Analysts: ECB expected to pause after cutting interest rates twice this year

survey of institutions showed that analysts interviewed expect the European Central Bank to cut interest rates twice again this year, and no longer expect the bank's rates to fall below 2%. The monthly survey shows that after six rate cuts so far, the European Central Bank may still cut rates in April and June. However, unlike the previous survey, respondents expect the deposit rate (currently at 2.5%) to remain at 2% by the end of the survey period. In mid-February, a slight majority had expected rates to eventually drop to 1.75% by March 2026. European governments plan to significantly increase defense spending, which could boost sluggish economic growth and exacerbate inflation.

Shenyu: Strategy amplifies Bitcoin's high volatility by 2.5 times and passes it to the U.S. stock market. Professional institutions use this high volatility for arbitrage

according to Cobo co-founder and CEO Shenyu's analysis, Strategy (MSTR) cleverly amplifies Bitcoin's high volatility by 2.5 times and transmits it to the US stock market. Professional institutions use this high volatility for arbitrage to gain short-term profits; MSTR obtains cash for hoarding a large amount of Bitcoin through issuing convertible bonds and ATM issuance; ordinary shareholders bear the risk of severe stock price fluctuations and short-term declines, but passively receive "Bitcoin income" with more Bitcoin per share; Bitcoin holders benefit from continuous market capital inflows and rising Bitcoin prices.

Star: Will work with industry partners to develop control standards and continue to combat abuse

On March 17th, OKX CEO Star stated that "OKX DEX is being upgraded, and aggregator trading services are temporarily suspended."

In the future, OKX will continue to work with global partners to establish industry control standards. Star emphasized that OKX DEX aggregator does not touch or store user private keys, nor does it custody user funds.

Many well-known companies also provide similar aggregator services, but OKX Web3 has greater influence in the industry due to community support.
