- 07:56Scroll: It is expected to upgrade to Stage 1 ZK-Rollup in April and form a security committeeOdaily Planet Daily reports that Scroll has posted on the X platform, predicting an upgrade to Stage 1 ZK-Rollup in April this year. This stage will support mandatory transactions, permission-free transaction submissions, complete zkEVM proofs, and will also form a security committee composed of industry experts. In previous news, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin expressed his anticipation for more L2s entering Stage 1. He once posted on the Fellowship of Ethereum Magicians message board stating that Stage 0 networks call themselves Layer 2 or "Rollup", with all their compressed versions of transactions released onto Ethereum. In Stage 1, network smart contracts on Ethereum will include fraud proof or validity proof schemes which can prevent developers from publishing invalid state roots. If developers attempt to extract funds not belonging to them through fraudulent means or block users' legitimate withdrawals, these transactions would normally fail.
- 07:5210x Research: Bitcoin may enter another 8-month fluctuation period, the market lacks "buy on dips" momentumOdaily Planet Daily reports that Markus Thielen, the research director of 10x Research, stated that Bitcoin might repeat its performance in 2024 by entering a long period of consolidation after hitting a historical high. He pointed out that the current technical pattern of Bitcoin presents a "high tight flag" formation, which is usually considered as a bullish continuation pattern. However, the current structure shows some signs of weakness indicating an uncertain market state rather than purely bullish consolidation. In addition to this, Thielen observed that there was no significant "buying on dips" sentiment shown in the US spot Bitcoin ETF market and lacked new capital inflow momentum. He believes most ETF funds mainly come from arbitrage-driven hedge funds and persistently low fund rates have reduced investors' willingness to add more money during recent pullbacks. According to Farside data, since Bitcoin fell below $90k at the beginning of March, about $1.66 billion has flowed out from US spot Bitcoin ETFs. Bitcoin's current trading price is $84,290 USD which is down by 23% compared to its historic high point of $109k USD set in January. Whether or not bitcoin can resume its upward trend in short term remains unclear according to Thielen who advises investors to temporarily close their short positions at this stage but still lacks clear signals supporting strong rebound. Meanwhile Arthur Hayes co-founder BitMEX predicted on March 10th that bitcoin could retrace back down towards $78k USD and if it falls below this support level then next key position would be at $75k USD . Iliya Kalchev Nexo research analyst thinks bitcoin may form more sustainable rebound basis around lower area near $70K.
- 07:45The market share of meme coins fell to 5.67% after reaching a peak of 9% in November 2024Odaily Planet Daily reports that Ella Zhang, the director of YZi Labs, shared a set of data on the changing trend of market value ratios between Meme coins and non-Meme coins: After experiencing severe fluctuations, the proportion of Meme coin market value rose from 2.5% in February 2024 to 5% in March, and reached a peak of 9% in November 2024. However, since January 2025, this ratio has begun to decline and fell back to 5.67% by February. The data shows that the Meme coin market rapidly expanded in the second half of 2024 with its market value reaching $111 billion USD in November accounting for 9% of the non-Meme coin market. But as market sentiment cooled down, this ratio fell back to 7.5% at the beginning of 2025 and further declined to 5.67% by February. Analysts point out that in long term perspective, focus will still be on fundamental construction rather than short-term speculative behavior; true long-term builders will ultimately prevail.
