March 2nd, as the Middle East conflict boosted oil prices and stoked inflation concerns, the currency markets in the US, UK, and Eurozone scaled back bets on rate cuts.According to swaps tied to policy meeting dates, the likelihood of the Fed cutting rates three times in 2026 dropped from nearly 50% last week to 20%. Traders no longer expect the Bank of England to cut rates three times this year, reducing the probability of a March rate cut from over 80% to 60%. They have also halved the odds of the ECB cutting rates this year, pricing in only 5 basis points.

March 2nd. According to a CoinShares report, digital asset products saw $1 billion in inflows last week, ending a five-week streak of $4 billion in outflows. Market sentiment was influenced by price weakness, technical reset, and whale accumulation support.From a macro perspective, it is difficult to attribute the sentiment shift to a single catalyst. However, previous price weakness, breaking through key technical levels, and large Bitcoin holders accumulating again seem to have contributed to this reversal. At a more specific level, recent client discussions have almost entirely focused on finding entry points rather than reducing exposure to this asset class.Bitcoin was the main beneficiary, recording $881 million in inflows, although Bitcoin bear products saw $3.7 million in inflows, highlighting ongoing market divergence in views.Ethereum also saw $117 million in inflows, the largest since mid-January. Ethereum and Bitcoin remain in a net outflow position year-to-date. Solana saw $53.8 million in inflows last week, bringing the year-to-date total to $156 million. Chainlink saw $3.4 million in small inflows with no significant outflows.

February 27th, according to official sources, Upbit will delist Nomina (NOM) on March 30th at 14:00.After a comprehensive evaluation, Upbit has confirmed that NOM has many shortcomings in various aspects and may cause user losses, including failure to fully disclose important matters according to best practices for virtual asset trading support; lack of necessary change procedures; insufficient transparency and reasonableness of the change process; unclear use, purpose, or function of the virtual asset; and doubt about the authenticity and sustainability of related business.

February 27th, Crypto market research firm Santiment posted on social media that Bitcoin is about to reach a milestone — the number of addresses holding at least 100 BTC is about to surpass 20,000. A wallet holding 100 BTC or more is currently valued at a minimum of $6.78 million, and these wallets are apparently mostly held by high-net-worth individuals, funds, long-term holders, or institutions.When this number continues to rise during a price decline or afterward (as recently observed), it can be seen as a bullish signal. However, the percentage of total supply held by key stakeholders has not shown significant growth, which is also why the price remains under pressure.If the number of 100+ BTC addresses is growing, it means more large holders are diversifying their holdings rather than a small group controlling everything. In this sense, it indicates a reduction in concentration at the top.However, this also indicates that wealth is shifting towards strong hands compared to small retail wallets. Therefore, this is not a signal of decentralization at the most granular level, but it does indicate that more independent entities are entering the "whale" ranks. Historically, the growth in whale addresses has often occurred during accumulation phases, followed by supporting price rebounds.The growth in the number of wallets needs to match the growth in total supply, while retail investors gradually sell tokens to large wallets. History has shown that retail traders will eventually panic sell or take profits too early, allowing this phase to occur.

February 27th, Flow Protocol launched its first Agent-driven token auction early this morning, attracting over $100,000 in bidding funds in just 9 minutes and ultimately accepting a bid of approximately $79,732.The auction was built on the Uniswap CCA (Continuous Clearing Auction) architecture, designed specifically for AI Agents, allowing only AI Agents to participate in bidding, price discovery, and token issuance. After the auction, the raised funds were automatically matched with FLOWS and injected into the Uniswap V4 liquidity pool, using the auction's "clearing price" as the starting price. FLOW became instantly tradable, becoming the first "Agentic Capital Markets" template project on Base.This mechanism upgrades the traditional Launchpad to be AI-native, where humans can enable Agents to participate automatically through building "skills," achieving decentralized, anti-sniping price discovery.

February 27th: According to official sources, the Base Protocol's City Protocol, an attention infrastructure protocol, has officially launched the Virality Leaderboard. This leaderboard utilizes AI to dynamically assess Mindshare and distribute rewards. The initial $20,000 equivalent CP reward pool is now open.It is worth noting that the leaderboard is architecturally designed as an open reward distribution layer. Any project in the Base ecosystem can integrate its own tokens and airdrop budget into the leaderboard. This means that early rankings and Mindshare records may continuously capture rewards from multiple projects.The current points acquisition efficiency may be at an all-time high. Users can enter the leaderboard by completing a 3-step task on the City Rewards page within the Base App.
