory authorities should include AI-induced marketing in key monitoring and strengthen law enforcement supervision; AI operators should enhance the review of source materials and output filtering, and establish traceability mechanisms; consumers should improve their awareness of the commercial nature of AI-generated information and actively protect their rights through complaints and reports.

The BNB Chain developer team stated that as the ecosystem continues to expand, applications need to share rules for seamless collaboration. To this end, BNB Chain has launched the BAP (BNB Application Proposal) mechanism, allowing developers to reach consensus on application layer standards such as NFT utility, AI agent behavior, and identity specifications without touching the consensus layer or EVM.The official introduction also presented the first proposal BAP-578, which is the Non-Fungible Agent (NFA) token standard. This standard proposes that the NFA is an AI-driven asset existing on-chain, capable of autonomous operation, wallet holding, executing transactions, recording behavioral history, and functioning across multiple dApps. BAP-578 is seen as one of the infrastructures for the "agent economy," aiming to promote the flow and collaboration of AI agents within the BNB Chain ecosystem according to unified standards.BNB Chain pointed out that the BAP is designed to be community-driven, allowing developers to participate in reviewing BAP-578, providing feedback, or submitting new BAPs to collectively shape the application layer standard system.

Trump defended the tariff policy strongly in a post on Truth Social, stating, "Due to the convenience and rapid implementation of tariffs, our national security has been greatly enhanced, and the United States has become the strongest economic power in the world to date. Only evil forces would want to see this situation come to an end!The greatest historical threat to American national security will be an unfavorable ruling by the Supreme Court regarding tariffs. At that time, we will be completely defenseless economically."

On Thursday, U.S. President Trump publicly acknowledged for the first time that American consumers "may" bear "some" of the higher prices resulting from the tariffs he has implemented, marking a significant shift from his long-standing assertion that "foreigners pay." This statement comes as the U.S. Supreme Court questions the legality of his use of executive power to set tariffs. Trump had previously warned that any ruling stripping him of his tariff powers would be "catastrophic." He stated that if the ruling is unfavorable, his administration must immediately initiate some sort of "Plan B" to respond, claiming that such a move would have a "devastating impact" on the United States.

ChainCatcher news, according to Cointelegraph, Bloomberg analyst James Seifat believes that "BlackRock launching a Solana (SOL) spot ETF simultaneously with other issuers is unfair." He explained, "In June 2024, VanEck applied for the first SOL spot ETF in the U.S., and smaller issuers like Bitwise, Grayscale, and Invesco also followed suit, having been in long discussions with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and preparing relevant documents. It is unfair for BlackRock to intervene at the last minute and launch a SOL spot ETF simultaneously."Seifat also added, "Since Bitcoin and Ethereum account for about 90% of the cryptocurrency market value, BlackRock is more likely to launch a cryptocurrency index product that bundles various cryptocurrencies excluding Bitcoin and Ethereum, rather than applying for a SOL spot ETF."
