Over the past month, the cryptocurrency market has faced a downturn due to multiple factors. Global macroeconomic uncertainties, such as shifts in U.S. economic policies and the impact of tariffs, have heightened market anxiety. Meanwhile, the recent White House crypto summit failed to deliver any significant positive news for the crypto market, further dampening investor confidence. Additionally, fluctuations in market sentiment have led to capital outflows, exacerbating price declines. In this volatile environment, selecting stable and secure passive-income products is more crucial than ever. Bitget offers solutions that not only provide high-yield fixed-term products but also flexible options for users who need liquidity. Furthermore, with the added security of the Protection Fund, investors can earn steady returns even amidst market volatility.

Over the past few weeks, BTC has repeatedly tested the $100,000 resistance level, briefly breaking through multiple times before failing to hold, resulting in sharp declines Altcoins have entered a technical bear market, though SOL has shown resilience during both downturns and rebounds. However, the trading frenzy surrounding Solana-based memecoins has cooled, while discussions of institutional unlocking have gained traction on social media. On the night of March 2, Trump announced plans to establish a strategic crypto reserve, explicitly mentioning BTC, ETH, XRP, SOL, and ADA. This statement briefly reignited market sentiment amid oversold conditions, triggering a sharp crypto rebound. However, macroeconomic conditions remain largely unchanged, and liquidity recovery is a gradual process. The rally sparked by Trump's comments quickly faded, suggesting the market may still face further downsides. The following recommendations highlight projects worth monitoring in the current cycle, though they may not yet have reached an optimal entry point.

The recent decline in the crypto industry stems from several key factors. First, volatility in the macroeconomic environment—such as the sharp drop in US stocks and global market uncertainty—has weighed heavily on high-risk assets like Bitcoin. Second, an increase in hacker attacks, including a $1.5 billion cryptocurrency theft on February 22, triggered panic and led to over 170,000 liquidations. Third, rising regulatory pressure, such as the SEC’s increased scrutiny of cryptocurrencies in the US and restrictions on trading and mining in some countries, has further undermined investor confidence. Additionally, the market is in a consolidation phase, with many funds buying the dip in the short term but quickly exiting as risk appetite declines. Finally, Bitcoin's failure to break through key resistance levels has led to weak demand and network activity, while ETF outflows have exacerbated the downward pressure. These combined factors have created short-term strain on the crypto market, contributing to its decline. As a result, this edition focuses on Earn-related products.

Recently, BTC has weakened, altcoins have declined across the board, and trading volume on the Solana blockchain has continued to shrink. Daily transaction volume on Solana has hit new yearly lows, with over $200 million in sell-offs on pump.fun in just over two months since the start of the year. Additionally, the hype surrounding Argentina's president-related memecoin last weekend drained additional liquidity from the Solana network. Adding to investor concerns, a large amount of SOL is set to be unlocked on March 1, exacerbating deteriorating sentiment and leading to a noticeable decline in market wealth effects. Against this backdrop, investors are advised to reduce leverage, manage risk, and reserve funds for potential dip-buying opportunities. This edition highlights several USDT-based, SOL-based, and BTC-based Earn products, offering investors a diverse range of investment options.

Currently, the two main drivers of liquidity into the crypto market are ETF net inflows and new stablecoin issuances. Recently, several U.S. financial giants have applied to launch spot ETFs for assets such as XRP and LTC. If approved, these ETFs could present a significant opportunity for both the assets and the broader crypto market. Investors may consider positioning themselves early, particularly during market downturns, to capitalize on potential bullish catalysts.

The Solana ecosystem stands to gain significantly from Trump's token launch. Celebrity involvement often generates substantial attention, attracting new users to the Solana blockchain and boosting on-chain trading volume. Furthermore, Trump's influence may encourage increased investment and attract developers, fostering greater diversity and innovation within the ecosystem. However, the sustainability of celebrity influence is uncertain and hinges on market confidence and the regulatory environment. In the long term, ecosystem projects on the Solana chain are well-positioned to be the ultimate beneficiaries, making them worthy of investor attention.

