Warren Zeroes In On The Numbers
The math doesn&#8217;t add up, according to Sen. Elizabeth Warren. With the federal funds rate sitting between 3.5% and 3.75%, X Money&#8217;s advertised 6% yield on deposits struck the Massachusetts Democrat as suspicious enough to put in writing.
In a letter sent Tuesday to Elon Musk, Warren asked how that return was even possible — and what risks customers might be taking on without knowing it.
X Money is a payments feature being built into the X social media platform. A limited beta preview has already gone out, giving Warren enough to work with.
She named Cross River Bank, X Money&#8217;s listed partner, as a point of concern. The bank has previously faced enforcement action from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Warren questioned whether the 6% yield was being funded through risky investments, aggressive data collection, or other undisclosed practices.
National Security On The Table
The letter didn&#8217;t stop at interest rates. Warren told Musk that X Money&#8217;s expected move into stablecoins and cryptocurrency could threaten the broader financial system and US national security.
Warren is a longtime critic of both the crypto industry and Musk personally, and the letter reflects both of those positions.
ELON MUSK&#8217;S ???? JUST ANNOUNCED THEY WILL SOON LAUNCH A #BITCOIN AND CRYPTO PRODUCT&#8230;
Elon Musk&#8217;s is about to launch ???? MONEY?
This will be HUGE for Crypto! pic.twitter.com/bfKKEUU3mo
— Crypto Rover (@cryptorover) April 14, 2026
At the center of her concern is a provision in the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins Act — better known as the GENIUS Act. That legislation allows private companies, including non-bank entities, to issue their own dollar-backed tokens.
Warren questioned whether X intends to use that opening to launch its own stablecoin. Based on reports, the law&#8217;s framework has drawn pushback from Democratic lawmakers who see it as too permissive toward tech companies looking to enter financial services.
Deposit Insurance Left Out Of The Picture
Warren also pressed Musk on what ordinary users would be told about federal deposit protections — or the lack of them.
FDIC Chair Travis Hill confirmed in March that stablecoin deposits held through platforms like X Money would not be covered by federal insurance under the GENIUS Act.
Hill noted the law doesn&#8217;t explicitly block pass-through insurance coverage, which would extend FDIC protection to individual users up to $250,000 in the event of a company failure. But he said allowing that would contradict the framework&#8217;s broader intent.
Warren&#8217;s letter asked whether X Money customers would be clearly informed that their funds carry no federal backstop. It&#8217;s a basic consumer question — one that hasn&#8217;t been publicly answered.
Musk has not yet responded to the letter.

The move looks straightforward on the surface — risk is on, assets are rallying, and Bitcoin is participating. But an XWIN Research Japan analysis argues that what is happening beneath the surface is considerably more interesting than a simple risk-on trade.
The report begins with a warning dressed as reassurance. The VIX has declined back to pre-conflict levels, suggesting that fear has left the market. Yet equity and bond correlations have turned positive again — meaning stocks and bonds are moving in the same direction simultaneously.
That dynamic, last seen in 2022, is the specific condition that breaks the traditional 60/40 portfolio. When the two assets that are supposed to offset each other start behaving as one, diversification stops working, and portfolio risk rises quietly while the surface looks calm.
That structural failure is redirecting attention toward alternatives — gold, commodities, and increasingly, Bitcoin. What the analysis flags as particularly notable is that Bitcoin has been holding its own price dynamics even during periods of declining fear. It is not simply tracking equities up or down. It appears to be responding to a different set of drivers entirely.
That distinction, if it holds, changes what Bitcoin is in a portfolio — and potentially what it is worth.
Bitcoin Is No Longer Playing by the Old Rules
The Coinbase Premium Index adds a layer to the analysis that is difficult to dismiss. When that indicator stays positive — meaning Ethereum and Bitcoin are trading at a premium on Coinbase relative to Binance — it reflects underlying spot demand from US investors specifically. That is not the fingerprint of traders chasing a momentum move. It looks more like deliberate, portfolio-level allocation from participants who are choosing Bitcoin as a strategic position rather than a short-term bet.
What reinforces that reading is Bitcoin&#8217;s behavior during risk-off episodes. When the VIX spikes and fear spreads through traditional markets, Bitcoin does not consistently sell off the way equities do. That inconsistency is exactly what you would expect from an asset that is being driven by factors separate from broader market sentiment — and it is precisely the property that makes a genuine diversifier valuable.
The analysis frames the current environment carefully. This is not a low-risk market. The VIX may look calm, but stocks and bonds are moving together, the 60/40 framework is quietly failing, and investors are searching for something that actually behaves differently under stress. Bitcoin, the report suggests, is increasingly fitting that description.
The thesis is not settled. But for the first time in Bitcoin&#8217;s history, the data is making a serious case for it — and the test of whether that case holds is happening right now, in real markets, with real money.
Bitcoin Tests $75K Resistance as Weekly Structure Enters a Critical Phase
Bitcoin is attempting to reclaim momentum on the weekly timeframe after a sharp correction from the $120,000–$130,000 region, which marked a clear local top in late 2025. The subsequent decline into early 2026 drove prices toward the $60,000–$65,000 range, where buyers stepped in aggressively, forming a strong reaction low with elevated volume.
Since that capitulation phase, BTC has been building a recovery structure, now trading around $74,000 and approaching a key resistance zone. This level aligns with prior support during the mid-cycle consolidation and is now acting as overhead supply. The market is effectively testing whether that former support can be reclaimed as a new base.
From a trend perspective, Bitcoin remains in a transitional phase. Price is still below the 50-week moving average (blue), which has started to flatten, while the 100-week (green) is being tested from below. The 200-week (red) remains well below price and continues to slope upward, confirming that the long-term trend is intact despite recent weakness.
Volume has moderated significantly since the sell-off, suggesting that the recovery is not driven by aggressive speculative inflows but by gradual reaccumulation.
A sustained move above $75,000 would confirm structural strength. Failure here would likely keep Bitcoin range-bound between $65,000 and $75,000.

A recent surge in trading volume across several XRP-linked exchange-traded funds has been highlighted by BankXRP, showing that activity across multiple issuers has expanded rapidly.
XRP ETF Trading Activity Surges Past $26 Million
Fresh trading data reveals a sharp increase in XRP ETF participation. According to figures shared by BankXRP, combined daily trading volume across XRP ETFs climbed to $26.02 million, marking a notable spike in activity across the sector.
The largest share of this trading volume was captured by Bitwise Asset Management, whose XRP ETF recorded $11.14 million in daily turnover. The firm therefore controlled the majority of the day’s trading activity, reinforcing its position as a dominant issuer in the developing XRP ETF market.
Behind Bitwise, Franklin Templeton posted $8.39 million in trading volume, securing the second-largest share of market participation among the ETF issuers tracked. 21Shares followed with $3.76 million, completing the top three contributors to the day’s total.
Together, these figures illustrate how institutional access to XRP is becoming more structured through regulated investment vehicles. Rather than concentrating activity within a single product, the distribution of trading volume across multiple asset managers points to a broader ecosystem forming around XRP-based ETFs.
This diversification across issuers is significant because it demonstrates that interest in XRP exposure is expanding beyond isolated market participants. Institutional investors appear to be utilizing several regulated products simultaneously, suggesting that demand for XRP exposure is scaling through traditional financial channels.
Institutional Positioning Deepens As Capital Flows Accelerate
Additional disclosures from ETF issuers reinforce the narrative that institutional participation is strengthening. Bitwise Asset Management recently submitted a 107-page filing to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) detailing activity surrounding its XRP ETF product.
Within that filing, the firm revealed $267 million in new share creations, a metric widely interpreted as an indication that new capital is entering the fund rather than simply circulating existing shares among traders.
Marketing initiatives have also played a role in raising awareness around XRP investment vehicles. In December, Bitwise launched a promotional campaign in Times Square, placing its XRP ETF product in one of the most visible advertising locations in global finance.
During that same period, spot XRP funds recorded 19 consecutive days of inflows, a streak that underscored sustained investor demand. Another issuer experiencing significant traction is Teucrium. According to the firm’s CEO, the company’s XRP ETF attracted more than $500 million in inflows within just 12 weeks following its launch.
Taken together, the surge to $26.02 million in daily ETF trading volume, alongside hundreds of millions of dollars entering newly created shares and funds, signals a shift in market participation. Institutional investors are increasingly using XRP ETFs as a gateway to exposure, a development that many observers view as an early sign of renewed bullish positioning in the asset.

