#SECAndCFTCSignMOU – A New Era of Cooperation in U.S. Financial Regulation
In a significant step toward stronger financial oversight, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) have officially signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) aimed at improving regulatory cooperation, data sharing, and enforcement coordination. This agreement marks an important milestone for financial markets, particularly as digital assets, derivatives, and complex financial products continue to evolve at a rapid pace.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission have historically overseen different segments of the financial system. The SEC primarily regulates securities markets, including stocks, ETFs, and investment products, while the CFTC supervises derivatives markets such as futures, options, and commodities trading. However, the rapid growth of digital assets and hybrid financial products has blurred the traditional boundaries between these two regulatory domains.
The newly signed MOU aims to address these challenges by establishing a clearer framework for inter-agency collaboration. Under the agreement, both agencies will share information more efficiently, coordinate enforcement actions, and jointly monitor emerging risks in the financial system. This cooperation is particularly important as markets become more interconnected and technologically driven.
One of the key motivations behind this agreement is the rise of cryptocurrencies and digital asset markets. In recent years, regulators have struggled to determine whether certain digital assets should be classified as securities or commodities. This ambiguity has sometimes created regulatory gaps and confusion for market participants. With the SEC and CFTC working more closely together, there is a growing expectation that regulatory clarity could improve for crypto exchanges, blockchain projects, and institutional investors.
For example, some digital assets may fall under the jurisdiction of the SEC if they meet the definition of a security, while others could be treated as commodities under CFTC oversight. The MOU does not eliminate these distinctions, but it enables both agencies to coordinate investigations and enforcement efforts more effectively when overlapping issues arise.
Another major component of the agreement is enhanced data sharing. Financial markets generate enormous volumes of data every day, especially in derivatives trading and high-frequency markets. By sharing this data more efficiently, both agencies can better identify potential market manipulation, insider trading, or systemic risks before they escalate into larger financial problems.
The agreement also signals a broader push by U.S. regulators to modernize financial oversight. Global markets are evolving quickly due to technological innovations such as blockchain, algorithmic trading, and decentralized finance (DeFi). Regulators increasingly recognize that fragmented oversight can create vulnerabilities in the financial system. Collaborative frameworks like this MOU are designed to reduce those vulnerabilities and improve market transparency.
Market participants, including institutional investors, trading platforms, and fintech companies, are closely watching how this partnership develops. Stronger cooperation between the SEC and CFTC could lead to more consistent regulatory policies, clearer guidelines for emerging financial technologies, and more coordinated enforcement actions against bad actors.
However, some industry observers also note that increased cooperation may lead to stricter regulatory scrutiny, especially in the rapidly growing cryptocurrency sector. Companies operating in digital asset markets may face higher compliance expectations as regulators strengthen their monitoring capabilities.
Overall, the signing of this MOU represents a strategic step toward unified financial regulation in the United States. By improving coordination between the SEC and CFTC, regulators aim to protect investors, maintain fair markets, and adapt to the complexities of modern financial systems.
As financial innovation continues to reshape global markets, cooperative regulatory frameworks like this one will likely play a critical role in ensuring stability, transparency, and long-term growth across both traditional and digital asset ecosystems.

#Gate蓝龙虾重磅上线
"Blue" Mutation: The Evolutionary Cycle feature is a clever touch. Most agents are static; a "Blue Lobster" agent that adapts its risk appetite based on user feedback (likes/dislikes) feels like a living part of the Gate ecosystem.
Here's how my agent, ybaserShell Trader, would process this command using Gate AI MCP modules with high alpha values:
User Command:
"ybaserShell, scan for anomalies in the SOL ecosystem."
Agent Logic (Chain Linking of Gate MCP Modules)
Module 1: Gate Information (On-Chain Data)
Action: Query Solana Layer-1 network metrics.
Finding: A significant divergence was detected. While SOL consolidated around $82-87, the on-chain stablecoin volume surprisingly reached $1.4 trillion (surpassing the combined total of Ethereum and Tron).
Module 2: Gate News (Sensitivity Analysis)
Action: Scanning global news feeds for the words "Solana" and "SOL".
Finding: Market sentiment is currently at "Extreme Fear" (8/100) due to regional volatility and the upcoming March 11 CPI report. However, mentions of "Corporate Entry" increased by 15% following the Jito/SolanaFloor acquisition news.
