| SEC Completes Two-Year Review of Coinbase, No Amendments or Restatements Required The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has completed a long review of Coinbase's financial disclosures and ultimately did not require the company to amend or restate the relevant documents. Coinbase Chief Legal Officer Paul Grewal said the review covered 10-K filings for fiscal years 2022 and 2023, which took more than two years, and had fully resolved relevant comments with the SEC's Corporate Finance Department. In the letter, the SEC reminded that the company and management are still responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of the disclosures, and the completion of the review does not represent official endorsement. The process began shortly after Coinbase went public in April 2021, as compliance standards for crypto companies continued to evolve. In addition, since the Trump administration came to power, the U.S. regulatory attitude has become more relaxed. The SEC has withdrawn lawsuits against several crypto companies and has begun to develop a new industry regulatory framework. (cryptoslate) |

| Nigeria exposes CBEX Ponzi scheme, involving tens of millions of dollars Nigerian digital asset trading platform CBEX was exposed as a Ponzi scheme, causing a large number of investors to lose money. Although local media reported early on that the loss was as high as 1.3 trillion naira (about 800 million US dollars), analysis pointed out that the address was actually a Binance hot wallet, and the actual amount of loss may be closer to 12 million US dollars. CBEX calls itself "China Beijing Equity Exchange", but in fact it has nothing to do with the official Chinese institution of the same name. The platform uses AI quantitative strategies as a platform, promises to double returns in 30 days, attracts a large number of investors to participate and requires rebates for pulling people in. In essence, it is a typical Ponzi structure. The project was even promoted as a "poverty alleviation program" in Nigerian national media, further misleading users. By April 2025, CBEX suddenly froze accounts, and users were unable to withdraw money, which aroused public anger. Some investors surrounded its offices in Ibadan and Lagos, and a large number of victims also publicly experienced losses on social platforms. Independent analyst Specter pointed out that CBEX is related to other similar scams LWEX and PCEX, and is suspected of sharing website architecture and capital flow patterns. The wallet is also linked to Huione Pay, a Southeast Asian payment system, which has been listed by Elliptic as one of the main hubs for money laundering and telecommunications fraud, involving more than $24 billion in suspicious transactions.

| Analysis: BTC bullish sentiment has recovered, Binance buy/sell ratio has returned to neutral zone CryptoQuant analyst DarkFost pointed out that the BTC Taker Buy/Sell Ratio on the Binance platform has returned to the neutral zone, currently at 1.008, indicating that buyer power is re-dominant in the market and BTC bullish sentiment is showing signs of recovery. On April 14, when Bitcoin was trading above $86,000, the ratio once exceeded 1.1. Currently, BTC is trading at $83,810, down 1.47% in the past 7 days. If the price returns to $85,000, CoinGlass data shows that nearly $637 million of short orders will face liquidation risks. BTC's market share has risen to 63.81%, up nearly 10% this year, and CoinMarketCap's Altcoin Season Index shows that it is still "Bitcoin season". Although the overall market sentiment is still cautious (the fear index is 29), analysts generally believe that BTC demand is in the recovery stage. Real Vision analyst Jamie Coutts believes that the market may underestimate the possibility of BTC hitting a new high in the second quarter. AnchorWatch CEO Rob Hamilton said that the current price volatility is due to the "tug-of-war between tax and tax refund funds in the market." (Cointelegraph) |

| Analysis: XRP falls below the "rising wedge" support and may face potential callback risks in the near future XRP's "rising wedge" pattern broke in the technical chart, indicating that the recent rebound of $1.60 may have ended and sellers have regained control of the market. This pattern consists of highs and lows gradually converging, which usually indicates that the upward momentum is weakening. If the price falls below the lower track, it may trigger further declines. XRP has now broken through the Ichimoku cloud chart support, which strengthens the bearish signal. If it fails to break through the recent high of $2.18, the price may fall back to the $1.6 support level. (CoinDesk) |

