On March 23rd, on-chain detective ZachXBT revealed a coordinated network of at least 10 accounts that has been generating traffic on the social platform X by creating panic-inducing content related to war and other topics, ultimately directing users to cryptocurrency scam projects. The network acquired accounts with existing follower bases, frequently posted sensational "doomsday" content, and amplified its reach through mutual retweets among multiple smaller accounts, rapidly gaining millions of views and significant engagement. Investigations indicate that these accounts also utilized AI-generated fake personas, such as a fabricated "Asian version of Mario Nawfal," to enhance credibility. After accumulating traffic, the associated accounts promoted fake airdrop events or crypto project scams, including the concentrated promotion of a pump-and-dump project named ORAMAMA on February 22, 2026, after which it was no longer mentioned. On-chain data suggests this operation has generated six-figure profits for the team behind it. Concurrently, numerous legitimate large accounts inadvertently participated in the interaction through comments and retweets, further amplifying the content's reach. ZachXBT warned that this combination of "traffic farms + AI content + crypto scams" has become highly sophisticated and easily replicable. If similar mechanisms are exploited by higher-level organizations, their potential impact could extend far beyond financial fraud, possibly evolving into tools for public opinion manipulation. ZachXBT urged platforms to strengthen regulation and implement bans and legal accountability for such manipulative behaviors. Users are also advised to carefully verify account history and information sources before engaging to counter the increasingly prevalent phenomenon of fake content and "engagement bait."

According to monitoring by PolyBeats, four smart money accounts have collectively invested $54,000 on the prediction market Polymarket, buying 'no' on the question of whether the US and Iran will reach a ceasefire before April 15. Currently, the probability of 'yes' stands at 31%. Despite both sides outlining their ceasefire conditions, analysts generally believe the likelihood of mutual compromise is very low. Iran is currently displaying a hardline stance with no retreat, while Trump faces a severe domestic political countdown. With the US midterm election primaries set to begin in May, Trump's approval ratings have been declining since the outbreak of this military conflict. As expectations for a ceasefire dim, preparations for a prolonged conflict are substantively advancing. The US government is actively seeking additional special military funding from Congress to maintain its high military deployment and combat expenses in the Middle East. Secretary of State Rubio emphasized the need to strategically curb the opponent's threat capabilities, while Defense Secretary Hegseth reiterated the determination of the US military to maintain military pressure. Treasury Secretary Bessent continues to push for extreme sanctions aimed at cutting off Iran's core funding chain. Note: Based on past trading patterns, it appears that the trader is not betting on whether the event will actually occur, but rather engaging in profit-taking or loss-cutting actions at certain points after opening positions.

According to monitoring by 1M AI News, Jonathan Ross, founder and former CEO of AI inference chip company Groq, recounted the behind-the-scenes process of Nvidia's $20 billion deal. He initially entered Jensen Huang's office to procure about 100,000 Blackwell GPU chips. He pitched an idea to Huang: AI data centers should not use the same hardware for all tasks; training, like bulk freight, requires '18-wheel trucks' (GPUs), while inference is better suited for flexible and efficient 'vans' (Groq's LPU chips). Three days later, Huang proactively called back, not to discuss the order, but to promote deeper collaboration. On Christmas Eve, three weeks later, the deal was finalized. Nvidia obtained licensing for Groq's chip technology, and Ross along with other core employees joined Nvidia, with Ross taking on the role of Chief Software Architect. At the time of the deal, Groq's annual revenue was just under $100 million, with only $3 million in revenue for 2023 and a loss of $88 million. At the GTC 2026 conference, Huang announced the Groq 3 LPU inference chip based on Groq technology and the Groq 3 LPX rack containing 256 LPUs, which has entered full production and is expected to start deliveries this summer. Ross stated, 'This is on the scale of Nvidia, not a pilot.' This marks Nvidia's shift from a single GPU dominance to a full-stack 'AI factory' solution encompassing CPUs and LPUs. The deal has also drawn the attention of the U.S. government. Democratic Senators Elizabeth Warren and Richard Blumenthal questioned whether the agreement was 'structured to evade antitrust scrutiny' and jointly wrote to Huang requesting more disclosure on the terms. Nvidia responded that it did not acquire Groq, but only purchased a non-exclusive license for the intellectual property and hired talent.

March 23rd News: Goldman Sachs' oil team stated that the unprecedented scale of the oil supply shock is likely to prompt a re-evaluation of energy risk issues. "We expect policymakers to rebuild higher strategic reserve levels once the Strait of Hormuz reopens, while the market will also incorporate a security premium into long-term prices." Goldman Sachs noted that this shock has not yet fully impacted Western regions and remains primarily a localized crisis, leading to a significant drop in oil transport volumes and tight supply in Asian markets (Asia typically accounts for 95% of Hormuz imports). However, commercial crude oil inventories in the US and OECD European countries are rising. Goldman Sachs currently forecasts the average Brent crude oil price to be $110 between March and April, a 62% increase from the average price in 2025. It predicts the average WTI crude oil price to be $98 in March and $105 in April, as the market will consider US export prices, widening the price spread between WTI and Brent crude. (Jingshi)

On March 23, Goldman Sachs currently predicts that the European Central Bank will raise rates by 25 basis points in both April and June 2026, having previously forecasted that rates would remain unchanged this year. This adjustment aligns with predictions from JPMorgan and Barclays, both of which also expect the ECB to take action in April. Goldman Sachs noted that conflicts in the Middle East have introduced inflation risks, with rising energy prices being a major concern.
