Gate Institutional Weekly Report
(Mar 16–22, 2026)
Global markets went risk-off last week as hawkish Fed expectations and rising geopolitical tensions weighed on sentiment. BTC dipped below $70,000, precious metals corrected, but crude oil remained resilient amid supply concerns.
Key highlights:
🔹 Crypto & macro: Risk assets weakened while energy prices stayed strong
🔹 Liquidity: BTC & ETH ETFs saw outflows, Perp DEX trading dominated by macro flows, CEX TradFi perpetual volumes dropped
🔹 On-chain: Meteora volumes surged sharply, reshaping liquidity concentration
🔹 Derivatives: BTC showed negative funding rates, open interest showed deleveraging, options volatility stayed high
🔹 Institutional edge: Gate institutional contracts boosted spot & futures share by 38% and 33%
Looking ahead, Core PCE, GDP, and jobless claims, together with geopolitical and energy developments, are set to shape the market.
