According to Huoxun Finance, the cryptocurrency market weakened overall on Friday, with Bitcoin hovering around $77,800, its upward trend from $65,000 since Wednesday showing a significant slowdown. Ethereum was quoted at $2,300, down about 0.8% in the last 24 hours, underperforming Bitcoin. The market pressure mainly stemmed from two factors: First, Japan's March corporate service price index rose 3.1% year-on-year, exceeding market expectations, and core inflation also accelerated. The market anticipates that the Bank of Japan may signal an interest rate hike at its next policy meeting, and a stronger yen could trigger the unwinding of carry trades in global risk assets. Second, the ongoing conflict related to Iran continues to disrupt oil transportation in the Strait of Hormuz. WTI crude oil futures have risen more than 40% to $96 per barrel since the conflict began, and the Pentagon has warned that clearing mines will take at least six months. Global inflationary pressures may persist, further compressing the Federal Reserve's room for interest rate cuts.

According to Huoxun Finance, prediction market platform Polymarket announced on its X platform that it released enhanced market integrity rules last month to combat insider trading. When it discovers users using classified government information for trading, the platform will refer the matter to the Department of Justice and cooperate with the investigation. Polymarket absolutely does not tolerate insider trading, and this recent arrest by US federal authorities proves the effectiveness of this system. The arrest refers to the arrest this Thursday of a special forces soldier involved in the capture of Venezuelan President Maduro, who is suspected of profiting over $400,000 by betting on Maduro's downfall. According to sources, federal investigators believe the commando placed over $33,000 on Polymarket hours before Trump announced Maduro's capture in January.
