Next week’s macro outlook: Federal Reserve officials enter a quiet period before the FOMC meeting, and the CPI game is imminent
This week’s market can be said to be turbulent. Multiple factors such as repeated U.S. tariff policies, European Central Bank interest rate cuts, German fiscal reform and increased European defense spending, U.S. non-agricultural agriculture, and Powell’s speech intertwined to affect the market. Traders tried to sort out various headlines surrounding economic, tariffs and geopolitics, and the market also swayed. Starting from March 9, North America will implement daylight saving time. The trading hours and economic data release time of financial markets in the United States and Canada will be one hour earlier than the winter time. The following are the key points that the market will focus on in the new week:
At 23:00 on Monday, the United States February New York Fed’s one-year inflation forecast
At 22:00 on Tuesday, January JOLTs job openings in the United States
At 20:30 on Wednesday, the U.S. February unseasonally-adjusted CPI annual rate, the U.S. February unseasonally-adjusted CPI monthly rate, the U.S. February unseasonally-adjusted core CPI annual rate

At 22:00 on Friday, the initial value of the US one-year inflation rate forecast in March, and the initial value of the US University of Michigan Consumer Confidence Index in March

These inflation reports will be the last important piece of data before the Fed’s next meeting on March 18-19.

David Sacks opposes proposed tax on cryptocurrency transactions
In a recent All In Podcast, host Jason Calacanis proposed imposing a 0.01% tax on each cryptocurrency transaction, which is denominated on the assets transferred, purchased or sold. In response, David Sacks, White House director of cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence, clearly opposed the proposal to tax crypto transactions, arguing that such taxes often start at a “moderate” level but are easy to gradually expand to a wider scope. For example, income taxes were initially only targeted at minority groups. Crypto transaction taxes may increase the burden on users.
Texas Bitcoin Reserve Fund will be used to hold cryptocurrencies with a market value of at least $500 billion

DeFi agreement Conic Finance announced it will cease operations
Conic Finance, the Curve ecosystem DeFi agreement, announced that it will cease operations. It said: In the past few months, the core team has been developing new versions for Conic.

In the end, this left the team without complete confidence in releasing a new audit version. It was a very frustrating time, during which some core team members also decided to leave. After carefully considering the next steps of the remaining core team, it was decided that it would be best to stop the project. The current Conic deployment is operating normally and has not experienced any security-related issues. The Conic contract will remain open source on Github, including the latest changes to the ChainSecurity review.

FIFA intends to launch cryptocurrency
Gianni Infantino, president of the International Federation of Football (FIFA), said the organization may develop its own cryptocurrency tokens. When Infantino attended President Trump’s White House Cryptocurrency Summit on March 7, he expressed FIFA’s interest in creating digital tokens to interact with fans around the world. “FIFA is very interested in developing FIFA tokens, starting here, starting in the United States, to conquer 5 billion football fans around the world.” “If anyone here is interested in working with FIFA, we are here, together with the United States of America, and we will conquer the world of football with FIFA tokens.”
Although lacking specific details or timetables, the statement suggested that FIFA is exploring blockchain technology as a potential way to attract fans and generate revenue.

In fact, it could be a pretty valuable token.” The announcement comes as FIFA prepares for the 2026 World Cup, when the United States, Canada and Mexico will co-host the tournament.

Bitwise: U.S. crypto strategic reserves may trigger a domino effect, spurring other countries to launch a “BTC arms race”
Matt Hougan, chief investment officer of Bitwise, said in an investment memorandum this week that Trump has changed the rules of the game in the crypto market.

Honduras, Mexico or Guatemala are paying attention to the Bitcoin strategies of the United States and El Salvador, and all countries may promote Bitcoin to become an important global monetary asset.
