Two Senior Fed Officials Talk About Tariffs and the Possibility of Interest Rate Cuts

FED officials emphasized that cautious steps should be taken in interest rate policy in the current economic outlook. Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee and Boston Fed President Susan Collins made important assessments on interest rates, inflation and trade tariffs. Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee stated that the course of the economy should be monitored before taking a new step in interest rate policies. “Right now, the Fed’s threshold for policy changes is quite high,” Goolsbee said, adding that all policy options should be kept on the agenda. Goolsbee said current tariffs will increase inflation and negatively impact economic growth in the short term. Describing the tariff system as a “major scenario,” Goolsbee said that although the Trump administration has suspended some measures, current levels are above most scenarios. Despite the previous sell-off in the bond market, Goolsbee said the strong 10-year Treasury note auction eased market concerns, adding that these sales were not limited to the U.S. Noting the difficulty of measuring financial conditions, Goolsbee avoided speculation on how the Fed would respond to market stress. Related News: Rumors Are Spreading About The Next Big US Move In The US-China Trade War - Here's The Leaked Information Noting that employment data remains strong, Goolsbee said he prefers to rely on market inflation expectations rather than survey data. Boston Fed President Susan Collins said the current interest rate policy is well positioned and that holding steady seems like the best option. Collins said there is still room for a rate cut in 2025, but that rising price pressures could delay that cut. Collins said the tariffs would put upward pressure on inflation and slow economic growth, warning that this could push core inflation well above 3% this year. Collins also said it was critical to keep inflation expectations steady. *This is not investment advice.

Markets Surge After Trump’s Surprise Tariff Pause — Except on China

In a dramatic twist that’s sent shockwaves through global financial markets, former President Donald Trump has as of late stopped on all tariff actions for 90 days — with one big exception: China. The decision, delivered in typical Trumpian flair, has ignited a wave of optimism among investors and traders who were growing weary of relentless trade uncertainty. After the announcement, the U.S. and crypto markets rebounded sharply, taking back the direction they had been heading in for the past week—one filled with confusion, misinformation, and sell-off panic that had so many investors deciding to divest. On the day of the announcement, Bitcoin’s price leapt to $82,600, Ethereum’s value jumped to $1,650, the S&P 500 stock index surged 8.1%, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite saw a stunning one-day surge of 10%. BREAKING: Donald Trump has just announced a 90-day pause on all tariffs, with the exception of China. This has resulted in immediate gains for cryptocurrencies and stock markets as traders FOMO back into markets. This positive news (albeit a temporary alleviation to a still… pic.twitter.com/zOWbDZflml — Santiment (@santimentfeed) April 9, 2025 The shift, although it is transitory and affects just a select few, has been enough to bring bullish sentiment back into a market that has become highly reactive—if not downright jumpy—to anything related to the trade war. From False Alarms to FOMO Today’s market activity couldn’t be any more different from what we saw just 48 hours ago. On Monday, traders were sent scrambling by a misreported story that was doing the rounds. It had us believing we were on the verge of a tariff pause — something we’ve all been waiting for. Of course, the story turned out to be wrong, and when traders realized we were still on the verge of tariff hell instead, prices corrected right back to where they’d been just before the rumor broke. Adding insult to injury, Tuesday then hit us with the news that we were slapping China with a new massive 104% tariff hike. Ouch! The present, definitively declared notification has altered the atmosphere, albeit for now. The primary distinction? At last, the cessation is endorsed—applying to all countries save China. Yet this exempting of China hardly resolves the wider issue of global trade turbulence. Still, it is more than enough to set can’t-sit-still investors, who have been abiding in sidelined status, in a FOMO frenzy. And signal it did. The markets wasted no time in pricing in the optimistic signals. Bitcoin, which had taken a beating during the false start earlier in the week, rebounded swiftly, now bolstered by a surge in risk appetite and a renewed narrative that it is a potential inflation hedge. Ethereum followed, although its gains were more muted, reflecting a continued divide in confidence between the top two cryptocurrencies. In the stock market, the rally was even more marked. The S&P 500 had its best single-day gain in recent memory, rising 8.1% as big investors and individual traders piled in. The Nasdaq, always more reactive to shifts in economic policy, leaped even more at 10%, as tech companies continued to benefit from the renewed hope of a somewhat improved global trade situation—not that anyone’s counting on it in the long term. Caution Beneath the Euphoria Even with all the excitement, market fundamentals are still as unclear as ever. A 90-day tariff truce is still just a truce. It doesn’t repair the harm done over years of back-and-forth trade battles, and with China still the main target, the largest and most prolonged uncertainty remains utterly unresolved. One trader observed, “Lately, the market compass has been greed and fear, and the crowd has been most accurate at indicating where the market is heading. And this bounce we’re seeing? It’s really about sentiment — not substance.” Traders who bought the dip in the past week, especially after Tuesday’s tariff shock, have received handsome rewards. But that could change just as quickly if the story shifts again — something that has become all too common in today’s markets, which seem more directed by emotional whiplash than by any grounded assessment of fundamentals. Indeed, the current market climate feels more like a narrative-driven soap opera. At present, the signal is clear: the market is very sensitive to news about tariffs, whether it is real news or just rumors. In these times of heightened volatility, even a short-term delay can set off a big market reaction. But just as easily, a single tweet or casual comment could send the market back down.

