March 30th – Per GMGN monitoring (link: https://gmgn.ai/sol/token/i_m4TE56o8_VDoRrZix72Er41foJAdKrwFqYNozPbktuPa4Xy1A7Au), Solana-based meme coin VDOR has trended steadily upward in a stepwise pattern since March 21st. As of today, its market cap has topped $15 million, with a 10% 24-hour gain and ~$1.9 million in trading volume. Over half the funds held by VDOR’s top 100 addresses trace back to the same team (addresses starting with G2YxR). This team previously ran meme coin UGOR (link: https://gmgn.ai/sol/token/i_m4TE56o8_UGoRwdj9SK78V6Pq9YMz9BvmNuJTLNqPZyS5WnGd8uW) with an identical playbook: UGOR’s market cap spiked unilaterally to $23 million on March 19th before crashing below $5 million, then plunged again on March 21st. VDOR launched the same day and quickly surged past $5 million—timing that strongly points to a pump-and-dump scheme.

March 30th — Foreign media reports note the U.S. market is set for notable scheduling this week. As the U.S. transitions from March to April, labor market data will take center stage. First up: Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell is scheduled to speak at 22:30 ET later today. While U.S.-Iran headline risks remain a key watchpoint, Powell’s appearance tops this week’s agenda. Powell will join a moderated discussion for Harvard’s introductory Principles of Economics course — part of the university’s core economics curriculum. No specific topic is set, but he’s expected to touch on the economy, inflation, and monetary policy broadly. Analysts anticipate he’ll avoid any discussion of Fed politicization. Still, it’s widely expected former President Trump will again criticize Powell following the event. This could happen if Powell mentions the Fed’s desire to pause rate moves or keep flexibility amid Middle East tensions. Ironically, the situation stems from Trump’s own actions — yet h

March 30: Per HyperInsight monitoring, the trader known as "Buddy" had their long positions liquidated this morning amid a market dip—but they actively re-entered long positions later that morning, with a total notional value exceeding $11.82 million. Specific positions include: - 25x leveraged ETH long: 4,425 coins, liquidation price $1,963.61 - 40x leveraged BTC long: 36 coins, liquidation price $57,364.1 - 10x leveraged HYPE long: 9,888.88 coins ### Notes on U.S. English adaptation: 1. **Clarity for audiences**: "Trader known as 'Buddy'" (instead of bare "buddy") clarifies it’s a specific nickname, common in U.S. crypto reporting. 2. **Terminology precision**: "Notional value" (not just "total value") aligns with trading jargon used in U.S. markets. 3. **Flow**: "Later that morning" (instead of repeating "this morning") improves temporal logic for same-day actions. 4. **Format**: Bullet points (standard in U.S. financial/ crypto quick updates) make positions scanna

On March 30, CryptoQuant reported that Strategy is now the sole dominant buyer in Bitcoin (BTC) reserve demand. It has accumulated roughly 45,000 BTC over the past 30 days—its fastest pace of accumulation in nearly a year—with its holdings making up roughly 76% of total corporate reserve holdings. Meanwhile, non-Strategy firms’ BTC purchases have fallen to just 1,000 BTC—down 99% from their peak and accounting for only 2% of total corporate buys—with new demand nearly drying up. Related companies have made only 13 purchases in the period (compared to a peak of 54), signaling a sharp pullback in both capital inflows and participation. Overall, BTC reserve demand is now heavily concentrated on Strategy.

**Reuters Columnist: Global Energy Market in "Second-Worst Scenario" 1 Month After U.S.-Israeli Iran Strike** In a March 30 column, Reuters’ Clyde Russell noted that one month after the U.S. and Israel carried out strikes on Iran, the global supply market for crude oil, refined products, and liquefied natural gas (LNG) has entered the “second-worst scenario.” The article also outlined the conflict’s worst-case outcome: a sharp escalation where Iran uses missiles and drones to inflict widespread damage on Gulf energy infrastructure—including oil pipelines, refineries, processing facilities, and export terminals. The most likely trigger would be U.S. ground forces attempting to seize and control Iranian-controlled territory, such as the Kharg Island oil terminal or small islands in the Strait of Hormuz. Deploying ground forces is reportedly an option U.S. President Trump is weighing, and U.S. military assets in the region are ramping up. Even if a tactical invasion succeeds, how
