On March 25, according to CNN, Iran informed the United States that it does not wish to hold peace negotiations with US envoys Witkoff and Kushner, but would rather negotiate with JD Vance. Witkoff and Kushner, serving as diplomatic representatives with real estate development backgrounds from the Trump administration, had previously pushed for the Abraham Accords to isolate Iran. Vance, on the other hand, has gained credibility in Iran's eyes due to his Iraq military service experience and anti-war stance.

March 25th news: Stijn Vander Straeten, CEO of Crypto Finance, a subsidiary of Deutsche Börse, stated that traditional banks are at least 5 years behind crypto-native platforms in DeFi innovation. He noted that large institutions typically wait for regulatory frameworks to become clear before entering relevant markets, suggesting that full adoption of DeFi by banks may still take 5 to 10 years. Vander Straeten pointed out that crypto platforms already offer features like weekend trading and instant settlement, while the traditional financial system remains constrained by legacy infrastructure such as T+2 settlement.

On March 25th, in his 2026 annual letter to shareholders, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink, who has become one of Wall Street's most prominent supporters of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, predicted that cryptocurrencies and other high-growth markets for BlackRock could become a $500 million revenue source "within the next five years." A report from November indicated that BlackRock manages nearly 800,000 Bitcoins, valued at $55 billion, on behalf of clients through its market-leading spot Bitcoin ETF. Currently, it generates approximately $250 million in annual fee income from its iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF. Furthermore, BlackRock's USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL) has become the world's largest tokenized fund, with assets under management exceeding $2 billion last year. Fink stated, "BlackRock has established an early leadership position in bringing institutional-grade products to digital markets at scale, with nearly $150 billion in assets under management related to digital assets."

On March 25th, Bitcoin News reported that 500 BTC, linked to Irish drug trafficker Clifton Collins, has been moved on-chain after being presumed lost for nearly 10 years. Collins purchased 6,000 BTC between 2011 and 2012 with proceeds from marijuana sales, storing them across 12 wallets. He wrote down the private keys on paper and hid them in a fishing rod case at a rented property in Galway, Ireland. After Collins was arrested in 2017, the property was cleared out, and his belongings were sent to a landfill. Both authorities and Collins believed the private keys were permanently lost, and the court ruled to confiscate the funds as proceeds of crime. The on-chain transfer of 500 BTC indicates that at least a portion of these assets may not have been lost.

On March 25th, the market is being dominated by a mismatch between 'policy-driven suppression of energy prices' and 'unresolved Middle East risks'. The US has relaxed gasoline regulations, and the EU has postponed the ban on Russian oil to curb inflation and oil prices. However, negotiations between the US and Iran have not yet concluded, and military deployments continue, preventing the full release of risk premiums. Consequently, funds are flowing into safe-haven assets like gold, and overall liquidity remains in a contracted and defensive state. Against this backdrop, BTC has not formed a clear trend but is exhibiting a typical liquidity-driven range-bound structure. The area between 71.6k and 73k represents a dense zone of sell orders and chasing liquidity, while the 67k–68k range acts as a liquidation and absorption zone for buy orders. The intermediate zone of 70k–71k, characterized by sparse liquidity, leads to rapid price traversals. In the short term, if the price stabilizes above 71.6k, it will trigger a liquidity sweep towards 73k. Conversely, if it breaks below 68k and the absorption fails, it will lead to a downward liquidation extension. Until a unilateral outcome emerges from energy prices and Middle East negotiations, the market will continue to repeatedly trigger liquidity on both ends, with BTC essentially acting as a risk-taker rather than an asset with an active trend. In summary, the crypto market lacks conditions for trend continuation in the short term and is closer to a liquidity-driven consolidation phase until either energy risks or liquidity direction experiences a unilateral breakthrough, at which point the market will choose its true pricing path.

On March 25, Jump Trading responded on Monday to a lawsuit filed by Todd Snyder, the head of Terraform Labs' bankruptcy trust. Snyder sued Jump Trading, several of its subsidiaries, and two executives in December of last year, accusing them of market manipulation, defrauding investors, and self-trading, seeking $4 billion in damages.

In its response, Jump Trading called the lawsuit a "transparent attempt" by Snyder to evade the $4.4 billion fine imposed on Terraform Labs by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in 2024, stating that Snyder had "fabricated a series of allegations designed to shift Terraform's liability to the SEC and its creditors onto the defendants." Jump Trading also pointed out that the lawsuit lacks crucial details, fails to specify the actions of each defendant, does not indicate where the alleged violations occurred, and is time-barred and should be dismissed.

According to previous court records, when UST de-pegged from the dollar in 2021, Jump Trading assisted Terraform Labs in maintaining UST's peg by purchasing large amounts of UST to support its price, though executives from both parties kept this confidential. Terraform Labs founder Do Kwon has previously been sentenced to 15 years in prison for two counts of fraud.