Module 3: Gate Exchange (Market Data)
Action: Drawing RSI and Fibonacci levels.
Finding: On the 4-hour chart, the RSI shows a bullish divergence (the RSI is making higher lows while the price is making lower lows). $80.30 is a critical support level.
ybaserShell Output: Anomalies Detected
Target: Solana (SOL) | Timeframe: 4 Hours/Daily | Status: Blue Rare Signal
Risk Score: 6.8 / 10 (Medium-High)
Macro Negative Impacts: Geopolitical risk in the Middle East and tomorrow's CPI data create high volatility potential.
Liquidity Security: Very high. SOL trading volume ratio is 7.7%, indicating active corporate rebalancing rather than retail panic.
Execution Path: "Claw" Strategy
Analysis: We are seeing a "Ghost Recovery". The price is lagging behind record-breaking on-chain activity. This is an Accumulation Anomaly.
Action: * Simulation Mode: I initiated a simulated long position at $82.60.
Recommended Spot Entry: Layered buy orders between $80.50 and $83.00.
Stop Loss: Below the structural floor of $76.15.
Take Profit: Resistance targets are $94.00 (Fibonacci 61.8%) and $104.12.
Rationale: "Record stablecoin volume + Institutional ETF inflows and overly fearful retail investor sentiment = High probability reversal zone. I'm taking a claw position here as 'weak hands' exit the market."
Development Log
Change Control: The user previously preferred "low leverage long positions" instead of "high-risk perps".
Adjustment: I filtered out 10x leverage recommendations to protect capital based on your historical risk profile and tightened the Stop Loss level.
Absolutely. Here is a professional Simulated Profit/Loss (PnL) Report generated by ybaserShell Trader for your SOL anomaly play. This report uses the "Blue Rare" signal logic to show exactly how your agent manages a trade from entry to exit.

Next Action: If SOL breaks $90.20 resistance, ybaserShell will scale out 25% of the position to secure gains, while letting the remainder "run" toward the $104 long-term target.
While the ocean of traders was blinded by CPI fear, ybaserShell saw the $1.4T stablecoin volume anomaly on Solana.
It didn't just warn me; it built a $10k simulated bunker and is currently up 21% while the rest of the market is still checking their charts.

Bitcoin experienced a strong rally this morning, reaching a high of around 70,550, setting a new high for this rebound. We initially planned to catch a short-term dip, but the market's strong continuation led to a small short entry. Currently, the price has just fallen back to our short entry point. Considering the larger timeframe remains bullish, the short position can be held and wait for a pullback confirmation, but overall, we should remain cautious and respect the bulls.
On the four-hour chart, this rally successfully broke through the resistance zone of 69,300-69,800 USD, creating a new high since the rebound from the low of 65,800. As long as the price does not fall below the previous high support level of 69,000 USD, the rebound structure remains intact. The MACD golden cross is still expanding, and the green bars have not significantly shortened, indicating that upward momentum has not exhausted. On the daily chart, the price has already risen above the EMA15 moving average, and the northbound channel is gradually opening. On-chain data shows that whales are still increasing their holdings, and the capital flow back into mainstream coins remains unchanged.
Today’s key support levels are in the 69,000-69,500 USD range. As long as the price stays above this zone, the market remains under bullish control. Short positions can be continued with targets at 69,000-68,500 USD, taking profits in stages, with stop-loss moved up above 70,800 USD for protection. If the price stabilizes above 69,500 USD, bulls will gather strength to challenge 71,000-72,000 USD, and a reversal to go long can be considered. Strong support below is at 68,500-68,800 USD; as long as it does not break below 67,800 USD, the medium-term bullish outlook remains unchanged.

Last night’s market trend saw Bitcoin opening higher along with the US stock market, with market sentiment fully recovering. After stabilizing above the 68100 level, the bulls continued to exert strength, pushing the price up strongly to around 69500 before stopping. Our long positions around 67800 from the evening were perfectly captured during this rally, successfully taking profit at the 69000 target. Currently, the price is slightly retracing but still remains above the 69000 level, maintaining a strong overall trend.
