Gate Research: On March 31, the crypto market continued its recovery driven rebound, with BTC returning to the 68,000 range and ETH showing relative strength, while the overall market remains in a range bound phase and a trend reversal has yet to be confirmed. Market sentiment remains in extreme fear, with capital flowing back into major assets, while altcoins continue to rotate structurally, led by mid cap tokens such as ABT, G, and GOAT. On the industry side, stablecoin payments are accelerating their integration into real world consumption scenarios, banks are advancing pilot programs for onchain FX and cross border settlement, and multi custody and risk management frameworks continue to strengthen. Onchain financial infrastructure is increasingly moving toward real world adoption.

Gate Research: On the 4-hour timeframe, both BTC and ETH showed a similar pattern—rallying early in the week, pulling back thereafter, and retesting lows over the weekend. Among altcoins, MemeCore stood out, gaining about 27.55% over the past seven days, making it the best-performing major token during the period. Over the past week, cross-chain capital flows gravitated toward a few key ecosystems. Driven by volatility in commodities such as crude oil, Hyperliquid and Polygon PoS emerged as the primary destinations for inflows, while Arbitrum and Ethereum accounted for the bulk of outflows. Ondo is driving the evolution of RWAs from yield-oriented, hold-to-maturity assets toward more actively traded instruments. Trading activity in on-chain equities and ETFs has picked up, reshaping the valuation framework for this sector.

Gate Research highlights elevated implied volatility across crypto and traditional asset options, with BTC and ETH IV still near the 80th percentile range, while gold puts remain richly priced. Gate also announced the launch of Gold and Crude Oil Options, expanding its multi-asset options trading offering.

Gate Research Weekly Report: BTC surged to $69,305 over the past 24 hours before giving back gains and entering a weaker consolidation phase, while ETH continued to show stronger structure than BTC, rebounding to as high as $2,168 with upside momentum easing at elevated levels. The altcoin market remained structurally mixed, with about 51.02% of tokens posting gains, led by the DID and NFT trading sectors. Stablecoin market capitalization rose to $316.3 billion, up by $640 million over the past week, while Ethereum gas fees remained at low levels. The Drift Protocol exploit, confirmation of the BITA ticker, and approval for options on multi-crypto asset commodity trusts further increased market focus on security risks, yield-enhanced ETF products, and the institutionalization of crypto derivatives. In the coming seven days, HYPE, ENA, and OPN are set to unlock approximately $12.00 million, $19.16 million, and $5.52 million worth of tokens respectively, which may introduce short-term supply pressure.

In the first quarter of 2026, against the backdrop of overall pressure in the crypto market and increasing project divergence, Gate established a structurally complete spot listing framework through high coverage, a high proportion of first listings, and a meaningful share of exclusive listings, while maintaining relatively stable positive return coverage across multiple post listing time windows. From a data perspective, median returns at 24 hours and 3 days remained consistently positive, with first listings providing stronger return elasticity, non-first listings demonstrating higher success rates of price increases, and exclusive listings reflecting stronger selection capability and mid-term performance. Overall, in a weak market environment, Gate demonstrates a systematic capability to consistently source high quality projects, conduct effective selection, and deliver tangible market outcomes.