Democrats slam DOJ’s ‘grave mistake’ in disbanding crypto crime unit

Crypto-critical US Senator Elizabeth Warren has led six Senate Democrats in urging the Department of Justice to reverse its decision to terminate its crypto investigations and prosecutions division. In an April 10 letter to Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, the Senators said the decision to disband the department’s National Cryptocurrency Enforcement Team was a “grave mistake” that would support “sanctions evasion, drug trafficking, scams, and child sexual exploitation.” Senators Richard Durbin, Mazie Hirono, Sheldon Whitehouse, Christopher Coons and Richard Blumenthal signed the letter in addition to Warren. On April 7, Blanche shuttered the DOJ’s crypto enforcement team, saying in a memo that “The Department of Justice is not a digital assets regulator.” The senators claim that the decision gave a “free pass to cryptocurrency money launderers” and claimed that crypto mixing services — used to obfuscate blockchain transactions — are “go-to tools for cybercriminals.” “It makes no sense for DOJ to announce a hands-off approach to tools that are being used to support such terrible crimes,” the letter said. An excerpt of Democrat’s letter to the DOJ. Source: US Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs The senators also questioned why the Justice Department had decided not to prosecute a “host of crimes involving digital assets, including violations of the Bank Secrecy Act.” They claimed that this creates a “systemic vulnerability in the digital assets sector,” which “drug traffickers, terrorists, fraudsters, and adversaries” will exploit on a large scale. The lawmakers requested a staff-level briefing no later than May 1, providing “detailed information on the rationale behind these decisions.” Targeting Trump family crypto endeavors The letter also took a swipe at the Trump family’s crypto projects , suggesting potential conflicts of interest. Related: SafeMoon boss cites DOJ’s nixed crypto unit in latest bid to toss suit A press release accompanying the letter stated that the senators are raising concerns about the “potential connections” between the DOJ’s actions and the crypto ventures of President Donald Trump and his family. The Trumps have an interest in and have backed the crypto platform World Liberty Financial along with its token. The platform is also planning to launch a stablecoin while President Trump’s sons, Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., are working to launch a crypto-mining company called American Bitcoin. “Your decisions give rise to concerns that President Trump’s interest in selling his cryptocurrency may be the reason for easing law enforcement scrutiny,” the Democrats stated. In a memo announcing the crypto enforcement team’s disbandment, Blanche accused the Biden administration of using the Justice Department to “pursue a reckless strategy of regulation by prosecution.” Magazine: Illegal arcade disguised as … a fake Bitcoin mine?

