Foresight News reported that the Bank of Canada, Export Development Canada (EDC), RBC Capital Markets, and TD Bank Group have completed a proof-of-concept experiment called Project Samara, which involved issuing and settling bonds using distributed ledger technology (DLT). This week, EDC issued Canada's first tokenized bond. The bond has a maturity of less than three months, is denominated in Canadian dollars, has a size of 100 million Canadian dollars, is offered to a specific group of investors, and was settled using wholesale central bank deposits.

BlockBeats News, March 6th, Ethereum founder Vitalik stated, I think it is a good thing for the Ethereum community to have a more daringly open mindset, especially in terms of the application layer and how they view their position in the world. We should not compromise on core attributes: censorship resistance, openness, privacy, and security (CROPS). Especially in the application layer and Ethereum's interface with the outside world, we should be more willing to thoroughly rethink various concepts and step out of our comfort zone. Last year, we began to prioritize privacy and gave it equal weight to other types of security. This means that there will be a fundamental change in the Ethereum application stack, as so far, the entire stack has not been built around privacy. Well, let's build a completely different Ethereum application stack. This year's example is rethinking the role of L2 from scratch and which types of L2 can truly have the greatest synergy and benefit with Ethereum. This also includes cultural factors. For me and others, this is an important part of the "milady" concept. Write down your "dignified" inherent concept, crumple it up, and burn it. This psychological baptism will bring about an intellectual baptism, inspiring greater creativity and expanding horizons. For a long time, our algorithm on Ethereum has been: we have an existing ecosystem, what is the next step to make it better? Now, our algorithm should be: we have a fantastic L1 layer, and it will become even better; we have more and more tools, including tools developed inside and outside the ecosystem; based on our current knowledge, what is the most valuable? If you were to write the section on applications from the 2014 Ethereum whitepaper, starting from first principles in areas such as DeFi, decentralized social, and identity, what would you write? At the very least, please exclude all path dependency issues first, assume that the Ethereum chain is currently not in use at all, and you are the first to propose or build the initial applications, and see what you would ultimately write. Even if you are currently building existing applications, please do this. This is the secret to Ethereum's reinvigoration.

Golden Ten Data, March 6 – The China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing released the Global Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) for February 2026 today (6th). The global manufacturing sector remained in the expansion range, with the prosperity level rising slightly compared to the previous month. In February, the global manufacturing PMI was 51.2%, up 0.2 percentage points from the previous month, marking two consecutive months above 50%. Experts stated that, judging from the data changes in January and February, there are signs of improvement in the global manufacturing recovery trend. However, the recent sharp increase in geopolitical risks in the Middle East has brought uncertainty to the nascent global economic recovery.