XRP’s price action has struggled to show the scale of what has been building around Ripple, RLUSD, and the XRP Ledger. The price action is full of red monthly candles while a much broader institutional foundation is being assembled underneath it.
That disconnect is what enthusiast X Finance Bull leaned on in a recent post on X. Recent developments from Ripple itself suggest that the claim is not as easy to dismiss as it once was.
Ripple’s Story Is Growing Past Payments
Many XRP community members are looking at ultra-bullish pictures for the cryptocurrency. One of such community members is X Finance Bull, who recently took to the social media platform X to highlight reasons as to why the mass adoption of Ripple, XRP, XRP Ledger, and RLUSD is already here.
One of the key points the analyst highlighted is Ripple’s strategy to build a full end-to-end treasury ecosystem setup. The setup functions as a financial operating layer that integrates with a company’s existing banks, ERP systems, and internal workflows, linking them to digital asset rails without requiring any overhaul of existing infrastructure.
Enterprise platforms such as SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, and Workday are all connected through a single API layer referred to as ClearConnect. The same API layer bridges traditional rails (ACH, wire transfers, and SWIFT) with XRP settlement, RLUSD, and Ripple&#8217;s brokerage and custody infrastructure. 
The most important thing in this treasury ecosystem is that Ripple is growing and no longer pitching itself only as a cross-border payments company. On April 1, Ripple announced native digital asset capabilities inside Ripple Treasury, describing it as the first treasury management system with built-in support for digital assets. 
RLUSD And Ripple Prime Are Making The Institutional Case Clearer
Another sector where Ripple is gaining adoption is through its RLUSD stablecoin. Ripple says RLUSD is issued on both the XRP Ledger and Ethereum, backed one-to-one by cash, cash equivalents, and US Treasuries, and issued under NYDFS oversight.
Ripple Prime, also highlighted by X Finance Bull, is another factor for Ripple and XRP&#8217;s adoption. Ripple Prime was created following Ripple’s acquisition of Hidden Road, and data from its website shows that the business clears over $3 trillion annually while serving more than 300 institutional clients. 
Notable examples are Deutsche Bank, AMINA Bank, and SBI Holdings. Interestingly, Ripple also indicated during the acquisition that RLUSD would be positioned for use as collateral for brokerage products.
Institutional adoption extends into custody as well. As noted by X Finance Bull, Ripple’s custody solutions are already being used by financial players, including BBVA Switzerland, Societe Generale-FORGE, and DBS. 
The overall picture is even more bullish when developments and updates on the Ledger itself are considered alongside these ecosystem developments. As noted by X Finance Bull, all these didn&#8217;t appear overnight. They are the products of a decade of building acquisitions, licenses, integrations, and compliance frameworks. It is all now coming together in 2026.

Familiar Faces Behind The Money
The Fellowship PAC filed documents Wednesday with the US Federal Election Commission showing it received $10 million from Cantor Fitzgerald and $1 million from Anchor Labs, the parent company of crypto bank Anchorage Digital.
Both contributions were made in January 2026. The PAC is led by Tether&#8217;s head of government affairs, and its treasurer, Mitchell Nobel, has served as Cantor Fitzgerald&#8217;s director of digital asset strategy since August 2025 — roughly the same time Fellowship registered with the FEC. That means the PAC&#8217;s biggest donor and its top financial officer share an employer.
Hines, who also holds the title of Tether US CEO, co-founded the Nxum Group, the marketing company that received the $3 million in &#8220;issue advocacy advertising&#8221; spending. His dual role — private sector executive and former government official — puts him at the center of a web of financial relationships that connects the PAC&#8217;s spending directly back to Tether&#8217;s orbit.
Crypto&#8217;s new $11M PAC has booked millions in ads with a firm founded by Tether&#8217;s CEO, signaling strategic growth!
— Bitcoin Dino (@bitcoindinos) April 15, 2026
Anchorage had previously signaled its political ambitions. Reports indicate the company announced in March that it would join Chainlink to back the Blockchain Leadership Fund, a separate hybrid PAC that can contribute directly to candidates.
An Anchorage spokesperson said at the time the company planned a &#8220;meaningful contribution&#8221; to be reported to the FEC. As of Wednesday, no such filing had appeared publicly.
A Gap Between Claims And Disclosures
When Fellowship launched in September 2025, it announced it had secured &#8220;over $100 million&#8221; from backers aligned with the crypto industry. FEC records told a different story. No contributions above $200 were recorded between August 7 and December 31, 2025.
The $11 million now disclosed covers January 2026 contributions. It is a fraction of the nine-figure figure the PAC originally touted.
Whether additional large donations are still in the pipeline remains unclear. FEC filings operate on set reporting windows, meaning contributions made after March 31 would not yet be required to appear in public records.
Targeting Key Races Ahead Of May Primaries
The PAC has already begun spending in targeted congressional contests. Reports say Fellowship put $1.5 million toward media buys supporting Republican candidates in Georgia&#8217;s 14th Congressional District and in US Senate races in Nebraska and Kentucky. All three states are scheduled to hold party primaries in May.

This renewed upward performance of ADA is attributed to multiple factors, such as a broader market recovery and potentially the recent uptick in whale activity.
ADA Faces Key Test After Accumulation Surge
With the market environment slowly turning bullish once again, the price of Cardano is exhibiting upside action, approaching the $0.25 mark. Despite this upward move, the altcoin is now being faced by significant resistance that may serve as a trigger for more upside activity or downside trend.
After examining the chart on the 3-day time frame, Ali Chartz, a seasoned crypto analyst and trader, outlined that Cardano is currently approaching a decisive moment that could dictate its next move. Ali stated that the altcoin has returned to a make-or-break point, located at the $0.243 level.
Currently, the price seems to be tightening around this key area. Here, the support and resistance dynamics are expected to dictate the next significant direction as indicated by the market expert. According to Ali, this make-or-break zone has historically acted as the ultimate pivot for ADA’s trend.
This is backed by past scenarios where hitting this level becomes the launchpad for significant rebounds. At this point, a continued upward action falls into the bulls&#8217; hands. If these investors can defend this floor, the positioning could set the stage for a relief rally toward the $0.03 resistance.
However, when ADA fails to hold here and loses the zone on a daily close, it would be a major structural failure and shift into a bearish phase. Ali highlighted that the breakdown here could expose ADA to a deeper correction, potentially testing the yearly lows near the $0.10 level.
Given the growing interest and demand for Cardano, the altcoin might gain the necessary momentum to push upward and break this zone, as accumulation often plays a role in price performance. Large holders were reportedly earlier to be steadily increasing their positions, signaling growing confidence even as the price approaches a decisive zone.
Cardano Whale Count At Multi-Month Level
Mintern shared on X that wallet addresses holding at least 10 million ADA have increased sharply, indicating a persistent buying activity by high-net-worth investors. As seen on the chart, the number of these large investors or whales is at a 4-month high, with 424 wallets.
According to Mintern, this is a clear sign of growing whale accumulation, representing an over 5.2% increase in just 9 weeks. In the meantime, this combination of a significant technical level and robust accumulation puts ADA at a pivotal juncture where the next move could determine its short-term course.
At the time of writing, the Cardano price was trading at $0.25 after recording a nearly 5% increase in the last 24 hours. As the price slowly moves toward the upside, its trading volume has flipped bullish, rising by over 9% within the same time frame.

Potential Markup As Early As This Month
During the interview, Shirzad described recent developments as encouraging. He said that over the past days, there has been “really great work taking place” and that Coinbase has been focused on the stablecoin rewards topic, which he described as critical for resolving the broader dispute. 
Shirzad added that he expects Chair Tim Scott to schedule the anticipated markup as early as this month. He also said expectations are that the bill could reach a full Senate vote in May, if the committee process moves forward on the proposed timeline.
When asked about the deadlock tied to the stablecoin rewards provision, Shirzad cited the recent White House economic study that examined whether the provision would trigger “deposit flight” from traditional banking institutions. 
According to his interpretation of the findings, there is no evidence that such an outcome would occur. He said the matter is largely “put on bed,” though he noted that banking lobby groups are reportedly still trying to oppose stablecoins. 
In Shirzad’s view, the resistance reflects broader efforts to defend President Trump’s vision for crypto policy in the United States—a vision the president has repeatedly described as aiming to make “America the crypto capital of the world.”
CLARITY Act Timeline Watch
Shirzad’s comments also aligned with Wednesday reporting that suggested Senate Banking Committee members and staff were continuing to finalize the CLARITY Act. 
According to those reports, negotiation participants still see certain open areas that could shape the final draft, including ethics and tokenization. At the same time, the reporting indicated that some of the more contentious issues—such as DeFi and stablecoin yield—have largely been addressed already. 
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse also pointed to May as the key month to watch, arguing that passage of the CLARITY Act hinges on whether the stablecoin yield dispute moves toward resolution. Garlinghouse said that the stablecoin yield issue was nearing closure.
Senator Thom Tillis said on Monday that he is working to release bill text outlining the stablecoin yield compromise reached between banks and crypto firms sometime this week.
However, Crypto In America reported that the exact timing could still shift depending on when the CLARITY Act markup is scheduled. In other words, even if lawmakers are closing in on language, the bill’s calendar may still depend on whether committee scheduling aligns with the negotiated outcome.

