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.

Ripple Prime launches RWA perpetual contracts for institutional clients, covering over 100 markets.

According to Bloomberg, Ripple’s prime brokerage division Ripple Prime is launching real-world asset (RWA) perpetual contracts for institutional clients, covering over 100 reference markets including stocks, indices, ETFs, and commodities. The product is offered via Trade.xyz on Hyperliquid, continuing Ripple Prime’s prior strategy of opening crypto perpetual contract trading to its clients. This setup supports cross-position margin sharing. Michael Higgins, Ripple Prime’s International CEO, said the move helps institutions improve capital utilization and position management efficiency. Clients can either pair perpetual contracts with underlying assets for basis trading, or use the contracts for directional trading to gain exposure to relevant assets during traditional market holidays and weekends. Over the past year, the open interest of RWA perpetual contracts on several major trading platforms has risen from near zero to $9 billion. Higgins also noted that traditional hedge funds are “very close” to directly participating in the tokenized RWA market, with the key being establishing infrastructure that meets their counterparty and anti-money laundering requirements.

Ledger Responds to Hardware Implant Attack: Incident Tied to Localized Distribution Channel Attack, Orders Authorized Resellers in Southeast Asia and Hong Kong to Suspend Sales

Crypto hardware wallet manufacturer Ledger has released a statement responding to hardware implant attacks, alleging that criminal groups purchased legitimate Ledger devices, installed hidden components designed to steal users' recovery mnemonics during initialization, and reintroduced the tampered devices to the market via Southeast Asian distributors. Ledger emphasized that its chips, operating system, and servers were not compromised, and characterized the incident as a localized attack on distribution channels after devices left the company’s control, rather than a systemic supply chain attack. The company has requested authorized dealers and distributors in Southeast Asia and Hong Kong to suspend sales. Ledger added that it purchased and disassembled devices from stores in Germany and other regions, and inspected its own warehouse and inventory samples, with no tampering detected in any tested devices. It is also tightening channel management: returned devices, even if appearing brand-new and unopened, may not be resold; products must not be placed on shelves or display areas, stored in backrooms, and delivered only at the time of purchase; distributors are required to report abnormal products promptly. Ledger stated that it is working with law enforcement agencies and the security community to trace funds and dismantle attack infrastructure, and will disclose more technical details in the future.
