March 6th, Ethereum founder Vitalik stated, I think it is a good thing for the Ethereum community to have a more daringly open mindset, especially in terms of the application layer and how they view their position in the world. We should not compromise on core attributes: censorship resistance, openness, privacy, and security (CROPS). Especially in the application layer and Ethereum's interface with the outside world, we should be more willing to thoroughly rethink various concepts and step out of our comfort zone.Last year, we began to prioritize privacy and gave it equal weight to other types of security. This means that there will be a fundamental change in the Ethereum application stack, as so far, the entire stack has not been built around privacy. Well, let's build a completely different Ethereum application stack.This year's example is rethinking the role of L2 from scratch and which types of L2 can truly have the greatest synergy and benefit with Ethereum. This also includes cultural factors. For me and others, this is an important part of the "milady" concept. Write down your "dignified" inherent concept, crumple it up, and burn it. This psychological baptism will bring about an intellectual baptism, inspiring greater creativity and expanding horizons.For a long time, our algorithm on Ethereum has been: we have an existing ecosystem, what is the next step to make it better? Now, our algorithm should be: we have a fantastic L1 layer, and it will become even better; we have more and more tools, including tools developed inside and outside the ecosystem; based on our current knowledge, what is the most valuable? If you were to write the section on applications from the 2014 Ethereum whitepaper, starting from first principles in areas such as DeFi, decentralized social, and identity, what would you write? At the very least, please exclude all path dependency issues first, assume that the Ethereum chain is currently not in use at all, and you are the first to propose or build the initial applications, and see what you would ultimately write. Even if you are currently building existing applications, please do this. This is the secret to Ethereum's reinvigoration.

March 6, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong stated that cross-border payments should be instant and not heavily eroded by fees — that's the value of Base and the crypto rails.

March 6th — BlackRock CEO Larry Fink stated that the financial services industry has a significant number of intermediaries, lengthy settlement cycles, and cumbersome processes. If it were possible to digitize every type of asset and achieve seamless movement from cash or stablecoins in a digital wallet to stocks or bonds, this would dramatically reduce friction costs and transaction costs. There is currently $4.1 trillion in funds in global digital wallets. If individuals want to invest in bonds, stocks, or conduct real estate transactions, they must transfer funds from a digital wallet to a traditional wallet, involving various commissions and fees.The concept of tokenizing all assets, including ultimately real estate, is to significantly reduce these friction costs, making investment easier and simpler. It will enable a more freely flowing investment process.

March 2nd. Due to the Middle East war driving up oil prices and sparking inflation concerns, the currency market on Monday scaled back bets on rate cuts in the U.S., UK, and Eurozone. The possibility of the Fed cutting rates three times in 2026 has dropped from nearly 50% last week to 20%. Traders no longer anticipate the Bank of England cutting rates three times this year and have reduced the probability of a rate cut in March from over 80% to 60%. The probability of a rate cut by the ECB this year has halved, pricing in only a 5-basis-point rate cut. The yield rise of two-year government bonds, most sensitive to monetary policy changes, in the U.S., UK, and Germany has outpaced long-term yields. Driven by the largest surge in Brent crude oil prices in four years, inflation indicators have surged significantly.Laura Cooper, Global Investment Strategist and Head of Macro Credit at Nuveen Investments, said: "The ongoing rise in oil prices will have a significant pass-through effect on the global economic and inflation path. A more prolonged energy pulse could complicate the disinflation process and delay further rate cuts." (FXStreet)