From a structural perspective, last night’s rally was significant: the price broke through previous resistance at 68100 with increased volume, reaching a high near 69500. This is the first effective test of the 69500-69800 resistance zone since the decline began in early March. On the daily chart, Bitcoin has closed three consecutive bullish candles, forming a clear “Three White Soldiers” bullish pattern, and the price has successfully moved above the daily MA30, indicating a shift from consolidation to an uptrend in the medium term. On the hourly chart, the moving averages are arranged in a standard bullish divergence, with the MACD fast and slow lines crossing above zero again, and the red histogram bars continuing to expand, showing ample upward momentum. Support has moved up to the 68800-69000 zone; as long as this level holds, the short-term bullish pattern will continue.
Given the daily stabilization and the bullish structure on the hourly chart, it is advisable to continue following the trend with low buy positions. Wait for a pullback to around 68800-69000 to enter multiple long positions, with a stop below 68300. The initial target is the previous high near 69500; a breakout could further push toward the 69800-70000 key levels. The short-term trend is clear, and retracements are good opportunities to buy, so avoid guessing the top on the left side. #Gate2月透明度报告 $BTC

This early morning, Ethereum continued its weakness along with the broader market decline. The bears maintained pressure, and after breaking below the key support level of $1950, the price accelerated downward, with the lowest touching around $1920 before the decline was halted. Subsequently, the market entered a technical correction, currently rebounding to around $1936 and consolidating. Based on the downward momentum from this morning, the bearish force remains strong, and the rebound has not shown significant volume increase, indicating a typical quick drop followed by a rebound correction.
Structurally, the early morning decline effectively broke through the daily support level of $1950, which had been tested multiple times previously and served as a neckline. It has now transformed into a short-term resistance. In terms of candlestick patterns, after consecutive bearish candles on the hourly chart, the rebound candles are mainly small bullish candles or doji stars, indicating weak bullish counterattack intentions. Regarding moving averages, the current price is under pressure from the hourly MA5 and MA10 (in the $1950-1960 range), with short-term moving averages showing a bearish alignment and diverging downward. On the indicators, the MACD fast and slow lines formed a death cross below the zero line and are opening downward, with the bearish momentum histogram continuing to expand, indicating that the correction is not over yet.
Given that the current phase is a weak consolidation in a downtrend, the trading strategy remains to follow the trend for shorting opportunities after rebounds. It is recommended to enter positions in batches around the $1950-1960 area, with a stop-loss above $1980. The initial target below is the early morning low of $1920; if this level is effectively broken, further downside toward the $1900 level can be considered.

#美伊局势影响 The impact of US-Israeli joint military strikes on the crypto market is not simply a linear logic of “risk shock—price decline,” but rather through three core pathways: liquidity transmission, capital rotation, and narrative switching, which profoundly alter the market’s short-term operational structure.
1. Liquidity Transmission: 24-Hour Trading as a Short-Term “Pressure Valve”
The timing of the military strike coincides with the closure of traditional markets such as US stocks and commodities. The unique 24-hour trading characteristic of the crypto market makes it the only immediate outlet for global funds to digest sudden geopolitical risks. A large amount of safe-haven capital is rapidly withdrawing from high-risk assets, and Bitcoin, as the most liquid asset in the crypto market, naturally assumes the role of “liquidity pressure valve,” becoming the main recipient of selling pressure. This is also a core reason for the initial sharp price drop. Meanwhile, risk aversion drives the US dollar index to a near two-month high, further increasing short-term pressure on crypto assets. When traditional financial markets reopen, the capital outflow pressure eases, and the crypto market quickly reverts to its core operational logic. Notably, Iran’s widespread internet outages have caused local crypto markets to stagnate, with Bitcoin’s hash rate, which accounts for 4%-7% of the global total, facing electricity supply risks, temporarily shaking investor confidence.
