According to the official announcement, BitMEX has launched new quarterly futures for BTC, ETH, XRP, etc. and trading can begin.

BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes stated in a recent blog post: "The value of Bitcoin = technology + legal liquidity. This technology is effective and will not undergo any major changes in the near future, whether good or bad. Therefore, Bitcoin trading is entirely based on market expectations of future legal currency supply. If my analysis of the major shift from the Fed's QT to QE in government bonds is correct, then Bitcoin touched a local low of $76,500 last month, and now we are moving towards $250,000 by the end of the year. Of course, this is not an exact science, but if I had to bet between whether Bitcoin would first touch $76,500 or $110,000, I would bet on the latter. Even if the U.S. stock market continues to decline due to tariffs, collapsing profit expectations, or decreased foreign demand, I still believe that the probability of Bitcoin continuing to rise is greater. Recognizing the pros and cons, Maelstrom is deploying capital cautiously. We do not use leverage, and we make small purchases relative to the size of our total portfolio. We have been buying Bitcoin and altcoins at all levels between $90,000 and $76,500. The speed of capital deployment will accelerate or slow down based on the accuracy of my predictions. I still believe that by the end of the year, Bitcoin can reach $250,000."

This development enables the Cosmos blockchain to integrate Cosmos EVM for full EVM compatibility, including support for JSON-RPC and Ethereum wallet compatibility through lightweight EVM configuration, for native ERC-20 tokens. This integration strengthens the cross-chain interoperability between the wider EVM ecosystem and Cosmos through the Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol.

According to Kyodo News, Japanese Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Toshimitsu Motegi held talks with U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross in Washington, trying to shield Japan from the impact of the Trump administration's proposed tariffs on imports, including cars and steel. However, Motegi stated that the two sides did not discuss exemptions, and he did not receive any commitments from the U.S. in the negotiations. This means that Japan is likely to be included in the scope of the U.S. steel and aluminum tariffs set to take effect on March 12. Motegi emphasized the contributions of Japanese companies to investment and employment in the U.S., and confirmed that the two governments will continue to have close consultations in the future. The discussions also involved energy cooperation between Japan and the U.S., including the liquefied natural gas development project in Alaska. (Krypton)

 Matrixport released a daily chart analysis stating that in the past eight weeks, Bitcoin ETFs have attracted a total of $11.2 billion in new funds, yet the price of the currency has only risen by about 10%. This flat increase may reflect some market participants selling on the trend or re-entering after observing. Overall, the bullish logic still holds true: the Bitcoin market has formed stable buying support. Although the sources of buying support are constantly changing, ETFs have seen almost no sustained net outflows. Compared to the Trump election period, MicroStrategy's current pace of increasing positions in Bitcoin has slowed slightly, but stable fund inflows continue to provide solid support for the Bitcoin price.
