Bitcoin Spot ETFs Saw Net Inflows of $95.18 Million Last Week, Marking the Fourth Consecutive Week of Net Inflows

PANews reported on March 23 that, according to SoSoValue data, Bitcoin spot ETFs saw a net inflow of $95.18 million last week (March 16 to March 20, Eastern Time).

The Bitcoin spot ETF with the largest net inflow last week was BlackRock ETF IBIT, with a weekly net inflow of $191 million. IBIT's historical total net inflow has reached $63.26 billion. This was followed by Franklin ETF EZBC, with a weekly net inflow of $6.2057 million. EZBC's historical total net inflow has reached $375 million.

The Bitcoin spot ETF with the largest net outflow last week was the Fidelity ETF FBTC, with a weekly net outflow of $50.0706 million. Currently, FBTC's total historical net inflow has reached $10.94 billion.

As of press time, the total net asset value of Bitcoin spot ETFs was $90.3 billion, with an ETF net asset ratio (market capitalization as a percentage of Bitcoin's total market capitalization) of 6.44%, and a cumulative net inflow of $56.23 billion.

Resolv’s USR Depegs After $80M Mint Exploit

• Resolv’s stablecoin USR collapsed after an attacker minted roughly $80 million in unbacked tokens, triggering a sharp loss of confidence across DeFi markets.

• The exploit reportedly allowed the attacker to extract around $25 million in real value, while the protocol was forced to halt operations to contain the damage.

• USR fell to around $0.27, far below its intended $1 peg, showing how quickly synthetic or complex stablecoin designs can break under stress.

• The balance sheet damage appears severe: Resolv reportedly holds about $95 million in assets against $173 million in liabilities, leaving the protocol under heavy solvency pressure after the incident.

• The case also highlights a broader structural risk in DeFi: when privileged infrastructure or mint controls fail, “stable” supply can become instantly unreliable.

Insight:
Resolv is another reminder that stablecoin risk is not only about collateral quality, but also about issuance security. If mint logic or signing infrastructure can be compromised, the peg can vanish faster than liquidity can respond.

XRP Setup: Breakout Hopes, Shakeout Risk First

The latest XRP setup is starting to look more volatile than straightforward.

Right now, the market is testing an important structural zone after slipping below a consolidation trendline that had been holding for weeks. That breakdown puts extra focus on the near-term rebound, which may only be a temporary bounce before another move lower.

What matters now:
• The current recovery could extend toward the $1.40–$1.41 area
• A stronger bounce may even push XRP into the $1.51–$1.55 range
• These levels are seen as possible resistance zones, not confirmed breakout points
• The broader bearish scenario still points to a possible move toward $0.87
• For that outlook to change, XRP would need to reclaim and hold above $1.65

At the same time, some analysts see a larger bullish pattern forming beneath the surface. The current cycle is being compared to previous XRP structures where price formed a base, retested, and then moved sharply higher. That is why the market is watching this phase so closely: a shakeout now could become the foundation for a much bigger breakout later.

Market takeaway:
XRP is at a decision point. In the short term, traders may still see turbulence and downside pressure, but if the historical pattern holds, this unstable phase could be the final reset before a stronger expansion move.

Ethereum Starts Preparing for the Quantum Era

Ethereum developers are beginning to think further ahead than the next upgrade cycle.

A new Post-Quantum Ethereum initiative has been launched by members of the Ethereum Foundation, with the goal of building protocol-level protections against future quantum computing risks. The team says there is no immediate threat, but the migration work needs to begin early because upgrading a global decentralized network could take years of coordination, engineering, and verification.

The long-term roadmap points to protocol-level quantum solutions by 2029, with execution-layer protections expected after that. The effort is expected to cover Ethereum’s consensus, execution, and data layers, making it a broad security push rather than a narrow patch.

One of the biggest priorities will be protecting standard Ethereum wallets, since that is where the team believes the largest concentration of value sits. After that, focus would extend to high-value operational wallets used by exchanges, bridges, and custody providers.

