CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost stated that the current Bitcoin market is entering an early stabilization phase, with long-term holding behavior gradually strengthening, indicating that the market structure may be undergoing a change.Data shows that since October, the number of BTC held for over one year has increased from about 12 million to approximately 12.4 million. Although the increase is still moderate, it reflects a shift in market behavior towards long-term holding. Since mid-December, the 30-day change has consistently remained positive, indicating that investors are more inclined to continue holding rather than distributing their assets. Darkfost pointed out that this change typically signifies a transition from a speculation-dominated phase to a stronger long-term conviction phase. Historically, the proportion of long-term holdings usually declines significantly at market peaks and gradually rises during bear markets, so the current trend can be seen as an early stabilization signal for the market. However, he also emphasized that this indicator belongs to a long-term dimension and typically requires a longer time to form a clear trend, and we are still in the early stages.

According to CoinDesk, after selling 70% of its Bitcoin holdings, there are reports that the Kingdom of Bhutan may have stopped or slowed down its Bitcoin mining activities, in stark contrast to the actions of other major institutions and sovereign nations that are increasing their holdings in cryptocurrencies and gold (El Salvador's current Bitcoin holdings have exceeded 7,618 coins).It is reported that due to economic pressure, its hydropower is currently used more for selling electricity to neighboring India rather than for Bitcoin mining. Additionally, the decline in Bitcoin prices, the increase in network difficulty, and halving pressure are all squeezing the profit margins for mining.As of now, the national sovereign wealth fund managing Bhutan's Bitcoin assets, Druk Holding and Investments, has not publicly commented on the status of fund transfers or its mining operations.

Circle Chief Strategy Officer Dante Disparte published a response regarding the over $270 million theft incident involving Drift Protocol. Disparte stated that Circle only freezes USDC when legally mandated to do so, and this is not a unilateral decision, nor is it a backdoor or algorithmic monitoring. This reflects the rule of law in internet-native financial activities.He pointed out that the core issue facing open systems is that the legal framework's response speed lags behind technological development. Protocols, wallets, exchanges, and stablecoin issuers should regard security and accountability as a shared obligation, and DeFi protocols can develop on-chain technical protection measures by referencing the circuit breaker mechanisms of traditional markets.He also called for the legislative processes of the U.S. GENIUS Act and CLARITY Act to incorporate due process, property rights, and financial privacy protection standards into law before the next major security incident occurs.

According to Lookonchain, a whale who previously bought 163,405 ETH (approximately $440 million) and 4,000 cbBTC (approximately $296 million) in the over-the-counter market sold 899,999 RAVE three weeks ago at nearly break-even prices, cashing out about $229,000.The latest data shows that the price of RAVE has since increased by approximately 226%. If they still held that amount of RAVE, the current paper profit would be about $870,000.

According to CoinDesk, the cryptocurrency market is generally stabilizing, with Bitcoin slightly fluctuating around $71,700 and Ethereum at $2,180, continuing the low volatility trend of the past few months.In terms of technical indicators, Bitcoin's daily Bollinger Bands have narrowed to their tightest level since early 2024. Crypto analyst Eric Crown noted that since early February, Bitcoin's price has remained within the range of $63,000 to $75,000, and historically, whenever such a narrow range occurs, the price eventually experiences about a 40% fluctuation.According to CoinGlass's liquidation heat map, if Bitcoin breaks above $75,000, it will trigger upward momentum, forcing short sellers to cover their positions; if it falls below $70,000 in the short term, approximately $200 million in long positions betting on a breakout will be liquidated.One of the key catalysts on Friday is the U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) data. The inflation rate for March is expected to be 3.3% year-on-year, driven by soaring energy prices. Higher inflation data often strengthens the dollar, which in turn puts pressure on risk assets like Bitcoin.

According to CoinDesk, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the Department of Justice jointly filed a motion in federal court on Tuesday evening, seeking to block Arizona from enforcing state gambling laws against the prediction market operator Kalshi. The two departments argue that the contracts offered by Kalshi, which are linked to real-world events such as sports events and elections, essentially fall under financial derivatives (swaps) and should be governed by the Commodity Exchange Act and federal regulatory framework, rather than state gambling regulations.Arizona had previously filed criminal charges against Kalshi, with a court date set for April 13. Currently, there are conflicting rulings from courts across the country—while the Third Circuit Court of Appeals in New Jersey has leaned towards supporting the federal regulatory stance, other regional courts have taken an open attitude towards the state’s claims.

The ruling Democratic Party of Korea proposed the "Basic Law on Digital Assets" this Wednesday, aiming to establish a comprehensive legal framework for the issuance, trading, custody, and supervision of digital assets.The bill categorizes value-related digital assets, such as stablecoins linked to fiat currency or real assets, as a special category, requiring issuers to obtain authorization and meet strict standards such as capital thresholds, reserve plans, and redemption obligations. In addition, the bill will introduce a licensing, registration, and information disclosure system for digital asset businesses, prohibit improper behaviors such as market manipulation and insider trading, and propose the establishment of a Digital Asset Committee to coordinate policy.

According to The Block, the Democratic Party of Korea plans to incorporate tokenized real-world assets (RWA) and stablecoins into the existing legal framework, with relevant provisions included in the proposal for the Digital Asset Basic Law.The proposal requires issuers of tokenized RWA to deposit the underlying assets into a trust account in accordance with the Capital Markets Act; stablecoins are classified as a "means of payment" under the Foreign Exchange Transaction Act and are regulated by the foreign exchange authority without the need for separate registration. Small stablecoin transactions are exempt from foreign exchange reporting, while large transactions maintain regulatory requirements.In addition, the proposal prohibits providing yields on idle stablecoin balances and requires the Financial Services Commission to establish technical standards for stablecoin interoperability. The Digital Asset Basic Law is Korea's second set of digital asset regulatory regulations, which has faced multiple legislative delays, with the originally scheduled rollout in 2025 being postponed.

Binance founder Zhao Changpeng (CZ) detailed the Terra/UST/LUNA collapse in his new book "Binance Life." In 2018, Binance's venture capital department invested $3 million in Terra in exchange for LUNA tokens. Starting on May 7, 2022, UST began to de-peg and rapidly collapsed, with approximately $60 billion in value evaporating.At the same time, the team informed that the early investment in LUNA was worth $1.6 billion, and CZ decided not to sell to cash out, reasoning that he did not want to trigger market panic, harm the project, or be seen as running ahead of retail investors. Nevertheless, the LUNA he held plummeted from a market value of $1.6 billion to a few thousand dollars within days, resulting in significant losses for Binance.CZ pointed out in the book that Terra claimed to have billions of dollars in reserves but did not use them to stabilize UST, and founder Do Kwon lacked transparent responses. The design of UST relied on LUNA as a reserve, and after the de-pegging, the system crazily minted LUNA, increasing the total supply by 1,000 times, accelerating the collapse. Terra ultimately used $3 billion in Bitcoin reserves to try to save the situation, but it was too late, and he expressed shock that Do Kwon might have privately kept $200 million for legal fees.
