The reward program was announced Monday in Las Vegas alongside a package of new features, with the centerpiece being a live proof-of-reserves system covering Block&#8217;s corporate Bitcoin holdings.
Anyone Can Check The Numbers
Block holds 8,883 Bitcoin on its balance sheet, valued at roughly $680 million. That makes it the 14th-largest corporate Bitcoin holder in the world.
Through on-chain signatures, the company says any member of the public can independently confirm that those coins exist and are under active control.
&#8220;People shouldn&#8217;t have to trust that their crypto is there, they should be able to verify it,&#8221; Block said in a post on X. The system covers not just the corporate treasury but also two of Block&#8217;s flagship products — Cash App and Square.
https://t.co/pkLmTXnxkG
— Bitcoin at Block (@BitcoinatBlock) April 27, 2026
The proof-of-reserves announcement came bundled with several other moves. Block launched a new Bitkey hardware wallet equipped with a touchscreen for verifying transactions.
Cash App users will be able to have incoming payments automatically converted to BTC. Customer withdrawal limits were also raised sharply — up to $10,000 per day and $25,000 per week, five times the previous cap.
A Standard The Industry Adopted After A Painful Lesson
The wider push for reserve transparency traces back to the collapse of FTX in November 2022. After that failure shook confidence across the industry, exchanges and crypto firms began publishing proof-of-reserves as a way to show customers their funds were fully backed. Binance, Kraken, OKX, Bitfinex, and Bitget have all adopted the practice.
Not everyone has followed suit. Strategy, the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin in the world, has not released any proof-of-reserves. In May 2025, executive chairman Michael Saylor said the practice was actually dangerous.
According to Saylor, publishing reserve data &#8220;dilutes the security of the issuer, the custodians, the exchanges and the investors.&#8221; He called it &#8220;a bad idea.&#8221;
Dorsey&#8217;s Broader Push For Bitcoin Payments
Block&#8217;s announcements fit a pattern. Dorsey has long argued that BTC needs to become a functional payment tool, not just a store of value.
He has said that wide adoption of Bitcoin payments is essential to preserving what he sees as Satoshi Nakamoto&#8217;s original intent — a peer-to-peer electronic cash system.
The Las Vegas event showed that vision being pushed further into Block&#8217;s products. Auto-conversion of payments to Bitcoin, cashback rewards, higher withdrawal limits — each feature nudges everyday users closer to holding and spending crypto through Block&#8217;s ecosystem.

With both bullish and bearish positions building, the setup points to rising tension among traders and investors as they attempt to predict XRP’s future price action. 
XRP Forms Liquidity On The Upside And Downside
In an X post on April 26, Pillows noted that the XRP price has been struggling to move in a clear direction, as the cryptocurrency trades in a tight range even while Bitcoin moves higher. Typically, when the price of BTC rises, most cryptocurrencies tend to follow, tracking the market’s upward momentum. 
However, XRP has continued to consolidate around the $1.40 level for weeks now. In market terms, this type of sideways price action often indicates indecision, where buyers and sellers are both building positions while waiting for a breakout, either to the upside or downside. 
Importantly, Pillows noted that XRP’s prolonged consolidation phase has created liquidity pockets on both sides of the market. He stated that a decent amount of short-side liquidity has formed on the upside near $1.5. This suggests that many traders betting against XRP may have set stop-loss or liquidation levels around that level. As a result, if the price were to move above $1.5, it could trigger those stop-loss orders, forcing short sellers to buy back positions and potentially fueling a sharp move higher. 
On the downside, Pillows noted that a liquidity cluster has formed below $1.4. This suggests a concentration of stop-loss orders around this area, likely placed by bullish traders beneath support. If XRP were to drop below this zone, those stops could get swept, potentially triggering liquidations that could spark a downside move before a possible rebound. 
Overall, the major point Pillows is making is that XRP may be building pressure for a larger move soon, with both upside and downside liquidity acting as magnets for price action. Traders and investors often watch these zones because the market sometimes gravitates toward liquidity pockets before moving in a clearer direction.  
Analyst Rejects “Unrealistic” $1,000 Claims
Separately, crypto analyst ChartNerd has rejected recent overly optimistic XRP forecasts circulating in the market. He argued that repeated calls for the altcoin to reach $1,000 are “highly unrealistic” and “far more dangerous” than warnings of a drop below $1. 
According to ChartNerd, unlike the $1,000 calls, these sub-$1 bearish projections are at least grounded in historical chart data. He explained that during every bear market, XRP has repeatedly fallen to the lower regression band of the Gaussian Channel, where its price declined significantly. Based on that historical trend, he said that another similar decline cannot be ruled out, even as overly bullish predictions continue to dominate the market.

Bitcoin Coinbase Premium Gap Has Broken Its Positive Streak
In a new post on X, CryptoQuant community analyst Maartunn has talked about the latest trend in the Coinbase Premium Gap for Bitcoin. This metric keeps track of the difference between the BTC spot price listed on Coinbase (USD pair) and that on Binance (USDT pair).
The indicator basically tells us about how buying or selling behaviors differ between the userbases of Coinbase and Binance. The two platforms naturally see some overlap in traders, but their demographics tend to still be different enough overall to produce unique behaviors.
Coinbase is the main destination of the US-based investors, especially the large institutional entities, while Binance hosts a global traffic. As such, the value of the Coinbase Premium Gap reflects whether the American whales are applying a higher or lower buying/selling pressure as compared to Binance&#8217;s global whales.
Now, here is the chart shared by Maartunn that shows the trend in the Bitcoin Coinbase Premium Gap over the last several weeks:
As displayed in the above graph, the Bitcoin Coinbase Premium Gap has been positive for most of April, implying that the cryptocurrency has traded at a higher rate on Coinbase than on Binance. This trend would suggest that American investors have generally applied a higher buying pressure than global traders during this month.
From the chart, it&#8217;s visible, however, that the past day has seen a shift in the market. The metric, which had been on a 20-day green streak, has plummeted into the negative zone. This reversal in the indicator has come alongside a pullback in the BTC price below the $77,000 mark.
Last month, the Coinbase Premium Gap had witnessed an extended stay inside the red region, and while it had this phase, the BTC price had struggled. The surge into positive values this month, on the other hand, led to the asset&#8217;s recovery. The indicator having some correlation with the spot price in this manner is a pattern that has often been witnessed since the start of 2024 due to US institutional entities becoming more involved in the sector.
As these massive investors have seemingly taken to selling again, it&#8217;s possible that Bitcoin could see a negative effect. It only remains to be seen, though, how the Coinbase Premium Gap will develop in the near future and whether the switch to negative values is going to sustain.
BTC Price
At the time of writing, Bitcoin is floating around $76,500, down 1.7% in the last 24 hours.

XRP’s price may be gradually trending upward, but a recent signal shows that investors are not fully confident about the renewed uptrend as high-risk positions drop on exchanges.
Reduced Leverage Activity Hits XRP on Binance
While the XRP price is gaining bullish traction, something crucial is happening on cryptocurrency exchanges, particularly Binance, the world&#8217;s largest trading platform. A shift in derivatives positioning is currently emerging for XRP on this leading trading platform.
As reported by Xaif Crypto, a market expert and trader, on the X platform, the Estimated Leverage Ratio on Binance has shifted to the downside. The chart shared by the expert shows that the leveraged ratio is now sitting g at the 0.15 level, indicating a reduction in exposure to high-risk positions.
What this implies is that traders are either closing contracts or scaling back leverage in the face of uncertainty across the broader crypto market. When the ratio drops to these kinds of levels, it often points to a cooling phase, in which the market resets after periods of increased activity, and speculative intensity diminishes.
After examining the chart, Xaif Crypto stated that traders are barely leveraged right now. While this pattern may be considered bearish, the expert claims that this is the precise setup that leads to explosive moves in the near term. This is because when there is less leverage, less fuel is being burned, which creates an atmosphere for major price moves.
Xaif Crypto added that the next ignition could catch everyone off guard, reflecting his conviction in an impending notable bullish move for the XRP’s price once new momentum emerges.
In another X post, Xaif Crypto has highlighted a compelling divergence in the XRP market. While there are signs of increasing scarcity, the price continues to stay low. The XRP Scarcity Index on Binance is exhibiting a subtle, steady growth, indicating a tightening of the available supply, either as a result of rising long-term holding behavior or decreased exchange balances. 
Each time the index has bottomed out, the expert highlighted that prices have followed higher, making this a crucial moment for the altcoin. With scarcity rising and prices remaining low, this setup has created a key gap. However, this kind of gap does not stay open for long, especially once demand begins to rise again.
Another Weekly Inflows For The Leading Altcoin
Bullish sentiment in the market is gradually building as huge capital continues to flow into major cryptocurrency assets in the ever-dynamic sector. CoinShares data shows that digital asset investment products recorded a whopping $1.2 billion in weekly inflows.
Even though this renewed wave of capital was majorly seen across Bitcoin and Ethereum, XRP still managed to attract some of these funds, snatching up $25 million in weekly inflows. With this capital, the altcoin’s weekly YTD is now valued at $148 million in addition to its $2.57 billion in Asset Under Management (AUM). “While others chase headlines, XRP just keeps stacking,” Xaif Crypto added.

The warning comes from Peter Schiff, who believes the company’s current financial strategy may not be able to hold up over time.
Bitcoin-Linked Financing Model Raises Structural Concerns
At the center of this issue is how Strategy raises money using a financial instrument called STRC. These preferred shares promise investors a variable return of about 11.5%. Some believe that Bitcoin only needs to grow by around 2% each year for the company to keep paying this return. However, Schiff pointed out that this idea only works if Strategy stops issuing new STRC shares.
That is not what is happening. Under Michael Saylor, the company continues to release more STRC. Each new issuance increases the total amount of returns the company must pay. This means Bitcoin would need to grow faster over time just to keep up with the rising obligations.
Another problem appears if the price of STRC drops below its target value of 100. Schiff explained that to bring the price back up, the company may need to offer an even higher return. This increases the pressure further because higher returns mean more money must be paid out. As more shares are issued and returns rise, the system becomes harder to maintain.
Death Spiral Scenario Extends From STRC To Bitcoin And MSTR
Schiff then described how this situation could turn into a dangerous cycle. To keep paying investors, Strategy may need to sell some of its Bitcoin. Selling Bitcoin can push its price down, especially if it happens repeatedly.
If Bitcoin’s price falls, the value of the company’s remaining holdings also drops. At the same time, the company still has to meet its growing payment obligations. This creates a loop where falling prices and rising demands feed into each other.
The situation can become worse if more STRC is issued. Each step adds more pressure, and, according to Schiff, this is how a “death spiral” can form, where each action taken to solve the problem ends up making it bigger.
He added that the only way to stop this cycle would be to cancel the payments tied to STRC. However, that option comes with its own risks. If the payments stop, the value of STRC could fall sharply, which may also affect Strategy&#8217;s stock. Because the company is so closely tied to Bitcoin, this kind of disruption could spread to the wider market.
In Schiff’s view, the link between STRC, Strategy, and Bitcoin creates a chain reaction where pressure in one area quickly affects the others. He believes this cycle could ultimately bring down Strategy, widely seen as Bitcoin’s strongest corporate supporter, with ripple effects extending into the Bitcoin market itself.

The analyst has predicted that the BTC price could extend its ongoing recovery and potentially push toward the $80,000 level in the short term. However, he cautioned that this move could attract late buyers who mistake it for a sustained uptrend, only for momentum to fade sharply, leaving them trapped in losing positions.
Bitcoin Bulls Face Key Test At $79,300
Crypto analyst @Sherlockwhale warned in a post on X that Bitcoin may be approaching a key area where traders could misread the short-term upward move as bullish strength or a sustained breakout. According to the analyst, current market conditions could trap participants who expect a prolonged bull trend, as price action may end up forming a lower high instead of a sustained move upward.
The analyst explained that while many traders are currently expecting Bitcoin to confirm a higher high, he believes the structure is more similar to previous rejection zones around  $107,000 and $97,000. In those instances, the BTC price failed to sustain an upward move, forming lower highs that trapped late buyers as sellers stepped in aggressively to take profits.
@Sherlockwhale suggests that a similar situation could develop again if Bitcoin approaches the critical level around $79,300. In his view, this area could serve as a turning point where bulls may get caught and possibly become exit liquidity. He outlined two potential bearish outlooks based on Bitcoin&#8217;s weekly chart structure. 
In the first scenario, he predicts that if Bitcoin closes the week below $79,300, he would consider that a signal to take a short position. In that case, he targets a sharp reversal toward $60,000, with invalidation above the current weekly wick.
The second scenario assumes Bitcoin could move higher first before reversing to the downside. In that case, @Sherlockwhale expects the price to rally toward its next major resistance around $83,400, aligning with the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level on the chart. This area is also seen as a potential liquidity zone where buyers could get caught before a major downturn begins. Even in this case, the analyst’s projected bearish target remains $60,000, likely viewing this level as a potential bear market bottom. 
BTC To See More Upside Before Another Crash
Sharing similar bearish sentiment, market analyst Michael van de Poppe has predicted that Bitcoin could see another strong upside move, extending its ongoing rebound, before a steeper crash. According to the analyst, BTC is currently holding critical levels around $76,000 after rallying above $79,000 just a day before. 
Poppe notes that the cryptocurrency is still preparing for more upside and could be heading toward its next resistance levels between $85,000 and $88,000 by May. He predicts that once the price reaches this level, it could reverse sharply, potentially declining toward $56,000.