Despite rising volumes, increased derivatives positioning, and strong accumulation signals, the meme coin remains stuck below its all-time high. At the same time, reports reveal heavy selling from a prominent holder, even as institutional whales accumulate SHIB. 
Major Shiba Inu Developments This Week
Shiba Inu is seeing a major surge in trading activity this week, but price action continues to lag behind the meme coin’s growing market interest. Data from Coinglass showed that derivatives volume jumped 102.48% to $161.13 million around Tuesday, April 14, signaling a sharp increase in trader participation as the broader crypto market rallied. At the time of writing, the volume has eased slightly to $151.51 million, but remains up 13.65% on the day, in line with a modest price uptick.
In addition to rising volume, Coinglass reported that Shiba Inu’s Open Interest (OI) edged up 3.12% to $62 million during the same period, suggesting that traders were increasingly positioning for a potential move. Currently, Open Interest is up by 9.29%, pointing to a steady accumulation of leveraged positions as the market continues to speculate on Shiba Inu’s next move. 
Despite heightened trading activity, the SHIB price continues to consolidate between $0.0000055 and $0.000006. The cryptocurrency jumped about 3.7% last week as trading volume spiked. In the last 24 hours, CoinMarketCap data showed the meme coin rising by over 4.4%, reflecting a slow recovery from its previous downtrend, which had driven its price down by more than 47% year-to-date.    
While derivatives volume and open interest rose, on-chain data also pointed to significant buying interest in Shiba Inu earlier in the week. Crypto analytics platform CryptoQuant reported a negative exchange netflow of -89.49 billion SHIB on April 13, indicating that a staggering amount of tokens were withdrawn from exchanges. 
Such outflows typically signal accumulation and reduced selling pressure among investors. However, despite the increased accumulation, the Shiba Inu price failed to react at the time, highlighting its underlying weakness from months of downward pressure and uncertainty. 
Celebrity SHIB Holder Exits Position As Whales Accumulate
New reports reveal that American DJ and record producer Steve Aoki has fully exited his nearly five-year position in the meme coin. According to on-chain data, the move occurred around April 13, coinciding with the period when SHIB saw a decline in exchange flows and increased trading activity. 
Notably, Aoki first entered Shiba Inu during its historic 2021 surge and held through multiple market cycles before gradually selling down his holdings. His final transactions brought his remaining balance down to near zero, marking a complete exit from one of his long-term crypto positions. 
Simultaneously, blockchain data tracked by Arkham Intelligence shows that whales were accumulating heavily. Around 2.02 trillion SHIB, worth approximately $12.16 million, was purchased during the same period Aoki was exiting, signaling strong interest from large-scale investors and suggesting potential positioning ahead of anticipated price movements.

With bullish momentum gaining traction, investors are now shifting into accumulation mode across the market, which has led to a notable withdrawal of the flagship asset from cryptocurrency exchanges.
Growing Accumulation Drives Bitcoin Off Exchanges
Currently, a notable shift is unfolding in the supply dynamics of Bitcoin. While Bitcoin&#8217;s price is showing upward momentum following a broader market recovery, investor demand for the leading crypto asset has reportedly been returning beneath the surface. 
Bitcoin continues to flow off cryptocurrency exchanges at an accelerating pace during this brief price rebound. As stated by Darkfost, a market expert and verified author at the CryptoQuant platform, this has been ongoing for the past two months, during which Bitcoin was withdrawn from exchanges nearly every day.
This consistent withdrawal indicates a significant wave of accumulation as investors are shifting their holdings into long-term storage. When exchange reserves dry up, it implies that the number of coins readily for sale is decreasing, a trend that could often precede upward price movements.
After his examination of the Bitcoin Exchange Netflow metric, Darkfost found that the monthly average has also turned negative, which is currently positioned at -1,640 BTC. What this simply means is a clear accumulation trend that has been building over the past few months.
Darkfost has highlighted that, in particular, when Bitcoin departs from exchanges like this, it is usually with the goal of retaining the asset for a longer time. In a scenario where this kind of behavior persists, it is no longer about sporadic transfers that are sometimes driven by exchanges themselves. Rather, it is a genuine structural trend, which is considered a very positive signal.
BTC Bear Market Still Present Despite Growing Strength
As the market recovers slowly, several indicators are starting to point to robust growth for Bitcoin. However, despite these bullish signals, a crypto expert claims that the broader trend is still indicating that the bear market phase is not yet over. “Market is showing strong growth, but bear market is still ongoing,” Aralez stated.
According to the expert, the market is already running final bullish manipulations that will come to an end soon in a strong drop to and below the $60,000 zone. After this, several key upcoming events are expected to take place, shifting the price dynamics.
Below the $60,000 mark, Aralez foresees accumulation in the $45,000 and $55,000 range backed by the formation of a cyclical bottom. A gradual upside is expected from here, as institutional inflows increase. By the end of Spring 2027, the market will approach its previous all-time high and eventually break above it. For now, the market is still bearish, and Aralez advises patience, stating that better entry opportunities are coming.

The Code Might Hold The Answer</title><description><![CDATA[Crypto pundit SMQKE has raised speculations that SWIFT may be integrating XRP for payments. He alluded to a code, which suggests that Ripple could easily move to establish connections between SWIFT-linked institutions and the XRP Ledger. 
Pundit Highlights Alleged Link Between XRP and SWIFT
In an X post, SMQKE drew attention to the R3 Corda codebase, which he noted links XRP to ISO 20022 and SWIFT. He noted that any token or company aspiring to operate on the SWIFT network must comply with ISO 20022. He added that since XRP is ISO 20022-ready, and SWIFT relies on these standards, Ripple can technically establish direct connections and settlements with any SWIFT-enabled institution through the XRP Ledger. 
XRP stakeholder RippleXity was the first to highlight the R3 Corda codebase, noting modules named XrpPayment, XrpSettlement, SWIFTService, and SWIFTPaymentStatusType, which point to XRP integration. However, there has been no confirmation from SWIFT regarding a potential integration. 
Meanwhile, it is worth noting that the only known connection between XRP and SWIFT is through Ripple. SWIFT is named as one of the connectivity partners for Ripple Treasury for payments. Furthermore, the Treasury Management firm is also part of the SWIFT Certified Partner program. However, SWIFT doesn’t use XRP for its payment services. 
SWIFT announced last year plans to launch its distributed ledger, signaling that it had no intention of adopting the XRP Ledger or XRP for its payment services. However, Ripple has continued to integrate XRP into the operations of other firms it acquired last year, including GTreasury, now known as Ripple Treasury. Last month, Ripple integrated XRP and RLUSD into its treasury management system, marking the first time a management system has native on-chain capabilities. 
XRP Gets Boost With X’s Cashtags
In an X post, X’s Head of Product, Nikita Bier, revealed that they had launched a new cashtags feature for XRP and other crypto assets as they move to bring financial data to the platform. This is expected to give these crypto assets greater visibility on the social media platform and provide easier access to trade them. 
As to how it works, Bier stated that X users can search for or post a cashtag, and the platform will automatically suggest matching crypto tokens, allowing them to select the exact asset they have in mind. Users will be able to see posts mentioning these crypto tokens, including XRP, alongside their price charts without leaving the platform. Bier added that cashtags are just the first step in their commitment to make X the best destination for the crypto community. 
At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $1.40, up over 3% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Blockchain Goes TradFi?
The Ministry of Finance and Economy announced on an official press release that the pilot project for the execution of national treasury funds using blockchain‑based digital currency has been approved.
This new official venture marks the second time in which South Korea’s government uses digital currency and deposit tokens for the execution of national treasury funds, following another pilot project for building electric‑vehicle charging facilities and paying national subsidies together with the Ministry of Environment.
Deposit tokens are digital claims on commercial bank deposits, issued on permissioned blockchain rails, spendable by citizens and companies at participating merchants and service providers.
In simpler words, deposit tokens are digital versions of the money already kept in a normal bank account. The bank “wraps” those deposits into tokens on a private (permissioned) blockchain, and you can then spend those tokens at approved shops or service providers, just like using a card or mobile wallet.
In contrast with Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), that are digital versions of a country’s official money, created and managed directly by its central bank, deposit tokens have programmable settlement, transparent tracking of public money, and real‑time reporting for the state.
Pilot Details
The press release states that under the current National Treasury Funds Management Act, business promotion costs and related operating expenses are required to be paid with government purchase cards, effectively blocking the use of deposit tokens. Thanks to the new regulatory sandbox, those same payments can now be made with deposit tokens, creating a real‑world testbed for a new government payment and settlement method.
The new pilot is expected to serve as an opportunity to put blockchain‑based fiscal execution on a full footing and eliminate frictions in the current card‑payment setup by using blockchain’s built‑in transparency.
Quoting the press release, translated by Bitcoinist:
This pilot will allow us to preset and manage in advance the spending time and permitted business categories when business promotion expenses are executed using deposit tokens that leverage blockchain technology. This is not only expected to improve the transparency of spending but, by eliminating intermediaries in the payment structure, completely remove card‑processing fees borne by small merchants.
A Trade-Off For Traders
South Korea continues moving ahead with its Digital Asset Basic Act, a broad crypto rulebook that will set standards for stablecoins, tokenized real‑world assets, and crypto ETFs in the local market. A few weeks ago, the National Policy Committee of Korea pushed the “second‑phase” of the debate until after the June 3 local elections.
The trade‑off for South Korean traders is evident: they gain efficiency and control vs. losing some privacy and risking potential overreach. It is safe to expect tailwind for bank‑chain infrastructure, permissioned blockchain providers, and tokenization narratives.
Future “state money on chain” flows may favor bank‑issued tokens over fully open stablecoins, which could reshape liquidity, FX corridors, and on‑chain yield strategies.
If the pilot scales, South Korea could become the reference model for how blockchains handle real‑world fiscal flows.

