黄金创下 3,390 美元新高，比特币紧随其后吗？

以人工智能为主题的模因币继续主导智能货币投资组合，其中持有量最多的是 Fartcoin、Virtuals Protocol 和 Aixbt——但专家警告称，这种炒作可能不会持续。 根据 Nansen 的 Smart Money 仪表板，Smart Money 目前最大的持股是 Fartcoin (FARTCOIN)，持有 2868 万美元，由 76 名持有者持有。Virtuals Protocol (VIRTUAL) 紧随其后，持有 1104 万美元，由 97 名投资者持有，而 Aixbt (AIXBT) 排名第三，持有 474 万美元，由 63 名持有者持有。 来源：Nansen Smart Money 仪表盘 所有三个顶级代币都出现了显著的周涨幅，其中 FARTCOIN 涨幅最高，涨幅达 98%，其次是 VIRTUAL，涨幅达 25%，AIXBT 涨幅达 32%。根据 cookie.fun 的数据，这三个代币在心智占有率方面位居前 10 名 AI 代理之列，其中 FARTCOIN 占据主导地位，达 13%。这一涨幅与 AI memecoin 领域的整体复苏相一致，因为仅在过去 24 小时内，AI memecoin 的市值就增长了 8%。 你可能还喜欢：利用人工智能代理构建下一代创作者经济 | 观点 然而，尽管目前市场情绪看涨，专家们仍然对人工智能模因币的长期可行性持怀疑态度，他们认为许多此类代币只不过是借助人工智能炒作周期而出现的被美化的模因币。 Dragonfly Capital 执行合伙人 Haseeb Qureshi 认为，AI memecoin 目前处于投机阶段，但缺乏持久价值。 “这些东西并不是真正的代理。这些是附有 memecoin 的聊天机器人；除了在 Twitter 上发帖外，它们几乎没有任何代理功能，”Qureshi 在 X 的帖子中写道。 他预测，人工智能驱动的 memecoin 的新颖性将持续到 2025 年，因为加密货币投资者往往会长期关注热门话题。但他说，到 2026 年，炒作将会消退。至于收入，他解释说，这些项目可能会放弃基于 memecoin 的货币化，转而采用赞助、联盟营销和代币促销等传统收入模式。 “聊天机器人将变得无处不在，人们会对它们失去兴趣。情绪将发生逆转。看到他们最喜欢的人类关键意见领袖 (KOL) 失去生计的故事将激发一种阶级意识。用户将开始歧视人类 KOL，即使他们的内容不太一致，”他解释道。 同样，Qubic 生态系统代表 Alberto Fernández 认为 AI memecoin 是一种暂时趋势，最终将让位于更多实用驱动的数字资产。 “我认为，在接下来的一年里，我们将看到 memecoin 演变成融合娱乐和社区的生态系统。话虽如此，我相信这可能标志着 memecoin 泡沫开始破灭前的最后阶段之一，为提供不仅仅是利用社区的实用性的加密货币铺平了道路，”他说。 总而言之，虽然 Smart Money 目前正在大举押注这些 AI memecoin，但这些赌注从长远来看是否会带来回报还有待观察，但专家对此表示怀疑。 你可能还喜欢：Changpeng Zhao calls for AI agents to focus on utility instead of launching tokens

The Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500, and Nasdaq rose on Friday as investors responded positively to signs of a potential de-escalation in the ongoing tariff war between the United States and China. U.S. stocks picked up where they left off Thursday after President Trump announced a major trade deal with the United Kingdom. The Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq indices all opened in the green on Friday after U.S. President Donald Trump hinted at cutting tariffs on Chinese imports to 80%. Trump said in a Truth Social post: “80% Tariff on China seems right! Up to Scott B,” referring to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.

