1. Market Environment

The price of Bitcoin has remained virtually unchanged over the past 24 hours. BTC price briefly jumped above $71,000 on Tuesday and has since retreated to around $70,700 ahead of an option expiry on Friday. Today marks the day where quarterly contracts worth up to $15 billion are up for settlement.
BlackRock's first tokenized asset fund is making a strong start, garnering a significant market share of the blockchain-based tokenized U.S. Treasury bond market just a week following its debut. As of Thursday, BlackRock's BUIDL raked in $274 million of deposits. According to RWA.xyz data, the fund is ranked second among its peers, only behind Franklin Templeton's Franklin Onchain U.S. Government Monetary Fund (FOBXX).

2. Wealth Creation Sectors

2.1 Sector movements — Base ecosystem (DEGEN)

Primary reasons:
Base network's TVL has surpassed $3 billion and is now standing at $3.12 billion. This represents a 7-day increase of 63.6% and a new all-time high. New funds are pouring in to buy assets on the Base chain, pushing up asset prices.
  • Degen has announced the launch of a low-cost Layer 3 blockchain called Degen Chain. It is powered by Arbitrum Orbit, Base for settlement, and AnyTrust for data availability.
  • The chain's native gas token is DEGEN. This move has added utility and credibility to the DEGEN token, leading to an increase in its valuation.
Gainers: DEGEN is up 70.24% in the last 24 hours.
Factors affecting future market conditions:
  • Integration of Coinbase exchange and wallet with the Base chain: Users might find it challenging to transfer assets and conduct cross-chain transactions, leading to a notable entry barrier. Currently, Coinbase Wallet supports connecting DApps on the Base chain. If Coinbase were to enable direct bridging of abstract accounts on exchanges with Base assets in the future, it would reduce entry barriers for users and expand its potential user base.
  • New-user data: According to Dune data, Base added 847,811 new users last week, representing a record high number of new users. This data shows an increase in on-chain activities and on-chain asset deposits. If Base’s new user count continues to rise, the valuation of Base ecosystem projects will also rise accordingly.

2.2 Sector movements — Solana memecoins (MEW, MYRO, and WIF)

Primary reasons:
  • Huang Licheng, also known as "Big Brother Maji", announced the launch of Bobaoppa, a meme project on Solana. The project has started raising funds with a minimum investment of 1 SOL. According to information disclosed by its fundraising address, Bobaoppa has raised over $38 million, driving the overall recovery of meme coins on the Solana chain.
  • Bitcoin traded horizontally on the option expiration date, while hot money flowed from major tokens to memecoins. WIF surged to new highs, rising 20.81% in a single day and boosting the entire sector, including MYRO.
  • Musk's response to the tweet from the user who coined the word "meme" continues to draw the market's attention to memecoins.
Price increase: MEW rose by 24.14%, MYRO rose by 15.73%, and WIF rose by 20.81%.
Factors affecting future market conditions:
  • TVL and fund inflows in the Solana ecosystem: Solana ecosystem's TVL has surpassed $4.7 billion, increasing over 100% in the past month, ranking just behind ETH, TRON, and BSC. If capital continues to flow in, the overall ecosystem's token prices will rise further. Additionally, exchanges are accelerating the listing of Solana tokens, which indirectly affects the Solana ecosystem's TVL through the flow of secondary market funds from exchanges.
  • Surge of WIF and subsequent exchange listings: WIF has paved the way for memecoins in the Solana ecosystem. The extent to which WIF rises could affect the potential price of new memecoins. It will also impact the speed at which exchanges list meme tokens.

2.3 Sectors to focus on next: Linea Ecosystem (LYNX)

Primary reasons:
1) Linea says it will launch The Linea Voyage: Surge campaign, which will begin in April and run for six months, or until the network's TVL reaches $3 billion. This round of campaign is aimed at strengthening DeFi projects and incentivizing users to earn future token airdrops by boosting its TVL. Following the campaign's launch, Linea's TVL is expected to experience a significant boost, increasing the valuation of its on-chain DeFi projects.
2) ConsenSys is known for developing products such as Linea, Metamask, and Infura. In 2022, it completed a $450 million Series D funding round led by ParaFi Capital, valuing ConsenSys at $7 billion. As a major player in the industry with significant resources and financial cloud, the airdrop rewards of ConsenSys are expected to be generous.
Specific tokens:
LYNX: Lynex is a decentralized exchange (DEX) and liquidity marketplace on the Linea blockchain. As Linea's new focus is to strengthen DeFi projects, Lynex will emerge as a direct beneficiary.

It also announced the start of Season 2 which will last for three months (from March 15 to June 30). Users who stake for longer periods will receive higher amounts of loyalty points. The Season 2 airdrop will distribute 50 million tokens, which accounts for 5% of the total token supply.
ETHFI, the native token of EtherFi, has shown strong performance recently, reaching a high of $8.6 and now standing at $7.2. This strong performance in the secondary market is drawing increased participation from users in the airdrop promotion. Restaking Paradigm, initiated by EtherFi and Manta Network, is currently underway. Users who stake ETH on Manta Restaking's official website will earn twice as many loyalty points for EtherFi Season 2 and EigenLayer points in advance.
How to participate: Season 2 of the EtherFi airdrop introduces a tiered system of eight ranks called StakeRank. Users climb one rank level for every 100 hours they stake their ETH with EtherFi. Each rank confers a progressively higher loyalty points rate boost. To continue advancing levels, a user's staking balance must remain above 0.1 eETH. Note that the rules and conditions of StakeRank are subject to change, so participants should stay tuned for updates on EtherFi.

The project completed a $5.6 million seed round at a valuation of $57 million, with investment from INCE Capital, Hashkey Capital, and Folius Ventures.
To participate in the airdrop, users can register an account on the official website and earn shell credits by completing daily tasks, such as creating a Telegram bot. The upcoming airdrop rewards will be based on these shell credits. The token exchange for credits is currently in its seventh season, and participation is still open.
