March 28th — Binance released its March 2026 Over-the-Counter (OTC) and Execution Services Report on Saturday, noting a sharp rise in institutional demand since the start of the year. OTC trading volume in the first two months of 2026 has reached 25% of 2025’s full-year volume, reflecting large institutional funds’ growing reliance on off-exchange liquidity and execution services.

On March 28, U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis stated the latest revised CLARITY Act would provide "the strongest protection ever" for decentralized finance (DeFi) and its developers, urging swift passage of the bill. Addressing concerns from crypto lawyer Jake Chervinsky, Lummis noted Chervinsky’s belief that the current draft’s definition of "money transmitter" in Chapter 3 could still subject non-custodial software developers to regulatory oversight—undermining the legal protections originally outlined in the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act. Lummis emphasized recent bipartisan tweaks to relevant provisions aim to ensure non-custodial developers are not misclassified as financial institutions, thus avoiding mandatory compliance with Know Your Customer (KYC) and other regulatory requirements. Still, industry disagreements persist. Chervinsky pointed out controversy over the stablecoin yield provision has overshadowed the developer protection issue, adding "avoiding mislabeling

On March 28th, Daniel Li, founder of Liquid Capital (formerly LD Capital), joined a social media discussion and shared: "Set a take-profit level, keep positions small for operational flexibility—the rebound hasn’t met expectations, the current market dynamic isn’t over in the short term, and we’re waiting for a new dip-buying opportunity." Against the backdrop of recent market declines, his comments suggest he’s in profit-taking mode and holds a bearish near-term outlook.

March 28: Amid community chatter about Binance’s steep TWAP (Time-Weighted Average Price) order fees, users took to social media to raise questions. They noted the feature could be easily replicated with a basic strategy, but the exchange charges an extra ~0.12% fee—something users labeled “excessively high.” In response, Binance CEO CZ commented publicly: “Hmm, too expensive.” Market watchers interpreted the short statement as a direct nod to user frustrations, suggesting the platform may revisit pricing for TWAP and related products.
