Financial Layer-1 blockchain Pharos Network today announced USDC and Circle Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP) will deploy on Pharos Mainnet, The Pacific Ocean, bringing widely-used stablecoin settlement and seamless cross-chain capital mobility to the network. The integration marks a significant step in Pharos’ mission to build an inclusive global settlement layer for RealFi.
The addition of USDC introduces an institutional-grade stablecoin to the Pharos ecosystem. As a transparent fully-reserved dollar-denominated stablecoin, USDC will serve as a core settlement and collateral asset across tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), DeFi trading and lending, and global payment flows. At the same time, CCTP establishes native cross-chain connectivity between Pharos and more than 20 supported blockchains, enabling over 400 secure transaction routes. By eliminating reliance on third-party bridges or wrapped assets, CCTP helps support both asset integrity and capital efficiency across supported networks.
With USDC settlement integrated at the protocol level, developers will be able to build lending markets, structured financial products, and always-on global payment networks on Pharos. Institutional capital can access onchain RWA markets within compliance-oriented infrastructure, while users worldwide gain broader access to real-world financial opportunities.
The integration of USDC and CCTP can unlock a wide range of financial applications across the Pharos ecosystem. In tokenized financial markets, USDC on Pharos can function as the primary settlement and collateral asset for instruments such as tokenized treasuries, private credit, and commodities, while also providing liquidity for DeFi trading and lending. Beyond trading activity, merchants and payment service providers can rely on USDC for efficient settlement, supported by transparent reserves and redemption infrastructure. At the same time, CCTP will enable seamless USDC transfers between Pharos and other supported blockchains, allowing capital to move freely across ecosystems while supporting more efficient liquidity management and cross-chain distribution of tokenized real-world assets.
Wish Wu of the Pharos Foundation said: "RealFi requires both trusted settlement and global accessibility. The integration of USDC and CCTP can bring institutional-grade reliability to Pharos while making that reliability accessible to developers and users worldwide. Our vision has always been to build truly inclusive infrastructure capable of supporting real-world financial markets."
Following the deployment of USDC and CCTP, Pharos will be fully open to developers, financial institutions, and enterprises seeking compliant, stable, and high-performance infrastructure for real-world financial applications. To further accelerate ecosystem growth, Pharos has also launched a $10 million ecosystem incubator program to support developers building native-to-Pharos applications. 
By providing USDC and CCTP for secure cross-chain capital mobility, Pharos is building the infrastructure layer for RealFi where institutional-grade assets can circulate onchain while remaining accessible to global participants, moving closer to making real-world finance open, transparent, and inclusive.

Accessing decentralized perpetuals has often required managing multiple DEX websites, wallets, and networks. Genius, a multi‑chain trading terminal, now lets users trade across markets, including the newly launched Aster Chain, a next‑generation perp DEX.
Today, Genius and Aster announced a strategic partnership that will allow users to access the power of Aster, while keeping the familiar, streamlined experience of trading through a unified terminal. The agreement makes Genius a key distribution partner for the launch of Aster Chain.
With the partnership, Genius receives preferential terms that enable it to pass savings directly to its community. As a result, traders using Genius will pay less to access Aster’s deep liquidity than they would by going to Aster directly.
Traders don’t want to manage a dozen different DEXs,” said Armaan Kalsi, CEO of Genius. “They want one place to execute, and they want the best price. This partnership—especially around Aster Chain, lets us deliver both: a simpler experience, and better rates on one of the leading perp platforms.”
The partnership highlights a growing trend in DeFi: as trading terminals aggregate volume across chains, they gain the ability to negotiate better economics and pass those benefits to users. Genius, which launched five weeks ago, has already processed over $60 million in volume across 10+ blockchains including BNB Chain, Solana, and Ethereum.
Aster’s “Aster Code” program is designed to reward high‑impact partners with the launch of Aster Chain. Genius is among the first selected, and the collaboration will play a central role in driving adoption of the upgraded exchange.
“We built Aster Code to reward partners who bring real value,” said Leonard, Aster CEO. “Genius has shown they can drive quality volume while making trading easier—that’s exactly the kind of partner we want for Aster.”
For traders, the bottom line is straightforward: accessing Aster’s perp markets through Genius now costs less and requires fewer steps than going direct, with the full experience of Aster Chain available through the terminal at launch.
Additional details on the integrated experience will be announced in the coming weeks.
About Genius
Genius is a unified on‑chain trading terminal with over $15B in spot volume that gives users access to spot, perp, and copy trading across 10+ blockchains. Backed by YZi Labs, Genius is building the final private interface for DeFi; where execution is fast, chains are invisible, and traders keep full custody.
About Aster
Aster is a privacy-first onchain trading platform backed by YZi Labs, with unique features like Hidden Orders to protect user trading activity. It offers perpetual contracts across crypto, stocks and commodities, as well as crypto spot trading, and is powered by Aster Chain, a Layer 1 blockchain built to power the future of decentralized finance.

