According to ChainCatcher, Web3 asset data platform RootData issued a daily transparency alert on Twitter (X), highlighting missing information such as the team, key calendar events, and token data for projects including Sentism.AI, Fortune, Ultima, Etherex, and Solomon Labs. The platform calls for project teams to submit or update their details on RootData to improve their transparency score. Additionally, RootData stated it will continue to monitor and expose “black box” projects that lack critical information. It is reported that the RootData transparency score is used to measure the completeness and timeliness of projects, aiming to reflect the state of information disclosure, and calls for project teams to immediately claim their project. The transparency score is divided into five levels from A to F, with lower scores indicating more incomplete project disclosures and higher risks of misconduct, which investors should be highly cautious about.

BlockBeats news, April 8, according to Cointelegraph, on-chain data and derivatives market indicators show that Ethereum buying power is returning, but analysts warn that bulls must defend the $2,000 support level. CryptoQuant data shows that Ethereum's net taker volume has remained positive since March 6, reaching $140 million on March 16 and currently maintaining $104 million. Net taker volume is an indicator measuring the degree of imbalance between aggressive buyers and sellers in the derivatives market. CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost said: "Since the last bear market, this is the first time we have observed such a mechanism shift in the Ethereum derivatives market." He added that if this situation continues, and if the spot market and ETF follow suit, Ethereum is likely to resume its upward trend. Regarding futures open interest, the current open interest stands at 6.4 million ETH, close to the all-time high of 7.8 million ETH set in July 2025, and has recovered gradually from the low of 5 million ETH in October last year. The spot Ethereum ETF also saw a net inflow turn positive on Monday, with a single-day net inflow of $120 million, the highest since mid-March. In terms of price, analyst Ted Pillows said: "As long as the $2,000 support is held, Ethereum is likely to make another push upward; once this level is breached, a new low for the year may follow." Glassnode's cost basis distribution data shows that over 3.5 million ETH have their cost basis concentrated around $2,000; if this area is breached, the next support zone is $1,750 to $1,800, where about 1.36 million ETH were accumulated. If the price falls further below this support, the measured target for the symmetrical triangle points to $1,460, about 30% lower than the current price.

Private think tank Teikoku Databank (TDB) stated that the number of corporate bankruptcies in Japan increased for the fourth consecutive year in fiscal 2025, reaching a total of 10,425 cases, a 3.5% increase compared to the previous year, and surpassing the 10 thousand mark for the second year in a row. Companies are currently facing the dual challenges of rising input costs and labor shortages.TDB pointed out that even before the escalation of Middle East conflicts caused by US and Israeli strikes on Iran at the end of February, businesses were already under pressure from high input and labor costs. As crude oil prices soared, fuel, chemical products, plastic goods, building materials, and fertilizers saw widespread price increases, leading to mounting concerns over rising costs among companies.The institute warned that Japan could experience a surge in bankruptcies around the summer, and the number of bankruptcy cases is expected to increase further in fiscal 2026. This matches the Bank of Japan’s regional branch quarterly report released on Monday, which warned that surging oil prices and supply disruptions could harm the economy.The Bank of Japan will weigh downside risks to economic growth against inflationary pressures at its policy meeting on April 27-28, using this assessment as a key basis for deciding whether to raise interest rates.
