Amid continued volatility in the global economy and financial markets, precious metals like gold and silver are once again drawing investor interest. These assets serve as indicators of risk-averse sentiment in the marketplace and provide traders with diverse trading opportunities. In this article, we examine the core factors driving precious metal prices and discuss how to leverage Perpetual Futures in the Gate Metals section to engage with the market more flexibly.

As the number of AI models grows rapidly, developers face escalating challenges with integration and management costs. This article offers a comprehensive analysis of how GateRouter simplifies multi-model application processes through a unified API, intelligent scheduling, and centralized management. These features boost development efficiency and optimize cost structures.

Gate has officially integrated the prediction market into its app, enabling users to trade outcomes of a wide range of events directly. With simplified operations and a full suite of tools, the marketplace now expands from price trading to future-oriented decision-making.

The article examines the limitations of benchmark comparisons, model scale, and engineering implementation. It introduces the DeepSeek efficiency shock and the Jevons paradox to explore how efficiency innovation both squeezes short-term hardware demand and creates greater long-term opportunities for application expansion.

The article compares law enforcement data on Tether freezing over 1.6 billion dollars across 2,500+ addresses, dispelling the myth of Circle’s compliance superiority in the industry. It provides a sobering perspective for developers and enterprises building the USDC ecosystem to reassess centralized risks.

In March 2026, despite the total crypto market capitalization shrinking to $2.42 trillion due to geopolitical conflicts and hawkish interest rate hikes, the AI sector led the market with the smallest decline of just 14%. The total market capitalization of stablecoins surged to a record high of $320 billion, with monthly transaction volume reaching $1.8 trillion, demonstrating momentum that surpasses traditional payment systems. According to Token Terminal, AI drives productivity innovation, while stablecoins, acting as “internet currency,” provide instant payment settlement for AI-driven automated transactions. The deep integration of the two signals that Web3 is shifting from being momentum-driven to a year of true infrastructure transformation.

Leveraged tokens are crypto derivative assets traded on the spot market with built-in leverage mechanisms. They are designed to amplify the price movements of underlying cryptocurrency, such as BTC, offering exposure like 3x long or 3x short. Unlike traditional leveraged trading, users do not need to post collateral, and there is no risk of liquidation. The leverage level is maintained dynamically through an automatic rebalancing mechanism.

Ethereum developers have recently engaged in discussions regarding the Hegota upgrade, anticipated for release in 2026. Among the proposals, Frame Transactions attracted significant attention. However, after comprehensive deliberation, the development team concluded that the technical complexity of this proposal is currently too high, and has therefore not prioritized it for implementation. This debate underscores Ethereum’s ongoing challenge to strike a balance between improving user experience and maintaining development efficiency.

MemeCore (M) is a blockchain infrastructure built around meme assets and community-driven economies. It is designed to provide meme projects with capabilities for issuance, distribution, and ecosystem expansion. By integrating meme assets with on-chain incentive mechanisms, MemeCore aims to create a more sustainable ecosystem where meme assets rely not only on community sentiment but also on structured, long-term development.

MemeCore is a blockchain infrastructure built specifically for Meme assets, aiming to support issuance, liquidity, and community growth for Meme projects. Unlike traditional Meme Coins that rely heavily on community virality, MemeCore leverages on-chain mechanisms and infrastructure design to enable Meme assets to be created, expanded, and networked within a unified ecosystem. This structure allows MemeCore to support not just individual Meme projects, but multiple Meme assets operating within the same ecosystem.

MemeCore is designed as an ecosystem infrastructure for Meme assets, whereas traditional Meme Coins typically revolve around a single token. As Meme assets evolve from internet culture into an on-chain asset class, the market is beginning to shift from isolated Meme tokens toward broader ecosystem-based structures.

In recent years, Bitcoin has evolved from a speculative asset to an integral part of institutional portfolios. At the Digital Asset Summit in New York, Michael Saylor—founder of Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy)—introduced the Digital Credit concept and unveiled his company's STRC preferred stock offering. Designed as a low-volatility, high-return investment vehicle, the product seeks to bridge Bitcoin assets with the fixed-income marketplace, providing traditional investors with a new portfolio allocation opportunity.

MemeCore (M) is the native token of the MemeCore blockchain, designed to support network operations, community governance, and ecosystem incentives. As the foundational asset within the MemeCore ecosystem, the M token serves multiple functions, including transaction fees, staking, block validation, and community rewards. It also drives the growth of the Meme asset ecosystem through the Proof of Meme (PoM) mechanism.

At the EthCC conference in Cannes, France, Gnosis co-founder Friederike Ernst and Zisk founder Jordi Baylina unveiled a new initiative—the Ethereum Economic Zone (EEZ). Co-funded by the Ethereum Foundation, this project aims to create a new rollup architecture that allows various Layer 2 networks to synchronize and interact seamlessly with both the Ethereum mainnet and each other. By enabling cross-chain contract calls within a single trade, the EEZ seeks to resolve persistent challenges related to liquidity and fragmented user experiences across the Ethereum ecosystem.

This week’s recap highlights continued market pressure as weak sentiment and macro uncertainty kept Bitcoin and Ethereum subdued, with broader risk appetite remaining limited. Meanwhile, institutional activity, infrastructure expansion, and selective narrative-driven sectors signaled ongoing evolution across the Web3 ecosystem.