Canada’s Liberal government introduced Bill C-25, the Strong and Free Elections Act, on March 26, which would prohibit cryptocurrency, money order and prepaid card donations across the federal political system.The bill follows years of warnings from the country’s Chief Electoral Officer and comes one day after the U.K. announced a moratorium on crypto donations to political parties.No major Canadian federal party has ever publicly accepted crypto contributions, and no crypto donations were disclosed in either the 2021 or 2025 federal elections.Canada's federal government has proposed legislation that would ban cryptocurrency donations to political parties, candidates and third-party election advertisers, closing a fundraising channel that has seen virtually no use since it was first permitted in 2019.
Bill C-25, the Strong and Free Elections Act, was introduced on March 26 by Government House Leader Steven MacKinnon. The bill groups crypto alongside money orders and prepaid cards as payment methods that are difficult to trace, and would prohibit all three across the federal political system.
The ban would cover registered parties, riding associations, candidates, leadership and nomination contestants, and third parties engaged in election advertising.
"These targeted priority amendments address recommendations from the public inquiry into foreign interference in federal electoral process and democratic institutions, and also from the chief electoral officer and the commissioner of Canada elections," MacKinnon said. 
Canada first allowed crypto donations in 2019 under an administrative framework that classified them as non-monetary contributions, similar to property. But no major party ever publicly accepted them, and no contributions were disclosed in either the 2021 or 2025 elections. Under the 2019 rules, crypto contributions were not eligible for tax receipts, a significant disincentive in a system where donors routinely claim credits.
The country's Chief Electoral Officer, Stéphane Perrault, initially favored tighter regulation rather than an outright ban. In a June 2022 post-election report, Perrault's office recommended that all crypto contributions be receipted and reported regardless of value, closing a provision that assigned nil value to contributions of CAD $200 or less from non-professional sellers and effectively exempted small crypto donations from the regulated financing regime.
By November 2024, that position had shifted to a call for full prohibition, on the grounds that crypto's pseudonymity makes contributor identification "fundamentally difficult," according to CBC.
Bill C-25 is the second attempt to enact the ban. Its predecessor, Bill C-65, contained identical provisions but died when Parliament was prorogued in January 2025. The new bill has completed its first reading and still faces multiple readings, committee review, Senate passage and royal assent before becoming law.
Steep penalties
Recipients of crypto donations made in violation of the ban would have 30 days to return, destroy, or convert and remit the funds to the Receiver General. Administrative penalties would reach up to twice the value of the contribution.

Maximum fines would also increase sharply under the broader bill. Individual penalties would rise from CAD $1,500 to CAD $25,000, and organizational fines from CAD $5,000 to CAD $100,000, per the bill's language. 
U.K. parallel
The timing is notable. Canada introduced Bill C-25 just one day after U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced a moratorium on crypto donations to British political parties, citing risks around illicit finance and foreign interference.
Starmer's announcement followed weeks of escalating pressure. A cross-party parliamentary committee had urged an immediate ban on crypto political donations in mid-March, calling them an "unacceptably high risk." In January, seven Labour committee chairs called on the government to include a crypto donation ban in the forthcoming Elections Bill.
Both countries frame the bans as defensive measures against foreign interference rather than responses to documented abuse.
U.S. divergence
The coordinated moves by Canada and the U.K. sharpen a growing split with the United States, where the Federal Election Commission has permitted crypto donations since a 2014 advisory opinion and crypto-backed super PACs have become a major force in American politics.
The crypto industry spent more than $190 million during the 2024 U.S. election cycle through vehicles like Fairshake, which became the largest super PAC of the cycle with over $200 million raised. No federal ban on crypto donations exists in the U.S., though several individual states have restricted or prohibited them.

