Trump Moved Markets Overnight, a $25M “Secure” DeFi Project Broke, and Crypto Thinks It Can Fix the Power Grid: This Week on Unchained

Good last Sunday of March!

This week, Circle lost almost $10 billion in market cap.

CRCL dropped 20% after a draft of the CLARITY Act spooked markets into thinking stablecoin yield was dead. And then it dropped again on Friday, amid a broader market downturn.

But that reaction may be missing something important.

So we wrote an article that explains:

🏦 why the market is confusing issuer vs. distributor
🔁 how this bill could actually increase Circle’s margins
⚖️ whether this is a real risk… or a mispriced opportunity

Plus: a full valuation breakdown for CRCL.

Also, here’s what we unpacked this week on Unchained on Air:

• 🤖 AI Agents Are Coming. But Who Gets Paid?
  As merchants turn into code, the real battle isn’t cards vs. stablecoins. It’s who captures value in an agent-driven economy.

• 🌍 Trump Shocked Markets. Bitcoin Ripped.
  A last-minute Iran ceasefire crushed oil and sparked a BTC rally, only for it to pull back. With the Fed divided and inflation sticky, is this a real “Trump put” or just another head fake?

• 💥 A $25M Exploit Audits Didn’t Catch
  One key. One bug. Millions gone. The Resolv hack exposed how fragile DeFi still is and why “audited” may not mean safe at all.

• ⚡ The Power Grid Is Breaking. Crypto Wants In.
  Power grid is overwhelming a 150-year-old system, billions in energy are wasted, and one crypto company thinks token incentives can fix it.
