Binance Responds to ACT Flash Crash Incident: Caused by Large Holder Concentrated Sell-off, No Manipulation Found

Binance's official account @BinanceHelpDesk responded to users on the X platform, stating that the incident was mainly due to three VIP users concentrating on selling tokens worth approximately $514,000 in the spot market, along with a non-VIP user transferring in and quickly selling $540,000 worth of ACT tokens from an external platform. The related sell-off triggered forced liquidations of some futures contracts and caused a chain reaction in the market.
Binance stated that after investigation, no single account was found to have made significant profits from this incident. Since the related tokens have all circulated in the secondary market, the platform cannot intervene in normal market trading behavior. To mitigate risks, Binance has recently proactively reduced the leverage ratio of ACT/USDT perpetual contracts and emphasized that it will continue to enhance market liquidity through its market maker program.
Previously, ACT experienced a flash crash of 50% in a short time, sparking community discussions.

June 6: "DeFi and the American Spirit".
The head of the special group, Commissioner Hester M. Peirce, stated: "These roundtable meetings allow us to hear expert opinions, clarify regulatory challenges, and explore the SEC's response strategies." All roundtable meetings will be live-streamed to the public.

U.S. Government Expected to Disclose Its Holdings of Bitcoin and Other Crypto Assets on April 5

The U.S. Treasury and other federal agencies are expected to disclose their holdings of Bitcoin and other crypto assets on April 5, following a recent directive from President Trump. It will soon be clarified whether the digital assets mentioned by Trump, such as XRP, SOL, and ADA, will be included in the national digital asset reserves. David Bailey, CEO of BTC Inc, stated that the audit results may reveal the reasons behind Bitcoin's recent price movements.
According to a presidential document released on March 11, all federal agencies must report their holdings of Bitcoin and other digital assets to the Treasury Secretary within 30 days of the issuance of the order. The Treasury Secretary has also been instructed to establish two offices to manage the government's digital asset holdings. Strategic Bitcoin reserves will consist of Bitcoin obtained through criminal or civil forfeiture and will not be sold.

Trump Administration Plans to Adjust Tariff Scheme, May Introduce Compromise Option to Address Internal Resistance

The Trump team is finalizing the tariff plan ahead of the April 2 trade policy announcement, currently considering introducing a third "compromise option": imposing a uniform tariff rate on certain countries, expected to be lower than the previously discussed 20% general tariff.

Previously, Trump had considered imposing a 20% uniform tariff on nearly all imported goods or implementing a reciprocal tariff mechanism based on country differences. However, this extreme proposal faced opposition from industry and labor groups, and some Republican senators indicated they might support a Democratic proposal challenging the president's emergency tariff authority.

Grayscale Applies for S-3 Registration for Its Digital Large Cap Fund, Plans to Launch ETF

According to the SEC's official website, Grayscale submitted the S-3 form on April 1, planning to register its Grayscale Digital Large Cap Fund as an exchange-traded fund (ETF).

Bitcoin Policy Institute Proposes Issuing "BitBonds" to Support Trump's Strategic Bitcoin Reserve

The Bitcoin Policy Institute proposed issuing a new type of government bond called "BitBonds" to support the Trump administration's strategic Bitcoin reserve plan. This bond will offer a 1% annual interest rate (lower than the ordinary government bond rate of 4.5%) and allocate 10% of the funds raised to purchase Bitcoin.
According to the plan, if $20 trillion worth of BitBonds are issued, it could save $700 billion in interest over ten years. Currently, the U.S. government holds approximately 200,000 Bitcoins (worth $17 billion), and after deducting the portion to be returned, the initial scale of the strategic reserve is about 103,500 Bitcoins.
This proposal aims to achieve budget-neutral accumulation of Bitcoin while reducing the cost of government bonds. The Treasury Secretary will assess the feasibility of this proposal within 60 days.

Analysis: ACT Flash Crash Caused by Binance Adjusting ACT's Leverage Position Limits, Excessive Positions of Market Makers Liquidated at Market Price

Coinkarma founder Benson Sun analyzed on the X platform, stating, "Today at 18:30, ACT suddenly flash crashed by 50%. The cause was Binance adjusting the leverage position limits for ACT, where a maximum of $4.5 million could be opened with 1x leverage. Some market makers had positions exceeding this limit, which were directly liquidated at market price. After the contract price collapsed, there was a huge price difference with the spot market, causing the spot market to crash as well.
Binance announced the changes at 15:32 on April 1, with the changes taking effect at 18:30 on the same day, giving users less than 3 hours to react. Even more absurdly, Binance had already announced a modification to ACT's position limits on March 31, and on April 1, they cut the position limits for low leverage by another 50%.
Before modifying the rules, Binance should have assessed how many positions would be liquidated. If there were significant positions from market makers, they should have been notified in advance. As an industry leader, I hope Binance can handle this incident properly."

Arthur Hayes: Even if U.S. Stocks Decline, Bitcoin Still Expected to Reach $250,000 by Year-End

BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes reiterated his long-term bullish stance on Bitcoin in his latest blog. He stated that the core pricing of Bitcoin is based on "technology + fiat liquidity," and there are no significant changes on the technological front currently, with the market mainly trading around future fiat supply expectations.
Hayes believes that if the Federal Reserve truly shifts from quantitative tightening (QT) to quantitative easing (QE), then Bitcoin has already bottomed out near $76,500. He mentioned that although the U.S. stock market may decline due to tariffs, lowered corporate earnings expectations, or weak overseas demand, Bitcoin is still expected to continue rising, challenging $250,000 by year-end.

Grayscale Executive: Tariff Impact May Have Been Priced In, Crypto Market May Return to Fundamentals

Grayscale's research director Zach Pandl stated that the negative impact of tariffs on cryptocurrencies may have already been "priced in" by the market, and the worst phase may be over. He believes that if the tariff policy announced by Trump on April 2 is tough but implemented in phases and focused on 15 target countries, the market may see a rebound, and the crypto market may also refocus on positive fundamentals. Additionally, Pandl pointed out that tariffs will enhance market interest in non-dollar assets, benefiting alternative currency assets, including Bitcoin.
