Last week, global markets were shaken by Trump’s “reciprocal tariffs” and the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. MEXC listed 16 new tokens across AI, DeFi, Meme, GameFi, RWA, and L2. Spot and Futures trading remained active, while trading events progressed steadily. The crypto market stayed under pressure, with BTC and ETH diverging. Precious metals saw wide swings, while crude oil surged, with WTI hitting a nearly four-year high. To celebrate MEXC’s 8th anniversary, MEXC has launched MEXC 8eyond, featuring a 10,000,000 USDT prize pool and a top prize worth 200,000 USDT in GOLD(XAUT). Early registration is now open!

1. Market and Platform Overview

Last week, the macro environment worsened sharply under the dual pressure of tariff shocks and geopolitical tensions.

On April 2, the Trump administration announced a minimum 10% “reciprocal tariff” on trading partners, with rates on some countries rising as high as 49%. Fears of supply chain disruption and surging inflation quickly turned into broad-based selling pressure. On April 7, global financial markets plunged, with major equities opening sharply lower and crude oil, precious metals, and crypto all coming under heavy pressure. Meanwhile, military tensions among the U.S., Israel, and Iran continued to escalate, and the Strait of Hormuz, a critical energy shipping route that carries around 20% of global oil and LNG flows, has been effectively blocked. With oil prices staying elevated and inflation continuing to rise, expectations for rate cuts have fully disappeared. CME data shows rate cut expectations have now been pushed back to September 2027, with even a slight tightening bias emerging. Analysts at First Abu Dhabi Bank also noted that persistently strong oil prices are becoming a more structural driver of inflation.

Last week, the crypto market remained broadly weak. According to ChainCatcher data on April 7, total crypto market capitalization stood at $2.35 trillion, with Bitcoin accounting for 58.2%, or around $1.37 trillion, while stablecoin market capitalization reached $315.7 billion. Over the past 7 days, Bitcoin fell around 3.28%, Ethereum rose around 3.8%, and Solana declined around 3.95%. The Fear & Greed Index once dropped to an extreme low of 10, pushing market sentiment deep into the “Extreme Fear” zone. Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded net inflows of $22.34 million, while spot Ethereum ETFs saw net outflows of around $71.17 million. This divergence highlights a clear flight-to-safety rotation within the crypto market, with capital continuing to concentrate in Bitcoin at the expense of Ethereum and the broader altcoin market.

In precious metals, gold and silver saw wide swings as safe-haven demand and rate pressure continued to pull in opposite directions. On the morning of April 6, spot gold stood at $4,610.61/oz, down 1.31%, while spot silver came in at $71.556/oz, down 2%. Developments in the Middle East remain a key variable shaping the direction of precious metals.

In crude oil, prices surged sharply last week following the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. On April 7, WTI crude rose 2.6% to $115.3 per barrel, near a four-week high, while Brent crude futures stood at $109.94 per barrel. WTI also posted its fourth straight session of gains, marking a new high since June 2022. The market has shown a rare disconnect between spot and futures pricing, with the May WTI contract trading at a sharp premium to the June Brent contract, clearly reflecting extremely strong demand for immediate crude supply.

In the tokenized U.S. stocks segment, MEXC and Ondo Finance have continued to expand their partnership, which now covers more than 117 tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs, offering users more diversified on-chain asset allocation options.

Looking ahead, market attention will focus on three pivotal events: the upcoming U.S. March CPI data (projected to jump from 0.3% month-over-month in February to 1.0%, representing the sharpest single-month rise since June 2022), the Federal Reserve's March monetary policy meeting minutes, and the evolving Middle East situation. Among these factors, navigation conditions through the Strait of Hormuz remain a critical variable influencing crude oil prices and global inflation expectations.

3. Top 5 Gainers

Several cryptocurrencies on the platform delivered exceptional performance last week. Here are the Top 5 weekly gainers:

Rank	Cryptocurrency	Peak Gain
1	PRTG/USDT	+618.39%
2	BULL l/USDT	+181.50%
3	INCOME/USDT	+174.71%
4	XCX/USDT	+165.79%
5	BULLA/USDT	+108.65%

Note: Last week witnessed significant surges in PRTG, Bull, INCOME, XCX, and BULLA, fueled predominantly by short-term speculative capital. These assets typically exhibit common traits including limited market capitalization, thin liquidity, meme-driven narratives, or oversold technical conditions. Specifically, PRTG rebounded following a security-related crash; INCOME capitalized on ongoing meme momentum within the Solana ecosystem; BULLA gained momentum through celebrity endorsements and futures leverage. Overall, these gains lack solid fundamental backing and reflect typical high-volatility capital rotation among speculative assets.
