Ronaldinho Gaúcho announced the launch of the one and only official meme token, known as STAR10. The token already started trading with decentralized pairs on the BNB Smart Chain. Ronaldinho’s token is already live and trading. The new asset, STAR10, was launched on the BNB Smart Chain, reflecting the trend of moving away from Solana (SOL). Ronaldinho held the ball on launching a meme, after the general celebrity trend had already passed. This time, the STAR10 token aims to tap renewed demand for high-profile memes on BNB Smart Chain. The token announced its official CA as 0x8B9ABDD229ec0C4A28E01b91aacdC5dAAFc25C2b. Trading is already gaining speed on PancakeSwap. The token was launched independently and was not a part of the Four.meme ecosystem. The launch arrives just three days after Ronaldinho teased he may launch a celebrity meme token . Ronaldinho’s token went through rapid rallies, but whales used the price expansion to sell. | Source: Dexscreener. Ronaldinho’s interest in crypto also spread to the NFT space, as he released the Shirtum collection. The collection is expected to start minting after March 28. Previously, Ronaldinho collectible cards have been minted as NFTs unofficially. Whales lock in gains with the first STAR10 pump STAR10 behaved as a usual meme token, launching with a sub-penny price and rising to $0.38. Later, the asset sank again to $0.27. For the first 10 hours of trading, the token’s pool locked in more than $20M in liquidity. The token onboarded 9,335 buyers already, most of them directly through the PancakeSwap pairing. Whales were already selling into the rally, as the top trader liquidated all tokens, locking in $1.5M in gains. The selling happened during the initial climb of STAR10 from its lows, just after the trading started. The whale was also one of the first sniper addresses , which bought the tokens seconds after the launch. The top whale’s wallet was created 77 days ago, but became active only after February 20. The wallet was mostly busy with BNB meme tokens, with a strategy of rapid buying and selling. STAR10 switches off ownership-renouncing code Just hours after the launch of STAR10, the crypto community noticed a worrying feature of the token. The smart contract auditors at Go Plus Security noted the token contained code that allowed the issuer to retain ownership and burn any of the previously sold tokens. STAR10 does not follow the chief rule of on-chain ownership – that it is censorship-free and cannot be centrally revoked. With STAR10, any buyer can have their assets revoked and burned without warning. While this is a usual feature for some tokens, freezing and burning meme assets has not been noticed before, even for celebrity tokens. ⚠️ SECURITY ALERT ⚠️ @10Ronaldinho ‘s STAR10 coin has a serious security risk! GoPlus found that the owner can burn ANY holder’s tokens at will. Since ownership has not been renounced, all tokens are at risk of being destroyed without warning. To @10Ronaldinho team: Please… pic.twitter.com/XLrU671nbi — GoPlus Security (@GoPlusSecurity) March 3, 2025 There are no official warnings that the holder has the power to change a user’s balance at will. There is also no plan for a fair launch or allocation, as STAR10 was sniped and early retail buyers essentially transferred their liquidity to whales. After the code’s flaws came to light, the Ronaldinho team responded immediately. Through an X statement, the team announced the feature has been revoked and ownership is now immutable, with no centralized control. The announcement arrived after Binance’s founder Changpeng ‘CZ’ Zhao reiterated the warning of the potential to burn tokens through a team-controlled contract. Paradoxically, a mention by Zhao drove STAR10 to rally again, trading above $0.30. STAR10 behaves like an insider project Less than a day after its launch, the STAR10 token was already getting shorted by traders, who expect a much larger price drop. The reason was the residual skepticism for celebrity tokens, which end up using fans as exit liquidity. The token’s site promises some utility for holders, including token-based games and additional airdrops. However, the immediate launch on a DEX and the early sniping undermined the idea of long-term holders. Even in the early hours of trading, buyers had to absorb 25% losses. The other big problem is that STAR10 looks like it was sniped by a concentrated group of whales, suspected to be insiders. An estimated 80% to 86% of the supply is held in those wallets and sold to the market, putting pressure on the price. The team stated initially that its allocation would be locked for 30 days , with the option to extend the holding period. Later, Ronaldinho’s team announced the liquidity will be locked forever. However, this did not solve the issue of snipers and early whale buyers, who may have been aware of the upcoming launch.