For Qubic, the change matters because phase 2 is where the migration stops being a live test and starts becoming a real incentive shift.
In an April 15 Discord update shared on X by community member Rayyan, Qubic tech lead Joetom said phase 2 began with epoch 209 and that, from this point, “each computor can operate in either legacy XMR mode or Doge mode.” He added: “For every computor index, only one contribution is counted: max(XMR, DOGE). This effectively replaces XMR participation if Doge yields a higher contribution. No dual counting.”
Qubic Activates Dogecoin Phase 2
The move lines up with the transition plan Qubic published ahead of launch. In its March 27 rollout note, the team described a three-phase migration from XMR to DOGE. Phase 1 was a testing period in which XMR revenue remained intact while Dogecoin mining ran on mainnet in a non-rewarded validation mode.
Phase 2 was framed as the decision point, where computors could opt into DOGE rewards while XMR began phasing out. Phase 3 is the end state: XMR removed, DOGE running at full production, and Qubic’s CPU and GPU resources returned to full-time AI training.
That broader architecture is central to Qubic’s pitch. Under the old model, the network alternated between Monero hashing and AI-related work. With Dogecoin, Qubic says the jobs can run in parallel because DOGE mining relies on Scrypt ASICs, while the network’s AI training stack runs on CPUs and GPUs. The result, in Qubic’s telling, is a cleaner division of labor and a path toward running both workstreams at full capacity rather than splitting general-purpose compute between them.
Joetom’s April 15 message also clarified how rewards are now being routed. “All block rewards are used for Qubic buybacks,” he wrote. “The acquired Qubic is distributed proportionally based on delivered Doge shares.”
He then outlined how accounting will evolve as the system scales: “Target state is a daily reward window from 12:00 to 12:00 UTC. All blocks mined within a window are allocated to shares submitted within the same window. Phase 2 starts with a weekly window aligned to epochs.”
That mechanism fits the buyback structure Qubic had already outlined publicly. The network has said DOGE mined through its system is sold, the proceeds are used to buy back QUBIC, and those tokens are then distributed to participants based on contribution.
The timing also tracks the roadmap. Qubic launched Dogecoin mining on April 1 and said the full migration from Monero would likely play out across roughly four weeks, with phase lengths flexible depending on stability and network conditions. Phase 2 arriving in mid-April suggests that schedule is broadly holding, even if reward windows and other parameters remain adjustable.
At press time, DOGE traded at $0.09618.

Bitcoin Investors Have Stopped Selling, And Demand Is Rising</title><description><![CDATA[Bitcoin flows into exchanges have dropped to levels not seen in over six years, and this could be the first of many signs of a bull run. The latest on-chain data shows a massive drop in the amount of BTC being moved onto trading platforms, hinting at a slowdown in selling activity even as uncertainty continues to hang over the crypto industry.
Exchange Inflows Collapse To Multi-Year Lows
According to analysis shared by CryptoQuant author Darkfost, Bitcoin inflows into Binance have fallen to levels last observed in 2020. The 30-day moving average of Bitcoin flowing into Binance is now around 3,998 BTC. This stands in stark contrast to earlier periods of activity, during both bear and bull markets.
When investors are afraid, they sell. They move their Bitcoin onto exchanges, where liquidation is fast and easy. To put this into context, that is what happened in July 2023, when daily inflows to Binance were around 19,000 BTC on average, and again during the May 2021 bull market peak, when daily inflows surpassed 25,000 BTC. 
This analysis is based on the Binance BTC inflows 30DMA, which tells the story clearly. The chart shows that inflow activity that peaked somewhere around July 2021 and has since collapsed to its leftmost edge, where the current reading is around 3,900 BTC.
For further reference, the historical average of Bitcoin inflows into Binance is 11,000 BTC, which means the figures show a market operating below its usual pace and current inflow levels are roughly three times below normal.

Institutions Are Filling The Gap
The absence of selling does not mean indifference. It reflects, according to Darkfost, a holding strategy, which mechanically reduces short-term selling pressure, one that has persisted through a market that has given investors plenty of reasons to reconsider. 
Bitcoin peaked at $126,080 in October 2025 before entering a correction path that pushed the price to as low as $60,000 in February 2026. The recovery back to $75,000 in recent days has been gradual and uneven. However, through all of it, for several consecutive months, Bitcoin inflows to Binance have remained well below the historical norm.
There is also a secondary dynamic at play, and part of the missing exchange activity can be traced to the rise of spot Bitcoin ETFs. A growing share of Bitcoin activity now flows through ETFs, reducing the visible BTC movement that analysts track on platforms like Binance.
US Spot Bitcoin ETFs have logged back-to-back days of significant inflows this week. On April 14, the ETFs recorded $411.5 million in net inflows, with BlackRock&#8217;s iShares Bitcoin Trust leading the charge at $214 million. Momentum continued on April 15 with another $186 million in net inflows. The result is a setup where selling pressure is reduced as fewer coins are sent to exchanges, while demand is increasing through ETF channels.

