Last week, the crypto market remained under pressure. MEXC listed 39 new tokens, with ASTRAI gaining over 2,118%. Spot and futures trading stayed active, while multiple trading campaigns progressed steadily.
BTC and ETH both moved lower, ETF flows remained negative, and market sentiment fell into Extreme Fear. Meanwhile, the market cap of tokenized equities surpassed $4 billion, suggesting a gradual shift of capital toward on-chain real-world assets. Precious metals fell first and then rebounded sharply at month-end, while crude oil stayed elevated in a range-bound market.This week, the macro backdrop continued to center on persistent inflation and delayed rate cut expectations. The U.S. manufacturing PMI for March reached a two-month high, reinforcing expectations that the Federal Reserve may keep interest rates higher for longer. As a result, the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield remained in the upper range seen since mid-2025. At the same time, geopolitical tensions in the Middle East continued to escalate. Rising risks around the Strait of Hormuz pushed up energy costs and further intensified global inflation concerns. Against this backdrop, overall market risk appetite remained constrained, and major asset classes continued to diverge.
The crypto market remained weak this week, with total market capitalization down 2.5%. BTC fell 2.7%, dropping below $70,000, while ETH declined 3.4%. Spot ETF flows also reversed sharply, with Bitcoin ETFs recording net outflows of about $296 million and Ethereum ETFs seeing net outflows of about $207 million, suggesting a short-term pullback in institutional capital. Market sentiment dropped into Extreme Fear. Despite broad weakness across major assets, Bittensor (TAO) rose 20.8% against the trend. The move was mainly driven by the successful training of a decentralized large language model on its subnet, while a public comparison made by NVIDIA's CEO added further momentum to the AI + Crypto narrative. From the perspective of smart money flows, institutional capital showed a clear preference for rotating out of crowded assets and toward real-world assets. The total market cap of tokenized stocks has now surpassed $4 billion, suggesting that some capital is shifting from purely narrative-driven crypto assets to on-chain real-world assets.
In precious metals, London spot gold fell 10.71%, while silver dropped 19.00%. The pullback was mainly driven by two factors. First, market expectations around the Federal Reserve turned more hawkish. With inflation proving sticky, discussions around further rate hikes resurfaced, weakening the appeal of gold as a non-yielding asset. Second, some central banks, including Turkey's, sold gold reserves to ease liquidity pressure. At the same time, safe-haven sentiment remained volatile amid ongoing geopolitical tensions, limiting sustained support for gold prices. On March 31, however, both gold and silver rebounded sharply. Spot gold briefly rose above $4,600 per ounce, with intraday gains of more than 2%, while spot silver also jumped more than 7% at one point, reaching a high of $75.11 per ounce.
In crude oil, prices saw sharp swings at elevated levels this week as tensions around the Strait of Hormuz continued to drive volatility. Any news related to a possible blockade or attack triggered significant price moves, although supply-side uncertainty continued to provide downside support. According to Xinhua, citing The Wall Street Journal, U.S. President Donald Trump told aides that he would be willing to end U.S. military action against Iran even if the Strait of Hormuz remained closed. The remark added fresh uncertainty to the outlook for the oil market.
In tokenized U.S. equities, momentum continued this week after the SEC approved Nasdaq to allow tokenized trading of Russell 1000 constituents and certain major ETFs. The total market cap of tokenized stocks has now surpassed $4 billion. These tokenized securities are fully interchangeable with traditional equities, while investors still retain voting rights and dividend rights. Settlement follows a T+1 standard. This development significantly improves asset programmability and trading efficiency, signaling that the tokenization of traditional finance is moving from concept to scale and may attract more institutional capital to access traditional assets through blockchain channels.
Looking ahead, the market will watch the upcoming U.S. nonfarm payrolls report for March. A stronger-than-expected reading could further support expectations of prolonged Fed tightening and keep pressure on risk assets. Meanwhile, developments around the Strait of Hormuz will remain a key driver of crude oil prices and inflation expectations. In crypto, the expansion of tokenized real-world assets may continue to emerge as a new direction for capital flows.
