Crypto Regulation Update
The final week of March is shaping up to be a volatile one, with the FTX Recovery Trust set to distribute $2.2 billion to creditors on Tuesday and the key U.S. monthly nonfarm payrolls statistic due Friday, when many equity markets worldwide will be closed for Good Friday.The war in the Middle East, now in its fifth week, is also critical. The conflict has disrupted major energy infrastructure and transport in the region, in turn leading to higher inflation expectations and a meaningful shift in monetary policy expectations, Luke Deans, a senior research associate at Bitwise, told CoinDesk.“Bitcoin, a highly reflexive and liquidity-sensitive asset, typically responds earlier to shifts in risk appetite and has repriced lower since October 2025,” Deans said. “This suggests that digital assets began reflecting tighter financial conditions ahead of many traditional risk assets.”Global macro forces, he added, remain the primary drivers of risk sentiment. While liquidity will certainly play a role, the market backdrop remains fragile given the ongoing geopolitical uncertainty.What to Watch(All times ET)CryptoMacroMarch 30, 9:30 p.m.: China NBS Manufacturing PMI for March (Prev. 49.0); Non-Manufacturing PMI (Prev. 49.5)March 31, 5:00 a.m.: Eurozone Inflation Rate YoY Flash for March (Prev. 1.9%); Core (Prev. 2.4%)March 31, 9:00 a.m.: U.S. S&P/Case-Shiller Composite-20 Home Price Index YoY for January (Prev. 1.4%)March 31, 9:45 a.m.: U.S. Chicago PMI for March (Prev. 57.7)March 31, 10:00 a.m.: U.S. Conference Board Consumer Confidence for March (Prev. 91.2)March 31, 10:00 a.m.: U.S. JOLTS job openings for February (Prev. 6.946M)March 31, 07:50 p.m.: Japan Tankan Large Manufacturing Index for Q1 (Prev. 15)April 1, 8:15 a.m.: U.S. ADP Employment Change for March (Prev. 63K)April 1, 10:00 a.m.: U.S. ISM Manufacturing PMI for March (Prev. 52.4)April 2, 8:30 a.m.: U.S. Initial Jobless Claims for week ending March 28 (Prev. 210K)April 3, 8:30 a.m.: U.S. Nonfarm Payrolls for March est. 48K (Prev. -92K)April 3, 8:30 a.m.: U.S. Unemployment Rate for March est. 4.5% (Prev. 4.4%)April 3, 10:00 a.m.: U.S. ISM Services PMI for March (Prev. 56.1)Earnings (Estimates based on FactSet data)March 30: Nano Labs (NA), pre-marketToken EventsGovernance Votes & CallsStake DAO CRV and BAL are voting on their bi-weekly gauge to allocate CRV and BAL inflation across various liquidity pools.
