New Blockchain Dark Horse? Analysis of the ICP Project
Recently, the cryptocurrency market has once again welcomed a bullish trend, with Bitcoin breaking through a new high of 64,000 USD, and many digital currencies following suit. In this round of bull market, a project named ICP has suddenly jumped to third place in market capitalization, attracting widespread attention.
ICP stands for Internet Computer Protocol, developed by the Dfinity Foundation. This project dates back to 2015 and was once considered one of the "Four Kings" of Blockchain, but the mainnet has been delayed for a long time, earning it the nickname "King of Doves." After 6 years of development, ICP is finally set to officially launch its mainnet this April.
Dfinity's vision is to create a global distributed Internet computer system, reshaping the internet infrastructure to become a distributed cloud computing platform. It is considered one of the key infrastructures in the Web3.0 ecosystem.

Can the Runes protocol become the new mainstream issue coin standard in the crypto market?
The Ethereum ERC20 protocol, as the most widely used token issuance standard in the encryption field, has made a significant contribution to the development of the entire industry. It not only promotes the prosperity of the Ethereum public chain but also gives rise to the emergence of decentralized finance (DeFi), while providing project parties and investors with a more direct and efficient financing channel.
However, with the continuous development of the industry, emerging public chains are seeking to replicate the successful model of Ethereum to create their own token standards. To achieve this goal, new public chains need to have a sufficiently large market capitalization base, while also innovating in the issue coin protocol to gain recognition from users and the community.
In this context, the Runes protocol emerges as a new issuance coin standard on the Bitcoin network, demonstrating potential that surpasses ERC20. Its advantages are mainly reflected in the following aspects:
1. Powerful Market Capitalization

Regulatory Dynamics

This standard will be similar to the OECD's CRS for combating tax evasion. The European Commission released a proposal on November 23 and will collect public feedback before December 21. The new rules are expected to be launched in the third quarter of 2021.
2. Kazakhstan Studies Introduction of Central Bank Digital Currency
The Central Bank of Kazakhstan is researching the launch of a central bank digital currency ( CBDC ). An international survey shows that 80% of central banks have started research or pilot projects on digital currencies. The Kazakh central bank is collaborating with international organizations to study regulatory methods for digital currencies and is participating in multi-country pilot projects. Currently, it is analyzing the technical infrastructure and regulatory methods, planning to release a related report in the second half of 2021.

Coinbase Executives Discuss Network Ecosystem Expansion and Base Project Outlook
Recently, Jesse Pollak, the protocol head of a trading platform, was interviewed and shared information about the company's newly incubated open Ethereum Layer 2 network project, Base. In the interview, Pollak started by discussing his early experiences as an engineer, talked about the technical choices of the Base project, and emphasized how to achieve ecological growth.
Pollak emphasized that scaling up is itself a daunting task. When he joined the platform in 2017, he managed a team of only 4 people, and 5 years later, the team size has expanded to 200. However, an increase in personnel does not mean that management becomes easier. On the contrary, how to help newcomers quickly integrate and succeed, as well as how to cope with the technical challenges brought about by user growth, have become important components of the job.
For team expansion, Pol

The US Ethereum Spot ETF will be listed in 2024, marking Ethereum's entry into the mainstream financial world.

Ondo Finance connects traditional finance with the encryption world through the tokenization of U.S. Treasury products, such as USDY and OUSG, leading the development of the RWA track. Its innovative mechanisms continuously enhance liquidity, compliance, and market potential, with an expected future market size reaching $16 trillion.

Q1 2025 Crypto Market Review: Total market capitalization fell to $2.8 trillion
In the first quarter of 2025, the crypto market suffered a heavy blow, in stark contrast to the frenzied market conditions at the end of last year. The total market capitalization fell by 18.6% in the first quarter to $2.8 trillion, having briefly reached a high of $3.8 trillion on January 18. Meanwhile, investment activity also significantly decreased, with the average daily trading volume dropping sharply by 27.3% to $146 billion.
Amidst a downturn in the market, Bitcoin's dominance has further strengthened, reaching 59.1% by the end of the first quarter, the highest level since early 2021. The main reason is that altcoins have borne the brunt of the fall. Although Bitcoin reached an all-time high of $106,182 in January, it has fallen back to $82,514 by the end of the quarter, a decline of 11.8%.
The following is the first quarter of 2025.
