U.S.-based digital asset infrastructure provider Ripple has partnered with Nigerian fintech startup Chipper Cash to support cross-border payments into Africa using Ripple Payments. The partnership enables Chipper Cash’s millions of customers to receive funds from around the world at any time of day. According to a statement, the partnership significantly reduces the time and friction involved in moving value into Africa. Additionally, using digital asset rails ensures that fees for transferring funds across borders will be considerably lower. Reece Merrick, managing director for the Middle East and Africa at Ripple, described the partnership with Chipper Cash as a key milestone in the company’s expansion into Africa. He added: By integrating our technology into Chipper Cash’s platform, we’re enabling faster, more affordable cross-border payments while driving economic growth and innovation across the markets they serve. With over a decade of experience in tokenizing real-world assets, Ripple’s journey began by bringing fiat currencies on-chain to simplify international money transfers. As the global cross-border payments market grows, more institutions like Chipper Cash are tapping into the transformative power of blockchain technology to drive efficiency and innovation. Ripple, the statement explained, is well-positioned to provide financial institutions with essential tools for tokenization, storage, exchange, and movement of digital assets. Specifically, Ripple Payments is said to offer extensive global coverage across more than 90 payout markets, handling over 90% of daily foreign exchange volume exceeding $70 billion. Ham Serunjogi, co-founder and CEO of Chipper Cash, said crypto-enabled payments not only support financial inclusion but also help African businesses and individuals gain access to global markets. He added that the partnership with Ripple exposes Chipper Cash customers to the benefits of blockchain technology. “By integrating with Ripple’s global payments network, we are excited to harness the transformative potential of blockchain technology to enable consumers to receive payments faster and at lower costs,” Serunjogi said. 免责声明：本文章仅代表作者个人观点，不代表本平台的立场和观点。本文章仅供信息分享，不构成对任何人的任何投资建议。用户与作者之间的任何争议，与本平台无关。如网页中刊载的文章或图片涉及侵权，请提供相关的权利证明和身份证明发送邮件到support@aicoin.com，本平台相关工作人员将会进行核查。

Bitcoin’s price hovered above the $87,000 mark as the crypto industry turned its attention to Thursday’s confirmation hearing of incoming SEC Chairman Paul Atkins. Market data also showed that Circle’s flagship stablecoin product USDC topped $60 billion in market capitalization for the first time ever, which likely bodes well for bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. The leading digital asset is currently valued at $87,052.87, reflecting a modest 0.33% gain over the past 24 hours and a 2.78% increase over the last seven days, according to data from Coin Market Cap. ( BTC price / Trading View) Bitcoin traded within a 24-hour range of $85,861 to $88,292, suggesting continued volatility as investors assess macroeconomic factors and upcoming regulatory developments. The asset’s market capitalization now stands at $1.72 trillion, up 0.32% since yesterday. Trading volume has seen a slight dip, registering at $27.06 billion, down 5.49% over the past 24 hours. Meanwhile, bitcoin’s market dominance, as tracked by Trading View, declined slightly by 0.11% to 61.71%, indicating that some capital is flowing into alternative cryptocurrencies. ( BTC dominance / Trading View) In the derivatives market, total bitcoin futures open interest has slipped 1.08% to $54.72 billion, per Coinglass data. Liquidations over the past 24 hours totaled $51.86 million, with long positions accounting for $32.06 million, while short liquidations stood at $19.80 million. This suggests that bullish traders faced more pressure as bitcoin briefly dipped before stabilizing. Investors are closely watching developments at the SEC where Paul Atkins is set to be confirmed as the new chairman on Thursday. Atkins, known for his pro-business stance, is expected to bring a more favorable regulatory environment for bitcoin and the broader digital asset industry. “A top priority of my chairmanship will be to work with my fellow commissioners and Congress to provide a firm regulatory foundation for digital assets through a rational, coherent, and principled approach,” Atkins said. His leadership could result in clearer guidelines for bitcoin ETFs, custody rules, and institutional bitcoin adoption. Adding to the bullish sentiment, Circle’s USDC has reached a record $60 billion market capitalization. The growth of USDC highlights increasing stablecoin adoption, suggesting heightened institutional and retail interest in digital assets, which could provide further tailwinds for bitcoin’s price action. 免责声明：本文章仅代表作者个人观点，不代表本平台的立场和观点。本文章仅供信息分享，不构成对任何人的任何投资建议。用户与作者之间的任何争议，与本平台无关。如网页中刊载的文章或图片涉及侵权，请提供相关的权利证明和身份证明发送邮件到support@aicoin.com，本平台相关工作人员将会进行核查。