Altcoin Unlocks Near Completion: Market Still Sleeping on Fully Circulating Supply

While the overall crypto market is dealing with ups and downs dictated by macroeconomic events and is undergoing a sector-wide re-pricing, one key storyline hasn’t really been told: Many of the altcoins that make up this market are getting set to unlock the vast majority of the tokens they hold by the end of 2025. Surprising as it may seem, this pivotal narrative isn’t quite grabbing the attention it probably should. Historically, token unlocks have been linked to price risks, with the locked supply gradually coming into the market. In contrast, the almost total unlocking of certain tokens eliminates this persistent overhang. This change has big implications. We’re in a space where Fully Diluted Valuations (FDVs) often cast shadows over market caps and make it hard to see genuine supply-demand dynamics. With only a few months left until full circulation for many major altcoins, traders and investors might be forgetting about an important inflection point: these projects will soon clear away supply-side uncertainty, probably making the pricing in these markets much cleaner and organic demand much more apparent. The Final Stretch: What’s Unlocking and When Upon looking closely, one can see that there are several altcoins whose total token supply is already more than 95% in circulation. Moreover, the remaining portion is set to unlock well before 2025. Here’s some more information about them and some of the main players in this area. Biconomy ($BICO) – Left to Unlock: 4% – Last Unlock Date: September 2025 – Fully Diluted Valuation: $89.1 million – Upcoming Allocation: Community Biconomy is a protocol that is simplifying Web3 interactions. It is in the last phase of its token distribution journey, with only 4% of its total supply left to unlock. This supply is earmarked for the community. Consequently, any sell pressure resulting from the allocations that are yet to unlock is minimal, and community-targeted allocations tend to be slower and more cautious in hitting the market compared to investor-and team-targeted allocations. This stroke of allocation luck makes the event relatively low-risk. Dodo (DODO) – Percent Remaining to Unlock: 5% – Total Unlock Date: July 2025 – Fully Diluted Valuation (FDV): $48.3 million – Allocated to: Community A decentralized exchange using Proactive Market Making (PMM), Dodo occupies a similar place. There, too, only 5% of the supply remains to be unlocked and the fully diluted valuation (FDV) is just 83.7 million—not much and certainly not large in comparison to some figures that are tossed around at the present time. Most of the dilution is already done there as well, and when 5% does unlock on Dodo, the community-targeted allocation will again help to soften the impact. Gelato ($GEL) -Left to Unlock: 3% – Last Unlock Date: September 2025 – FDV: $19.1 million – Planned Future Allocation: Team & Foundation Gelato, a Web3 automation layer, has just 3% of its tokens left to unlock. Unlike BICO and DODO, the tokens going to the team and foundation might introduce more risk. Still, the relatively small FDV limits the downside, especially if the unlock is gradual and transparent. Cartesi ($CTSI) – Left to Unlock: 3% – Last Unlock Date: Dec. ’25 – FDV: *$49.5 mil – Awaiting Allocation: Reserves Cartesi makes it possible to scale smart contracts based on Linux and also sits near the completion of its token unlock cycle. The final 3% is set to go into reserves — an allocation that often stays off the market for long periods — which suggests low immediate risk. VVS Finance ($VVS) – Unlocking Remains: 3% – Concluding Unlock Date: November 2025 – FDV:* At $209 million – Moneys Awaiting Allocation: Team VVS Finance is one of the higher-FDV projects on this list. Its team allocation is worth monitoring. Team unlocks can create sell pressure. But much of the supply is already in circulation, which helps balance concerns. These tokens will be fully unlocked by 2025 — and the market isn’t pricing it in. While many altcoins still carry unlock overhangs, these tokens are nearing 100% circulating supply, removing a key source of supply-side risk. Check: – Remaining % to unlock – Final unlock date -… pic.twitter.com/00pDXH6o7e — Tokenomist (prev. TokenUnlocks) (@Tokenomist_ai) April 9, 2025 Coin98 ($C98) – Unlocking Remaining: 5% – Unlock Date Final: June 2025 – Valuation in USD at Full Unlock: 49.7 million department: Pending Allocation: Community, Treasury, Team. The unlock saga of Coin98 is more intricate, with the leftover tokens divided among the community, treasury, and teams. Depending on how these groups manage their tokens, there could be varied levels of impact. But with just 5 percent of the tokens left to unlock, the worst is clearly over. 1inch (1INCH) – Unlocking Remaining: 8% – Final Unlocking Date: December 2025 – Fully Diluted Valuation: $242 million – Allocation Pending: Team & Investors 1inch is the farthest from full circulation on this list, with 8% of the supply still locked and destined for insiders. This could create more volatility, especially considering its larger FDV and investor allocation. Still, the unlock horizon isn’t long, and the worst might already be priced in. Unlocking Opportunity in a Mispriced Market Despite the market being caught up in macro narratives and the meme coin frenzy, the upcoming full unlocks in a few select digital assets present something of an opportunity for those investors plugged into the real story. Unlike the typical offer that comes with an initial coin offering (ICO), where tokens are doled out in stages with no expectation that they will be for sale until the offer is exhausted, the day after defined unlock periods end, in this case, defined by the time on the digital clock in the upper right corner of an asset’s UI in its blockchain environment. In a crypto world where attention and liquidity are everything, projects that have fully circulating supplies and low FDVs may reemerge as the ones allocators like to talk about. The problem is the allocators never seem to talk about them until the market is aware they have been unlocked. This prompts a question: Is the market aware of what it has anyway? As of now, the clock appears to be ticking, and the opportunity to front-run the entire supply realization may be coming to an end. Disclosure: This is not trading or investment advice.

