Pump.fun Introduces Tokenized Staking Buyback Functionality

Pump.fun officials noted that on-chain AI agents are gaining rapid traction, creating a need for tools to accelerate the agent economy on the platform. The new feature lets users set a percentage of revenue to use for buybacks after issuing an agent’s token on Pump.fun.

CZ: Block Explorers Should Filter Out Spam Transactions to Reduce Address Poisoning Risk
March 14: In response to the recent uptick in Ethereum address poisoning attacks, CZ said in a post that block explorers should directly filter out such spam transactions instead of displaying them to users. He noted these transactions are technically easy to filter, and the Trust Wallet app has already rolled out a similar feature.
CZ also added that while filtering spam transactions could impact future micropayments between AI agents, AI technology can be used then to identify and filter out the spam.
Previously, block explorer Etherscan warned that Ethereum address poisoning attacks are becoming more automated and widespread—attackers use fake, similar-looking addresses to trick users into sending funds to the wrong address.

BlackRock: Will Not Launch "Complex" Crypto ETFs, Strategy Still Focused on Mainstream Assets
**March 14th Brief**
Robert Mitchnick, Head of Digital Assets at leading global asset manager BlackRock, said the firm won’t over-innovate crypto ETF structures or roll out “exotic” products—instead, it will stick to a relatively cautious expansion strategy going forward.
Mitchnick noted current investor demand centers on mainstream assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum. While more complex structured crypto ETFs may emerge, BlackRock will maintain strict vetting for new product launches.
BlackRock recently launched the iShares Staked Ethereum Trust, which generates yield by staking ETH. The fund recorded $15.5 million in trading volume and $43.5 million in inflows on its first day of trading.
Additionally, the firm is exploring launching a Bitcoin yield ETF, which would offer investors income via covered calls on Bitcoin futures.

Data: Only 77 Ships Have Passed Through the Strait of Hormuz Since March 1
March 14 – The U.S.-Iran conflict has triggered a "blockage" at the Strait of Hormuz, the global energy transport chokepoint, per maritime data.
Only 77 vessels have transited the strait since March 1, in contrast to 1,229 ships that passed through between March 1 and 11 last year.
Agence France-Presse (AFP) cited the UK’s Lloyd’s List Maritime Intelligence on March 13 as reporting that most of the 77 ships are in poor condition, lack proper insurance, and have unclear ownership.
The maritime data and analysis provider added that these vessels primarily belong to the so-called "shadow fleet" – including tankers and LNG carriers that evade Western sanctions.
