According to GreeksLive, today 21,000 BTC options expire, with a Put/Call Ratio of 0.66, maximum pain at $78,500, and notional value of $1.6 billion; 129,000 ETH options expire, with a Put/Call Ratio of 0.92, maximum pain at $2,200, and notional value of $280 million. This week, BTC concluded a one-and-a-half-month rally amid muted market conditions; expiring BTC and ETH options each account for only ~5% of total open interest. BTC’s maximum pain level lies close to the current spot price, implying relatively strong gamma/pin risk; ETH’s expiry volume is half that of last week, and its current spot price sits below maximum pain—short-term implied volatility (IV) is highly likely to decline post-expiry. IV across all major maturities declined broadly: BTC IV fell below 35%, ETH IV fell below 50%, and the Volatility Risk Premium (VRP) rose slightly. On the large-trade front, whales concentrated positions in bearish put spreads (5,000-lot 75K/71K puts expiring end-May), totaling nearly $200 million in notional value. Overall, volatility expectations remain low, and market activity falls short of expectations.

According to Bits.media, Ivan Chebeskov, Deputy Minister of Finance of Russia, stated that the final version of the government’s cryptocurrency market regulation bill will retain the prohibition on transfers from locally hosted wallets to unhosted wallets abroad, with more lenient conditions applicable only to participants in foreign trade activities.

The final version of the bill is expected to be completed next week and is likely to complete the legislative process before the end of the current State Duma’s spring session. Under the bill, starting July 2026, individuals and enterprises in Russia will only be permitted to legally purchase digital assets through licensed brokers, trust managers, or exchanges registered with the Central Bank of Russia, while access to foreign cryptocurrency platforms complying with sanctions against Russia will be restricted.

According to The Block, JPMorgan analysts noted in their latest report that tokenized money market funds currently account for only about 5% of the stablecoin market size and are expected to continue growing—but unless there is a significant shift in the regulatory environment, they are unlikely to surpass a market share ceiling of 10%–15%. The analysts believe stablecoins remain the preferred cash instrument in the crypto ecosystem due to their widespread use in trading, settlement, cross-border payments, and liquidity management. In contrast, tokenized money market funds—classified as securities—are subject to structural regulatory disadvantages, including requirements for registration, disclosure, and transfer restrictions, making them difficult to circulate freely within on-chain ecosystems. Although the U.S. SEC has introduced streamlined processes for issuing on-chain money market funds, JPMorgan analysts view this as only a “marginal improvement,” insufficient to fundamentally alter the market dynamics between these two asset classes.

analysts from CryptoQuant have pointed out that, based on a comprehensive review of multiple miner indicators, Bitcoin miners have not yet exhibited behavioral characteristics that "confirm a market bottom," and are currently in a phase of waiting and cautious adjustment. Meanwhile, the Miner Position Index (MPI) remains in negative territory, indicating that current selling intensity is below historical averages. Miners are not in a panic-selling phase but are engaging in "passive selling" primarily to maintain cash flow, suggesting that the probability of an extreme short-term decline is relatively limited. Additionally, the Puell Multiple remains below 1, further indicating that miner revenues are at historically weak levels, and overall profitability is under pressure. However, the strong accumulation behavior typically seen at cycle bottoms has not yet appeared.The analysis suggests that miners are currently in a "waiting phase," having neither triggered a capitulation-style sell-off nor entered an active accumulation cycle. This resembles a typical transitional state before a market bottom forms. Overall, while selling pressure from miners has eased, on-chain structures still show short-term supply pressure exists. Bitcoin is expected to continue its range-bound consolidation pattern, and market sentiment is likely to remain cautious in the near term.
