On March 29, Dogwifhat (WIF), a memecoin headquartered in Solana, surpassed Pepe (PEPE) token to become the third-largest memetoken by market valuation. According to CoinMarketCap data, Dogwifhat’s price reached a new all-time high of $4.64 on March 30 before declining to its current $4.32 level as of 2:00 pm (UTC). Dogwifhat surpassed the Pepe token’s $3.4 billion market cap to become the third-largest memecoin, with a $4.3 billion market cap, after a weekly rise of almost 87%.As a result, WIF is now the thirty-first-largest cryptocurrency. Even though WIF has increased by more than 431% in the last month, the largest holding has not sold.According to Coinstats, the wallet currently has $139.5 million worth of WIF tokens in it, purchased at an average price of $0.32. This represents an unrealized profit of $127.3 million. On March 14, Dogwifhat’s price reached its previous high of $3 as a result of supporters raising over $700,000 to display the token’s emblem on the Las Vegas globe.WIF’s price increased by 25% as soon as the crowdfunding campaign was revealed. Arthur Hayes projected that the memecoin headquartered in Solana would rise to $10 just before it initially touched $3.In an X post from March 14, Hayes, the chief investment officer of Maelstrom and the former CEO of BitMEX, wrote. Although Dogwifhat is based on an internet meme, it is not the first dog-themed memecoin to attain multibillion-dollar valuations.In May 2021, Dogecoin’s market capitalization hit a record $75.2 billion; at present, its value stands at $30.2 billion.To reach DOGE’s market size, Dogwifhat’s price would need to rise eightfold, to $30.8 per token, which is standard for the memecoin industry.Dogecoin’s price increased by approximately 892% in the month preceding its peak, from $0.07433 on April 12, 2021, to $0.7376 on May 6, during the bull market of 2021.

After the daily close on March 29, Botcoire returned to $70,000 as traders counted down to a thrilling Q1. A preliminary BTC price support was formed into the weekend by historical all-time highs at $69,000, according to data from TradingView and Cointelegraph Markets Pro.Around $1,000 was added to Bitcoin in the later hours of the day, presumably as a result of remarks made by US Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell.At the Macroeconomics and Monetary Policy Conference in San Francisco, California, Powell gave a measured speech about inflation and the future of the economy. He emphasized that the Fed was not in a rush to lower interest rates, which is a crucial development for risky assets. “Growth is strong right now, the labor market is strong right now and inflation has been coming down,” he said. “We can and we will be careful about this decision — because we can be.” According to statistics from CME Group’s FedWatch Tool, June is presently the most likely month for the first such cut to occur, with 61% odds of a 0.25% reduction at the Federal Open Market Committee, or FOMC, meeting that month.The Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Index, which is the Fed’s favored inflation indicator, released its most recent print on March 29, which coincided with a Wall Street holiday, and met forecasts at 2.5%.

Futures for prelaunch linked to a decentralized finance systemFriday saw a sharp increase in Ethena’s upcoming governance token, ENA, suggesting a market capitalization of more than $500 million by launch.A 22.29% rise over the course of a day was realized by the ENA/USD pre-debut futures, which are offered on the decentralized exchange Aevo, and traded at 73 cents during Asian trading hours. On April 2, holders of the $1.3 billion USDe token would receive an airdrop of 750 million ENA, or 5% of the entire supply, from Ethena.Prior to April 1st, traders who unlock, unstake, or sell their USDe will not be qualified for the airdrop.Based on the specified amount of airdrops and the anticipated going market price from prelaunch futures, the token’s market capitalization might start at $547.5 million at launch.The going market price multiplied by the circulating supply yields the market cap.In the meantime, the fully diluted market value (FDV) of ENA may exceed $10 billion.To determine market value, the FDV employs total supply. The announcement by Binance of a launchpool for users to bet their BNB and FDUSD farm ENA tokens is probably what caused the double-digit spike in the ENA prelaunch futures.Users frequently use the Binance launch pool, also known as a centralized yield farming service, to invest in early-stage companies. “The @ethena_labs prelaunch market on Aevo is up 20% on the back of their Binance Launchpool announcement,” Aevo said on X. Beginning on March 30 at 0:00 UTC, ENA farming will be available in the Binance launchpool for a period of three days.On April 2, the top cryptocurrency exchange will list ENA and enable trading in pairs such as ENA/TRY, ENA/BTC, ENA/USDt, ENA/BNB, and ENA/FDUSD. Comparable to the “I owe you” or IOU futures that many exchanges provide are Aevo’s pre-listing perpetual futures. Pre-listing perpetuals use the token’s spot price as a reference once it goes online and maintain perpetuals in line with it by collecting funding rates from traders.

According to his LinkedIn page, Patrick Donegan, the global chief compliance officer and head of OKX’s anti-money laundering efforts, resigned from his position at the second-largest cryptocurrency exchange after just six months on the job. Donegan managed a team of 300 people around the world, joined OKX in August 2023 and left in January 2024, his profile states. He described himself as a regulatory specialist on AML with “skills in creating policies and procedures, meeting regulatory expectations while promoting business initiatives and establishing strong relationships with regulators.” Cryptocurrency exchanges are facing pressure to clean up their act in regards to matters such as money laundering prevention.U.S. federal prosecutors have most recently accused cryptocurrency exchange KuCoin and two of its founders of breaking anti-money laundering rules.Similar accusations were settled by US authorities against Binance, the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the world based on trading volume, in November of last year. Previously, Donegan worked for over eight years as senior vice president and chief compliance officer at the erstwhile crypto-friendly Signature Bank.

Just a few weeks ago, the Ethereum blockchain underwent a revolutionary upgrade that created a specific area for storing data, or “blobs,” with the goal of lowering fees and easing congestion.However, a new project has already emerged to congest the so-called blob sector, driving increasing fees and posing the first significant stress test for the nascent blob market. Following the creation of a new method for minting inscriptions on data blobs, or “blobscriptions,” by a project named Ethscriptions, Ethereum gas fees for blobs increased on Wednesday.The Dune Analytics dashboard indicates that on Wednesday, the blob base charge increased to a minimum of 582 gwei ($266).The blob base charge was dropped to about 18 gwei ($8.69) as of Thursday’s posting. “As widely predicted, it looks like March 27, 2024, will be remembered as the day that the ‘blobs are free EIP-4844 launch discount’ party came to a close – courtesy of Blob Inscriptions,” Matt Cutler, the CEO of Blocknative, wrote on X. The proposal that introduced the new blob market is known as EIP-4844. It was integrated into Ethereum’s historic Dencun update, which was finished on March 13.The several layer-2 networks developed on top of Ethereum, such as Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, and Coinbase’s Base, depend heavily on the blob space to execute transactions more swiftly and affordably than is feasible on the main chain.Reams of data must be parked on Ethereum by the layer 2s as part of the process, which significantly increases their overall prices. Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin admitted in a blog post on Thursday that the Blobscriptions incident had forced the new blob-fee market into “price discovery mode,” but he also noted that the data fees were still significantly lower than they would have been under the previous arrangement, which involved parking data as “calldata” in a typical Ethereum transaction. “Blobs are not free, but they remain much cheaper