His core claim was blunt: Bitcoin’s governance culture, not just its cryptography, is now the problem.
In the livestream, titled “BIP 361: Welcome to ShitcoinLand, Bitcoin,” Hoskinson framed the proposal as an overdue admission from parts of the Bitcoin world that quantum risk is no longer theoretical. The Cardano founder pointed to language in the proposal stating that, as of March 1, 2026, more than 34% of all Bitcoin had revealed public keys on-chain, leaving those UTXOs vulnerable to theft by an attacker with a sufficiently powerful quantum computer. In his telling, that amounts to roughly 8 million BTC exposed to a future break in Bitcoin’s current signature assumptions.
BIP-361 proposes freezing every bitcoin that doesn&#8217;t migrate to a quantum-safe address within five years of activation. If you&#8217;re incapacitated, in prison, or simply unaware of the deadline, your coins aren&#8217;t stolen. They&#8217;re frozen by consensus.
The justification: 34% of all… pic.twitter.com/4ValsZTdQD

Cardano Founder Attacks Bitcoin Developer Community
Hoskinson’s attack centered on two related claims. First, he argued that the response implied by BIP 361 would require a hard fork, even if described otherwise. Second, he said any forced migration to post-quantum addresses would create a deeper problem for coins held in older wallet formats that cannot be recovered through the kind of proof system he says the proposal imagines.
“There is some truth in here,” Hoskinson said. “As of March 1st, 2026, over 34% of all Bitcoin have revealed public key on chain… those UTXOs could be stolen by an attacker with sufficiently powerful quantum computer. 34% of all Bitcoin is vulnerable. About 8 million Bitcoin, give or take.”
That set up the heart of his criticism. According to Hoskinson, Bitcoin developers are now stuck between two bad outcomes: either leave vulnerable legacy coins exposed to theft in the 2030s, or force a migration that renders a large portion of older coins effectively unspendable. He repeatedly claimed that around 1.7 million BTC fall into that latter category, including roughly 1.1 million BTC he attributed to Satoshi Nakamoto, because they predate the wallet standards and seed phrase schemes that would make later recovery models possible.
“Users with frozen quantum vulnerable funds and an HD wallet seed phrase can construct a quantum safe proof to recover funds,” he said, paraphrasing the idea before rejecting it. “That’s a lie. And you know it. You know it. 1.7 million coins can’t do that. It’s not possible.”
Hoskinson then widened the argument beyond BIP 361 itself and into a broader critique of Bitcoin’s social structure. In his view, maximalist ideology turned a software system into a doctrine, making it far harder to adapt when technical tradeoffs become unavoidable. He argued that the industry had spent years dismissing alternative chains and governance models, only to arrive at a moment where Bitcoin may need exactly the kind of coordinated protocol change it long portrayed as unacceptable.
“What happened to there is only ever going to be 21 million coins and self-custody and Bitcoin never needs to change and everything’s perfect?” he asked. “Because here’s the thing, it’s not a bad proposal. It really isn’t. I understand why they wrote it. Because if they don’t do this, that money will be stolen in the 2030s.”
That tension gave the video its structure. The Cardano founder was not arguing that the quantum threat is imaginary. Quite the opposite. He treated it as real and potentially severe. But he said the proposed cure exposes a contradiction at the center of Bitcoin’s culture: once a portion of the supply becomes vulnerable, any meaningful fix runs directly into questions of confiscation, coordination, and legitimacy.
He contrasted that with networks such as Cardano, Polkadot, and Ethereum, arguing that formal governance systems at least provide a mechanism for resolving disputes over upgrades and tradeoffs. “If you had onchain governance, you could solve it,” he said. “We have it at Cardano. Polkadot has it… it’s a good idea.”
At press time, Cardano traded at $0.2499.

In the analyst is share don the TradingView post, MyCryptoParadise points to a number of factors that have pushed the PEPE price out of the bearish phase and into a more bullish environment. The first of these, and possibly the most important, is the fact that PEPE formed a Selling Climax (SC).
According to the analyst, this Selling Climax emerged when buying overwhelmed selling, absorbing the pressure from the dumping. The importance of this is that it means that the meme coins have now hit the end of the bearish phase. Following this, it would move right into accumulation, which is bullish for the price.
Next is the fact that PEPE saw a Change of Character with this move. This means that there is now a change from the bearish structure to a bullish one. The analyst points out that this signals that the momentum is now moving in favor of the buyers.
Another interesting formation on the chart is the Automatic Rally trend. This means that bulls are not strengthening after establishing a resistance level. Furthermore, the PEPE price has also formed a Last Point of Support. This simply means that the buyers are back in control of the meme coin once again.
Point Of Interest (POI) Formation Says A Rally Is Coming
Another major development is the Point of Interest (POI) on the PEPE chart. It has formed both a bullish and bearish POI, showing where the rally might start and a possible end. For the bullish part of this, the POI sits around $0.00000326, which could serve as the bounce-off point for the rally.
As for the bearish part of the move, the POI sits around $0.0000062, where there is a Draw on Liquidity. This is likely to be the top of the rally and the sell point following the rally. If it tops at this level, it would mean an over 60% rally for the meme coin.

Biden Admin Crackdown Led CZ To Prison
On Tuesday, Binance co-founder and former CEO Changpeng Zhao shared his thoughts on the Biden administration’s crypto approach and the reasons behind his four-month prison sentence back in 2024.
In a Fox Business interview with Charlie Gasparino, Zhao, also known as CZ, discussed the Biden administration’s crackdown on the digital assets sector, affirming that they were “openly declaring war on crypto” and creating a “very hostile environment” for the industry.
Therefore, he considers that the previous administration targeted him and tried to “make an example” out of him and Binance, as the biggest players in the market. For context, the global exchange also pleaded guilty to federal charges in 2023 and agreed to pay over $4 billion to resolve the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) investigation.
That same year, CZ stepped down as Binance’s CEO after pleading guilty to Anti-Money Laundering (AML) violations, paying a $50 million penalty. In April 2024, the crypto tycoon was sentenced to four months in prison, which he served between June and September of that year.
Zhao argued that he had a single charge of violating the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA), with no money-laundering charges, “no fraud,” and “no victims,” which initially suggested he would not get a prison sentence.
In US history, no one went to jail for this single one charge. In most cases, (…) people are not being charged. Of the people who are charged, they usually end up with a deferred prosecution agreement (DPA). I was the only one who went to prison.
In a recent interview with Scott Melker, CZ revealed that he did not expect to go to jail, noting that he had expected a sentence similar to Arthur Hayes’s home confinement at most.
Zhao also explained that he voluntarily went to the US to plead guilty because he feared that Binance, BNB holders, and the broader crypto industry could be affected if he didn’t cooperate with authorities.
Binance Founder’s Pardon Was ‘A Bit of A Surprise’
Speaking about his pardon, the Binance co-founder shared he was partially surprised when it happened. He affirmed that he expected to be pardoned after US President Donald Trump’s pardon of Ross Ulbricht and Arthur Hayes, and the current administration’s push to make the US “the crypto capital of the world.”
However, “it was a bit of a surprise in terms of timing,” as he did not know when it would happen. “The timing was not known to me; this is a black box process. You submit the petition and just wait. You don’t know what’s going on,” CZ asserted.
On October 23, 2025, the White House announced that President Trump had “exercised his constitutional authority by issuing a pardon for Mr. Zhao, who was prosecuted by the Biden Administration in their war on cryptocurrency.”
Notably, this decision drew major backlash from members of Congress, who questioned the US President’s rationale for granting the pardon and raised concerns about a potential conflict of interest.
CZ told Fox Business that he has no ties to the first family, rejecting claims that he paid to be pardoned. “There’s no business relationship between me and Mr. Trump, his family, or any of his businesses. There’s no investment relationship, no shareholding, nothing.”
Trump has also addressed the controversial pardon, denying any links to the Binance founder and dismissing concerns about the appearance of corruption and pay-for-play.
In November, he explained that he doesn’t know Zhao personally but had heard that his case was part of the Biden administration’s “witch hunt” against the industry and was a “victim of weaponization” like him and many others.

Strict Rules Come With The New Access
The State Bank of Pakistan issued a circular on April 14 outlining exactly how that access works. Regulated banks are allowed to serve entities licensed by the Pakistan Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority, known as PVARA — the body responsible for licensing and overseeing virtual asset activity in the country. But the rules are tight.
Banks cannot invest, trade, or hold virtual assets using their own money or customer deposits. Their role stops at providing standard banking services to licensed firms.
Separate rupee-denominated accounts — called Client Money Accounts — must be opened specifically for settling authorized transactions. VASP funds cannot be mixed with client assets under any circumstance.
Banks are also required to conduct full due diligence on every virtual asset firm they work with, update their risk profiling systems to account for crypto-related exposure, and report any suspicious activity to Pakistan&#8217;s Financial Monitoring Unit.
Foreign exchange rules and all other central bank regulations still apply. Working with a licensed crypto firm does not free a bank from those obligations.
Pakistan has taken an important step toward formalising its virtual asset ecosystem.

