The cryptocurrency market has entered the new week calmly with a daily change of 0.7%. While Bitcoin dominance is hovering around 57.9%, there will be developments that may affect some altcoin prices this week.
The five altcoins we are focusing on for the week of March 29-April 4 are Cardano (ADA), Cosmos (ATOM), Avalanche (AVAX), Chiliz (CHZ) and Pundi X (NPXS), respectively, along with highlights of some other main coins events.
Cardano (ADA)
News This Week: The IOHK Foundation announced that the update, known as D-Day, will be completed on March 31st.
Why to follow: Every block in the Cardano network was generated by IOHK-controlled nodes. But March 31 will be a turning point in decentralization for Cardano. Cardano blocks will be produced by user pools after that date.
Cosmos (ATOM)
News This Week: The Cosmos community will receive information about Inter Blockchain Communication at the party to be held on the evening of March 29.
Why to follow: Inter Blockchain Communication (IBC) will be used after 5 years of preparation. Users will be able to transfer IBC tokens between two different blockchains. Demos of transactions will be shared and IBC will be elaborated.
Avalanche (AVAX)
News This Week: Apricot Phase One will be launched on 31st March.
Why To Follow: The first phase of Apricot will save 50% transaction costs.
Other than this, AVAX has many great news this week. The summary of these news is shared below.
Chiliz (CHZ)
News This Week: Chiliz announced that fan tokens developed for the Professional Fighters League (PFL) will be added to the Socios.com app on March 31st.
Why to follow: While no league in the US has been actively involved in the Chiliz & Socios.com ecosystem so far, this scenario will change after March 31st.
Company CEO Alexandre Dreyfus often say “Nobody wants to be the first, but they don’t want to be the last.”
Not so breaking news: The $PFL Fan Token is coming to the @socios app on March 31st.

Pundi X (NPXS)
News This Week: Pundi X Labs will reduce the number of token on March 30.
Why To Follow: Pundi X, which is listed as NPXS on crypto exchanges, will start to use the name PUNDIX after March 30. As the number of tokens will be reduced, users will be able to exchange every 1,000 NPXS they hold for 1 PUNDIX token.
Dear Pundians, #NPXS token reduction poll result is out. Over 88% of the participants agree with the reduction plan. We will execute the reduction plan by the end of March. For more details ? https://t.co/4Ft2QT253x #PundiX
