Despite increased institutional buying, Bitcoin demand remains under pressure. As of the end of last month, apparent demand (a measure of whether demand exceeds or falls short of new Bitcoin mining) was approximately -63,000 coins, despite increased ETF buying and continued accumulation by Strategy Inc. The report indicates that retail and other market participants' selling has outpaced institutional buying, and demand has been contracting since late November 2025, with the market still in a distribution phase. The whale group, which accumulated approximately 200,000 Bitcoins during the 2024 bull market, began large-scale distribution in mid-2025, with the pace of selling accelerating in the fourth quarter of 2025. The buying pace of medium-sized investors is also slowing. Bitcoin rose 2.2% in March, ending a five-month losing streak, but is currently priced at around $68,000, down about 45% from its early October high of $126,000. In the US market, the Coinbase premium has turned negative again, indicating weakening buying from US investors. CryptoQuant suggests that Bitcoin prices may rebound in the short term if geopolitical tensions ease.

On April 2, recent developments in the U.S.-Iran-Israel conflict have intensified. According to BlockBeats, Iran's military claims to have targeted Israeli defense companies and advanced its 'Real Commitment-4' operation to the 89th round. Official reports indicate that over 115,000 civilian facilities have been damaged due to the conflict. Iran continues to strike Israeli and U.S. military bases with missiles and drones, aiming to force U.S. military withdrawal from the Middle East. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard stated that the Strait of Hormuz will not be opened due to U.S. President Donald Trump's comments, and Iranian officials declared that even if navigation resumes, it will not be open to the U.S. The Iranian Foreign Minister emphasized the rejection of a ceasefire and demanded guarantees to prevent similar conflicts in the future. Additionally, Iran reported that its meteorological radar facilities were attacked by U.S. and Israeli forces, a senior advisor was severely injured, and denied any requests for a ceasefire. On the U.S. side, reports suggest Trump has 'lost patience' and will deliver a national address at 9 a.m. UTC+8, potentially announcing the nearing end of the Iran conflict, while attributing the responsibility for the Strait's security to NATO. The U.S. has expanded its Middle East deployment, doubling the number of A-10 attack aircraft, and intelligence agencies assess that Iran currently lacks substantial negotiation intentions. Trump indicated plans to 'withdraw soon' without providing a timeline and mentioned monitoring Iranian nuclear materials via satellite. In Israel, the Prime Minister stated that Iran no longer poses a 'survival threat.' The Israeli military reported using approximately 16,000 munitions, destroying thousands of targets, and claimed Iran's missile capabilities and command chain have been weakened. Israeli forces conducted airstrikes in Lebanon, killing a Hezbollah southern front commander, while internal concerns arise over Trump's potential premature announcement of the operation's end. Other regional dynamics include the UAE intercepting over 2,000 drones and considering joint operations with U.S. forces to ensure Strait navigation. Saudi Arabia's oil exports have decreased by about 50% due to Strait obstructions. Regional energy and industry have been impacted, with UAE's Global Aluminum closing a smelting plant due to attacks. Vladimir Zelensky stated that Ukraine is engaging in cooperation talks with several Middle Eastern countries, while Russia denied providing intelligence support to Iran targeting civilian facilities.