Santiment 的最新分析显示，加密市场历来对美联储利率决定的反应难以预测。 在 3 月 20 日的一篇文章中，Santiment 撰稿人 Brian 指出，尽管美联储的一些决定会引发反弹，但其他一些决定会导致大幅下跌，尽管政策结果相似。自美联储在 2022 年开始大幅加息以对抗飙升的通胀以来，这种模式一直存在。随着通胀率达到 40 年来的最高水平 9.1%，央行将利率从 3 月份的接近零提高到 12 月份的 4.50%。 金融市场因这一变化而受到冲击，股票和加密货币大幅下跌。到 2022 年末，比特币已从 2021 年末的 69,000 美元高点跌至 16,000 美元以下。流动性收紧，借贷成本上升，各地风险资产均受到冲击。 从那时起，加密货币市场对美联储的政策一直非常敏感。2024 年 3 月，美联储维持利率不变，比特币跃升至 72,000 美元以上，但次月大幅下跌。5 月份的类似停顿导致比特币立即回升，但 7 月份的决定导致比特币暴跌 20%，之后才稳定下来。 你可能还喜欢：108 万亿美元的全球流动性激增应该会让比特币飞上月球——那么为什么事实并非如此呢？ 去年 9 月，美联储首次降息，引发了强劲反弹。11 月，支持加密货币的选举结果和另一次降息使比特币创下历史新高。但当美联储在 12 月维持利率不变时，市场失去了动力，导致回调。 3 月 19 日举行的最新联邦公开市场委员会会议将利率维持在 4.25%-4.50% 的水平，符合预期。Santiment 指出，围绕该决定的社会讨论低于过去的会议，这表明交易员已经将其计入价格。 尽管如此，市场还是做出了积极的反应。比特币 (BTC) 上涨 4.5% 至 85,786 美元，一度触及 87,431 美元，而以太坊 (ETH) 和 Solana (SOL) 分别上涨 4% 和 6%。加密货币总市值上涨 2% 至 2.91 万亿美元，期货市场出现 3.55 亿美元的清算，主要来自空头头寸。 美联储主席杰罗姆·鲍威尔确认，今年仍预计降息两次。然而，通胀和经济增长放缓的担忧仍然存在。由于历史反应表明，最初的举措可能会产生误导，因此市场能否维持近期涨势仍不清楚。 阅读更多：这就是为什么 Uniswap、Stellar、Algorand 和 Pepe 等山寨币会上涨的原因

Web3 can give more power to online creators, enabling them to experiment without the fear of deplatforming, says new Lukso COO. Creators have long been on the mercy of centalized online platforms, like Google, Meta and Spotify. These platforms can change the rules however they see fit, impacting a creator’s reach, and earnings. Lukso (LYX) is one of the companies that hopes to use Web3 to give more power to creators. The company has recently announced appointing Jan-Oliver Sell as the new Chief Operating Officer. Sell, the former Managing Director at Coinbase Germany, shared his insights on the potentials of Web3 for creators with crypto.news. crypto.news: AI has enabled many more people to become creators. However, there are many creators who are concerned with the rise of AI and what it means for them. How does AI fit in Lukso’s vision of empowering creators?Jan-Oliver Sell: AI is reshaping creativity, but it also raises questions about authorship, attribution, and accountability. The focus with LUKSO is on giving AI systems a verifiable presence on-chain—through Universal Profiles. A Universal Profile isn’t just for humans; it can also serve as a digital identity for AI agents. This allows AI to act on-chain transparently—sign transactions, publish content, hold assets, and interact with other profiles—all under a persistent, verifiable identity. The Universal Profile can link to off-chain training data sources, reference models it was trained on, and log actions for accountability. You might also like:Building the next-gen creator economy with AI agents | Opinion Importantly, Universal Profiles are programmable and modular. Multiple people—such as developers, curators, or safety auditors—can be granted permission to manage the AI’s profile through LUKSO’s LSP6 key manager standard. This enables safe, collaborative oversight of AI agents. The profile can even build a following, earn a reputation, and evolve socially—just like a human creator. CN: How does Lukso tackle intellectual property rights, and how does that fit into the existing IP laws? JS: LUKSO is not a fixed system with a set of functionality, but like Ethereum a sandbox for unlimited ways to solve things. Like Intellectual property, which can be more transparently managed through technology. Instead of replacing legal systems, the focus is on enhancing them—allowing creators to attach licenses, metadata, and provenance directly to digital assets. This provides a clearer, tamper-proof trail of ownership and rights, helping bridge traditional IP law with the evolving digital landscape. CN: Lukso promotes itself as the blockchain for the creator economy. Can you outline the problems with centralized platforms like Instagram or Spotify for creators? JS: Centralized platforms are closed systems. They control who sees what, how creators earn, and what features are allowed. Creators are at the mercy of shifting algorithms, opaque policies, and data silos they don’t own or control. With LUKSO’s LSP smart contract standards, especially Universal Profiles, the focus is on shifting that power dynamic. Universal Profiles are fully on-chain, censorship-resistant, and publicly accessible. This means creators own their identity and content, and anyone can read or interact with that data—fans, apps, platforms, or even new protocols. No one can