In his post, Bons framed the conversation around what he calls “devils hiding in the details,” arguing that Hyperliquid’s rise is tied to design choices that are easy to overlook.
Spotlight On Hyperliquid
Bons said Hyperliquid’s performance—especially its ability to lead fee charts—comes down to product execution. He argued that HYPE has built a trading experience that feels superior to alternatives, including Solana’s.
According to Bons, Solana’s planned upgrades, Alpenglow and MCP, are intended to close the perceived gap in performance, positioning, and user experience.
At the same time, Bons maintained that Hyperliquid has benefited from running largely unchallenged within its specific niche. He pointed to the platform’s focus areas—perpetual (perp) trading and real-world assets (RWA)—as areas where it has found strong momentum and demand. 
For Bons, this combination of product strength and a clear market focus has helped explain why HYPE has attracted attention so quickly, even as it remains early in the journey toward a more fully decentralized execution model.
A major part of Bons’s analysis centered on what he described as a “latency race.” He argued that HYPE’s current infrastructure shows a high level of concentration, citing that the network has only 24 validators and that most are located in the same data center in Tokyo. 
Centralization Concerns Remain
In his view, that distribution represents an “extreme degree of centralization,” even if the validator operators remain permissionless in principle. Bons acknowledged that this structure appears to have emerged due to strong demand for low latency. 
He said Cyber Capital would not defend the design, but emphasized that market behavior has rewarded faster execution, which helps explain why such an architecture developed in the first place.
Bons also described an important dynamic for both chains: Hyperliquid and Solana are both pursuing low latency performance while moving toward fully decentralized designs. He characterized this as the key contest—who can reach a low-latency, highly decentralized outcome first.
HYPE Could Be ‘Bitcoin 3.0’
Another claim Bons made was that much of Hyperliquid’s trading activity does not occur in the fully on-chain way that many users assume.  In his description, HYPE does not match trades on-chain immediately; instead, orders are matched in the mempool and are only included on-chain later. 
Bons argued that this distinction is not obvious to most traders, and that it is part of the reason the platform can deliver a smoother product. Bons further argued that Hyperliquid is taking steps that align with a path toward greater decentralization. 
He said HYPE is moving in a direction that could lead to more “full decentralization” over time, citing commitments such as open-sourcing the codebase, moving trading fully on-chain, and increasing and better distributing validators globally. 
From an “evolutionary” perspective in his post, the winner of this competition could be seen as a kind of next-generation benchmark for decentralization and performance, with the potential to become “Bitcoin 3.0” in the sense of building the most decentralized and performant chain at scale.

As the ETF landscape gains momentum, DOGE ETFs have just hit a notable milestone that could bolster demand for these newly launched investment products.
Dogecoin Investment Product Debuts On Major European Exchange
A new milestone for mainstream crypto adoption is taking shape, and this time it is centered around Dogecoin, the largest meme coin in the market. The Dogecoin Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) have secured another achievement that allows these products to gain more ground globally.
In the face of growing demand for ETFs, 21Shares’ Dogecoin ETP just went live on Xetra, the largest ETF exchange in Europe. The listing is a major step in making DOGE more accessible to institutions, turning it from a retail-driven asset into a more accessible investment product alongside leading assets such as Bitcoin and Ethereum.
According to the report from 21Shares, DOGE ETPs going live on Xetra offers investors across Europe 100% physically-backed access to the most famous meme coin in crypto history. By connecting traditional finance with the cryptocurrency market, the action demonstrates the increasing need for diverse exposure to digital assets within regulated frameworks.
With fresh capital poised to enter DOGE ETPs, this burst of demand could play a crucial role in shaping the meme coin’s price trajectory in the short and long term. This news has triggered a frenzy across the Dogecoin community, with analysts expressing optimism regarding the milestone.
The milestone comes at a time when the Dogecoin Spot ETFs are experiencing significantly slow growth, recording little or no capital inflows. As the product eyes a new variety of investors across Europe, demand for the DOGE ETFs could gradually return, once again backed by meme coin excitement.
Another factor that could spur demand for the products is the decision by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) regarding meme coins and other major assets in the crypto sector. Both regulatory bodies have recently classified DOGE alongside 16 other crypto assets as digital commodities, reducing regulatory friction and uncertainty on the meme coin.
Such classification is going to change how DOGE is being viewed in the crypto and financial sector. As a result, more institutional players and new financial products might likely flow into DOGE.
DOGE Showing Strength Compared To Bitcoin
While the market slowly improves, Trader Tardigrade, a crypto analyst, has delved into the performance of Dogecoin and Bitcoin. After his examination of the 1-hour time frame, the expert outlined that the Lower Time Frame (LTF) is flashing a classic Relative Strength Divergence.
For the DOGE, the meme coin is now printing a higher high, indicating underlying bullish momentum. Meanwhile, Bitcoin is steadily retesting the prior high before trending downward. Trader Tardigrade stated that this setup often signals rotation and fresh liquidity flowing into Dogecoin. With this, DOGE is now taking the spotlight while the crypto king experiences sideways performance.

What Coinbase Thinks About Q2 2026
In the report, Coinbase frames its overall position as neutral for the second quarter of the year, pointing to the kind of uncertainty that makes it difficult to press directional bets in the near term.
The firm said persistent, elevated uncertainty tied to the current geopolitical situation is one of the main reasons it isn’t leaning heavily toward either upside or downside trades. In that environment, Coinbase expects a more balanced approach to risk and return rather than aggressive positioning. 
It also notes that, even with broader uncertainty dominating decision-making, there are still specific, “idiosyncratic” factors that can influence crypto outcomes. 
Among them, Coinbase highlights regulatory developments and the growing rise of agentic artificial intelligence (AI). However, the firm’s view is that these themes are currently taking a back seat to macro and geopolitical risk.
Looking closer to the present, Coinbase said it is cautiously optimistic that the macro picture may be shifting in a more positive direction as the quarter begins. The firm suggests that this could help many crypto assets find a bottom in the near term and then recover later in Q2. 
Coinbase also pointed to technical indicators that, in general, have turned positive not only across crypto markets but also across equity markets. Still, the report makes clear that this improvement is conditional and that it depends on whether a deal is reached with Iran.
82% Of Institutions See Late-Bear Markets
As part of its outlook, between March 16 and April 7, 2026, Coinbase surveyed 91 global investors—29 institutions and 62 non-institutions—to gather perspectives on where the market is headed. 
One of the most striking takeaways from the survey is that sentiment has worsened across both institutional and non-institutional groups. Coinbase reported that roughly 82% of institutions and 70% of non-institutions now place the market in either bear market or late bear market phases. 
Even with the more pessimistic phase readings, the survey suggests investors continue to see Bitcoin as a value opportunity. Coinbase said three-quarters of institutions (75%) and about three-fifths of non-institutions (61%) view BTC as undervalued. 
The survey also measured expectations for Bitcoin’s share of the market, or “dominance.” Coinbase reported that expectations have shifted toward what it called a steady state. Specifically, the share of institutions expecting BTC dominance to increase fell from 40% to 25%. 
At the same time, a plurality of institutions—54%—now expect dominance to hold around current levels, an increase from 44%. Coinbase added that within that set, 21% of institutions are looking for a decline in dominance.

The price chart shows hesitation. The on-chain data, however, is showing something quite different — and it is coming from the same entity that has been quietly reshaping Ethereum&#8217;s supply structure for months.
Data from Arkham Intelligence confirms that Bitmine has staked another 112,656 ETH, worth approximately $260 million at current prices. The transaction is the latest in a series of large, deliberate commitments that have been building since the company began its Ethereum treasury strategy earlier this year. Each stake has been followed by another. The pace has not slowed. The direction has not changed.
A company that started with a thesis about Ethereum&#8217;s long-term value has been executing against it consistently, at scale, through market volatility, through price weakness, and through the kind of uncertainty that causes most participants to pause rather than commit further.
Ethereum struggling to clear $2,400 while one of its largest holders keeps locking more supply into the network is a structural tension the price chart does not yet reflect — but the on-chain data makes it impossible to ignore.
$8.8 Billion Staked. 75% Committed. The Endgame Is Coming Into Focus
The cumulative numbers define the scale of what Bitmine has built. With 3,814,245 ETH now staked — $8.8 billion at current prices and 75% of its total holdings — the company has constructed what is almost certainly the largest single-entity staked Ethereum position in existence. Three-quarters of everything Bitmine owns is locked into the network&#8217;s validator infrastructure, generating yield while simultaneously removing supply from the liquid market.
The endgame the data points toward is not speculative. It is legible in the behavior itself. Bitmine is not accumulating Ethereum to trade it. It is not building a position to exit at the next cycle peak. The staking commitment — which comes with exit delays, unbonding periods, and the deliberate friction of illiquidity — reflects a company that has decided Ethereum&#8217;s value as a yield-generating, network-securing asset exceeds its value as a tradeable token.
The MicroStrategy parallel is frequently drawn, and for good reason. But the staking dimension goes further than anything Strategy built with Bitcoin. Bitmine is not simply withdrawing supply from the market — it is embedding itself into the protocol&#8217;s operational infrastructure. Every validator activated deepens the commitment and broadens the network&#8217;s dependence on Bitmine&#8217;s continued participation.
At 75% staked and still adding, the endgame appears to be control of a structural position in Ethereum that generates returns, influences network security, and creates a supply floor that compounds with every additional stake. The accumulation has not stopped. The position has not peaked. The direction remains unchanged.
Ethereum Tests Long-Term Support
Ethereum is trading near $2,280 on the weekly chart, holding a level that now sits at the intersection of key long-term moving averages. The recent structure shows a sharp rejection from the $3,800–$4,000 region earlier in the cycle, followed by a deep corrective phase that bottomed near $1,500. Since then, price has recovered, but the momentum has been uneven and clearly constrained.
The current range between roughly $2,100 and $2,400 is acting as a battleground. Ethereum is attempting to reclaim the 200-week moving average, which is flattening and beginning to act as resistance rather than support. At the same time, the 50-week and 100-week moving averages are converging just above current price, reinforcing the overhead supply zone around $2,400–$2,600.
Volume patterns suggest that the selloff carried stronger conviction than the recovery. The spike in volume during the drop indicates forced selling or aggressive distribution, while the rebound has developed on comparatively lower participation — a typical characteristic of corrective rallies rather than impulsive trend reversals.
Structurally, Ethereum is compressing beneath resistance after a relief bounce. A clean break above $2,600 would shift the medium-term outlook toward continuation. Failure to hold $2,100, however, would expose the structure back toward the lower demand zones.

However, Ripple itself has been doing something far more consequential, which has been dismantling the structural barriers that have kept crypto on the sidelines.
One of the clearest signals came from Ripple’s own statements around custody, where it described secure, compliant custody as the governance layer that everything else runs on.
Ripple Is Quietly Solving Crypto’s Biggest Bottleneck
XRP has always been at the center of every move made by Ripple. In fact, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse had previously noted that the token is the company&#8217;s North Star. However, Ripple’s push to position XRP at the center of global finance does not begin with payments. It begins with custody. 
According to recent insights from Ripple, the company made it clear that the biggest obstacle to institutional adoption is not speed or cost, but the absence of a secure, compliant foundation that everything else can run on.
Custody is the governance layer that everything else runs on. Payments infrastructure carries risk, tokenization efforts face compliance gaps, and treasury operations become harder to manage. This is the bottleneck Ripple is targeting, and Ripple Custody is being built to remove that friction.
As noted in the insights, Ripple is assembling a system that allows institutions to operate within familiar regulatory and operational frameworks through acquisitions like Palisade, integration with Chainalysis, and partnerships with Securosys and Figment, which are two of the biggest infrastructure providers.
At the same time, Ripple Custody expanded into new geographies and deepened relationships with banking partners globally. An example is the partnership with Kyobo Life Insurance, one of Korea’s largest and most established financial institutions, to explore blockchain-based custody and on-chain settlement infrastructure.
Ripple is also making moves in Europe, and it has working partnerships with firms like Intesa Sanpaolo, BBVA, DBS Bank, and DZ Bank, all through Ripple Custody.
Interestingly, Ripple Custody’s moves are limited to the XRP ecosystem only. Ripple Custody is also in partnership with Figment, and this allows regulated institutions to provide staking for major Proof-of-Stake networks like Ethereum and Solana directly within their existing custody systems and operational workflows.
How Does This Play Into XRP?
As mentioned earlier, XRP is at the forefront of every move made by Ripple. Ripple is a payments technology company at its core, but leaders of the company have made it clear multiple times that they are actively working to make sure that XRP is at the center of it all. 
XRP fits well into the equation of Ripple Custody. The token was designed for fast settlement, but Ripple is now trying to place it inside a much larger institutional pipeline. Ripple Custody now allows XRP to function within regulated environments, connect with tokenized assets,  and move liquidity across markets without introducing risk.

