According to Jin10, Paolo Pizzoli from ING highlights in a report that the escalating Middle East conflict could negatively affect Italy's economic growth this year. In the fourth quarter of 2025, Italy's GDP grew by 0.3% quarter-on-quarter. Pizzoli states that the future growth prospects for Italy's economy will largely depend on the developments in the U.S.-Iran conflict and the broader Middle East situation, as well as their spillover effects on the energy market. He notes that Italy's reliance on energy imports is relatively high, and Italian companies are already paying higher energy prices compared to most European counterparts. The Iranian conflict and its ripple effects on the energy market could significantly slow economic growth in the first half of 2026, making the previous annual growth forecast of 0.8% appear overly optimistic.

In February, Solana's blockchain recorded stablecoin transactions totaling $650 billion, marking a historic high and the highest level among all blockchains for the month. According to Odaily, this figure more than doubled the previous peak from October last year. A research report by Grayscale Investments, using data from Allium, attributes the surge to increased retail demand for on-chain payments, which has significantly boosted stablecoin activity. The report highlights Solana's shift from primarily meme coin transactions to SOL and stablecoin trading pairs, indicating a rise in payment use cases. Standard Chartered previously noted that Solana's low transaction costs are aiding its expansion into micropayments and native internet financial applications. In terms of market share, Solana currently ranks as the fourth largest stablecoin supplier across all networks and is second only to Ethereum in USDC circulation. Analysts suggest that while Ethereum continues to dominate the stablecoin and real-world asset sectors, stablecoins may become a crucial pillar for the maturity of the Solana network.

Oil futures experienced a slight decline following U.S. President Donald Trump's proposal to provide fiscal and naval support to protect shipping in the Persian Gulf. According to Jin10, concerns over prolonged trade disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz have eased. Ritterbusch and Associates noted in a report that Trump's plan to ensure tanker safety and provide escorts seems reasonable, but bureaucratic, financial, and legal issues may slow its implementation. The firm added that the market still needs evidence of reduced military activity or diminished Iranian attacks, stating that the longer the conflict persists, the slower the eventual price decline will be.

MYX Finance has experienced a significant decline, losing 95% of its value over the past month. According to NS3.AI, this downturn is attributed to sustained investor selling and bearish positioning in the futures market. Despite a 24% increase in whale holdings, the overall market sentiment remains negative. Further declines are anticipated if key support levels are breached. Recovery for MYX Finance is contingent on broader market improvements and breaking critical resistance at $0.399, which could potentially target $1.005.

The Sui blockchain has introduced its native stablecoin, USDsui, which is issued by Bridge, a company recently acquired by Stripe. According to NS3.AI, the yield generated from the assets backing USDsui will be utilized to bolster the Sui ecosystem. This will be achieved by either buying back and burning SUI tokens or by incentivizing decentralized finance (DeFi) activities. This approach marks a departure from the traditional model of stablecoin issuers, who typically retain all generated profits.
