How an absurd encryption coin became the focus of the market
In the first quarter of this year, a cryptocurrency with an absurd name and no practical use became one of the few mainstream coins to rise against the trend, even attracting the attention of Wall Street and causing unease among traditional investors.
This token is called Fartcoin and has a similar origin to another well-known project, GOAT. Fartcoin was born out of an AI dialogue system, triggered by a casual conversation about a certain tech entrepreneur's fondness for fart sounds. The AI suggested creating a token named Fartcoin, and thus this "fart coin" was born on October 18, 2024.
Born into the spotlight.
Fartcoin immediately attracted widespread attention and popularity among cryptocurrency insiders upon its launch. On December 13, 2024, a teasing message about Fartcoin quickly spread on social media.

Ethereum on-chain Meme Token is active again, and the Solana ecosystem welcomes a new round of prosperity.
Recently, the market has started to warm up from the bottom, with Ethereum performing particularly well. With the Pectra upgrade, continuous ETF purchases, and the successful new issuance model of Virtual, Ethereum has received multiple boosts from capital recognition, technological advancement, and ecological prosperity, leading to a continuous rise in coin price. This has also driven the revival of on-chain Meme tokens for Ethereum.
In contrast, the well-established secondary Meme tokens and AI sector tokens within the Solana ecosystem have generally increased, but the primary market is accelerating in pace and lacks sustained narrative support. At the same time, the upper market is facing continuous selling pressure from related addresses such as FTX and Alameda, while the lower market is influenced by platforms like PumpFun. Aside from the Bonk system, which continues to output new projects, ordinary investors are finding fewer opportunities to profit within the ecosystem.

Solana's vision and strategy for building an Internet capital market
Solana is committed to making capital markets accessible to every connected individual in the world. Today, with just a few clicks of downloading a wallet app, anyone can access this globally accessible ledger system, where physical assets, currency, and cultural elements can be tokenized.

The founders of MakerDAO recently shared a series of measures aimed at enhancing the stability and defenses of the Maker Protocol in response to possible market turbulence. He also offered his thoughts on the future development of decentralized finance (DeFi).
In order to avoid a recurrence of market crashes like Black Thursday, the Maker team has fixed a key vulnerability. This improvement can effectively prevent zero bids in the liquidation auction process, thus improving the security of the system.
In addition, by introducing USDC as additional collateral, the Maker protocol reduces its sensitivity to Ethereum price fluctuations. This move helps to enhance the stability of the entire system and make it more resilient to market volatility.
Looking to the future, the founders of MakerDAO laid out three key milestones to achieve "full decentralization":
1. Develop a capable autonomous

2025 Crypto Market Outlook: Four Major Scenarios and Eleven Predictions
Since 2024, the crypto market has experienced a significant upward cycle. From the launch of an exchange product in early January to Bitcoin's all-time high, it then drove altcoins to rise and enter the volatile second and third quarters of 2024. Bitcoin is currently hovering around $90,000 after breaking through the $50,000 and $60,000 mark.
It's worth noting that altcoin rallies tend to start when Bitcoin reaches its highs. In the first round, bitcoin hit $69,000 but failed to break through, and the next round went to $100,000.
It is expected that the next round of altcoin rally may occur after Bitcoin has stabilized at $100,000, possibly in the first quarter of 2025. But it is also possible that the situation in the second and third quarters of 2024 will be repeated in the coming months. Here are a few possible scenarios:
Scenario 1: Bitcoin and altcoins are generally rising.

A day earlier, Circle announced the transfer of its retail investment trading platform, Circle Invest, to a Canadian cryptocurrency broker. Approximately 40,000 customers will migrate to the new platform by the end of March, and Circle's stablecoin platform services will be integrated.

The series of business divestitures has sparked discussions in the market regarding Circle's strategic adjustments. The company is focusing its efforts on the stablecoin sector.

New thinking in marketing in the Web3 era: token issuance, meme culture and developer community operation
The Web3 Frontiers program explores the differences between marketing in the crypto space and the traditional tech industry. The guests shared their practical experience in reputation building, developer community operation, talent recruitment, token issuance, and founder image building.

- Founders should be domain experts, not simply product salesmen
- Layer 2 projects need to balance their own differentiation with the binding of the Ethereum ecosystem
- Developer Relations ( DevRel ) should be deeply integrated into the marketing system.
- Crypto project marketing team building should follow the "All

Discussion on the growth strategy of TG ecological traffic

As one of the fastest-growing social platforms in the world, TG has more than 950 million monthly active users and is expected to reach 1.5 billion in three years. Compared with WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger, TG has more advantages in terms of openness, functional perfection and ecological closed-loop, and is regarded as the platform closest to the WeChat ecosystem overseas.

The encryption industry has high hopes for the results of the U.S. election.
The cryptocurrency industry has been in the spotlight lately, and its future development has become one of the hotly debated technology topics around the world. In the upcoming U.S. election, the issue appears to be a point of disagreement between the candidates.
A senior financial regulator told the media that the cryptocurrency industry is "rife with fraud and scams." He noted that global investors have already suffered huge losses due to the failure of some crypto companies to comply with relevant regulations.
However, the crypto industry is actively influencing the outcome of the November election through political donations in hopes of a more favorable legal environment. In addition to the presidential election, numerous seats in Congress will also be re-elected.
In terms of presidential candidates, Trump has recently shown a positive attitude towards cryptocurrency. He promised to make the United States the "global cryptocurrency capital" and even proposed the creation of a "national strategic bitcoin reserve" similar to gold reserves

Analysis of the security of the global blockchain ecosystem in the third quarter of 2022: losses amounted to more than $400 million
In the third quarter of 2022, the global blockchain ecosystem suffered a number of security incidents, resulting in a total loss of about $405.04 million. There were more than 37 major attacks in the quarter, which is down from the previous quarter, but still shows a serious challenge to blockchain security.
The data shows that 92% of the amount of losses comes from cross-chain bridges and decentralized finance (DeFi) projects. This phenomenon highlights the vulnerability of these two types of projects in terms of security. Among them, the amount of losses on the Ethereum network is as high as $374.28 million, accounting for the vast majority of the total losses.
From the perspective of attack methods, 92% of the loss amount is due to contract vulnerability exploitation and private key leakage. This shows that smart contract security and private key management are still areas that blockchain projects need to focus on.
It is worth noting that about 204.2 million