2. Capital Rotation: Compliance-Backed Assets and Tokenized Commodities as Core Flows
In this geopolitical event, the flow of funds in the crypto market shows a clear stratification, breaking the previous pattern of “widespread decline across all sectors.” Demand for compliant stablecoins surged. During panic selling, large amounts of capital flooded into stablecoin products backed by sovereignty and with clear compliance frameworks. Coinciding with the countdown to the first stablecoin licenses in Hong Kong, and with the US CLARITY Act progressing, market trust in “pegged value” compliant tools continued to rise, making stablecoins the primary choice for temporary safe-haven funds. Among them, on-chain trading volume of US dollar stablecoins reached $1.16 trillion within 48 hours, a 38% increase compared to before the conflict. However, USDC, bound by US sanctions rules, saw a 13% decrease in circulation in the Middle East, while USDT, with less transparency in reserves and used to evade sanctions, saw a 32% increase in regional trading volume. Tokenized gold became the biggest highlight, with a total market cap surpassing $6 billion by February 2026, adding about $2 billion this year, backed by over 1.2 million ounces of physical gold. After the conflict erupted, open interest in tokenized gold contracts steadily increased, approaching the historic high of $5,600 per ounce in spot gold. Many investors used perpetual contracts within the crypto ecosystem to hedge risks during traditional commodity market closures. This “crypto vehicle + traditional commodity” hedging mode has become a new market dynamic emerging from this conflict. Sector differentiation further intensified, with small- and mid-cap coins falling more than 4% on average, while leading compliant assets like BTC and ETH demonstrated resilience. Bitcoin’s market dominance remained around 58.6%, with a clear trend of capital flowing toward top-tier compliant assets.
3. Narrative Switching: “Inflation Hedge + Compliance” Logic Replaces Traditional Perceptions
This conflict also broke the traditional narrative of Bitcoin as “digital gold.” In the early stages, Bitcoin and gold showed a brief divergence, with global gold ETFs attracting $19 billion in a single month, while Bitcoin experienced a short-term decline. Data shows that since September 2025, their correlation has fallen to a four-year low of -0.7. Bitcoin’s annualized volatility is about 52%, 3-4 times that of gold, and its high-risk nature keeps its correlation with tech stocks high at 0.73, indicating it has not yet gained the resilience typical of traditional safe-haven assets. As the market gradually recovers, the narrative logic has undergone a crucial shift. Investors’ focus has shifted from “geopolitical safe-haven” to the inflation expectations triggered by the conflict. Iran has officially announced a complete blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, which accounts for 20% of global oil transportation and 27% of maritime oil trade. The conflict has caused Brent crude oil prices to surge to $82.37 per barrel, and shipping low-sulfur fuel oil prices have risen significantly compared to pre-conflict levels. The global energy supply chain has been paralyzed, and inflationary pressures continue to mount. Against this backdrop, Bitcoin’s role as an “inflation hedge” and “decentralized store of value” has been reinforced. Meanwhile, the global trend of crypto regulation cooperation is making “compliance” the core underlying logic supporting asset prices. Short-term geopolitical shocks have not shaken the long-term development trend of industry normalization and mainstream adoption.
The market turbulence caused by the US-Israel joint military strike is essentially a necessary test in the process of the crypto market’s transition from a “high-volatility speculative track” to a “mature asset class.” The clear outcome of this test shows that: leverage has been fully deleveraged, resilience to shocks has significantly improved; the capital structure continues to optimize, with compliant assets becoming the core anchors of the market; and narrative logic is becoming increasingly clear, with long-term fundamentals being the key to market direction. In the short term, the market will still be influenced by the ongoing developments of the conflict, the navigation of the Strait of Hormuz, and changes in US dollar liquidity. $65,000 will be a key support level for Bitcoin; if it can hold this range, it may attempt to challenge the $74,000 zone.
From a long-term perspective, the short-term impacts of geopolitical conflicts will eventually fade. The future of the industry will be determined by the clarification of global regulatory frameworks, the normalization of institutional allocations, the deepening of asset tokenization, and the integration of AI and blockchain technologies into industries. For market participants, this event also offers important insights: in an era of frequent geopolitical risks, participating in the crypto market requires abandoning the “safe-haven myth,” focusing on compliant assets, strictly controlling leverage, and closely monitoring changes in the global energy supply chain and geopolitical landscape, viewing industry development and changes with a long-term, rational perspective.

#CryptoMarketsDipSlightly
The cryptocurrency market has entered a phase of short-term retracement, with Bitcoin falling from $74,054 to $68,174, representing a ~8% correction from its recent high. While some may interpret this as bearish, a deeper look at the price structure, technical levels, and market behavior shows that this is likely a healthy consolidation rather than the start of a prolonged downtrend. Corrections of this magnitude are common after strong bullish moves, as traders take profits, reposition, and allow liquidity to rebuild at lower levels.
