🇺🇸🐳 CryptoQuant data shows that as of the end of March, apparent demand for Bitcoin was negative by approximately 63,000 coins, indicating that new demand was insufficient to offset selling by existing holders. The report states that retail and other market participants sold more than institutional investors bought; whale addresses have shifted from continuous accumulation to net selling, with selling accelerating since the fourth quarter of 2025. Demand from US investors also weakened, and the Coinbase premium turned negative again.

He argued that Circle has centralized freezing capabilities but allowed the funds to move freely, stating, “We absolutely can freeze funds flowing to North Korea.” Onchain investigator ZachXBT described Circle’s response as slow, claiming that millions of USDC were bridged from Solana to Ethereum via CCTP for hours without being frozen, enabling the transfers to go through. #hack
