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.

Circle: USDC Becomes the First Stablecoin Supported by BNY’s Digital Asset Custody Platform

According to official announcements, Circle-issued USDC will become the first stablecoin supported on the digital asset custody platform of global financial services firm BNY, as the two parties deepen their cooperation on institutional-grade stablecoin services. BNY clients can now hold USDC in their digital asset custody wallets, and instruct Circle via BNY to mint USDC from U.S. dollars or redeem USDC back to U.S. dollars, covering the full lifecycle of institutional stablecoin operations. Kash Razzaghi, Circle’s Chief Commercial Officer, stated that this partnership is a continuation of the two firms’ long-standing relationship, bridging the gap between on-chain assets and traditional assets for BNY clients. Going forward, the two sides plan to expand this capability to additional stablecoin issuers and digital cash workflows.

He Yi on "freezing Satoshi Nakamoto’s Bitcoin after anti-quantum upgrade": This is not CZ’s original idea; his intent is to spark broader discussion.

Recently, CZ stated in an interview that if Satoshi Nakamoto’s Bitcoin addresses remain untouched long after Bitcoin’s anti-quantum upgrade, the associated Bitcoins should be frozen. The remark has sparked widespread debate in the crypto community. In response, He Yi noted: "The threat of quantum attacks is a core argument many in the mainstream community use to claim the Bitcoin network is not viable long-term. Addressing quantum attacks is also one of the key focuses of current discussions in the Bitcoin community. Over the years, the Bitcoin network has remained robust despite hard forks—when problems arise, we solve them. Entrepreneurs have always turned impossibilities into realities. The point CZ raised is one of the existing proposals within the Bitcoin community, centered on how to counter hacker attack threats. This time, he simply brought a topic being debated in the Bitcoin community into a mainstream interview for discussion."

BitMine added 27,084 ETH to its holdings last week, bringing its total ETH holdings to around 5.7 million.

BitMine added 27,084 Ether (ETH) to its holdings last week. As of June 28, 2026, its total ETH holdings reached 5,700,040, accounting for roughly 4.7% of Ethereum’s total supply. Currently, BitMine’s total assets—including cryptocurrencies, cash and other investments—are valued at approximately $9.8 billion, comprising $555 million in cash and securities, 206 Bitcoin (BTC), $180 million in equity stakes in Beast Industries, and a $74 million investment in Eightco Holdings. Additionally, its staked ETH holdings have risen to 4,879,157, representing over 85% of its total ETH position and valued at around $7.7 billion, with current annualized staking rewards of roughly $211 million. Tom Lee stated that this week has been challenging for crypto investors, with ETH falling 8%, despite positive developments in the Ethereum ecosystem such as the establishment of Ethlabs and the Bank of England’s softened stance on stablecoins. He noted that the “window dressing” effect typical near quarter-ends has led investors to offload assets that underperformed over the past three months, though the long-term development path of the crypto industry remains positive, supported by two core drivers: the on-chain integration of Wall Street infrastructure and agent-based AI payment systems.

Interpretation of MicroStrategy's New Plan: Board Authorizes Bitcoin Sales Under Three Scenarios

Strategy today launched its "Digital Credit Capital Framework," establishing a Bitcoin monetization plan and two $1 billion repurchase plans. Under the framework, the board of directors has authorized Strategy to sell Bitcoin periodically for three core purposes: 1. US dollar reserve replenishment: Generate up to $1.25 billion in additional proceeds to boost its US dollar reserves, which currently stand at approximately $2.55 billion (including unsettled proceeds from partial ATM sales). 2. Preferred stock dividend and interest payments: Use Bitcoin sale proceeds for dividend or interest payments when this is more cost-effective than issuing new shares or pursuing other financing, or to replenish reserves after such payments are made. 3. Repurchase support: Fund the aforementioned preferred stock and common stock repurchase plans, including covering related taxes and transaction fees. Important restrictions apply to all three use cases; any Bitcoin sales exceeding the specified purposes or amounts require additional board approval. The framework has no fixed expiration date, does not mandate the sale of any Bitcoin, and the company may modify, suspend, or terminate it at any time. BlockBeats believes this plan is essentially an authorization mechanism, functioning like a toolkit for management to monetize Bitcoin when cash is needed—such as paying high preferred stock dividends, replenishing reserves, or repurchasing shares to support the stock price. Against the backdrop of the crypto bear market, this is a flexible liquidity management strategy Strategy has been forced to adopt, though its core strategy remains long-term Bitcoin holdings and amplifying its exposure to Bitcoin through financial instruments.
