While the spot market has slowed down, the futures market is growing at an extremely high rate compared to spot, reshaping the market dynamics of ETH.
Futures Lead The Way In The Ethereum Market
As the week begins, Ethereum, the leading altcoin, is exhibiting a key development in its market dynamics. Even with broader market volatility, the derivatives activity of ETH is at the top of its game, snatching volumes at a notable rate.
Darkfost, an author at CryptoQuant and market expert, has outlined a strong divergence between BTC futures and the spot market. Looking at both markets, ETH futures volumes are running higher than those of spot markets. With traders primarily relying on leveraged positions rather than outright asset ownership, this imbalance suggests that the market is becoming more dominated by speculation.
The expert shared that the spot-to-futures volume ratio on Binance has recently dropped to the 0.13 level, marking the lowest annual level ever recorded for Ethereum. From a practical standpoint, this pattern implies that future volumes are 7 times larger than spot volumes. To put another way, almost $7 passes through futures contracts for every $1 traded on the spot market. 
This dynamic implies that Ethereum price changes are currently being driven by speculation. While this pattern remains difficult to interpret, it is generally not a good sign for markets. Excessive leverage can increase volatility through position changes or liquidation events and does not offer a solid structural foundation.
At the same time, current uncertainty, both geopolitical and economic, is powering a large share of investors to remain cautious. However, another key portion of this trend is that it does not appear to apply to the most speculative participants. 
The derivatives market on ETH remains highly active, with Open Interest gradually demonstrating signs of a rebound since reaching 5 million ETH. However, on-chain data shows that the open interest is now sitting at 6.4 million ETH, which is not far away from its previous all-time high of 7.8 million ETH, achieved in July 2025. 
Binance is at the forefront of this rising open interest, solely accounting for 2.3 million ETH, representing roughly 36% dominance in the ETH derivatives market. 
ETH Withdrawal From Crypto Exchanges Expands
Ethereum’s exchange outflows do not seem to slow down. According to Nexo, ETH on crypto exchanges has declined to its lowest level since 2016, and it’s not coming back quickly.
During this massive exchange withdrawal, staking queues were backed up for nearly 50 days, while the exit queue has almost finished. Next, it is noted that supply is locked in by design. At this point, the price is particularly vulnerable to any significant increase in demand when there is less ETH available on exchanges.

Bitcoin’s 666,666 Block Carries This Powerful Message</title><description><![CDATA[The Bitcoin (BTC) history is filled with strange milestones, and the latest appears to be a single block mined in 2021. Crypto enthusiasts have uncovered surprising details about the 666,666th block, which contains a powerful biblical message that has sparked widespread attention for its unusual mix of superstition and religious symbolism. The news comes as the market celebrates Easter, creating an even more ominous coincidence, which many crypto users are already circulating online. 
Bitcoin 666,666th Block Sparks Widespread Curiosity
While Bitcoin has captured global attention through its innovative technology and surging price, the cryptocurrency’s blockchain continues to reveal intriguing details that fuel speculation among users and analysts. On January 18, 2021, Bitcoin’s 666,666th block was successfully mined by BTC.com, a mining pool responsible for validating transactions and adding new blocks to the chain. 
The block’s number alone was enough to send corners of the internet into frenzy, with many pouting to the figure&#8217;s association with the biblical “number of the beast.”  However, even more intriguing, a short, clear message was permanently recorded within the block. It reads, “Do not be overcome by evil but overcome evil with good,” followed by a reference to the Bible verse Roman 12:21. 
In Christian tradition, the number 666 is widely regarded as the mark of the “Antichrist,” drawn from the Book of Revelations. The number’s repetition within the single block also appears to deepen the symbolism, catching the attention of many crypto community members. As for the embedded message, Romans 12:21 is widely interpreted as a call to resist evil and corruption while triumphing against darkness through virtue.  
Whatever the hidden meaning, the block’s message is circulating all over X and other social media. The text can still be viewed on-chain today through public explorers, where the record remains fixed as part of the block’s data. It was added through a Bitcoin feature called OP_Return, which allows users to attach small pieces of text directly onto the blockchain, making them permanent and unchangeable once confirmed. The block’s miner reportedly paid over five times the normal fees to add the message, with the transaction linked to wallets named “God” and “Bible.”
Origin Of BTC’s 666,666th Block
As news about the 666,666th block spreads, some crypto members have begun questioning the timing and source of the message. One user even speculated whether it might be linked to Bitcoin’s pseudonymous founder and creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. Even more interestingly, the widespread attention and discussion came a day after Nakamoto’s birthday, April 5. 
However, reports indicate that the message was never part of Bitcoin’s original design and was not placed there by Nakamoto. The Bitcoin creator stepped away from the project in 2011, years before block 666,666 was ever mined. Additionally, the Romans 12:21 inscription was also added by an anonymous Bitcoin founder over a decade after Nakamoto’s disappearance. Since the text was an external addition, its placement has no direct connection to Bitcoin’s core history or its mysterious founder.

XRP Has Witnessed A Surge In Open Interest Recently
As pointed out by CryptoQuant community analyst Maartunn in a Sunday X post, the XRP Open Interest witnessed a sharp surge. The &#8220;Open Interest&#8221; here refers to an indicator that measures the total amount of positions related to the cryptocurrency that are currently open on all centralized exchanges. The metric includes both short and long positions.
As the chart shared by Maartunn shows, the XRP Open Interest climbed to $943 million during the weekend.
The increase in the indicator naturally implies a jump in speculative activity among derivatives market traders tok place. Now, what kind of bets were traders opening? The answer to that can be inferred from the Funding Rate, which tracks the amount of periodic fees that derivatives contract holders are paying each other.
From the chart, it&#8217;s visible that the Funding Rate remained negative during the Open Interest surge, suggesting short investors were paying a premium to the long ones. In other words, the new positions that appeared leaned in the bearish direction.
Generally, a sharp rise in the Open Interest can lead into market volatility, as the risk of mass liquidations occurring can go up. The side that&#8217;s more likely to be caught up in such a squeeze tends to be the one that&#8217;s more dominant. Since the new Open Interest increase came alongside a red Funding Rate, a short squeeze became more probable to happen.
XRP has observed a bounce over the past day, so it&#8217;s possible that short liquidations had a role in it. As the analyst has highlighted in a new post, however, the Open Interest has still remained at high levels even after the rebound.
Currently, the XRP Open Interest is sitting at $952 million, higher than it was on Sunday. Thus, it would appear that a further influx of speculative activity has occurred in the market. &#8220;Open Interest didn’t fully reset, and price is now tapping resistance,&#8221; noted Maartunn. &#8220;Not the kind of structure I want to overstay.&#8221;
XRP isn&#8217;t alone in finding a rebound in the past day; the rest of the cryptocurrency sector has also surged. Bitcoin, for example, has gone up by more than 4% over the last 24 hours.
Like with XRP, the rally has been accompanied by a spike in the Open Interest, a potential sign that leverage is driving the market right now. &#8220;These rallies are usually fragile. Around 75% tend to return to their origin,&#8221; explained the analyst.
XRP Price
At the time of writing, XRP is floating around $1.35, unchanged from one week ago.

Crude climbed to about $112 a barrel on Monday morning after the Middle East war and the Strait of Hormuz shutdown added new pressure to energy markets, while one market watcher warned that if prices stay near that level for weeks, US inflation could edge up again.
Oil Market Pressure Builds
US President Donald Trump added to the tension with a new warning for Iran. In a post on Truth Social, he said Iran would be “living in Hell” if the Strait of Hormuz is not reopened, and he set a fresh deadline, saying the country now has until Tuesday or face attacks on its power plants and bridges.
The message did not stop there. Trump also told Fox News that Iran was negotiating and said there was a “good chance” of a deal within 24 hours. Axios later reported that the US, Iran and regional mediators were discussing a 45-day ceasefire that could end the war.
Market Jump Follows The Headlines
Crypto moved quickly on the mixed signals. Total market value rose about $70 billion, or 2.5%, to $2.38 trillion in early Monday trading, reaching an 11-day high. Bitcoin touched $69,870 on Coinbase, according to TradingView data cited in the report.
The move also hit traders who had bet against the market. CoinGlass data showed roughly $255 million in liquidations over 24 hours, with 73% coming from short positions. That points to a fast squeeze, not a slow build driven by steady buying.
The wider backdrop is still the war itself. The conflict has lasted more than a month, and the strain on energy supply has helped push oil higher. Based on reports in the piece, Americans have been paying an extra $240 million a day for fuel since the war began on Feb. 28.
A Risky Week Ahead
That oil pressure is the part markets are watching most closely. The Kobeissi Letter, as cited in the report, said inflation tied to the US Consumer Price Index could rise to about 3.7% if current oil levels hold for another seven weeks.
For now, crypto is moving on headlines that can flip in hours. Trump’s latest remarks carried both a threat and a door left open for a deal, leaving traders to sort through a market that is reacting to war, energy prices and shifting US signals all at once.

Why Litecoin Is Not ‘Dead’ And Is About To See A Parabolic Rally
In an X post, Shah stated that bears who think Litecoin is “dead money” are about to be the fuel for the most violent face-melt of 2026. The analyst pointed to the macro reality, noting that LTC is currently sitting in a 1,400-day accumulation zone. He added that this is 1,440 days of sideways grind, with the altcoin absorbing every weak hand and building a very solid base. 
Shah then alluded to history, noting that XRP had a similar price action before its 2017 explosion of over 40,000%. The same happened for Cardano before it rallied from cents to dollars. The Solana price also showed a similar pattern when it traded at $10, just before its “legendary” run to $260. 
Now, Litecoin is printing the same “Spring” signature, with Shah stating that the 1-week chart is a “coiled snake.” He declared that a structural re-pricing that will leave the sidelined bears in total disbelief will happen when the 1,400-day range finally breaks. He suggested that the bulls can expect a parabolic rally rather than just a bounce. 
The analyst noted that the longer the base, the higher the space. He further remarked that while retail investors are chasing new coins, smart money is accumulating Litecoin, which is the “OG silver to Bitcoin’s gold.” Shah also affirmed that the “vertical expansion is a mathematical certainty at this point.” As to how LTC could rally, he predicted that the first stop could be a surge to $400, representing an 8x from current price levels. 
The Silver Narrative For LTC
In another X post, Shah doubled down on the silver narrative for Litecoin, pointing to the LTC/BTC ratio. He noted that LTC is currently trading at 0.00079 BTC, a level that has historically triggered “mean reversion” pumps. He added that the 1,400-day accumulation is not just a range but a total supply absorption, with strong hands taking coins from the “impatient.”
Shah also pointed to the positive divergence on the LTC/BTC chart, noting that the higher-timeframe RSI is signaling a reversal. He affirmed that the momentum is actually building higher lows, with the spring coiled to the limit. The analyst added that once Litecoin breaks the 0.0012 BTC resistance, there is no overhead supply until 0.006 BTC. 
At the time of writing, the Litecoin price is trading at around $54, up almost 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

A Quick Expansion, A Quicker Response
When the crypto exchange added the Rwandan franc to its peer-to-peer trading platform last Friday, it took the National Bank of Rwanda just two days to respond.
The central bank posted a firm warning on X on Sunday, telling the public that using the local currency to buy or sell crypto remains against the law.
&#8220;Crypto-assets are NOT authorized for payments, FRW conversion, or P2P trading involving FRW under the current framework,&#8221; the bank wrote.
Officials urged citizens to stay away from crypto, citing serious financial risks and no legal protection if money is lost.
Please be reminded that the Rwandan Franc (FRW) is the only legal tender in #Rwanda.
Crypto-assets are NOT authorized for payments, FRW conversion, or P2P trading involving FRW under the current framework.
The public is urged to avoid such transactions due to serious financial… https://t.co/elY0cht67h

Bybit had announced the addition on X, saying users could now use the Rwandan franc through its P2P service to trade for crypto. No statement has been issued by the exchange in response to the central bank&#8217;s warning.

