law enforcement agencies from the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada have jointly launched a multinational operation named "Operation Atlantic," focusing on combating "approval-phishing" scams targeting crypto users. The Ontario Securities Commission stated that these scams typically involve pop-ups and prompts disguised as trusted applications or services, guiding users to authorize malicious wallet permissions. Once authorized, attackers can control the wallet and transfer assets. Data shows that crypto scams generated at least approximately $14 billion in on-chain illegal income in 2025, and as more involved wallets are identified, the total scale is expected to approach $17 billion.

U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has withdrawn the civil enforcement lawsuit against BitClout founder Nader Al-Naji. According to a joint filing submitted to the court on March 12, the SEC and Al-Naji agreed to terminate the case proceedings, the case will be permanently closed, and the regulator may not file a lawsuit again on the same charges. The SEC stated that this decision is "based on the specific facts and circumstances of this case." It is reported that the SEC filed a lawsuit against Al-Naji in July 2024, accusing him of telecom fraud through the crypto social network project BitClout (later associated with the decentralized social blockchain DeSo) and selling unregistered securities. It is alleged that he raised about $257 million by selling BitClout's native token BTCLT and is suspected of using over $7 million of investors' funds for personal expenses, including leasing a Beverly Hills mansion.

on March 16, Chris Turner of ING stated that as market focus shifts to the Federal Reserve's meeting, the US dollar may continue to be supported. He wrote that there are no signs of de-escalation in the Middle East conflict, and the market seems to want to see ceasefire news before removing the risk premium supporting energy and the US dollar. Until then, market attention will focus on the central bank's response. Turner indicated that there is now a risk that US inflation will rise to 3.5% this summer instead of 2.0%, and the Federal Open Market Committee may question the market's pricing of another rate cut this year. The dot plot may also delay the median expectation of rate cuts to 2027. Investors hope to attempt to judge the peak of the US dollar only after seeing clear evidence of improvement in the conflict. The latest DXY US dollar index is reported at 100.28.
