Last Week’s Market Highlights:
Alpha Insights: BTC repeatedly fluctuated within the $87,000–$90,500 range and gradually stabilized, but upward breakout momentum remains insufficient; ETH continued its low-level recovery, slowly rising after receiving effective support near $2,900, with overall rebound strength slightly stronger than BTC. CC surged 43.84% during the week, performing the best; ZEC and TON recorded gains of 17.51% and 13.98%, respectively.
On-Chain Funds: Ethereum led with nearly $200 million in net inflows, reflecting more of a defensive reallocation during the contraction cycle rather than a rebound in overall risk appetite. In contrast, Layer 2 networks with prominent transaction attributes such as Base and Arbitrum experienced significant net outflows. Crypto payment card transaction volumes continued to grow, and stablecoin payment scenarios accelerated, becoming one of the few application areas maintaining growth certainty in a cautious market environment.

ETH jumps 0.66% in 15 minutes: upside momentum from options expiry rollovers and ongoing ETF inflows converging
2026-04-01 16:30 to 16:45 (UTC), the ETH spot price oscillated and rose. The 15-minute interval return recorded +0.66%, with the price moving narrowly between 2133.04 and 2152.23 USDT, and an amplitude of 0.90%. Market activity remained consistently high; the number of active on-chain addresses reached about 420,690 within 10 minutes. Heightened volatility triggered short-term attention.
The main driver behind this unusual move came from changes in the derivatives market structure. From the end of March 2026 to the beginning of April, the ETH options market experienced the largest expiration event in history, with more than 5 million options contracts expiring simultaneously, significantly impacting market dynamics.