shut it down or shadow-ban a profile. Once published, it’s part of a shared, permissionless space. You might also like:AI flattens creativity. Blockchain is how we save it | Opinion This open foundation enables entirely new types of relationships between creators, communities, and developers. Fans can build tools on top of creators’ profiles. Artists can experiment freely without fear of deplatforming. And new protocols can emerge that treat creators as sovereign participants, not just content suppliers. It’s a better environment for innovation, freedom, and sustainable connection. CN: What are the advantages of Web3 platforms compared to centralized platforms? What are some challenges that Web3 is facing?  JS: Web3 introduces transparency, ownership, and user agency. It allows creators to monetize directly, own their audience, and operate without platform gatekeepers. However, mainstream adoption is held back by complexity—unfamiliar tools, confusing interfaces, and security concerns. That’s why I tackled it by rethinking user accounts from the ground up with Universal Profiles—bringing smart, recoverable, and user-friendly blockchain identities to the Web3 experience.What holds web3 back is not the tools and dApps, but the foundations, the pure private key account system, and the lack of a proper standardised smart contract-based account system. This is now solved and available for all web3 through the LUKSO Standards Proposals (LSPs). CN: Despite the advantages of decentralization, we have seen centralized entities consistently pop up even in the blockchain space. For instance, CEXs and memecoin launchpads, popular for their accessibility. Can decentralized platforms ever close the accessibility gap?  JS: Decentralized systems often face hurdles in scalability, speed, and user experience. These limitations have led to the rise of centralized intermediaries even within Web3—because they offer the ease and speed people are used to. But with the right standards, that gap doesn’t just close—it becomes an opportunity to leap ahead. We rebuild the user experience layer using Universal Profiles and new standards that make blockchain accounts smart, recoverable, and extensible. This transforms the user interface of Web3 into something more intuitive and powerful than Web2. You might also like:Creator economy 2.0: AI and web3 define the digital success | Opinion What truly sets it apart is composability. In Web2, apps and platforms are siloed—you can’t take Instagram and plug it into Spotify. In LUKSO’s ecosystem, you can embed protocols directly into profiles. A single mini-app can serve as a token launchpad, event ticketing system, or fan token claim tool. When embedded into a Universal Profile within UniversalEverything.io, the profile itself becomes the app: an artist’s profile becomes their ticket store, a project’s profile becomes their launchpad. This level of modularity and cross-functionality doesn’t exist in Web2. With proper standards, decentralization can not only match the convenience of centralized platforms—it can surpass it by offering greater flexibility, ownership, and creative potential. CN: What are the key areas that Lukso is focusing on to help creators?  JS: The focus with LUKSO is on building the digital infrastructure creators need to thrive—where identity, ownership, and creativity are deeply integrated into the blockchain itself. Key areas include: Universal Profiles: Smart, on-chain accounts that serve as a creator’s digital identity. They hold assets, reputation, and permissions—allowing creators to build trust, history, and interaction across any platform. Token standards (LSP7 for fungible, LSP8 for NFTs): These standards go beyond legacy formats like ERC20 or ERC721, enabling automation, real-time reactions, and seamless integration with profiles and apps. UniversalEverything.io: An open, composable frontend where creators and developers can explore the ecosystem, build mini-apps, and create new experiences for their fanbases. It’s like a living dashboard for the decentralized web—where a profile is not just a presence, but a programmable space. Together, these components form a foundation where creators aren’t locked into platforms—they own their identity, data, and audience, and they can grow their ecosystem on their own terms.