Central Bank Draws A Hard Line On The Franc
The National Bank of Rwanda made its position plain in a second post on the same day. The franc, officials said, remains the country&#8217;s only legal currency. Licensed financial institutions in Rwanda are barred from converting the franc into crypto or the other way around.
That prohibition has been in place since 2018, when Rwanda first began restricting crypto activity — part of a broader effort to protect its financial system and keep control over how money moves inside its borders.
Rwanda is also building its own state-backed digital currency. The e-franc rwandais is currently in a proof-of-concept phase and could move into a pilot program. That project appears to be one reason authorities are drawing a sharp line between state-controlled digital money and private crypto platforms.
A Licensing Path May Still Open
The picture is not entirely closed for crypto operators in Rwanda. In March, the country&#8217;s Capital Market Authority released a draft bill that would create a legal path for virtual asset service providers to apply for licenses and operate under official supervision. The bill is still working its way through the legislature.
Under the proposed rules, crypto could not be used as legal tender. Mining operations and mixer services would be banned. So would any token tied to the Rwandan franc. But companies that meet the licensing requirements could, for the first time, legally offer services in the country.

A Long-Standing Crypto-Infiltration Saga
News and reports from the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea tend to have a particular conspiracy theory-action movie feel to them. However, they also have the tendency to be true and not over exaggerated at all.
This time, security researcher and MetaMask developer Taylor Monahan said on a Sunday post on the social network X that these methods date back to DeFi’s formative years, with actors linked to the DPRK quietly contributing to several major, widely used protocols.
Yuppppppp
Lots of DPRK IT Workers built the protocols you know and love, all the way back to defi summer
The “7 years blockchain dev experience” on their resume is not a lie. https://t.co/EQNgl5KhJ5
— Tay (@tayvano_) April 5, 2026
She claims that North Korean IT workers have quietly worked inside more than 40 DeFi projects over roughly seven years, including protocols that became household names after DeFi summer.
oh god uhhhh like sushi, thorchain, yam, pickle, harvest, reclaim, swing, paid, naos, shezmu, qrolli, saffron, sifu, napier, harmony, blueberry, stabble, onering, elemental, divvy, la token, impermax, kira, cook, fantom, ankr, gamerse, metaplay, spice, beanstalk, deltaprime,…
— Tay (@tayvano_) April 5, 2026
These workers often have “real” on‑chain experience (seven years of blockchain dev) but operate under stolen or synthetic identities, plugging into teams via normal hiring funnels
Her posts reply to tim, a pseudonymous builder and public face of Titan, a Solana‑based DEX aggregator and routing project, claiming that for a previous job they interviewed an extremely qualified candidate that turned out to be a Lazarus operative, the North-Korea affiliated group that has funneled billions of dollars in stolen money through cryptocurrency networks.
at a previous job, we interviewed someone who turned out to be a Lazarus operative. he did video calls and was extremely qualified
we invited him for in person interviews and he ultimately declined to fly out, so we passed
only later did we find his name in a Lazarus info dump… https://t.co/Vnvffrkjee
— tim | Titan (@timahhl) April 5, 2026
Renowned crypto detective ZachXBT also replied to tim’s post, explaining that this is not just “Lazarus” but a network of DPRK units (Lazarus, APT38, AppleJeus, etc.) coordinated by the Reconnaissance General Bureau and optimized for financial cybercrime. Their methods are based on “basic, relentless” outreach via LinkedIn, job boards, interviews, Zoom, plus remote dev roles that teams still grant far too easily.
Lazarus Group is the collective name for all DPRK state sponsored cyber actors.
The main issue is everyone groups them all together when the complexity of threats are different.
Threats via job postings, LinkedIn, email, Zoom, or interviews are basic and in no way… pic.twitter.com/NL8Jck5edN
— ZachXBT (@zachxbt) April 5, 2026
Recent U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctions and Chainalysis findings signal that DPRK IT networks generated $800 million in 2024 alone and have moved billions in stolen crypto since 2017, feeding weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and missile programs.
New Information On The Crypto-Hack On Drift Protocol
The April 1st $285 million attack on Drift Protocol reignited fears about insider threats from North Korea, especially after the protocol itself confirmed on Saturday that speculation linking the attack to North Korean hacking groups was right.
https://t.co/qYBMCup9i6
— Drift (@DriftProtocol) April 5, 2026
They attributed the attack “with medium confidence” to UNC4736, a North Korea–aligned, state‑sponsored hacking group.
The protocol claimed the attackers relied on a well elaborated social engineering strategy: fake professional personas, in‑person conference interactions, and booby‑trapped developer tooling to compromise contributors before finally executing the exploit. The attackers posed as a legitimate trading firm, met Drift contributors in person across several countries and used fully constructed identities with work histories and professional networks before triggering the exploit
The attackers weaponized common developer tooling by slipping malicious tasks into VS Code and Cursor configurations, delivering a compromised repository that contributors ran locally without realizing it. All these combined make the incident far more like an insider‑style supply‑chain compromise than a straightforward smart contract.
The day after the attack, Ledger CTO Charles Guillement linked the attack method to Bybit’s $1.4 billion hack, which was attributed to the regime’s cyber units. Then, on Friday, blockchain analytics firm Elliptic released an investigation claiming the on‑chain behavior, laundering methods, and network‑level indicators match the techniques seen in prior DPRK‑linked operations. Bitcoinist covered the story.
Market Implications
This saga crypto-hacking has turned into structural national‑security risk. Regulators and sanctions bodies are already tightening around DPRK IT networks, and more aggressive enforcement is likely to follow.
Large, state‑linked exploits create latent protocol risk: higher insurance premia, potential delistings, governance infighting over restitution, and longer risk‑off periods for DeFi tokens and perp volumes.

Korea’s New Asset‑Matching Regime Says Think Again</title><description><![CDATA[South Korea’s Financial Services Commission (FSC) is ordering all domestic crypto exchanges to implement near real‑time asset‑matching systems.
A Tighter Time-Regime For Crypto Exchanges
All Korean crypto exchanges must have a new asset-matching system by the end of May if they don’t want compliance problems, the financial regulator said this Monday. According to The Korea Times, exchanges must now switch from the 24‑hour reconciliation cycles that most major exchanges currently have to a uniform 5‑minute asset‑matching regime.
A time asset‑matching system is a software that constantly compares what an exchange says customers own on its internal ledger with the actual coins and cash it holds in wallets and bank accounts. In real‑time asset tracking, every few minutes the system reconciles user balances, order‑book positions, and margin with on‑chain and off‑chain reserves. If there is a mismatch beyond a set threshold, it can automatically trigger alerts or even a kill‑switch to halt deposits, withdrawals, or trading.
Regulators found that the existing kill switches of some of the major exchanges were also unreliable during large mismatches. This is why the FSC is also requiring that exchanges report their asset‑matching results on a daily basis, with additional independent reviews by accounting firms carried out every month.
Another Update To The Digital Asset Basic Act
This is the most aggressive tightening of operational rules since Korea’s first wave of virtual‑asset laws. Connected regulations will be integrated into a new bill designed to govern the broader virtual asset market, the Digital Asset Basic Act. The government and the ruling Democratic Party are currently refining the virtual‑asset legislation’s phase 2, The Korea Times claims.
The Framework Act on Digital Assets should have been on the National Policy Committee’s March 31st agenda, but the crypto act’s second phase debate was pushed until after the June 3 local elections.
A Recap On Bithumb’s “Ghost Bitcoin” Incident
This change of direction follows Bithumb’s “ghost Bitcoin” system error this past February, when an employee input “Bitcoin” instead of won in a promotional event, mistakenly crediting 620,000 BTC (roughly 13–15 times Bithumb’s actual reserves) to 249 users. This situation briefly crashed Bithumb’s BTC price, triggering liquidations and revealing that the exchange’s internal ledger allowed transfers far beyond real holdings.
Afterwards, Bithumb faced a 6-month partial business suspension and 36.8 billion won fine over serious AML/KYC breaches.
Korea is moving toward bank‑style liability and real‑time verification for exchanges. The question this shift poses is if this regime will become a template for other high‑volume markets, especially where regulators already talk about proof‑of‑reserves, stablecoin oversight, and exchange accountability.
Traders can expect tighter collateral rules, and potentially thinner short‑term liquidity on Korean venues, but also lower tail‑risk of “ghost” assets.
If Korea proves that 5‑minute matching and kill switches are workable at scale, global regulators may demand similar systems, turning the Bithumb saga into a baseline for centralized‑exchange risk control.

Therefore, the technical analysis is suggesting that the cryptocurrency is in an accumulation zone, one that is setting up a price move to as high as $20,000.
The Accumulation Blueprint Playing Out On ETH&#8217;s Weekly Chart
The weekly ETH/USDT chart posted by Crypto Patel on X illustrates a structured price pattern that has been developing since 2024. The chart identifies a Selling Climax (SC) in early 2024, followed by an Automatic Rally (AR) to resistance within two months, and then a Secondary Test (ST) of the Selling Climax in mid-2024. 
These are all terminologies of a Wyckoff blueprint, and this has created the sequence of price events that established the boundaries of the current trading range. There is a horizontal resistance line around $4,700 at the top of that range, while Support 1, at $1,549, represents the bottom.
There are also two notable downside wicks labeled as Spring 1 and Spring 2, both of which are situated around Support Spring 1, which occurred in mid-2025 and saw the Ethereum price fall below Support 1 very briefly before recovering and pushing back to a new all-time high just above the resistance line.
Since then, however, the Ethereum price has been on a downside path, and the current price action is labeled as Spring 2, which is just above Support 1. If Support 1 breaks down, the next intended buy zone is Support 2 at $1,065. It is within the projected fall to Support 2 where Crypto Patel identifies the $1,800 to $1,400 range as the best buying and accumulation zone.

Price Move To $20,000
The ETH accumulation map projects a price rally to as high as $20,000 after Ethereum breaks out of the accumulation zone. This rally is, however, contingent on a big resistance / breakout level around $4,700. 
Crypto Patel&#8217;s projected targets ($10,000, $15,000, and $20,000) are plotted on the chart as a staged upside trajectory extending into late 2027 and 2028. The projected rally shows a rally from the current accumulation zone to $4,700, a pullback below $4,000 to consolidate the breakout, and then a parabolic extension to new all-time highs as high as $10,000 before continuing higher to $15,000 and $20,000.
A $20,000 price target for Ethereum would represent about a 10x return from the current price, which is trading at $2,135, up by 4.8% in the past 24 hours.

