Odaily Planet Daily News Bitcoin's rebound after hitting a two-week high on Monday is facing the risk of abortion. Against the backdrop of macro uncertainty that continues to suppress market sentiment, it shows the characteristics of a "buy trap". Potential tariff escalation and inflation concerns are still suppressing Bitcoin prices. CryptoQuant data shows that Bitcoin prices rose to $88,786 on Monday, but the funding rate turned negative, indicating that traders are unwilling to pay a premium for opening new long positions in the perpetual contract market, and leverage demand has shown signs of cooling. SignalPlus partner Augustine Fan pointed out that the market direction needs to wait for the key policy node on April 2 to become clear. The next important catalyst will be the "Liberation Day" tariff announcement. As the Trump administration plans to announce a new round of tariff plans on that day, macro policy uncertainty may once again become the fuse that breaks the balance of the crypto market.

Odaily Planet Daily News According to the official announcement, Metaplanet announced that the previously issued 2 billion yen eighth ordinary bonds have been redeemed in advance and repaid in full. It is reported that Metaplanet has previously issued the eighth ordinary bonds to EVO Fund, with a maturity date of September 11, 2025. Since these bonds do not bear interest, the impact on Metaplanet's consolidated financial results for the fiscal year ending December 2025 is small.

Odaily Planet Daily News Synthetix and Infinex founder Kain Warwick published an article on the X platform to expose the market manipulation methods of market makers. He said that in the IC0 era, if the project party did not reach an agreement with multiple "market makers", it would be almost impossible to complete financing, and the monthly cost was as high as 50,000 to 300,000 US dollars. Today, these market-making agreements have evolved into option structures. Some market makers manipulate the market through a low float model, shorting at the highest point of TGE, covering at the bottom, and exercising the right to smash the market after pulling the market again. SBF's previous use of a low float model further fueled this arbitrage strategy. Recently, the new gameplay is that the project party sells tokens to the liquidity fund at a discount before TGE, and instructs the market maker to sell directly after the low float pulls the market. DWF Labs once operated Synthetix through a similar method, first buying coins from the treasury to pull the market, and then smashing the market to cash out. There are many ways for project parties to extract value from token buyers. If you see a large amount of tokens being transferred to a “market maker”, be wary, they may just be using you as exit liquidity.”
