According to CoinDesk, El Salvador has reached a cooperation agreement with Paraguay on cryptocurrency regulation. This is the second international crypto regulatory agreement signed by the country in three months. It has previously reached a similar agreement with Argentina. The agreement was signed by Paraguayan anti-money laundering agency SEPRELAD and the National Digital Asset Commission of El Salvador (CNAD) last Friday, aiming to strengthen cooperation between the two sides in crypto industry regulation, unauthorized crypto business detection, and anti-money laundering compliance. It is worth noting that the Central Bank of Paraguay has previously stated that cryptocurrencies are not authorized by it, reminding the public to be cautious in interacting with non-regulated entities. The agreement may mean that Paraguay is considering learning from El Salvador's single digital asset regulatory system.

According to the latest GENIUS Act 2025 released by the U.S. Senate, the updated bill specifically expands the "Reciprocity for Payment Stablecoins Issued in Overseas Jurisdictions". The U.S. Secretary of the Treasury is required to reach bilateral agreements with countries with similar stablecoin regulatory frameworks to ensure coordination of reserve requirements, supervision, anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism measures, sanctions compliance standards, liquidity requirements and risk management standards. This reciprocal arrangement must be completed within two years of the bill's entry into force to promote international transactions and enhance interoperability with overseas payment stablecoins denominated in U.S. dollars. In addition, the bill explicitly excludes licensed payment stablecoin issuers from the scope of "commodities" defined in the Commodity Exchange Act, further clarifying regulatory responsibilities.

According to Cointelegraph, the total value of cryptocurrencies locked in DeFi protocols (TVL) has completely given up its previous gains since Trump was elected as the US president in November 2024. Analyst Miles Deutscher pointed out that since the US election, DeFi TVL soared to $138 billion on December 17, but fell back to $92.6 billion by March 10. As the meme coin craze faded, Solana became a target of public criticism, but Ethereum has also faced challenges in the recent cycle and failed to set a new all-time high, while Bitcoin broke through $109,000 on the day of Trump's inauguration (January 20). DefiLlama data shows that Ethereum's TVL has fallen by $45 billion from its cycle high. Despite positive developments in the industry, such as the launch of spot ETFs in the United States and Trump's signing of an executive order to establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve, Ethereum's all-time high of $4,787 in November 2021 has not been broken so far.

According to Jinshi, BTC Inc. CEO David Bailey, one of dozens of insiders invited to the recent Trump Crypto Summit, proposed on social media that the president's two ideas could be combined to increase crypto reserves without spending a penny. Bailey said that many elites in emerging markets want to live in the United States, but it is difficult to transfer $5 million abroad. Bitcoin provides a simpler, safer and more cautious solution, and it should be considered that Trump's proposed "Gold Card" plan can be paid with Bitcoin. If the government really takes this step, it should send another clear signal to the world that the United States is serious about incorporating Bitcoin into its internal policies.

According to Decrypt, Geoff Kendrick, global head of digital asset research at Standard Chartered, proposed that the U.S. government could buy Bitcoin in several budget-neutral ways when implementing President Trump's latest executive order. Kendrick elaborated on these strategies, noting that they would avoid "additional costs to American taxpayers," which Trump had already banned when he established a strategic Bitcoin reserve on Thursday. Kendrick wrote in a research report last Friday that the Trump administration could do so by "selling gold," using the U.S. Treasury's so-called Exchange Rate Stabilization Fund (ERF), or incorporating a budget-neutral plan into the 2024 Bitcoin Act proposed by Senator Cynthia Lummis. According to the World Gold Council, the U.S. government currently holds 8,133.46 tons of gold reserves. At current prices, this batch of gold is worth about $758 billion.

According to CoinShares' latest weekly report, digital asset investment products have seen outflows for the fourth consecutive week, totaling $876 million. Although this indicates a slowdown in the pace of outflows, investor sentiment remains bearish. Cumulative outflows over this period now stand at $4.75 billion, reducing year-to-date inflows to $2.6 billion. Affected by the combination of falling prices and continued outflows, total assets under management (AuM) fell $39 billion from its peak to $142 billion, the lowest point since mid-November 2024. Regionally, U.S. investors were the most bearish, withdrawing $922 million, while most other regions saw this as a buying opportunity, most notably Switzerland, Canada, and Germany, with inflows of $23 million, $14.7 million, and $13.3 million, respectively. Bitcoin was the main focus, with $756 million of outflows last week, although short Bitcoin also saw outflows of $19.8 million, the largest outflow since December 2024. Multiple altcoins also saw outflows, most notably Ethereum ($89 million), Tron ($32 million), and Aave ($2.4 million). Conversely, Solana, XRP, and Sui continued to see inflows, totaling $16.4 million, $5.6 million, and $2.7 million, respectively. Blockchain-related stock ETPs also failed to escape the negative sentiment, with $48 million in outflows last week.