The trend downward has been persistent, and now the price is already down by more than 50% from its 2025 highs. Even with this, it seems that the bears are not done with the cryptocurrency, and the formation of a premium Fair Value Gap (FVG) pushes the cryptocurrency deeper into the bear territory.
Mapping Out The Current XRP Trend
So far, it seems the XRP price is still stuck in a bearish structure, pseudonymous crypto analyst Quantitive Alpha shared in a TradingView post. This has been characterized by the XRP price putting in lower highs, as well as lower lows, suggesting that the downward trend is more powerful.
While this trend is important, there is also another development of interest that may have a significant impact on the XRP price as well. This is the premium FVG that could act as a magnet for the price, but eventually could be what sends XRP crashing even lower from here.
According to the crypto analyst, the XRP price could first move upward in a corrective move into this premium FVG gap. However, this would be in a bud to actually just rebalance the inefficiencies that have arose and then sweep Buy-Side Liquidity (BSL) at these levels.
Once this BSL is swept through, this is when the real move begins, because the next direction will determine whether the bears remain in control or if the bulls are able to eventually take over.
Why A Bearish Continuation Is Likely
According to the crypto analyst, the first move into the premium FVG is only a part of the broader move, which is still very bearish. Explaining how this could play out, the analyst says that once the imbalance is filled, then the price is likely to reverse again to continue the bearish trend.
This is because XRP will begin targeting the Sell-Side Liquidity (SSL) that lies lower than the current lows. Thus, this plays into a classic cycle of a digital asset initially moving toward taking whatever liquidity has pooled there, before moving back downward to continue its trend.
There is still a chance that the XRP price does flip bullish in the end, and this would be a sustained breakout of the premium FVG zone. This would eventually signal that the cryptocurrency has now shifted from bearish to bullish on the higher timeframe (HTF) structure.

This sluggish price action could be linked to the major DeFi exploit that rocked the ecosystem, causing the outflow of more than $270 million in value. According to the latest on-chain data, the Solana price could see even further pressure as exchange inflows spike.
$110 Million Of SOL Flow To Centralized Exchanges In 3 Days
In an April 4th post on the social media platform X, crypto analyst Ali Martinez shared that significant amounts of the Solana token have been moved to centralized exchanges over the past few days. This on-chain observation has caused a warning alarm to go off on the potential price trajectory of SOL, especially considering the already not-so-optimistic market climate.
The relevant indicator here is the Exchange Balance metric, which tracks the amount of a particular cryptocurrency available on centralized exchanges at a given time. This on-chain metric provides some level of insight into the current demand and supply dynamics in the crypto open market.
Hence, a rise in the value of this metric suggests that more market participants are sending assets to exchanges, which could imply that supply might be overwhelming the available demand. This trend could be bearish for an asset’s value (the Solana price, in this case), as it could be an indication of increasing selling pressure.
According to Glassnode data highlighted by Martinez, 1.40 million Solana, valued at approximately $110 million, were transferred to centralized exchanges in the last 72 hours. As inferred earlier, coin movements of this magnitude are often red flags in the market, as they could be a potential source of bearish pressure on price.
The rationale behind this conclusion is that one of the major services offered by centralized exchanges is a platform for investors and traders to offload their digital assets. Hence, this latest increase in the exchange inflow can be linked to a rise in selling pressure on the Solana price.
Solana Price At A Glance
Interestingly, the Solana price fell below the psychological $80 support after reaching the local high of around $85. As of this writing, the price of SOL stands at around $80.8, reflecting no significant change in the past 24 hours. According to data from CoinGecko, the altcoin’s value has been down by more than 3% in the past seven days.

Have Whales Resumed BTC Accumulation?
On Saturday, April 4, market pundit Ali Martinez took to the X platform to share that the Bitcoin whales have stepped into the market and seem to be in accumulation mode again. This fresh observation could be an indicator of improving investor sentiment and a potential starting point for BTC&#8217;s next positive phase.
This on-chain observation is based on the rise in the Santiment BTC Held By Whales metric, which tracks the cumulative amount of Bitcoin held by large wallet addresses (with a balance of 100 to 10,000+ BTC) at a given time. This indicator helps to gauge the sentiment among one of the most relevant groups of investors in the BTC market.
Due to the size of their holdings, whales are often considered entities that wield significant influence on the market. Hence, their behavior and movements are typically monitored and viewed as a leading indicator for market direction.
According to data shared by Martinez, the BTC Held By Whales metric recently saw a notable spike, with the large wallet addresses accumulating around 10,000 Bitcoin over the past three days. When Bitcoin whales are actively increasing their holdings, it suggests an upturn in market confidence and perhaps rising expectations of a price increase.
Ultimately, the return of the whales to the Bitcoin market is a good sign that suggests an improving investor sentiment, which could be the exact foundation for the flagship cryptocurrency&#8217;s next bullish trend.
Bitcoin Bearish Discussions Reach Highest Level Since February 2026
In a post on the X platform, Santiment shared an on-chain data point that supports the possibility of a bullish reversal for the Bitcoin price. According to the analytics firm, Bitcoin is witnessing the highest ratio of bearish discussions (fear) since late February.
Santiment wrote on X:
There has been an extended period of stagnancy among cryptocurrencies throughout 2026, and social media indicates that Saturday&#8217;s ratio of just 0.81 bullish comments per 1.00 bearish is the lowest ratio since February 28th.
While this trend suggests a lack of optimism among the Bitcoin crowd, it is worth noting that the market tends to move in the opposite direction of general expectations. In essence, this high level of FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt) could be indicating a potential BTC turnaround sooner than expected.
As of this writing, the price of BTC stands at around $67,400, reflecting an almost 1% jump in the past 24 hours.

The leading cryptocurrency has crossed a technical threshold in the Gaussian weekly uptrend that has appeared at the same stage of every prior market cycle, and according to one closely followed analyst, it may be pointing toward both a final dip to the bottom and the last discounted entry before the next bull run.
The Gaussian Channel Flip That Matters
In a technical update posted on X, ChartNerd pointed out that Bitcoin has flipped from its green Gaussian weekly uptrend into a red bearish channel, a transition he says has always opened the final stretch of every prior Bitcoin bear market.
According to the chart, which is shown below, each cycle follows a familiar sequence of a strong green expansion phase, a transition highlighted as a trend flip, and then a red bearish channel that leads into the final sweep. 
Examining the multi-year logarithmic Bitcoin weekly timeframe chart shows that the pattern is visible across the 2014/2015 cycle, the 2018/2019 bottom, and the 2022 cycle low. The current trend flip looks like those previous transitions, and this places Bitcoin once again at a point where the trend has always moved into bearish territory. 
According to ChartNerd, this signal has consistently appeared right before the last major downside move in past bear markets. This is why the analyst does not interpret the signal as the beginning of a prolonged collapse. However, it could be seen as a late-stage development, which shows the Bitcoin price is nearing a bottom.

The Path To The Bottom
Bitcoin is currently down by about 47% from its October 2025 peak price of $126,080. There is still a possibility of further downside from this point, but most of the structural damage to price has already occurred. ChartNerd&#8217;s current read places the projected final low somewhere in Q2 and Q3 2026, with a target sweep range between $40,000 and $50,000.
In another analysis post, ChartNerd noted that Bitcoin’s four-year cycle structure is still intact despite recent supercycle narratives and that the current market still operates within that structure.
Bitcoin Gaussian Channel. Source: @ChartNerdTA On X
The Gaussian Channel on the price chart shows that the Bitcoin price is on a path to test the channel&#8217;s red baseline at $66,895 on the 27-day timeframe, with the lower red support at $44,463. Each prior cycle saw a brief dip to or below that red support line. This means that the Bitcoin price may still face one more period of downside volatility to this range before reversing higher.

Japanese Gov&#8217;t Bonds Face Downturn Amid Macroeconomic Pressures 
According to XWIN Research Japan, yields on Japanese Government Bonds (JGBs) have been rising amid persistent inflationary pressures, expectations of policy normalization, and rising concerns over fiscal expansion. In response, there has been a corresponding fall in bond prices, indicating that Japan&#8217;s domestic institutions, e.g., banks, are simultaneously holding through heavy unrealized losses.
With approximately ¥390 trillion (approximately $2.6 trillion USD) currently invested in JGBs, even a modest 1% increase in yields could push tens of trillions of yen worth of holdings into negative territory, amplifying financial strain across the system.
Expectedly, this scenario has exerted significant pressure on institutional investors, forcing adjustments on their balance sheets. According to the crypto research group, risk assets, including Bitcoin, are the easy targets of this “rebalancing” activity. Considering that Japan maintains a large external investment portfolio, any liquidity withdrawal exhibits a signal effect on the market.
Therefore, this chain of rising yields, which leads eventually to liquidity contraction, often affects Bitcoin directly. Notably, historical patterns have suggested that low-rate environments often support price growth or expansions, while increasing rates typically impede the flagship cryptocurrency&#8217;s growth.
Stablecoin Supply Surges Toward Record Levels
Furthermore, XWIN Research Japan cites the All Stablecoins (ER20): Total Supply metric to report a significant growth in the available stablecoin supply. According to research analysts, this suggests that there is actually capital waiting on the sidelines. However, this available liquidity is clearly not being introduced into risk markets. 
Hence, it becomes apparent that Bitcoin is currently within a classic environment where liquidity exists, but is yet to be deployed. Interestingly, exchange flows also reveal that about $9.6 billion left the Bitcoin market in early 2026, with capital evidently rotating into stablecoins. These two conditions also contribute to weakened demand, as rising rates already cause demand to taper.
Therefore, until macroeconomic conditions improve, the Bitcoin price might continue to struggle in the long-term, as institutional demand might even then become weaker. As of this writing, Bitcoin is valued at $67,391, reflecting a positive daily shift of 0.76%. On larger time frames, the premier cryptocurrency reports a weekly gain of 1.34% and a monthly loss of 5.47%. With a market cap of $1.34 trillion, Bitcoin remains the world&#8217;s 13th largest asset and largest digital asset.

Meanwhile, retail investors continue to exit their holdings in line with historical capital flight behavior as seen in a typical market cycle. Interestingly, on-chain data shows a readiness for aggressive accumulation by the big market players despite the risk-off environment presently at play.

BWCI Rises To 75% As Bitcoin Whales Prepare For Rally
In a QuickTake post on April 4, market analyst GugaOnChain reports a massive stablecoin stash being accumulated to provide liquidity to the Bitcoin market despite ongoing geopolitical and macro uncertainty. This report is based on data from the Binance Whale Concentration Indicator (BWCI), which measures quality and concentration of capital flowing into Binance, specifically, whether that liquidity is dominated by large investors (whales) or smaller retail participants.
According to GugaOnChain, the USDT inflow on the exchange is presently nine times higher than it was at the Bitcoin all-time high of $126,100 in early October. On October 6, 2025, the BCWI stood at 8.25%, indicating that only a minor percentage of these capital inflows was attributed to large, strategic players, suggesting a market peak that was largely retail-driven.  However, the indicator reached 74.58% on April 4, proving that the current capital influx is coming from large market players.
The rise in institutional market dominance is also producing a bolstering effect on the derivatives market. This is because the BCWI also indicates that the growing USDT reserve is serving as collateral for an ongoing Open Interest expansion. At the time of the report, total USDT reserves on Binance were approximately valued at $3.50 billion, which GugaOnChain describes as &#8220;dry powder&#8221; that whales are presently deploying to establish credible supports in the spot and dictate movements in the derivative market.
Bitcoin Rebound Still Contingent On Risk Exhaustion
According to GugaOnChain, while the on-chain metrics indicate accumulation of buying power that could drive rallies, there are still other factors central to Bitcoin market recovery. One of these factors includes the current geopolitical risk, which the analyst states must reach an exhaustion point for any macro expansion to commence.
Furthermore, there is a need for Bitcoin ETF inflows to support this bullish microstructure with a corresponding rise in net deposits. With the absence of these catalysts, the rising amount of ready market liquidity would do little to prevent a further retrace to the present realized price of $54,000.  At press time, Bitcoin trades at $66,658.

