Sky Protocol is a decentralized finance (DeFi) base protocol built with a modular architecture. By separating stablecoins, governance, yield strategies, and application layer features into distinct, composable modules, it allows each component to function independently while collaborating seamlessly. This design significantly increases the flexibility and innovation potential of the entire financial system.

Sky (SKY) is a decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol built on a modular financial architecture, aiming to create a scalable, governable, and highly composable on-chain financial system through a multi-layered ecosystem and a dual-token mechanism. In contrast to the conventional single-protocol approach of typical DeFi projects, Sky utilizes its Stars sub-ecosystem and modular design, enabling diverse financial applications to run on a unified infrastructure and share liquidity, governance, and technical frameworks.

SKY is the primary governance token of the Sky Protocol ecosystem, playing an essential role in protocol governance, ecosystem incentives, and value capture. Through token-based voting and on-chain governance mechanisms, SKY holders are empowered to participate in protocol parameter adjustments, vote on upgrade proposals, and shape the ecosystem’s development direction—ensuring that the protocol’s evolution is progressively driven by the community.

OpenClaw is an open-source AI agent framework that surged in popularity in 2026. It operates locally and integrates with large-scale models to automate tasks. This article offers an in-depth examination of OpenClaw’s underlying mechanisms, technical architecture, use cases, ecosystem, and potential risks.

OpenClaw has sparked a surge in AI Agent adoption, progressing from the "raise lobsters" community to enterprise automation solutions. AI is advancing beyond conversational tools to become an execution system. However, this transformation brings new security risks and changes in economic structures, leading people to reconsider the future of work and technology.

Starting with the prospect of SpaceX potentially filing for an IPO in June 2026, this article examines how the Musk-founded aerospace giant has become a central focus in capital markets. The report leverages analysts’ forecasts and the company’s business structure to discuss Starlink’s revenue contribution, valuation expectations, and future growth potential, while also evaluating the risks of heightened volatility and Musk dependency that could emerge post-IPO.

CoinGecko's annual data shows that in 2025, DEX perpetual contract trading volume skyrocketed by 346% to $6.7 trillion, while CEX holdings fell by 20.8%. Platforms like Hyperliquid have emerged among the global top ten, accelerating the crypto market's transition from centralized exchanges to on-chain financial infrastructure.

A simulation study shows that in an environment where economic agents can autonomously choose monetary instruments, the majority of AI models preferred Bitcoin as their primary currency, while traditional fiat currencies were not selected as the top choice by any major model. This experiment reveals the intrinsic evaluation logic of AI agents regarding monetary attributes—Bitcoin is favored in long-term value storage scenarios, while stablecoins are preferred for payments and settlements.

The OpenClaw bot is taking the Polymarket prediction market by storm, with some accounts generating monthly revenues in the tens of thousands of dollars. This article analyzes automated arbitrage, weather trading, and large language model inference strategies, examining how AI agents are transforming the structure of prediction market competition, and delves into the associated profit logic and hidden risks.

Circle leverages USDC to build a "digital dollar" infrastructure ecosystem, evolving from a stablecoin issuer into the core layer of fintech. Through partnerships with Visa, Intuit, Bybit, and others, it accelerates the integration of payment settlements and cross-border remittances with mainstream finance. Against the backdrop of regulatory tailwinds and market expansion, Circle explores pathways for large-scale stablecoin adoption and value capture capabilities.

This article illustrates the agent economy through a real-world scenario: an AI pays $0.001 in USDC to purchase data, offering a clear narrative that demystifies how the x402 protocol and ERC‑8004—two standards that may appear highly technical—work together in practice.

This article analyzes operational dilemmas: without premiums, financing is impossible; staking yields cannot cover fiat currency expenses. Strategy survives as an exception through reserves and income, while new DATs like BitMine and Forward face the risk of liquidation. It reveals to investors the structural risks of packaging premiums as products and the survival rules during bear markets.

The article emphasizes that a true breakthrough application must have an invisible wallet, no terminology, natural language, and AI risk warnings. It predicts that AI Agents will drive stablecoin infrastructure to become a mainstream necessity, transforming consumer perception from using crypto to better financial services.

Security researchers have identified that hackers are exploiting "search poisoning" to manipulate Bing AI search results, steering users toward downloading a fake OpenClaw application embedded with infostealer malware, leading to the theft of crypto assets and sensitive information. This article examines the attack methodology, technical specifics, and the broader implications for the industry.

Gate Research Institute Daily Report: On March 10, the overall cryptocurrency market rebounded, with BTC and ETH rising together.
