As Bitcoin continues to gain traction, alternative cryptocurrencies known as altcoins have emerged, aiming to enhance various aspects of the original Bitcoin design, such as speed, anonymity, or other features. The crypto community is speculating whether an 'altcoin season' is underway, where these alternative coins gain significant momentum alongside Bitcoin's success.

Kraken, a leading cryptocurrency exchange, has introduced a new rewards program called 'Kraken Rewards' that allows users to earn up to 10% annual percentage rate (APR) on their digital assets. The program can be activated with just a few taps within the Kraken platform, providing users with an opportunity to generate solid returns on their liquid crypto holdings.

Kraken, a leading cryptocurrency exchange, has announced the addition of two new margin trading pairs: RNDR (Render Network) and FET (Fetch.ai). This expansion allows traders to gain exposure to these tokens through leveraged positions, in addition to the existing 120+ margin pairs available on the platform. However, it's important to note that geographic restrictions may apply.

Kraken has announced the availability of $HNT (Helium) with deposits enabled. Trading for HNT will commence on March 14, with some geographic restrictions in place.

Kraken's tweet points out that Bitcoin is consolidating above the old All Time High before the halving, which is unprecedented. The tweet also suggests that people are still early to the game.

Kraken, a prominent cryptocurrency exchange, has clarified that the claim of 100% of Bitcoin holders being in profit is false.

The highly anticipated Ethereum Dencun upgrade is set to go live in two days. This upgrade introduces EIP-4844, also known as Proto-Danksharding, which aims to significantly reduce gas fees for Layer 2 (L2) rollups by improving data availability. The new feature allows transactions to carry binary large objects (blobs) of up to 125 Kilobytes, which are stored on the Beacon chain temporarily. This approach is more cost-effective for L2 rollups compared to using calldata. While Proto-Danksharding is an intermediate step, it lays the foundation for full Danksharding, which is expected to enable Ethereum to process millions of transactions per second in the future.
