March 25th — On-chain sleuth ZachXBT reported that Circle has frozen the USDC balances in 16 hot wallets belonging to multiple businesses. The freeze stems from an undisclosed U.S. civil lawsuit, with details confirmed directly to ZachXBT by one of the affected businesses. ZachXBT noted the wallets — tied to exchanges, casinos, forex platforms, and other operations — have no apparent connection to each other, raising questions about whether Circle conducted a thorough review before honoring the freeze request.

On March 25, Stijn Vander Straeten—CEO of Crypto Finance, a Deutsche B?rse subsidiary—said traditional banks are at least five years behind crypto-native platforms in decentralized finance (DeFi) innovation. Large institutions typically wait for regulatory clarity before entering related markets, so full DeFi adoption by banks could still take 5 to 10 years, he noted.

**March 25th Crypto Update** Per market data, TAO is surging—breaking above $330 and now trading at $337.84. The token has a 13.6% 24-hour gain and a nearly 94.9% jump over the past month. Veteran Silicon Valley angel investor and podcast host Jason Calacanis—known for early bets on Uber, Robinhood, and Calm—reiterated his "TAO > BTC" call on social media yesterday. Calacanis founded Stillcore Capital, a fund focused on Bittensor ecosystem subnet projects, and has long been bullish on TAO. On March 10th, Bittensor’s Templar (SN3) subnet completed the largest decentralized LLM (Covenant-72B) pretraining in history. Community backers argue this milestone proves Bittensor isn’t just a "concept coin"—it’s decentralized infrastructure capable of building top-tier AI models.