Ripple President Drops Bombshell That Changes Everything</title><description><![CDATA[Ripple President Monica Long has highlighted decentralized identities as another area in which XRP could dominate. This came as she explained why these decentralized identities are a game-changer.
Ripple President Reveals Another Key Area For XRP
In an X post, crypto pundit John Squire drew attention to the Ripple President’s statement in which she noted that decentralized identities will enable users to take back control of their identities from web2 companies. With decentralized identities, individuals will be able to tokenize their identities on a network such as XRP Ledger (XRPL). 
Long noted that this tokenization will make these decentralized identities transportable and enable individuals to delegate access to whoever they want. John Squire described decentralized identities as a game-changer. He noted that individuals will be able to turn their identity, KYC, and even DNA into a private portable token on the XRP Ledger using zero-knowledge proofs. 
The pundit added that the decentralized identities will enable everyone to prove everything without revealing anything. The XRP Ledger is already making progress with zero-knowledge proofs as the network looks to provide privacy for network users. Crypto pundit Pumpius recently highlighted how the network has made history with the first-ever zero-knowledge (ZK) privacy transaction going live on the testnet. 
The pundit stated that the DNA Protocol was responsible for these ZK privacy transactions on the XRP Ledger. The protocol turned real-world data into a ZK proof, verified on-chain with zero sensitive information exposed. Pumpius added that with plans to implement ZK proof on the XRPL, banks, governments, and institutions can now confirm everything. This includes KYC, medical records, financials, and compliance, without ever seeing the actual data. 
ZK Technology Will Be A Game Changer On XRPL
Ripple’s Head of Research, Aanchal Malhotra, said that it will be great for the XRP Ledger to implement zero-knowledge technology. She noted that this will enable several use cases and that there are many innovative applications they can build with this technology. ZK technology will enable several privacy features, which would further attract institutions to the network. 
Crypto pundit Minus noted that ZK technology will enable privacy without sacrificing compliance. Furthermore, he said that this would lead to selective disclosure and “insane scalability.” That way, “Institutions can finally have their cake and eat it too,” he added. 
It is worth noting that the XRP Ledger is already moving to implement privacy features natively on the network, including Permissioned Domains, which enable institutions to restrict access to authorized users. The network has also enabled Confidential Multi-Purpose Tokens (Confidential MPTs), which hide the balances and transaction amounts. 
At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $1.31, down in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

The world&#8217;s largest stablecoin issuer is pushing ahead with a funding round that would price the company at $500 billion, a figure that would put it above some of the biggest names in American banking.
A Valuation That Dwarfs Its Own Product
That number is striking when held against Tether&#8217;s actual stablecoin market cap, which currently sits at around $184 billion. The gap between those two figures reflects what Tether is asking investors to believe — that the company&#8217;s future is worth far more than its present.
Reports indicate the company has ambitions well beyond issuing USDT, and that broader strategy is baked into the valuation.
At $500 billion, Tether would be worth more than JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, and Wells Fargo. That kind of comparison draws attention. It also raises questions that a two-week deadline leaves little time to answer.
The ultimatum is simple: enough investors sign on and the deal moves forward. If not, Tether may shelve the fundraising attempt again.
This Round Almost Never Happened
This is not the company&#8217;s first run at a major capital raise. An earlier attempt fell apart before it got off the ground. Early discussions reportedly floated a raise of anywhere from $15 billion to $20 billion — figures the company later walked back, calling them upper-end possibilities rather than firm targets.
By February 2026, advisers had reportedly pulled the target down to around $5 billion. Concerns about transparency and the $500 billion price tag had cooled some investor interest.
CEO Paolo Ardoino pushed back on that characterization at the time, saying demand from investors remained strong and that there was no pressure to rush.
Now, with the deadline set, the pressure is very much on.
Transparency Push Comes Amid Growing Competition
One move Tether made ahead of this round may carry more weight than the deadline itself. The company recently brought on a Big Four accounting firm to conduct its first full audit.
Based on reports, it could rank among the largest audits ever completed in the financial industry — a significant step for a company that has long faced scrutiny over how its reserves are managed.
The timing is not accidental. Signing a major auditor right before a high-stakes fundraise sends a message to potential investors about where the company is headed on transparency.
Meanwhile, competition in the stablecoin space is growing. PayPal, Circle, and a string of traditional financial firms have been expanding their own stablecoin efforts.
USDC, run by Circle, holds a market cap of around $32 billion — well behind USDT&#8217;s $184 billion, but closing ground. Tether&#8217;s dominance is real, but it is no longer uncontested.

Short-term momentum has weakened, but this area also serves as critical support that could trigger a strong reaction if defended. Despite the downside risk, the broader outlook still holds significant upside potential, with this level likely to decide the next major move.
Pressure Intensifies, SOL Structure Breaks 
SOL pressure is building, according to Marcus Corvinus, with recent price action reflecting a noticeable shift in momentum. Losing the key trendline signals that the bullish structure is beginning to weaken, raising concerns that sellers are gradually taking control of the market.
The $92–$95 zone previously acted as a strong area of defense, but this time, sellers stepped in with clear intent, rejecting prices from that region. That rejection has now pushed SOL down into the $75–$78 range, where the market is currently consolidating.
This level is more than just support; it represents a critical decision zone. Price is compressing here, and the market is essentially waiting for a catalyst. The reaction at this level will likely determine the next major move.
If buyers manage to defend this zone, a sharp upside reaction could follow, potentially triggering a quick bounce and even a short squeeze as trapped sellers are forced to cover. However, if this support fails to hold, downside pressure could accelerate quickly, with little structural support below. For now, sentiment appears heavy, with momentum gradually tilting away from the bulls, making this level one of the most important areas to watch.
Solana’s Classification As A Commodity Changes The Narrative
In an update, Crypto Patel highlighted that Solana has now been classified as a commodity, even while it remains about 77% below its all-time high. This places the asset in a unique position, still significantly discounted, yet gaining stronger recognition and positioning in the broader market.
The current situation draws comparisons to earlier cycles, where SOL experienced sharp drawdowns before staging massive recoveries. Reflecting on 2022, when prices dipped as low as around $8, the sentiment then was equally bearish. However, that move ultimately led to an explosive rally, with SOL proving its ability to rebound with over 2,000% gains from the bottom.
From a technical standpoint, the long-term chart shows that Solana is holding firmly within the Fibonacci golden zone on the 2-week timeframe. This area has historically acted as a strong accumulation region in past cycles. With this structure in place, the outlook remains a move toward $1,000 and beyond is not just speculation, but a matter of time if the broader trend continues to play out.

While some experts still see more downside ahead for BTC, this analyst predicts a massive surge back above $90,000. The analyst cites several catalysts, including Bitcoin price action and the Elliot Wave structure, to support his bullish outlook. 
Bitcoin Price Roadmap To $90,000
Rawl, a crypto market expert on X, has presented a new price analysis of Bitcoin, outlining in detail how the cryptocurrency can return to $90,000 and what traders should expect in the coming weeks and months. The analyst noted that, so far, Bitcoin has been following an expected plan, suggesting that the recent pullbacks, rebounds, and other price changes were normal reactions. 
He said that although the market’s timeline has been the only surprise, the cryptocurrency’s structure is what truly matters. Rawl stated that, following Bitcoin’s price crash to $60,000 in February, which marked its lowest level since its 2025 all-time high, the cryptocurrency needed two more waves to complete its corrective structure.
As expected, Bitcoin went on to form Wave 4 and Wave 5 in its Elliott Wave setup, completing the full corrective Wave C chart structure. He added that BTC’s previous pullback to $63,000 counted as one wave and officially confirmed the final downward move.  
Since then, Rawl noted that the market has rebounded, starting a new bullish Elliott Wave phase. In this fresh setup, the analyst stated that Bitcoin has already printed Wave 1 and Wave 2, with the market presently in a choppy range around $65,000 ahead of its next two waves to the upside. 
He explained that once these waves complete, Bitcoin could rise quickly toward $90,000 to $96,000. After hitting that level, he expects it to move sideways for a few weeks before declining again as it enters a new corrective ABC wave, likely around the time a new Federal Reserve chair replaces Jerome Powell. He described this correction as a bullish move, noting that it could persist until the upcoming FOMC meeting in June. 
The analyst noted that the price action following the FOMC could complete the first corrective Wave C, allowing the market to resume its uptrend. Alternatively, Bitcoin could drop one more time toward the $71,000 to $74,000 range, forming the next Wave 2 before a larger rally begins. 
Rawl confidently stated that Bitcoin has an 80% chance of reaching a new all-time high this year. He noted that the remaining 20% possibility suggests that price could rise to the $116,000 to $125,000 range below its current cycle top.   
Analyst Outlines Other Likely Path For Bitcoin Price
Although Rawl strongly believes in the roadmap he outlined above, he acknowledged that a less likely scenario is that Bitcoin could experience a deeper pullback between May and June, falling below $74,000 and possibly crashing to $55,000. 
Because of this risk, the analyst recommends taking profits of 20-30% around the $90,000 range, then gradually buying back 10-15% of that position if Bitcoin dips to $74,000, and the rest if the price falls to $55,000 in June or by Q1 2027. Regardless of what happens to Bitcoin, the analyst still believes the cryptocurrency could hit an all-time high afterward.

While price action still appears subdued, recent on-chain data suggests this period of consolidation could be signaling the formation of a market bottom.
Supply In Profit Drops To 11.3 Million BTC
In a Quicktake post on the CryptoQuant platform, on-chain analyst EgyHash put forward a somewhat optimistic outlook on the Bitcoin price, saying the flagship cryptocurrency might be forming a major cycle bottom. The relevant on-chain indicator here is the Supply in Profit Market Bands metric. 
As observed in the chart below, the blue area on the graph represents the Supply in Profit, while the green line marks the Bottom Discovery. 
According to EgyHash, the Supply in Profit has recently fallen to about 11.3 million BTC. This is after tearing through the Psychological Inflection (orange) and Liquidity Accumulation (purple) lines. 
More importantly, EgyHash noted that the Bitcoin Supply in Profit landed directly on the &#8220;Bottom Discovery&#8221; area. This particular band, according to the analyst, is where most Bitcoin short-term holders have been forced to turn over their holdings.
Historically, the Supply in Profit reading has only reached the green band during major bottoms of the Bitcoin cycle. The market quant cites the depths of the crypto winter in the 2018/2019 period as an example; the March 2020 liquidity crisis also features in this data, with the other instance being the late 2022 post-FTX capitulation. 
Notably, the expert also points out that the speed of the current transition is astounding. This is because the Bitcoin market moved quickly from the Overheated Zone to the Bottom Discovery within a single flush. 
EgyHash explained that this is a tell-tale sign that “Seller Exhaustion” has become the current state of affairs, with the “Mania” phase already long superseded.
Long-Term Holders Display Dominance As Sell Pressure Wanes
Typically, when the Supply in Profit reaches this significant base, it signals that long-term holders have taken the reins. This is the classic scenario where diamond hands absorb the supply of weaker hands. 
Nonetheless, the crypto pundit highlighted an important caveat, saying falling to the Bottom Discovery band &#8220;does not guarantee an immediate V-shaped recovery,” but that it instead signals a relatively high exhaustion of bearish risk. As such, market participants are advised to wait for further confirmation before making their move.
As of this writing, the Bitcoin price sits at approximately $66,901, reflecting no significant change in the past 24 hours.