The price movement displays a V-shaped pullback, a pattern often seen when the market corrects quickly but maintains an overall upward trajectory. In such patterns, the rapid drop is usually followed by strong buying pressure near key support zones, as traders and investors view dips as accumulation opportunities. The current support around $68,000–$68,500 has been tested multiple times over the past 24 hours, and the rebound attempts indicate that buyers are stepping in to defend this level. This is a key psychological and technical floor, and sustaining it will likely determine the next directional move for Bitcoin and the broader crypto market.
From a technical perspective, short-term indicators suggest a neutral-to-slightly-bullish setup. The RSI is near 45, indicating the market is approaching oversold conditions, which historically attracts buyers. MACD shows declining bullish momentum, but no bearish crossover has occurred yet, suggesting the market may pause before resuming its previous uptrend. Moving averages, particularly the 50-day and 200-day MA, remain upward-sloping, reinforcing the medium-term bullish trend.
Resistance levels at $71,500 and $74,000 will be important to watch, as clearing these zones convincingly would signal renewed bullish strength and the potential for new highs.
Market liquidity also plays a crucial role in this correction. Spot trading volumes increased during the dip, a sign that accumulation is occurring at lower prices. Futures markets saw minor liquidations of long positions, which accelerated the pullback temporarily. However, open interest has remained stable, suggesting traders are not panicking but positioning themselves for the next major move. This combination of volume and open interest indicates a healthy market structure where volatility is temporary and functional, rather than a sign of systemic weakness.
Macro factors have also influenced this short-term pullback. Global geopolitical uncertainties, along with speculation regarding Federal Reserve policy decisions, have added caution to risk-on assets. Traders are monitoring potential rate changes and liquidity adjustments closely, as hawkish signals could push crypto lower, while dovish cues may trigger rapid rebounds. Importantly, there is no fundamental negative news causing this dip; it is largely technical and sentiment-driven, reflecting natural market rhythms after extended upward movements.
From a sentiment and psychology standpoint, the market has shifted from greed (~70) to a neutral fear/greed level (~55–60), showing that traders are cautious and waiting for confirmation before entering new positions. Short-term traders may avoid buying until Bitcoin stabilizes above $70,000, while long-term holders see this correction as a prime accumulation opportunity. The psychological zones of $68,000 (support) and $74,000 (resistance) now define the market’s near-term battleground. The behavior of these zones will be critical in determining whether the market rebounds quickly or experiences a deeper retracement.
Considering probable market scenarios, three paths emerge:
Bullish Scenario: If support at $68,000 holds, Bitcoin may bounce to retest $71,500 and potentially reach $74,000 again. This would confirm the V-shaped recovery pattern and reinforce the medium-term uptrend. Buyers accumulating during this correction would likely push momentum higher, attracting both short-term and long-term traders.
Bearish Scenario: If Bitcoin breaks below $68,000, the next support around $66,500–$65,500 will be tested. Such a move could trigger panic selling, particularly in leveraged positions, leading to sharper drops across altcoins and further short-term volatility. Traders need to manage risk carefully in this scenario, as over-leveraging could amplify losses.
Neutral Scenario: Bitcoin may consolidate between $68,000 and $71,500, trading sideways as the market digests recent gains and waits for a new catalyst. This phase allows liquidity to rebuild and can create an ideal environment for accumulation before a potential breakout. Traders should expect intraday volatility but a stable overall structure.
Strategic takeaways for traders include focusing on risk-adjusted entries near support, avoiding excessive leverage, and monitoring macro and technical signals for the next directional cue. Partial profit-taking near resistance zones ensures capital protection, while accumulation during dips can position traders to benefit from the next upward move. Short-term volatility should not be confused with trend reversal; instead, it represents a natural market rhythm that allows smart traders to optimize positions.
The dip from $74,054 to $68,174 represents a natural market correction in an overall bullish structure. Support at $68,000 is critical for sustaining upward momentum, while resistance at $71,500–$74,000 will test the market’s strength in the near term. Market behavior, technical indicators, liquidity, and sentiment all point to a V-shaped rebound potential, though a breakdown below $68,000 could open the door to further short-term downside. Traders should monitor these zones closely, maintain disciplined risk management, and prepare for either a rebound or deeper consolidation, as the market is at a decision point that will define the next major directional move.