Euro Stablecoins On The &#8216;Regulatory Laffer Curve&#8217; Downside
On Monday, Blockchain for Europe, an organization that represents international Blockchain industry players in the EU, said that while the EU’s Markets in Crypto Asset Regulation (MiCA) has established a framework that makes euro-pegged stablecoins safe, it has also made them less competitive than their US-denominated rivals.
In its report titled “Reforming MiCA for Euro Stablecoins,” the industry group observes that the absence of regulation hinders market development. Conversely, excessively stringent regulations may prove ineffective, as they risk driving the targeted economic activity to less regulated or more welcoming jurisdictions.
“If compliant projects do not ultimately locate domestically, then regulation fails to achieve its objectives,” Blockchain for Europe affirmed, adding that a framework’s goal is to have a regulated but strong local industry.
The report noted that euro-pegged stablecoins account for less than 1% of global stablecoin volume, far below the level the euro’s broader role in global markets would suggest.
Under this premise, the group argues that the ground-breaking, comprehensive legislation has placed Europe on the “downward-sloping part of the regulatory Laffer curve,” as skepticism prevails among European policymakers regarding the trajectory of euro electronic money tokens (EMTs).
Last year, the European Central Bank (ECB) and the European Systemic Risk Board (ESRB) expressed concerns about financial instability risks, pushing for stricter regulations, including a ban on multi-issuance stablecoins in the bloc.
Nonetheless, the European Banking Authority (EBA) addressed these concerns in November, asserting that MiCA already has safeguards against potential risks posed by the tokens.
Reforming MiCA To Boost The European Market
Blockchain For Europe suggested multiple reforms to improve the regulated European stablecoin market and maximize MiCA’s positive impact on the industry, the Savings and Investment Union, European citizens, and businesses.
To achieve this, the industry group proposed allowing remuneration of euro-denominated EMTs with adequate regulation to ensure liquidity, arguing that there is no justification for such a ban.
In addition, the industry group suggested removing or reducing the minimum bank deposit requirement, replacing the 30% and 60% thresholds with a principle-based approach to reserve composition. This would allow issuers to allocate across high-quality liquid assets without forcing concentrated exposure to bank deposits.
They also proposed broadening and diversifying the eligible reserve asset suite and introducing a more proportionate and risk-based transparency regime for EMTs to reduce concentration risk, improve market functioning, and avoid raising barriers to entry.
Meanwhile, the report listed enabling calibrated access to central bank infrastructure and providing clarity and a “workable framework” for cross-border stablecoin usage as potential reforms to support the token’s competitiveness.
Europe Eyes Centralized Crypto Oversight
Blockchain for Europe’s report comes as the European Central Bank backs a proposal to shift oversight of key financial markets, including crypto, from national authorities to a centralized supervisory authority.
As reported by Bitcoinist, the ECB has supported the European Commission (EC)’s plan to integrate the EU’s capital market through a centralized entity, the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), to enhance competitiveness and harmonize regulation.
The EU initially proposed the plan, led by France and Germany, during MiCA’s development, but ultimately scrapped the plan. Notably, multiple nations and industry participants have opposed the measure.
In November, the Secretary General of Blockchain for Europe, Robert Kopitsch, argued that a shift towards a more centralized supervisory model should happen in the future based on “concrete” evidence gathered from MiCA’s initial years, and pointed out that local regulators have more direct and frequent interactions with firms.

The price is constructive but not yet decisive, and an Arab Chain report has just identified a behavioral shift among Bitcoin&#8217;s most structurally significant sellers that changes the supply picture behind the current consolidation.
The number of miner deposit transactions on exchanges has fallen to approximately 8,138 — one of the lowest readings on record. To understand why that matters, it helps to recall what the data looked like just months ago.
In late 2025, deposit transactions surged above 100,000 at times — a level of activity that reflected miners actively moving Bitcoin to exchanges, behavior historically associated with selling intent and profit-taking. Every spike above that threshold represented freshly mined coins entering the liquid market and adding to the sell-side overhead that recovering prices must absorb.
That dynamic has fundamentally changed. Since the beginning of 2026, the trend has moved persistently lower. The sharp spikes have disappeared. The peaks have flattened. The miners who were flooding exchanges with deposits just months ago have pulled back to a pace that barely registers against where they were.
Bitcoin, attempting to clear resistance above $76,000, is doing so in a market where the group that supplied the most consistent overhead pressure has nearly gone silent.
The Miners Have Stepped Back. The Question Is Whether They Stay Back.
The Arab Chain report connects the transaction decline directly to the current price environment. With Bitcoin trading around $77,000, the data is describing a market where one of its most consistent historical sources of sell-side pressure has effectively withdrawn. Miners are not just depositing less frequently — they are transferring smaller amounts when they do move, reflecting a behavioral shift that goes beyond routine portfolio adjustments into something closer to a deliberate change in strategy.
The report identifies two possible explanations for that shift, and both carry different implications for how long it persists. The first is expectation-driven: miners believe prices will move higher and are holding current production in anticipation of selling at better levels. The second is conviction-driven: miners have reduced their selling intent structurally and are accumulating rather than distributing, regardless of short-term price movements.
Either explanation produces the same near-term consequence. With miner deposit transactions at record lows, the overhead supply that recovering Bitcoin prices typically must fight through is significantly reduced. The path from $77,000 toward the $82,200 short-term holder cost basis — the breakeven zone for recent buyers — faces less resistance from this particular source than it has at any comparable point in recent memory.
The constructive framing the report offers is measured and conditional. Reduced miner selling pressure is a positive structural factor in the short term — but its durability depends on whether market demand holds at current levels or continues to grow. If demand weakens, the reduced miner activity offers support. If demand strengthens, the combination of reduced overhead and growing inflows creates the conditions the market has been building toward.
Bitcoin Holds Breakout Level as Price Tests Short-Term Strength
Bitcoin is consolidating near $76,500 after recently breaking above the $73,000–$74,000 resistance zone, which had capped price throughout March. That level now acts as support, marking a clear structural shift from range-bound compression to early-stage recovery. The breakout was clean, but follow-through is beginning to stall as price approaches the $78,000–$80,000 supply region.
The 50-day moving average has turned upward and is providing dynamic support below the current price, reinforcing the short-term uptrend. Meanwhile, the 100-day moving average sits just above and is beginning to flatten, acting as immediate resistance. The 200-day moving average remains downward sloping overhead, indicating that the broader trend has not fully transitioned back to bullish.
Price structure shows higher lows since the February capitulation near $63,000, confirming steady accumulation. However, recent candles reflect hesitation, with smaller bodies and wicks forming near resistance — a sign of balance between buyers and sellers.
Volume supports this interpretation. The recovery phase has occurred on moderate participation compared to the capitulation spike, suggesting controlled accumulation rather than aggressive expansion.
A break above $78,000 would open the path toward $82,000, where previous breakdown pressure originated. Failure to hold above $74,000 risks a return to the mid-range structure.

The Price Of Quick Crypto Riches</title><description><![CDATA[The United States Attorney’s Office (USAO) for the District of Columbia announced that a defendant who was involved in a scam that stole $236 million in Bitcoin was sentenced to six years in prison. This comes as the Department of Justice (DOJ) continues to crack down on crypto crimes. 
Defendant Sentenced To Six Years In Prison Over Bitcoin Scam
The USAO for DC announced in a press release that Evan Tangeman was sentenced to 6 years in prison for laundering millions of dollars, which was generated by a social engineering scheme. This scheme was said to have been orchestrated by a multistate criminal enterprise that stole more than $263 million in Bitcoin. 
U.S. Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro said that Tangeman didn’t just launder the money for the criminal enterprise but also moved to destroy the evidence when his co-conspirators were arrested. “That is consciousness of guilt, and this office and the court have treated that accordingly,&#8221; she said. 
The prosecutors stated that Tangeman pleaded guilty to participating in a RICO conspiracy before the court and admitted that he helped to launder at least $3.5 million of the stolen Bitcoin for members of the enterprise. In addition to the six-year sentence, the court also sentenced the defendant to serve three years of supervised release. 
Meanwhile, the USAO revealed that the criminal enterprise began no later than October 2023 and continued through at least May 2025. The group is said to have comprised individuals based in California, Connecticut, New York, and abroad. Besides Tangeman, the money launderer, the group included database hackers, organizers, target identifiers, callers, and residential burglars who targeted Bitcoin wallets. 
In laundering the stolen Bitcoin, Tangeman was responsible for converting the crypto into fiat cash and worked with real estate agents in Los Angeles to acquire large mansions for members of the criminal enterprise. 
DOJ’s Scam Center Strike Force Seizes $700 Million in Crypto
As part of the crackdown on crypto crimes, the USAO announced that it has seized over $700 million in Bitcoin, allegedly tied to money laundering from crypto scams. This comes amid a broader effort by the DOJ’s Strike Force mission to identify funds laundered by scam centers and to seize and forfeit them.
Meanwhile, the DOJ had announced in the release that the Scam Center Strike Force had carried out coordinated actions against Southeast Asian criminal organizations operating scam centers that have defrauded Americans of billions of dollars. As part of the action, they criminally charged two Chinese nationals who managed a compound for crypto investment fraud in Burma. The Strike Force also seized over $63 million from these Chinese nationals, which brought the Force’s tally for seizures up to the $700 million mark.

Developers Still Waiting For Hard Answers
The case was brought by developer Michael Lewellen, who wanted a court to tell him plainly whether his software crossed any legal lines before he published it.
The court said no credible enforcement threat had been shown and threw it out. Critics say that outcome exposes a contradiction in the government&#8217;s current position.
Peter Van Valkenburgh, executive director of Coin Center, acknowledged the tone from Washington has improved.
But he pressed a pointed question: if the legal standard is already clear enough that developers have nothing to fear, why did the Justice Department fight to have Lewellen&#8217;s case dismissed rather than let the courts define the rules?
Acting AG Todd Blanche was asked at Bitcoin Vegas about the fear that developers may face prosecution merely for writing code.
His answer:
“The basic principle is that if you are developing software, if you are a coder, if you are part of that process and you are not the… https://t.co/8IuUmvLW5t
— Peter Van Valkenburgh (@valkenburgh) April 27, 2026
&#8220;If the law is so clear why are devs sleeping with one eye open?&#8221; Van Valkenburgh wrote on X.
His frustration points to a gap between reassuring language from officials and binding legal protection for builders. Without a court ruling or new legislation that spells out the limits, developers remain in uncertain territory.
What The Acting AG Actually Said
Speaking at a Bitcoin conference in Las Vegas Monday alongside FBI Director Kash Patel and Coinbase&#8217;s chief legal officer Paul Grewal, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said the government has fundamentally shifted how it pursues financial crime in the crypto space.
The focus, he said, is now on the people using platforms to break the law — not the people who wrote the code.
Blanche was direct: a developer who builds software and has no knowledge that a third party is using it for criminal purposes will not face investigation or charges.
That position, he said, marks a clear break from how cases were handled before the Trump administration took over.
&#8220;I do not want any platform to look at the Department of Justice or the FBI as somebody who&#8217;s going to just cause them a lot of problems,&#8221; he said.
The groundwork for that shift was laid in April 2025, when Blanche released a memo committing the DOJ to ending what he called &#8220;regulation by prosecution.&#8221;
Under that framework, developers are not to be targeted for the actions of their users or for regulatory violations they were unaware of.
The Tornado Cash Cases Hang Over The Debate
The new stance contrasts sharply with how the government handled Tornado Cash, the crypto mixing service that authorities accused of enabling money laundering and sanctions evasion.
The Office of Foreign Assets Control sanctioned the platform in August 2022. Those sanctions were later lifted in November 2024.

But for Roman Storm’s defense team, the continued prosecution of the Tornado Cash co-founder remains the clearest test of whether that policy shift is real.
Speaking at the Bitcoin 2026 conference in Las Vegas, Todd Blanche told the crypto industry that the DOJ had moved away from what he characterized as prosecutions aimed at software developers merely for building tools later used by third parties. In a panel with Coinbase Chief Legal Officer Paul Grewal, Blanche said the government’s position was that criminal liability turns on conduct, knowledge and intent, not the act of coding itself.
“The basic principle is that if you are developing software, if you are a coder, if you are part of that process and you are not the third-party user and you are not helping and knowing the third party is using what you develop to commit crimes, you are not going to be investigated and not going to be charged,” Blanche said. “And obviously facts matter because if you&#8217;re laundering money or violating sanctions, the mere fact that you happen to be a coder doesn&#8217;t excuse you from criminal liability.”
The remarks were framed as part of a broader message to the crypto sector: the DOJ wants developers and platforms to believe there has been a meaningful change in enforcement posture. Grewal summarized the message from Blanche and FBI Director Kash Patel as: “Crime is criminal; code alone shouldn’t be.”
That distinction matters deeply for crypto infrastructure teams, particularly those building privacy tools, decentralized protocols and open-source software. For years, one of the industry’s core complaints has been that US prosecutors and regulators blurred the line between writing neutral code and participating in illicit use of that code. Blanche’s comments were clearly designed to address that concern.
“I really need coders to understand. I really need the industry to understand that we have fundamentally changed the game when it comes to our investigations,” Blanche said. “And if you&#8217;re a coder out there and you&#8217;re listening to me speak and you are under investigation or you have to hire a lawyer to respond to subpoenas, your lawyer should feel very comfortable communicating with the FBI, communicating with the prosecutor on the case and making sure that they are not violating my memo.”

