According to a U.S. official and a source familiar with the matter, after three weeks of fighting, the Trump administration has begun preliminary discussions on the next phase and possible forms of peace talks with Iran. President Trump said on Friday he was considering a “gradual end” to the war, but U.S. officials said fighting is expected to continue for another two to three weeks. Meanwhile, Trump's advisors hope to begin preparations for diplomatic mediation. Sources revealed that Trump's special envoys Jared Kushner and Joshua Witkov are involved in discussions about potential diplomatic avenues. Any agreement to end the war must include reopening the Strait of Hormuz, addressing Iran's highly enriched uranium stockpile, and reaching a long-term agreement on Iran's nuclear program, ballistic missiles, and support for proxies in the region. Other sources indicated that although Egypt, Qatar, and the UK have all conveyed messages to the U.S. and Iran, there has been no direct contact between the two countries in recent days. Egypt and Qatar have informed the U.S. and Israel that Iran is willing to negotiate, but on very tough terms, including a ceasefire, guarantees against future war, and reparations. (Axios)

According to Coinglass data, the total liquidation amount across the network in the past hour reached $116 million, of which $109 million were long positions and $6.69 million were short positions. In addition, the liquidation amount of BTC reached $44.75 million and the liquidation amount of ETH reached $42.02 million.

Bitcoin fell sharply over the weekend, breaking below the $69,200 mark, a 24-hour drop of approximately 2.2%, and a weekly decline of 3.1%, influenced by Trump's 48-hour ultimatum to Iran and threats to strike power facilities. Dragged down by market sentiment, major crypto assets also weakened: Ethereum fell to approximately $2,114, while XRP, BNB, Solana, and Dogecoin all recorded varying degrees of decline. The Federal Reserve kept interest rates unchanged this week, and its dovish stance should have supported risk assets, but continuous news of war risks made traders hesitant to make large one-sided bets. The previous market rebound driven by ceasefire expectations reversed rapidly over the weekend. Analysts believe that if Iran does not restore passage through the Strait of Hormuz within the deadline, the conflict may escalate further to the energy infrastructure level. Coupled with the disruption of approximately 20% of global oil and gas transportation, this could continue to suppress the performance of risk assets. (CoinDesk)

A stablecoin associated with Resolv Labs has lost its peg to the US dollar following an exploit that allowed an attacker to generate millions of tokens. According to Cointelegraph, Resolv Labs announced on X that an attacker had minted 50 million unbacked Resolv USR (USR) tokens. The team has paused all protocol functions to prevent further malicious activities and is actively working on recovery. The X account 'yieldsandmore' reported earlier that USR had crashed after on-chain data revealed an attacker minted 50 million USR by depositing $100,000 worth of USDC stablecoin. Additionally, the attacker managed to mint another 30 million USR tokens, as confirmed by crypto security firm PeckShield. D2 Finance noted that the minting function on USR’s contract was compromised, suggesting possible issues with the oracle, off-chain signer, or validation between request and completion. This exploit occurs amid a decline in crypto-related hacks, with February seeing $49 million lost to exploits compared to $385 million in January. Attackers are increasingly favoring phishing scams over protocol exploits. D2 Finance highlighted that the attacker swiftly moved the 50 million USR tokens to various crypto protocols, exchanging them for stablecoins USDC and USDt (USDT) before converting them to Ether (ETH). The firm described the attacker's cashout strategy as a typical DeFi hack exit. D2 Finance further noted that USR was trading as low as 50 cents in some transactions due to worsening liquidity and slippage across protocols, with multiple failed transactions visible on-chain. The attacker reportedly extracted around $25 million from the exploit, contributing to USR’s depeg. Currently, USR is trading at approximately 87 cents, about 13% below its intended $1 peg, according to CoinGecko. The token experienced a significant drop to 2.5 cents in a USR/USDC pool on Curve Finance, USR’s most liquid pool with a 24-hour volume of $3.6 million, as per DEX Screener. USR reached its lowest point on Curve at 2:38 am UTC on Sunday, shortly after the attacker minted $50 million worth of the token. The pool has since recovered, with USR trading at 84.5 cents.

Pan Gongsheng, Governor of the People's Bank of China (PBOC), stated at the China Development Forum 2026 on March 22 that the PBOC will steadily promote high-level opening-up of the financial sector. This includes deepening financial market connectivity and cross-border payment system interconnection to facilitate investment in China's financial markets by more investors. China's stock and bond markets are both the second largest globally, with continuously improving market depth, resilience, and liquidity. By the end of 2025, overseas institutions and individuals will hold over RMB 10 trillion in RMB financial assets, including stocks, bonds, deposits, and loans. The PBOC welcomes overseas investors to participate in and invest in China's financial markets. In recent years, RMB internationalization has made positive progress, providing more diversified currency options for domestic and foreign entities. Currently, RMB financing costs are relatively low. In 2025, governments, international development institutions, financial institutions, and large enterprises issued over RMB 170 billion in Panda bonds, with even larger offshore RMB bonds issued in Hong Kong. The PBOC will continue to improve the institutional arrangements for the cross-border use of RMB and the construction of financial infrastructure. The PBOC will also conduct diversified monetary and financial cooperation, promote the development of the offshore RMB market, and facilitate cross-border trade and investment activities.