The possibility of a U.S. recession in 2025 has ignited fierce debate among economists, financial institutions, and policymakers, with forecasts split between warnings of an imminent downturn and projections of continued growth. At the heart of the discourse lie conflicting interpretations of trade policies, market indicators, and the resilience of the U.S. dollar. A recession is typically defined as two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth, though the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) also considers broader factors like employment and industrial production. As of March 2025, the economic landscape remains fraught with uncertainty. President Donald Trump’s tariff policies, coupled with fluctuating consumer confidence and market volatility, have intensified scrutiny of recession risks. Economist Peter Schiff, CEO of Euro Pacific Capital, has emerged as the most vocal proponent of a 2025 recession. Just recently, Schiff warned of a looming U.S. dollar crisis that could crash the economy, triggering soaring consumer prices and long-term interest rates. His prediction hinges on a collapse in confidence in the dollar, which he argues is overvalued and vulnerable to a sharp correction. Unlike many peers, Schiff’s stance is absolute, insisting a recession is inevitable rather than probabilistic. Other experts have adopted a more measured approach. Bruce Kasman, JPMorgan’s chief global economist, assigns a 40% chance of a 2025 recession, citing risks from trade policies and potential damage to the U.S.’s exorbitant privilege as the global reserve currency. Similarly, Yardeni Research, led by economist Edward Yardeni, raised its recession odds to 35% in March 2025, noting rising anxieties but stopping short of insistence. Both emphasize that economic forecasting remains inherently uncertain. In contrast, the Federal Reserve’s March 2025 projections paint a brighter picture, forecasting 1.9% GDP growth for the year. The Fed’s baseline scenario dismisses recession concerns, pointing to steady employment and industrial output. However, its GDP Now model flagged a potential Q1 2025 contraction of 1.5%, sparking brief alarm. Officials caution that a single quarter of negative growth does not equate to a recession, though it underscores the fragility of current forecasts. The UCLA Anderson Forecast has linked recession risks directly to policy outcomes. Economist Clement Bohr warned in March 2025 that fully implementing Trump’s proposed tariffs and federal job cuts could trigger sector-wide contractions. Meanwhile, analytics firm Expana predicted a global recession beginning in spring 2025, driven by synchronized slowdowns in major economies. Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley have also downgraded U.S. growth forecasts, though their recession probabilities remain lower. Moody’s Analytics chief economist Mark Zandi highlighted rising mortgage delinquencies among homeowners with Federal Housing Administration-backed loans as a potential red flag. The Conference Board’s Consumer Confidence Index, meanwhile, fell sharply in early 2025, reflecting dwindling short-term expectations for incomes, business conditions, and employment. Financial institutions like HSBC, Citi, and Barclays have downgraded U.S. equity outlooks, citing tariff-related uncertainties and their drag on corporate earnings. As of March 27, 2025, speculative traders on Polymarket’s prediction platform calculate a 39% likelihood of America sliding into recession this calendar year. Trump’s policies loom large in recession debates. His administration’s proposed and implemented tariffs on imports, paired with cuts to federal jobs, have drawn criticism from economists who argue such measures could stifle trade, inflate consumer prices, and erode business investment. The CNBC CFO Council reported that 60% of surveyed chief financial officers view policy uncertainty under Trump as a key recession driver, with many bracing for supply chain disruptions. A Deutsche Bank survey pegged the 12-month U.S. recession probability at 43%, while Harvard economist Kenneth Rogoff estimates 30-35% odds, attributing risks to spending cuts and tariff fallout. Jeffrey Gundlach of DoubleLine Capital offered a starker view, placing the likelihood at 50-60%. A swelling consensus among economists and institutions raising alarms about 2025 recession threats points to deepening prudence as tectonic pressures—from dollar volatility to fractured supply chains—anchor current discussions. Though the U.S. central bank maintains guarded optimism, cautionary notes from figures like Schiff, Yardeni, and Expana, alongside major financial institutions, highlight anxieties that policy errors and waning consumer trust might trigger instability. Their collective vigilance mirrors an economy walking a tightrope between adaptability and structural stress. As authorities such as Gundlach, Rogoff, and Moody’s intensify recession warnings, 2025’s economic trajectory increasingly hinges on nimble policymaking confronting mounting challenges. Tariffs, fiscal contraction, and worldwide deceleration compose a hazardous trifecta that even upbeat projections cannot easily discount. With organizations revising growth estimates downward and families preparing for uncertainty, discussions now pivot not on whether crises will emerge, but on the magnitude with which geopolitical tremors and legislative decisions might precipitate contraction. 免责声明：本文章仅代表作者个人观点，不代表本平台的立场和观点。本文章仅供信息分享，不构成对任何人的任何投资建议。用户与作者之间的任何争议，与本平台无关。如网页中刊载的文章或图片涉及侵权，请提供相关的权利证明和身份证明发送邮件到support@aicoin.com，本平台相关工作人员将会进行核查。

Intercontinental Exchange Inc. (ICE), the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange, and fintech firm Circle Internet Group announced a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to explore integrating Circle’s USDC and USYC digital assets into ICE’s financial products and markets. The collaboration aims to leverage Circle’s $60 billion market-cap stablecoin, USDC—a digital dollar pegged 1:1 to the U.S. dollar—and its tokenized money market product, US Yield Coin (USYC), across ICE’s derivatives exchanges, clearinghouses, and data services. Jeremy Allaire, Circle’s CEO, stated the partnership could unlock major new use cases for USDC through ICE’s global network. Lynn Martin, President of the NYSE, emphasized growing trust in stablecoins as dollar equivalents, noting their potential to reshape capital markets. “We believe Circle’s stablecoins and tokenized digital currencies can play a larger role in capital markets,” she said. USDC reserves, primarily held in the SEC-registered Circle Reserve Fund (USDXX), are backed by cash and cash-equivalent assets. The stablecoin supports over 600 million wallets globally, facilitating payments, crypto trading, and store-of-value applications. Under the MoU, ICE and Circle will assess applications for these digital assets within ICE’s ecosystem, including novel derivatives, risk management tools, and tokenized financial instruments. The partnership aligns with ICE’s broader strategy to digitize workflows and expand market transparency. ICE operates major financial infrastructure, including futures exchanges, fixed-income platforms, and mortgage technology services. Circle, a stablecoin leader, explained on Thursday that it has pushed for regulated crypto adoption in traditional finance (TradFi) since launching USDC in 2018. The companies did not disclose timelines or specific product details, citing the exploratory nature of the agreement. 免责声明：本文章仅代表作者个人观点，不代表本平台的立场和观点。本文章仅供信息分享，不构成对任何人的任何投资建议。用户与作者之间的任何争议，与本平台无关。如网页中刊载的文章或图片涉及侵权，请提供相关的权利证明和身份证明发送邮件到support@aicoin.com，本平台相关工作人员将会进行核查。
