MetaPlanet has received a funding of $255 million, which will be used to hodl over 3800 BTC.

March 31 — Per on-chain detective ZachXBT’s monitoring, a Kraken user is suspected of falling victim to a social engineering attack, losing roughly $18.2 million. The attacker launched their operation roughly 45 minutes prior, using the SafePal wallet to transfer assets from the Ethereum network to Bitcoin’s network via the decentralized cross-chain protocol THORChain.

On March 31st, CryptoQuant analyst Crypto Dan noted that Bitcoin’s long-term holder SOPR (Spent Output Profit Ratio) has fallen below 1—meaning even “hodlers” are selling at a loss. Since long-term holders are the least sensitive to short-term price swings, their decision to realize losses signals broader market capitulation. At this point, short-term holders have likely either exited early or absorbed heavy losses. In other words, most market participants are currently in the red. Historically, this setup often leads to selling pressure drying up gradually, forming a market bottom or a zone near long-term lows. While it’s too early to call this an absolute bottom, widespread losses typically mark the final stage of fear—and the start of potential opportunities.

**Wintermute Weekly: Bitcoin Perps-Spot Ratio Hits 15x, Volatility Compresses — “Coiled Spring” Setup Brewing** In its March 31 weekly market report, market maker Wintermute noted Bitcoin’s perpetual contract-to-spot volume ratio has climbed to 15x, while funding rate volatility is at a cycle low. This signals high leverage but a lack of directional consensus — a setup the firm likens to a “coiled spring,” with potential for a large unidirectional move. Wintermute outlines two key scenarios: - **Bullish Catalyst**: Should geopolitical tensions ease meaningfully and oil drop to ~$100/bbl, shorts could face a squeeze pushing BTC to $70k–$74k. Further easing may test the $74k resistance level. - **Bearish Catalyst**: Conversely, if tensions escalate and oil hits $120/bbl, BTC could fall to just above $60k — and to the mid-$50k range if cyclical trends repeat. On a broader macro note, direction doesn’t matter here — the market structure does. Futures leverage is elevated, fund

On March 31st, on-chain analyst Ai Yi (@ai_9684xtpa) reported that Ethereum whale luggis (@luggisdoteth) emerged from a year of dormancy and is suspected of offloading ETH. A year ago, the whale unstaked 5,566 ETH from Lido (when ETH traded at $2,210.84) and made no transactions thereafter. Just two hours prior, however, he deposited 2,000 ETH (worth roughly $4.08 million) into Binance. It remains unclear if the remaining 3,567 ETH in his wallet will also be transferred out.

On March 31, Trump posted on his Truth Social platform, saying: “To all those countries that can’t get aviation fuel through the Strait of Hormuz—like the UK, which refused to join in destroying Iran—I have some advice: First, buy from the US—we’ve got plenty of oil; Second, grow a pair, head to the Strait of Hormuz, and seize the oil. You need to start learning self-reliance; the US won’t help you like it used to. Iran’s basically destroyed. The hardest part is over. Go get the oil yourselves.”
