ChainCatcher news, Matrixport released the latest report stating that the net inflow of funds into Bitcoin ETFs is just slightly above zero, despite a strong performance at the beginning of the year, which recorded nearly $5.5 billion in inflows.This phenomenon is quite surprising, as Bitcoin has outperformed U.S. tech stocks this year, while gold has also reached an all-time high. Notably, the total net inflow into Bitcoin ETFs is $35.5 billion, with BlackRock accounting for $39.6 billion and Fidelity for $11.4 billion, together making up the vast majority of the share.In contrast, the inflows from other ETF issuers are relatively limited. This indicates that the current buying is more likely coming from a specific institutional client group, rather than being driven by widespread retail funds—if it were the latter, the inflows would be more evenly distributed among various ETF providers.

ChainCatcher news, Laser Digital stated on social media, "We want to directly respond to recent speculation regarding Laser Digital's involvement in the price fluctuations of OM (Mantra). Laser has no connection to the recent price drop of OM. The claims on social media linking Laser to 'investor sell-offs' are incorrect and misleading.We have publicly marked some on-chain transfer records of OM related to the Laser wallet. We clearly state: Laser has not deposited any OM tokens to OKX. The wallet mentioned in relation to OKX is not Laser's wallet.We are aligned with our partners, and our core OM investment remains locked. We have no interest in pressuring the token or undermining the project's stability. Transparency is important."ChainCatcher previously reported that, according to Lookonchain monitoring, at least 17 wallets deposited 43.6 million OM (worth $227 million at the time) into exchanges before the OM crash, accounting for 4.5% of the circulating supply. According to Arkham's tagging, two of these addresses are associated with Laser Digital. Laser Digital is a strategic investor in MANTRA.

ChainCatcher message, due to the Trump administration's tariff policy potentially undermining America's economic exceptionalism and weakening the dollar, the demand for hedging against potential dollar depreciation has surged to a five-year high. Institutional data shows that the three-month risk reversal index measuring the dollar against 12 major currencies (i.e., the spread between call options and put options) has fallen to its lowest level since the peak of the global pandemic in March 2020.The indicator dropped below zero for the first time in five years last Friday, indicating that the demand for put options benefiting from a weaker dollar exceeds that for call options benefiting from a stronger dollar. "The market's aversion to holding dollars remains dominant," said Chris Weston, head of research at Melbourne's Pepperstone Group Ltd. "The questions people have about the dollar are not just a one-day issue, but rather a potential significant structural change."

ChainCatcher news, according to Cointelegraph, Greg Cipolaro, the global research director of the New York Digital Investment Group (NYDIG), pointed out in a report on April 11 that despite the global tariff policy implemented by Trump causing market panic, the cryptocurrency market remains relatively stable. He mentioned that the perpetual futures rates for cryptocurrencies have consistently been positive, and while the liquidation volume surged after Trump's tariff announcement, the total amount was not high, and Bitcoin's performance far outpaced other assets, with volatility not rising to historical highs.Greg Cipolaro believes that investors may increasingly prefer to seek stores of value that are unaffected by trade turmoil. The narrowing gap in Bitcoin's volatility compared to other assets makes it more attractive to risk parity strategy funds. He analyzed that investors may be reducing their risk exposure, and allocating part of their assets to Bitcoin could be one reason for its robust performance. Additionally, the allocation of Bitcoin by risk parity funds helps to reduce volatility, enhance asset attractiveness, and create a virtuous cycle.

ChainCatcher message, according to the CryptoQuant Insights report, Bitcoin rebounded after Trump announced a 90-day tariff suspension, while the declines in ETH and XRP also narrowed. Despite the rebound in Bitcoin's price, CryptoQuant's bull market score index has dropped to 10, the lowest level since November 2022, and this index must break through 40 to indicate sustained bullish momentum.CryptoQuant analysts point out that Bitcoin's current key resistance levels are between $84,000 and $96,000. If bullish momentum weakens, Bitcoin's gains may be limited within this price range, similar to past bear market cycles. Therefore, the market must remain vigilant, as the movement of the bull market index depends on whether investor confidence can be reignited.

