US Treasury Initiates Implementation of GENIUS Act
The US Department of the Treasury has begun implementing the GENIUS Act. The regulator issued its first notice and invited market participants to provide comments within 60 days. In an 87-page document, the department explains how to determine whether state-level regulatory regimes for stablecoins are "substantially similar" to the federal system. Two Levels of Requirements Under the GENIUS Act, issuers of "stablecoins" with an issuance volume of less than $10 billion may opt for state-level regulation, provided they meet federal standards. The proposed rule sets general criteria for such assessment, allowing local authorities freedom in licensing, supervision, and enforcement. The document divides the requirements into two types: uniform — reserve backing, compliance with AML/CFT; state-calibrated — where local regulators retain discretion (e.g., capital and risk management standards). The key role in overseeing non-bank stablecoin issuers (when exceeding the $10 billion threshold) is assigned to the OCC — it is to its rules and interpretations that the federal standard is tied. State regimes may be stricter than federal ones, provided they do not contradict the law and maintain overall comparability. Reporting and Naming Requirements States will not be able to weaken basic disclosure standards. Issuers are required to publish reports on reserve composition at least once a month — with the same frequency as at the federal level. Naming restrictions also apply to both systems: companies regulated by states are prohibited from using certain terms in the branding of "stablecoins." The federal law remains the baseline. Any future Congressional legislation on stablecoin issuer regulation automatically applies to firms under state supervision unless otherwise specified. Context The adoption of the GENIUS Act in 2025 marked a turning point in US cryptocurrency policy. The law established the first federal standard for stablecoins, requiring issuers to have full reserve backing, comply with AML/CFT requirements, and publish reports. Simultaneously, Congress is advancing additional bills, including the CLARITY Act, which aims to delineate the jurisdictions of the SEC and the CFTC. Discussions are ongoing — the current version of the bill has raised questions among industry representatives. Many opposed the provision that prohibits earning income solely from holding stablecoins. In March, US authorities recognized the right of cryptocurrency mixer users to privacy. Later, the country proposed new rules for 401(k) retirement plans, reforms for the mining industry, and legislative protection for the strategic bitcoin reserve.

Whales switch from accumulating to distributing bitcoin
Large holders have shifted from accumulating the first cryptocurrency to distributing it, and the trend appears long term, according to CryptoQuant analysts. Whales have flipped from buyers to sellers.1K–10K BTC holders are now distributing, with 1Y holdings at -188K BTC after +200K accumulation in 2024.This isn’t short-term. The 365D trend is declining, signaling structural selling pressure. pic.twitter.com/2Y4hwwVgnI— CryptoQuant.com (@cryptoquant_com) April 1, 2026 Over the past year, addresses holding 1,000–10,000 BTC have reduced their balances by 188,000 BTC. By contrast, in 2024 they accumulated 200,000 BTC. The 365-day trend is heading lower, indicating structural selling pressure. “The pace accelerated sharply in the fourth quarter of 2025. Historically, persistent negative whale accumulation has coincided with periods of prolonged price weakness, and current data indicate that selling remains a significant structural headwind,” the experts noted. Institutional buying has resumed, Strategy is accumulating, but retail investors and other market participants continue to sell. Apparent demand was negative at 63,000 BTC at the end of March. This confirms the market remains in a distribution phase, with current dynamics limiting upside for the first cryptocurrency. Another layer of support is fading: mid-sized investors who previously added to positions are now buying more slowly. In parallel, US demand for bitcoin is falling. The Coinbase premium index has turned negative: American investors are no longer propelling “digital gold” higher. Possible rebound In March bitcoin broke a five-month losing streak, adding 2.2%. This happened even as the war in Iran lifted energy prices and stoked inflation expectations, hurting other risk assets. Even so, the cryptocurrency remains roughly 45% below the October peak of $126,000. At the time of writing the asset trades around $66,400. Hourly chart of BTC/USDT