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: Qivalis, backed by 37 European banks, plans to launch a euro stablecoin within months.

According to Ripple’s official blog, Qivalis, an Amsterdam-based joint venture of 37 major European financial institutions, has been authorized by the Dutch central bank (De Nederlandsche Bank, DNB) as an electronic money institution. This clears a core regulatory barrier for the group to issue a euro stablecoin under the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation, with plans to complete the launch in the coming months after DNB reviews its whitepaper. The stablecoin is backed by 1:1 reserves and designed for institutional use cases including payments, settlements, and tokenized assets. The alliance began with 12 founding banks and now includes 37 institutions across 15 countries. Ripple noted that the market capitalization of euro stablecoins rose from around €50 million at the start of 2024 to €450 million in January 2026, compared to the roughly $300 billion market size of U.S. dollar stablecoins. Qivalis will handle minting, reserve backing, and redemptions under its own authorization and technology, while member banks will decide independently how to custody the asset for their clients. Ripple added that alliance members including BBVA and DZ BANK have already used Ripple Custody. Cassie Craddock, Ripple’s Vice President and Managing Director, said that as MiCA is rolled out across Europe, regional banks are more confident to launch digital asset services demanded by their customers. For background, DZ BANK, which has around €350 billion in assets under custody, has integrated Ripple Custody into its existing custody processes, with early use cases including custody of Siemens’ tokenized bonds. BBVA, meanwhile, launched crypto asset trading and custody services in its Spanish operations after Spain’s MiCA framework took effect in July 2025; the service was previously rolled out in Switzerland and Turkey, with the bank holding its clients’ asset keys itself.

AntPool has mined the Bitcoin block with the second-highest number of transactions in Bitcoin history, earning just around $180 in total transaction fees.

According to CoinDesk, AntPool mined Bitcoin block 974961 last Saturday, which included 11,255 transactions. Per mempool.space data, this number is 984 transactions short of the network record of 12,239 set by F2Pool’s block 367853 on August 1, 2015, making it the second-highest transaction count block in Bitcoin’s recorded history. The transactions collectively generated 240,533 satoshis in fees. At Sunday’s Bitcoin price of roughly $75,800, that amounts to around $180. AntPool’s total revenue from the block was approximately $237,000, almost entirely from the fixed 3.125 BTC block subsidy. mempool.space rounded the block’s median fee rate to 0. CoinDesk sampling revealed a batch of ~80-byte transactions in the block’s middle, each paying just 1 satoshi in fees—below Bitcoin Core 29.1’s default relay threshold of 0.1 satoshi per virtual byte. This threshold is a node policy, not a consensus rule, so blocks including lower-fee transactions remain valid. On November 4, AntPool’s block 974557 also included 10,573 transactions, with fees totaling around $110. The 2015 record block paid 0.22582926 BTC in fees, 94 times the current amount. At the time, Bitcoin traded at roughly $285, so fees were about $64, while the 25 BTC block subsidy was around $7,100. Bitcoin’s block subsidy is scheduled to halve to 1.5625 BTC around April 2028 at block 1,050,000. CoinDesk noted that this block’s fees account for less than 0.2% of the subsidy reduction miners will face after the halving.
