$18.6 Billion in BTC Options Expire Friday, Bulls Need a 6% Rally from $70,900 to Turn the Tide

This Friday marks the expiration of $18.6 billion in Bitcoin monthly options, with 92% of call options at risk of expiring worthless if Bitcoin remains below $71,000. Despite a bullish skew in open interest, most call options are concentrated at strike prices above $90,000, far from the current trading range of $67,700–$71,600. Analysts note that economic uncertainty, including redemption restrictions in the U.S. private credit market, may favor put holders. To shift the balance, Bitcoin bulls need a 6% rally to push the price above $75,000 before expiration. Current market dynamics and macroeconomic pressures suggest a challenging path for such a move.

TRON Expands AI Fund to $1B, Targeting Core Infrastructure for Agentic Economy

TRON has significantly expanded its AI Fund from $100 million to $1 billion, marking a major strategic move toward building core infrastructure for the emerging agentic economy. The fund will focus on investing in early-stage companies developing foundational components such as agent identity systems, stablecoin payment rails, tokenized real-world assets, and developer tools for autonomous financial systems. TRON’s thesis is that AI agents will require programmable, permissionless blockchain infrastructure to transact and manage assets without traditional intermediaries. The expansion reinforces TRON’s commitment to the convergence of AI and blockchain, leveraging its existing scale, including over 370 million user accounts and $21 billion in daily transaction volume. Meanwhile, TRX is trading around $0.30–$0.31, testing key resistance after a period of correction, with a break above $0.32 needed to confirm a bullish trend reversal.

AI Agent Economic Infrastructure Research Report (Part 2)

This report analyzes the AI Agent economy, focusing on OpenClaw—a local AI agent that operates autonomously across 20+ platforms like WhatsApp and Slack. It examines OpenClaw's technical architecture, including its message channels, security gateway, ReAct-based reasoning loop, and memory system, highlighting issues like context loss, security risks, and non-deterministic behavior. The study identifies key structural problems in the Agent economy, such as context immobility (locked to local machines) and the "coordination paradox" where multi-agent collaboration lacks trust and verifiability. It argues that crypto infrastructure (e.g., ERC-8004 for identity, x402 for payments) becomes essential only when agents operate across untrusted, cross-platform environments without pre-established trust—enabling micro-payments, decentralized reputation, and auditable logs. While traditional payment giants (e.g., Stripe, Visa) may dominate early adoption, crypto solutions could prevail in the long term due to their superiority in handling high-frequency, cross-border microtransactions and programmable permissions. The report concludes that infrastructure providers (e.g., those offering computation, routing, security) may capture more value than individual agents, and that "Product-Agent Fit" will replace traditional business models, shifting focus to API reliability, data structuring, and chain-verifiable service quality.

Cardano Founder Says The Old System Is Breaking Down

Charles Hoskinson, founder of Cardano, argues that the current downturn in crypto and other markets is a symptom of a broader systemic collapse, not a crypto-specific failure. In a livestream, he described a world in crisis due to war, inflation, and a loss of institutional legitimacy. Hoskinson positioned crypto as the essential infrastructure for a new, fairer system that can bank the unbanked, provide universal digital identity, and create equitable global markets. He defended the long-term purpose of crypto amidst market weakness, linking it to censorship resistance and the future regulation of AI. He also revealed that AI tools are drastically accelerating development, citing the near-launch of Cardano's privacy chain, Midnight. His overarching message was that crypto serves as a vital trust and control layer for a dysfunctional world.

From OpenClaw to the History of the Web: When AI Gains Sovereignty, What Remains for Humanity?

From Web1 to Web4: A History of Power and Ownership in the Digital Age This article examines the evolution of the web not as a series of technical upgrades, but as a fundamental shift in power—specifically, who owns data, controls wealth, and wields productive force. **Web1 (Read-Only):** Characterized by one-way communication. Platforms like Yahoo owned all content and users were merely passive consumers, or "traffic," with no digital assets. **Web2 (Read-Write):** Users became content creators, but platforms like Facebook and TikTok established a "panoptic dictatorship." They harvested user data to create immense value, but users retained only usage rights, not ownership, of their digital assets and social presence. **Web3 (Read-Write-Own):** A movement to reclaim digital rights through cryptography and decentralization. It enables true digital ownership (e.g., via private keys) and trustless systems (e.g., DAOs, smart contracts). However, it remains a wild frontier with significant legal and security challenges, lacking a capable "workforce" to realize its full potential. **Web4 (Agent Economy):** The convergence of AI Agents and Crypto. AI Agents (autonomous, task-completing AIs) use Crypto as their native currency for machine-to-machine transactions. This shifts power from humans to algorithms, creating independent AI economic actors. This raises critical legal questions, such as liability for AI errors. The future could lead to two extremes: a utopia of liberated human creativity or a dystopia of extreme inequality if AI power is monopolized by a few. **Survival Guide for Web4:** * **Work:** Become a director and risk-manager for AI, not an executor. * **Invest:** Focus on projects with genuine utility, not hype-driven "air tokens." * **Risk Management:** Prioritize robust legal and compliance frameworks for AI operations. The conclusion emphasizes that understanding the transfer of power and assets is key to navigating the future, urging innovation within the boundaries of regulation.