It happened – Donald Trump named five cryptocurrencies that will form the US strategic reserve. Beyond Bitcoin ($BTC), the US government will buy Ethereum ($ETH), Solana ($SOL), Cardano ($ADA), and XRP ($XRP). $ADA surged 43% in response to the news. Other reserve cryptos saw more moderate increases: $XRP grew by 14%, $SOL by 12%, $BTC by 7%, and $ETH by 6%. The broader market, too, did a 180-turn after Friday’s dip . Trump’s choice of altcoins wasn’t random. The four have the largest market caps among all cryptocurrencies, only excluding stablecoins and $BNB (why the reserve doesn’t include $BNB is an entirely different question up to discussion). Besides, Ethereum boasts the most mature dApp ecosystem, Solana has the most active wallet addresses (over 3M, likely due to its popularity among meme coin traders), and XRPL is the most viable alternative to traditional bank payment systems like SWIFT. It’s no wonder the government sees the native coins of these networks as blue-chip investments. As for $ADA, its parent network Cardano prioritizes regulatory compliance and an academic, peer-reviewed development approach, which aligns perfectly with governmental needs. We share the three best altcoins to buy before the bull run comes into full force. 1. Solaxy ($SOLX) Helps Solana Scale Up Without Compromising Performance The Solana ecosystem is poised for even faster growth now that $SOL has become part of the national stockpile. However, the network isn’t ready to handle an influx of new crypto projects. Sudden activity spikes (like when the Trump couple launched their meme coins) often cause network congestion, resulting in slow or failed transactions. Solaxy ($SOLX) could be the next crypto to explode because its Layer-2 solution aims to speed up verification and lower fees on Solana. It uses Ethereum’s rollup architecture to bundle transactions and offload them to its side chain for processing before returning them to the main layer. The $SOLX token presale raised over $24.7M and is now approaching the next milestone, after reaching which the token price will increase. This means now is the last chance to buy $SOLX at $0.001652 per token. Analysts predict $SOLX to hit $0.032 if it secures listings on Tier-1 exchanges, which is plausible given its role in enhancing Solana’s scalability. 2. BTC Bull Token ($BTCBULL) Rewards Its Loyal Holders $BTC Airdrops BTC Bull Token ($BTCBULL) is the only meme coin that rewards its HODLers with $BTC airdrops. When (not if) $BTC hits $150K and $200K, investors holding $BTCBULL in the Best Wallet app will receive a $BTC airdrop. The project also plans a massive $BTCBULL airdrop when $BTC reaches $250K. To drive price appreciation, BTC Bull will burn a part of $BTCBULL tokens when $BTC hits $125K, $175K, and $225K price targets. Early adopters can maximize their potential returns with a 137% dynamic staking APY. The yield will decrease as more investors join the pool, so now is the time to take the bull by the horns. $BTCBULL had enormous early success with $1M raised in two days, which makes it one of the best presales in 2025 . One token now costs $0.00239, but the price will increase once the project hits the $3.6M fundraising milestone. 3. Algorand ($ALGO) Might Be the Next Addition to the US Crypto Reserve $ALGO, the native token of institutionally-focused blockchain Algorand, is a strong contender to join the US crypto reserve in the future. Think of it – Algorand bears many similarities with Cardano and XRPL. It’s highly scalable, secure, and suitable for enterprise and government-grade applications like identity management and CBDCs. The project has already partnered with Koibanx to develop El Salvador’s blockchain infrastructure and worked with the Marshall Islands on their digital currency ($SOV). On top of it, Algorand was founded by a Turing Award-winning cryptographer from MIT. Academic foundation and US origin could earn it bonus points from Trump’s administration. $ALGO now ranks #42 among all cryptocurrencies, with a modest 11% yearly increase. However, the broader bull run might benefit the token’s price and help it rebound to its former heights of $2-$3. Strategic Reserve Legitimizes Crypto Trump’s administration has fundamentally changed the crypto market. No longer is it a playground for outcasts – it’s now a legitimate part of the national financial infrastructure, recognized at the highest levels of power. While the five cryptos that form the backbone of the US strategic reserve might be the safest investments, altcoins like $SOLX , $BTCBULL , and $ALGO could bring their holders greater returns due to their lower market caps. But as we’re entering the new bull run, remember that no gains are guaranteed. Always DYOR and diversify your portfolio to offset potential losses (even the government spreads risk across five tokens instead of going all-in on $BTC).
