UPDATE: Short interest in the Russell 3000 has risen to its highest level in more than 15 years, according to data from Barchart.

Altcoins are under intense selling pressure, with more than 40% trading at or near all-time lows, according to CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost. The share is higher than levels recorded during the previous bear market. Darkfost said geopolitical tensions are contributing to elevated volatility. He also pointed to rapid token proliferation as a structural headwind: more than 47 million tokens now exist across blockchains, spreading capital across a much larger universe and leaving liquidity increasingly fragmented.

BNP Paribas plans to roll out six crypto exchange-traded notes (ETNs) linked to Bitcoin and Ethereum in France on March 30, 2026, the bank said. The products will be distributed via its local platform to retail investors and private banking clients, offering indirect exposure to digital assets without requiring direct ownership. The bank said the ETNs use index-linked structures to track Bitcoin and Ethereum. As with ETNs generally, investors face both market risk and issuer credit risk. The offering will be made under MiFID II, aligning the products with EU standards on transparency and investor protection. BNP Paribas said the initial launch will focus on domestic clients, with distribution to other regions planned in stages. The launch sits alongside the group's broader blockchain agenda, including work in trade finance, securities settlement and digital-asset infrastructure. BNP Paribas has also partnered with fintech and blockchain firms and is part of the Qivalis consortium, which is developing a euro-pegged stablecoin aimed for a late-2026 rollout under MiCA rules. The bank recently tested tokenized money market fund shares using Ethereum infrastructure within a controlled environment. The initiative comes as retail investing activity in France has increased. About 2.5 million individuals traded equities in 2025, with roughly 1.6 million new participants joining over the past three years. French households also hold around €2 trillion in liquid savings, a pool that could support demand for structured crypto-linked exposure if allocations shift toward such instruments.

Digital asset investment products recorded $414 million in net outflows last week, pushing total assets under management down to $129 billion and ending a five-week streak of weekly inflows. Ethereum led the withdrawals with $222 million in outflows, bringing year-to-date flows to $273 million.

Spot Bitcoin $BTC ETFs stayed under pressure last week, with investors pulling $296 million in net outflows from March 23–27, SoSoValue data show. Spot Ethereum $ETH ETFs saw net redemptions of $207 million over the same period.

Digital-asset investment products posted their first weekly net outflow in five weeks, with $414 million leaving the sector, CoinShares said. Assets under management fell to $129 billion, a level last seen in early February. CoinShares analyst James Butterfill attributed the move to ongoing tensions involving Iran and rising inflation expectations, which he said helped shift market pricing for the June Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) decision from rate cuts toward potential rate hikes. Outflows were concentrated in the United States, which recorded $445 million in net redemptions for the week. Switzerland saw a smaller $4 million outflow. Germany and Canada drew dip-buying inflows of $21.2 million and $15.9 million, respectively. By asset, Ethereum led withdrawals with $222 million in outflows, which CoinShares linked to developments around the Clarity Act. That pushed Ethereum's year-to-date net outflow to $273 million. Bitcoin saw $194 million leave over the week but remained positive year to date with $964 million in net inflows. Solana registered $12.3 million in outflows. XRP was among the few gainers, taking in $15.8 million for the week.
