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.

China's Supreme People's Procuratorate published an article titled "Systematically Resolving the Dilemmas in Criminal Law Regulation of Money Laundering Using Virtual Currency"

According to a report by Procuratorial Daily, researchers from the Yuhu District People's Procuratorate of Xiangtan City, Hunan Province, and the Faculty of Law of Xiangtan University have co-authored an article proposing a systematic solution to the regulatory dilemmas in criminal law for money laundering crimes involving virtual currencies. The article notes that current judicial practice faces three core challenges: behavioral characterization, evidence collection, and recovery of illicit funds and loss compensation. First, Article 191 of China’s Criminal Law, which defines the crime of money laundering, still limits predicate offenses to seven categories, leading to a large number of cases being charged only with the crime of concealing and disguising criminal proceeds. Second, tools such as mixers, privacy coins, and cross-chain transfers fragment the evidence chain, making it difficult for traditional investigation methods to trace the source. Third, conflicts in the legal status of virtual currencies, gaps in procedural rules, and cross-border cooperation barriers hinder the enforcement of illicit fund recovery. In response, the authors put forward targeted suggestions: For the behavioral characterization dilemma, shift from passive identification to active review at the judicial level, and activate the guiding function of procuratorial supervision and assessment standards at the supervisory level. For the evidence verification dilemma, establish adaptive authentication and review standards for electronic evidence, build a tiered standard of proof and reasonable presumption rules, and explore the authorization and standardized application of technical investigation measures. For the illicit fund recovery and loss compensation dilemma, establish a national-level cross-departmental collaborative disposal mechanism, and actively participate in and lead the construction of international rules and cooperation platforms.

Analyst: SK Hynix ADR May See Valuation Premium in the Short Term

Periscope Analytics analyst Brian Freitas stated in a report that SK Hynix’s newly listed American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) may see a short-term valuation premium. Freitas projects these ADRs will carry a 30% to 35% valuation premium in the very near term, after which the premium will narrow due to limited passive buying interest in these US-listed securities. SK Hynix raised $26.5 billion in its US offering and made a strong debut on Nasdaq last Friday, with its ADRs closing nearly 13% higher. The stock fell 10% in early trading in Seoul today.

Japanese Prime Minister: To strengthen support for startups and continuously advance the development of Japan's Web3 innovation ecosystem.

Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi reaffirmed during her pre-recorded opening address at WebX 2026 that the Japanese government will step up support for startups. She noted that with the synergy between the Web3 conference and government support policies, Japan’s innovation ecosystem is poised for further growth. Takaichi first touched on WebX’s positioning, stating that as one of Asia’s largest conferences focused on Web3 social applications and built on blockchain technology, WebX draws around 15,000 global attendees, making it highly significant. “This conference attracts numerous startups and hosts matchmaking events with various investment institutions,” she said. “For Web3 practitioners, it serves as an important platform for equal exchanges on the future of society and industry, mutual knowledge enhancement, and fostering further business collaborations—holding great importance.” Successive Japanese cabinets have consistently advanced Web3 strategies. Since the Kishida administration formulated the “Five-Year Startup Development Plan,” both the Ishiba administration and the current Takaichi administration have leveraged the WebX platform to directly convey policy signals to the industry. This demonstrates that Japan’s policy direction for promoting Web3 development has remained unchanged despite cabinet reshuffles, maintaining strong policy continuity.
