据报道，特朗普赦免了被判犯有金融罪行的 BitMEX 联合创始人

Cryptocurrency markets are charging into the week with renewed bullish momentum, fueled by surging institutional interest, growing ETF-driven demand—particularly around Bitcoin—and a wave of favorable trading clarity is driving renewed investor confidence. Bitcoin (BTC) climbed to a peak of $104,900 on Saturday evening—just about 4% below its all-time high—following President Donald Trump’s announcement of progress in U.S.-China trade talks during a meeting in Switzerland. “A very good meeting today with China, in Switzerland,” Trump posted on Truth Social, his social media platform. “Many things discussed, much agreed to. A total reset negotiated in a friendly, but constructive, manner.” Bitcoin rallied on the heels of the news. Source: CoinGecko By early Sunday morning, the top cryptocurrency by volume hovered around $103,985. And yet, altcoins managed to grab the spotlight as well. At last check, Ethereum marked one of its strongest daily performances in recent weeks, while meme coins roared back to life. See below.

Analysts interpret this as a sign of capital rotation into altcoins, suggesting the onset of an “altcoin season.” The ETH/BTC ratio has rebounded from its lowest levels since 2020, further supporting this trend. Meanwhile, top U.S. and Chinese economic officials are expected to meet in Geneva for a second round of high-stakes trade talks to ease tensions from Trump’s escalating trade war. The conflict has already led to steep tariffs—145% on Chinese goods and 125% on U.S. exports—disrupting global supply chains and prompting companies to seek alternatives. According to the New York Times, economists warn the ongoing dispute could slow global growth, raise inflation, and push the U.S. toward a recession.

3 月 4 日，美国参议院发布了《国会审查法案》，废除了拜登时代的一项法规，即通常所说的《经纪商 DeFi 规则》。该规则要求去中心化金融平台与美国国税局共享用户数据。 CRA 将取消由参议员特德·克鲁兹和 13 位共同提案人制定的定期提供数字资产销售服务的经纪人的总收益报告（或简称为“经纪人 DeFi 规则”）。关于取消该规则的投票原定于 3 月 5 日进行，但由于日程安排冲突，可能会延迟进行。 根据克鲁兹的管理政策声明，该规则扩大了“经纪人”的定义，包括提供访问去中心化金融平台的软件，从而有效地将 DeFi 行业置于美国国税局的监督之下。 经纪商 DeFi 规则要求 DeFi 平台让用户遵守“了解你的客户”政策，报告平台上交易和其他活动的总收益，并与该机构分享相关纳税人的详细信息。在 CRA，经纪商 DeFi 规则被描述为强加给美国 DeFi 公司的合规负担。该规则的另一个问题是隐私问题。 该规则于 2024 年 12 月 30 日在拜登政府执政的最后几天通过，并于 2025 年 1 月 1 日生效。然而，DeFi 平台预计要到 2027 年才能履行合规义务。克鲁兹和他的共同提案人敦促总统将 CRA 签署成为法律，称这将促进创新和经济增长，而不是扼杀它。 白宫加密顾问戴维·萨克斯 (David Sacks) 对 CRA 的 X 表示支持。 白宫很高兴宣布支持 @SenTedCruz 和 @RepMikeCarey 提出的 CRA，以撤销所谓的经纪人 DeFi 规则，这是拜登政府对加密社区的最后一刻攻击。pic.twitter.com/T7Hxasb4aC— David Sacks (@davidsacks47) 2025 年 3 月 4 日 为什么经纪商 DeFi 规则存在问题？ 加密行业从一开始就反对经纪商 DeFi 规则，认为它误解了去中心化金融的运作方式。该规则假设 DeFi 平台充当中介，就像传统经纪商一样，而不是促进点对点交易的前端服务。 https://crypto.news/irs-targets-defi-blockchain-groups-challenge-new-broker-reporting-rule 经纪商 DeFi 规则错误地暗示 DeFi 平台（就像实际经纪商一样）充当交易对手之间的中介。规则的制定者似乎不明白，去中心化金融平台充当促进点对点交易的前端服务，连接交易对手但不控制交易对手。 Kristin Smith of Blockchain Association called the rule unconstitutional as it violates the Administrative Procedure Act and exceeds the statutory authority of the IRS and the Treasury Department. The joint statement of the Association, DeFi Education Fund, and Texas Blockchain Council cites the Blockchain Association Head of Legal Marisa Coppel as saying, “Not only is this an infringement on the privacy rights of individuals using decentralized technology, it would push this entire, burgeoning technology offshore.” The activists warned that this “midnight decision” of the Biden administration would cripple the DeFi sector, not only imposing a burden on entrepreneurs but posing an existential threat to the industry. No wonder the announcement of the White House support for the Broker DeFi Rule cancellation was met with much enthusiasm. A very important step to undo a very damaging Warren-era policy – one that destroys small blockchain projects and strangles any tax revenue that the industry would otherwise produce.— Bill Hughes : wchughes.eth 🦊 (@BillHughesDC) March 4, 2025 该规则被废除的可能性有多大？ 经纪商 DeFi 规则与现任政府的亲加密货币立场不一致。它与保持加密货币行业私密性并免受政府监控的目标相矛盾。鉴于特朗普政府已明确禁止开发央行数字货币，废除该规则的投票将符合其政策方向。 不仅如此，在 2024 年夏天的总统竞选期间，特朗普承诺为美国的加密货币公司减税。由于收集和共享用户个人信息的需求不太可能出现，经纪人 DeFi 规则有效地将美国 DeFi 平台推向海外。考虑到这些事实，该规则很有可能被撤销。 此外，该规则本身是由美国国税局 (IRS) 提出的，唐纳德·特朗普 (Donald Trump) 表示愿意彻底废除美国国税局。Earl Carter 的相关提案已经出台。然而，现在判断这样的事情是否会发生还为时过早。不过，这是支持特德·克鲁兹 (Ted Cruz) 提出的 CRA 成功概率很高的另一个论据。 你可能还喜欢：Congressman proposes IRS elimination

The company is issuing roughly 310,000 shares and 215,000 pre-funded warrants at $46.00 per share.