Blanche added that such concerns could be escalated within the department, including to him directly, if prosecutors were acting inconsistently with the memo he referenced. He also acknowledged that some existing cases remain unresolved, describing them as “lingering,” “very fact-specific” and “procedurally complicated.”
Are Crypto Coders Really Safe?
That caveat is where the Roman Storm case enters the center of the debate.
According to Crypto in America reporter Eleanor Terrett, she asked Storm’s defense team whether Blanche’s comments gave them any hope. Keri Curtis Axel, a lawyer for Storm, said they did not.
“DOJ cannot credibly claim it has ‘changed the game’ while still prosecuting Roman Storm,” Axel said. “The precedent SDNY is trying to set is wholly at odds with Blanche’s memo and the President’s policies.”
The response underscores the gap between policy signaling and courtroom reality. Blanche is telling crypto developers that the department no longer intends to pursue cases based on code alone. Storm’s defense argues that the Southern District of New York’s case against him is precisely the kind of precedent that threatens developers, especially if prosecutors can treat software authorship and protocol involvement as the basis for criminal exposure when third parties misuse a tool.
Meanwhile, Blanche appeared aware that some cases are still pending. “Those cases are something that we&#8217;re continuing to deal with,” he said. “But let me make myself crystal clear that I want to put my money where my mouth is. And I expect Director Patel does as well. And when we say that we&#8217;re not conducting those type of prosecutions anymore, we mean it.”
If the Roman Storm case is one of them, remains the big open questions. Reports claim that people with Free Samourai signs were being kicked out of the Bitcoin Conference just before the panel with Blanche.

Two Teams, One Conclusion
Anza and Firedancer, two of Solana&#8217;s most widely used validator clients, have each rolled out a test version of Falcon, a post-quantum cryptographic signature scheme.
According to the teams, both groups researched the problem independently and landed on the same answer: quantum readiness is necessary, and Falcon is the right tool for the job.
Initial versions have been pushed to both clients&#8217; GitHub repositories. Data from Anza&#8217;s account shows work on Falcon stretching back to at least January 27, 2026.
The solution is built to sit dormant until needed. It can be switched on if and when quantum computers grow powerful enough to crack public-key encryption — a hypothetical threshold researchers call Q-Day.
Officials said the migration work is manageable, the transition can happen quickly when conditions demand it, and network performance is not expected to take a meaningful hit.
Why Signature Size Matters
For a high-throughput network like Solana, that last point is not a small thing. Post-quantum algorithms have generally been criticized for producing large signatures that strain bandwidth and storage — a direct threat to the kind of speed Solana is built around.
Jump Crypto, the infrastructure firm behind Firedancer, said Falcon was chosen precisely because it avoids that problem. Signing happens offchain, and verification is not complex to implement.
Falcon is not the first quantum-resistant option to appear in Solana&#8217;s orbit. Blueshift&#8217;s Winternitz Vault has offered similar protections since January 2025, but it was designed as an optional add-on for individual users rather than a network-wide protocol upgrade. What Anza and Firedancer are doing sits at a different level entirely.
The Broader Pressure
Reports indicate that urgency around quantum threats has been building. Google and researchers at the California Institute of Technology said last month that functional quantum computers may arrive sooner than previously expected and could require far less computing power to break encryption than earlier estimates suggested.
Google went further, claiming quantum machines could potentially crack Bitcoin&#8217;s cryptography within 10 minutes.
Not everyone shares that alarm. Blockstream CEO Adam Back has described today&#8217;s quantum computers as lab experiments and argues no genuine threat will surface for decades.
Scott Aaronson, a leading researcher in quantum computing theory, generally agrees with Back, that quantum computers are not close to breaking systems like Bitcoin.
Aaronson argues that today’s machines are still far from the scale needed for real cryptographic threats, even if long-term preparation remains important.

In a video published on April 27, 2026, the Cardano founder framed the clash as broader than a disagreement over governance or treasury funding. Hoskinson said criticism of him or Input Output was fair game, but accused Iagon’s leadership of moving the dispute into harassment of volunteers and community participants connected to Midnight, the privacy-focused project associated with the Cardano ecosystem.
Hoskinson Says Iagon Leadership Crossed A Line In Cardano Dispute
“I have red lines. There’s not many of them, but if you cross them, I will always behave the same way,” Hoskinson said. “If you accuse me of criminal conduct, illegal activity, and you’re more than just an anonymous internet troll, you actually have a following and so forth, we of course will respond to that up to and including litigation.”
Hoskinson tied that first red line to the earlier ADA voucher controversy, saying Input Output had been accused of criminal conduct before being “exonerated with an audit.” He described that period as “a very dark time in the history of Cardano.”
The second line, he said, involves attacks on people affiliated with projects Input Output is building or supporting. According to Hoskinson, disagreements with him or his company should not be extended to volunteers, ambassadors or community members who are participating in those projects.
“Do not attack our ambassadors. Not once, not ever. Do not bully them. Do not harass them,” he said. “Do not harass them on Twitter and bring them into the court of public opinion for a Twitter mob to tear them apart and claim that they’re bought and sold and owned by me. It’s disgusting.”
The dispute appears to center on Iagon’s opposition to Input Output-related funding proposals and its conduct around Midnight. Hoskinson said Iagon’s CEO first voted to defund Input Output and then, in his view, pressured Midnight ambassadors or sought to discourage them from participating. He also criticized Iagon’s CTO, saying the executive had supported defunding Input Output while claiming the company was “evil” because of Hoskinson.
Hoskinson stressed that voting against a funding proposal was not itself the issue. He noted that other Cardano entities, including the Cardano Foundation and Emurgo, have abstained or voted against proposals in the past. The line, he argued, was crossed when the dispute became personal toward community members.
He also suggested that Iagon’s leadership may be preparing to move away from Cardano, pointing to prior “multi-chain” messaging and the intensity of the current conflict. Hoskinson said he had no animus toward Iagon token holders, but said he had lost confidence in the project’s current leadership.
“I do not have any faith in the leadership, ethics or integrity of the Iagon principles at the moment based upon their statements and conduct,” he said. “It seems to be deeply unstable and bizarre. Thus, it doesn’t give me high confidence they’re going to be able to deliver on their mission.”
Hoskinson said Input Output would respond by supporting more decentralized infrastructure options for Cardano. He named Filecoin and Walrus as projects with which he intends to build relationships, and said he would like to see Blockfrost contribute additional capabilities as well.
That infrastructure push comes as Cardano’s governance and funding process remains under pressure. Hoskinson said the total fiat value of the current coalition’s proposals, including Input Output and vendors working with it, is now below $50 million, compared with $97.5 million for Input Output’s proposals last year. He framed that as a major efficiency improvement, while acknowledging that lower ADA prices forced cuts and difficult decisions.
Despite the dispute, Hoskinson said he remains encouraged by Cardano’s direction, citing Bitcoin DeFi, Midnight, new venture capital involvement, dedicated marketing discussions, open-source infrastructure plans and ecosystem KPIs from the Intersect KPI committee.
He closed by saying the Iagon matter was now finished from his side. Further engagement, he said, would be met with blocks rather than debate.
At press time, ADA traded at $0.2473.

Bitmine paid an average price above $3,600 per ETH across its holdings, while Ethereum currently trades around $2,300 — a gap that has widened as the broader crypto market remains under pressure.
Yet rather than pulling back, the company bought more last week than it ever has in a single week this year.
Bitmine acquired 101,901 ETH between April 20 and April 27, pushing its total holdings to 5,078,386 ETH.
According to a press release from the company, this marks a new record for weekly buying pace in 2026, edging past the 101,627 ETH it purchased the week before. That previous week had itself been the largest single-week buy of the year at the time.

10 Months To Reach A Historic Milestone
Lee called the 5 million ETH milestone &#8220;astonishing,&#8221; noting it took the company just 10 months to reach it. He said Bitmine is moving toward a longer-term goal of holding 5% of the total ETH supply — a target that would require acquiring millions more tokens at current supply levels.
Part of the recent accumulation included a direct purchase from the Ethereum Foundation. Reports indicate Bitmine bought 10,000 ETH from the Foundation in an over-the-counter transaction, as the Foundation continues selling holdings to fund its operations.
Lee pointed to several research reports as the basis for his bullish stance on ETH. He argues the asset is becoming a store of value and will increasingly be held as collateral as crypto spreads through mainstream finance.
He also cited demand from AI agents that rely on public, neutral blockchains as another growth driver for Ethereum.
Lee added that ETH has outpaced the S&amp;P 500 in performance since the start of the US-Iran conflict and called it one of the best-performing assets in the world during that period, behind only crude oil.
BMNR Stock Holds Steady Despite Heavy Losses On Paper
Shares of Bitmine — traded under the ticker BMNR — were up roughly 1% at around $22 at Monday&#8217;s market open, according to TradingView data.
The gains were modest. The stock remains down more than 20% year-to-date, tracking closely with ETH&#8217;s own decline of roughly 20% over the same stretch.
Despite the losses, Bitmine shows no signs of slowing its buying. The company&#8217;s latest purchase signals that management views the current price as an opportunity, not a warning.

US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve May Get An Update Soon
Speaking Monday at the Bitcoin 2026 conference in Las Vegas, Witt said the government has been working through the legal and operational details needed to formalize how federally held Bitcoin should be protected and treated on the balance sheet. His comments point to a near-term policy move from the administration, even as lawmakers continue working on legislation to codify the reserve in statute.
“The President signed the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Executive Order last year, and we&#8217;ve gone to work in figuring out exactly the machinations necessary and legal interpretations that we need to get that right and solidify that and protect the digital assets, but specifically Bitcoin, that we have on the government balance sheet,” Witt said. “So in the next few weeks, we&#8217;ll be making a big announcement. I think we have a bit of a breakthrough there, and obviously that needs to be followed up with legislation.”
The executive order, signed on March 6, 2025, established the Strategic BTC Reserve and a separate US Digital Asset Stockpile. It directed that forfeited government Bitcoin placed into the reserve “shall not be sold” and called for Treasury and Commerce to develop budget-neutral strategies for acquiring additional Bitcoin without imposing incremental taxpayer costs.
That structure is central to why Witt framed the coming announcement as a step forward, but not the final stage. The administration can move on custody, agency coordination and legal interpretation through executive authority, but a more durable reserve policy would likely require Congress to act.
“Senator Lummis&#8217; Bitcoin Act over in the House, Representative Begich has talked about the ARMA Act that he has put together, so we need to codify it,” Witt said. “But in the meantime, we do believe we&#8217;re going to be able to take a big step forward from the executive branch side in the next few weeks.”

The legislative track is also moving. On another panel, Rep. Nick Begich said legislation to establish a US strategic Bitcoin reserve is set to be reintroduced in the next few weeks under a new name: the American Reserves Modernization Act, or ARMA.
Begich said the proposal builds on the Bitcoin Act originally introduced by Sen. Cynthia Lummis in the 118th Congress and reintroduced in the Senate in the current 119th Congress. Begich said his office has been working with Lummis’ team and the House Financial Services Committee on revisions aimed at improving the bill’s path through Congress. Begich and Lummis previously introduced the BITCOIN Act of 2025 in March 2025, describing it as legislation to establish a Strategic BTC Reserve in law.
“And why the renaming? Because it&#8217;s so important for people both in Congress and across the nation to understand what we&#8217;re actually trying to do,” Begich said. “We&#8217;re trying to make sure that Bitcoin is treated like the reserve asset that it is. We want to make sure that we have a place to store our Bitcoin, that that Bitcoin is going to be held for a long period of time, that it&#8217;s going to be prevented from being attached, right?”
Begich said the goal is to prevent the reserve from becoming another short-term political instrument. In his description, ARMA would identify where BTC is held across government agencies, place it into responsible custody, and restrict the ability to lend against it or subject it to shifting reserves policy.
At press time, BTC traded at $76,941.

