Binance Labs, the venture capital arm of the world's largest crypto exchange, has managed to grow its assets to $9 billion by investing in the Web3 ecosystem despite facing regulatory uncertainties and a bear market.

The prolonged bear market of 2022 and the first quarter of 2023 has led to a decline in trading volumes and prices of most non-fungible token (NFT) projects.

Bitcoin has entered its historically most bullish month of April, according to seasonal analysis and serial correlation. The cryptocurrency has typically been stronger in April than any other month, with an average of 44.83% upside in the month over the years.

The crypto market saw a sharp decline at 12 am UTC on March 3. The price of Bitcoin (BTC) fell by over 5% from around $23418 to $22163, according to CryptoSlate data. Most of the drop occurred within an hour as the BTC price fell by over $1,000 in seconds.

Crypto ATMs — one of the key infrastructure pillars for the mass adoption of cryptocurrencies — have seen a drastic reduction this year. In the first two months of 2023, the net cryptocurrency ATMs installed globally reduced by 412 machines.
