4E: US Stock and Crypto Markets Rebound, Focus This Week on US February PCE Price Index

2025.03.24 11:00:34

March 24th. Based on 4E monitoring, during the past week, the dovish remarks from the Federal Reserve and President Trump's statement regarding flexibility in the tariff plan successively boosted stock market confidence. After significant fluctuations, the three major indices closed up collectively for the week: the Dow increased by 1.2%, marking the largest weekly gain in more than two months; the S&P 500 rose by 0.51%, ending a four-week losing streak; the Nasdaq rose slightly by 0.17%, halting the previous four-week decline. However, large-cap tech stocks generally closed the week in a lower position, with Nvidia down by 3.26%, Tesla down by 0.53%, and experiencing a consecutive nine-week decline. The cryptocurrency market witnessed fluctuations but overall showed a mild upward trend. Bitcoin dipped below $81,000 on Tuesday and then rebounded. It surged above $87,000 on Thursday following the dovish comments from the Fed and hit a two-week high. After that, it oscillated around the $84,000 level. This morning, it experienced another rapid increase and was trading at $85,721 before the deadline, with a 3.18% increase in the past 7 days. Other major altcoins saw slight gains, with Ethereum striving to hold above $2,000, and the on-chain meme trend of BNB continued to attract attention. Signs of a market recovery are emerging, and investor sentiment is improving. In the commodities market, the US dollar index rose by 0.34% for the week, marking its first weekly gain this month. Tensions between Russia and Ukraine and in the Middle East continued to escalate, resulting in a more than 2% increase in crude oil prices for two consecutive weeks. Spot gold rose by 1.31% last week, extending a three-week upward trend. Last week, the Federal Reserve maintained interest rates unchanged, in line with market expectations, with the guidance for two rate cuts still in place for the year. Powell's remarks also brought some comfort to the market. This week, the focus is on the release of the Fed's preferred inflation measure - the PCE Price Index on Friday. Additionally, as the April 2nd "tariff deadline" approaches, market caution remains due to uncertainty. However, once the tariff outlook becomes clearer, the ongoing market turbulence of recent weeks may start to subside. As a financial trading platform that supports cryptocurrency, stock indices, commodities such as gold, and forex assets, eeee.com recently launched a USDT stablecoin financial product with an 8% annualized return, providing investors with a potential hedging option. 4E reminds you to be aware of market volatility risks and to allocate your assets rationally.

Analysis: Suspected Hack Manipulating THE Collateral Liquidation Resulting in Venus Facing ~$2.15 Million Liquidation Shortfall

March 15 — On-chain analyst Yu Jin reports that an address linked to 7,400 ETH from Tornado Cash (suspected of being a hacker) triggered a CAKE and THE collateral liquidation event on Venus Protocol tonight. The incident left Venus with an estimated $2.15 million liquidation shortfall (equivalent to ~1.18 million CAKE and 1.84 million THE), while the address had borrowed roughly $5.07 million in assets from Venus (including 2,172 BNB, 151,600 CAKE, and 20 BTC). Here’s the detailed process: 1. The address first received 7,400 ETH from Tornado Cash via the wallet 0x7a7...234. 2. It then borrowed ~$9.92 million in stablecoins (USDT, DAI, USDC) using Aave as collateral, dispersing funds to multiple wallets to buy THE. 3. Around 8:00 PM ET tonight, the address allegedly pumped THE’s price on a centralized exchange (CEX) — likely to set up long positions in advance — before depositing 36.1 million THE into Venus via two wallets as collateral to borrow BTC, BNB, CAKE, and other as

Aave Releases Post-Mortem on "Buy AAVE" Incident Causing $50 Million in Losses: Core Issue Was Insufficient Market Liquidity, Not Slippage

Aave Releases Postmortem on March 12 Swap Event On March 12, 2026, a user executed a token swap via the CoW Swap router integrated into the Aave interface, attempting to exchange 50,432,688 aEthUSDT (≈$50.43 million) for aEthAAVE. The order was disproportionately large relative to available market liquidity, leading CoW Swap to provide an extremely unfavorable quote—which the user confirmed. Notably, the Aave protocol itself was never at risk, as the swap occurred outside the protocol via the third-party service. The affected user has not yet contacted the Aave team. A key takeaway: The issue stemmed from insufficient market liquidity (not slippage). Insufficient liquidity means the market couldn’t fulfill the large order at the target price, causing severe price deviation. The user’s order far exceeded available liquidity, with CoW Swap’s quote being 99.9% lower than the expected market clearing price. The negative outcome resulted from the user confirming the quote, not pric
