Leveraged Long "Digital Gold" Outperforms Spot Gold, Whale Goes Long on BTC to Hedge Gold Short's Unrealized Loss

2026.03.02 13:05:03

**March 2 Update** Per Coinbob Popular Address Monitor (https://t.me/Coinbob_track_CN), whale address 0x610 has again attempted to go long on BTC in the past hour as its precious metals short positions expanded. This marks the address’s third long attempt in 28 days, and the move may be a short-term risk strategy to hedge physical gold using “digital gold.” The current position totals $2 million, with an average entry price of $66,200. **Three Days Prior (Feb 26)** At 10:00 PM ET, U.S.-Iran third-round Geneva talks kicked off, with gold hovering around $5,200 per ounce. As global funds flocked to safe-haven assets, the address flipped to short GOLD (gold mapping contract). **Feb 28 Developments** News of a U.S.-Israel joint airstrike broke, triggering a short-term gold surge that incurred losses on its gold short. Later that day, the address added to its gold short and opened a new short on SILVER (silver mapping contract), doubling down on bets safe-havens would retreat. **Subsequent Action** Early the next morning, the address went long on BTC.

Marex Launches Principal-Protected Binary Option Derivative Based on an Existing Predict Market Product

April 4 (Bloomberg) — Marex Group Plc, a global financial services platform, has issued what is believed to be the world’s first bond-like note tied to forecast market outcomes. Unlike traditional binary options contracts, the note’s terms specify: If Nvidia Corp. remains the world’s largest company by market capitalization one year from now, investors will receive a 7% coupon; if not, their principal will be fully repaid (with only potential interest lost, no full principal risk). The issuance totals approximately $10 million, sold to Swiss institutional clients and restricted to regions outside the U.S. due to regulatory constraints. Marex will dynamically hedge risks via prediction market platforms such as Kalshi. Per the report, this marks the latest Wall Street effort to “securitize” the power of prediction markets, providing a compliant, low-risk entry point for traditional large-scale funds.

Ethereum Derivatives Market Sees Rare Net Buying for First Time Since 2023 Bear Market

April 4 – Cryptoquant analyst Darkfost says a major shift in Ethereum’s derivatives market structure has occurred, marking the first such change since the 2023 bear market. Darkfost notes that while ETH’s net trading volume has been negative for most of the period since 2023, it has now turned positive. (Note: Net trading volume measures whether buying or selling pressure is dominant in the derivatives order book.) Right now, the indicator signals dominant buying pressure, with $104 million in buying volume. Notably, even when ETH prices neared a new high earlier, the indicator still showed strong selling pressure—but that dynamic now seems to be shifting. Darkfost argues the positive buying pressure could help ETH form a stronger bottom. If this momentum holds and the spot market plus ETFs start backing the trend, ETH may be set to resume its uptrend.
