On March 31, F2Pool co-founder Wang Chun took to social media to share: "Back in 2015, I used 2,900 bitcoins to buy an apartment in Naklua—northern Pattaya, Thailand. It was my first home ever. I only lived there for about two years before relocating to Bangkok, then Seoul, and later Europe. This was also the spot where I personally built and launched our Zcash mining pool. Just yesterday, I sold that apartment for 7 bitcoins. Life goes on, and I’ll miss Pattaya."

March 31 (Reuters) — Nasdaq announced it will roll out a series of new rules, including accelerating the inclusion of newly listed large companies in its Nasdaq 100 Index, to cut the time lag for firms to join the core U.S. stock benchmark. With high-valuation tech firms like SpaceX and OpenAI gearing up to go public, the exchange operator is seeking to streamline the IPO process to address concerns over the sharp decline in the number of U.S. public companies. Meanwhile, onerous disclosure requirements and listing costs have eroded the appeal of going public, prompting big startups — such as Stripe and Databricks — to stay private longer than previously typical.

On March 31, a strategist at UBS said the prolonged Iran conflict and high oil prices could signal the end of gold’s rally. Joni Teves, precious metals strategist at the Swiss lender, told reporters in an interview last Friday that investors may be witnessing the final stage of gold’s bull market. “We believe the gold price cycle is broadly aligned with the Fed’s policy cycle, so we expect the rally to fade gradually by year-end, with prices consolidating at lower levels over the next few years,” she noted. Teves added that UBS’s base case calls for gold to hit new highs later this year—after a period of consolidation and amid ongoing fund inflows. “That said, the ongoing Middle East conflict could trigger significant shifts in the macroeconomic outlook and policy expectations, which would alter gold’s medium- to long-term trajectory,” she warned.