— Pakistan Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (@PakistanVARA) April 14, 2026
Eight Years Of Restrictions Now Behind Them
Pakistan banned virtual currency dealings outright in 2018. For eight years, crypto companies had no path to basic banking services in the country.
That changed when Pakistan passed the Virtual Assets Act 2026 in March — and the central bank&#8217;s April 14 circular put the new framework into action.
The government had been laying the groundwork for months. Officials held talks with major exchanges, including Binance and HTX, in December 2025 as part of an effort to bring regulated trading platforms into the country.
Separately, Pakistan explored blockchain-based financial infrastructure through discussions with affiliates of World Liberty Financial, focusing on the use of stablecoins for cross-border payments.
A Regulated Path Forward For Digital Assets
PVARA now sits at the center of this new system. Any virtual asset service provider that wants banking access must first be licensed through the authority. Banks, in turn, are responsible for vetting those firms on an ongoing basis — not just at the point of onboarding.
Reports indicate that crypto activity in Pakistan has been growing despite the long-standing ban, driven in part by a large overseas population that sends money home regularly. The country&#8217;s interest in stablecoins for remittances reflects that reality.
The central bank&#8217;s circular marks the first time licensed crypto firms have had a formal, legal route to banking services in Pakistan. Whether banks move quickly to serve this new client base — or take a cautious wait-and-see approach — remains to be seen.

XRP &amp; Solana Are Observing A High Value On The Relative Unrealized Loss
In a new post on X, on-chain analytics firm Glassnode has talked about how the Relative Unrealized Loss compares between the various top coins in the cryptocurrency sector. The &#8220;Unrealized Loss&#8221; is an indicator that keeps track of the total amount of loss that&#8217;s held by investors as a whole on a given digital asset network.
The metric works by going through the transaction history of each coin on the blockchain to determine the last price at which it was involved in a move. If this previous transfer value was more than the current spot price for any token, then that particular token is considered to be held at an unrealized loss right now.
The exact amount of loss held by the coin is naturally equal to the difference between the two prices. The Relative Unrealized Loss, which is the version of the metric that&#8217;s of relevance here, sums up this difference for all loss tokens and finds what percentage of the market cap that it makes up for.
A counterpart metric called the Relative Unrealized Profit finds the same for the profit portion of the supply. That is, the tokens that have a cost basis lower than the current spot price. Now, here is the chart shared by Glassnode that shows the trend in the Relative Unrealized Loss for the four top cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, and Solana.
As is visible in the above graph, the Relative Unrealized Loss has witnessed a rise across the sector during the last few months. This increase is a natural consequence of the bearish price action that the various assets have seen in this window.
While the trend has been more-or-less uniform, the indicator&#8217;s value has differed in scale for the coins. Bitcoin and Ethereum, the two cryptocurrencies largest by market cap, have the metric sitting at relatively modest levels of 11.9% and 16.6%, respectively. Meanwhile, XRP and Solana have faced much heavier losses, with the Relative Unrealized Loss at 31.8% and 54.8%, respectively.
&#8220;The elevated loss levels in altcoins reflect how heavy the top is in these markets, where supply is more concentrated among buyers who entered near cycle highs,&#8221; explained the analytics firm. While the altcoins are facing high levels of losses, they are still lower than those observed at the lows of the 2022 bear market. XRP isn&#8217;t too far off, but Solana&#8217;s losses remain magnitudes lower.

After a series of staking activity among retail and institutional investors, the ETH staking market cap has exploded, reaching new levels.
ETH Staking Market Cap Sees Explosive Growth
The Ethereum ecosystem is undergoing a radical change as its staking landscape quickly grows in size and sophistication. This notable growth coincides with the recent upward performance of ETH’s price following a broader market recovery earlier this week.
According to Everstake, the largest global non-custodial staking infrastructure provider, the ETH staking ecosystem has evolved, reaching a $85.2 billion market cap. With the massive market cap, the ecosystem is turning into a fortress of security. Everstake stated that the sheer scale of this is absolutely mind-blowing.
Such a sharp rise in ETH staking market capitalization is indicative of increased involvement from both individual and institutional holders, who are all looking for profits while enhancing network security. As a result of this, Ethereum&#8217;s economic model is changing, becoming a more yield-driven and capital-efficient economy.
Looking at the chart shared by Everstake, the Ethereum network is now commanding more locked capital than the rest of the leading networks combined. ETH leads with over $85.2 billion, while Solana and BNB Chain come in second and third positions, with $35.5 billion and $15.2 billion, respectively.
Being the leader in total staking market cap, ETH is currently providing the largest decentralized security budget in history. Offering more insight, Everstake added that this massive staking market cap represents unmatched trust or conviction in the ETH network from both large institutions and regular users across the globe. 
Furthermore, it proves that Ethereum is the leading blockchain when it comes to network resilience and providing a bulletproof settlement layer for the global on-chain economy. “The foundation has never been stronger,” Everstake stated.
A Growing Bullish Momentum For The Ethereum Price
With the rebound across the market, the Ethereum price appears to be maintaining its newfound uptrend, breaking past key resistance levels that previously capped previous upside attempts. In a report on X, Glassnode, a research and data analytics platform, highlighted that ETH’s price has reclaimed the 1-3 month holder cost basis located at the $2,300 level.
A Major driver of this upward performance of ETH is the renewed positive momentum of the market. As seen in the chart, this trend is a familiar one. Glassnode noted that this structure so far is consistent with a bear market relief rally, similar to the bounces seen in Q3–Q4 2022, rather than a structural trend reversal.
At the time of writing, ETH’s price was trading at $2,319, with a nearly 3% decrease in the last 24 hours. While ETH’s price has declined, its trading volume has turned bearish, falling by more than 13% over the past day.

Smart Money Disagrees – Details</title><description><![CDATA[Ethereum is pushing above $2,300 as the market recovers from weeks of compressed price action, with buyers gradually reasserting control after an extended period of consolidation near the $2,000 level. The move higher comes as underlying on-chain data begins to paint a more constructive picture — one that suggests the recent weakness may have been quietly working in Ethereum&#8217;s favor rather than against it.
According to a CryptoQuant report, a significant divergence has been developing beneath the surface. While price remained range-bound near $2,000, realized capitalization held by accumulating addresses continued to expand — a signal that long-term demand was absorbing available supply during the weakness rather than retreating from it. Coins were consistently moving into wallets with low historical spending behavior, the kind of addresses that tend to hold through volatility rather than react to it.
This pattern became especially visible following the April 2025 drawdown and the consolidation that followed. Rather than triggering distribution, the price volatility appeared to accelerate accumulation among conviction-driven participants. Stronger hands were increasing exposure precisely when the market looked least inviting.
That dynamic matters now because Ethereum is trading above $2,300. If the capital structure that formed during the consolidation is as durable as the on-chain data suggests, the current move may have a foundation that previous bounces lacked.
Supply Is Quietly Moving Into Stronger Hands
The inflow data reinforces what the accumulation signals have been suggesting. During the mid-2025 rally, Ethereum&#8217;s exchange inflows were dominated by high-frequency in-out addresses — the kind of activity typically associated with active trading and distribution near local price tops. That pattern reflected a market where participants were using strength as an exit rather than an entry. The current structure looks meaningfully different.
Speculative inflow activity has declined, while addresses receiving funds directly from centralized exchanges are becoming increasingly dominant in the flow data. In practical terms, assets are leaving liquid venues and moving into hands that are less likely to return them quickly to the market. Each outflow of this type quietly removes supply from the immediately available sell side.
What is notably absent is any sign of overheating. There are no extreme inflow spikes — the kind that historically precede sharp corrections by signaling that too much capital has piled in too quickly. Instead, the report describes a re-accumulation phase where supply is being transferred gradually to stronger holders without the fanfare that typically accompanies speculative excess.
If exchange outflows continue at the current pace, the supply available for immediate sale on major venues will keep tightening. That kind of structural compression, combined with improving demand signals, is the setup that has historically preceded expansion phases rather than reversals. Ethereum&#8217;s fundamentals, by this measure, are strengthening even where the price chart has yet to fully reflect it.
Ethereum Tests Critical Weekly Resistance After Post-Capitulation Recovery
Ethereum is attempting to reclaim higher ground after a volatile multi-cycle structure that has repeatedly failed to sustain momentum above the $3,000–$4,000 range. The weekly chart shows a clear pattern: impulsive rallies followed by sharp retracements, with the most recent rejection near $4,800 in late 2025 leading to a breakdown toward the $1,700–$1,800 region.
That February 2026 capitulation marked a structural reset, with elevated volume confirming forced selling or large-scale de-risking. Since then, ETH has staged a recovery, now trading around $2,300–$2,400 — a level that sits directly at a key pivot zone. This area previously acted as support during mid-2024 and early 2025, and is now being retested as resistance.
From a trend perspective, ETH remains below the 200-week moving average (red), which is flattening, while the 100-week (green) and 50-week (blue) are converging just above the current price. This compression suggests a decision point is approaching, where the market must either reclaim these levels or face renewed downside pressure.
Volume has declined notably since the capitulation spike, indicating that the recovery is not driven by aggressive inflows but rather by reduced selling.
Holding above $2,400 would signal structural improvement. Rejection here would likely reinforce the broader range-bound regime.

