Cryptoquant analyst Darkfost pointed out that data shows the spot trading volume of altcoins on major exchanges has significantly declined compared to more active periods. Currently, Binance's altcoin trading volume is about $7.7 billion, while other major exchanges combined account for about $18.8 billion, far below the levels of $40 to $50 billion for Binance and $63 to $91 billion for other exchanges during the peaks in October 2025 and February. In relative terms, Binance currently accounts for about 40% of the total global altcoin trading volume.Analysis indicates that the aforementioned peak trading volumes coincide with the formation of a phase top in the crypto market, during which FOMO sentiment drove retail investors to flood in, while early investors took profits by leveraging the peak in demand. In the current environment, ongoing geopolitical tensions have suppressed market risk appetite, and altcoins continue to lag behind Bitcoin in performance. The analysis also suggests that historical patterns show that periods of low market interest, when most investors are on the sidelines, often represent the most attractive window for positioning.

According to Cointelegraph, although the price of Bitcoin has fallen below $71,000, data shows that its bullish momentum has not faded.Bitcoin fell 7% after reaching $76,000 on Tuesday, due to rising oil prices from Israel's attack on Iranian gas facilities and the U.S. PPI exceeding expectations, causing U.S. stocks to decline simultaneously. Analysts point out that the continued buying of U.S.-listed ETFs and strategies provides spot demand support for Bitcoin. The leverage level for Bitcoin bulls is low, and even if the price drops another 5%, the risk of a cascading liquidation is minimal.Rising inflation concerns negatively impact fixed income returns, paving the way for funds to eventually rotate from gold to Bitcoin. The funding rate for Bitcoin perpetual contracts remained below the neutral range when the price broke through $76,000, indicating that the upward trend is driven by spot demand rather than derivative speculation. Gold prices have shown signs of fatigue, and if funds flow out of gold, it could become a catalyst for Bitcoin's continued rise.

The plan aims to move regulations related to crypto assets from the "Funds Settlement Act" to the "Financial Instruments and Exchange Act" to enhance investor protection. For operators selling crypto assets without registration, criminal penalties are proposed to increase from the current "up to 3 years of imprisonment or fines of up to 3 million yen" to "up to 10 years of imprisonment or fines of up to 10 million yen (or both)."In addition, the Securities and Exchange Surveillance Commission will be authorized to conduct mandatory on-site inspections and evidence seizures for criminal investigations.

This move is in response to the increasing disputes related to highly speculative meme tokens.

According to market news, the Seoul Central District Court in South Korea rejected the temporary injunction application filed by the Flow Foundation and Dapper Labs against Upbit, Bithumb, and Coinone, which aimed to suspend the decision of the three exchanges to terminate support for FLOW trading.Previously, these three exchanges decided to terminate trading support for the Flow token due to the FLOW hacking incident that occurred in February. The court found that there was currently insufficient evidence to suspend the delisting decision, and the exchanges' judgment regarding unresolved risks was not obviously erroneous, emphasizing the need to protect potential investors. FLOW can still be traded on the South Korean crypto exchange Korbit, but it was delisted as scheduled by Upbit, Bithumb, and Coinone at 3 PM local time.

Due to the greater number of violations by Bithumb, the industry generally expects its fine to reach a historic high. Bithumb responded that it is still in the pre-notification stage and will fully present its improvement situation through subsequent formal procedures.