Rare CryptoPunk NFT sells for $6M with seller absorbing a $10M loss amid NFT price slump

A rare CryptoPunk NFT just sold for $6 million at a staggering $10 million loss amid the continued slide in NFT prices. CryptoPunk #3100, one of just nine Alien Punks in the original 10,000-piece collection, was sold for 4,000 Ethereum ( ETH ), worth about $6.07 million at the time of sale, according to an Apr. 10 transaction flagged by Arkham on X. The art brokerage firm Fountain reportedly brokered the sale, which was finalized through a private offer on the CryptoPunks marketplace. NFT TRADER DOWN $10M ON CRYPTOPUNK This NFT Trader bought an Alien Cryptopunk 1 year ago for 4.5K ETH ($16M). He just sold it for 4K ETH ($6M). He just locked in a $10M loss.

But with Ethereum’s price down roughly 56% over the past year, the seller’s 500 ETH loss turned into a net $10 million hit in dollar terms. You might also like: NFT sales recover 4.5% to $102.8m, CryptoPunks sales surge 140% CryptoPunk #3100 is now listed three times in the all-time top sales leaderboard for CryptoPunks, having previously sold for $7.58 million and $16.03 million. Despite CryptoPunks remaining the top-tier profile picture NFT collection, its financial performance has taken a hit. The collection’s floor price has dropped 67% from its all-time high of 125 ETH set in 2021, now averaging 42.5 ETH, as per CoinGecko data . At that time, ETH was trading at around $3,500, placing the floor price above $400,000 compared to just $65,900 at press time. As NFTs’ popularity and asset prices continue to fall , the industry has been facing significant pressure. In Q1 2025, NFT trading volume fell to $1.5 billion, a 24% decrease from Q4 2024, according to DappRadar’s Q1 report . Despite only a slight drop in trading activity, the steep drop in volume indicates fewer high-value transactions rather than a decline in users. CryptoPunks still commands a sizable share of the market, making up 23% of the $2.7 billion global NFT market capitalization. Read more: U.S. SEC ends probe into Bored Apes NFTs creator Yuga Labs