Lido’s ecosystem operations team has proposed spending up to 10,000 stETH (roughly $20 million) from the DAO treasury to buy LDO tokens at what it calls a historically depressed valuation.At current prices, the buyback could absorb around 8% of LDO’s circulating supply.The proposal is separate from Lido’s still-pending NEST automated buyback program, which has not activated under present market conditions.LDO hit a new all-time low of $0.27 on Mar. 7, and currently trades near $0.31. Ethereum's largest liquid staking protocol is looking to deploy a significant chunk of its treasury to buy back its own governance token.A governance proposal posted Friday by the Lido Ecosystem Operations team seeks authorization for the Lido Growth Committee to spend up to 10,000 stETH from the DAO treasury to accumulate the protocol's native LDO token. At current ether prices of roughly $2,000, that amounts to approximately $20 million.The LDO-to-ETH ratio currently sits at around 0.00016, which the proposal describes as a 70% discount to levels that characterized most of the prior two years. The token recently set a new all-time low near $0.27 on Mar. 7 and currently trades near $0.31, per The Block's Lido Price page, with a market capitalization of roughly $260 million. At current prices, the buyback could absorb roughly 65 million tokens, or about 8% of the circulating supply."This is not a routine fluctuation," the proposal reads. "It represents one of the most significant dislocations between LDO's market price and its underlying protocol fundamentals in the token's history."The proposal is explicitly framed as a one-off, distinct from Lido's separate NEST automated buyback proposal introduced in Nov. 2025. NEST would create an ongoing mechanism deploying LDO and wstETH into a Uniswap v2-style liquidity pool, but it is designed to activate only when ETH trades above $3,000 and Lido's annualized revenue exceeds $40 million. Lido posted total revenue of $40.5 million for all of 2025, a 23% decline year-over-year, as The Block reported last week. The NEST program, set to be formalized in Q2 2026, would also cap annual spending at $10 million. The one-off proposal is effectively a way to move faster and at double the scale while LDO trades at what the DAO views as a bargain.On-chain LDO liquidity is thin, with only around $90,000 of depth at plus-or-minus 2%, per the proposal. The Growth Committee would execute in 1,000 stETH batches across on-chain venues like CoW Swap and Uniswap as well as centralized exchanges including Binance and OKX, which each offered more than $100,000 in depth. The proposal also permits the committee to engage market-maker partners on the Lido Ecosystem Foundation's behalf.Lido's case is that the price decline has outpaced the actual deterioration in protocol performance. Net protocol rewards fell roughly 20% over the same period the LDO:ETH ratio dropped about 50%. Costs improved 13% year-over-year and the effective take rate rose from 5% to 6.11%.Lido remains the largest staking protocol on Ethereum with 23% market share, per its February 2026 tokenholder update. 

Alright, brothers, sisters, and crypto degens! Today we’re diving into Gunzilla ($GUN). This is the coin that claims, "I’m not just a token; I’m the daddy of AAA gaming!" But will it actually turn into Godzilla and devour the market, or will it "fizzle out" by the end of March? Let’s get into some "no-holds-barred" analysis.