Anatoly Yakovenko, co-founder of the Solana project, has recently referred to the current state of bitcoin and its utility.

The Ethereum ecosystem is undergoing significant changes as researchers and developers propose new solutions to address centralization concerns and enhance network efficiency. The Ethereum Foundation recently announced a new leadership structure, appointing Hsiao-Wei Wang and Tomasz Stańczak as co-directors to guide the network’s transition into a more scalable and resilient system. Meanwhile, a new research proposal suggests decentralizing Ethereum’s block-building process through a shared random algorithm, aiming to reduce Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) concentration and improve transaction fairness. Ethereum Foundation Announces New Leadership Amid Growing Ecosystem Challenges The Ethereum Foundation has officially unveiled a revamped leadership structure, appointing Hsiao-Wei Wang and Tomasz Stańczak as co-directors. Wang, a long-time researcher at the Foundation, and Stańczak, the CEO of Nethermind—one of the most widely used execution clients on Ethereum—are set to assume their roles on March 17. The announcement, made on March 1, shows Ethereum’s need to transition from an early-stage experimental network to a globally adopted, censorship-resistant financial and software base layer. “Over the next few years, the Ethereum ecosystem needs to navigate the challenging transition from being an early-stage project serving a small number of enthusiasts to being a robust, permissionless, censorship-resistant base layer of the global finance and software stack,” the Ethereum Foundation stated. This shift in leadership comes at a crucial moment as Ethereum faces increasing pressure from competing high-throughput blockchains, the rise of Layer-2 scaling solutions, and a fluctuating market environment. Hsiao-Wei Wang brings seven years of research experience within the Ethereum Foundation, focusing on Ethereum’s proof-of-stake consensus and the development of Ethereum 2.0. She has been an integral part of the transition to Ethereum’s proof-of-stake network and has played a role in the development of critical upgrades like EIP-4844 (proto-danksharding) and the upcoming Dencun hard fork. Tomasz Stańczak, on the other hand, has led Nethermind, an Ethereum execution client that has grown from a small-scale project to one of the most influential infrastructure providers in the Ethereum ecosystem. His leadership has been instrumental in optimizing Ethereum’s execution layer, ensuring that it remains competitive amid a rapidly evolving blockchain landscape. With their combined expertise in protocol research, execution layer development, and organizational scaling, the duo is expected to guide Ethereum through its next phase of expansion while addressing the concerns raised by developers, investors, and the broader community. Ethereum’s Challenges: Price Volatility, Layer-2 Expansion, and Competition While Ethereum remains the dominant smart contract platform, it is currently facing several key challenges: Market Struggles: Ethereum’s price has struggled to reclaim previous highs. The bear market has led to declining investor sentiment, with many questioning whether Ethereum’s long-term value proposition can sustain itself amid macroeconomic uncertainties. Layer-2 Scaling Concerns: Ethereum’s push for Layer-2 adoption has led to fears that rollups and sidechains are cannibalizing demand for Ethereum’s mainnet. Solutions like Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, and zkSync process millions of transactions daily at a fraction of the cost, potentially reducing the need for high-value transactions on the Layer-1 Ethereum network. Competitor Chains: Ethereum is facing growing competition from high-throughput blockchains like Solana, Aptos, and Sui, which offer faster transaction speeds and lower fees without requiring Layer-2 solutions. The rise of these alternative networks has led some developers and users to explore alternative ecosystems that offer a more seamless experience. Recognizing the challenges ahead, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin laid out a comprehensive strategy for strengthening Ethereum’s long-term sustainability in a Jan. 23 blog post. His proposal includes: Increasing blob count to enhance Ethereum’s data availability and reduce transaction costs on rollups. Encouraging Layer-2 solutions to contribute fees to Ethereum’s base layer, ensuring that Layer-1 remains economically sustainable. Exploring new revenue streams for the Ethereum Foundation to reduce reliance on direct ETH sales. This strategy aligns with the Ethereum Foundation’s latest financial maneuvers, which include depositing 45,000 ETH (approximately $120 million) into decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols like Aave, Compound, and Spark to generate yield. The move was widely praised by the Ethereum community, as it demonstrated that the Foundation is actively seeking sustainable funding mechanisms beyond just selling ETH into