Trump: If Iran Charges Toll for Passage in the Strait of Hormuz, U.S. Will 'Snap Back'
**March 30 – U.S. President Donald Trump, when asked about Iran’s plan to impose tolls for transit through the Strait of Hormuz, said Wednesday he first needs to verify the report—but emphasized the U.S. can “terminate this action very quickly. We can do the job in two minutes. We can do it so fast that you’ll feel dizzy.”**
He also noted Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Bahrain are pushing back against Iran. “I was very surprised they’re being attacked, but once attacks happen, their counterattacks are very good,” he said. “We have very strong communication with them, but people in all these countries are saying they’ve been fighting.”

Current mainstream CEX and DEX funding rate display indicates the market is back to full bearishness
March 30 — Per Coinglass data, Bitcoin dipped to $65,000 this morning. Funding rates across major centralized (CEX) and decentralized (DEX) exchanges now signal a return to overall bearish sentiment, with specific rates detailed in the attached chart.
BlockBeats Note: Funding rates are fees set by crypto exchanges to keep contract prices aligned with underlying asset values, typically for perpetual contracts. They facilitate fund transfers between long and short traders—exchanges do not collect these fees. The mechanism adjusts traders’ holding costs or profits to narrow gaps between contract and underlying prices.
Rate Guideline: A 0.01% rate is the baseline. Rates above 0.01% indicate a generally bullish market; rates below 0.005% signal a bearish market.
