According to CoinDesk, the U.S. March CPI data will be released on Friday. Markets expect the annual growth rate to jump from 2.4% in February to 3.4%, yet Bitcoin markets have reacted calmly. The options market currently prices in only about a 2.5% volatility range, and the BVIV Index (30-day implied volatility) has fallen to 46.5%, its lowest level since January 31. Traders broadly view this release as non-eventful. This CPI report is drawing heightened attention primarily due to energy shocks triggered by the Iran conflict—U.S. gasoline prices surged above $4 per gallon in March, the first time since August 2022. Multiple analysts note that softer-than-expected data could revive rate-cut expectations, while hotter data would reinforce the “higher-for-longer” interest-rate narrative—exerting an asymmetric impact on crypto markets.

According to Cointelegraph, blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis released a report stating that stablecoin-adjusted transaction volume is projected to reach $719 trillion by 2035—marking a substantial increase from $28 trillion in 2025. If two major macro catalysts align, this figure could double further to $15 trillion, surpassing the current annual global cross-border payment volume of approximately $10 trillion. The two catalysts are: (1) the transfer of over $100 trillion in wealth from the Baby Boomer generation to younger, crypto-native generations; and (2) stablecoins fully replacing traditional payment rails as the default payment infrastructure. Rachael Lucas, an analyst at Australian crypto exchange BTC Markets, noted that strategic moves—including Stripe’s acquisition of Bridge and Mastercard’s partnership with BVNK—are concrete steps forward. Coupled with regulatory clarity provided by the GENIUS Act, institutional participation is expected to expand significantly.
According to on-chain analyst Onchain Lens (@OnchainLens), the Royal Government of Bhutan transferred 319.7 BTC (valued at approximately $22.67 million) to two wallets: one is a new wallet, suspected to be an exchange wallet; the other is an older wallet previously used for fund transfers and sales via OKX or Galaxy Digital.
According to on-chain analyst PeckShield (@PeckShieldAlert), the attacker established a $15 million long position in $Fartcoin (totaling 145.24 million tokens) on Hyperliquid using four wallets. Subsequently, in a low-liquidity environment, the attacker deliberately triggered a “suicidal” liquidation, forcing activation of the ADL (Automatic Deleveraging) mechanism. As a result, the HLP liquidity pool was compelled to absorb toxic assets, generating bad debt and incurring approximately $3 million in paper losses. The HLP has lost roughly $1.5 million within the past 24 hours. PeckShield noted that the attacker likely executed cross-market hedging strategies in advance, meaning the actual net profit may significantly exceed the reported paper loss figure.

According to Reuters, several hours before the U.S.-Iran ceasefire agreement was announced, investors sold 8,600 contracts of Brent and WTI crude oil futures at 19:45 GMT on Tuesday, placing short bets totaling approximately $950 million. Later that evening at 22:30 GMT, U.S. President Trump announced a two-week ceasefire agreement with Iran, prompting crude oil futures prices to plunge roughly 15%, falling below $100 per barrel. Notably, such large-scale trades are typically distributed across multiple exchanges to avoid price impact; however, this single, concentrated trade executed after settlement was highly unusual. This pattern mirrors a similar operation on March 23, when investors dumped approximately $500 million worth of crude oil futures just 15 minutes before Trump announced the postponement of strikes against Iran’s energy infrastructure—after which oil prices also plunged 15%.
