According to BlockBeats news, on March 13, according to Etherscan data, the Ethereum Dencun upgrade is expected to be activated on the Ethereum mainnet in one and a half hours, and the current epoch is 269553. The "Dencun" upgrade name is a combination of the Cancun upgrade of the Ethereum execution client and the Deneb upgrade of the consensus client. The main goal of the upgrade is to improve the scalability and modularity of the Layer 2 network, enhance the security functions of the Ethereum network, and improve Overall usability. The proposal that has received the most attention is EIP-4844 (Proto-Danksharding), which is the pre-plan for the full version of sharding expansion Danksharding. The entire set of sharding solutions revolves around Rollup for on-chain expansion, aiming to expand Layer 2 Rollup and help Layer 2 reduce fees and increase throughput, and pave the way for full sharding. According to data previously released by the Ethereum Foundation, Dencun is expected to be activated on the Ethereum mainnet at 21:55 on March 13, Beijing time, with epoch 269568.

The yield on bonds issued by U.S. blue-chip companies such as AT&T, JPMorgan Chase, and Amazon is only 0.8 percentage points higher than that of U.S. Treasuries, a premium that is close to the nearly 30-year low reached earlier this year. This means that a widening of the spread by just about 12 basis points would be enough to offset an entire year's excess return of these bonds over Treasuries.

Basent's announcement to expand Treasury repo operations has caused confusion over policy signals, directly impacting the new communication framework recently established by Federal Reserve Chairman Walsch. Walsch had urged the market to base actions on economic data rather than the Fed's own interest rate forecasts, while the Fed also uses market pricing as a reference for economic assessment. Analysts point out that if the US Treasury manages to suppress long-term yields, it may force the Federal Reserve to resume interest rate hikes.
