On April 1, The Block reported that Bitcoin fell by 23.8% in the first quarter of 2026, marking its worst Q1 performance since 2018. In comparison, Bitcoin experienced a 50% decline in Q1 2018. Coupled with a 23% drop in Q4 2025, Bitcoin has accumulated a decline of approximately 41.6% over the past six months. Analysts attribute this decline to multiple factors. Andri Fauzan Adziima, head of research at Bitrue, stated that the downturn in Q1 was primarily driven by outflows from Bitcoin spot ETFs, alongside persistently high inflation, a cautious stance from the Federal Reserve, and an overall risk-averse sentiment in the market. In Q1, Bitcoin spot ETFs saw a net outflow of $496.5 million, with $1.8 billion leaving in the first two months, while March saw an inflow of $1.32 billion, partially offsetting the previous outflows. Nevertheless, analysts believe that the long-term conviction in Bitcoin remains intact. Min Jung, a researcher at Presto Research, commented, "There is almost no evidence suggesting a structural shift in long-term confidence in Bitcoin; institutional participation and adoption trends remain strong, indicating that this decline is more cyclical than fundamental." She noted that a reversal in trends for Q2 would depend on greater certainty in the macro environment, particularly regarding the situation in the Middle East. Nick Ruck, research director at LVRG, stated, "To reverse the trend in Q2, we need ETF funds to see net inflows again, clear progress on crypto-friendly regulations in the U.S., and a shift towards looser monetary conditions."

On April 1, following Trump's announcement that the U.S. would withdraw from Iran within two to three weeks regardless of whether an agreement is reached, international oil prices fell sharply. WTI crude oil dropped below $98 per barrel, with a daily decline of 3.78%; Brent crude oil fell by 3.3%. Thomas Mathews from Capital Economics stated, "The hope for de-escalation has boosted the market, but we believe that even if the war ends quickly, its effects will persist in many cases. After all, both sides have previously sent positive signals at other stages of the conflict, but many of those ultimately proved to be illusory." (Jin Shi)

According to data from DeFiLlama, as of March 31, HTX ranked first globally in 24-hour net inflows among centralized exchanges (CEXs). The platform recorded a net inflow of $54.14 million, demonstrating a robust and steady trend in capital growth.

On April 1, according to Yahoo Finance, Bitcoin closed at $66,619 on Tuesday, down from an opening price of $87,508 on January 1, 2026. This quarterly decline is the largest since the first quarter of 2018, when Bitcoin fell from $14,112 to $6,973, a drop of 50%. The 24% decline this quarter continues the significant downturn from the fourth quarter of 2025, when its price slid 23% from $114,057 to $87,508. This means that in the past six months, the world's largest cryptocurrency has lost approximately 41.6% of its market value. The entire cryptocurrency market has further retreated from its historical high in October 2025 amid escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, dampening investor sentiment in both crypto and traditional stock markets. In addition to macroeconomic uncertainties, analysts have pointed out that the reversal of fund flows into U.S. Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) has negatively impacted Bitcoin prices. According to SoSoValue data, there was a net outflow of $496.5 million from spot Bitcoin ETFs in the first quarter, with $1.8 billion flowing out in the first two months, partially offset by an inflow of $1.32 billion in March.

According to monitoring by 1M AI News, Boris Cherny, the father of Claude Code, responded on X to the source code leak incident, confirming that the cause was human error in the deployment process: "Our deployment process has several manual steps, and one of them was not done correctly." He stated that the team has made improvements and is adding more checks. The context of this response is quite significant. Last December, Cherny posted that "in the past 30 days, I have contributed 100% to Claude Code, all done by Claude Code." After the leak occurred, some users referenced this post to suggest that AI autonomously writing code was the root cause of the incident. Cherny's response directly refuted this association: the issue was precisely in the human manual operations. His reflection on this incident is: "Like other incidents, the counterintuitive solution is to find ways to accelerate, rather than adding more processes. This time it is more automation and letting Claude check the results." A human error ultimately points to the solution of increased AI involvement.
