According to CoinDesk, Defiance's leveraged Strategy (MSTR) exchange-traded funds (ETFs) witnessed a significant increase in trading activity on Monday as the shares of the bitcoin-holding firm dropped to their 200-day average. A record 24.33 million shares of the Defiance daily target 2x long MSTR ETF, known by the ticker MSTX, were traded. The ETF's price fell by 32% to $17.90, marking its lowest point since September, as per TradingView data. This ETF aims to achieve 200% of the daily percentage change in the share price of Strategy, previously recognized as MicroStrategy. In contrast, the Defiance daily target 2x short MSTR ETF (SMST) recorded a trading volume of 51.21 million, the highest since November 24. This ETF is designed to provide investment results that correspond to twice the inverse of the daily performance of Strategy's shares. However, the net inflow figures for both funds on Monday remain unavailable. MSTR's shares fell by 16.6% on Monday, reaching their 200-day simple moving average (SMA) and revisiting the late February low of $231.62. This decline occurred amid broader market concerns over a potential U.S. recession and the continued rise of the anti-risk Japanese yen. The share price has decreased by 55% since peaking at $543 on November 21. Strategy holds the title of the world's largest public-listed bitcoin holder, with a substantial reserve of 499,096 BTC valued at $40.4 billion. The company began its bitcoin accumulation strategy in November, using it as a balance sheet asset and has aggressively pursued this strategy by funding purchases through debt sales. On Monday, Strategy announced a $21 billion at-the-market (ATM) offering of its Series A preferred stock (STRK), with the majority of the proceeds intended for new bitcoin acquisitions.

According to Odaily, the first inflation report under U.S. President Donald Trump's administration is set to be released soon. Investors are closely monitoring the report for signs of cooling inflation to assess changes in market risk appetite. Market analysts suggest that if the inflation data falls below expectations, the Federal Reserve might accelerate interest rate cuts, potentially boosting risk assets such as U.S. stocks and cryptocurrencies. Conversely, if inflation remains high, the Federal Reserve may maintain its tight monetary policy, putting pressure on the markets. The performance of Bitcoin and other high-risk assets could be influenced by the findings of this report.

Odaily Planet Daily News According to CoinDesk, Coinbase, the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the United States, has successfully registered with the Indian Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU), paving the way for its return to the Indian market. Coinbase plans to relaunch retail trading services later this year and further expand investment products. Previously, due to regulatory pressure from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), Coinbase suspended operations in India in 2022. This re-entry into the market may indicate that India’s regulatory stance on digital assets has been relaxed, in line with global regulatory trends. (CoinDesk)

According to BlockBeats, Steven Englander, the Global Head of G10 FX Research and North American Macro Strategy at Standard Chartered Bank, expressed on March 11 that concerns about a U.S. economic recession might be exaggerated despite the slowdown in economic growth. He anticipates that declining energy prices and improved weather conditions in the coming months could boost consumer spending, thereby supporting economic growth. Englander forecasts that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates twice this year. In contrast, the Bank of Japan is expected to raise rates twice due to stable inflation and wage growth, which could lead to the yen outperforming other major currencies. The recent wave of U.S. tariff increases might elevate inflation, but the impact is expected to be manageable. Although tariffs could result in higher prices, their overall effect should remain within a controllable range. Englander also predicts that the U.S. government will employ fiscal policies to support economic growth, potentially strengthening the dollar in the latter half of the year.
