Binance founder Zhao Changpeng (CZ) reflected on the origins of BNB Chain in his new book, stating that the launch of BNB Chain coincided with the DeFi boom, which was not the result of his long-term planning. When the development team proposed to create this new public chain, he simply said yes and thereafter hardly participated deeply.CZ candidly stated, "In fact, I rarely make long-term plans. My principle is simple: when someone comes to me with a good idea, I give them ample resources and freedom to try."

According to Cryptoquant analyst Darkfost, there has been a significant market pattern shift in Ethereum derivatives, the first since the bear market of 2023. Darkfost pointed out that while the net trading volume of ETH has been negative for most of 2023, it has now turned positive. Currently, this metric shows that buying pressure is dominant, with a buying amount of $104 million.It is noteworthy that even when Ethereum's price was close to new highs previously, this metric indicated that selling pressure remained very strong, but now this situation seems to be changing.Darkfost believes that due to the positive buying pressure facing Ethereum, this could help form a stronger bottom. If this dynamic continues, and the spot market and ETFs begin to support this trend, Ethereum may potentially resume its upward trend.

The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York has filed charges against Maryland man Jonathan Spalletta (36 years old), accusing him of hacking the decentralized exchange Uranium Finance twice in 2021. Prosecutors claim that Spalletta first stole approximately $1.4 million through deceptive smart contract transactions, and weeks later exploited a contract vulnerability to take $53.3 million, causing the exchange to shut down due to depleted funds.The stolen funds were subsequently used for money laundering and purchasing millions of dollars worth of rare Pokémon and Magic: The Gathering cards, as well as collectibles including a piece of original fabric from the Wright brothers' airplane that had reached the lunar surface during the Apollo moon landing mission. Spalletta faces two charges: computer fraud (up to 10 years) and money laundering (up to 20 years), with a maximum combined sentence of 30 years. U.S. authorities had previously recovered $31 million in cryptocurrency assets in February 2025.

According to SoSoValue data, as of 8 AM Eastern Time on March 30, 2026, the total net purchase of Bitcoin by publicly listed companies worldwide (excluding mining companies) for the week was $70,000, a decrease of 99.93% compared to last week.Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) has not announced any Bitcoin purchases.The Japanese listed company Metaplanet did not purchase Bitcoin last week, marking eleven consecutive weeks without purchases.In addition, another company purchased Bitcoin last week.

According to U.Today, the Bitcoin network experienced a rare two-block reorganization last night. At height 941880, the network briefly split into two competing chains. AntPool mined block 941881, and ViaBTC subsequently mined block 941882 on the same chain; meanwhile, Foundry USA mined its version of block 941881 and continued to mine its version of block 941882. After Foundry USA continued to mine blocks 941883, 941884, and 941885, the competing chain was broken, and the blocks from AntPool and ViaBTC were discarded as orphan blocks.This reorganization was not an attack or a failure, but rather a normal result of Bitcoin's decentralized consensus mechanism. Single-block reorganizations occur from time to time, but two-block reorganizations are relatively rare, indicating that the tie between the two chains lasted for an entire block cycle. Foundry USA mined seven consecutive blocks from 941879 to 941885.

A federal jury in San Francisco ruled local time that American entrepreneur Elon Musk intentionally lowered the stock price of Twitter (now renamed X) during his acquisition in 2022, "misleading investors," and is responsible for this. However, the jury dismissed the fraud charges against Musk for "conspiring" to mislead investors.The lawsuit was filed before Musk took over Twitter. The jury was asked to determine whether Musk's two tweets posted in May 2022 and his comments in a related podcast constituted "intentional fraud against Twitter shareholders." After nearly four days of deliberation, the nine-member jury ruled that Musk was responsible for "misleading investors" with the two tweets but that his comments in the podcast did not constitute misleading, and he did not intentionally "conspire" to defraud investors.This ruling is a rare defeat for Musk, and his legal team stated they would appeal. Musk announced the acquisition of Twitter for $44 billion in April 2022 and announced the termination of the acquisition agreement on July 8. Twitter sued Musk on July 12, accusing him of refusing to complete the acquisition as agreed, causing significant losses to Twitter.

Since Bitcoin plummeted to $60,000 on February 8, the arbitrage positions of the decentralized stablecoin protocol Ethena have dropped sharply from over $2 billion to below $800 million, a decline of over 60%.Ethena's business model relies on fulfilling the demand for counterparties from leveraged long positions in the perpetual contract market. The significant shrinkage of positions indicates that short sellers and hedgers in the market are filling roles that were originally dominated by arbitrage traders. Analyst SoskaKyle pointed out that this shift is mainly due to crypto venture capital firms and small to medium-sized projects entering the market in large numbers to hedge in order to protect treasury assets and lock in profits, resulting in crowded trades shorting various related cryptocurrencies.Currently, the long and short positions in the derivatives market are approaching equilibrium, a state that is historically rare and difficult to sustain, suggesting that the market may be at a critical point of directional change.