ChainCatcher news, according to CoinDesk, Trump's meme coin TRUMP will see a large-scale token unlock next week, with 40 million tokens unlocking on April 18. The project team will receive tokens worth $320 million, accounting for about 20% of the circulating supply. If the unlocked tokens are sold on the open market, the supply and liquidity ratio will be severely imbalanced, potentially putting further pressure on the price. Since its launch on January 18, the recent price of TRUMP tokens reached $7.14, with the current price at $8, representing an 83% decrease from its peak value.According to Dune data, the number of TRUMP token holders has dropped from 817,000 at launch to 637,000, with only 12,000 wallets currently holding over $1,000 in TRUMP tokens, a significant decrease from 143,000 on January 19. Token unlocks are typically considered bearish events; however, sometimes the market may price in expectations early, causing prices to drop to new lows before the unlock and then rebound slightly afterward. It is uncertain whether Trump's team will sell the unlocked tokens, but selling on the open market would put short-term pressure on the price. The 2% market depth indicator shows that the current liquidity level of $980,000 to $2 million cannot absorb the $320 million selling pressure.The meme coin craze is gradually fading, with the total market capitalization of meme tokens plummeting from $119 billion in December last year to the current $45 billion.

ChainCatcher news, according to Jin Shi reports, Federal Reserve official Goolsbee stated that it is currently the time to pause interest rate adjustments and take a wait-and-see approach, with a high threshold for policy changes. He pointed out that the labor market remains robust and is more inclined towards market inflation expectation data. Goolsbee believes that the current high tariff levels will temporarily push up inflation and harm economic growth, although some measures have been suspended. In addition, he stated that U.S. Treasuries remain the safest asset globally, and the recent strong auction of ten-year Treasuries has alleviated market concerns.

ChainCatcher news, David Cassidy, the investment strategy director at Wilsons Advisory, stated that investors seem to lean towards the view that Trump's so-called reciprocal tariffs will significantly decline before the 90-day suspension period ends. Cassidy said, "Compared to 24 hours ago, we believe this is a significant positive factor for the global and U.S. economy as well as major asset markets." However, he noted that there is still a great deal of uncertainty. Cassidy added, "Although the stock market has rebounded and the outlook has improved, some additional risk premiums on U.S. assets may be permanent or may take years to unwind."

ChainCatcher news, according to Decrypt, cybersecurity experts recently discovered a dual malware attack targeting users inside and outside the cryptocurrency industry.Cyber intelligence company Silent Push revealed in its latest report a malicious activity named PoisonSeed, which first forges login pages of bulk email service providers like Mailchimp and SendGrid to steal user credentials. Attackers send fake emails claiming that user accounts are restricted, luring them to log into a counterfeit website. After entering their credentials, the attackers quickly and automatically export the email subscription list.Subsequently, the attackers use the stolen subscription list to impersonate Coinbase and send phishing emails to the victims' contacts, claiming that the exchange "is transitioning to self-custody wallets," and includes a 12-word recovery phrase, tricking users into importing the wallet, effectively allowing hackers to take control of the assets.

ChainCatcher news, according to Cointelegraph, despite the SOL price dropping by 9% from March 28 to April 4, the on-chain metrics of Solana continue to strengthen. On April 2, the total value locked (TVL) in Solana's DApps reached 53.8 million SOL, setting a new high since June 2022, amounting to 6.5 billion USD, leading BNB Chain by about 780 million USD. Major DApps include Jito, Jupiter, and Kamino. During the same period, DEX trading volume showed strength, with Solana capturing a 24% market share, surpassing BNB Chain (12%) and Base (10%). However, the unlocking of 1.79 million SOL on April 4 released significant selling pressure, coupled with the waning popularity of memecoins, leading to uncertainty in short-term price rebounds. Despite facing MEV controversies, Solana continues to gain support from developers and users in terms of underlying scalability and Web3 experience, solidifying its second position among decentralized platforms.
