Experts Predict Imminent Breakthrough in China’s Brain-Computer Interfaces
From March 25 to 29, the ZGC Forum took place in Beijing, where developers showcased a wide range of brain-computer interface (BCI) products—from specialized microchips to rehabilitation systems. These attracted significant attention from numerous visitors, reports China.org. “The technology is rapidly advancing, and its application scope is expanding,” stated Zhao Jizong, a neurosurgery expert and academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Among the solutions presented at the exhibition, two developments stood out—Beinao-1 and Beinao-2. The former is a semi-invasive system implanted in seven patients, all of whom successfully recovered and partially regained motor and speech functions. Beinao-2 is an invasive implant with flexible electrodes, fully integrable into the brain. It is currently undergoing extensive animal testing. Its developer, NeuCyber Neurotech, stated that the product lags behind Neuralink's technologies by about three years. The advantage of Elon Musk's firm's solution is that its surgical robot can insert hundreds of electrodes into the brain in mere minutes for the N1 chip. Beinao-2 will move to clinical trials in 2026. BCI creates a direct communication channel between the brain and an external device. The system records and interprets signals from the head, allowing direct “communication” with machines. This enables patients to control various devices. China has adopted several policies to support BCI research and implementation. This sector is officially included in the list of priority industries for the future. At the forum, experts from research institutes, hospitals, universities, and companies exchanged experiences and discussed the development of technology and its industrial application. Gu Xiaosong, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, noted that since 2025, BCI development in China has significantly accelerated: many technologies have moved to the stage of applied verification and are already showing impressive results. In recent years, medical institutions in Beijing, Tianjin, Guangzhou, Wuhan, Nanjing, and other cities have opened specialized BCI clinics or research departments. Solutions developed in the country are used in disease diagnosis, motor function recovery, and neuromodulation. Zhao emphasized that the state faces serious challenges in the field of neurological diseases. The number of patients exceeds 3.7 million. BCI opens a new avenue for rehabilitation. Local authorities across China are creating infrastructure for industry development. Lin Han, deputy head of the Haidian district in Beijing, reported that 27 companies in the BCI field are already operating in the region. By 2030, it is planned to attract about 100 innovative small and medium-sized enterprises and achieve widespread adoption of BCI products in medicine, rehabilitation, industry, and education. Experts noted ongoing issues—technology reliability, safety, and ethical concerns. China on the Verge of a Breakthrough Yao Dezhong, director of the Sichuan Institute of Neuroscience, stated that practical application of BCI in China will begin within three to five years. “China has many advantages in this field—a large population, high demand from patients, efficient industry, and a large pool of specialists,” the expert noted. According to him, integrating BCI into the insurance system and developing national standards are aimed at reducing the “huge” gap between scientific research and clinical application. While American startups like Neuralink focus on invasive chips that penetrate brain tissue, Chinese researchers are also developing surface-implantable and non-invasive solutions with broader clinical application potential. This approach may lead to a loss of signal quality but at the same time reduces the risk of tissue damage and postoperative complications. In March, China's regulator approved the country's first neuroimplant for commercial use.

QCP Capital: High Oil Prices Enhance Bitcoin’s Role as a Store of Value
Analysts at QCP Capital have observed the consolidation of the leading cryptocurrency within the $65,000 to $70,000 range. The asset has outperformed gold and stocks in terms of returns. During the Asian session, Bitcoin's price briefly dropped to $65,000. Later, it returned to $67,000—a trend that has persisted throughout the current month. The coin tends to depreciate by Saturday due to the closing of margin positions and begins to recover with the start of the new workweek. Experts pointed out the overall weak sentiment among retail and institutional investors. A strong impetus is needed for the market to resume its upward trend. Analysts noted the recent mass sell-off following the expiration of quarterly options. Bitcoin risks closing in the red for the sixth consecutive month. This would mark the first three-month series of declines at the start of the year. High oil prices continue to exert inflationary pressure on the global economy. Experts view macroeconomic turbulence as an argument in favor of purchasing Bitcoin as an independent store of value. In the derivatives market, traders remain cautious. Expected volatility has decreased. Market participants are actively buying options to hedge portfolios against potential price shocks. Contract sellers prefer to stay out of the market until the situation stabilizes. Altcoins at Historical Lows The cryptocurrency market is suffering from the high volatility of traditional finance. According to an analyst under the pseudonym Darkfost, altcoins are currently under the greatest pressure. In the current cycle, they have not yet faced such a downturn. More than 40% of Altcoins near All-Time Lows“This is even higher than during the previous bear market, which peaked at ~38%… However, when such extreme underperformance appears, it can also create very attractive opportunities.” – By @Darkfost_Coc pic.twitter.com/XvAmKiKyyQ— CryptoQuant.com (@cryptoquant_com) March 30, 2026 More than 40% of alternative coins have approached or reached historical lows. This figure has surpassed the peak levels of the previous bear market, which stood at 38%. Macroeconomic instability remains unfavorable for risky assets. The second cause of the collapse was the mass issuance of tokens. According to the researcher, over 47 million cryptocurrencies have been created in total. Of these, 22 million were issued on the Solana blockchain, 18 million on the Base network, and 4 million on the BNB Chain. The vast supply dilutes liquidity, making altcoins vulnerable and explaining their record lag behind Bitcoin. Darkfost added that the extreme market decline opens up profitable opportunities. Investors have the chance to buy fundamentally strong and resilient projects at rock-bottom prices. Earlier, analysts at JPMorgan stated that Bitcoin is weathering the Iranian crisis better than major precious metals.

