And here we are – welcome to the new weekly crypto news digest from the Evercode Lab’s team! The crypto industry never slows down, and the past 5 days only prove it! From massive investments and market predictions to regulatory shifts and infrastructure changes – here’s everything you need to know in one quick read.
The TON Ecosystem Growth
On Thursday, the TON Foundation has successfully raised more than $400 million from major investors like Sequoia Capital, Benchmark, and Kingsway Capital. The funding aims to support the rapid development of the TON blockchain ecosystem, including DeFi, gaming, and payments, reinforcing its position as a major player in the crypto space.
Just a small thought back: in January, Telegram prohibited the development of Web3 applications on platforms other than TON, having reached an agreement with the TON Foundation, which is responsible for the development of the ecosystem.
As we can see, this impressive raise shows growing confidence in TON’s potential – it’s a project worth watching in the coming months!
Coinbase Becomes the Largest Ethereum Node Operator
And what a week for crypto without news about Ethereum! On March 19th, Coinbase, a crypto exchange, released its first Ethereum validator performance report. And, as you can see, Coinbase has surpassed its competitors to become the largest centralized operator of Ethereum nodes.
As of March 3rd, the exchanger controlled 11.42% of the total volume of tokens placed in staking, which is 3.84 million ETH. According to the report, another 581,500 ETH has been acquired through partners.
As the Coinbase’s team said, they planed to regularly publish Ethereum validator performance metrics going forward. Additionally, they would soon release similar reports for other major networks, such as Solana.
Predictions Of Bitcoin’s Bottom at $77,000
But if on previous week we talked mainly about ETH, this week the crypto world focused again on Bitcoin’s destiny. BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes shared his latest market forecast, suggesting that BTC might find its local bottom at $77,000 during this correction phase. Despite the recent dip, Hayes remains bullish long-term, hinting this pullback could be a solid entry point for investors.
According to his analysis, factors like macro uncertainty, US Federal Reserve policies, and profit-taking from institutional investors could temporarily push BTC lower. However, he remains optimistic about Bitcoin’s long-term potential, especially with growing institutional interest, and increasing mainstream adoption.
Donald Trump vs Stablecoins
And last, but not least news of this week. The USA President Donald Trump has voiced his support for a new stablecoin regulation bill, calling for clear legislation to boost crypto adoption while protecting users. The statement was made during the Digital Asset Summit 2025.
In his speech, Trump also pledged to make America the undisputed Bitcoin superpower and the crypto capital of the world. He also noted that his administration has already halted the sale of seized digital assets.
Final Thought
Well, what can we say, this week’s news paints a mixed but exciting picture, for sure! TON network is attracting big money for its development, BTC correction zones are kinda speculated, Coinbase is strengthening its grip on Ethereum’s infrastructure, and stablecoins may soon gain solid political ground in the USA! We look forward to next week’s updates in the crypto world.
