On March 12, traders no longer fully price in a single interest rate cut from the Federal Reserve (Fed) for 2026. (Golden Ten) ### Notes on alignment with American English habits: 1. **Date format**: Added preposition *On* before the specific date (standard for U.S. English news framing). 2. **Clarity**: Replaced "one rate cut" with "a single interest rate cut" to explicitly link to the Fed’s core policy (avoids ambiguity with other "rate" references). 3. **Terminology**: Used "Federal Reserve (Fed)" (common parenthetical abbreviation in U.S. financial news) instead of just "Fed" at first mention for readability. 4. **Preposition choice**: Swapped "by the Fed" for "from the Fed" (more natural in U.S. English when describing policy actions originating from the central bank). 5. **Temporal phrasing**: Changed "in 2026" to "for 2026" (aligns with how U.S. traders/analysts refer to policy expectations tied to a calendar year).

On March 12th, Garrett Jin—tied to the "BTC OG Insider Whale"—posted on X, noting: “Oil prices have already broken out. The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) is also approaching a key level. If risk assets finally begin aggressively repricing, I wouldn’t be surprised at all. Stay cautious.”

March 12 – Per Bitget data, BlackRock’s Ethereum Staking ETF (ETHB) has officially launched on Nasdaq. As of March 12, the fund trades at $26.31, with $4.6 million in total trading volume recorded since its debut.

ETHB is BlackRock’s third cryptocurrency ETF and its first product to integrate a staking mechanism. BlackRock noted that adding staking is intended to meet investors’ demand for yield alongside ETH price exposure, while preserving the ETF’s traditional financial advantages in custody, trading, and asset allocation.

March 12th — Decentralized exchange Grvt announced today that its $GRVT token generation event (TGE) is expected to launch shortly after the end of Q2 2026, with the quarter concluding on June 30, 2026. The total supply of $GRVT is fixed at 1 billion tokens. Of this, 28% will be allocated via a community airdrop at TGE (targeting platform users and ecosystem participants)—a 6 percentage point increase from the prior 22% plan. Within the airdrop segment, the Q2 allocation has been raised from 12% to 18% to further incentivize user participation in platform trading and ecosystem activities. As the Grvt ecosystem’s utility token, $GRVT unlocks multiple platform benefits for holders, including lower transaction fees, enhanced margin efficiency, priority access to the investment treasury, and more.

March 12 – U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Paul S. Atkins announced the Commission will vote on proposals related to equity tokenization. As I’ve noted before, I expect the SEC will soon consider a targeted innovation exemption to enable limited trading of specific tokenized securities—while working to build a long-term regulatory framework. I remain open to feedback on crafting this potential exemption, which would be time- and scope-limited but with a timeline long enough to let us develop more permanent rules that fully unlock the potential of these new technologies.