Instead of relying on heavier approaches that could strain the network, the team says it is exploring SNARK-based signature designs to help preserve performance while improving resistance to future attacks. Even so, the harder challenge may not be choosing the algorithm itself, but upgrading hundreds of millions of accounts without introducing bugs, new attack surfaces, or major disruption.

Why this matters:
Ethereum is not responding to an active crisis — it is trying to front-run a structural one. That makes this less of a headline about quantum fear and more of a signal that blockchain security is starting to shift from reactive fixes to decade-ahead planning.

Plume General Counsel Advocates for Regulatory Amendments on Security Tokens

Plume General Counsel Salman Banaei addressed the House Financial Services Committee, emphasizing that security tokens do not constitute a new asset class. According to NS3.AI, Banaei suggested that these tokens should be integrated into the current regulatory framework through necessary amendments. He cautioned that ongoing policy uncertainty could potentially undermine the United States' leadership in the global tokenization sector.

Circle Unfreezes Additional Hot Wallets Amid Ongoing Case

Blockchain sleuth ZachXBT posted on X that Circle has recently unfrozen two more hot wallets associated with 500 Casino & Whale. This development occurred a few hours ago and has had significant downstream effects. Users have been unable to withdraw from a major centralized exchange to the previously frozen business hot wallet due to the Circle freeze, which was implemented in accordance with Know Your Transaction (KYT) protocols.

Despite these actions, there remains a lack of basic details regarding the case. Information about the plaintiff, expert witness, or any explanation from Circle on why the freeze was not contested has not been disclosed. The situation continues to unfold as stakeholders await further clarification from Circle.

According to CoinDesk, Strategy (MSTR) appeared to pause its bitcoin purchases last week, ending a streak of roughly 13 consecutive weekly acquisitions that began in late December and totaled 90,831 BTC. Executive Chairman Michael Saylor did not post his customary Sunday "Orange Dot" signal on X, instead referencing the company's perpetual preferred equity offering, STRC.

Strategy currently holds 762,099 bitcoin at an average acquisition price of $75,694. Shares remain approximately 76% below their all-time high, with bitcoin trading below $67,000.

CLARITY Act Yield Ban Poses Headwind for DeFi Tokens, Says 10x Research

According to CoinDesk, the proposed CLARITY Act's ban on stablecoin yield could prove a significant headwind for decentralized finance tokens by re-centralizing returns into banks, money market funds, and regulated products, 10x Research founder Markus Thielen argued. The framework would redefine stablecoins as payment instruments rather than savings vehicles and is likely to extend to front-end interfaces and token models where fee generation or governance resembles equity, Thielen said.

Decentralized exchanges and lending protocols could face tighter constraints on value distribution, potentially reducing volumes, liquidity, and token demand. Circle stands to benefit as the regulation embeds stablecoins more deeply into payment infrastructure.

Dubai Introduces Regulatory Framework for Crypto Derivatives Trading

Dubai's Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority has unveiled a formal regulatory framework for cryptocurrency exchange-traded derivatives. According to Foresight News, the new regulations permit retail customers to engage in trading following a suitability assessment. The framework addresses requirements such as customer suitability, leverage and margin controls, asset segregation, disclosure standards, and regulatory intervention powers. Retail investors are subject to a leverage cap of five times, and exchanges must restrict access to products deemed unsuitable for specific customer groups.

VARA stated that during periods of market stress or trading disorder, regulators have the authority to intervene, including suspending products, mandating position closures, and increasing margin requirements. In emergencies, immediate action may be required without prior notice.

U.S. Federal Prosecutors Investigate Potential Insider Trading in Prediction Markets

Federal prosecutors in Manhattan are investigating whether certain high-yield bets in prediction markets violate insider trading and other laws. According to BlockBeats, CNN reported that multiple sources have indicated that the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York, specifically the head of the Securities and Commodities Fraud Task Force, has recently met with representatives from Polymarket to discuss the application of existing laws to potential misconduct in this rapidly evolving industry.

The U.S. Department of Justice is focusing on these notable high-yield bets, signaling an increase in regulatory scrutiny of the sector. Over the past year, the prediction market industry has expanded rapidly under relatively limited federal oversight.

