In April 2026, Trump admitted that strikes had been launched against Iranian infrastructure, causing market sentiment to weaken and pulling the price of Bitcoin back to $66,300. Rising geopolitical risk caused financial markets to diverge; Asian stocks rebounded, while crypto assets came under pressure. If the situation deteriorates, Bitcoin’s support level at $65,000 would trigger technical selling. Market drivers shifted toward geopolitics, and in the short term Bitcoin is unlikely to shake off the impact of macro shocks.

By 2026, stablecoins in the cryptocurrency market will be more inclined towards the US dollar. Despite the EU launching the MiCA regulatory framework, the trading volume of euro stablecoins has decreased to about $100 million, lacking liquidity. In contrast, the monthly trading volume of dollar stablecoins remains at the trillion-dollar level, showing a clear advantage. In the future, euro stablecoins are expected to see some growth, but the dominance of the dollar in the market remains hard to shake.

Gate News Report, on March 10th, February's non-farm payroll data showed weaker-than-expected employment performance, forming a stark contrast to the market's general expectation of resilience. However, the market's rate cut expectations have not significantly adjusted as a result. The interest rate market data indicates that the next rate cut is still highly likely to occur in the second half of the year. This week, both CPI and PCE data will be released successively. Against the backdrop of the Federal Reserve's decision next week, whether inflation data can signal a cooling trend and resonate with employment figures will be the market's focus. Analysts believe that the rebound in energy prices may hinder inflation cooling, making it difficult for the data to shake the Fed's wait-and-see stance.

On February 24, it was reported that artificial intelligence company Anthropic launched a research preview of the Claude code security tool on February 20. The global cybersecurity sector's sentiment quickly weakened, with many leading American cybersecurity companies experiencing significant stock price declines. The market is concerned that AI automation vulnerability auditing technology will reshape traditional cybersecurity service models, triggering a revaluation of industry competitive dynamics. The tool is based on the Claude Opus 4.6 model and focuses on AI code vulnerability scanning and automatic repair suggestions. According to official sources, Claude can understand code context, track data flow, and identify potential vulnerabilities missed by traditional pattern-matching tools, while also verifying detection results to reduce false positives. Related tests have shown that the model has identified hundreds of high-risk vulnerabilities, highlighting the practical value of AI in the field of code security auditing.

American banking economists have pointed out that speculation about a potential "collaborative agreement" between the Federal Reserve and the Treasury Department has raised market concerns, believing that the details of the agreement are unclear and the possibility has already been priced in, making it unlikely to trigger price fluctuations. The agreement will focus on balance sheet reduction and U.S. Treasury bond issuance, with the impact mainly depending on monetary policy and restrictions on long-term debt issuance.

ChainCatcher reports that, according to Jinshi, a research report from China International Capital Corporation (CICC) states that choosing who will be the Federal Reserve Chair is unlikely to significantly alter the normalization and expansion of the balance sheet. Although the Fed began expanding its balance sheet in December last year, with marginal improvements in liquidity, narrow liquidity remains well below the lower bound of a "ample level." The US dollar liquidity indicator still shows a relatively tight state since the pandemic. Under debt pressures and financial market stability concerns, a trend of liquidity expansion is highly probable, suggesting a continued global asset bull market.