Strategy Has Added 3,273 BTC To Its Bitcoin Reserves
As announced by Strategy co-founder and chairman Michael Saylor in an X post, the company has furthered its Bitcoin accumulation with a fresh acquisition of 3,273 BTC. Strategy spent $77,906 per token or a total of $255 million to assemble this stack.
According to the filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, this buying took place in the week between April 20th and 26th and was fueled by sales of the firm&#8217;s MSTR at-the-market (ATM) stock offering.
Following the buy, Strategy&#8217;s holdings have grown to 818,334 BTC, equivalent to nearly 4.09% of the cryptocurrency&#8217;s total supply in circulation. In total, the company has invested $61.81 billion into the cryptocurrency, putting the average acquisition price per token at $75,537.
The price crash back in February had meant that Bitcoin declined below Strategy&#8217;s cost basis, but the latest rally has taken the asset back above it. Thus, the new acquisition has come while the firm has been sitting on profit for the first time in a while.
Strategy continues to be the biggest corporate holder of Bitcoin, having a lead of more than 770,000 BTC over the second-largest firm.
Another Bitcoin treasury company has also announced a buy today: Strive. As the firm&#8217;s chairman and CEO Matt Cole shared in an X post, Strive has acquired 789 BTC for $61.43 million, taking its total reserves to 14,557 BTC. From the above table, it&#8217;s visible that the company is currently the ninth largest public holder of the cryptocurrency.
While Strive has announced a new buy, digital asset accumulation from corporates has lagged in 2026 when compared to 2025. The reason behind this is naturally down to the fact that the market has gone through a major drawdown since Q4 2025.
Amid this decline, Strategy has been the only consistent buyer of Bitcoin. Though, that doesn&#8217;t apply to the digital asset sector at large, with Bitmine occupying a similar place as Strategy in the Ethereum treasury sector.
Bitmine was originally a Bitcoin mining-focused firm, but the company pivoted to an ETH treasury strategy last year. Since then, it has gone on an aggressive buying spree, announcing regular purchases on Mondays like Michael Saylor&#8217;s firm.
This Monday has also seen the announcement of an acquisition from the company. &#8220;In the past week, we acquired 101,901 ETH, which is the highest pace of buys since the week of December 15, 2025,&#8221; said Thomas &#8220;Tom&#8221; Lee, Bitmine chairman.
The firm&#8217;s holdings have reached the 5.078 million ETH mark, which is equivalent to 4.21% of the cryptocurrency&#8217;s total supply in circulation.
BTC Price
At the time of writing, Bitcoin is floating around $76,700, down 2% in the last seven days.

A Month Of Mounting Capital
April has been a turning point for Bitcoin ETFs. After a difficult start to 2026 marked by heavy redemptions, the products have attracted more than $2.6 billion this month alone — nearly double what came in during March.
The week ending April 24 brought in $823 million in net new capital, the fourth straight week of positive flows. The prior week posted $996 million, while earlier in the month saw $786 million, and a modest $22 million in the first week of April.
Together, those figures pushed total Bitcoin ETF assets from $86 billion at the start of the month to $102 billion by April 24, according to data tracked by SoSoValue.
The scale of buying has overwhelmed supply from miners. Over just eight trading days, ETF products absorbed close to 19,000 BTC — well beyond what new mining activity added to circulation during that period.
BlackRock Leads The Charge
One fund has driven much of the momentum. BlackRock&#8217;s iShares Bitcoin Trust, known as IBIT, pulled in around $733 million of the week&#8217;s total $824 million in inflows. That means a single product accounted for nearly 90 cents of every dollar that flowed into Bitcoin ETFs during the week.
IBIT&#8217;s dominance helped push the broader market past the $100 billion mark in total assets under management.
Bitcoin itself has been trading in a recovery mode. After dipping toward the low $60,000s in February amid broader market uncertainty and earlier ETF outflows, the price climbed back above $78,000.
As of Monday morning, BTC was changing hands around $77,810, having briefly touched $79,40 before pulling back. That is still a long way from its all-time high of approximately $126,195, reached in November 2025.
Other Crypto ETFs Join The Rally
The buying has extended beyond Bitcoin. Spot Ethereum ETFs posted $155 million in inflows for the week, their third consecutive weekly gain. Products tracking Solana and XRP added $9.4 million and $15.7 million, respectively, suggesting broader appetite for regulated digital asset exposure.
Not every fund is benefiting. Grayscale&#8217;s GBTC continued to see outflows, a sign that capital is flowing unevenly across issuers.
Analysts also point to ongoing risks: potential policy shifts under US President Donald Trump&#8217;s administration and signals from the Federal Reserve could still shake investor confidence.
For now, though, the numbers tell a story of sustained institutional interest returning to the Bitcoin ETF market after a rocky winter.

BitGo Says Here Are The 5 Fixes For Successful Rollout</title><description><![CDATA[Following the US Treasury Department and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) proposal rules for the GENIUS Act—the country’s first stablecoin bill—Bitcoin (BTC) custodian BitGo has submitted its formal comments to the OCC. 
BitGo Pushes OCC On GENIUS Act Changes
In a social media post on Monday, BitGo called the GENIUS Act a landmark, but emphasized that landmark bills still need careful implementation to succeed. 
The company argued that several parts of the OCC’s proposed rules would benefit from adjustments, listing five areas in which it believes the draft approach needs refinement.
First, BitGo said the rules should recognize that banks already operate a structure for co-branded financial products under a single legal entity. 
In its comments, the firm argued that forcing a separate legal entity for every brand would create additional compliance burdens, while not necessarily improving consumer protections.
Second, BitGo said the interest prohibition in the GENIUS Act needs clearer safe harbors. While the law is designed to prevent stablecoins from paying interest, BitGo argued that the OCC’s current proposed rules could unintentionally sweep in arrangements that are not really about yield. 
BitGo is therefore asking for explicit safe harbors, a 30-day review timeline, and clear appeal rights so that routine commercial programs are not caught up in interpretations that regulators did not intend.
Stablecoin Oversight Concerns
Third, the Bitcoin custodian pushed back on the proposed reserve concentration limit, arguing that the rule should not require reserves to be placed in “riskier” banking institutions. 
Under the OCC’s draft approach, a 40% single-institution concentration limit would apply equally to Federal Reserve (Fed) Banks and to Global Systemically Important Banks (G-SIBs), which BitGo described as among the safest counterparties in the US financial system. 
BitGo warned that exempting Fed accounts and G-SIBs from the cap entirely would better align with risk reduction, contending that forcing major issuers to shift reserves into smaller regional banks would increase risk rather than lower it.
Fourth, the company said the proposed automatic redemption freeze mechanism in the GENIUS Act framework could actually trigger the kind of market stress it is meant to prevent. 
Under the OCC’s proposal, if an issuer receives redemption requests that exceed 10% of outstanding issuance within 24 hours, the issuer would face an automatic seven-day freeze, even if it already has sufficient liquidity to meet redemption demand within the normal timeframe. 
BitGo argued that, for a fully liquid issuer capable of satisfying redemption requests on schedule, the freeze would be unnecessary and could manufacture panic in situations where the issuer could have handled redemptions without disruption. 
Fifth, BitGo said a proposed reporting requirement about identifying stablecoin holders on public blockchains is not technically feasible in a way that would satisfy regulatory goals without creating additional enforcement risk. 
The OCC’s GENIUS Act proposal includes weekly reporting on the top 100 holders and traders, and BitGo argued that permissionless networks use pseudonymous wallet addresses by design. 
BitGo said compliance would likely force issuers to provide speculative, probabilistic estimates, which could mislead regulators and expose companies to liability for errors outside their control. In the company’s view, the requirement should be limited to KYC-onboarded customers only.

Western Union Plants Its Flag In Digital Payments
That network — called DAN, short for Digital Asset Network — sits at the center of a broader push by the 175-year-old money transfer company to make digital assets a permanent part of how it moves money.
At the core of the effort is USDPT, a US dollar-backed stablecoin the company first announced in October 2025. Built on the Solana blockchain and issued by Anchorage Digital Bank, USDPT is now in its final stages of preparation, with a live launch expected in May.
President and CEO Devin McGranahan made the timeline clear during the company&#8217;s first-quarter earnings call Friday. &#8220;It is no longer a question of if Western Union will be active in digital assets,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It is now how fast can we scale.&#8221;
Western Union to Launch Solana-Based Stablecoin USDPT Next Month

— Wu Blockchain (@WuBlockchain) April 27, 2026
Exchange partners will handle access, conversion, and distribution of USDPT. Banking and financial institution partners in key corridors will manage direct settlement and treasury functions.
McGranahan said the combined partner pipeline reaches tens of millions of crypto wallets globally — a distribution channel he described as a direct solution to moving from crypto to cash safely and at scale.
A Stablecoin Market Already Worth $320 Billion
Western Union is entering a market dominated by two players. Tether&#8217;s USDT holds a market cap above $189 billion. Circle&#8217;s USDC follows at $77 billion. Sky Dollar sits a distant third at $8 billion, according to DeFi analytics platform DefiLlama. US dollar-denominated stablecoins account for the vast majority of the $320 billion total stablecoin market.
Western Union isn&#8217;t positioning USDPT as a rival to those giants. The token is intended to serve as the backbone of its own payment and settlement infrastructure — not a standalone financial product.
Reports indicate that banks and corporations across Europe are also actively selecting infrastructure partners as stablecoin adoption picks up among traditional financial institutions.
Stable Card And Broader Ambitions Round Out The Plan
Beyond USDPT and DAN, Western Union plans to launch a US dollar stable card later this year. The card would allow users to hold and spend stablecoins directly.
McGranahan said the path forward is focused on scaling adoption and embedding digital assets more deeply into Western Union&#8217;s core money movement platform.

Satoshi&#8217;s Bitcoin Not The Main Quantum Risk
In a new post on X, Capriole Investments founder Charles Edwards has talked about what the real risk of Quantum Computing could be to Bitcoin. &#8220;Quantum Computing&#8221; is an emerging class of computers that could, in theory, be used to decode encryption used to secure networks like BTC.
Quantum Computing has been an &#8220;upcoming&#8221; technology for a while now, but lately, it has gained more traction in the news following some advancements. This has naturally also encouraged discourse in the cryptocurrency community about what it could mean for digital assets.
In the context of Bitcoin, the risk that&#8217;s mainly cited is that many old wallets have their public keys exposed. Entities with Quantum computers may be able to decode private keys from these public keys, thus gaining access to the wallets.
A chunk of the supply is vulnerable to such an attack, including the tokens held by Satoshi, BTC&#8217;s pseudonymous creator. Some have speculated that a Quantum computer owner could dump these coins on the market, causing a price crash. Others, though, have argued that the sector may be able to absorb the selling pressure from these tokens.
Edwards, however, dismissed this as the primary concern. &#8220;For those who say it doesn&#8217;t matter if Satoshi&#8217;s coins get taken by a Quantum hacker, the risk is not his coins, it&#8217;s the contagion that follows,&#8221; noted the analyst.
As an example, Edwards cited the KelpDAO incident. KelpDAO is an Ethereum liquid restaking protocol that fell prey to a $290 million rsETH exploit on April 18th. The hacker took the exploited rsETH and used it to borrow WETH from the lending protocol Aave. After the market panic that ensued, the market cap of Aave&#8217;s native token suffered a sharp 20% drop. &#8220;$12B was drained from Aave TVL in days (40X the hack),&#8221; said the Capriole founder.
Similarly to this hack, if Satoshi&#8217;s tokens were brought into circulation, the effects could outweigh the market impact that those tokens alone would have due to the loss of trust. &#8220;It&#8217;s the widespread collapse in trust and ensuing bank run we need to plan for now,&#8221; explained Edwards.
The Capriole founder has been vocal about the Quantum Computing threat to Bitcoin, both online and at event presentations, urging the community to find a solution. Recently, some work on the issue has advanced, with multiple proposals already being published to counter the threat. Whether these ideas will make it to upgrades only remains to be seen.
BTC Price
Bitcoin surged above $79,000 during the weekend, but the coin has retraced to $77,700 to kick off Monday.

The agreement, announced Monday by K bank and first reported by The Korea Herald, was signed at the lender’s headquarters in Seoul. K bank CEO Choi Woo-hyung and Ripple Asia-Pacific Managing Director Fiona Murray attended the ceremony alongside officials from both companies.
K Bank Taps Ripple For Blockchain Remittance Tests
The partnership centers on whether Ripple’s global network and blockchain infrastructure can improve the speed, cost efficiency and transparency of K bank’s overseas remittance system. For Ripple, the deal extends its long-running institutional payments strategy into South Korea’s digital banking market. For K bank, it gives the lender a live testing track for blockchain-based cross-border settlement at a time when stablecoins and tokenized payment rails are becoming a more serious part of bank-level infrastructure discussions.
“We are pleased to partner with K bank, which has helped set the standard for digital banking in Korea and continues to drive innovation,” Murray said. “This partnership will help strengthen K bank’s competitiveness in blockchain-based overseas remittance technology,” Choi said.
K bank is already conducting a proof of concept with Ripple for overseas remittances. According to the bank, the first phase tested transfers through a separate application, while the second phase is now assessing transaction stability by virtually linking customer accounts with internal systems. That detail is notable because it suggests the project is moving beyond a standalone test environment and toward a model that examines how blockchain-based remittance infrastructure could interact with bank-side account architecture.
The second phase will also test on-chain transfers with partners in the United Arab Emirates and Thailand. K bank has signed memorandums of understanding in both markets for stablecoin-based transactions, according to the report. That gives the Ripple partnership a broader regional angle: the work is not only about improving a domestic Korean bank’s remittance stack, but also about testing how blockchain rails may function across specific cross-border corridors.
The wallet component is also part of the experiment. K bank used an in-house wallet in the first phase of the proof of concept, but plans to use Ripple’s SaaS-based digital wallet, Palisade, in the second phase. The goal is to test a faster and more scalable model for compliance and deployment, according to the bank.
Notably, Ripple has expanded deeper into stablecoin infrastructure after launching RLUSD in 2024. It has applied for a US trust bank charter, with the approval process still underway.
At press time, XRP traded at $1.41.