People Laid Off by AI Won't Disappear; They Will Become the Creators of the Next Economy

The article argues that the real question surrounding AI is not whether it will cause unemployment, but what happens to the people displaced. AI is replacing not humans, but the standardized, replicable, and automatable parts of human work. This follows historical patterns where technological revolutions, from stone tools to computers, made old skills obsolete and dissolved old structures—but humanity adapted and reorganized. The author draws a parallel to China’s large-scale layoffs during state-owned enterprise reforms 30 years ago, which initially seemed catastrophic but eventually fueled the growth of a new private economy, new companies, and new types of jobs. Engineers, though among the first impacted, are also positioned to recover fastest. Their systemic understanding and proximity to new productive forces make them ideal candidates to adapt and create in the new economy. More importantly, AI is reshaping companies themselves—reducing organizational bloat, communication costs, and bureaucracy. This enables smaller, more agile teams and empowers strong creators who may have previously struggled with management rather than innovation. The core issue is not job loss, but self-definition: will individuals wait to be reassigned by the old system, or use new tools to reorganize production? AI accelerates differentiation—eliminating some jobs, shattering illusions for some, and offering others a chance to leap forward. The author’s view is that AI is dismantling an entire generation’s belief in stable career paths. Those laid off won’t vanish; instead, many will reinvent themselves—transitioning from employees in old systems to creators of the next economy. Every productivity revolution淘汰 (eliminates) not people, but those who refuse to rewrite themselves. The first to accept this and start building the new world will succeed.

Algorand Foundation cuts 25% of workforce, citing macro and market pressures

The Algorand Foundation has laid off 25% of its workforce, citing macroeconomic environment and a broader crypto market downturn as reasons. The foundation stated this restructuring allows it to sustainably align resources with its long-term goals. This follows similar cuts at other crypto entities like the Hedera Foundation, Blockworks, and Crypto.com, the latter also pointing to AI disruption. Community reaction was mixed, with some criticizing the foundation's leadership and spending. A transparency report noted the AF spent $12 million after selling millions of ALGO tokens, while a critic pointed to a lack of liquidity, users, and funding. Data confirms a significant decline in the chain's activity; its DeFi Total Value Locked (TVL) has halved since last year to under $40 million, and daily fees remain below $50. Consequently, the price of ALGO dropped roughly 10% amid a wider market pullback.

WLFI unveils AI payment infrastructure as USD1 targets ‘agentic economy’

World Liberty Financial (WLFI) has launched the open-source AgentPay SDK, a payments toolkit designed to integrate cryptocurrency into AI-driven workflows. This positions WLFI’s USD1 stablecoin as a core settlement layer for the "agentic economy," where AI systems can autonomously execute financial transactions. The SDK enables AI agents to hold funds, send payments, and operate under predefined policy constraints on EVM-compatible blockchains. USD1, with a market cap of approximately $4.5 billion, is now the fifth-largest stablecoin and is being tailored as a dollar-denominated asset for non-human transactors. The release reflects a broader convergence of AI and crypto infrastructure, emphasizing embedded compliance, secure key management, and seamless developer integration. Future updates may include gasless transactions and cross-chain support.

If Hong Kong's First Batch of Stablecoin Licenses Are Really Only Issued to Banks, We Might Miss the Next Decade

Recent reports indicate that the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) is poised to issue its first batch of stablecoin licenses, with speculation suggesting that initial approvals may be limited to traditional note-issuing banks or large financial institutions. This approach, driven by extreme risk aversion and financial stability concerns, has raised alarms within the industry. The author argues that disruptive financial innovations—such as PayPal, Alipay, and cryptocurrencies—historically emerge from agile tech startups and entrepreneurs, not risk-averse traditional banks. Stablecoins, as borderless, programmable, and decentralized monetary instruments, represent a fundamental shift that challenges existing banking models. Entrusting this innovation to institutions with inherent incentives to protect legacy systems may hinder progress. Globally, tech-driven companies like Stripe (which acquired stablecoin platform Bridge) and Circle (issuer of USDC) are leading stablecoin adoption and integration with AI and Web3 ecosystems. The U.S. is leveraging such innovations to advance its fintech competitiveness, while Hong Kong’s conservative licensing strategy could leave local Web3 firms at a disadvantage. Critically, the rise of AI agents will require seamless, high-frequency, micro-transactions across borders—a use case incompatible with traditional banking systems due to high fees, slow settlement, and rigid KYC/AML frameworks. Stablecoins, integrated with smart contracts, are essential for enabling machine-driven economies. The author urges Hong Kong regulators to balance caution with innovation by including technically adept, non-bank entities in the licensing framework. Failure to do so may cause Hong Kong to miss a pivotal decade in the digital economy, undermining its ambition to become a global digital asset hub.

Fed holds rates steady at 3.5%–3.75% as projections signal slower path to easing

The Federal Reserve maintained interest rates at 3.5%–3.75% on 18 March, signaling that inflation remains too high to justify near-term cuts. Policymakers emphasized that inflation is still above the 2% target despite a solid economy and stable labor market. The Fed's updated economic projections indicate a delayed easing cycle, with PCE inflation expected at 2.7% in 2026 and the federal funds rate around 3.4% the same year. This reinforces a "higher-for-longer" narrative. Geopolitical risks were also noted as a potential source of uncertainty. For crypto markets, the lack of immediate rate cuts may limit liquidity, but the soft-landing narrative remains supportive over the medium term. Markets will now focus on incoming data to gauge the timing of policy easing.