the open market—a practice that has previously raised concerns about price suppression. Boosting Ethereum’s Marketing and Social Media Presence Beyond technical improvements, the Ethereum Foundation has increased its focus on marketing and institutional outreach to ensure Ethereum’s long-term success. On March 1, longtime Ethereum developer Danny Ryan and Vivek Raman launched Etherealize, an initiative focused on marketing Ethereum to institutional investors. The Foundation has also been hiring for a social media manager to revamp Ethereum’s online presence and engagement strategy. With these new efforts, the Ethereum Foundation is aiming to attract more institutional investors, developers, and users while addressing concerns about Ethereum’s long-term scalability and competitiveness. As Wang and Stańczak take over leadership responsibilities on March 17, all eyes will be on how they navigate Ethereum’s path forward. Their success will depend on their ability to: Strengthen Ethereum’s Layer-1 economics while ensuring that Layer-2 solutions remain contributors rather than competitors. Maintain Ethereum’s decentralization and censorship resistance despite increasing regulatory scrutiny. Accelerate innovation to keep pace with new-generation blockchain networks offering superior performance. With the Dencun upgrade expected to roll out soon and Ethereum’s next major roadmap milestones under discussion, this new leadership era marks a critical turning point for the Ethereum ecosystem. Will Ethereum solidify its dominance as the world’s premier smart contract platform, or will new competitors chip away at its market share? The answer will depend on how effectively the Foundation and its new leaders adapt to the evolving crypto landscape. Ethereum Researcher Proposes “Decentralized Random Block Proposal” to Combat MEV Centralization A new research proposal aims to decentralize Ethereum’s block-building process by implementing a shared random algorithm, addressing concerns that Ethereum’s Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) ecosystem has become overly centralized. Pseudonymous Ethereum researcher Malik672 introduced the ”Decentralized Random Block Proposal” (DRBP) on March 1, suggesting that this new system could eliminate MEV at the block level, improve transaction propagation speeds, and fully democratize block proposal rights across the Ethereum network. While Ethereum's transition to proof-of-stake (PoS) and the Proposer-Builder Separation (PBS) model have helped redistribute MEV concentration, they have also led to increased centralization among builders and relays. According to recent data, just two block builders—Beaverbuild and Titan Builder—controlled nearly 80% of all Ethereum blocks in early October 2023. “This system flips that: block-building spreads to thousands of clients globally, fully democratizing the process. No single entity dominates—unlike PBS’s builder pool or a centralized mixer—and Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT) mitigates mempool variance, ensuring robustness,” Malik672 stated. Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) refers to the profits block proposers can extract by reordering, including, or censoring transactions before they are finalized on-chain. While MEV has become an integral part of Ethereum’s transaction dynamics, it has led to a variety of profit-driven manipulation strategies, including: Front-running: A trader pays a higher gas fee to have their transaction processed before another, exploiting price movements. Sandwich attacks: A transaction is placed between two others to manipulate asset prices for profit. Arbitrage and liquidations: Bots aggressively search for arbitrage opportunities across decentralized exchanges (DEXs). Although Ethereum’s PBS model was designed to separate the roles of block proposers and block builders—reducing centralization among Ethereum’s validators—the result has been an unintended concentration of power among specialized MEV block builders and relays. Ethereum Foundation researcher Toni Wahrstätter recently highlighted that in the first two weeks of October 2023, 88.7% of Ethereum blocks were built by just two entities—Beaverbuild and Titan Builder. While this figure has since dropped to 80%, it remains significantly higher than what the Ethereum community considers acceptable for a decentralized network. “The current model undermines Ethereum’s decentralized ethos, as MEV exploitation disproportionately benefits a select group of entities at the expense of average network users,” Malik672 warned. Under Malik672’s proposal, all Ethereum clients—not just specialized block builders—would participate in block construction. Instead of builders competing based on the highest fees extracted from MEV strategies, blocks would be proposed using a cryptographically random selection process. This method ensures fairness, reduces centralized control, and eliminates MEV-driven manipulation while maintaining Ethereum’s trustless and permissionless principles. To ensure network security and