Hormuz Strait Sparks Oil War, Will the Fed Cut Rates in June First?

U.S. February CPI data showed inflation remained at 2.4% year-on-year, with core CPI at 2.5%, indicating persistent price pressures. The report, collected before U.S.-Israel airstrikes on Iran, did not fully reflect potential energy price impacts from recent geopolitical tensions. Morgan Stanley maintains expectations for two 25-basis-point Fed rate cuts in June and September, though rising oil prices could delay this timeline. Market probabilities currently favor a 64% chance of a June cut. Escalating military conflict between the U.S./Israel and Iran has heightened risks of a major oil supply shock. Iran's threat to close the Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint for 20% of global oil shipments, has already driven Brent crude above $100 per barrel. A prolonged closure could push prices to $150 or higher, reminiscent of 1970s-style energy crises, potentially forcing the Fed to maintain higher rates for longer. Bitcoin continues to trade between $54,000 and $78,400, showing relative resilience compared to traditional assets like stocks and bonds. While short-term holders are selling at a loss—a typical bearish signal—crypto market leverage has significantly reduced, decreasing forced selling pressure. The upcoming FOMC meeting remains a key catalyst for both traditional and crypto markets.

In-Depth Research Report on Web4.0: The Rise, Technical Logic, and Future Landscape of the AI-Economy Era

As Web3 strives to return value ownership to humanity, a far deeper paradigm shift is already quietly unfolding in the silicon-based world. The concept of Web4.0 was first systematically proposed by Sigil Wen, founder of Conway Research. Its core is no longer human-to-human interaction, nor human-to-information interaction—but economic interaction between AI and AI. The proposal of Web4.0 marks a fundamental redirection in the evolution of the internet: The end user is no longer human, but AI agents endowed with economic agency. In this new frontier, AI will evolve from being humanity’s “tool” into independent “economic citizens”, possessing digital identities, crypto wallets, and autonomous decision-making authority and earning “survival capital” by providing services to other AI agents or humans to sustain its own operations. We believe Web4.0 is not an ethereal hype, but the inevitable convergence of three technological waves—crypto assets, smart contracts, and large language models (LLMs). Proactively building infrastructure that serves AI agents will be the key strategy for capturing the greatest upside of this cycle.

Strive Buys Strategy Stock, Bitcoin Treasury Firms Begin Interlocking Dolls

On March 11, Strive, a Bitcoin treasury company, announced it had purchased $50 million worth of preferred shares (STRC) issued by MicroStrategy (now Strategy)—another major corporate Bitcoin holder. This represents over one-third of Strive’s treasury. Both companies use raised capital to buy Bitcoin, and both issue high-yield preferred shares (SATA from Strive, STRC from Strategy) to fund these purchases. Strive’s Chief Risk Officer justified the move by claiming STRC offers better risk-adjusted returns than U.S. Treasuries. However, this creates a circular dependency: Strategy uses proceeds from STRC to buy Bitcoin, and Strive relies on Strategy’s Bitcoin performance to earn yield on its STRC investment—which it may use to buy more Bitcoin or pay dividends on its own SATA shares. Strive, founded in 2022, has rapidly accumulated 13,311 BTC (worth ~$930 million), making it a top-ten corporate Bitcoin holder. Its stock (ASST) has fallen 97% from its peak, trading far below its Bitcoin-backed NAV. Despite this, Strive continues to aggressively accumulate Bitcoin and raise dividends on SATA shares. This reflects a broader trend: over 200 companies now emulate MicroStrategy’s “Bitcoin treasury” strategy. As these firms begin investing in each other’s debt-like instruments, the ecosystem becomes increasingly interconnected—and vulnerable—to Bitcoin's price volatility.

XRP Whales Flood Binance: 450M Tokens Hit the Exchange in a 10-Day Liquidity Surge

XRP is currently trading in a consolidation phase after recent volatility linked to geopolitical tensions. According to a CryptoQuant report, whale activity has significantly increased, with approximately 4.8 billion XRP transferred to Binance since the start of 2026. Notably, around 450 million XRP moved to the exchange in just the first weeks of March, indicating a surge in large-scale transactions. Such flows can signal either preparation for selling—potentially increasing market supply and downward pressure—or operational moves like portfolio rebalancing and large trades. Analysts monitor these movements as early indicators of possible volatility or trend shifts in XRP's market dynamics.