They move when the money moves.
That was the key message from Kraken&#8217;s chief security officer, Nick Percoco, who told reporters that hacking activity in the crypto space tends to spike during bull markets, major product launches, and periods of rapid growth — not because of the calendar, but because those are the moments when the most value is concentrated in one place.
&#8220;Vulnerabilities can be exploited in any market environment,&#8221; Percoco said, warning that security in crypto has to be treated as an ongoing effort, not a seasonal one.
His comments came as new data showed a notable drop in crypto theft during the first three months of 2026. According to DefiLlama, hackers pulled $168 million from 34 decentralized finance protocols between January and March — a steep fall from the $1.58 billion stolen during the same period last year.
Private Keys And Smart Contracts Remain Weak Spots
That prior-year figure, however, was heavily skewed by a single incident: the $1.4 billion Bybit breach, which accounted for nearly the entire Q1 2025 total. Strip that out and the comparison looks less dramatic.
Still, the losses in early 2026 were far from small. The biggest hit came in January, when portfolio management platform Step Finance lost $40 million after attackers compromised its private keys.
Days later, on Jan. 8, decentralized protocol Truebit was drained of $26.4 million worth of ether through a smart contract manipulation. A third major incident struck stablecoin issuer Resolv Labs in late March, also through a private key compromise — the same method used in the Step Finance attack.
Private key failures and code exploits are two very different problems, but both keep appearing in the data. One is a human and operational issue. The other is a code issue. Neither has been solved.
North Korea-Linked Groups Remain A Persistent Concern
Data shows that 34 separate DeFi protocols were hit across the quarter. The attacks were spread across the period, with January bearing the heaviest losses.
Percoco described the threat pool as a mix of highly coordinated groups, organized criminal networks, and opportunistic individuals scanning for weak points in smart contracts and user-facing systems.
North Korea-linked actors have been flagged repeatedly in connection with major crypto thefts. Suspected affiliates of that network were linked to an attack on decentralized exchange Drift Protocol, which lost an estimated $285 million to a private key leak.

According to market analyst GugaOnChain, underlying market activities suggest the digital asset is experiencing a complex phase and divergence marked by a growing divide between tightening on-chain supply and rising macroeconomic uncertainty.
Bitcoin Bullish Signals: On-Chain Scarcity And Quiet Accumulation
In a QuickTake post on April 3, GugaOnChain highlights a series of structural shifts beneath the recent Bitcoin price action. The analyst shares on-chain data showing that approximately 66,300 BTC, worth about $4.44 billion, has been withdrawn from exchanges over the past month. This kind of trend is indicative of a move toward long-term storage, thereby reducing the amount of Bitcoin readily available for sale and contributing to a supply-side squeeze.
Furthermore, Over The Counter (OTC) transactions have accounted for 92.1% of Bitcoin’s recent trading volume, i.e., $16.49 billion, compared to just 7.9% on public order books. This is another bullish development pointing to quiet institutional accumulation and growing BTC scarcity. In contrast, retail investors continue to exit the market as data shows realized losses totaling approximately $690 million within 24 hours, a sign of capitulation that often accompanies late-stage corrections. However, such behavior, combined with smart money accumulation, has historically preceded local price bottoms because weaker hands exit the market, effectively reducing selling pressure.
The Uncertain Macroeconomic Clouds
Despite the supply shock being created, Bitcoin remains heavily subject to external macroeconomic factors. These include global liquidity conditions, interest rate decisions, and geopolitical tensions, which are all capable of triggering abrupt market reactions that may override bullish supply dynamics. In this environment, the use of the Top 5 Exchange Whale Inflow is a critical monitoring tool that shows the real-time response of these big-time players to macro shocks.
Amid heightened geopolitical risks, as recently seen in the US-Iran-Israel war, monitoring inflows to major exchanges such as Binance (to assess global demand) and Coinbase (to ascertain US investors&#8217; interest) is an efficient way of identifying potential sell-offs or flash crashes. For context, the seven-day average of the Top 5 exchange whale inflows currently stands at 16,551 BTC. Any sharp increase in this metric will reflect a shift from accumulation to liquidity-seeking behavior and precede any price fall.
At the time of writing, Bitcoin trades at $66,889 following a 1.36% gain in the past week. Meanwhile, daily trading volume is down by 41.68% and valued at $22.91 billion. Notably, Bitcoin’s risk-reward profile remains favorable as retail selling pressure has largely been exhausted, suggesting a potential local bottom could form soon. However, an increase in the probability of a left-fail suggests that any sharp drop could have severe effects, thus putting the market in a delicate position.

The premier cryptocurrency has struggled to stay afloat after hitting a roadblock at the $69,000 resistance level earlier in the week. The latest on-chain data has shown that the price of Bitcoin might be reaching a bottom already.
Is BTC Accumulation Period About To Resume?
In an April 3rd post on the social media platform X, Alphractal co-founder and CEO Joao Wedson revealed that Bitcoin is starting to become less overvalued. This on-chain observation is based on the RVTS (Realized Value/Transaction Volume) Ratio, which tracks the relationship between market capitalization and the network’s adjusted economic value.
According to Wedson, a rise in this metric’s value could imply a rise in the flagship cryptocurrency’s realized value. At the same time, an increasing RVTS Ratio can also be a signal of a decline in activity or transaction volume on the Bitcoin network.
Highlighting data from Alphractal, the crypto founder shared that the RVTS Ratio just reached its highest level ever, potentially pointing to the lowest network utilization in the history of the premier cryptocurrency. 
Wedson wrote on X:
In previous cycles, these extremes appeared near cycle bottoms or low-participation zones, when volume collapses, and the network becomes “silent.” When the indicator rises, adjusted economic volume declines, network usage weakens, and the denominator collapses, a pattern consistently seen around major cycle bottoms (2012, 2015, 2019, 2022) and local bottoms within broader structures.
According to the Alphractal CEO, this record level of the RVTS Ratio indicates less overvaluation and more structural apathy in a Bitcoin market increasingly being steered by liquidity and derivatives. From a historical perspective, this signal often precedes periods of accumulation and revaluation. 
In essence, this record-high level of the RVTS Ratio could be the bright spark of optimism the Bitcoin price needs to start its turnaround. Conversations have heightened around the market leader’s potential bottom, as it continues to oscillate within the $65,000 &#8211; $70,000 consolidation range.
Bitcoin Price At A Glance
As of this writing, the price of BTC stands at around $66,880, reflecting no significant change in the past 24 hours. While the market leader is down from its weekly high of over $69,000, it is still in a better place (nearly 2% up) than it was seven days ago.

Interestingly, on-chain data shows these funds are transforming into key structural components of the Bitcoin market, moving beyond just investment vehicles.
Bitcoin ETF Adoption Redefines Market Dynamics
The US Bitcoin Spot ETFs were launched in January 2024, marking a historic moment for institutional participation in the digital asset market. These funds have turned out to be a monumental success, attracting a present cumulative total net inflow of $55.96 billion and net assets of $86.22 billion, accounting for 6.44% of the current BTC market cap.  In a QuickTake post on April 3, market analysis page XWIN Research Japan explains that the growth of the Bitcoin ETFs market is allowing these investment products to influence key market aspects such as liquidity and price discovery.
For context, the average daily trading volume of the Bitcoin Spot ETFs is estimated to be in the multi-billion dollar range, with BlackRock&#8217;s IBIT intermittently experiencing levels similar to the Coinbase exchange. This observation suggests that these investment funds now play a major role in price discovery, which has been historically tied to trading volume observed on the centralized exchanges. Meanwhile, the net assets of 1.3 million BTC represent more than just inflows. XWIN Research Japan describes this development as a structural supply lock, reducing BTC liquidity in active circulation.
In particular, these changing dynamics have been attributed to the constant efforts by authorized sponsors to arbitrage price gaps as well as the approval of in-kind creation/redemption, thus ensuring that ETFs reflect spot market price and showcase a capital efficiency that encourages continued institutional adoption.
Bitcoin ETFs In Japan?
Meanwhile, XWIN Research Japan also highlighted the potential role of Japanese investors in expanding the Bitcoin ETFs market influence. With over ¥2,000 trillion ($12.53 billion) in household assets, even small allocations to a potential  Bitcoin spot ETF market would result in significant inflows capable of altering the demand-supply market.
At press time, Bitcoin trades at $66,889 following a minor 1.14% gain over the last week. Meanwhile, daily trading volume is down by 41.68%, suggesting that market participants remain largely apprehensive despite recent gains. Over the last week, the premier cryptocurrency maintained a price range of $66,000-$69,000, amid multiple retest attempts of the lower boundary zone. The bear market remains active with present spot prices still about 47% away from the cycle&#8217;s all-time high at $126,100.

Taiwan Approves $6M Fines To Combat Crypto Fraud
On Friday, local news outlets reported that the Executive Yuan passed the draft of the Virtual Asset Service Act (VASA) on April 2, marking a major step to regulate crypto assets in Taiwan.
The VASA, introduced by the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) last year, supports the efforts by Taiwanese authorities to establish a comprehensive crypto framework for Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs) and stablecoin issuers.
In 2024, the FSC overhauled its Anti-Money Laundering (AML) framework to include crypto businesses, adding stricter AML guidelines for VASPs and requiring all digital asset firms to complete the AML registration by September 2025.
Premier Cho Jung-tai explained that the new framework, which will be implemented in four gradual phases, includes industry self-regulation and an AML compliance registration system. The measures aim to enhance the security of virtual asset transactions, pilot custody services, and support the growth of domestic financial innovation, he added.
According to the reports, the draft requires VASPs to operate exclusively in this field and meet specific standards for their company name, organizational structure, and capital. Financial institutions can also operate VASP services in addition to their other businesses, if approved.
In addition, special regulations would be customized to suit the nature of each service provider. For instance, trading platforms would be required to establish clear guidelines for listing and delisting virtual assets.
The draft also includes heavy penalties for unlicensed and fraudulent activities, with offences involving crypto falsification, concealment, or price manipulation risking 3-10 years in prison and fines of up to NTD 200 million, worth $6.25 million.
Meanwhile, firms that issue stablecoins without a license could face up to seven years in prison and fines of up to NTD 100 million, or about $3.13 million, according to the draft.
New Stablecoin Regulations To Prohibit Interest Payments
Officials outlined the main differences between the recently passed VASA draft and the FSC’s original text regarding stablecoin guidelines, which include issuance and redemption regulations, restrictions on interest or returns, and internal control and cybersecurity management.
Under the new draft, the issuance and redemption of stablecoins must be conducted at face value, and issuers may not refuse redemption requests from holders. Issuers are also prohibited from paying interest or returns to holders on the stablecoins they issue, aligning with international trends.
Lastly, issuers must establish and maintain robust internal control and audit systems, along with information security management mechanisms, to ensure the proper issuance and redemption of stablecoins.
FSC Deputy Chairman Chen Yen-liang asserted that stablecoin issuance is not currently limited to banks, but noted that the financial institutions are “generally better positioned to meet the relevant requirements” due to their capital strength and risk management capabilities.
For other operators, different capital thresholds and operating guarantee requirements would be set based on the nature of their business, with further details to be announced after the legislation officially passes.
In December, FSC Chairman Peng Jin-long revealed that the island’s first regulated stablecoin could debut this year. As reported by Bitcoinist, stablecoin-centered regulations would be developed within six months after the VASA&#8217;s approval, setting the launch of locally issued tokens pegged to the NTD or the USD to the second half of 2026.
Deputy Chairman Chen added that the regulator would adopt a “gradual opening” model, and relevant regulations would be developed by authorities alongside the Central Bank.