consistency, the system would leverage Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT) mechanisms, which allow consensus to be reached even if a fraction of participants behave maliciously. BFT would play a crucial role in: Preventing mempool variance, ensuring all clients receive the same transaction data before block construction. Eliminating the need for centralized builders, since block selection would be random. Reducing censorship risks, as no single entity would have ongoing control over block ordering. Ethereum’s current slot time is 12 seconds, meaning a new block is produced every 12 seconds. However, under DRBP, slot times could be reduced to just 6-8 seconds, enhancing transaction throughput and network efficiency. This would mark a significant improvement in Ethereum’s scalability—especially as the network prepares for Danksharding, which will require a more optimized block propagation mechanism. Ethereum’s Technical Roadmap and the Push for Faster Upgrades The proposal comes amid broader efforts within Ethereum’s core developer community to accelerate the network’s upgrade cycle. On Feb. 13, Ethereum developers and researchers agreed to implement upgrades at a faster cadence to prevent stagnation in the network’s development. One of the key focuses is Ethereum’s Layer-2 scalability through Danksharding, which will introduce “blob-carrying transactions” to improve rollup efficiency. Malik672's proposal aligns with this vision by ensuring that Ethereum’s base layer remains competitive while Layer-2 solutions continue to scale. Ethereum researchers and developers have welcomed discussions about decentralizing block building, but some have raised concerns about implementation challenges. Critics argue that: A cryptographically random selection process could introduce security risks if not properly designed. BFT mechanisms require significant computation overhead, which might impact the efficiency of validators. Ethereum’s builder ecosystem relies on strong economic incentives—removing these could disrupt existing MEV marketplaces. Despite these concerns, proponents believe that a decentralized block-building mechanism is necessary to preserve Ethereum’s core values of permissionlessness, trustlessness, and decentralization.
Mutuum Finance (MUTM) is rapidly gaining popularity among investors, with its presale selling at a fast pace. In 96 hours, 40% of the second phase has already been sold, which shows high demand for the project. With over $1.8 million raised and over 3,500 holders locked in, the token’s initial success shows growing confidence in its long-term potential. Priced now at $0.015, investors have an opportunity to invest before further price increases in the later phases. With hype building momentum, some are looking towards MUTM as a potential portfolio addition before it goes public. Mutuum Finance (MUTM) Mutuum Finance presale is constructed in 11 phases, and the cost goes up as the various phases progress. Already in phase two at $0.015, the token will eventually reach $0.06 when it launches, giving early investors a minimum of 400% return before it hits the exchanges. With demand picking up, analysts project that soon after listing, MUTM can experience a 1,400% increase based on strong fundamentals and increasing usage. The presale amount now stands at 1.82 billion tokens and has sold over 150 million tokens as of now. The fact that the initial phase was covered in less than two weeks and the second one is progressing so fast indicates mounting confidence in the project’s promise. Mutuum Finance is a decentralized lending and borrowing platform that enables users to access liquidity without selling their crypto holdings. The protocol is designed to provide financial flexibility through its peer-to-contract (P2C) and peer-to-peer (P2P) lending models. P2C Lending: Users deposit assets into liquidity pools and earn passive income through interest that adjusts dynamically based on utilization rates. P2P Lending: Users directly engage with each other, allowing them to negotiate their terms and access funds not available within the standard pools of lending funds, including non-traditional assets like meme coins DOGE or PEPE. For the suppliers, the mtTokens are their holdings, which continue to appreciate as the interest continues to accumulate. For instance, if a user deposited $9,000 USDT into the lending pool, it would be given back in mtUSDT tokens at a 1:1 ratio. Over time, their balance grows through the protocol’s dynamic interest rates, allowing them to withdraw a greater amount than originally deposited. Borrowers can, however, utilize their holdings without selling. For example, an ETH holder of $1,000 can collateralize it and borrow 75% of its value in USDT. As long as they have sufficient collateral, they can use the borrowed funds without missing out on the price appreciation of their original ETH holdings. All Mutuum Finance transactions are conducted through audited smart contracts to offer transparency and security. Smart contract audit of the platform