Diehard XRP Fan Is Frustrated About XRP For the First Time After This Big News

Edward Farina, CEO of Alpha Lions Academy, recently voiced his dissatisfaction with the current state of the cryptocurrency markets, particularly concerning XRP. In a post shared on X, Farina stated that he was frustrated by the apparent lack of price movement following major developments related to Ripple. He referenced Ripple’s $1.25 billion acquisition and expressed that, under fair market conditions, the price of XRP should have “skyrocketed.” He noted that various external narratives appear to be holding the price back. Not going to lie, today I was frustrated with the markets. In a fair market, XRP's price should’ve skyrocketed after today’s news about Ripple’s $1.25B acquisition. But, as always, there’s a narrative to suppress the price. whether it’s the lawsuit, the SEC’s war on crypto,… pic.twitter.com/aMfFQ7rkzK — EDO FARINA 🅧 XRP (@edward_farina) April 8, 2025 These include the ongoing lawsuit involving Ripple, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission’s broader regulatory stance on the crypto industry, President Trump’s trade tariffs, and the recent Bitcoin crash. Farina insisted that if not for these factors, XRP would already be trading well above $100 without question. He closed his message by encouraging holders to remain patient and committed, asserting that “our time is coming.” Details of Ripple’s Acquisition According to a recent Times Tabloid article, Ripple has completed a record-breaking $1.25 billion acquisition of Hidden Road, a global prime brokerage firm. The deal marks a significant expansion for Ripple, positioning it as the first crypto firm to own and operate a multi-asset global prime broker. Hidden Road’s existing infrastructure offers services in foreign exchange, digital assets, and other derivatives markets, and the acquisition is expected to enhance Ripple’s offerings in these areas. We are on twitter, follow us to connect with us :- @TimesTabloid1 — TimesTabloid (@TimesTabloid1) July 15, 2023 The report notes that this strategic move aligns with Ripple’s broader goal of bridging traditional and blockchain-based financial systems. It also underscores Ripple’s commitment to expanding its presence in key financial jurisdictions, with Hidden Road already having regulatory footprints in North America, Europe, and Asia. With this acquisition, Ripple aims to streamline institutional access to digital assets through a regulated and comprehensive brokerage framework. Community Reactions and Broader Sentiment Farina’s comments echoed the sentiments of other XRP community members who were also surprised by the market’s muted reaction to the acquisition. One user, Atom XRPL, wrote , “Seriously it’s like XRP’s stuck in the mud sometimes… this acquisition was massive, it should’ve pumped like crazy! but!!! our time will come.” This perspective highlights a broader concern among XRP supporters that the asset’s price performance does not always correlate with Ripple’s business achievements or long-term prospects. Despite the frustration expressed by Farina and others in the XRP community, there remains a persistent belief that XRP’s value will eventually reflect its underlying fundamentals and Ripple’s expanding role in the financial sector.