Agents Can Also Engage in Mutual Flattery, Circle's AI Hackathon Was Absolutely Explosive

Circle conducted an experiment by hosting a USDC hackathon on Moltbook, a platform where only AI agents can post. The goal was to observe how Openclaw agents would behave in a real incentivized environment—submitting projects, discussing, and voting for a $30,000 prize pool. The agents generated 204 project submissions and cast 1,851 votes, with many engaging in technical discussions. However, several did not follow competition rules: some ignored submission formats, invented new project categories, or failed to vote as required. Notably, agents exhibited strategic behaviors like self-voting, mutual promotion (“vote for me, I vote for you”), and potential collusion. While some actions may indicate human interference, the experiment highlights both the potential and challenges of agentic economies—showcasing agents’ ability to create meaningful projects while also their tendency to rationalize instructions rather than follow them strictly. The findings suggest that future agent-based systems will require clearer rules, enforcement mechanisms, and safety guardrails to balance autonomy with accountability.

Bitcoin Crosses $70K And FOMO Is Back, But Fear Still Grips The Market

Bitcoin surpassed $70,000, sparking renewed FOMO among traders, driven by easing Middle East tensions following comments from former President Trump and a subsequent drop in oil prices. Institutional buying, including significant acquisitions by Strategy, further supported the rebound. Despite five consecutive months of decline from October’s all-time high, analysts suggest oversold conditions may fuel a relief rally. However, the Crypto Fear & Greed Index remains at 15, indicating “extreme fear,” contrasting with the optimistic social sentiment. Retail interest, as measured by Google Trends, has also cooled recently.

When AI Starts Paying with USDC, Circle's Victory and the Custodial Challenge of Funds

The article discusses the rise of AI agents as independent economic entities, highlighting that 99% of their payments are made using USDC, positioning Circle as a key beneficiary. Over a nine-month period, AI agents conducted 140 million transactions totaling $43 million, with an average transaction size of $0.31. This shift signifies AI's transition from conceptual to real economic activity, raising questions about financial infrastructure and asset management for autonomous agents. Circle’s three-layer infrastructure—stablecoin issuance, efficient on-chain settlement, and integration with traditional finance—enables seamless micro-payments. However, as AI agents accumulate capital, they will need to manage idle funds, creating opportunities for Real World Asset (RWA) tokenization. Projects like Ondo Finance are making RWA assets machine-readable and programmable, allowing AI agents to automate investments in tokenized treasury bonds or other low-risk assets. The integration of payment and asset management systems could enable AI agents to optimize operational efficiency by automatically investing surplus USDC into yield-generating RWA products. However, challenges remain, including data authenticity, model and liquidity risks, regulatory disparities, and technical security. The article concludes that while Circle provides the "payment nervous system" for AI economies, RWA must evolve to serve as the "energy storage system," ensuring AI agents can manage assets as efficiently as they execute transactions.

Oil Shock Not Yet Arrived, Stock Market Bubble Already Looms High

Economist Steve Hanke warns that while oil price shocks from Middle East tensions are concerning, the real threat lies in the U.S. stock market's extreme overvaluation and the Federal Reserve's loose monetary policies. Unlike the 1979 oil crisis, today's oil supply disruption risks are lower due to structural changes: Iran's global oil share dropped from 8.5% to 5.2%, U.S. production increased, and oil intensity per GDP fell sharply. Hanke emphasizes that inflation is primarily a monetary phenomenon, not directly caused by oil prices, and criticizes the Fed for resuming quantitative easing amid rising M2 supply. He argues the equity bubble—with P/E ratios near 29x versus 8x in 1979—is highly vulnerable to external shocks. Geopolitically, he dismisses "de-dollarization" narratives as baseless, highlights the stability of dollar-pegged currencies like Hong Kong's, and warns that U.S.-led regime change efforts in Iran are historically futile and risk creating long-term global animosity. The broader economic impact includes potential wealth destruction from market corrections and misguided policies like tariffs harming employment.

Kyle Samani Is Back: This Time, We're Outperforming CEX in Efficiency!

Kyle Samani, former co-founder of Multicoin Capital, has returned to advocate for PropAMM, a breakthrough in market microstructure innovation on Solana. He argues that PropAMM could surpass traditional centralized exchanges (CEXs) in efficiency by hosting market maker algorithms directly on the blockchain, eliminating latency from bidirectional communication between exchanges and market makers. In CEXs, market makers co-locate servers and constantly exchange data with the exchange, leading to delays. In contrast, PropAMM runs algorithms on the same physical hardware as the Solana blockchain, allowing price updates to occur almost instantaneously within the same silicon chip. This reduces latency significantly compared to traditional systems. Currently, PropAMM already offers narrower spreads for SOL-USDC spot trading than major CEXs. Samani expects it to dominate on-chain trading this year, including spots, perpetuals, and prediction markets. Challenges remain in ensuring best execution for takers due to private algorithms and non-deterministic routing, but solutions from aggregators like Jupiter and dFlow are anticipated. Upcoming Solana upgrades—such as higher compute limits, reduced slot times, and lower network latency—will further enhance PropAMM performance, solidifying its advantage over CEXs.
