BlockBeats News, February 10 — Jiang Zhuoer, founder of B.TOP Mining Pool, stated, "Currently, U.S. stock market funds’ understanding of ETH is still in the stage of 2014-2015 in the crypto circle. The slogan ‘digital gold’ for BTC is well understood outside the circle, but ETH’s ‘smart contracts’ are much more complex.
The first surge in the ETH/BTC exchange rate began with the massive rise of ICOs in 2016-2017, with many tokens being launched on the chain. The second surge in the ETH/BTC exchange rate started around 2026-2027, driven by the blockchainization of traditional finance (USD, U.S. stocks, U.S. bonds), with many RMA tokens being launched on the chain."

BTC 15-minute drop of 0.54%: Weak liquidity and whale sell pressure jointly drive the decline
2026-03-30 14:15 to 14:30 (UTC) saw a significant abnormal move in the Bitcoin spot market. The short-term return rate was -0.54%, the price ranged from 67249.9 to 67698.6 USDT, and the amplitude reached 0.66%. Overall, trading volume and depth remain at extremely low levels within the year, which has increased volatility. Market attention has risen, and investors’ risk-avoidance sentiment has warmed.
The main drivers of this abnormal move are fragile liquidity and concentrated whale fund selling. Specifically, spot trading volume has fallen to its lowest level since November 2023, and the 1% market depth has broken below 0.5%, indicating a significant reduction in market liquidity and increased risk of further sharp declines.