The analysis, released on social media platform X on Friday, chronicles multiple high‑profile decentralized finance (DeFi) exploits in which Circle allegedly failed to use its on‑chain freezing and blacklist capabilities to halt the flow of stolen funds.
Alleged Inaction By Circle
Circle’s token contract includes an explicit freeze/blacklist function, and the company’s terms of service reserve the right to restrict access for suspected illicit actors “in its sole discretion.” 
Yet, ZachXBT’s report claims that in many widely reported thefts and hacks, the issuer either delayed action or did not freeze funds at all, allowing attackers to move large sums across blockchains and convert them into other assets.
The report opens with the April 1, 2026, Drift Protocol exploit, in which the attacker drained roughly $280 million. According to ZachXBT, the thief used Circle’s Cross‑Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP) to bridge more than 232 million USDC from Solana (SOL) to Ethereum (ETH) in over 100 transactions.
The incident had ripple effects across the Solana ecosystem, indirectly impacting more than 10 DeFi projects. Despite the funds moving through Circle’s native bridge for hours, the report says no USDC was frozen during the laundering.
ZachXBT also details a January 25, 2026, attack on SwapNet that resulted in $16 million being stolen. Roughly $3 million in USDC remained in the exploiter’s address for two days. Both law enforcement and private‑sector analysts reportedly submitted temporary freeze requests to Circle for that address, but Circle did not act. 
Nine‑Figure Losses In Crypto Hacks
Among several other cases cited in the report, ZachXBT also points to broader, long‑running patterns. In April 2024, he published a separate investigation into the Lazarus Group laundering that traced funds from more than two dozen hacks being converted to fiat. 
Law enforcement requested freezes from four stablecoin issuers — Circle, Tether, Paxos, and Techteryx — for two addresses tied to that investigation. The report claims the other three issuers acted quickly, while Circle took approximately 4.5 months longer to freeze the same addresses.
Taken together, ZachXBT says these cases — many of them public and high‑value — add up to nine‑figure losses to the crypto ecosystem caused by repeated inaction over a multi‑year period. 
He stresses that the $420 million-plus figure covers only major public incidents and that the true total could be substantially higher. The overarching claim is that Circle possesses the contractual and technical tools to intervene, yet has not used them consistently or promptly, with concrete harm to victims and the broader community.
“They have every tool and resource available to do better. They just haven&#8217;t,” he writes, closing his report with a pointed question: who, exactly, is Circle serving?

USDC Exchange Inflow Has Hit The Highest Level In Months
As highlighted by CryptoQuant community analyst Maartunn in a new post on X, the Exchange Inflow recently observed a surge for Circle&#8217;s stablecoin, USDC. The &#8220;Exchange Inflow&#8221; here is an indicator that keeps track of the total amount of a given asset that&#8217;s being transferred to wallets connected to centralized exchanges.
Generally, one of the main reasons why investors deposit their tokens to these platforms is for selling-related purposes, so a spike in the metric can indicate elevated demand for swapping the cryptocurrency. In the case of assets like Bitcoin, this can naturally have a bearish effect on the price.
For a stablecoin like USDC, however, there is no such effect as its price is by definition stable around the $1 mark. That said, exchange inflows related to the asset can still matter for the wider sector.
Often, investors stash their capital away in the form of these fiat-tied tokens when they want to wait for an opportune moment to enter the volatile side. Once traders feel that the time is right, they deposit their stablecoins to exchanges, swapping them for Bitcoin or any digital asset of their choice. This shifting can naturally provide a buying boost to the target cryptocurrency.
As the chart below, shared by Maartunn, shows, the USDC Exchange Inflow has observed a massive spike during the past day, implying exchanges have received a large amount of the stablecoin.
The latest deposit spree has seen the inflow of 778,566,191.65 USDC, the largest level since September 2025. Back then, the large spike led into Bitcoin&#8217;s run to the new all-time high (ATH) above $126,000 in early October. It now remains to be seen whether the new surge in the indicator is a sign of market buying.
Since stablecoins are often used for injecting capital into the volatile side of the sector, their supply is considered as a measure of the sector&#8217;s liquidity waiting on the sidelines. An indicator called the Stablecoin Supply Ratio (SSR) compares the market cap of Bitcoin against this liquidity to estimate how much room the cryptocurrency might have to grow.
As the analyst pointed out in another X post, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) of the BTC SSR has declined into the green zone recently.
Based on the trend, Maartunn explained, &#8220;There is still a large amount of stablecoin liquidity relative to Bitcoin’s market cap, suggesting buying power remains on the sidelines.&#8221;
BTC Price
At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading around $66,600, up 1% over the last 24 hours.

A Two-Track Approach To Bitcoin Accumulation
The company operates what it calls a Bitcoin Income Generation business, a ring-fenced portfolio that uses collateral-secured options contracts to produce income. Once those option cycles close out, the returns can be converted into direct Bitcoin purchases and added to the firm&#8217;s long-term holdings.
Based on company filings dated April 2, trailing 12-month revenue from that segment reached roughly $71.5 million when combined with full-year 2025 figures of nearly $54 million.
That income engine ran alongside a significant buying spree. Metaplanet acquired 5,075 Bitcoin in Q1 at an average price of roughly $79,898 per coin, spending about $405 million in total.
During Q1 2026, Metaplanet acquired 5075 BTC for $405.48 million at ~$79,898 per bitcoin and has achieved BTC Yield of 2.8% YTD 2026. As of 03/31/2026, we hold 40,177 $BTC acquired for ~$4.18 billion at ~$104,106 per bitcoin. $MPJPY $MTPLF pic.twitter.com/IMxC3lwYCx
— Simon Gerovich (@gerovich) April 2, 2026
The purchases pushed its cumulative holdings to 40,177 Bitcoin — enough to rank it as the third-largest publicly traded Bitcoin treasury in the world, according to Bitcoin Treasuries data.
Metaplanet Chief executive Simon Gerovich shared the figures in investor materials, reporting a year-to-date BTC Yield of 2.8% for 2026. That metric tracks how Bitcoin holdings grow on a per-share basis. It does not measure income.
Cost Basis Sits Well Above Current Market Price
The firm&#8217;s average acquisition cost across its entire holdings stands at $104,106 per coin, according to the same materials. With Bitcoin trading around $66,550 at the time of the announcement, the company&#8217;s treasury carries a substantial gap between what it paid and what those coins are worth on the open market today.
Despite the headline acquisition numbers, the market response was muted. Metaplanet shares fell almost 2% on Thursday to $302, down from $308 the day before, data from Yahoo Finance shows. Annual revenue and operating profit forecasts were left unchanged from guidance issued in January.
Rival Firm Exited Metaplanet Stake At A Loss
Elsewhere in the listed Bitcoin vehicle space, Nakamoto disclosed Wednesday that it unloaded 284 Bitcoin for $20 million in March and unwound a significant portion of its stake in Metaplanet at a loss during the first quarter. The move underlines how exposed these corporate treasury strategies are to price swings in a volatile asset class.
Metaplanet has not changed its full-year outlook for the period ending December 31, 2026, and continues to pursue both sides of its strategy — accumulating Bitcoin for the long term while using options to keep fresh capital moving into the treasury.

Daily active addresses have climbed back above 200,000, the number of daily transactions has set an all-time record, and the ledger&#8217;s total wallet count recently breached a threshold not seen in its 13-year existence. 
On the other hand, the XRP&#8217;s price, currently trading around $1.31, has declined for six consecutive months. However, the surge in on-chain activity may be laying the foundation for a move that price has yet to reflect.
Active Addresses And Transactions Numbers At Peaks
Recent data from XRPScan shows daily active users, measured by addresses carrying SourceTag and DestinationTag activity, have climbed back above 200,000, a level that has always been associated with periods of increased market participation. 
The six-month chart shows that the metric has held largely between 100,000 and 180,000 since October 2025, with periodic spikes above the upper threshold. The timing matters because the surge arrives in a period where price action has been relatively unstable in terms of bullish momentum.
What this means is that the spike in active addresses is not based purely on a breakout rally. Instead, it points to usage of the Ledger picking up independently, whether through transfers, exchange flows, or institutional-related activity on the network.
At the same time, transaction throughput has reached a milestone of its own. The XRP Ledger recently recorded over 4 million successful transactions in a single day for the first time in over two years, reaching as high as 4.49 million transactions on April 2.
The chart shows a steady climb in transaction activity since late December, with higher highs forming into February and March. Even when pullbacks occurred, the baseline level of transactions remained above 2 million, which is another sign of sustained usage and activity on the Ledger. That persistence in activity ties in with the network recently surpassing 7.7 million non-empty wallets for the first time in its 13-plus year history.
Will Price Catch Up To The Surge In Network Activity?
The current disconnect between on-chain strength and price performance is very glaring. Increases in active addresses and transaction counts have sometimes preceded larger price moves, but the relationship is not always immediate.
XRP has not closed a monthly candle in the green since September 2025, with six consecutive red months bringing the price to $1.31 and approaching another support at $1.28. Billions of dollars worth of XRP have also left exchanges in recent weeks, with a notable example being $11.4 billion worth of XRP leaving Binance.
Although activity alone does not guarantee a rally, what is clear, however, is that XRP is no longer dealing with weak on-chain fundamentals. The network is active, growing, and processing huge numbers of daily transactions, and this usage could translate into price growth in the coming weeks and months.

The Signal Is Hard to Ignore</title><description><![CDATA[Ethereum is trying to hold $2,000. The market is coiling for a significant move. And the organization that has been selling this asset for months has just changed what it is doing with its ETH.
Data from Arkham Intelligence has confirmed a behavioral shift at the Ethereum Foundation that the market has been waiting for without knowing it was waiting: the Foundation has stopped selling ETH and has started staking it. That sentence requires context to carry its full weight.
For much of the past several months, the Ethereum Foundation&#8217;s periodic ETH sales represented one of the most psychologically damaging overhangs in the market. Each confirmed sell transaction from the Foundation&#8217;s wallets arrived as a signal from the inside — the organization that created Ethereum, that understands its technology more deeply than any outside participant, choosing to convert its holdings into cash. The market interpreted those sales as institutional doubt expressed in the most credible possible form. Price suffered accordingly.
That chapter appears to be closing. Staking is the opposite of selling in every meaningful sense. It is locking, committing, removing from circulation, and earning yield on the conviction that Ethereum&#8217;s future justifies the commitment. The Foundation is no longer exiting. It is embedding itself deeper.
This Is No Longer a One-Time Decision
Arkham&#8217;s on-chain data documents the specific transaction that makes the behavioral shift concrete: the Ethereum Foundation has staked an additional $46.64 million in ETH, bringing its total staked position to $96.59 million. That cumulative figure is the number that matters most — not because of its size relative to the Foundation&#8217;s total treasury, but because of what it represents as a repeated, deliberate, escalating commitment.
A single staking transaction can be dismissed as treasury optimization. Two transactions totaling nearly $100 million cannot. The Foundation has now made the same decision twice, in the same direction, at a price level that the broader market has treated as fragile support. Each transaction is a vote. The second vote confirms the first was not an anomaly.
The supply consequence is direct and permanent for the duration of the stake. $96.59 million in ETH now sits in staking contracts — unavailable for sale, removed from the liquid float, contributing nothing to the sell-side pressure that has weighed on the $2,000 level for weeks. The Foundation&#8217;s previous selling added to that pressure. Its current staking position actively reduces it.
The organization that built Ethereum has now committed nearly $100 million to its own protocol at exactly the moment the market is deciding whether $2,000 holds. That timing is not incidental. It is a statement.