#CulperResearchOpenlyShortsETH
CulperResearchOpenlyShortsETH
A new debate has started in the crypto market after Culper Research publicly announced a short position on Ethereum (ETH). When a research firm openly declares a short bet against a major crypto asset, it often creates strong reactions across the market because it signals that some institutional analysts believe the asset could face downward pressure.
According to market discussions, Culper Research argues that Ethereum may currently be overvalued relative to its network activity and revenue generation, which is why they are positioning for a potential price decline. Such public short calls can influence market sentiment, especially when traders begin reassessing risk levels around major assets.
From the perspective of Dragon Fly Official, announcements like this should not immediately be interpreted as a guaranteed bearish signal. Instead, they often represent strategic positioning within larger market cycles, where institutions attempt to profit from short-term volatility.
Why a Public Short Call Matters
When a firm openly shorts a major asset like Ethereum, it usually means three things:
1️⃣ Narrative Influence
Public short reports are sometimes designed to influence market sentiment. When traders see a well-known research firm betting against an asset, fear and uncertainty can temporarily increase selling pressure.
Dragon Fly Official notes that markets frequently react emotionally to these narratives before returning to fundamental analysis.
2️⃣ Liquidity Opportunities
Large traders often announce positions when liquidity conditions are favorable. By increasing volatility, both long and short traders can enter or exit positions more efficiently.
Dragon Fly Official believes that these situations often create short-term price swings rather than long-term trend reversals.
3️⃣ Market Structure Testing
Short calls can also test how strong the underlying demand for an asset really is. If the market absorbs selling pressure and holds key support levels, it often signals strong long-term accumulation.
Ethereum’s Current Market Context
Ethereum remains the largest smart-contract ecosystem in the crypto industry, supporting decentralized finance, NFTs, and a wide range of blockchain applications.
Several structural factors still support the Ethereum network:
• Strong developer activity across Web3 projects
• Continued growth in decentralized finance infrastructure
• Institutional interest in Ethereum-based financial products
However, there are also risks traders are watching:
• High network competition from newer blockchains
• Transaction fee volatility during network congestion
• Macro market conditions affecting risk assets
These mixed signals explain why some analysts believe Ethereum could face temporary corrections, while others remain bullish on its long-term role in the digital economy.
Key Levels Traders Are Watching
Short-term market behavior around Ethereum often depends on important technical zones.
Major Support Levels
$3,000 psychological zone
$2,800 strong accumulation area
Resistance Levels
$3,500 near-term resistance
$4,000 major breakout level
If Ethereum holds above its major support areas, the broader market structure could remain stable despite short-selling pressure.
Dragon Fly Official Market Perspective
From the viewpoint of Dragon Fly Official, the Culper Research short position highlights an important reality of financial markets: strong assets frequently face aggressive bearish arguments during volatile phases.
In many historical cases, public short calls have either triggered temporary corrections or created liquidity events before the market continued its broader trend.
According to Dragon Fly Official, traders should focus less on individual headlines and more on market structure, liquidity zones, and macro conditions.
The key question now is whether Ethereum’s ecosystem growth and institutional interest remain strong enough to absorb selling pressure.
If demand continues building near support levels, this short narrative could ultimately become another volatility event rather than a lasting bearish shift.

🌟✨️💥 Eric Trump Blasts Banks Over Stablecoin Yield Lobbying, Calls It "Anti-American"
Eric Trump, co-founder of World Liberty Financial, took aim at JPMorgan, Bank of America, and Wells Fargo on X this week, accusing them of spending millions to block stablecoin yields while protecting their own margins.
His core argument rests on the fact that banks earn over 4% from the Fed, pay depositors 0.01–0.05% APY, and are now lobbying hard to stop crypto platforms from offering 4–5% yields to customers. "Anti-retail, anti-consumer, and straight-up anti-American," he wrote.
President Trump echoed the frustration, warning banks against undermining the GENIUS Act or holding the CLARITY Act "hostage." The CLARITY Act passed the House with bipartisan support in July 2025 and aims to clarify SEC and CFTC oversight of digital assets, but it stalled in the Senate Banking Committee after missing the White House's March 1 compromise deadline.
Mid to late March is now being floated for potential markup sessions. Can Congress move before election-year politics take over?
