Iran to Impose Transit Fees on Ships Passing Through the Strait of Hormuz
Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister announced that Iran will impose transit fees on ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz.
Crypto asset management firm Grayscale stated that recent Middle East tensions and surging oil prices have led to a cautious market sentiment, with investors temporarily avoiding risk assets. Bitcoin has experienced significant volatility since the escalation of the conflict but has generally remained in a consolidation range, showing relative resilience. Grayscale believes that if the situation eases and energy prices retreat, the market could quickly return to a favorable environment. In the long term, the fundamentals of the криптовалюта market remain solid, including the continued growth of stablecoins and tokenized assets. The total stablecoin supply has increased from approximately $20 billion in 2020 to about $315 billion in 2025. The current period of uncertainty may provide long-term investors with opportunities to position themselves, laying the groundwork for the next growth cycle.
Trump: It’s Time for Iran to Make a Deal Before It’s Too Late

Circle to Launch Wrapped Bitcoin cirBTC
Stablecoin issuer Circle announced in a blog post that it will soon launch wrapped Bitcoin, cirBTC. cirBTC is backed 1:1 by BTC and is verifiable on-chain. Its design aims to work seamlessly with Circle’s infrastructure and the broader DeFi ecosystem, thereby creating a neutral foundation for new on-chain applications.
Bitcoin traded at $66,450 on Thursday, with approximately 44% of the circulating supply in a loss position, resulting in cumulative unrealized losses of about $598.7 billion (approximately 8.8 million BTC), weighing on market sentiment. Data shows market demand remains weak. Glassnode pointed out that the scale of this supply overhang is similar to that in Q2 2022, when about 3 million BTC needed to be redistributed before the market could recover.
Long-term holders (LTH) have begun selling below their cost basis. The cumulative realized losses for Bitcoin LTH have reached $200 million, indicating active “capitulation selling.” The current BTC price is also below the average cost basis of $83,408 for US spot Bitcoin ETF holders, further suggesting investor pressure.
The decline in market risk appetite is also reflected in investment product outflows. In the week ending March 27, Bitcoin investment products saw net outflows exceeding $194 million. Capriole Investment metrics show BTC’s apparent demand at -1,623 BTC. CryptoQuant stated that retail selling still dominates and confirmed the market is in a sustained distribution phase. The Coinbase Premium Index remains negative, indicating US investors have not entered the market on a large scale, consistent with the trend of shrinking on-chain demand.
X platform Product Lead and Solana ecosystem advisor Nikita Bier stated in a post that the X platform is advancing a countermeasure against cryptocurrency phishing scams: if an account posts cryptocurrency-related content for the first time in its history, the platform will automatically trigger an account lock and require identity verification. This measure is expected to eliminate 99% of malicious motives.

SpaceX IPO Targets Valuation Over $2 Trillion, Plans to Raise Up to $75 Billion
SpaceX has raised its IPO target valuation to over $2 trillion. The company is preparing to pitch what could be the largest IPO in history to potential investors.
SpaceX’s valuation will have grown by nearly two-thirds within months. In February this year, after SpaceX acquired Elon Musk’s xAI, the combined company was valued at $1.25 trillion. If it goes public with a valuation exceeding $2 trillion, SpaceX’s market capitalization would surpass that of all companies in the S&P 500 index except for Nvidia, Apple, Alphabet, Microsoft, and Amazon. It would also exceed Meta and Tesla.
SpaceX has confidentially filed for an IPO, with the listing potentially taking place as early as June. It is expected to raise up to $75 billion, far exceeding the previous record for the largest IPO—Saudi Aramco’s $29 billion in 2019. The raised funds will be used for space AI data centers and lunar factory projects.
SpaceX has selected Bank of America, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, and Morgan Stanley as lead underwriters for the IPO. It plans to hold a bank syndicate call next Monday, with analyst briefings scheduled for later in April. Bloomberg Intelligence analysts noted that SpaceX’s revenue for 2026 is close to $20 billion, with launch services and Starlink contributing the majority.

US CFTC Sues Three States, Claiming Exclusive Regulatory Authority Over Prediction Markets
The US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the US Department of Justice filed separate lawsuits on Thursday against Illinois, Connecticut, and Arizona, along with their gambling regulatory agencies, to assert federal regulatory authority over prediction markets.
In 2025, the aforementioned three states and their gambling regulators sent cease-and-desist letters to prediction market platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket, arguing that the event contracts offered violated state gambling laws and licensing requirements. In all three lawsuits, the CFTC asserts that it has exclusive jurisdiction over “designated contract markets,” including prediction market platforms, under the Commodity Обмен Act. The lawsuit against Illinois points out that the state’s gambling commission overstepped its authority by classifying event contracts as “bets” or “sports betting.”
CFTC Chairman Mike Selig stated that the states’ overreach has created market uncertainty and poses potential risks to market participants and registrants. Currently, 11 states have taken legal action against prediction market platforms. Meanwhile, members of Congress are pushing for legislation to ban sports-related event contracts and restrict political insiders from participating in war-related prediction markets.

Ledger Chief Technology Officer Charles Guillemet stated in a post that the attack method used in the Drift Protocol exploit is similar to the 2025 Bybit hack, which is widely believed to be linked to North Korean-affiliated hackers.
He pointed out that this attack did not directly target the smart contract but involved long-term infiltration of multi-signature signer devices to induce them to approve malicious transactions. The relevant signers may have completed the authorization operation unknowingly. Guillemet believes the incident highlights that security issues primarily stem from personnel and operational levels, rather than code-level defects.
Coinbase CEO: Will Personally Dedicate Effort to Research Bitcoin’s Quantum Resistance Issues
Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong stated that he will personally dedicate effort to researching issues related to Bitcoin’s quantum resistance, emphasizing that the industry needs to push for solutions early.
Coinbase Chief Security Officer Philip Martin previously noted that with advances in quantum computing research, the industry needs to accelerate its response to potential threats. He stated that post-quantum cryptography is feasible but still in its early stages. Hasty implementation could introduce new security risks, and consensus is needed on issues such as how to handle wallets that have not completed migration. Additionally, Coinbase has initiated related infrastructure upgrades and research, and is promoting collaboration among developers and the community to advance quantum-resistant solutions.

Related: Ray Dalio: If the US Loses the Strait of Hormuz, It Will Lose More Than Just a War
Original Author: Ray Dalio Original Compilation: Peggy, BlockBeats Editor’s Note: In most wars, disagreement and uncertainty are often the norm. But in this conflict surrounding Iran, the criteria for victory or defeat are exceptionally clear: who controls the Strait of Hormuz. This is not just an energy transport route; it is the ‘valve’ for global capital flows and the geopolitical power structure. Once the right of passage is weaponized, its impact will quickly spill over into oil prices, inflation, financial markets, and even the entire international order. The judgment given by author Ray Dalio in this article is quite direct: if Iran retains control over Hormuz (even just using it as a bargaining chip), this war will be seen as a failure for the United States in terms of outcome.…