sUSD Depegs Amid Structural Transition: Synthetix Faces Critical Test

The Synthetix protocol, whose issuance is algorithmic, has an asset—sUSD—that has seen its peg continue to deteriorate. The current assets that are over-collateralized do not seem to be affecting the intended value that sUSD should hold. The asset dipped as low as $0.869 and now hovers at about $0.908. The mechanism that maintains the value seems to be undergoing a transformation that has some asking if the underlying setup can maintain the sort of peg seen in typical stablecoins. sUSD continues to depeg, with its price dropping as low as $0.869 and currently trading at $0.908. Previously, Synthetix founder Kain stated that the sUSD peg restoration mechanism is undergoing a transition. He also revealed that he has sold 90% of his ETH holdings and increased… — Wu Blockchain (@WuBlockchain) April 10, 2025 The dip marks one of the most significant instances of sUSD losing its peg in recent memory and comes at a sensitive moment for Synthetix. The community and team behind the protocol have acknowledged that the stablecoin is in a “transitional period” as it shifts away from the debt-burning model that previously helped keep the peg stable. Attracting attention currently is the Synthetix ecosystem, where instability exists. And major players in Synthetix, including its founder, Kain Warwick, are very much involved and making headlines. Warwick recently revealed to the Synthetix community via a video that he has sold 90% of his ETH to buy Synthetix and double his exposure to the protocol’s native token, SNX. A Transition in Motion: From Debt-Burning to the 420 Pool In recent weeks, the Synthetix community has been open about the developing mechanics under sUSD’s peg. Per a detailed post in the official sUSD Discord, the old model— which required burning debt to maintain the peg— is being retired. In its place, the 420 pool and an upcoming mechanism for liquidity pool management are expected to step in as the primary means of restoring and maintaining sUSD peg stability over the long term. The change has briefly disconnected sUSD from its dollar equivalence. sUSD has De-pegged Synthetic USD ( #sUSD ) is going through a Transition Period, possibly involving hormones. Will the PulseChain Pioneers build a nice Decentralised Stablecoin called #pDAI ? From the Synthetix sUSD Discord: "We're in a transitionary period… pic.twitter.com/FXGTwmrNKw — yourfriendSOMMI (@yourfriendSOMMI) April 10, 2025 “We’re in a transitionary period where maintaining the peg no longer burns debt effectively,” the post states. “The 420 pool will eventually lead to sUSD being designed in a way so that it is more efficient in the long term and much more effective at maintaining the peg with the dollar.” The current main problem is surplus supply. With the previous stabilization mechanisms now defunct and the new system still being rolled out, the market is flooded with sUSD. This excess is creating downward price pressure and making it difficult for sUSD to achieve the necessary demand to maintain its dollar peg. Even though the protocol states that sUSD is still healthily over-collateralized, many in the crypto community now question whether any stablecoin can be trusted if the collateral it is backed by has been deemed by the market as having lost its value. sUSD was down 1.3% to $0.9860 at the time of writing. Short-Term Incentives, Long-Term Vision In reaction to the depegging, Synthetix is implementing initiatives to reinforce confidence and liquidity in the short term. These consist of: upping the ante for Curve liquidity pools — in which sUSD is paired with other stablecoins — and extending the Infinex deposit campaign. The campaign invites users to stake sUSD in exchange for rewards, effectively and temporarily helping to remove the excess supply from the market. The team is also working on something else that could change the demand dynamics for sUSD, and that’s something we call “snaxchain,” which is an initiative of ours that we hope will allow for a lot more utility in the sUSD space. What is snaxchain? It’s not so much a project as it is a rethinking of sUSD and the spaces in which it can be used and work. We have a lot of fun ideas, and some of them are quite wild. Discord message emphasized the criticality of the sUSD peg for the success of the 420 pool—”The sUSD peg is critical to the success of the 420 pool,” the Discord message stated. On the same day, another Discord message made clear the Plan B being acted upon. We will maintain incentives for a stable sUSD price during this transition towards longer-term solutions. Expected in the coming weeks are additional announcements that will outline further measures intended to stabilize sUSD. The market, until then, will remain in this holding pattern, with sUSD trading at a decent, if not too concerning, discount in comparison with the US dollar and SNX volatility reflecting the sort of concern mixed with hope that it has recently reflected. Though the current depeg is noteworthy, it is not the first instance of an algorithmic stablecoin having structural issues. What makes Synthetix distinct is its clear and forthright operation, along with its exhibited flexibility—both of which might help restore not just confidence in sUSD, but also in stablecoins as a whole. Even so, the clock is ticking. Stablecoins depend on stability — and getting back to the peg is now more than just a technical must. It’s a test of whether the trust that users place in stablecoins can be regained. Disclosure: This is not trading or investment advice.

All Eyes on This Cat: Upcoming Crypto Presale Already Draws Serious Attention

Meme coins are no longer just a joke passed around Reddit or your cousin’s Telegram group. They’ve evolved. What started as dog-themed internet banter is now a full-blown financial movement. Whether you love ‘em, hate ‘em, or just missed the boat on the last one, you must admit that these digital misfits have made real people real money. Some even changed their zip codes. Imagine if you could rewind the clock and catch Doge before Elon tweeted about it. Or hop on Shiba Inu when everyone thought it was just another rug waiting to happen. That’s the zone TrollerCat ($TCAT) is in right now. And no, this isn’t just another token with a furry face and no future. Trollercat is flipping the meme coin game on its head—hard.

Exclusive Rewards: Joining the whitelist isn’t just about purchasing tokens—it’s about being part of a community. Whitelist members are privy to exclusive rewards, including staking opportunities and early access to Troller Cat’s upcoming Play-to-Earn (P2E) games.