| Coinbase Research: Multiple indicators show that the market may enter a new round of "crypto winter" Coinbase Research released an analysis report pointing out that due to the escalation of global tariffs and macro uncertainties, the crypto market may have entered a new round of "crypto winter". The total market value after excluding BTC is currently $950 billion, down 41% from the high in December 2024 and 17% lower than the same period last year. The report pointed out that major assets including the COIN50 index and BTC have fallen below the 200-day moving average, indicating that the overall market has entered a downward trend. Although crypto financing rebounded slightly in the first quarter of 2025, it is still down about 50%-60% from the high point of the 2021-22 cycle, which limits the entry of new capital, especially for Altcoin. Coinbase said that if market sentiment is cleared, it may usher in a turnaround in the middle of the year, but a defensive strategy still needs to be maintained in the short term. |

| Matrixport: Bitcoin ETF capital inflows are concentrated in leading institutions, reflecting that institutional demand is stronger than the widespread participation of retail investors Matrixport released a chart today saying that in 2025, the net inflow of funds into Bitcoin ETFs will be just above zero, despite a strong performance at the beginning of the year, with inflows of nearly $5.5 billion. This phenomenon is quite unexpected, as Bitcoin has outperformed US technology stocks this year and gold has also hit a record high. It is worth noting that the total net inflow of Bitcoin ETFs was $35.5 billion, of which BlackRock accounted for $39.6 billion and Fidelity accounted for $11.4 billion, which together accounted for the vast majority of the share. In contrast, inflows from other ETF issuers were relatively limited. This suggests that the current buying is more likely to come from a specific group of institutional clients rather than being driven by broad retail funds - if the latter, inflows will be more evenly distributed among various ETF providers. |

This shift is because trading bodies are minimizing the potential risks posed by U.S. sanctions and the SWIFT payment system. Matthew Sigel added that as the demand for neutral payment channels that circumvent U.S. dollar sanctions grows, the sovereign adoption of Bitcoin is accelerating this year. He predicts that in the context of de-dollarization, Bitcoin will account for 10% of global international trade settlements, and will push central banks to hold 2.5% of their assets in Bitcoin, ultimately making Bitcoin one of the world's reserve currencies. |

| QCP: Bitcoin Fails to Gain Safe Haven Appeal, Participants Still Lean Defensive Until a Clearer Picture Emerges |
| QCP: Bitcoin is not favored as a safe haven, participants still prefer to defend until a clearer situation emerges QCP said today that the United States has demonstrated its strength and strategic brinkmanship, implementing deterrence tactics through exaggerated tariff figures. The bond market is beginning to send warning signals. The 10-year Treasury yield soared to 4.6%, and the 30-year Treasury yield broke through 5%, disrupting risk sentiment. If Trump hopes to promote a stock market rebound during his term, long-term yields must fall, not rise. The sell-off in the bond market has increased pressure on the Fed to intervene. Now it seems to be approaching a turning point. Last week, the Fed said it was ready to take action to stabilize financial conditions. Governor Waller further emphasized this shift, suggesting that the Fed's attention is turning to recession risks, implicitly downplaying the problem of persistent inflation, which they now describe as "transient". The Fed has previously applied the "transient" label to a variety of inflation cycles, but these cycles are far from temporary. Nevertheless, the Fed's protection mechanism is gradually approaching, and the market now expects 3.5 rate cuts in 2025. Meanwhile, gold continues to rise as geopolitical tensions increase. As U.S. Treasuries and the US dollar lose some of their traditional safe-haven appeal, gold has now become the market's preferred store of value. Unlike gold, Bitcoin has not gained safe-haven demand. The “alternative store of value” narrative has failed to gain traction in the current macro environment. Market participants’ stance remains defensive. They are still focused on hedging downside risks until a clearer picture emerges. |

| Mantra: The team has not sold any shares and will release OM token support plan soon Mantra released a statement on the unexpected and large drop in the price of OM tokens, stating that there was no selling by the MANTRA team. 100% of the funds of the MANTRA mainnet OM team and advisory team remain locked, and the ERC-20 tokens are in public circulation and are not controlled by the team. Currently, there are 77.5 million OM tokens in circulation and more than 200,000 mainnet OM wallets. The initial forced liquidation sell-off created downward price pressure, and the resulting price drop triggered automatic liquidation events for leveraged positions with OM as collateral on various exchanges. Subsequent liquidations and collateral seizures created additional downward selling pressure, and some important OM traders were liquidated by centralized exchanges. MANTRA will release details of its OM token support plan, which will include an OM token buyback and supply destruction plan. MANTRA CEO John Patrick Mullin has publicly committed to destroying the tokens allocated to his team. |