Stablecoin Velocity Doubles, Challenges $2 Trillion Supply Forecast by 2028

Stablecoin velocity has approximately doubled over the past two years, reaching about six times per month, according to Standard Chartered. This development complicates a key assumption behind the bank's $2 trillion supply forecast by 2028. According to NS3.AI, the increase in velocity is primarily driven by USDC activity across various blockchains. Despite this shift, Standard Chartered has maintained its broader forecast unchanged.

Wormhole Addresses Drift Protocol Attack Concerns

On April 2, Wormhole responded to the Drift Protocol attack incident on the X platform. According to BlockBeats, Wormhole assured users that their assets are not currently at risk, and the cross-chain bridge functionality remains operational. However, due to built-in security mechanisms set for Solana, some cross-chain transfers may experience delays. Wormhole's core contributors are in communication with the Solana ecosystem team and will continue to provide support as needed.

Senate CLARITY Talks Move Closer, But Timing Is Still Unclear

• Coinbase Chief Legal Officer Paul Grewal said the US Digital Asset Market Clarity Act is moving closer to a Senate Banking Committee markup, but no hearing date has been set yet.

• According to Grewal, lawmakers are nearing agreement on the core parts of the bill, while the main unresolved issue remains stablecoin yield — specifically whether issuers or platforms should be allowed to offer rewards.

• That dispute has become one of the biggest delays in Senate negotiations. US banks have argued that yield-bearing stablecoins could pull deposits away from traditional institutions, while Coinbase says there is no evidence supporting those fears.

• The House already passed the CLARITY Act on July 17, 2025, but the Senate process stalled after a planned markup was delayed in January and has not yet been rescheduled.

• The political backdrop is also becoming sharper. President Donald Trump recently accused banks of holding back both the CLARITY Act and the GENIUS Act over disagreements tied to stablecoin yield.

• The broader market implication is regulatory. Industry voices are warning that if CLARITY does not pass, the crypto sector could remain vulnerable to future policy swings and stricter enforcement under a different administration.

Insight: The bill is no longer stuck on basic structure — it is now stuck on incentives. If senators resolve the stablecoin yield issue, CLARITY could become the framework that gives US crypto regulation more permanence instead of leaving the market exposed to political cycles.

CZ Says Freedom of Money Book Launch Is Set for Next Week; Proceeds to Go to Charity

Binance Co-founder and former CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) posted an update on his book, Freedom of Money, saying the launch is “set for next week,” pending any final editorial round.

According to CZ, e-book pre-orders are now available in English and Traditional Chinese, and the English physical edition is also expected to launch next week. “Regional language editions will follow in the coming months — taking a bit longer, but we’re on it,” he added.

CZ also said he will not be making money from the release: “All proceeds from the book sales will go to Charity. Not trying to make money from the book.”

DOGE Tests a Fragile Zone

Dogecoin is still trading under short-term resistance after slipping below $0.0920, with price also staying under $0.0910 and the 100-hour SMA. That keeps the market in a weak technical position rather than a recovery setup.

The key issue now is structure. DOGE dropped to around $0.0889 and failed to reclaim important retracement levels from the recent decline, while a bearish trendline continues to cap upside near $0.0910–$0.0920. In other words, sellers are still controlling rebounds.

For bulls, the path is clear but narrow: reclaim $0.0920 first, then break above $0.0932. Only then does the chart reopen room toward $0.0950, $0.0980, and possibly $0.10. Until that happens, upside remains theoretical.

On the downside, the market is leaning on $0.0900 and $0.0880 as nearby support, while $0.0850 stands out as the main defensive level. A confirmed break below that zone could accelerate losses toward $0.0800 and even $0.0750.

Momentum also remains soft. The hourly MACD is strengthening in bearish territory, and the RSI is still below 50, both pointing to weak buying conviction.

Bottom line: DOGE is sitting in a vulnerable range where failed recovery attempts matter more than small bounces. If buyers cannot push the price back above $0.0920, the market may start pricing in a deeper leg lower.