Here’s The Truth About What Happened</title><description><![CDATA[The latest threat to Bitcoin&#8217;s cryptography is quantum computing. A researcher called Giancarlo Lelli has now won a one Bitcoin prize for using quantum hardware to crack a small cryptographic key linked to the same family of mathematics that protects Bitcoin. 
This sounds terrifying at first glance, as it threatens the future of billions worth of Bitcoin. However, it also needs careful handling, because the truth is more complicated than breaking Bitcoin’s encryption.
Researcher Makes Successful Attack On Elliptic Curve Cryptography
The event came from Project Eleven’s Q-Day Prize, which was awarded to independent researcher Giancarlo Lelli. Lelli used publicly available quantum hardware to break a 15-bit elliptic curve cryptography key, using a variant of Shor’s algorithm to derive a private key from a public one. 
The previous public quantum attack record was a 6-bit cryptographic key in September 2025, which means Lelli&#8217;s 15-bit result extends the record by a factor of 512 in complexity. 
Interestingly, the hardware involved was not a classified government system or a private supercomputer. Lelli ran the attack on a publicly accessible quantum device with about 70 qubits, completing it in only 45 minutes.
The implications tie directly into how BTC’s security model is structured. That matters because Bitcoin relies on the same elliptic curve cryptography that was broken. 
According to Project Eleven, an estimated 6.9 million BTC valued at about $520 billion, are held in addresses where the public keys have already been revealed on-chain. This includes the roughly 1.1 million BTC attributed to Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto. Advances like these raise concerns about how soon such holdings could become vulnerable, bringing forward timelines to when they can be under threat from bad actors.
Is Bitcoin’s Encryption Broken?
A 512x jump in seven months is the kind of progress curve that tends to get people&#8217;s attention. Progress at that pace suggests the computational threshold required to challenge BTC may be very close. However, Bitcoin does not use 15-bit keys. Bitcoin’s real security operates at a 256-bit scale, which is vastly beyond what was broken in this experiment.
Project Eleven CEO Alex Pruden noted that &#8220;The resource requirements for this type of attack keep dropping, and the barrier to running it in practice is dropping with them.”
Still, theoretical resource estimates for a full 256-bit attack have fallen massively over the past year. Google&#8217;s April 2026 whitepaper put the requirement at under 500,000 physical qubits. A subsequent paper from Caltech and Oratomic brought that figure as low as 10,000 qubits in a neutral-atom architecture. 
The quantum threat does not mean every Bitcoin wallet is equally vulnerable. The most discussed risk involves wallets whose public keys have already been exposed on-chain. Recent developments have given rise to the concept of &#8220;harvest now, decrypt later,&#8221; where bad actors are compiling public keys and waiting for future quantum computers to catch up.

The price action is improving — but a CryptoQuant analysis has identified a development in the network data that suggests the current price level may be telling an incomplete story about where Ethereum actually stands.
The analysis examines Ethereum&#8217;s active addresses — the number of unique wallets engaging with the network on a daily basis. The 100-day moving average of that metric has just reached an all-time high of approximately 587,000 active addresses. Not a multi-year high. Not a cycle high. An all-time high — a level of sustained daily network engagement that Ethereum has never seen before in its history.
The timing creates a divergence that the data describes as unprecedented. Ethereum&#8217;s price is sitting more than 50% below the peak it reached in October. Its network usage, measured by the most sustained and smoothed version of the active address metric, is at a record. The two have never been this far apart in the same direction at the same time.
Historically, that gap has not persisted. According to CryptoQuant, there has always been a strong positive correlation between active address growth and Ethereum&#8217;s price — and the current deviation from that correlation is the most significant the data has ever recorded.
The Network Is Growing. The Price Has Not Caught Up Yet
The CryptoQuant report draws a distinction that separates the current environment from a standard bear market narrative. In typical downturns, price weakness and network weakness move together — fewer users, lower activity, reduced engagement. What the active address data is showing for Ethereum is the opposite. The continuous ascent of the 100-day moving average to a new all-time high reflects growing fundamental demand, expanding adoption, and an ecosystem that is becoming more active precisely when sentiment is most negative.
That behavioral pattern — real users continuing to utilize the blockchain while prices decline — is the on-chain equivalent of a business growing its customer base during a recession. The market may be pricing Ethereum as though the underlying demand is weakening. The network data says the underlying demand is at a record.
The undervaluation implication follows directly from the historical relationship the report identifies. Asset prices tend to track fundamental network utility over the long term. When they diverge — when the price falls while utility rises — the gap has historically closed in favor of the utility signal rather than the price signal. Ethereum&#8217;s price has moved away from its network fundamentals, not the other way around.
The report describes this as a hidden bullish signal — hidden because it is visible only to participants who look beneath the price chart. The bearish sentiment surrounding Ethereum reflects what the price has done. The active address record reflects what the network is actually doing. Over time, those two things have always converged. The question the current setup raises is not whether they will, but how long the gap can persist before the price catches up to where the usage already is.
Ethereum Reclaims Support but Faces Overhead Trend Resistance
Ethereum is stabilizing near $2,320 after recovering from the sharp February drawdown, but the broader structure remains mixed. The rebound from sub-$1,800 levels formed a clear higher low, yet price is now stalling directly into a cluster of resistance defined by the 50-week and 100-week moving averages. Both indicators are flattening but still act as dynamic ceilings, limiting upside momentum.
The 200-week moving average, currently trending upward below price, continues to serve as long-term structural support. ETH’s ability to hold above this level during the correction reinforces that the macro trend has not fully broken, even as medium-term weakness persists.
Price action since March shows a transition from impulsive selling to range-bound consolidation. The recovery leg has been orderly, with higher lows and controlled advances rather than aggressive expansion. However, the inability to reclaim the $2,600–$2,800 zone — where previous breakdown acceleration occurred — suggests that supply remains active on rallies.
Volume confirms this interpretation. The capitulation spike marked forced liquidations, while the recovery phase has seen declining participation, pointing to cautious accumulation rather than strong conviction.
For the structure to turn decisively bullish, Ethereum must reclaim and hold above the 100-week moving average. Until then, the market remains in a transitional phase between recovery and continuation risk.

Meanwhile, underneath the price performance, a critical junction may be forming for the flagship cryptocurrency asset, which could determine the next potential price direction.
How The Bitcoin Price Dynamics Are Playing Out
While Bitcoin&#8217;s price is displaying renewed upward strength, a key on-chain metric is hinting at the asset nearing an important confluence zone. This region, where several indicators and technical levels coincide, frequently serves as a pivotal battlefield for buyers and sellers.
These zones have historically seen significant price movements as market factors come together and volatility starts to increase. According to Darkfost, a verified author at the CryptoQuant platform, this trend can be observed through the Bitcoin Supply Distribution Heatmap. 
The metric combines three interesting elements, such as the Distribution Clusters, which measure buying and selling activity, the True Market Mean Price, and the Short-Term Holder Cost Basis. At the moment, Bitcoin is trading within a white zone as seen on the chart, where relatively little exchange activity has taken place.
Currently, this confluence zone has extended up to $83,000, a level that many investors reacted to in the past and which could also act as resistance. At the same time, both the Short-Term Holders Cost Basis and the True Mean Price are trending around $79,000. This level continues to act as resistance as well, capping off upward attempts.
In the expert’s view, the adjusted short-term holders&#8217; cost basis is closer to the $83,000 mark after taking into consideration the Bitcoin that Coinbase shifted. Darkfost believes that for a potential continued upward move, BTC must test these levels soon. Its reaction here is one that the expert considers a crucial signal to monitor.
BTC’s Price Trending In A Rising Channel
A key Rising Channel pattern has emerged on the Bitcoin 4-hour time frame chart as the asset continues its uptrend. Following his examination of the price on the chart, Ali Charts, a seasoned market expert and trader, highlighted that BTC is now consolidating within this rising channel.
As seen on the chart, the asset faced rejection at the upper boundary of the pattern, which forced its price to return to test the lower support zone at roughly $77,000. While BTC has broken past $77,000, this level remains the primary structural barrier for the current trend. At this point, buyers must defend this level in order for the rising channel to remain valid.
Should this floor hold, Ali Charts claims that it could serve as a strategic rebound zone to send BTC back toward the mid-range near the channel at $81,500. A secondary target is still highlighted at the top of the channel at roughly $84,500. In the meantime, a decisive close below $77,000 would signal a breakdown of this short-term structure and invalidate the optimistic outlook.

Those involved in negotiating the crypto bill have said throughout the month that progress is picking up, with May potentially marking a key turning point in the Senate. 
However, a recent Politico report suggests that the biggest hurdle may no longer be the inclusion of stablecoin-specific language. Instead, Democrats are vowing to block progress unless a bipartisan agreement on ethics provisions is reached, specifically restrictions aimed at preventing Trump from being involved in crypto activity. 
CLARITY Act Crossroads
Senator Ruben Gallego, a Democrat who supports the overall legislation and has worked on the ethics negotiations, summed up the leverage Democrats are using. As he stated, there is “no final bill” and “no final movement” unless the ethics issue is agreed to in a bipartisan way.
The CLARITY Act&#8217;s ethics debate has grown more urgent because the Trump family’s crypto businesses are at the center of growing frustration among lawmakers on the left. 
Those businesses are described as representing more than $1 billion of the family’s wealth, and critics argue that “a light-touch regulatory regime” for the digital asset industry could enrich the first family.
The White House has repeatedly said there is no conflict of interest for the President. Senate Republicans have also largely defended him against attacks tied to his family’s crypto holdings. Even so, both parties appear to understand that a deal is necessary to clear the path for the bill. 
Per the report, there is a shared awareness that if Republicans lose either chamber of Congress, the long-standing industry push to restructure oversight—splitting responsibilities for crypto trading between Wall Street regulators—would become far harder to achieve.
At this point, it is still uncertain whether Democrats can secure an arrangement that both Senate Republicans and the White House accept—particularly one that would meaningfully limit the Trump family’s crypto business involvement.
Ethics Fight Becomes Last Major Hurdle
Another complication is the legislative process itself. Republicans on the Senate Banking Committee have said they want to move the CLARITY Act forward in the coming weeks, but the ethics fight is described as one of the last outstanding issues required for the bill to gain broader bipartisan support. 
Because ethics policy is outside the Banking Committee’s jurisdiction, the committee’s CLARITY Act markup is not expected to include ethics language. 
Even so, Gallego has said that there must be clarity before the crypto bill reaches the floor—specifically, a “clear explanation” of how the ethics provisions would be handled and incorporated by the time of a markup.

Based on this analysis, he suggested that the Bitcoin bottom isn’t in, despite the recent rally, with BTC set to 
Diminishing Cycle Analysis Points To Bitcoin Bottom At $38,800
In an X post, Killa stated that the diminishing cycle analysis, which is part of the tool in the model he used to predict the Bitcoin top, points to $38,800 as the predicted bottom. He noted that this was the same model that led to his top prediction of $121,362, with BTC eventually topping at around $126,100.  
Now, the analyst’s base model outputs $38,800 as the predicted bottom. He added that to account for the same 5% variance that offset his Bitcoin top prediction, he has included two multiples of $40,740 and $42,680. Killa noted that even at the highest end of the range, $42,680, the Bitcoin bottom is still below $60,000. 
As such, Killa declared that $60,000 as the Bitcoin bottom in this bear market is very optimistic, considering the diminishing cycle analysis. He added that he will stick with his model and, regardless of everything, will be buying as much spot BTC as possible around July and August. The analyst also mentioned that anything within the $40,000 and $60,000 range is a bargain long-term and that the predictions are purely based on math and patterns. 
This analysis suggested that BTC’s recent rally to almost $80,000 may be a bull trap, with BTC likely to still drop lower in the long term. The leading crypto and the broader crypto market are currently rallying on the back of optimism that the U.S.-Iran war could end soon. 
BTC Still Likely To Drop To At Least $50,000
Crypto analyst Doctor Profit, who had also predicted the Bitcoin top, has reiterated that Bitcoin is still likely to drop to around $50,000 despite its recent rally. In an X post, he stated that he is certain that BTC will visit higher targets in the short term. This could happen with a rally towards the $83,000 to $85,000 area, at least for the leading crypto, before it prepares for the big downside move afterward. 
Doctor Profit stated that he is still expecting targets below $50,000 in the coming months. Meanwhile, he predicted that the Fed is likely to lower rates soon, which is bearish for Bitcoin and could contribute to a move lower. The next FOMC meeting is scheduled for later this week on April 29. 
At the time of writing, the BTC price is trading at around $77,800, down in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

