4E: US Stock and Crypto Markets Rebound, Focus This Week on US February PCE Price Index

2025.03.24 11:00:34

March 24th. Based on 4E monitoring, during the past week, the dovish remarks from the Federal Reserve and President Trump's statement regarding flexibility in the tariff plan successively boosted stock market confidence. After significant fluctuations, the three major indices closed up collectively for the week: the Dow increased by 1.2%, marking the largest weekly gain in more than two months; the S&P 500 rose by 0.51%, ending a four-week losing streak; the Nasdaq rose slightly by 0.17%, halting the previous four-week decline. However, large-cap tech stocks generally closed the week in a lower position, with Nvidia down by 3.26%, Tesla down by 0.53%, and experiencing a consecutive nine-week decline. The cryptocurrency market witnessed fluctuations but overall showed a mild upward trend. Bitcoin dipped below $81,000 on Tuesday and then rebounded. It surged above $87,000 on Thursday following the dovish comments from the Fed and hit a two-week high. After that, it oscillated around the $84,000 level. This morning, it experienced another rapid increase and was trading at $85,721 before the deadline, with a 3.18% increase in the past 7 days. Other major altcoins saw slight gains, with Ethereum striving to hold above $2,000, and the on-chain meme trend of BNB continued to attract attention. Signs of a market recovery are emerging, and investor sentiment is improving. In the commodities market, the US dollar index rose by 0.34% for the week, marking its first weekly gain this month. Tensions between Russia and Ukraine and in the Middle East continued to escalate, resulting in a more than 2% increase in crude oil prices for two consecutive weeks. Spot gold rose by 1.31% last week, extending a three-week upward trend. Last week, the Federal Reserve maintained interest rates unchanged, in line with market expectations, with the guidance for two rate cuts still in place for the year. Powell's remarks also brought some comfort to the market. This week, the focus is on the release of the Fed's preferred inflation measure - the PCE Price Index on Friday. Additionally, as the April 2nd "tariff deadline" approaches, market caution remains due to uncertainty. However, once the tariff outlook becomes clearer, the ongoing market turbulence of recent weeks may start to subside. As a financial trading platform that supports cryptocurrency, stock indices, commodities such as gold, and forex assets, eeee.com recently launched a USDT stablecoin financial product with an 8% annualized return, providing investors with a potential hedging option. 4E reminds you to be aware of market volatility risks and to allocate your assets rationally.

Mastercard has obtained two cryptocurrency patents, which enable money laundering risk assessment prior to transaction processing.

According to South Korean media outlet Digital Asset, filings with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) show Mastercard secured two U.S. patents on local time November 3, covering "digital asset transaction pre-processing" and "private transaction processing method and system" respectively. The first patent analyzes the on-chain historical behavior of payers and payees before actual transfers, and calculates changes to the sender’s own risk score post-hypothetical transaction, letting users decide whether to proceed. The second handles transactions within a private group of approved participants, with a central approval system verifying balances and authorizations, preventing double-spending and unauthorized transfers without public disclosure of transaction details. The report cites Mastercard’s view that on-chain counterparty identities and reputations are difficult to verify, and accidental dealings with wallets linked to money laundering or terrorist financing could trigger regulatory scrutiny, asset freezes and other risks. The two technologies share a focus on pre-transaction risk control and constraints on information disclosure and approval authority. Mastercard launched its Stablecoin Security service for stablecoin payments on October 19; it remains unclear if these patents will be directly integrated into the product.

Anthropic's IPO has faced weak demand, with investors demanding a valuation cut to $1 trillion, as the firm's annualized revenue just surpassed $80 billion in October.

Beating AI Express News: Following a sell-off in tech stocks, Anthropic’s initial public offering (IPO) is facing valuation pressure. The Wall Street Journal reports that three large institutional investors planning to participate in the IPO view the previously expected $1.5 trillion valuation as still too high, with one suggesting it should be cut to roughly $1 trillion. Anthropic’s revenue continues to grow rapidly. Insiders reveal that as of the end of October, the company’s annualized revenue run rate exceeded $80 billion, up from just over $65 billion at the end of July—an increase of $15 billion in three months. Investors hold differing views on the IPO plan: Some want to wait to review October’s financial results before deciding whether to accept a valuation reduction; one investor proposed trimming the fundraising size from the previously anticipated $100 billion to around $80 billion; another suggested delaying the IPO if market weakness persists, waiting for conditions to improve before going public. These views are only feedback from potential buyers to the company, with final decision-making power lying with Anthropic and its underwriters. However, if large institutions are unwilling to subscribe at the original valuation, Anthropic will have to reconsider its offering price, fundraising scale, and even the timing of its IPO.

Alpine Warns That OpenSSH Password Authentication Can Be Bypassed With A Single Click

According to Alpine Linux’s official security advisory, its openssh-server package has a password authentication bypass vulnerability in builds where PAM is not enabled. Attackers who can connect to the SSH port can log in in a single attempt without a correct password under specific conditions. The required conditions include: PasswordAuthentication is enabled, an account with a password field set to *, and at least one account on the local machine with a $5$ or $6$ hash. Attackers can submit an extremely long passphrase to a passwordless account to successfully authenticate. Affected versions cover Alpine 3.21–3.24 and edge (verified by the official), as well as end-of-life versions 3.16–3.20. Systems using openssh-server-pam with UsePAM set to yes, or those that have disabled password login, are not impacted. No CVE has been assigned as of press time. The official states the root cause is tied to two factors: borrowing salt values from other accounts when PAM is disabled, and musl’s crypt() function returning * for extremely long passphrases. OpenSSH 10.6p2 and patch packages for all stable branches have fixed the issue. Advisories recommend running `apk upgrade` immediately and restarting the sshd daemon, as upgrading only the package will not replace the running active daemon. If an upgrade is not immediately feasible, disable password authentication. Notably, the alpine user in the official tiny-cloud image has a password field set to * and allows passwordless doas access, which could be exploited to gain root privileges if a $6$ hash exists on the local machine.

CZ responds to Elon Musk’s meme: “Never expected it would drop this much”

CZ responded to Elon Musk's "CZ meme" on social media with another meme "Arrow in the knee", hinting at "didn't expect it to drop so sharply" or "didn't anticipate the meme being used here". BlockBeats Note: The "Arrow in the knee" meme originates from an NPC line in the game *The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim*: "I used to be an adventurer like you, until I took an arrow in the knee." After the game became a massive hit, the meme spread widely and evolved into a versatile "turning point template" used to lament an unexpected event that creates a gap between prior expectations and current reality. Musk is a fan of *The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim* and has publicly expressed his love for the game on multiple occasions.
