On March 30th, market declines triggered by the conflict in Iran are escalating into a full-blown crash on Wall Street. Efforts by various parties to mediate a ceasefire and restore Middle East oil supplies have ultimately led to further escalation of the situation, intensifying market panic. The Nasdaq 100 index plunged 1.9% on Friday alone, entering correction territory. The S&P 500 closed down for the fifth consecutive week, marking its longest losing streak since 2022. Bond prices have fallen, pushing the yield on benchmark 30-year U.S. Treasury bonds close to 5%. Bitcoin prices have also halved from their pre-conflict peak.

On March 30th, the latest version of the crypto bill, the 'CLARITY Act,' garnered significant attention primarily due to its regulatory provisions targeting stablecoins. A report released by 10x Research suggests that in terms of practical implementation, the bill could have the most severe impact on DeFi and its associated tokens.

The core content of the bill's proposal is to prohibit offering wealth management yields, rewards, and all similar forms of returns on stablecoin balances. This effectively ends the attribute of stablecoins as on-chain savings products, redefining them as purely payment and circulation tools.

Markus Thielen, founder of 10x Research, pointed out, "This means that yield-bearing rights will clearly move back towards centralization." The reason is that the bill will consolidate yield-generating businesses within banks, money market funds, and various compliant licensed institutions, significantly compressing the competitive space for native crypto platforms in terms of yield returns.

Although early views suggested that DeFi might benefit from this, this shift in industry landscape will also impact DeFi.

Thielen explained that the previous market logic was: if centralized platforms no longer offer wealth management yields, user funds would shift to the on-chain DeFi ecosystem.

However, this inference was based on the premise that DeFi would not be subject to the same regulatory constraints. The reality is that the regulatory framework of the 'CLARITY Act' is likely to extend to cover front-end interfaces and various token models; especially when projects generate fee income and governance rights approach the attributes of traditional equity, regulators will intervene comprehensively.

On March 29th, "describing the recent shift in market expectations for central bank monetary policy as a '180-degree turn' seems insufficient." Just a few weeks ago, the market was anticipating multiple interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve in 2026. Now, it has clearly begun to price in the possibility of a rate hike this year. 

Latest data from the CME FedWatch Tool shows that the probability of the federal funds rate being higher than the current range of 3.50%-3.75% by the end of this year is approaching 30%, while the probability of a rate decrease has fallen to 2.9%.

This shift in expectations is primarily driven by inflation concerns stemming from the energy market. Since the escalation of tensions in the Middle East in late February, Brent crude oil prices have risen from around $70 per barrel to approximately $111 per barrel currently. Concurrently, long-term U.S. Treasury yields have also surged significantly, with the 10-year Treasury yield climbing from below 4% a few weeks ago to around 4.40%.

The newsletter "Crypto is Macro Now" pointed out: "Food and energy prices will unfortunately continue to rise and remain at high levels for some time, at least until the issues with Middle East shipping disruptions are resolved. Even if a peace agreement were reached tomorrow (which is unlikely), it would still take months to see any relief."

Five Russian nationals laundered "millions of dollars" worth of cryptocurrency as part of a scheme to smuggle military technology and oil, according to an announcement issued by the US Department of Justice. yury Orekhov, ArtemUss, Svetlana Kuzurgasheva (Lana Neumann), Timofey Telegin and Sergey Tulyakov are accused of trying to evade sanctions against Venezuelan oil producers and obtain technology for use in the US F-22 air superiority fighter jet. The defendants allegedly used shell companies and cryptocurrencies to launder funds involved in the scheme. The US Department of Justice announced the formation of KleptoCapture in March, saying the team would focus on imposing economic sanctions on oligarchs in response to Russian intrusion. The entity said crypto-tracking would be a focus of the organisation.