The recovery has been gradual but consistent, and bulls are beginning to test levels that matter. But according to on-chain analyst Axel Adler, the price is approaching a zone that carries specific structural implications — one that will determine whether the current strength represents a genuine recovery or a temporary relief that runs into a wall of pent-up selling.
The framework Adler uses compares Bitcoin&#8217;s current price to the cost basis of short-term holders — the average price at which recent buyers entered the market. In October, Bitcoin was trading well above that level, reaching $124,900, while the short-term holder cost basis sat around $112,000. The breakdown that followed was severe. At the correction&#8217;s deepest point, Bitcoin traded approximately 32% below that cost basis — meaning recent buyers were sitting on meaningful losses with no near-term relief in sight.
That picture has changed. Bitcoin is now trading around $77,800, while the short-term holder cost basis sits at approximately $82,200. The gap has narrowed to roughly $4,400 — close enough that the breakeven zone is no longer a distant target but an approaching reality.
At $82,200, thousands of underwater buyers get their money back. And in markets, participants who have been waiting to break even tend to sell the moment they can.
The Selling Pressure Has Eased. The Breakeven Wall Is Still Ahead
Adler&#8217;s second indicator adds the context that prevents the first from being read as straightforwardly bearish. The Exchange Inflow Spread — which tracks the difference between stablecoin inflows to exchanges and Bitcoin and Ethereum inflows — has improved dramatically since the October breakdown, even if the absolute reading remains negative.
The mechanics of the metric require a brief orientation. The spread is almost always negative, meaning coins consistently flow into exchanges in greater volume than stablecoins. What matters is not the sign but the direction of change. In mid-October, at the peak of the selling pressure, the 30-day spread fell to approximately -$21.3 billion. It has since recovered to approximately -$6.6 billion — an improvement of $14.7 billion from the local extreme.
In practical terms, Bitcoin and Ethereum are still entering exchanges faster than stablecoins, but the imbalance is no longer as severe as it was when the breakdown began. The pressure from coins moving toward exchanges for potential sale has eased noticeably.
Adler is careful about what this combination means and what it does not. Bitcoin approaching the $82,200 breakeven zone for short-term holders creates a specific, identifiable source of potential sell pressure. The improved exchange inflow spread reduces the ambient selling environment around it. Neither cancels the other. Together, they describe a market that has moved out of its most pressured phase but is now approaching a zone that will test how durable the recovery actually is.
This is not a bullish confirmation. It is a more manageable setup than October — and that distinction, for a market that spent months under maximum pressure, is not a small development.
Bitcoin Tests Breakout as Price Approaches Key Supply Zone
Bitcoin is extending its recovery, trading near $77,800 after a clean breakout above the mid-range resistance zone around $73,000–$74,000. That level, previously a supply area, has now flipped into support — a structurally constructive shift that confirms buyers are gaining control after the February capitulation.
The trend remains technically fragile but improving. Price has reclaimed the 50-day moving average and is pressing into the 100-day, while the 200-day moving average still trends downward above price, acting as the primary macro resistance. Until BTC reclaims that longer-term average, the broader structure remains corrective rather than fully bullish.
Momentum is steady rather than explosive. The recovery from the $63,000–$66,000 base has been characterized by higher lows and controlled advances, not impulsive expansion. Volume supports this interpretation: the capitulation spike in February marked forced selling, while the subsequent rally has occurred on more moderate participation — consistent with accumulation rather than euphoria.
The key level now sits around $78,500–$80,000. This zone aligns with prior breakdown structure and likely contains trapped supply. A rejection here would suggest the market is still range-bound, with a potential retest of $73,000. A clean break above it, however, would shift the structure toward a trend continuation, opening the path toward the low $80,000s and beyond.

After a period of increased staking, the Ethereum Foundation is showing reduced interest in ETH staking with the firm’s most recent unstaking move on Sunday.
Ethereum Foundation Unstakes Some ETH
Amid the excitement of Ethereum’s current price uptrend, a notable change in treasury activity is drawing attention to the Ethereum Foundation. The Foundation is once again in the spotlight as the firm unstakes a portion of its ETH holdings.
According to a report from Crypto Rover on the social media platform X, the Foundation unstaked ETH worth over $48.9 million. This action indicates a strategic change in the foundation&#8217;s asset management, possibly to support operational requirements, rebalance exposure, or react to changing market conditions. 
When big firms unstake a portion of their ETH holdings, especially during upside price action, it often points to incoming selling activity. Crypto Rover stated that this move implies that the unstaked ETH can now potentially be sold. The expert’s narrative is also backed by the fact that the Foundation recently sold over 10,000 ETH to Bitmine Immersion Technologies a few days ago.
Even though the unstaking only makes up a small portion of its entire assets, the foundation&#8217;s influence within the ecosystem makes such activity one to be monitored very closely. A continued unstaking by large firms could play a role in shaping ETH’s trajectory in the long term.
Ethereum Foundation may be unstaking in the face of bullish price performance, but Bitmine Immersion has continued to increase its staked ETH holdings. During the weekend, the leading treasury company run by Tom Lee sacked another 112,040 ETH valued at approximately $259.6 million.
Following the move, Bitmine has now staked over 3,701,589 ETH, worth a staggering $8.58 billion at current prices. Crypto Patel stated that this figure represents about 74.38% of the total ETH holdings, which is currently generating a notable yield. Despite being one of the largest ETH treasury firms, Bitmine is still demonstrating robust interest and demand for the altcoin, reflecting its conviction toward ETH’s long-term prospects.
Fees Are Surging On Ethereum Again
After a period of heightened activity, fees are surging once again on the Ethereum network. This development signals rising demand for block space as users vie for faster transaction processing. However, Stacy Muur, the founder of Greendots and a market researcher, revealed that the wrong factors are driving the surging fees.
According to the researcher, this rise appears to be more like crisis-driven activity rather than fresh capital moving on-chain. Since the Kelp rsETH exploit last week, participants’ sentiment has shifted as they moved to withdraw, repay, and move funds out of the network.
Despite being the primary hub for Decentralized Finance (DeFi), most of that panic activity was executed on Ethereum. As a result, Muur stated that high fees on the ETH network imply healthy growth.

The president also spoke about the CLARITY Act during the meeting and promised to sign it as soon as it passes in Congress. 
Donald Trump Comments On Obligation To Support Crypto Industry
According to a Reuters report, Donald Trump mentioned, following his appearance at the TRUMP coin conference, that he felt an obligation to support the crypto industry. He stated that as president, he has to be able to ensure that all industries in the country do well. The president also remarked that crypto is a big industry that has actually become somewhat mainstream. 
Donald Trump was a speaker at the TRUMP meme coin conference, to which the top 297 TRUMP coin holders attended. The president has, on several occasions, spoken about the industry and Bitcoin, and about how he wants to make the U.S. the crypto capital of the world. 
According to White House correspondent Sander Lutz, Donald Trump spoke about the CLARITY Act as part of his speech to TRUMP coin holders, although he didn’t give any specifics. He stated that he wants the crypto bill passed and that he would sign it immediately. However, Lutz noted that some in the industry had hoped the president had more news about the bill. 
Donald Trump’s speech at the TRUMP coin conference comes as the CLARITY Act remains stalled in the Senate, with the Senate Banking Committee yet to mark up the bill. It is worth noting that the banking and crypto industries continue to clash over the stablecoin yield text, with banks calling for a broad ban on stablecoin rewards. 
Prior to the TRUMP coin conference, Donald Trump had called out the banking industry and asked them to reach a deal with the industry as soon as possible. Meanwhile, the White House Council of Economic Advisers released a report affirming that stablecoin yields won’t harm banks.  
Other Subjects In The President’s Speech
Donald Trump also reportedly spoke about the U.S.-Iran war and former President Joe Biden at the TRUMP coin conference. The president has been known to always allude to the Biden administration’s war on the crypto industry, which involved several SEC lawsuits, including the one against payment firm Ripple. 
Meanwhile, amid the TRUMP coin conference, it is worth noting that the president and his meme coin creators have faced criticism with the coin down over 90% from its all-time high (ATH) of $75. 
At the time of writing, the TRUMP coin is trading at around $2.56, down over 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Instead, a sharp critique from Google quantum researcher Craig Gidney has turned the competition itself into the story.
In an April 25 blog post titled “The predictable failure of the QDay Prize,” Gidney, a research scientist on Google’s quantum computing team, argued that the winning submission did not meaningfully demonstrate progress toward a cryptographically relevant quantum attack. His central claim was blunt: the contest was structured around a benchmark that current quantum computers are poorly suited to measure.
Bitcoin’s Quantum Threat Debate Explodes
Project Eleven had announced the previous day that it awarded the Q-Day Prize to Giancarlo Lelli for breaking a 15-bit elliptic curve key on publicly accessible quantum hardware. The group described the result as the “largest quantum attack on elliptic curve cryptography to date” and said it represented a 512x jump from a prior 6-bit public demonstration.
For crypto markets, the framing mattered. Project Eleven explicitly linked the result to the long-term security assumptions behind Bitcoin, Ethereum, and more than $2.5 trillion in ECC-secured digital assets.
But Gidney argued that the test may have proved far less than advertised. Gidney said he was invited last year to participate in the Q-Day Prize but declined because he viewed the premise as flawed. His first objection was that Shor’s algorithm requires quantum error correction for cryptographically meaningful instances.
“Current quantum computers experience on the order of one error per thousand gates, but cryptographically relevant instances of Shor’s algorithm require billions of gates,” he wrote. “The only known way to cross this chasm is quantum error correction. There are promising quantum error correction experiments being done, but ultimately quantum error correction is still a work in progress.”
That distinction sits at the center of the dispute. In Gidney’s view, running small non-error-corrected circuits does not provide a useful proxy for breaking real-world ECC keys, because the scaling behavior is fundamentally different from the systems that would be needed to threaten Bitcoin-scale cryptography.
His second objection was more damaging for the prize result. Gidney argued that small Shor-style problems can appear to succeed even when the quantum hardware is not contributing meaningful computational value.
The issue, he said, resembles a joke paper he published for SIGBOVIK 2025, where he claimed to factor all numbers up to 255 using a quantum computer, only to show that the same success could be reproduced with randomness. He called this the “Falling With Style” problem.
“For the near future, the contribution of luck is going to massively outweigh any legitimate contribution of the quantum computer,” Gidney wrote, quoting the warning he said he gave when declining to participate. “So I suspect the winner in 2026 will be whoever did the best job at obfuscating how they made themselves unavoidably lucky. You’re going to find yourself in a philosophical debate, with 100K$ on the line, over where exactly the line for a quantum computer ‘really’ breaking a key is.”
According to Gidney, that is effectively what happened.
He pointed to work by GitHub user Yuval Adam, who reportedly replaced the quantum calls in the winning submission with random calls and found that the results were “indistinguishable” from the quantum version. Gidney said the circuit construction itself looked valid, including its implementation of the ELDPC circuit from Roetteler et al. 2017, but that this made the problem more subtle rather than less serious.
“You make a correct circuit, you get the expected result, you celebrate… but you got the right answer for the wrong reason,” he wrote. “This is a fear that every competent experimentalist knows in their bones. It’s why they don’t just check that something works when it should work, they check that it breaks when it should break.”
Project Eleven Defends The Broader Aim
Project Eleven framed the winning result as a practical demonstration of the attack class that could eventually threaten Bitcoin and Ethereum. In an reaction, CEO Alex Pruden said the submission showed that “the resource requirements for this type of attack keep dropping” and that the barrier to running such experiments was falling because the work used cloud-accessible public hardware rather than private or national-lab systems.
The group also cited recent theoretical resource estimates, including Google’s April 2026 estimate of under 500,000 physical qubits for a full 256-bit attack and a later Caltech and Oratomic paper that put the figure as low as 10,000 qubits in a neutral-atom architecture. Project Eleven argued that while the distance from 15 bits to 256 bits remains large, the gap is increasingly an engineering problem rather than a fundamental physics problem.
Pruden later acknowledged Gidney’s critique on X, writing that “small factoring problems are a very imperfect yardstick for Q-Day.” Still, he defended the purpose of the competition as an attempt to bridge a gap between quantum researchers who see rapid acceleration and cryptographers or Bitcoin developers who want stronger evidence before treating current systems as near-term vulnerable.
“So, since small factoring problems aren&#8217;t a good yardstick for Q-Day, then what is?” Pruden wrote. “I’ll happily take feedback on how we can better incentivize open benchmarking towards Q-Day risk.”
A Credibility Problem For Quantum Risk Messaging
Gidney did not dismiss quantum risk to crypto outright. In fact, he wrote that there are “legitimate concerns” quantum computers could become cryptographically relevant before the end of the decade, pointing to post-quantum migration efforts at companies such as Google and Cloudflare.
His argument was narrower, but consequential: a weak benchmark can undermine the case it is trying to make. If a competition designed to raise awareness produces a result that critics can reproduce with randomness, it risks becoming ammunition for skeptics rather than a warning signal for the industry.
At press time, BTC traded at $77,750.