on Binance. Source: TradingView. CryptoQuant sees scope for a short-term bounce. However, this would require an improvement in macro conditions, above all a de-escalation of the Middle East conflict. “A reduction in geopolitical tensions could be a positive catalyst, potentially triggering a ‘relief’ rally,” the analysts concluded. Extreme uncertainty On April 1 signs emerged of a possible end to the war in Iran. US President Donald Trump said Tehran had asked the United States for a ceasefire. The prospect of an end to the conflict buoyed investors and supported prices. However, Iranian authorities immediately denied his claim. A few hours later Trump addressed the nation, promising to “hit Iran hard.” Following those remarks, US Treasuries rallied, while the S&P 500 shed $500bn in market value within minutes. The shock spread to digital assets as well. According to the analyst known as Darkfost, selling in Ethereum derivatives exceeded $1bn, $968m of which was on Binance alone. 🔴 $1B in ETH selling hits derivatives in 1 hour After Trump’s speech.While markets around the world were expecting a de-escalation speech from Donald Trump regarding the conflict with Iran, his remarks went in a completely different direction.Instead, Trump made it clear… pic.twitter.com/nz6kIK1Clw— Darkfost (@Darkfost_Coc) April 2, 2026 That pushed the leading altcoin down nearly 5% over the past 24 hours. At the time of writing it trades around $2,000. Hourly chart of ETH/USDT on Binance. Source: TradingView. “Overall, financial markets are now facing a period of extreme uncertainty and volatility, making price action increasingly fragile and unpredictable,” Darkfost noted. Positive signal Activity on crypto exchanges has returned to levels that in past cycles marked structural market resets. The Fund Flow Ratio has compressed to ~0.065, said CryptoQuant researcher Ignacio Moreno de Vicente. Exchange Activity Is Back at Reset Levels — Or Losing Relevance?“If it breaks materially below prior support, then this time the contraction would look less like a healthy reset and more like a deeper deterioration in market engagement.” – By @MorenoDV_ pic.twitter.com/lsOijUgqVB— CryptoQuant.com (@cryptoquant_com) April 2, 2026 Historically, this zone has repeatedly acted as a “market reset level” during broader bull cycles: in 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2023. On each prior occasion when the 30-day Fund Flow Ratio fell to similar levels, bitcoin either completed a correction or moved through a consolidation that was followed by gains. Earlier, Glassnode analysts noted stagnation in the leading cryptocurrency. In their view, the market needs a catalyst to shift the trend.

The firm's shares are trading at $302. Over the past day, the stock price has fallen by 1.9%. Source: Yahoo Finance. The Other Side Companies and governments that actively accumulated bitcoin over the past two years are now exiting positions, writes CoinDesk. Public firms manage over 1.16 million BTC (about 5% of the total cryptocurrency supply), but the trend towards liquidation is gaining momentum. The cause is the weak price dynamics of digital gold, which has been in a downward trend since last autumn. On April 1, Empery Digital announced the sale of 370 BTC ($24.7 million) at an average price of $66,632. It retains 2,989 BTC on its balance sheet. Part of the funds was used to fully repay a loan, and about 1,800 BTC, previously held as collateral, were released. The company began forming a bitcoin treasury in July 2025, accumulating a total of approximately 4,000 BTC. The firm's shares have plummeted 75% from their all-time high. The AI-focused educational project Genius Group has completely sold off its reserves. As recently as March last year, the startup held 440 BTC. On April 1, 2026, the management sold the last 84 BTC to repay a debt of $8.5 million. The company stated it would resume accumulation once market conditions become more favorable. Bitcoin miner Riot Platforms continues to sell bitcoins to finance a pivot towards AI. Recently, the company moved 500 BTC (~$34.13 million). It seems that Bitcoin mining company Riot Platforms sold another 500 $BTC($34.13M) 2 hours ago.https://t.co/x90aGbqgsY pic.twitter.com/cDLvWC79mF— Lookonchain (@lookonchain) April 1, 2026 In the last two months of 2025, the firm liquidated about $200 million in BTC. The peak reserves reached 19,000 BTC, now around 17,500 BTC. Since the beginning of this year, the government of Bhutan has sold 3,103 BTC. For several years, the country accumulated digital gold through state mining. Amid market corrections, crypto treasuries have incurred billion-dollar "paper" losses.