The analysis, posted on X, suggests that th price action on charts does not account for its role in broader liquidity systems and, as a result, fails to capture its true long-term value.
Analyst Rejects Chart-Based XRP Price Assessments 
Rather than relying on technical chart patterns, Suther shifts the focus toward XRP’s underlying utility and the massive financial rails established around it. He argued that the cryptocurrency’s real value can be accurately measured only by its role as a settlement layer in the global financial sector and its functionality across institutional networks. 
Notably, Suther revealed that the altcoin is currently positioned within a global finance infrastructure worth multiple quadrillions of dollars. This infrastructure includes a diverse array of traditional banking institutions and payment processors worldwide. 
In his analysis, he outlined key segments of the global financial system and their estimated valuations, arguing that the altcoin’s price outlook lies in its potential to handle large-scale settlement demand across these markets. He noted that:
All Japanese banks manage approximately $25 trillion
The DTCC processes roughly $3 quadrillion
SWIFT handles about $1.5 quadrillion 
The top 10 US banks hold over $12.5 trillion
Tokenized assets account for $2 trillion
Mastercard manages around $9 trillion
Visa processes up to $16 trillion
The derivatives market represents about $1 trillion
American Express handles roughly $1 trillion 
Hidden Road, now rebranded as Ripple Prime, manages approximately $3 trillion
According to Suther, the combined value of these financial segments is estimated at roughly $5.53 quadrillion. The report highlights this as the total volume of transaction activity moving through settlement networks, a portion of which XRP could potentially support. 
Within this context, the analyst argued that market capitalization and technical chart patterns fail to capture the demands of high-volume settlement systems. Instead, he emphasized that the token’s value should be assessed based on its throughput capacity and its ability to facilitate faster, cheaper transfer of value across international financial systems. 
XRP Pricing Structure Tied To Institutional Flow
In his post, Suther noted that many people made the same mistakes when assessing XRP’s value. They try to directly match the $5.53 quadrillion flow of global finance to XRP’s market capitalization. He explained that the token is not designed to hold that value, but to move it. 
From this standpoint, the analyst stated that the more relevant question is not whether it can handle trillions in flow, but what price is required for billions to move instantly without friction. He added that if XRP’s price is too low, liquidity would remain thin and slippage would rise, making large-scale settlement inefficient. In his view, a higher XRP price is a functional requirement for the system to operate effectively at a global scale.

The partnership is built around Ripple Custody, which will be used to hold, transfer, and settle tokenized government bond transactions within a regulated institutional framework. The firm said the setup is designed to replace fragmented, manual settlement processes with on-chain execution, potentially compressing the standard two-day settlement cycle into near real-time.
Ripple Signs First Tier-1 Korean Insurer for Custody Push
Kyobo, one of Korea’s largest and most established life insurers, will work with Ripple to assess both the technical and regulatory feasibility of tokenized Treasury settlement within Korea’s financial system. The custody layer sits at the center of that effort. Ripple described Ripple Custody as a bank-grade, fully integrated platform built for regulated financial institutions, supporting the secure transfer, settlement, and management of digital assets.
Notably, the announcement positions custody not as a standalone product, but as the first layer of a broader institutional stack that could later expand into tokenization, payments, liquidity, and treasury management. In other words, the bond-settlement pilot is being presented as infrastructure, not a one-off proof of concept.
Ripple also tied the partnership to a larger modernization argument around government bond markets. By settling transactions simultaneously on-chain, the companies say institutions could reduce counterparty risk and improve capital efficiency. Ripple added that it will also support Kyobo in exploring stablecoin-based payment rails, with the goal of enabling 24/7 transaction capability inside a compliant framework.
Fiona Murray, Ripple’s managing director for Asia Pacific, cast the agreement as both a Korea market entry point and a signal to other institutions watching from the sidelines. “Korea&#8217;s institutional financial market is at an inflection point, and we are privileged to be entering it alongside Kyobo Life Insurance—one of Korea&#8217;s most respected financial institutions and the first major insurer in the country to take this step with us,” Murray said. “This partnership is a signal to the broader market that institutional-grade digital asset infrastructure is no longer a future aspiration; it is available, proven, and ready to deploy in Korea today.”
She went further, describing the move as part of a broader regional commitment rather than a narrowly scoped pilot. “Ripple&#8217;s commitment to Korea is long-term and strategic. We see this as the beginning of a broad and enduring partnership, not only with Kyobo, but with the Korean institutional financial market as a whole,” Murray said.
Kyobo framed the initiative less as a bet on crypto markets than as a test of whether conventional financial products can function more efficiently on blockchain rails. “Our partnership with Ripple is not simply about digital assets — it’s about validating how traditional financial instruments can operate securely and efficiently on blockchain,” said Jin Ho Park, senior executive vice president at Kyobo Life Insurance. “We are proud to collaborate with Ripple to advance Korea’s financial market infrastructure and bring next-generation solutions to our customers.”
At press time, XRP traded at $1.3543.

Amid this rebound, both leading crypto assets are displaying consistent growth underneath the surface.
Rising Leverage Collide Bitcoin And Ethereum Rebound
Bitcoin and Ethereum’s prices just shifted into a bullish state and are demonstrating more upside potential in the short term. The recent bounce in both assets is running into a new layer of complexity, as clearly observed in their Open Interest (OI) on cryptocurrency exchanges.
Santiment, a popular market intelligence and data analytics platform, shared this trend on the X platform, capturing investors’ attention across the market. At the time of the report, Bitcoin’s price was already trading at $76,070 while ETH was trading at $2,395, marking their highest market values since the beginning of February.
This bounce is accompanied by a greater sense of optimism, with the rapid creation of margin and leveraged positions, indicated in their ongoing rising open interest. Even while the price recovery signals renewed optimism, the simultaneous increase in leveraged positions indicates more speculative activity behind the move.
Interestingly, this kind of pattern typically leads to a fragile environment, where momentum can quickly accelerate. However, they are also known for unwinding just as fast in the event that sentiment begins to shift.
According to the report from Santiment, BTC’s open interest has experienced a more than 59% rising over the past 7 weeks. The same goes for Ethereum’s open interest, which has secured an over 45% in within the same period. Santiment stated that this spike reflects growing conviction among traders. However, it can also lead to higher risk, as crowded leveraged trades can swiftly unwind. 
When open interest climbs in tandem with prices, the market often turns more volatile, with sudden squeezes in either direction becoming highly likely. Currently, Sentiment highlighted that traders are now feeling enough confidence to take on increased risk.
BTC And ETH Whales Are Returning to The Market
Despite witnessing volatility, high-net-worth holders are slowly returning to the market, which could bolster its upward price action. Data from Santiment shows that the number of ETH wallet addresses holding at least 100,000 ETH has increased from 54 to 57 in the past week.
The platform has predicted a level of correlation with price when this wallet count grows. In addition, there is a strong justification that the altcoin’s price will continue to rise. Large-scale investors or whales are also not sleeping on Bitcoin either. 
Reports reveal that whale holdings between 1,000 BTC and 10,000 BTC now hold over 4.25 million BTC, representing over 21.3% of BTC’s total supply. Since mid-February, this is the most coins the cohort has held. A 27,652 BTC addition on Sunday amounts to slightly over $2 billion in accumulation as the leading crypto asset enjoys a rebound.