Ethereum Tests Long-Term Support as Weekly Structure Weakens
Ethereum’s weekly structure shows a market at an inflection point, not in a confirmed breakdown. Price is currently holding near $2,060, sitting just above the 200-week moving average — a level that has historically acted as a long-term trend boundary. That positioning matters. Unlike lower timeframes, this is where structural bull and bear regimes are defined.
The rejection from the $4,000–$4,500 region established a clear lower high, breaking the sequence of higher highs that defined the prior expansion phase. Since then, Ethereum has retraced sharply, losing the 50-week and 100-week moving averages, both of which are now flattening and beginning to roll over. That shift signals weakening momentum, but not yet a completed trend reversal.
The key issue is follow-through. The recent bounce off sub-$2,000 levels has not been strong enough to reclaim the 100-week average decisively. Without that, price remains vulnerable to another test of the 200-week level.
Volume does not show aggressive accumulation at current levels. That absence raises a question: is this a structural defense or a temporary pause?
If $2,000 fails on a weekly basis, the next meaningful support sits significantly lower. If it holds, Ethereum remains in a contested but still salvageable long-term structure.

While SWIFT remains one of the leading payment firms in the world, rumors are that the company might be supported by XRPL infrastructure.
SWIFT Might Be Integrating XRP Ledger Infrastructure
SWIFT, an open global standard for financial information, is now in the spotlight as speculations are starting to swell across the market regarding the company’s inner workings. This is centered around a possible integration or relationship between SWIFT and the XRP Ledger (XRPL).
Over time, SWIFT has been hailed for its fast processing time and execution, but some analysts are starting to suggest the possibility of the XRP Ledger currently playing a role behind the scenes. Pumpius, a crypto commentator, highlighted on X that SWIFT could be secretly using the Ledger at the backend.
Even though no formal confirmation has been made, the notion that a major traditional financial messaging company might covertly access blockchain technology underscores the notable growth of the blockchain sector. The multiple partnerships between big financial institutions and Ripple Labs are reinforcing this rumor.
According to Pumpius, 36 out of the 50+ banks on SWIFT’s new retail cross-border payments list are already in partnership with leading payment firm Ripple. In addition, SWIFT has recently made announcements regarding Ripple Treasury as an official part of its Certified Partner Program.
As outlined by City of London banker Lord Belgrave in a strategy meeting with major banks, Ripple and the XRP Ledger were freely discussed as powering the underlying tech for cross-border payments of the next generation.
SWIFT’s frontend, which handles the customer interface, branding, and compliance, remains with each respective bank or financial institution. However, the backend is allegedly anchored on the Ledger, which is believed to be doing all the heavy tasks behind the scenes. If such a link were to exist, it might represent a major advancement in the merging of decentralized technology with legacy finance.
Pumpius stated that this architecture has been quietly building underneath the surface for years, but the recent announcement from SWIFT brought it to the notice of the public and the crypto sector. 
The Token To Take Over Global Finance
With a growing role in finance, Pumpius has shared a few key points from Ripple CTO Emeritus David Schwartz on why XRP will take over global finance and outpace stablecoins. As the sector evolves, the CTO claims that banks will choose XRP over stablecoins.
One of the reasons is that stablecoins are stable to one currency, futile for global deals across borders. Also, issuers like court orders and politics can freeze or seize them anytime. Lastly, unlike stablecoins, XRP’s price can grow and offer investors real upside potential.
The altcoin is purely decentralized, offers lightning-fast atomic settlement, and has near-zero fees. Other key factors include liquidity sourcing and bridge asset design, high scalability and energy efficiency, escrow functionality, etc. In search of true freedom, speed, and future value in the sector, the altcoin is one of the best bets.

However, a crypto analyst has suggested that this might change soon. The analyst has identified a critical sell wall on the Dogecoin chart that, if broken, could trigger a major trend shift and provide enough momentum for the meme coin to pump higher. 
Dogecoin Could Rally If Sell Wall Breaks
Crypto market analyst CW has highlighted a major sell wall around the $0.09 that could determine Dogecoin’s next bullish move. In an X post on Wednesday, the analyst noted that Dogecoin is already preparing to break through this key area, as its price tests $0.09 and holds this support level firmly. 
According to the analyst, if DOGE can push past this current support zone with strength, there may be no other resistance level strong enough to hold the meme coin until around $1.12. This means that CW expects the DOGE price to rise quickly toward this new high, representing a staggering increase of more than 1,144% from $0.09.  
The market expert noted that this price surge could come with a bullish trend reversal, likely confirming the end of Dogecoin’s prolonged downtrend. Notably, the analyst’s chart shows that the meme coin has been trading sideways within a descending channel since its price surge in September 2025. 
After rallying above the $0.25 area, Dogecoin has moved downward, previously crashing to this same critical support zone around $0.09 during the devastating October 2025 liquidation event. Although the meme coin rose back to normal levels, it remained range-bound inside this descending channel. With price showing strong breakout signals, CW has stated that once Dogecoin rises above this channel, its next major uptrend could begin in days. 
DOGE Breakdown Remains The Less Likely Scenario
In a separate X post, market analyst Osemka shared a price chart showing Dogecoin hovering around $0.09. He noted that the meme coin is currently trading in a tight range, with the price stuck between support and resistance. According to him, this behavior cannot last forever, suggesting that the DOGE price could soon make a strong move either upward or downward to break the critical area. 
Based on his chart analysis, Osemka appears cautiously bullish on Dogecoin. He said it would be a “little miracle” for Dogecoin to break downward, suggesting the more likely scenario is a strong rise above $0.09 soon. If this happens, it could completely invalidate DOGE’s bearish outlook and possibly trigger its next trend shift to the upside. 
As of now, the market is cautiously watching as DOGE trades around $0.091 at the time of writing, still trapped below both the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and the descending channel.

Discover How Long the Bleeding Lasts</title><description><![CDATA[Bitcoin is struggling to hold above $70,000. Days of trying to defend $65,000 have given way to a fragile recovery that the market does not yet trust. A top CryptoQuant analyst has identified the structural reason why — and it has nothing to do with sentiment, ETF flows, or macroeconomic headlines.
The culprit is in the mining data. A CryptoQuant analysis examining the relationship between Miner Selling Power and Bitcoin&#8217;s price has identified a decoupling that began in the second half of 2025 and has been widening ever since. Historically, the two indicators moved in correlation — when Bitcoin price rose, miners&#8217; selling power declined as profitability improved, and vice versa. That relationship has broken down entirely.
What the chart now shows is a divergence that runs in the wrong direction: Miner Selling Power is sharply rising while Bitcoin&#8217;s price falls. The miners who are supposed to benefit from a recovery are instead increasing their selling activity into weakness. That is not profit-taking. That is survival.
The connection to the stagnant hashrate data is direct and confirming. Miners are not expanding. They are not holding. They are selling — not because the market is giving them a reason to, but because the alternative is shutting down.
This Is Not Capitulation. It Is Something More Dangerous
The report&#8217;s conclusion reframes what is happening in the mining industry in a way that changes how the current Bitcoin market should be read. The word capitulation implies a single event — a moment of peak pain where the last forced sellers exit simultaneously, clearing the market and establishing a floor. What the Miner Selling Power data describes is not that. It is a continuous, sustained, survival-driven unloading that has no defined endpoint because its trigger is not sentiment — it is the ongoing gap between operating costs and revenue.
Miners facing a harsh profitability winter do not sell because they have lost conviction in Bitcoin. They sell because electricity bills, hardware maintenance, and facility costs arrive on a schedule that the Bitcoin price does not respect. Every week that production costs exceed mining revenue is another week of forced selling — regardless of where price stands, regardless of what the chart suggests, regardless of what the broader market is doing.
That persistence is what makes the current overhead so structurally significant. It is not a wall of supply waiting for the right price to clear. It is a drip of forced selling that the market must absorb continuously before any sustained upside can develop.
The analyst&#8217;s forward position is stated without ambiguity: upside potential remains limited until these survival-driven sell-offs are fully absorbed. Until that absorption is confirmed in the data, the conservative perspective is not caution — it is the only analytically defensible posture available.
Bitcoin Stalls Below Resistance as Downtrend Persists
Bitcoin is trading near $66,800, continuing to consolidate after the sharp February breakdown that disrupted its prior bullish structure. The chart shows a clear shift in trend, with price moving from a series of higher highs into a pattern of lower highs and lower lows, confirming sustained bearish pressure.
Following the capitulation event — marked by a significant spike in volume — BTC entered a range between approximately $62,000 and $72,000. Since then, price action has remained contained within this zone, but with a noticeable bias toward the lower end, suggesting weakening demand.
The 50-day and 100-day moving averages are both trending downward above price, acting as dynamic resistance and limiting any recovery attempts. The 200-day moving average remains far above current levels, reinforcing the broader structural shift from expansion to correction.
Recent rallies toward the $70,000–$72,000 region have consistently failed, producing lower highs and indicating that sellers are still active on strength. Volume has declined during consolidation, pointing to reduced participation and a lack of strong conviction from buyers.
Unless Bitcoin can reclaim key moving averages and break above range resistance with strength, the current structure favors continued consolidation or a potential move lower toward support.

More Bitcoin Is Absorbed Than Being Mined
While price direction has been uncertain and unstable for the past few weeks, a growing imbalance is starting to take shape in the Bitcoin market. This imbalance focuses on institutions&#8217; interests in BTC compared to new coins being mined.
On the X platform, a crypto investor known as AltCryptoGems has shared that institutional demand for BTC is rising at a substantial rate despite current unfavorable market conditions. Currently, public companies are scooping up more BTC faster than the rate at which miners are producing new coins.
As it continues to expand, this dynamic is strengthening the scarcity narrative of the flagship asset and reducing the amount of liquidity that is available. Such an imbalance could play a crucial role or act as a catalyst for the asset’s next price move. When large institutions accumulate, it is typically a clear sign of conviction in the asset&#8217;s long-term prospects.
The recently concluded month of March saw a wave of accumulation from these big public firms. In the month alone, the expert revealed that these companies collectively added over 47,000 BTC valued at approximately $3.14 billion at current price levels, to their balance sheets. Leading the charge is Michael Saylor’s Strategy, amassing over 44,377 BTC out of the net acquisition.
When compared to the prior month, this is significantly higher, as it saw over 29,590 BTC being scooped up by public institutions. This shows that institutional interest and demand in BTC nearly doubled within a monthly period. As for Bitcoin mining, only 13,950 BTC were mined during the same period, indicating that demand is currently clouding new supply into the market. 
BTC Exchange Balance Is Drying Up Pretty Fast
Despite persistent sideways price action and ongoing volatility, the underlying sentiment toward Bitcoin is turning quite bullish. Investors on cryptocurrency exchanges are steadily taking out their BTC from these platforms. Market expert Leon Waidmann reported that BTC balance on cryptocurrency exchanges is not sitting at its lowest level since 2018. 
After a period of steady withdrawals, the total supply of BTC left on exchanges is only 14.6%. From 2019 to 2022, the balance dropped to the 16% to 18% range, and then gradually continued bleeding throughout 2022. Now, 8 years later, the percentage has dropped to 14.6% as of April 2026.
Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency asset, has also witnessed a similar trend, with balances on exchanges now sitting at 11%, its lowest level in years. Both leading assets are at historic lows at the same time, making this period a crucial one for the market as it could notably shift sentiment.

