Market overview
BTC has experienced a positive month-end close, indicating a robust overall trend. The adjustment range from this round's peak to its lowest point is a mere 17.6%, with the corrective phase extending over 18 days until April 1st. Both the depth and duration of this adjustment period are relatively short from a technical standpoint. In terms of major capital flows, the BTC halving is less than a month away. Once sufficient time for adjustment has elapsed, strategic market maneuvers can quickly attract market funds. Leveraging the narrative surrounding BTC halving, it's plausible for BTC to swiftly surpass its previous high of $73,777. The adjustment process may manifest as either a sideways range oscillation ($68,200-$71,000) or a false breakout in an "M" shape pattern followed by a pullback. Regardless of its form, BTC is poised to continue reaching new highs in the future.
BTC Spot ETF
According to Coinglass data, the total market value of BTC ETFs (both spot and futures ETF) is $62.092 billion, with total assets under management (AUM) at $58.341 billion. There has been a net inflow of funds amounting to $12.13 billion. The strong demand has led to a BTC supply shortage. CryptoQuant's recent weekly report suggests that due to surging BTC demand and declining seller liquidity, liquid stock has arrived at a historical low. The monthly demand for BTC has surged from 40,000 at the beginning of 2024 to the current level of 213,000 Bitcoins. It's projected that the existing BTC liquidity reserve from sellers can only sustain 6-12 months of demand at the current growth pace. Furthermore, considering narratives like BTC halving and Federal Reserve rate cuts, a growing number of institutions, funds, and family trusts might incorporate BTC into their asset diversification strategies. Data for March 29th has not been released yet.
Solana Ecosystem
With BTC climbing to $70,500, the activity in the Solana ecosystem swiftly improved. WIF set a historic high of $4.86 on March 31st, surpassing the market value of PEPE. The cat-concept POPCAT also reached a historical high with a market cap of $410 million, leaving 10 times room for growth compared to WIF. Traditional blue-chip projects on Solana, JUP, and JTO, experienced historic highs with single-day increases of 20% and 32%, respectively. Continual focus could be paid to yet-to-be-issued Defi projects on Solana such as Kamino, Marginfi, dflow, RWA concept project Parcl, and Defpin concept project io.net.
Stablecoin Track
With the listing and airdrop of Ethena (ENA) on the Binance Launchpool, the stablecoin track may be on the verge of a breakout. Among them, the algorithmic stablecoin concept projects AMPL and WAMPL have already seen a wave of speculation. The collateralized stablecoin concept projects such as MKR and LQTY have shown strong performance. The semi-collateralized stablecoin concept projects like WAVES, SPA, SPELL, etc., are still awaiting value exploration.
DIONE breaks historical high

This eliminates uncertainty about receiving tokens only after the opening. Dino’s contract is designed for automatic pool addition. This design avoids malpractice due to human factors and eliminates rat warehouses.
The current price of Dino is 0.00098 USDT. The issue price is approximately 0.0001 USDT. The historical high is about 0.022 USDT. The current market capitalization is $20 million, with a 24-hour increase of 18.24%.
