U.S. Senator: If Powell Is Fired by Trump, It Will Trigger a Market Collapse

On March 12th, Coinglass data shows Bitcoin’s volatility has narrowed over the past two days. Currently, funding rates across major centralized (CEX) and decentralized (DEX) exchanges reflect overall bearish market sentiment—Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other top tokens all have negative rates (see attached chart). **BlockBeats Note**: Funding rates are fees set by crypto exchanges to keep contract prices aligned with underlying asset prices, typically for perpetual contracts. They facilitate fund exchanges between long and short traders; the trading platform does not collect this fee. The mechanism adjusts the cost or profit of traders holding contracts to ensure contract prices stay close to underlying asset values. A 0.01% funding rate is the baseline: - Rates above 0.01% signal general bullish sentiment. - Rates below 0.005% indicate overall bearishness.

March 12 — Data from GitHub, the world’s largest code-hosting platform, shows the blockchain ecosystem is facing a broad developer exodus, while artificial intelligence (AI) projects are driving the platform’s growth. Since early 2025, weekly crypto-related code commits to repositories have plummeted by ~75% (from ~850,000 to 210,000), and active developers have dropped 56% to ~4,600, per analysis firm Artemis. Repositories—where devs track code, build tools, and launch new projects—are a clear barometer of software innovation trends. This contraction contrasts sharply with the broader software ecosystem’s growth. GitHub’s 2025 Octoverse report notes the platform added ~36 million developers last year, pushing total global users past 180 million, with overall code submissions up ~25% year-over-year (YoY). Most of that growth flowed into AI: GitHub now hosts over 4.3 million AI-related repositories. Over the past year, repositories importing large language model (LLM) developme

**March 12th** Per on-chain data analyst Yu Jin’s monitoring, 5 million team-owned TRUMP tokens (roughly $14.4 million) were transferred from a BitGo custody wallet to Binance 2 hours ago. These tokens are part of the 32.5 million TRUMP (≈$143 million) unlocked and moved from the team allocation wallet in early February. Of that early-February unlocked supply, 9.88 million TRUMP (≈$31.7 million) have already entered Binance.

On March 12, a user spotted that Tencent had launched a platform called SkillHub, which bulk-imported all skill packages from OpenClaw’s official skill market ClawHub—accompanied by screenshots showing extensive data sync records. The post quickly gained traction. OpenClaw founder Peter Steinberger immediately hit back, noting he’d previously received emails complaining his rate limit was “too slow for crawling.” He criticized Tencent for draining his server resources without any support, adding ClawHub’s server costs are now approaching five figures. He directly tagged Tencent’s Mixed Reality team’s official account: “Can you help chip in instead of pushing my server costs to five digits?” Tencent’s AI official account later responded publicly, framing SkillHub as a “localized skill platform built on the OpenClaw ecosystem” designed to offer Chinese users better usability and speed. Tencent emphasized it always credits ClawHub as the source and shared first-week metrics: 180GB o