is conducted by a well-known cybersecurity firm, providing users with extra confidence. By removing middlemen, this automation reduces transaction fees and speeds up borrowing and lending. Mutuum Finance has a buy-and-distribute system that promotes price stability and incentivizes long-term holding. Some of the revenue generated on the platform is used to buy back MUTM tokens from the market. Tokens are distributed to mtToken stakers, creating sustained buy pressure and constant demand. The system maintains market stability by reducing selling pressure and rewarding genuine investors. In addition to its lending model, Mutuum Finance is developing an overcollateralized stablecoin for higher liquidity and better borrowing options. Secured by the U.S. dollar and built on the Ethereum platform, this stablecoin ensures every loan to be completely collateralized. In contrast to decentralized equivalents, it will be minted when used as collateral and burned when loans are paid back, achieving a balance between supply and demand. This method increases security while allowing customers to tap into liquidity without having to dispose of their holdings. As a token of appreciation for the initial investors, Mutuum Finance is organizing a $100,000 giveaway with the opportunity to win tokens. The giveaway is accessible through social media engagement and referrals with full details being on the website. With a strong financial model, expanding user base, and real lending use cases, Mutuum Finance is positioning itself as one of the top DeFi players of 2025. The development of the presale at pace, combined with expert projections for a 1,400% rise after its launch, creates an attractive target for both initial and long-term investors. As the platform grows, those who lock in their MUTM tokens at the present presale rate can potentially be in a great position for massive gains when the token hits exchanges.

The post Binance Delisting Non-MiCA Stablecoins in Europe USDT, DAI, PAXG & More appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News Binance, one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges, has announced plans to delist nine stablecoins in Europe by March 31 to comply with new European Union regulations. While users in the EEA will no longer be able to trade these stablecoins, Binance will continue to offer custody and conversion services. Binance Delisting 9 Non-MiCA stablecoins The European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulations aim to bring stricter oversight to cryptocurrencies, particularly stablecoins. In response to this, Binance has announced changes to its platform for users in the European Economic Area (EEA). Starting from March 31, Binance will restrict trading for non-MiCA-compliant stablecoins, affecting major assets like: USDT (Tether) FDUSD TUSD USDP DAI AEUR UST USTC PAXG After this date, spot trading pairs involving these stablecoins will be completely removed, meaning users in the EEA will no longer be able to buy or sell them through Binance’s spot market. What Happens to Existing Stablecoin Holdings? Although trading will be restricted, Binance has assured users that they can still hold, convert, and withdraw their non-compliant stablecoins. To comply with regulations, Binance is encouraging users to convert these assets into approved alternatives, such as USDC (issued by Circle) or Eurite (EURI), or into fiat currencies like the euro. These stablecoins meet MiCA’s requirements and will remain available for trading on the platform. Binance is also advising users to take proactive steps to transition any holdings under Binance Earn, Dual Investment, and Binance Loans from non-compliant stablecoins to MiCA-approved ones before the March 31 deadline. Binance’s Compliance Efforts The decision to delist these stablecoins aligns with Binance’s broader strategy to comply with MiCA regulations. The exchange has been making adjustments to its operations across Europe, including modifying its deposit and withdrawal procedures in Poland earlier this year. Binance is still working towards obtaining a MiCA license, which would allow it to continue operating in full compliance with the new regulatory framework.

Berachain denied rumors of upcoming 10 million token unlock this week. Berachain ( BERA ) staff pushed back against claims of a 10 million BERA token unlock this week. The rumor gained traction after Tokenomist included BERA in a list of tokens with upcoming large-scale unlocks. To put it into perspective, 10 million BERA represents 2% of the token’s total supply. Specifically, Tokenomist reported that Berachain is gearing up for a linear token unlock exceeding $1 million per day in the next seven days, placing BERA among other tokens preparing for large-scale unlocks, with a total unlocked value of over $132.1 million. Source: Tokenomist , made by WuBlockchain As the news spread, concerns over a potential BERA dump emerged, linking BERA’s recent price performance to the upcoming sell-off. $Bera There is ONLY one reason why this crap is pumping !!
