DePIN project Solix DePIN completes $29.5 million financing, led by Eclip Foundation , DePIN startup Solix announced the completion of a $29.5 million financing led by Eclip Foundation. This round of funds will be used to accelerate the development of its MODEL CONTEXT PROTOCOL (MCP) technology, which enables intelligent bandwidth sharing without affecting the user's Internet experience. Solix allows users to share idle bandwidth through browser extensions and receive rewards. It currently covers 63 countries around the world and processes an average of 275TB of data per day. Its MCP protocol dynamically allocates bandwidth through real-time contextual data, taking into account both network performance and user experience, and is considered an important technological breakthrough in the DePIN track.

The real reason why stocks have dropped is because almost all of them have shown their Q1 estimates are expected to be worse. Why would stocks have gone up Q1 if 5/7 of even the Mag 7 stocks all showed declines. Announced months ago $AMZN 🔻 $AAPL 🔻 $META 🔻 $GOOG 🔻 $TSLA 🔻

Bitcoin’s current cycle shows strong similarities to the structural resets seen in both 2017 and 2021. Key market indicators, like the relationship between Bitcoin and market volatility (BTC/VIX ratio) and the total crypto market capitalization on weekly charts, are showing alignments similar to those seen near previous important market shifts. These past major price adjustments acted as more than just downturns; they effectively reset the market before subsequent major upward trends began. Looking at the bigger picture, Bitcoin’s price history reveals a repeating multi-year structure. Typically, strong upward legs driven by widespread excitement eventually end in steep price drops (historically sometimes over 80%-85% from the peak). Following these major drops, were the quieter periods where, dedicated long-term investors used to steadily keep buying, laying the groundwork for the next significant climb. Examples include the lows reached around $200 after 2013, near $3,000 after 2017, and around $16,000 following the 2021 peak. Related: Why Bitcoin Needs More Than Just LTHs Starting to Buy for a Real Rally The 2025 structure now shows a familiar rhythm: after topping above $100,000, Bitcoin dropped sharply to below $80,000, driven by macroeconomic stress and heightened geopolitical risks. Importantly, this pullback has brought prices into zones where significant buying emerged in past cycles, potentially preparing the ground for the next upward trend. Bitcoin is currently trading near $85,050, working its way back up from recent lows of $74,436. On the 4-hour chart, the price has pushed above the descending trendline, now in the immediate overhead supply concentrated between $84,200 and $85,700. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) sits around 59.58, suggesting moderate buying energy present without the market being excessively overheated. Fibonacci retracement levels, for instance, offer clearer targets: $85,700 (0.786), $88,700 (1.0), and $97,600 (1.618), with potential upside to $111,900 (2.618) if the trend continuation is confirmed. A daily close above $88,000 stays as the critical threshold for bullish validation. On the downside, key support levels sit at $82,000, followed by $79,900 and $77,800. The market structure, coupled with on-chain indicators and historical cycle patterns, suggests Bitcoin may be entering a pressure build-up phase ahead of another expansion. However, confirmation will depend on volume, breakout strength above $88,000, and the sustained return of institutional buying. If history repeats, Bitcoin’s path to $150,000 might already be underway. Disclaimer: The information presented in this article is for informational and educational purposes only.

