BTCC, one of China's 'Big Three' digital currency exchanges, has announced a new promotion that will see fees cut on US dollar-based bitcoin trades.
Beginning 1st March and running through the month, BTCC says it will cease charging customers on both sides of trades on BTCC.com, its international exchange site. However, fees will remain in place at BTCChina.com, its domestic exchange offering.

In statements, BTCC representative Tendai Musakwa said the promotion is a tactical move aimed to outflank competitors by focusing on the exchange's international reach.
Musakwa said:
"We're now focusing on growing more. Part of that includes learning from experiences operating the longest-running bitcoin exchange."
The surprise promotion follows recent policy changes at the exchange following new regulatory pressure from China's central bank.
Beginning in January, the People's Bank of China (PBoC) took increasing interest in the sector, suggesting a number of operational changes at BTCC and its competitors, that have since found them losing their hold on international marketshare.

Pudgy Penguins is building a multi-vertical consumer IP platform — combining phygital products, games, NFTs and PENGU to monetize culture at scale.
What to know:
Pudgy Penguins is emerging as one of the strongest NFT-native brands of this cycle, shifting from speculative “digital luxury goods” into a multi-vertical consumer IP platform. Its strategy is to acquire users through mainstream channels first; toys, retail partnerships and viral media, then onboard them into Web3 through games, NFTs and the PENGU token.
The ecosystem now spans phygital products (> $13M retail sales and >1M units sold), games and experiences (Pudgy Party surpassed 500k downloads in two weeks), and a widely distributed token (airdropped to 6M+ wallets). While the market is currently pricing Pudgy at a premium relative to traditional IP peers, sustained success depends on execution across retail expansion, gaming adoption and deeper token utility.
