Bitcoin ‘Risk Index’ Hits Zero, Has Selling Pressure Finally Exhausted?

The Bitcoin Risk Index just hit zero, “a full low-risk regime,” reported Swissblock on Tuesday. The metric is a proprietary indicator that gauges the overall risk level in the Bitcoin market. It essentially measures the relative balance between selling and buying pressure, and how “risky” it is to hold or buy $BTC.

Is derivatives activity driving the rally?



Perpetual futures activity emerged as the dominant force behind Worldcoin’s latest move.

Data showed $78.5 million flowed into perpetual contracts in a single day. This accounted for over 30% of total Open Interest [OI], which stood at $253.4 million.

Such concentration pointed to aggressive positioning from traders seeking directional exposure.


The Open Interest-weighted Funding Rates reinforced this bias. At 0.0153%, among the highest this year, it showed long traders paid a premium to hold positions.

This reflected strong bullish sentiment dominating derivatives markets.

Ripple, Kyobo Life Insurance partner to enable tokenized government bond settlement in South Korea
Ripple has partnered with Kyobo Life Insurance to enable tokenized government bond transactions.

The partnership is expected to shorten settlement cycles from the typical two-day window to near real-time.

Ripple has partnered with South Korean Kyobo Life Insurance to enable tokenized government bond transactions through Ripple Custody.

In a statement released on Wednesday, Ripple said that the pair plans to utilize its custody platform for holding, transferring, and settling tokenized assets, aiming to replace manual bond settlement processes.

Ripple noted that its technology can shorten settlement cycles from the typical two-day window to near real-time execution, which could reduce counterparty risk and improve capital efficiency. 

The company also plans to explore stablecoin-based payment rails with Kyobo, which would allow round-the-clock transactions, according to the statement.

"This partnership is a signal to the broader market that institutional-grade digital asset infrastructure is no longer a future aspiration; it is available, proven, and ready to deploy in Korea today," said Fiona Murray, managing director for Asia Pacific at Ripple.

Stablecoin liquidity stays idle at $319B as Ethereum activity slows – Why?
A divergence emerged on Ethereum [ETH], where stablecoin liquidity remained present, yet network activity declined during Bitcoin’s [BTC] consolidation phase.

At press time, Tether [$USDT] Active Addresses fell to 202,300, while USD Coin [$USDC] dropped to 109,300, marking the lowest levels since mid-December. Meanwhile, this decline reflected reduced transactional demand on Ethereum, as users held stablecoins without deploying them.

This behavior signals caution, where capital stays idle despite being available, aligning with a prolonged range-bound structure below $75,000. However, as Bitcoin gradually approaches this level, conditions begin to shift.

If momentum strengthens, Ethereum activity may recover, allowing sidelined liquidity to re-enter, increasing volatility; otherwise, continued inactivity may extend consolidation across the market.

Ethereum usage grows despite activity slowdown

However, a deeper structural layer began to emerge on Ethereum, where long-term usage trends contrasted sharply with recent activity declines.

While current engagement weakened, quarterly stablecoin transfer volume continued to rise, now breaching the $8.5 trillion mark, reflecting sustained settlement demand.

Earlier cycles showed volume near negligible levels through 2018–2019; however, activity accelerated rapidly from 2020, crossing $2 trillion by 2021. As adoption expanded, periodic slowdowns appeared, yet the broader trajectory remained upward, signaling structural growth beyond short-term participation drops.

More recently, volume surged from roughly $3 trillion to above $8 trillion, indicating increasing reliance on Ethereum for large-scale transfers. This divergence suggests that while retail activity slows, underlying network utility remains strong, leaving room for reactivation as market conditions improve.

WLD draws speculative interest as derivatives drive momentum, but risks persist.



Worldcoin [WLD] returned to the spotlight after posting notable intraday gains, climbing roughly 12% in 24 hours. The move followed a prolonged period of muted performance, with the asset still down 33.5% year-to-date.

However, the rally lacked a clear fundamental catalyst.

Instead, momentum appeared tied to speculative positioning in derivatives markets, raising concerns about durability. That shift placed focus on whether the move reflected real demand or leveraged positioning.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has downgraded its global growth outlook, citing a surge in energy prices driven by ongoing conflict in the Middle East. The update comes as finance officials gather in Washington for the IMF and World Bank spring meetings, where markets and policymakers are reassessing global risks.
The IMF outlined three possible scenarios depending on how the conflict evolves. In its baseline case, the fund assumes a relatively short-lived disruption, with oil prices stabilizing around $82 per barrel by mid-2026, allowing global growth to remain broadly steady.
However, IMF Chief Economist Pierre-Olivier Gourinchas warned that this outlook may already be outdated, suggesting the world economy is edging closer to a more “adverse scenario.” In this case, prolonged conflict keeps oil prices near $100 per barrel, dragging global growth down to around 2.5% in 2026 — near recessionary levels.
The most severe scenario paints a starker picture. If tensions escalate further, oil prices could rise to $110 in 2026 and $125 in 2027, pushing global growth down to just 2.0% and lifting inflation above 6%. Such conditions could force central banks to re-tighten monetary policy after a period of easing.
Emerging markets and developing economies would bear the brunt of the shock, with several Middle Eastern countries facing sharp economic contractions. Iran, Qatar, and Iraq are projected to be among the hardest hit. In contrast, India stands out as a relative outperformer, with growth forecasts raised to 6.5% for 2026 and 2027.
The United States sees only a modest downgrade, supported by AI investment, tax cuts, and easing financial conditions, while Europe and Japan continue to face more persistent growth headwinds.
The IMF also urged governments to avoid broad fuel subsidies, recommending targeted and temporary measures instead to protect vulnerable populations without undermining fiscal stability.