Aave Founder Predicts Convergence of DeFi and Traditional Finance
Co-founder of Aave Labs, Stani Kulechov, in an interview with CoinDesk commented on recent governance conflicts within the protocol and shared his views on the future of the DeFi sector. He considers the current team reshuffles and disputes a natural stage in the network's development. In recent months, the Aave community has been actively debating the project's development path. Some users wish to maintain an open platform under the control of token holders. Others warn of a shift towards a model where key contributors gain more power and revenue. The debates intensified over the distribution of fees. In February, Aave Labs proposed directing all revenue from branded products to the DAO treasury. The initiative drew criticism, with community members seeing it as blurring the lines between independent voting and the influence of lead developers. Due to strategic disagreements, two key development teams — BGD Labs and Aave Chain Initiative — left the project. Kulechov does not see this as a problem. He described the reshuffles as a normal cycle, noting that replacing global financial infrastructure always takes time. Amid the governance crisis, Aave is preparing to launch the fourth version of the protocol. The development of v4 has taken about two years. The update will introduce a modular architecture, simplifying the creation of new applications on the platform, enhancing capital efficiency, and expanding the list of available assets. The code is undergoing final security checks. Kulechov dismissed rumors of stagnation in the DeFi sector. He pointed to tens of billions of dollars still locked in smart contracts. In his view, the source of growth is simply changing. The driver of the next phase will not be cryptocurrency projects but the real economy, including tokenization of assets and institutional lending. The protocol's creator is confident that DeFi will not quickly eliminate traditional finance. Decentralized networks will become the basic infrastructure and seamlessly integrate into the operations of classic banks and fintech platforms. In February, Aave was the first in the decentralized finance industry to issue loans worth $1 trillion.

Bluesky Unveils AI App for Custom Social Media Feeds
Bluesky developers have announced an AI assistant that enables users to create custom algorithms for personalized news feeds, as reported by TechCrunch. The Attie app was introduced at the Atmosphere conference by former Bluesky CEO Jay Graber (now serving as Chief Innovation Officer) and CTO Paul Frazee. Attendees of the event will be the first to test the new solution. It utilizes Anthropic's Claude technology to create an application built on the Bluesky protocol — AT Protocol. The tool is not part of Bluesky; it is a standalone product. With Attie, anyone can create their own feed by entering commands in natural language, similar to interacting with chatbots. The service allows interaction, such as asking about potentially interesting posts or what might be best to repost. “You control it, tailor it to yourself without knowing code or understanding the setup of such feeds,” said CEO Tony Schneider. Initially, Attie allows users to create and view feeds, which will later be accessible within Bluesky or any other application based on the AT Protocol. In the future, users will be able to create their own resources and tools using vibe coding. Schneider shared that Graber and her team began working on the app several months ago. She believes that today, major platforms use artificial intelligence for their own interests, aiming to increase the time users spend on apps, collect data, and control algorithms. “We believe AI should serve people, not platforms. An open protocol gives this power. You can create your own feeds, develop software as you wish, and highlight important information from the noise,” the entrepreneur emphasized. Schneider added that cryptocurrency integration is not planned, despite crypto investors participating in Bluesky's recent $100 million funding round. “These are people attracted by decentralization in the crypto industry. They invested in projects without a single point of failure. Here, the social networks align with that vision,” she explained. Instead of using digital assets, the company is exploring other monetization methods. Back in late August to early September 2024, the number of Bluesky users increased by 1 million, catalyzed by X's ban in Brazil.
WLD Hits Record Low Following World Foundation’s $65 Million Token Sale
World Foundation executed an over-the-counter sale of 239 million WLD at $0.27 each. The coin fell to a historic low. 1/ World Assets, Ltd. has now closed a series of OTC sales for a total of $65,000,000 with four counterparties over the past week, the first of which settled on March 20, 2026.— World Foundation (@worldcoinfnd) March 28, 2026 “This sale funds core operations and project activities, research and development, orb production, ecosystem development, and much more,” project representatives wrote. The first tranche was conducted on March 20, but the announcement came a week later. Of the total $65 million, tokens worth $25 million are subject to a six-month lock-up, while the rest became immediately available to buyers. Following the announcement, WLD dropped to $0.24, marking its lowest point ever. At the time of writing, prices had recovered to $0.28. However, this remains 97% below the peak reached in March 2024 at $11.82. Hourly chart of WLD/USDT on Binance. Source: TradingView. The market capitalization of Worldcoin stands at $879 million. At its peak in September 2025, it reached $3.9 billion. Lido's Buyback Initiative The token LDO from the staking platform Lido Finance is facing challenging times. The asset is trading nearly 96% below its ATH, last updated in 2021 at $7.3. Currently, the coin is priced at $0.3. Hourly chart of LDO/USDT on Binance. Source: TradingView. To support the price, DAO Lido is considering a one-time buyback worth $20 million. The initiative proposes exchanging 10,000 stETH from the organization's treasury for LDO. Limit orders or a DCA strategy will be used to minimize market impact. Each buyback batch must be approved by token holders, and a report on the results will be required upon completion. “This is not a typical fluctuation. It is one of the most significant discrepancies between the market price of LDO and the protocol's fundamentals in the token's history,” the proposal's authors noted. The coin is trading at a discount to Ethereum at 0.00016—approximately 63% below the two-year median, developers calculated. The market capitalization has plummeted to $275 million, although it exceeded $3.2 billion in 2024. The proposal emerged amid a 23% drop in Lido's revenue to $40.5 million in 2025, primarily due to a 23% decrease in staking fees to $37.4 million. Nonetheless, the project remains the leader in the liquid staking market, accounting for 23.2% of all staked ETH. Source: Dune. Lido DAO emphasized that the protocol's fundamentals remain strong: rewards decreased by 20% amid a general market pullback, and costs fell by 13% in 2025 compared to 2024. The commission rate increased from 5% to over 6.1%, boosting fee collections. Earlier in 2026, the Lido team launched a modular infrastructure for staking, stVaults.