As the Middle East conflict leads to flight cancellations and logistics disruptions, a large amount of gold stranded in Dubai is being sold at a noticeable discount.Insiders reveal that due to exceptionally high transportation and insurance costs, and the inability to guarantee timely delivery, many buyers have suspended new procurement orders. As a result, under the pressure of indefinitely bearing storage and capital costs, traders have started selling gold at discounts of up to $30 per ounce below the London benchmark price.Sources say that although some gold has been loaded onto flights leaving Dubai since the middle of this week, as of Friday, many batches of gold remain stranded. The UAE, especially Dubai, is a significant global hub for gold refining and trading, exporting gold to various parts of Asia and serving as an important transit point for gold to Switzerland, the UK, and several African countries. Due to the escalation of the conflict in the Middle East, some airspace in the UAE has been closed; meanwhile, the military strikes by the US and Israel against Iran have entered their seventh day, with no signs of an end in sight.

The founder of the Bitcoin and digital asset quantitative fund Capriole, Charles Edwards, stated that bullish signals for Bitcoin are emerging. The Bitcoin Mayer Multiple has rarely dropped to around 0.6. Although there is still a possibility for Bitcoin's price to decline further, historically, this range often corresponds to one of the most attractive buying points in Bitcoin's history.Note: The Bitcoin Mayer Multiple is a technical indicator used to analyze the state of the Bitcoin market, proposed by Trace Mayer. It assesses the relative valuation level of the market by comparing Bitcoin's current price to its 200-day moving average (200DMA). Historically, when the Mayer Multiple exceeds 2.4, it usually indicates that the market is overheated, and a correction or bear market may occur. When the Mayer Multiple is below 0.8, the market may be undervalued, potentially signaling a good buying opportunity.

Cryptocurrency KOL and former FTX community partner Benson Sun posted that Bitcoin experienced an extreme drop this morning. Calculating with a 200-day lookback period, BTC's decline reached -5.65 standard deviations (σ). The Six Sigma standard in manufacturing allows for only 3.4 defects per million occurrences, which defines "almost impossible" in human industrial civilization. Yesterday's BTC volatility was just 0.35 standard deviations away from this "industrial-grade impossibility."A -5.65σ occurrence has a theoretical probability of about one in ten million under normal distribution. Despite the fat tail effect in financial markets, this level of volatility has only occurred 4 times since BTC began trading in July 2010, accounting for about 0.07% of all trading days. Even during the deep bear phases of 2018 and 2022, such a rapid decline had not occurred within a rolling 200-day period. This poses a severe challenge to quantitative strategies.Currently, most quantitative models are built on data after 2015, and historical samples exceeding 5.65σ, apart from the anomalous "312" flash crash in 2020, occurred before 2015, leaving almost no reference precedent.CoinKarma's quantitative strategy has shown a paper loss in this round of market conditions, but due to maintaining low leverage (about 1.4 times) over the long term, it remains manageable, with a maximum drawdown of about 30%. While extreme market conditions are an expensive "tuition," contracts and on-chain data will become important nutrients for future risk control models.

The yen has recorded its largest increase in six months, sparking speculation about possible coordinated intervention by Japan and the Federal Reserve. After Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida warned of abnormal fluctuations in the yen, the dollar fell from nearly 160 to 155.6 against the yen, marking the strongest single-day gain for the yen in 2026.The New York Fed has reportedly contacted major banks regarding the yen issue, which is often a precursor to coordinated currency intervention. Analysts point out that coordinated intervention could have effects similar to those in 2008, injecting significant liquidity into global markets. CFA Michael Gayed stated that a joint action by the U.S. and Japan could prevent the Bank of Japan from being forced to sell U.S. Treasuries while deliberately allowing the dollar to depreciate to support the yen.A weaker dollar could boost global asset prices, including stocks, commodities, and cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin has a strong positive correlation with the yen and a negative correlation with the dollar. Previously, a slight interest rate hike by the Bank of Japan in August 2024 triggered a $15 billion sell-off in cryptocurrencies, causing Bitcoin to drop from $64,000 to $49,000.

A survey conducted by the Bitcoin mining company GoMining among 5,700 respondents shows that over 55% of cryptocurrency holders rarely or never spend Bitcoin, but nearly 80% support broader adoption and believe in BTC as a payment method.Respondents pointed out that the main factors limiting Bitcoin payments include limited merchant acceptance, high fees, and privacy and security concerns. GoMining CEO Mark Zalan stated: Users want to spend cryptocurrency frictionlessly and earn rewards while spending.However, Artemis data also shows that monthly transaction volume for crypto cards surged from $100 million at the beginning of 2023 to $1.5 billion by the end of 2025, indicating that payment infrastructure is improving.

Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan stated, "Morgan Stanley currently manages 20 ETFs, but most are launched under brands like Calvert / Parametric / Eaton Vance. The Bitcoin and Solana ETFs applied for this time will be the 3rd and 4th ETFs directly operated under the 'Morgan Stanley' brand, which is quite remarkable."

The price of Bitcoin is currently hovering around $90,000, down from its historical peak of $126,000, while gold, silver, and U.S. stocks have accelerated upward as the year ends. The market has shown a rare "divergent trend," which is not solely driven by risk aversion but may be a "strategic response" from institutions and funds to the global monetary system.Ramnivas Mundada, Head of Economic Research and Corporate Research at GlobalData, predicts that the process of de-dollarization will accelerate against the backdrop of global central banks continuously adjusting their reserve structures and reducing reliance on dollar assets. By 2026, gold may further increase by 8%-15%, while silver could rise by 20%-35%.