The firm plans to roll out “Schwab Crypto” through its Premier Bank platform, enabling eligible customers to buy and sell Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) directly, according to disclosures on the company’s website.
Charles Schwab’s New Crypto Service 
Charles Schwab’s announcement makes clear that the new offering will not be open to everyone. The firm says not all applicants will qualify, and accounts will be available in every US state except New York and Louisiana. 
Company leadership has signaled a cautious, phased approach to the launch. CEO Rick Wurster told investors last month that Schwab will initially support only Bitcoin and Ethereum and is “extremely confident” in the technical work required to integrate crypto trading into its systems.
Charles Schwab&#8217;s CEO also described a staged rollout: the exchange will first test the platform internally with employees, then open access to a limited group of customers, and only after that offer the service broadly to its investor base. 
Launch Date And Fees Still Unknown
Until now, Charles Schwab investors seeking crypto exposure have had to rely on alternative products available through the broker. The firm already provides access to crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs), crypto-related equities, Bitcoin futures, and listed options tied to spot Bitcoin ETPs.
Schwab Crypto would, if launched as described, mark a move into direct custody-and-trading services for the two largest digital assets. A few details remain unsettled. Schwab has not yet disclosed the exact launch date or the final fee structure for Schwab Crypto. 
Those decisions could be influenced by recent market conditions: falling prices in the cryptocurrency market may prompt the firm to delay its public rollout until conditions stabilize or until its testing phases are complete.

The report specifically highlighted the XRP Ledger and the network’s efforts to protect against quantum threats. 
Google’s Latest Quantum Research Report Discusses XRP
In an X post, Cryptoinsight highlighted Google’s research report, which discussed XRP and the XRPL’s quantum efforts. He also noted that Google’s claim that 2/3 of the short-dated U.S. treasury bills are on the Ledger, while the majority of the remaining are on the Ethereum network. 
In the quantum report, Google noted that the Ledger is among the networks conducting experimental and test deployments of post-quantum cryptography (PQC). The Ledger recently deployed post-quantum ML-DSA signatures on the testnet. The report also recognized how this was key as the Ledger provides “extensive support” for RWA tokenization. 
RWA.xyz data shows that the XRP Ledger currently ranks 8th in terms of RWA tokenization, with a total tokenized value of $1.9 billion. The network boasts an RWA count of 289. Google noted that networks like the XRPL, which provide protocol-level support for RWA tokenization, introduce new quantum vulnerabilities not present in Bitcoin and its derivatives. 
This is based on the account model and smart contracts that networks like the Ledger employ to support tokenization. Google indicated that this quantum risk will become more prevalent. This is because of financial developments, such as fiat-backed stablecoins and the tokenization of other RWAs, which are projected to significantly increase the pool of assets governed by smart contracts by 2030. 
Another Quantum Risk For The Ledger And Other Networks
Google noted that the XRP Ledger is among the protocols that make long-term exposure of quantum-vulnerable public keys inevitable. However, Ledger has an edge as Google noted that the network, alongside Algorand and TRON, supports native, protocol-level key rotation. The research report added that modern Ethereum, Solana, and Rootstock accounts are controlled by smart wallets and support key rotation, but that legacy accounts remain a lingering vulnerability. 
Google stated that the technical and social complexities of switching blockchains to post-quantum signature schemes indicate that the process will take years. However, they noted that this move cannot be delayed until the exact timeline and feasibility of constructing Cryptographically Relevant Quantum Computers (CRQCs) become completely clear. 
At the same time, the report noted that the complexities and challenges are feasible to overcome, as networks such as the Ledger, Algorand, and Solana have demonstrated by making “notable progress” in real-world adoption of post-quantum cryptography. The Ledger also recently integrated AI to help identify vulnerabilities in the cycle development. 
At the time of writing, the altcoin&#8217;s price is trading at around $1.31, up in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Bitcoin Research Shows What Traders Are Doing Right Now And What It Means</title><description><![CDATA[Bitcoin (BTC) traders appear caught between caution and opportunity as Easter approaches and geopolitical tensions from the Iran conflict continue. A fresh analysis report from K33 Research highlights a surge in bearish bets that could signal either deeper trouble ahead or a setup for a sharp rebound once the holiday liquidity reduction eases. The report emphasizes how many traders have moved into short positions at levels rarely seen before, even as Bitcoin holds relatively steady compared to other cryptocurrencies and traditional assets affected by the same tensions and volatility. 
Bitcoin Traders Pile Into Shorts Amid Easter Caution
Vetle Lunde, Head of Research at K33, has highlighted the aggressive caution in Bitcoin derivatives markets right now. Notably, leveraged short exposure through major Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) has climbed sharply in recent sessions, reaching the second-highest level on record. This marks a 20% jump in just days, reflecting concentrated selling pressure from institutional and retail investors who are preparing for thinner trading volumes and liquidity during the Easter period. 
Lunde noted that such aggressive positioning typically occurs when sentiment turns very defensive, as people become more worried and fearful about current market conditions. He indicated that in the past, when similar behavior occurred, it often came right before the market changed direction, suggesting that this may be a bottoming signal. 
In addition to cautious sentiment, Lunde stated that funding rates in perpetual futures contracts have remained negative for more than a month, the longest streak since the brutal bear market in 2022. He suggested that persistent negative funding often indicates that shorts are paying longs to keep their positions open. He noted that this behavior could trigger a short squeeze if prices start rising and short traders rush to buy back their positions to avoid losses. 
Lunde also pointed out that the recent behavior of short traders, combined with Bitcoin approaching the Easter holiday at oversold levels, suggests that too many traders are expecting prices to fall. Because so many expect a drop, prices could rise suddenly once the holiday period ends and normal trading activity resumes.
What Easter And Geopolitics Mean For Long Or Shorts Bets
In the report, Lunde noted that Bitcoin has followed a predictable seasonal pattern around Easter for six straight years. During this holiday period, trading volumes drop noticeably and volatility compresses as big trading firms and banks in Europe get quieter or stop trading. 
However, the Bitcoin researcher highlights that this year might be different from past periods. He noted that the rising tensions in the Middle East might disrupt the usual quiet Easter trading period. Currently, there is a lot of talk and concern about oil facilities being at risk due to the ongoing conflict. As a result, investors are becoming more cautious even as they decide whether to go long or short. 
Based on the recent activities, two possible outcomes could emerge after the holidays. Because many traders are betting on prices falling, any major bad news could cause a sharp drop, especially when trading activity is low. However, when traders become extremely bearish, it often signals that sellers are exhausted and buyers may soon take over, signaling a possible trend shift.

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the Justice Department are coming to the rescue.
For The First Time, The Scale Moves In Crypto Prediction Markets’ Favor
As contradictory as it may sound, the Trump administration is trying to save crypto prediction markets from the State itself. The coordinated lawsuits the CFTC and the DOJ have filed against the three states argue that only the federal derivatives regulator can police prediction markets.
The @CFTC has clear and longstanding exclusive jurisdiction to regulate prediction markets. But recently, state regulators have tried to impose inconsistent and contrary obligations on CFTC-registered prediction markets. In response, the CFTC and @TheJusticeDept today filed three…
— Mike Selig (@ChairmanSelig) April 2, 2026
The lawsuits go as far as to claim the three states are bypassing the CFTC’s authority by trying to shut down “federally regulated DCMs” (designated contract markets). Regarding Illinois, the federal regulator said the state spent the past year issuing cease‑and‑desist letters to Kalshi, Crypto.com, and Polymarket, which the complaint argues are all under CFTC authority:
Illinois’s attempt to shut down federally regulated DCMs intrudes on the exclusive federal scheme Congress designed to oversee national swaps markets.

Put simply, Washington says prediction markets are federally regulated derivatives. States insist, however, that prediction markets are just unlicensed gambling products harming local consumers.
CFTC Chairman Michael Selig explained that this is not the first time states “have tried to impose consistent and contrary obligations on market participants”. Just this past month, a bipartisan Senate bill targeting sports‑style bets on platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi was introduced by Senators Adam Schiff (D-CA) and John Curtis (R-UT).
Also on March, democratic representative Seth Moulton of Massachusetts (MA-06) formally banned all his staff from participating in prediction markets. That same day, Congressman Adrian Smith (R-NE-03) and Congresswoman Nikki Budzinski (D-IL-13) from Nebraska introduced the PREDICT Act, banning members of Congress from trading on political and policy outcome markets.
These are the first lawsuits by the CFTC to block state gaming regulators ​from policing operators of prediction markets, according to Reuters. The outlet also highlighted the fact that all the defendants are Democrats.
Market Implications
The CFTC’s lawsuits build on its recent push to assert “exclusive jurisdiction” over event contracts, including sports and politics, reversing the Biden‑era move that tried to ban broad categories of prediction markets.
Prediction markets are morphing into an information layer and hedging tool for traders, with liquidity increasingly coming from crypto‑native capital and exchange integrations.
A federal win would likely centralize rule‑making at the CFTC, potentially clearing a single regulatory path for crypto prediction platforms, but also tightening surveillance and enforcement. Conversely, if states prevail, platforms may face a patchwork of gambling rules that fracture liquidity, push some markets offshore, and raise operational risk premia for traders.

The token, called JONATHAN, was still trading at $0.00007998, according to reports.
Token Surge Followed The Hoax
The scam began with a post from an account pretending to be veterinarian Joe Hollins, the real doctor who has cared for Jonathan on Saint Helena, a British territory in the South Atlantic.
The fake post (below) claimed the tortoise had died and pushed users toward a Solana memecoin tied to the story. Some news outlets initially amplified the false death claim before it was debunked.
Thank you all for the outpouring of love for Jonathan as we mourn his passing. Over the years as his vet, one of my favorite memories was watching him slowly make his way across the lawn at Plantation House on warm afternoons, completely unbothered by the passage of time.
Even…
— Nanoracks (@nanoracks) April 1, 2026
It says Jonathan is still alive! Who are you?,
— Becky S. () (@BeckySpooner1) April 1, 2026
Both the Governor of Saint Helena, Nigel Phillips, and the real Joe Hollins subsequently confirmed that Jonathan was still alive.
The setup was simple and fast. A trusted identity was copied, a sad story was posted, and crypto was added to the mix before many users had time to check the facts.
A crypto news site reported that the false account was used to promote donations and token buying, turning a strange animal story into a short-lived trading frenzy.
X Puts New Limits On Crypto Posts
The episode also drew a response from X. Nikita Bier, head of product at the platform, said the company was looking at new rules for users who mention crypto for the first time.
Under the plan he outlined, accounts could be locked and pushed through verification before posting. Bier said the goal was to strip away most of the reward scammers get from these schemes.
Yeah we’re aware.
We are in the process of implementing auto-locking + verification if a user posts about cryptocurrency for the first time in the history of their account.
This should kill 99% of the incentive, especially since Google isn’t doing shit to stop the phishing…
— Nikita Bier (@nikitabier) April 1, 2026
His remarks came as X faced another reminder of how quickly fake claims can move on the site. According to the report, the scam used phishing-style access and impersonation tactics that are already familiar in crypto fraud.
The difference here was the subject. Instead of a celebrity or politician, the hook was a tortoise known around the world for its age.
A Familiar Scam Pattern
The Jonathan hoax was unusual in form, but not in method. Scammers often use anonymous or fake accounts to spread false promises and fake memecoins.
The report also pointed out that unauthorized tokens have been created around public figures before, including Sanae Takaichi and US President Donald Trump.
That pattern has a simple shape: grab attention, borrow trust, and add a token before the lie is exposed. In this case, the price spike was brief, the false death claim was exposed, and the tortoise at the center of it all remained alive.
