2026-03-30 00:15 to 00:30 (UTC), within the 15-minute window ETH’s price surged 1.21% quickly, rising from 1981.9 USDT to 2023.69 USDT, with a range of 2.11%. Market attention increased in tandem; during this period, the ETH/USDT trading volume rose by about 15% compared with the previous interval, the buy order ratio reached 62%, overall volatility intensified, and it attracted a large influx of capital into the spotlight. The primary driving force behind this unusual move is that ETF inflows hit a new high, while multiple institutions’ funds continued adding to their ETH holdings, causing the circulating supply to decrease significantly.

2026-03-29 22:00 to 22:15 (UTC), the BTC price fell 0.61% over 15 minutes. The price range was 66,230.0 to 66,716.0 USDT, with a volatility of 0.73%. During the period, market fluctuations intensified, attention increased noticeably, and capital flows moved in sync with the downward price trend. The main drivers of this unusual move are sustained net inflows of large on-chain funds to exchanges and continuous net outflows of ETF funds. From 22:00 to 22:15, major trading platforms’ BTC/USDT trading volume rose by about 30% compared with the prior 15 minutes, and net on-chain inflows were 8,420

Trump issued a 48-hour ultimatum to Iran, demanding the restoration of passage through the Strait of Hormuz, escalating the situation.

Gate News message: March 29, US Senator Thom Tillis’s office plans to publicly release next week proposed legislation related to stablecoin yield and reward mechanisms. It is still in ongoing discussions with industry stakeholders. The backdrop for this move is that some crypto industry participants, such as a certain CEX, have expressed dissatisfaction with the relevant provisions that were shown earlier this week. The CEX’s global investment research director, David Duong, said the industry is preparing a coordinated, unified counterproposal aimed at pushing for adjustments to the provisions to protect users while maintaining a sustainable rewards mechanism.

During the period from 2026-03-28 13:30 to 13:45 (UTC), the BTC intraday return within 15 minutes reached +0.71%, reported 66,458.1 to 67,150.7 USDT, with a range of 1.04%. During the abnormal move, large transfers surged, exchange deposits were promptly scaled up, and market attention increased while short-term liquidity tightened. The main driving force behind this abnormal move is that large-portfolio accounts have continued to distribute their holdings since the end of 2025, and in early 2026 accelerated transferring BTC to major exchanges, resulting in significant short-term sell pressure. On the derivatives market side, BTC perpetual contracts experienced increased open interest and trading volume, indicating heightened hedging activity and speculative interest, which further amplified market volatility.

2026-03-27 10:30 to 10:45 (UTC), BTC’s return rate was -1.28%, the price range was between 66,806.9 and 67,771.5 USDT, and the amplitude reached 1.42%. Short-term volatility was pronounced, market attention increased, and trading activity intensified. The main driving force behind this unusual move was the quarterly options expiry in the derivatives market. The concentrated size reached $1.416 billion, involving open interest of nearly 40% of the entire platform. Since the options’ “maximum pain point” was higher than the spot price, institutions and market makers conducted large-scale “delta hedging” to balance exposure, thereby amplifying market fluctuations.

Elon Musk is considering allocating 30% of shares to retail investors in the SpaceX IPO, significantly higher than the traditional proportion. This move aims to leverage the fan base to stabilize demand after the listing. The IPO is expected to be valued at $75 billion, with plans to kick off the roadshow in 2026. Meanwhile, SpaceX is making management adjustments to optimize costs, attract long-term investors, and reduce trading volatility risk. This strategy could influence the listing models of future tech companies.

UBS Real Estate GmbH, a subsidiary of UBS, has paused all redemption requests for its Euroinvest real estate fund, freezing withdrawals for up to 36 months. The reason is that liquidity cannot meet redemption needs. This move is similar to the crisis in the crypto industry, showing that the risk of liquidity mismatch between traditional finance and crypto markets is intensifying, and it may also have spillover effects on market liquidity.
