Binance Responds to ACT Flash Crash: Caused by Large Holders' Concentrated Selling, No Manipulation Detected

Binance's official account @BinanceHelpDesk responded on X platform. According to the announcement, the incident was mainly due to three VIP users concentrated selling tokens worth about $514,000 in the spot market, and a non-VIP user transferring and quickly selling ACT tokens worth $540,000 from an external platform. The related selling triggered partial futures contract forced liquidation and caused a market chain reaction.

Binance stated that after investigation, no single account was found to have gained significant profits from the incident. As the tokens are circulating in the secondary market, the platform cannot intervene in normal market trading. To prevent risks, Binance has proactively reduced the leverage multiple of ACT/USDT perpetual contracts and emphasized continuing to improve market liquidity through market maker programs.

Previously, ACT's 50% flash crash sparked community discussion.

According to the official announcement, Binance C2C will adjust the T+1 withdrawal plan starting from April 1, 2025, specifically:
Binance will add a T+0 withdrawal quota of $1,000 worth of assets for all users on top of the existing T+1 withdrawal mechanism;
If the user has no assets in their Binance account, regardless of how much they buy that day, they can only withdraw up to $1,000 worth of assets on the day of purchase, with the remaining assets requiring withdrawal 24 hours after the order is completed;
If the user already has assets in their Binance account, an additional T+0 withdrawal quota of $1,000 worth of assets will be added on top of the original C2C T+1 withdrawal restrictions;
All Trading Stars users who buy cryptocurrencies of any amount on C2C will not be subject to T+1 withdrawal restrictions.

Binance will list KERNEL as the fourth Megadrop project

According to the official announcement, Binance announced that the fourth Megadrop project is KernelDAO (KERNEL), a restaking protocol supporting Kernel, Kelp, and Gain. KERNEL has a maximum supply of 1 billion tokens, with Megadrop rewards of 40 million tokens (4% of total supply). The initial circulating supply is 162.3 million tokens (16.23%). Specific listing time and details will be announced separately within a week.

Analysis: ACT Flash Crash Due to Binance Adjusting ACT Leverage Position Limits, Market Makers' Excess Positions Liquidated at Market Price

Benson Sun, founder of Coinkarma, analyzed on X platform, "At 18:30 today, ACT suddenly plummeted 50%, caused by Binance adjusting ACT's leverage position limits, with 1x leverage limited to a maximum of $4.5 million position. Some market makers' positions exceeded the limit and were directly liquidated at market price, causing a contract price crash and a huge price difference with spot, which also crashed subsequently.
Binance's announcement was issued on April 1 at 15:32, effective at 18:30 on April 1, giving users less than 3 hours to react. More incredibly, Binance had already modified ACT's position limits once on March 31, and on April 1, further cut low-leverage position limits by 50%.
Before modifying rules, Binance should have assessed how many positions would be liquidated. If market makers have large positions, they should have been notified in advance. As an industry leader, we hope Binance can handle this incident properly."

Arthur Hayes: Bitcoin Could Reach $250,000 by Year-End Despite US Stock Decline

BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes reaffirmed his long-term bullish stance on Bitcoin in his latest blog. He stated that Bitcoin's pricing is fundamentally about "technology + fiat liquidity", with no significant technological changes currently, and the market is primarily trading based on future fiat supply expectations.
Hayes believes that if the Federal Reserve truly shifts from quantitative tightening (QT) to quantitative easing (QE), Bitcoin has already bottomed around $76,500. He said that despite potential US stock market declines due to tariffs, reduced corporate earnings expectations, or weak overseas demand, Bitcoin is still likely to continue rising, potentially challenging $250,000 by year-end.

Grayscale Executive: Tariff Impact May Be Priced In, Crypto Market Might Return to Fundamentals

Zach Pandl, Grayscale's Research Director, stated that the negative impact of tariffs on cryptocurrencies may have already been "priced" by the market, with the worst phase possibly over. He believes that if the tariff policy announced by Trump on April 2 is tough but phased, focusing on 15 target countries, the market might see a rebound, and the crypto market could refocus on positive fundamentals. Additionally, Pandl noted that tariffs will enhance market interest in non-dollar assets, benefiting alternative currency assets including Bitcoin.