With 440 million pounds of plastic waste entering the world’s oceans annually, plastic waste has emerged as one of the most urgent global environmental concerns of the twenty-first century. In order to address this problem, VeChain has teamed up with 4ocean, an organization dedicated to the removal of plastic waste from oceans and coastlines. To date, 40 million pounds of ocean trash have been removed by 4ocean. The partnership was officially launched in a beach cleanup in Miami that was also attended by the UFC Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). The cleanup was utilized as a showcase for Cleanify dApp, a decentralized application that operates on the VeBetter ecosystem and VeChain’s blockchain network. Through this collaboration, all the trash collected from oceans, rivers, and coastlines will be tracked and verified on the blockchain with assured accurate records of environmental impact. Tokenized “Sustainability Proofs” will also be stored on-chain, providing immutable data to verify cleanup activities. VeBetter will reward individuals and communities with B3TR tokens, creating a blockchain-facilitated incentive for sustainability action and also encouraging participation. With transparent and tamper-proof documentation, this platform also precludes greenwashing, cultivating greater stakeholder trust and ensuring real environmental progress. “This partnership is a perfect match of mission and tech. By combining 4cean’s remarkable track record of ocean conservation with the blockchain technology of VeChain, we’re creating new opportunities for people to engage with and verify the impact of some of the world’s largest environmental cleanup efforts,” commented Sunny Lu, CEO and Founder of VeChain. 4ocean has carried out cleanup operations in a variety of countries across different continents, from the United States to the Caribbean, Asia, Africa, and Europe. As the announcement explains , VeChain and 4ocean will start a series of sustainability initiatives in 2025. To significantly contribute towards environmental rebirth, the duo will focus on removing 300,000 pounds of plastic and waste from rivers, beaches, and oceans. They will run an 11-month sustainability sweepstakes from February to December with prizes to promote participation globally in order to encourage community involvement. On top of this, the partnership will also include limited-edition 4ocean x VeChain merchandise, the proceeds of which will go directly towards ocean cleanup projects. “When purpose is the motivation for action, meaningful change is achieved. In our partnership with VeChain, we’re removing 300,000 pounds of plastic from the ocean, which is equivalent to 14.4 million plastic water bottles. We’re committed to exploring blockchain technology to assist in our tracking and verification processes, enabling even greater transparency into our cleanup initiatives,” said Alex Schulze, CEO and Co-founder of 4ocean. Currently, VET’s token has increased its value by 8.14% in the last 24 hours to trade at $0.02189 while its trading volume has also increased by 32.27% to $76.31million.

In a recent interview with Paul Barron, Chainlink CEO Sergey Nazarov provided valuable insights regarding U.S. crypto regulations and the increasing influence tokenization exerts on the global financial system. Nazarov emphasized that the regulatory speed in the U.S. is accelerating under the Donald Trump administration and that this may have important consequences for crypto markets worldwide. During the interview, Nazarov acknowledged the challenges faced by regulators, stating, “People in D.C. are starting to understand this. The problem is that they’re moving quickly to catch up, which everyone in the United States and everyone interested in crypto should be very positive about because the U.S. is what’s known as a ‘super regulator’ that is followed by other regulators.” Nazarov highlighted that despite ongoing deglobalization trends, the U.S. remains a central force in financial regulation. Other jurisdictions, including Dubai, Singapore, and Hong Kong, often align their frameworks with U.S. policies to maintain compatibility with the American financial system. According to Nazarov, key regulatory efforts in the U.S. are currently focused on stablecoin legislation, which aims to establish clearer guidelines for issuance, reserve requirements, and market structure reforms, which seek to define how digital assets are traded and regulated. One of the new achievements in the history of regulatory clarity was settling the four-year legal battle between Ripple and the SEC, determining that XRP is not a security, a ruling that not only legitimized XRP further but also created precedent for other cryptocurrencies. In the meantime, the SEC’s Crypto Task Force has also been conducting roundtable discussions around tokenization and asset classification, with CNF reports indicating that prominent industry actors such as Coinbase, Uniswap, and Cumberland have also been invited to participate in more meaningful regulatory dialogues on April 11. With blockchain-based transactions becoming the cornerstone of modern financial markets, the founder claimed that first-rate tokenized assets will be the norm. He went on to say that Chainlink’s decentralized oracle network is already making this a reality through the delivery of data integrity, transparency, and interoperability. For context, Chainlink’s decentralized oracle network provides smart contracts with access to real-world data securely. Additionally, its Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) enables the safe exchange of data between different blockchain networks, and tokenized assets can be transferred from one blockchain to another without any hassle. Chainlink’s Proof of Reserves ensures that tokenized representations of real-world assets such as stablecoins, commodities, or securities are fully collateralized and are open to being observed in real-time. During the discussion, Sergey also highlighted the effectiveness of the Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE), which was launched at SmartCon 2024. CRE supports the free composition of smart contracts from various blockchains and Oracle networks with ease, and thus, tokenized financial products can easily be created in compliance with regulatory requirements. At press time, Chainlink’s native cryptocurrency, LINK, is priced at $12.32, up 10.57% in the past day but down 3.24% in the past seven days.