✅ The Positive Side (The "Full Attitude" Part)
The Power of Off The Grid (OTG): Their game, Off The Grid, is legit. We aren't talking about boring pixels here; it’s a high-end AAA shooter running on PC, PS5, and Xbox.The Solana Entry: They recently shook hands with Solana. Now, both speed and liquidity are shining like a brand-new Rolex.Real Utility: This token isn't just for show. In the game, you need $GUN to unlock NFT loot boxes (HEXes), trade items, and pay gas fees. It’s the actual fuel.The Heavy Hitters: It started via Binance Launchpool, which means the "Big Machine" is backing this project.
❌ The Negative Side (The "Fear Factor")
The Unlock Threat (⚠️ Major News): Brother, there is a massive Token Unlock coming on March 31, 2026 (roughly 354M tokens). When that many tokens hit the market at once, the line of sellers could be long. It’s like a "Flash Sale" where everyone rushes to dump at the same time.The Gaming Slump: The gaming crypto sector has been a bit chilly throughout 2025. If the sector doesn't heat up, how long can $GUN maintain its "swagger" on its own?Volatility: The chart goes up and down so fast it’ll make your heart do "dhak-dhak."
📊 Technical Analysis (My Style)
Currently, the price is hovering between $0.017 and $0.019.
RSI (Relative Strength Index): We are in the neutral zone. Not too hot, not too cold.Moving Averages: The 200-day moving average is sitting above the current price, acting as a bit of a "Resistance" (the ceiling we need to break).
🚀 Entry & Exit (The Trading Plan)
The "Safe" Entry: If you're playing it cool (like me), wait for the March 31 unlock. When the supply hits and the price takes a "dip"—maybe around the $0.012 - $0.014 zone—that’s your moment to look for an entry.The "Risky" Entry: If you think the market has already "priced-in" the unlock, you can take a small entry now and just HODL.
2. Exit (When to run?):
Short-Term Target: $0.022 - $0.025. Take some profit here and pay off that Rolex installment!Long-Term Target: If Off The Grid becomes a global hit and lands on Steam, $0.05+ is possible. But that requires patience—something crypto traders usually lack!
⚡ Final Verdict
$GUN is a solid project, but the March 31 unlock is a massive "Speed Breaker." If we survive that, the road ahead is clear.
So, what's the move? Are you putting $GUN in your portfolio, or just watching from a distance and saying "Salam"?

$BTC I’ve noticed a recurring pattern in the markets: they react with aggressive speed, yet the decisions that actually move capital feel remarkably slow. They are layered, quiet, and often invisible. We see a funding round announced and price moves; a policy gets approved and narratives shift. But the decision itself—the moment of agreement, the signatories, the specific conditions met—usually remains hidden.
This gap has always felt significant. It’s not that information is missing; it’s that the structure of decision-making isn’t designed to be observed. We track transactions and ownership with precision, but decisions are treated as internal events that only surface later as outcomes.
This is where Sign introduces a fundamental shift.
From Identity to "Verifiable Memory"
Instead of merely focusing on asset movement or identity layers, Sign leans into something more foundational: Attestations. An attestation is a structured claim that can be verified later. While it sounds simple, its implications for approval decisions, eligibility checks, and compliance confirmations are profound. These are the "behind-the-scenes" events that quietly shape every market outcome.
It feels less like a credential layer and more like a System of Memory—a way to remember what actually happened so that others can verify it without needing absolute trust in the source.
Making the Process Verifiable
Consider a government-backed investment program. Before capital is deployed, there are internal committees, compliance reviews, and filters. Externally, we only see the final result: "Capital deployed." The path remains a black box.
If those steps were turned into attestations, the path itself becomes visible. It’s a different kind of transparency—one that doesn't force full data disclosure but makes the process verifiable. Decisions stop being temporary internal events and become persistent objects that can be referenced and reused across systems.
The Shift in Market Signaling
The market is accustomed to reacting to "late signals"—price spikes, volume surges, or formal announcements. If the decisions behind these events become visible earlier (even in a limited way), it changes the timeline of market understanding. It’s not necessarily "faster," just significantly less delayed.
However, most trading behavior is built on speed and immediate clarity. This system introduces something slower and more layered. It requires interpretation, and interpretation takes time—especially when the signal isn't loud.
The Infrastructure Play
The role of the $SIGN token depends on how deeply this system becomes embedded. Much like critical infrastructure in the Middle East—where large-scale capital programs require proving decisions without exposing sensitive data—the ability to move "Proof" instead of "Data" is becoming a requirement, not a feature.
Sign sits in that quiet space. It isn't trying to replace existing systems; it’s adding a layer where decisions leave a verifiable trace. This isn't the kind of development that shows up on a chart immediately; it builds slowly and structurally.
The Conclusion
If decisions become verifiable before they turn into market events, the real signal shifts much earlier in the timeline. Early signals are harder to read—they don't come with clear narratives or immediate hype. But over time, the market may start paying more attention to how decisions are formed rather than just what they produce.
When that happens, our understanding of market timing and information flow will have to adjust. We’ll realize that the most important part of the move was happening a lot earlier than we thought.