Some of the world’s biggest banks are now attaching six-figure targets to the leading cryptocurrency, and this is a major change in how Wall Street is looking at Bitcoin’s next cycle. Major banks including Citi, JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, Standard Chartered, and TD Cowen are all pointing to a future where the BTC price trades well above current levels, with several projections clustered between $140,000 and $200,000.
Banks And Their 6-Figure Predictions For Bitcoin
Not long ago, the words &#8220;fraud&#8221; and “ponzi scheme” were the most popular way Wall Street described Bitcoin. The very institutions now projecting six-figure price targets spent years trying to talk investors out of the asset entirely. The most interesting BTC price projection is from Citi. Citi projected a base case of $143,000 for BTC, with its bull case reaching as high as $189,000. The forecast is tied to stronger institutional demand and the idea that Bitcoin can continue absorbing capital through ETFs.
JPMorgan’s outlook is similarly bullish, with analysts at the bank pointing to a $170,000 scenario based on Bitcoin’s valuation relative to gold. The bank’s model suggests BTC still has room to close the gap with gold as a store-of-value asset, especially if there&#8217;s continued ETF demand.
Goldman Sachs has highlighted its view as a scenario, and the number is also worth noting. Goldman&#8217;s digital assets team sees potential for Bitcoin to approach $200,000 in 2026.
Standard Chartered has taken the longest view of the group. The bank revised its 2026 year-end target to approximately $100,000, citing reduced buying from digital asset treasury companies and slowing ETF inflows. However, Standard Chartered still maintains a long-term projection of $500,000 by 2030. TD Cowen rounds out the group with a target of $140,000, which is the lowest prediction from the bunch.

Big Banks Moving Into BTC?
The contrast between Wall Street&#8217;s past posture and its current research output is interesting, mostly with JPMorgan. Back in September 2017, when Bitcoin was trading around $4,200, JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon called the cryptocurrency a fraud at an investor conference, compared it to tulip bulbs, and said he would fire in a second any trader caught dealing in it.
However, things have changed now, and reports indicate that JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. is in the process of offering cryptocurrency trading services to institutional clients. Goldman Sachs also disclosed in a regulatory filing that it owns around $1 billion worth of Bitcoin, with CEO David Solomon also confirming that he personally owns a small amount of the asset.
Citi, Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan, and Goldman Sachs have all announced new Bitcoin-related products over the past three months, spanning custody, trading, ETF filings, and direct purchases. The banks that once called BTC a fraud are now modeling its path to $200,000. According to crypto analyst Crypto Patel, that&#8217;s not adoption. That&#8217;s capitulation.

The association said it was “proud to honor Brad Garlinghouse” and described Ripple’s mission as enabling “faster, more efficient global money movement.” In its event materials, the group highlighted Ripple’s push to move, store, exchange and manage value across borders in seconds rather than days, while reducing costs and improving transparency.
Garlinghouse’s tenure at Ripple has been defined not only by product expansion, but also by the company’s long-running fight for regulatory clarity in the United States.
HBSANC described him as a central voice in the debate over digital-asset regulation and pointed to Ripple’s legal victory against the Securities and Exchange Commission as part of the backdrop for the award. The association said his leadership during that period reflected “resilience” and “steadfast conviction,” language that tracks closely with how Ripple and XRP supporters have viewed the company’s posture through the SEC case.
The award also ties Garlinghouse’s current profile back to a longer Silicon Valley career. Before joining Ripple, he held senior roles at Yahoo, where he worked on products including Yahoo Mail and Messenger, later served as president of consumer applications at AOL and was CEO of Hightail. HBSANC also referenced his widely circulated “Peanut Butter Manifesto,” the Yahoo strategy memo that became shorthand in Silicon Valley for focus and product discipline.
Notably, Harvard’s own investment arm has also disclosed crypto exposure through SEC 13F filings: Harvard Management Company cut its iShares Bitcoin Trust position by roughly 21% in the fourth quarter of 2025, but still held more than $265 million in IBIT, its largest publicly disclosed holding, while opening a new Ethereum ETF position of nearly 4 million shares valued at about $86.8 million.
At press time, XRP traded at $1.4151.

Data from Santiment shows that 34.94 million XRP left exchanges in a single 24-hour period on April 24, making it the sixth-largest exchange outflow day recorded so far in 2026.
The move comes as XRP is trading around $1.43, having clawed back from the $1.30 levels that defined much of early April. 
Millions Of XRP Leave Exchanges In Major On-Chain Signal
Exchange outflows measure the volume of tokens being withdrawn from trading platforms into private wallets, and this is a bullish move that shows holder intent to accumulate their tokens.
According to data from on-chain analytics platform Santiment, XRP investors recently went through one of their highest 24-hour accumulations from crypto exchanges so far this year. Notably, Santiment’s data shows that XRP’s latest outflow spike reached 34.94 million tokens in one day. These 34.94 million XRP tokens that flowed off exchanges rank as the sixth-largest such event within 2026 alone. 
Santiment’s XRP exchange outflow chart shows that each of the largest outflow spikes this year, occurring in early January, late January, early February, late February, and late March, was subsequently accompanied by bullish price action. In each instance, the drawdown in exchange-held supply gave way to a price recovery within days.

XRP Entering Wave 3 Expansion Setup
While on-chain data is pointing to accumulation, technical analysis from crypto analyst EGRAG CRYPTO laid out a macro-level Elliott Wave framework on the monthly chart that could guide XRP&#8217;s price trajectory through 2026 and into 2027.
The guide is based on the monthly 50 EMA, which XRP is currently holding as support. According to EGRAG, price wicked down to the 100 EMA on the monthly timeframe in the previous market cycle  before recovering. However, this cycle is unlikely to repeat that depth. 
As it stands, the 50 EMA is the primary accumulation zone, while any wick to the 100 EMA would represent what the analyst describes as a rare, once-in-a-cycle entry opportunity. The 100 EMA is currently around the $0.96 price level. 
The analyst’s bigger contention is that XRP may be moving from Wave 2 correction into Wave 3 expansion. Wave 1 constituted XRP&#8217;s initial breakout to new all-time highs in 2025, Wave 2 is the correction that the price is completing now, and Wave 3 is the expansion phase that’s about to kick off.

In Elliott Wave analysis, Wave 3 is often treated as the strongest part of a trend. The monthly chart maps Wave 3 targets using the 1.618 Fibonacci extension of Wave 1, with a projected range between $15 and $31 if the price action plays out this way.

The Litecoin Foundation confirmed that the bug has been patched and the network is fully operational.
Litecoin Attacker Attempts Double-Spend Exploits On Cross-Chain Protocols
On Saturday, April 25, the Litecoin Foundation reported in a post on the X platform that a Denial-of-Service attack occurred on its network. According to the foundation, this exploit, enabled by a zero-day bug in the network&#8217;s MimbleWimble Extension Block (MWEB) privacy layer, allowed the bad actor to attempt double-spends against cross-chain swap protocols.
The foundation explained that the vulnerability allowed non-updated mining nodes to facilitate an invalid MWEB transaction, which enabled individuals to peg out coins to third-party decentralized exchanges. This DOS attack caused a disruption to the normal operations of major mining pools, the post-mortem report read.
The Litecoin Foundation noted that the attack was mitigated through a 13-block reorganization (reorg), which reversed the invalid transactions and prevented them from being added to the blockchain. &#8220;All valid transactions during that period remain unaffected,&#8221; the foundation further clarified.
It is worth noting that the Litecoin Foundation didn&#8217;t identify any affected pools and didn&#8217;t specify the value of the invalid MWEB transactions created. Meanwhile, this incident comes at a time when blockchain insecurity has been rife, with the industry still reeling from the recent Kelp DAO attack.
Aurora Labs CEO: Zero-Day Or Inside Job?
Aurora Labs CEO Alex Shevchenko, who caught the Litecoin attack early, suggested that the DOS exploit had the markings of an inside job. According to the crypto founder, the attacker planned to swap LTC into ETH on a recently funded address, suggesting the exploiter knew about the bug from the outset.
Hence, the Aurora Labs CEO thinks prior knowledge defeats the whole idea of a &#8220;zero-day buy,&#8221; which means a software vulnerability unknown to the creator or the public. Shevchenko explained that the DOS attack involved putting nodes down to decrease the hashrate and was a way to exploit the buy.
Shevchenko wrote on X:
The fact that protocol automatically handled the reorg once DoS stopped (which is great) means that some portion of the hashrate was actually running an updated code. Thus, this bug was known and it&#8217;s not a zero-day.
As of this writing, the price of LTC is around $55.92, with no significant change over the past 24 hours. Despite the FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) surrounding news of this DOS attack, the altcoin dropped by about 1.2% on the day.

A Waterway And A Currency
About 20% of the world&#8217;s oil supply moves through the Strait of Hormuz. Iran announced it would accept Chinese yuan, dollar-pegged stablecoins, and Bitcoin for tolls on ships passing through.
Officials at the Bitcoin Policy Institute told reporters that Iran leans toward stablecoins — but Bitcoin has a quality stablecoins don&#8217;t. Stablecoins can be frozen by their issuers at the contract level. Bitcoin cannot. No single entity controls the network, which means no one can shut it down or block a transaction.
US Admiral Calls Bitcoin Key to Cybersecurity and Power Projection
Admiral Samuel Paparo sees Bitcoin as a strategic tool for U.S. cybersecurity and national power, emphasizing its proof-of-work advantages. (Read More)

— BTCN.it Short Crypto News (@bitcns) April 22, 2026
&#8220;This is one of the most significant situations where Bitcoin is very clearly a strategic asset,&#8221; said Sam Lyman, head of research at the BPI. He added that Iran&#8217;s preference for BTC in certain transactions comes down to one thing: no one can freeze it.
That backdrop made what happened in a Senate hearing room on Tuesday all the more pointed.
What The Admiral Said
US Navy Admiral Samuel Paparo appeared before the Senate Armed Services Committee to discuss the posture of US Indo-Pacific Command.
During testimony, he told the committee that the US government operates a Bitcoin node and described the cryptocurrency as &#8220;the combination of cryptography, a blockchain, and a proof of work&#8221; — framing it as a computer science tool and an instrument of power projection.
Lowkey love that they bamboozled the Government with Bitcoin as a Tool for National Security(tm) to the point that a decorated Admiral now sits in front of Congress babbling something about &#8220;Bitcoin as a valuable computer science project for US power projection&#8221; lmao send help https://t.co/s8dcvLssuY
— L0la L33tz (@L0laL33tz) April 21, 2026
Crypto educator Matthew Kratter was unimpressed. He said online that the admiral sounded like he was reading off a Wikipedia page. Kratter said neither Paparo nor Senator Tommy Tuberville, who was also part of the exchange, appeared to grasp what they were actually talking about.
&#8220;These two guys are talking about something they don&#8217;t understand,&#8221; Kratter wrote. &#8220;All I could think is they&#8217;re saying absolutely nothing.&#8221;
Journalist Lola Leetz called the testimony &#8220;babbling.&#8221;
Substance Behind The Criticism
The Bitcoin community&#8217;s reaction zeroed in on a basic concern: if the US military is positioning the crypto as a strategic asset, vague language about &#8220;computer science tools&#8221; and &#8220;power projection&#8221; doesn&#8217;t inspire confidence that decision-makers understand the network&#8217;s actual properties — particularly the ones that make it useful in high-stakes geopolitical situations.
Iran&#8217;s move at the Strait of Hormuz made that gap harder to ignore. Data from the Bitcoin Policy Institute shows that transactions linked to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps account for nearly half of total crypto market volume inside Iran.
That&#8217;s not a fringe use case. It&#8217;s a government and its military apparatus actively using the network — and doing so with apparent purpose.

According to different pundits, the flagship cryptocurrency&#8217;s latest rally above $79,000 was primarily driven by demand in the perpetual futures market rather than the spot market. Recent on-chain evaluation shows that the buying pressure on the Bitcoin derivatives side has yet to simmer down over the past few days.
BTC Net Taker Volume Surges To Around $145 Million
In an April 25th post on the X platform, pseudonymous analyst Darkfost revealed that the bulls have continued to dominate the Bitcoin perpetual futures market. This on-chain observation is based on a surge in the Net Taker Volume metric, which measures the difference between the volume of long (buy) and short (sell) orders in the derivatives market of a particular cryptocurrency.
The on-chain metric can be used to identify the market&#8217;s most dominant participant (buyers or sellers) at a given time. A positive Net Taker Volume metric indicates that buying volume exceeds selling volume, while a negative value suggests that sellers are overwhelming the buyers in the Bitcoin derivatives market.
Darkfost wrote on X:
Beyond simply showing whether buying or selling pressure is dominant, it also reflects the prevailing sentiment among traders.
Referencing CryptoQuant data, Darkfost revealed that the Net Taker Volume — smoothed over a month to show the real trend — stands at around $145 million. As the on-chain analyst highlighted, this metric has remained positive for nearly two months (since March 7).
In what appears to be a fairly established pattern in this cycle, Darkfost noted that whenever the metric shifts from largely dominant selling pressure and extremely negative sentiment to renewed buying pressure from the bulls, the Bitcoin price has consistently reacted with an upside move. And this has been the case for the premier cryptocurrency since the first week in March.
Looking at the prolonged duration and strength of the buy volume, Darkfost said investors could expect the current Bitcoin trend to continue for the foreseeable future, potentially pushing the price toward the $80,000 target. However, it is important to tread with caution, as the $80,000 region has proven to be a significant level of resistance over the past few days.
Bitcoin Price At A Glance