The Buzz Around Troller Cat’s Presale The excitement surrounding Troller Cat’s presale is palpable. Investors are closely monitoring the project’s developments, eager to secure their spot before the presale opens to the public. The potential for significant returns is a major draw, with some speculating that early investors could see gains reminiscent of those who invested in Dogecoin or Shiba Inu at their inception. The Rumored High Staking Rewards While details are still under wraps, there’s talk of Troller Cat offering impressive staking rewards for early adopters. Staking allows investors to earn passive income by locking up their tokens to support the network’s operations. High staking rewards can significantly enhance the value of your investment, providing a steady income stream while you hold your tokens. If these rumors hold true, early investors stand to benefit substantially. The Play-to-Earn (P2E) Game Center: A Game-Changer Another exciting aspect of Troller Cat is the rumored Play-to-Earn (P2E) Game Center. This feature is expected to gamify the investment experience, allowing token holders to earn rewards through gameplay. The P2E model adds an entertainment factor and introduces a deflationary mechanism to tokenomics. As players engage with the games, tokens may be burned, reducing the overall supply and potentially increasing demand. This innovative approach could set Troller Cat apart from other meme coins, offering utility and fun.

How Will Markets React to $2.2B Bitcoin Options Expiring Today?

Around 28,000 Bitcoin options contracts will expire on Friday, April 4, and they have a notional value of roughly $2.25 billion. This week’s event is pretty similar to previous weeks , where derivatives trading has been somewhat muted, so the impact on spot markets is likely to be minimal. Markets have been extremely volatile this week, dumping to a five-month low before bouncing back on the Trump administration’s global trade tariff flip-flops. Bitcoin Options Expiry This week’s batch of Bitcoin options contracts has a put/call ratio of 0.88, meaning that the short and long contract sellers are pretty closely matched. There is also a max pain point of $82,000, which is where most losses will be made. Moreover, open interest (OI), or the value or number of BTC options contracts yet to expire, is highest at the $70,000 strike price, with just over a billion dollars in open contracts betting that Bitcoin will fall further. However, there is a similar amount of OI at the $100,000 strike price as the bulls are maintaining their positions, according to Deribit. Options Expiry Alert At 08:00 UTC tomorrow, over $2.59B in crypto options are set to expire on Deribit. $BTC : $2.32B notional | Put/Call: 0.97 | Max Pain: $82K $ETH : $270M notional | Put/Call: 0.91 | Max Pain: $1,750 With recent market volatility and ongoing tariff… pic.twitter.com/2OywATV66o — Deribit (@DeribitOfficial) April 10, 2025 Crypto derivatives provider Greeks Live said the group was “cautiously bullish” after US President Donald Trump announced a 90-day pause on tariffs, “though many remain skeptical this rally will be sustained,” it added. “Key levels being watched are $85K as a near-term target and $100K as a longer-term resistance, with traders debating whether this news-driven pump will eventually be faded.” Greeks also commented that several traders noted this was a “clear case of insider knowledge” as heavy buying occurred in the $75,000 to $77,500 range hours before the 90-day tariff pause announcement. In addition to today’s tranche of Bitcoin options, there are around 183,000 Ethereum contracts that are also expiring today, with a notional value of $283 million, a max pain point of $1,750, and a put/call ratio of 0.92. This brings Friday’s combined crypto options expiry notional value to around $2.5 billion. Crypto Market Outlook Crypto market capitalization is back in the red, having lost 3.6% over the past 24 hours and declined to $2.65 trillion. After reclaiming $83,000 on Thursday, Bitcoin sank back below $79,000 in late trading in reaction to lower-than-expected CPI figures before recovering marginally to reach $80,000 during Friday morning trading in Asia. Zooming out, the asset has been steadily downtrending since mid-January, having declined 26% from its all-time high. Ethereum is still in bear market territory , having slumped 4% on the day in a fall to $1,540. However, the rest of the altcoins were mixed with minor daily gains for Cardano (ADA), Avalanche (AVAX), and Hedera (HBAR).