The U.S. 10-Year Treasury yield has been rising recently, with the U.S. Dollar Index surpassing the 110 mark. The upcoming release of CPI data and the uncertainty surrounding Trump's inauguration next week could further heighten market volatility. Risk aversion is evident in the market, as global risk assets have shown sluggish performance. In this environment of tense market sentiment and impending macroeconomic data releases, we recommend that investors reduce leverage, manage risks carefully, and set aside funds for potential buying opportunities. This edition highlights some of Bitget's token launch promotions and on-chain Earn products based on USDT/USDC, BTC, and SOL, offering investors a wider range of options.

As the new year begins, Solana is leading the market's altcoin rebound, with SOL's price serving as a "leading indicator" for the broader market. Pump.fun, the most prominent project in the Solana ecosystem, generates daily revenue of approximately 15,000 SOL (around $3.3 million), equating to nearly $100 million in monthly revenue. According to the ETF Store President and Bernstein Research analysts, spot Solana ETFs are expected to debut in the U.S. capital markets by the end of 2025, sparking high market expectations for Solana's performance that year.

As 2024 came to a close, premier investment banks and institutions worldwide unveiled their strategic outlooks for 2025. A recurring theme across reports from BlackRock, Barclays, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, and others is the frequent mention of one term: "AI." Investors seem to be aligning on the transformative potential of artificial intelligence, drawing parallels to the early days of the internet two or three decades ago. This article highlights and recommends several promising AI agent projects. While the mid-to-long-term outlook for AI agents is positive, the recent surge in valuations underscores the need for thorough research (DYOR) when timing investments.

AI agents are rapidly evolving toward greater autonomy and intelligence. Once considered mere tools, they have now transformed into intelligent entities capable of independently executing complex tasks. A collaborative ecosystem is emerging, enabling multiple AI agents to work together—not just as assistants, but as decision-makers and operators in challenging environments. Technological advancements, such as improved tool integration and personalized memory capabilities, empower AI agents to perform tasks with greater precision and adaptability. AI agents are making waves in industries like finance, healthcare, and education, offering highly personalized services. As the technology matures, anticipation continues to grow for its implementation in businesses and B2B solutions, with 2025 poised to be a pivotal year for growth and adoption.
- 17:44Institutional: Gold prices remain stable as investors await Fed resolutionGold prices were essentially flat on Wednesday, having touched record highs earlier, as investors waited for the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision to be announced later today, with safe-haven demand continuing. Bart Melek, head of commodities strategy at TD Securities, said, ‘There are concerns that tariffs could trigger inflation, and the market consensus is that the Fed could start easing policy around the middle of the year, despite price increases due to U.S. tariffs.’ Melek said, ‘I expect the gold price to remain roughly at current levels, up and down around $25.’
- 17:43Institutional: U.S. stock indexes move higher ahead of Fed resolution, but near-term trend could remain subduedThe Federal Reserve will announce its interest rate resolution later, and the market widely expects it to stay put, with major Wall Street stock indexes moving higher ahead of the resolution. For now, people are still worried about trade policy and its impact on the economy. Traders expect the Fed to cut rates at least twice by 25 basis points by December, with the first expected in July. The focus will be on policymakers' new economic forecasts, which will give an idea of how they feel President Donald Trump's policies will affect economic growth, inflation and unemployment. “We see an increasing likelihood of a weaker jobs report in the coming months,” said Chris Senyek, chief investment strategist at Wolfe Research that could ultimately lead to a rate cut by the Fed at its June meeting. Coupled with the highly uncertain path of tariffs, we conclude that the near-term trend for stocks will remain lower.’
- 17:37NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang: Tariffs will have little impact in the short termMetaEra News, 19 Mar (UTC+8) - NVIDIA (NVDA.O) CEO Jen-Hsun Huang downplayed the negative impact of Trump's tariffs, saying there won't be any significant losses in the short term. In an interview, Jen-Hsun Huang said, ‘We have a lot of AI to build. AI is the foundation, the operating system for the future of every industry. Partners are working with us to bring manufacturing to the US. The impact of the tariffs will not be significant in the short term.’