Attackers can build fake "support pages" through Google Sites to trick users into logging in and steal credentials. nick.eth said that he had reported the Hong Kong issue to Google, but received a reply that it "worked as expected".

| Greeks.live: The structure of BTC block options orders this week is relatively complex, which may be due to market makers and large investors adjusting their position structures Greeks.live macro researcher Adam posted on the X platform that the largest option block trade today was a Bitcoin Bear Ratio Diagonal Spread block trade, selling 1024BTC of current month at-the-money calls, and buying 512BTC of next month out-of-the-money calls, with a nominal face value of $130 million. Traders expect that short-term volatility is relatively overestimated and Bitcoin prices will not rise sharply before the near-month expiration. This week, option block trading has been much more active, mainly in mixed position adjustments. The structure of block orders is relatively complex, which should be due to market makers and large investors adjusting their position structures. Recently, IV has dropped very quickly. On the one hand, large investors took advantage of the high IV to sell in large quantities, and on the other hand, buyers suddenly weakened their purchasing power, and market makers are also making targeted adjustments. |

| Analyst: Crypto market volatility will continue until the macroeconomic situation eases, BTC's decline is a positive in the long run Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell will speak on U.S. monetary policy sentiment later today. Powell's speech at the Economic Club of Chicago and the U.S. March retail sales report, expected to be released on April 16, may give investors some insight into the Fed's outlook. Kirill Kretov, senior automated trading expert at CoinPanel, expects volatility in the crypto market to continue until the macroeconomic situation eases, but the analyst believes that market price fluctuations are not important. We are currently in a period of economic fragility and overall risk aversion. These sudden fluctuations (up or down) are usually just noise and are part of a broader move to get rid of the weak. Now, the problem is not fundamentals or charts, but emotions and narrative control. Puckrin, founder of Coin Bureau, said that a slight pullback in Bitcoin prices may actually be good. A short-term pullback to the $81,000 support level would be a healthy sign. As long as the BTC price remains above this level, it means that the price will continue to rise. Now we can only pray that Trump will not make any more earth-shattering statements. (The Block) |

| Some liquidity providers profit from token lending, putting crypto startups into a death spiral. |
| Some market makers profit from token lending, which may "kill" cryptocurrency projects A market maker model called the "loan option model" allows projects to lend tokens to market makers, who then use these tokens to provide liquidity, stabilize prices, and assist projects in listing on crypto trading platforms, but this model has become the "death sentence" for many new projects. Because behind the scenes, some market makers are using this controversial token loan structure to make profits for themselves. These agreements are often packaged as "low risk, high return", but in fact they will severely hit the price of tokens, causing the fledgling crypto teams to fall into chaos and struggle. Ariel Givner, founder of Givner Law, said, "The way it works is: market makers borrow tokens from projects at a certain agreed price. In exchange, they promise to help these tokens go online on large trading platforms. If they fail to fulfill their promise, they need to repay these tokens at a higher price within one year." But what often happens in reality is that market makers sell off the borrowed tokens, causing an initial price crash. After the token price is smashed, they buy back the tokens at a low price to make a profit. (Cointelegraph) |

| Powell: Don't expect the Fed to rescue the market, Trump is changing every day Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said on Wednesday that market expectations that the Fed would intervene to calm volatility may be misplaced. "My answer is no, but I'll explain," Fed Chairman Jerome Powell said when asked if the Fed would intervene in response to the sharp drop in the stock market. "I think the market is digesting what's going on, the market is dealing with a lot of uncertainty, and that means volatility," Powell said while attending a conference in Chicago. Powell said it was understandable that the market would have difficulty given that U.S. President Trump's tariff regime is undergoing a big change. He also explained that it is difficult to know in real time what is causing trouble. "I've had a lot of experience with major market fluctuations, such as the bond market, and often people will form an idea and look back two months later and find that the original view was completely wrong. So it's premature to tell what's happening in the market now," Powell said. For now, he noted that the market's turmoil is partly due to hedge funds reducing leverage or debt, adding: "In the short term, you may continue to see volatility in the market." |
