Huoxun Finance reported on February 27th that, according to Jinshi, Trump Media Technology Group (DJT.O) is discussing spinning off its assets, including the social media platform "TruthSocial," into a new publicly traded company. This comes after the company completed a $6 billion merger with nuclear energy company TAE Technologies. The company stated that the spun-off company's stock will be allocated to Trump Media Technology Group's registered shareholders before the TAE transaction is completed, and then the spun-off company will merge with the special purpose acquisition company "Texas Ventures Acquisition III." This spin-off aims to separate Trump Media Technology Group's social media business from its investments in commercial nuclear fusion, as the company hopes to leverage the huge energy demand generated by the artificial intelligence boom for its own development. Both companies noted that negotiations are still ongoing and no final agreement has been reached.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that Nisha Surendran, Head of Digital Asset Custody Development at Citibank, announced at an industry event hosted by Strategy that Citibank plans to integrate Bitcoin into its core banking business later in 2026, offering institutional-grade custody services, key management, and a wallet system.

Citibank currently manages approximately $30 trillion in assets, and this move aims to remove operational barriers to crypto assets for institutional investors such as pension funds and insurance companies. Surendran stated that the initial phase will focus on core custody functions, with subsequent expansion to include asset segregation and collateral management services.

According to Odaily Planet Daily, Vitalik Buterin stated in an article on the X platform that Ethereum scaling is divided into short-term and long-term parts. In the short term, the Glamsterdam upgrade will introduce a block-level access list to enable parallel verification, ePBS will allow for a larger proportion of time slots to be used for block verification, and gas repricing will ensure that operational costs are aligned with actual execution time. A multi-dimensional gas mechanism will be implemented in stages. Firstly, in Glamsterdam, the cost of "state creation" will be separated from the cost of "execution and calldata," with state creation gas not included in the approximately 16 million transaction gas cap. At the EVM level, a "reservoir" dimension mechanism will be introduced, prioritizing the consumption of dedicated dimension gas by default, and consuming from the reservoir when insufficient. Later, it will transition to multi-dimensional pricing, with different dimensions having different floating gas prices. Long-term scaling includes ZK-EVM and blobs. Regarding blobs, the plan is to continuously iterate PeerDAS, aiming to achieve a data processing capacity of approximately 8MB per second. In the future, Ethereum block data will directly enter the blob. The ZK-EVM rollout will proceed in phases: in 2026, validator clients supporting ZK-EVM will be available, allowing approximately 5% of the network to run; in 2027, this will be expanded to a larger proportion of a small number of nodes, while formal verification will be promoted; once conditions are ripe, it will transition to a three-out-of-five mandatory proof mechanism, ultimately continuously improving the security and formal verification level of ZK-EVM, and involving VM changes such as RISC-V.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that Minnesota Representative Erin Koegel introduced HF 3642 on February 23, proposing a ban on the placement or operation of cryptocurrency self-service terminals anywhere in the state. The Minnesota Department of Commerce has expressed strong support for the bill. The bill would repeal the regulatory framework established in 2024, replacing it with a comprehensive ban. According to data from the Minnesota Department of Commerce, the state received 70 complaints related to cryptocurrency terminals last year, reporting total losses of approximately $540,000. The state currently has approximately 350 licensed terminals, operated by 8 to 10 companies. Previous protections implemented in 2024 included a $2,000 daily transaction limit for new customers, mandatory fraud warnings, and a 14-day refund window, but regulators have deemed these measures insufficient. A January 3 report from the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center showed that over 12,000 complaints involving Bitcoin ATMs were received between January and November 2025, with total losses exceeding $333.5 million, and the majority of reported losses coming from people aged 60 and over. On February 3, Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell accused cryptocurrency ATM operator Bitcoin Depot of "willfully aiding and abetting a cryptocurrency scam," alleging that more than half of the funds handled by the company at its Massachusetts terminals between August 2023 and January 2025 were related to fraud. The global cryptocurrency ATM market is currently valued at $356.7 million by 2025, with the United States possessing over 30,000 machines, accounting for approximately 88% of the global total. If HF 3642 passes, Minnesota will become one of the first states in the U.S. to completely eliminate physical cryptocurrency terminals.

Huoxun Finance News, February 27th - According to Cointelegraph, payment giant PayPal, in partnership with MoonPay and stablecoin platform M0, has launched PYUSDx, designed to help developers create USD-pegged stablecoins backed by PayPalUSD (PYUSD) for use within specific applications, platforms, or ecosystems. The product is scheduled to officially launch next month. PYUSDx is a tokenization and issuance framework provided by MoonPay Digital Assets, independent of the native PYUSD.

It is important to note that the PYUSDx token is independent of PayPalUSD and cannot be directly used, sent, or stored in PayPal or Venmo accounts.

Huoxun Finance News, February 27th – The Ethereum Foundation announced the launch of Project Odin, aiming to help critical infrastructure teams establish diversified and sustainable funding sources and reduce their dependence on a single funding channel through a structured support mechanism.

This helps teams establish at least one repeatable "quasi-revenue" funding source, such as support contracts, service agreements, or training collaborations. The first pilot team for this program is reportedly FoundationforVerifiedSoftware.

Huoxun Finance reported on February 27th that, according to The Block, analysis from on-chain derivatives platform Derive shows that Bitcoin options traders are building positions, betting on a market bottom and a potential rebound to $90,000. Sean Dawson, Head of Research at Derive, pointed out that the market is showing signs of stabilization after weeks of uncertainty. Bitcoin volatility has fallen back to the 50% range, which is typically associated with consolidation rather than panic selling. The 25-delta skewness indicator for options sentiment has rebounded significantly from -15% in late February to around -7%, indicating that traders' defensive sentiment is weakening. Options fund flows show a large accumulation of call options with strike prices of $80,000 and $90,000 in contracts expiring on March 27th, suggesting that traders expect prices to rebound to the $85,000 to $95,000 range. However, put options remain concentrated at $60,000 and $55,000, indicating that the market maintains necessary downside protection while remaining bullish. Bybit analysts point out that although the $70,000 level still presents resistance, the recovery in market confidence, as macroeconomic policies become clearer, could fuel a strong bullish narrative.
