March 2025 Community Updates

GM fam,

Crypto market cap ate a punch in March — $3.6T down to $2.8T, turbulence hitting hard. Tariffs got axed, China’s AI boom stole the show, and capital’s moving away from risky assets like crypto. Stock market correlation’s tightening the screws, but Strategy’s still stacking — over 500k BTC locked in. And GameStop? Added $1.3B on Bitcoin. Corporate adoption’s alive and kicking.

Things got real with Bybit — $1.46B hacked, biggest ever. Security vibes? Rattled. Memecoin fever broke too—trading volume tanked $106B, Solana’s bleeding $485M in outflows as the hype fizzled. Flip side? Trump’s pro-crypto wave’s still humming — SEC backing off Kraken and Yuga Labs is a big win, and stablecoins flexed to a $220B all time high.

Market’s on pause, sniffing for the next spark. ETF approvals? Macro juice? We’re yet to find out. Bitcoin’s hovering at mid-$80K — sentiment’s screaming consolidation, but that breakout’s lurking.

Events & Supporting Partner

We’re hyped to have a supporting partner at the Wiki Finance Expo Hong Kong 2025. Justin Sun flexes Tron’s gig as TradFi plumbing while he’s advising World Liberty Finance and teaming up with TRM Labs and Tether to smack down financial crime.

Then you’ve got Chinese pioneers grinding out projects for digital assets. The floor was buzzing — AI trading certainly stole the show with DeepSeek and Manus dishing real-time market heat and auto-strats. It’s only been a small glimpse of the full potential of what these AI tools can do, and we’re super stoked!

Cross-border payment and smart contracts for enterprise? We’re excited to vibe with early-stage projects building to bridge TradFi and DeFi — after all, trust’s the name of the game.

Why do we hit these? Straight-from-the-source alpha—industry moves, real builders, unfiltered. As a Foundation, we’re part of the startup hustle — Wiki Expo’s a front-row seat to homegrown gems and the China fintech ecosystem pulse.

Brewing partnerships

We caught some side quests too—linked up with Atomicals Protocol community leads. Following our previous analysis on ARC-20 and your overwhelming interest, we’re going deeper on this exploration. Something is cooking but we can’t spill yet.

More AI x Crypto use case

One of the sessions, “Transforming Global Finance: AI-Driven Trading” - there was a discussion on Algo’s blending AI with education—teaching traders and students to flex AI for TA. Synergises with Notifs App’s vibes—same goal: leveraging AI for actionable insights, no fluff. Stripping out complexity is one thing, making you an expert is the next level.

Stablecoins are primed for a positive growth

Stablecoins? Primed to moon. Devere Bryan from First Digital called ‘em the “Super App of crypto”—spot on. 2025’s looking optimistic—businesses and institutions jumping in, regs like MiCA clearing the fog, and TradFi eating it up. Fast, cheap, cross-border wins—stablecoins are that glue. We’ve seen the chatter everywhere, from Consensus to WikiExpo. Stick with us for the big updates.
