PANews reported on March 2nd, citing Cointelegraph, that Greg Cipolaro, head of research at NYDIG, stated that Bitcoin would benefit if artificial intelligence disrupts the labor market or triggers volatility, prompting central banks to ease monetary policy. He pointed out that as a "general-purpose technology," AI's impact on employment and economic growth will be transmitted to Bitcoin. If AI-driven growth is accompanied by liquidity expansion and controlled real interest rates, it will support Bitcoin; conversely, if it pushes up real yields and tightens policy, Bitcoin may come under pressure. If AI causes labor market disruptions and leads to monetary easing, the liquidity injection will benefit Bitcoin. He acknowledged that the transformation will present challenges, but expects AI to follow a "historical pattern" of technological development—integration rather than obsolescence.

Wormhole’s native token has had a tough time since launch, debuting at $1.66 before dropping significantly despite the general crypto market’s bull cycle. Wormhole, an interoperability protocol facilitating asset transfers between blockchains, announced updated tokenomics to its native Wormhole (W) token, including a token reserve and more yield for stakers. The changes could affect the protocol’s governance, as staked Wormhole tokens allocate voting power to delegates.According to a Wednesday announcement, three main changes are coming to the Wormhole token: a W reserve funded with protocol fees and revenue, a 4% base yield for staking with higher rewards for active ecosystem participants, and a change from bulk unlocks to biweekly unlocks.“The goal of Wormhole Contributors is to significantly expand the asset transfer and messaging volume that Wormhole facilitates over the next 1-2 years,” the protocol said. According to Wormhole, more tokens will be locked as adoption takes place and revenue filters back to the company.Read more