Bitcoin Tests $65,000
On March 30, the leading cryptocurrency fell to $65,112, marking a new low since late February. By the opening of Asian trading, the asset's price had recovered to $67,400. Hourly chart of BTC/USDT on Binance. Source: TradingView. Altcoins supported the local rebound: Ethereum rose to $2042, Solana to $83.4, and XRP to $1.35. However, the weekly chart remains bearish overall. Exceptions were Ethereum and TRX, which gained 0.3% and 5% respectively. Source: CoinGecko. The cryptocurrency market is under pressure from a negative macroeconomic backdrop and rising commodity prices. Brent crude oil has increased to $115 per barrel, and industrial metal prices are also climbing. Asian stock indices have fallen by more than 3%. The rising cost of raw materials heightens inflationary risks, causing investors to doubt a quick reduction in the Federal Reserve's key rate. Meanwhile, the number of long positions on the BTC/USD pair on the Bitfinex exchange reached 79,343, the highest since November 2023. Source: CoinDesk, TradingView. Historically, this metric acts as a counter-indicator, explained CoinDesk analyst Omkar Godbole. The rise in bullish positions often coincides with local price peaks, followed by sharp declines. The current accumulation of longs indicates a high risk of ending the consolidation in the $65,000-$75,000 range with a deep sell-off. On-chain analyst Willy Woo believes that Bitcoin will find a bottom in the range of $46,000 to $54,000. The CVDD metric is currently at $45,500. Old school onchain models suggest a BTC bottom between 46k-54k.

Ethereum Developers Propose ‘Economic Zone’ to Address L2 Fragmentation
Gnosis and Zisk, with support from the Ethereum Foundation (EF), have developed a framework to unify the fragmented ecosystem of layer two networks. The initiative is named the Ethereum Economic Zone (EEZ). Welcome to the Ethereum Economic Zone (EEZ), a framework for synchronously composable rollups.What does that mean?One deployment. Shared liquidity. Single transactions across L1 & L2. Identity verified anywhere. Smart wallets connected everywhere. No additional trust… https://t.co/Fuf8G0xwA4 pic.twitter.com/KeMLIisN8S— The Ethereum Economic Zone (@etheconomiczone) March 29, 2026 The project will allow applications to share infrastructure between rollups while maintaining settlements on the Ethereum base layer. This will reduce service duplication and the need for cross-chain transfers, simplifying interactions between ecosystems. EEZ will use ETH as the default gas payment. The proposal aims to address a key dilemma in the scaling strategy of the second-largest cryptocurrency network. While dozens of L2 solutions have increased throughput, they have also fragmented liquidity, infrastructure, and user activity across isolated environments. Alongside EEZ, an informal EEZ Alliance will be established to coordinate standards and support adoption. Founding members include Aave, block builders Titan and Beaver Build, the RWA platform Centrifuge, and the tokenized stock project xStocks. The "economic zone" will be registered as a Swiss non-profit organization. All software will be released as open source. Technical specifications and performance metrics are expected in the coming weeks. Part of the Strategy The Ethereum Foundation has agreed to co-finance EEZ—a notable decision amidst its shift to a frugal model. The foundation suspended its grant program in mid-2025, aiming to keep annual spending at 5%. Soon after, the organization shared an updated plan with a "proactive approach." The leadership identified scaling the main network and L2 interoperability as priority areas—EEZ aligns with this focus. In February 2026, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin stated that the original concept of layer two solutions had become outdated. The programmer proposed a new model for ecosystem development. Later, the EF presented its vision of the roles of the base layer and rollups. Developers also emphasized differentiation, suggesting that L2 solutions should offer unique features. Active Staking Meanwhile, the Ethereum Foundation continues to stake more ETH. On March 30, the organization locked 22,517 coins worth $46.2 million, noted Arkham specialists.
