Vietnam’s goods trade balance remained in deficit in the latter half of March 2026, with the deficit reaching 56.48 million USD. A preliminary report from the General Department of Customs showed that in the period March 16–31, Vietnam’s total goods exports and imports rose to about 52.13 billion USD, up…
Grayscale has highlighted five altcoins in an April 3 report, naming Chainlink, Solana, Cardano, Polkadot and Avalanche as potential opportunities amid a sharp downturn across crypto markets.
In its report, Grayscale argued that these tokens have the fundamentals to recover if market conditions stabilize. The firm did not provide specific price targets.
The report comes as most altcoins have fallen 70% to 90% from their peaks, leaving investors focused on what could drive a rebound.
Grayscale’s case for each token included recent activity and ongoing work, though some sections also pointed to operational risks.
The report said Chainlink’s integration with major DeFi platforms continues to grow. It cited that three new protocols added Chainlink price feeds last month, bringing total integrations to over 1,500.
Solana’s reliability issues were a central concern. The network reportedly went down for several hours in March, preventing users from trading or transferring tokens during the outage. The development team promised fixes by mid-2026, but the report noted that confidence damage has already occurred.
Grayscale pointed to a partnership in Ethiopia involving digital identity services for education. The deal covers five million students, and the pilot program is described as starting this summer with 100,000 students before expanding nationwide.
The report referenced a March 28 telecom partnership exploring IoT applications using Polkadot technology. It also cited parachain auctions raising over $200 million in DOT tokens and said that over 40 projects have secured parachain slots since auctions began.
For Avalanche, Grayscale highlighted developer momentum and network performance. It cited that the network processed over 2.5 million transactions in March. The report also described Avalanche’s subnet technology as enabling custom blockchains for specific use cases, with gaming companies testing subnets for in-game economies.
Market reaction to Grayscale’s picks was described as mixed. Some traders reportedly bought into the recommendations, pushing prices up 3% to 8% in the hours after the report, while others remained cautious given that institutional views do not always translate into sustained crypto performance.
The report also arrives amid regulatory uncertainty. The article noted that SEC enforcement actions have continued to affect crypto projects, and said Grayscale’s five picks have avoided major regulatory issues so far. It further referenced the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation, which is set to take effect next year, potentially improving guidance for institutional investment.
Grayscale manages over $25 billion in crypto assets. The article said the firm’s Bitcoin and Ethereum trusts trade on traditional stock exchanges, providing institutional investors exposure without direct token ownership. It also described growing institutional interest in alternative cryptocurrencies beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum, including allocations tied to sectors such as DeFi infrastructure and interoperability protocols.
Premium gym chains are entering a “golden era” that is ending or already in decline, as rising operating costs collide with shifting consumer preferences toward more flexible, community-based ways to exercise. Long-term memberships are shrinking, margins are pressured by higher rents and facility expenses, and competition from smaller, more personalized…
