彭博社：Coinbase 收购 Deribit 谈判已进入“深入”阶段

According to Decrypt, a Bitcoin miner independently processed Bitcoin block 888737. This block contains 2327 transactions, and the miner received a reward of 3.125 BTC and a fee of 0.032 BTC. Based on the current price of Bitcoin at $84257, this means a profit of over $266000.  

Odaily Planet Daily News: Hester Peirce, head and commissioner of the SEC's crypto task force, stated that crypto projects such as Stoner Cats that raise funds through NFTs should be exempt from securities regulations, and revealed that the SEC may soon issue a clarification statement on this matter. Peirce stated in an interview backstage at the SEC's first crypto roundtable meeting that the SEC's statement yesterday that "proof of work mining is not a security" received positive feedback, and she believes that NFTs have the potential to become the next asset class to receive regulatory exemptions. She stated that it would be extremely helpful if the SEC could provide clear frameworks or reference marks for NFT issuers. Previously, Stoner Cats and Flyfish Club were sued by the SEC under former SEC Chairman Gary Gensler for their NFT fundraising activities. Stoner Cats raised $8 million for animation production by selling NFTs, while Flyfish Club raised over $14 million for private restaurant construction through NFT sales. These NFTs can be traded on the secondary market and have a royalty sharing mechanism. Peirce emphasized that even if exemptions are introduced in the future, not all NFT projects are automatically exempt from securities regulation. If NFT is essentially a securitized token, relevant regulations will still apply. In addition, the US Congress is also pushing for legislation to legalize NFT fundraising activities with rights, membership, or artistic attributes. （Decrypt）

According to BlockBeats, on March 22nd, Politico reported that the Super PAC network, funded by the cryptocurrency industry, will support two Republican candidates from Florida in the April 1st U.S. House of Representatives special elections. This network includes Fairshake, Defend American Jobs, and Protect Progress. Among them, Defend American Jobs will invest $1.2 million in advertising to support Florida Senator Randy Fine. Fine once posted on X platform, stating that "Floridians hope to see cryptocurrency innovation" and calling for the introduction of "clear regulatory rules". The Super PAC will also invest $345000 to support Jimmy Patronis, who plans to run for the seat of former Congressman Matt Gaetz. Patronis had previously written to the Florida Board of Governors requesting a study on whether it is possible to invest some of the state pension funds in digital assets. Currently, there are four vacant seats in the United States House of Representatives, two of which are in Florida. If the Democratic Party wins all the seats, the Republican Party's lead in the House of Representatives will be reduced to only one vote.