Crypto analyst Doctor Profit, who publicly called for a short at the $115,000 to $125,000 range, has revised part of his trading plan in a fresh update posted to X. The analyst is still bearish on the medium-term outlook, but the path to his targets has changed in one important way.
A Strategic Adjustment Around $76,200
Recent price action has seen Bitcoin slowly creeping bullish, which is a reflection of inflows of capital, particularly through Spot Bitcoin ETFs. This has seen the Bitcoin price pushing to an intraday high of $75,829 in the past 24 hours, according to price data from CoinGecko. 
Interestingly, this price bounce is part of why crypto analyst Doctor Profit is now weighing the probabilities. Doctor Profit had previously outlined a plan to take full profit on a long position, which was initiated from $71,000, and simultaneously add short orders in the $79,000 to $84,000 range. That strategy has now been revised.
In his view, a move into the $76,000 range carries a much higher likelihood than a full push into the upper resistance band. The analyst now says he will close only half of his long position at the $76,200 region, pocket that profit, and move his stop loss to entry. 
Doctor Profit acknowledged a miscalculation in his earlier probability assessment, stating that while the likelihood of Bitcoin hitting $76,000 is now very high, the probability of reaching the $79,000 to $84,000 zone is currently only medium. 
The Larger Picture: A Short That Started At $120,000
The context behind this update matters. Doctor Profit&#8217;s original short position was placed at around $120,000. This is a call that, in hindsight, proved well-timed. Bitcoin recorded an all-time high of $126,000 in October 2025 before plummeting following new tariff threats against China, with prices failing to recover and continuing to slide through the end of January. The leading cryptocurrency has since been floating between $65,000 and $75,000 for over two months.
Despite taking partial profits earlier, Doctor Profit has not abandoned his bearish outlook. The original short position is still open, and the outlook is still more bearish, with moves to price targets below $55,000. His chart, shared alongside the update, shows three downside targets: Short TP1 at approximately $54,396, Short TP2 at $46,392, and Short TP3 at $39,388.
However, there is a clear distinction in how he plans to add to that position. The plan now is to avoid opening new shorts around $76,000, instead reserving additional entries for the $79,000 to $84,000 zone. This area, according to the analyst, represents a more optimal region driven by potential market euphoria and late-stage buying pressure.

According to Hoskinson, Midnight’s token launched in December and has already reached what he called “near ubiquitous liquidity,” with Korea, Japan, and some “legacy exchanges like Coinbase” still to come. He said the token has already been listed on venues including Binance Spot and Kraken, and claimed Midnight has shown the capacity to trade as much as $9 billion per day at peak liquidity.
“There’s no longer liquidity issues, which is extraordinary for a brand new token,” Hoskinson said. “Usually it takes about two to three years for a token to go through all these trials and tribulations, but Midnight lives in fast mode.”
Why Cardano&#8217;s Midnight Is Just Getting Started
That market progress has been paired with infrastructure rollout. Hoskinson said Midnight’s “federated guarded mainnet” launched on schedule at the end of March, while teams are now working through post-launch backlog items and parallel ecosystem efforts. He repeatedly returned to the idea that the project remains on track despite volatility in the token.
“It’s going to be a wild year,” he said. “There’s going to be huge volatility in the underlying asset. Very clear that certain actors in the market seem to try to depress the price … but it hasn’t really meaningfully impacted or affected the roadmap or the project’s rollout.”
A large part of the next phase, as he described it, is ecosystem formation. Hoskinson pointed to Night Force, Midnight’s ambassador program, and said he wants to scale it to around 1,000 participants. He also highlighted Builder Club, which he said is already pulling in projects from sectors ranging from healthcare and real estate to NFT marketplaces and more traditional Web3 categories.
On the product side, he said four major R&amp;D efforts are now underway for the next iteration of the roadmap: the Midnight DeFi kernel, the Midnight passport program, Midnight with Minotaur and its future consensus design, and Nightstream. He said the team expects to show more progress at Consensus.
The Cardano founder also spent time outlining the user experience he wants Midnight to deliver. “I want the ability to create an account within 60 seconds and have it actually be useful, have it work on your phone, never have to have 24 keywords or manage cryptographic material,” he said. “I want it to work with OneDrive and Google Drive and all these other wonderful services that billions of people use.”
That push toward abstraction and ease of use sits alongside Midnight’s privacy pitch. Hoskinson described the network as an attempt to combine multiple privacy-enhancing technologies, including zero-knowledge systems, MPC, and trusted execution environments, into something practical at scale. He cast that design as central to Midnight’s broader value proposition: privacy, selective disclosure, and interoperability rather than isolation.
One of the more detailed sections of the livestream focused on “Midnight City,” a project Hoskinson described as an agent-driven front page for the protocol. He said users will eventually be able to deploy their own agents into the environment, while subscriptions and payments inside the system will convert into NIGHT, creating what he described as network demand loops. Similar loops, he said, are also being explored for the DeFi kernel.
That connects directly to Midnight’s token model. Hoskinson argued the network’s dual tokenomics are designed around cooperation rather than competition, saying Midnight benefits from working across ecosystems rather than fighting them. In his telling, the capacity exchange and support for assets such as Bitcoin, Ether, Solana, Avalanche, and BNB are meant to position Midnight as “a layer two to everyone effectively.”
The broader message was equal parts roadmap update and ideological pitch. “Midnight’s here to stay and it’s a tremendous project,” Hoskinson said. “We need simplicity, we need rules, and we need privacy. And it truly is a new generation.”
At press time, Cardano traded at $0.24.

The situation has also triggered strong condemnation from Tron founder Justin Sun, who took to X (formerly Twitter) to describe the venture as “World Tyranny,” arguing that the proposal is not true governance but instead a mechanism for coercion.
World Liberty Financial Proposal Sparks Outcry
At the heart of the controversy is the proposal’s treatment of early investors. Under the plan, those who hold tokens acquired early would be required to agree to keep most of their WLFI holdings locked—meaning they would not be available for trading—for an additional two years. 
After that initial lock-up, the World Liberty Financial proposal states that investors would begin receiving their tokens gradually over the subsequent two-year period. 
Under the terms outlined in the proposal, anyone who does not agree to the plan would see their tokens locked “indefinitely,” with no clear route to regain access.
Sun—who had previously been a major supporter of World Liberty Financial—said the proposal is being dressed up with language about “governance alignment” and “long-term commitment.” In his view, the framing is misleading. 
He argues that beneath the rhetoric, the structure amounts to a trap: if holders vote against the proposal, they are “punished” through an indefinite lock with no future unlocking mechanism. 
In other words, Sun says the vote is not a genuine decision-making process but an enforcement tool. He characterized it as coercion rather than governance, saying it rewards agreement while penalizing dissent.
Sun Calls It A Rights Violation
Sun also claims that the World Liberty Financial proposal restricts who can participate meaningfully in the voting process. He says he personally holds around 4% of the voting power, yet his tokens have been frozen, preventing him from effectively participating in the vote. 
Another of Sun’s strongest objections also centers on what he describes as the scale of the assets at stake. He argues that the proposal is not a minor parameter change or routine protocol update. 
Instead, he says it aims to determine an unlock schedule for assets worth billions, alter reallocation of governance and vesting rights, and, in the most extreme case, permanently destroy billions of tokens. 
He portrays this as a direct violation of property rights, arguing that under a design where voting against the proposal leads to indefinite punishment, where many holders may be frozen out, and where contract control rests with anonymous wallets, the legitimacy of any vote is severely undermined. 
In his view, such actions are incompatible with the protections normally required when large holders’ interests are permanently altered, especially when minority protections, due process, and independent review would be expected in traditional markets.
Sun further argues that because token burning would permanently destroy holders’ tokens without compensation or recourse, the World Liberty Financial proposal represents an irreversible expropriation rather than a legitimate community decision. 
For Tron’s founder, these conditions mean the results should not be treated as legitimate or recognized in the way a real governance process would be.

The move comes despite ongoing market volatility and heightened bearish sentiment, highlighting how institutional appetite for crypto exposure remains firm even as fear and uncertainty spread across the market.
BlackRock Ramps Up Bitcoin And Ethereum Buying
From April 6 to 10, BlackRock recorded a strong wave of inflows into its spot crypto ETFs, highlighting sustained institutional demand for digital assets. The recent inflows also signaled a shift in sentiment among investors, who had previously adopted a risk-off stance amid geopolitical tensions and macroeconomic conditions that fueled price declines in the crypto market. 
In total, the investment company attracted about $780 million across its Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, a staggering figure that shows renewed interest in regulated crypto exposure. SoSoValue reports that the bulk of these inflows went into BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF, iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), which brought in roughly $612 million. Meanwhile, the firm’s Ethereum ETF, iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA), added approximately $168 million over the same period. 
As new shares were issued, authorized participants stepped in to facilitate the process, requiring custodians to buy an equivalent amount of real BTC and ETH. Those assets are now being held by Coinbase Custody, the primary custodian for BlackRock’s crypto ETFs. To maintain full backing, the firm acquires Bitcoin and Ethereum through on the open market or over-the-counter (OTC) deals. BlackRock, for its part, manages the funds without using its own corporate capital. 
Notably, the latest inflow is not a direct purchase on BlackRock’s balance sheet, but rather investors acquiring more crypto ETFs, thereby increasing buying pressure on BTC and ETH. The weekly total ranks among the strongest performances seen in recent months for crypto ETFs. If sustained, the momentum could help support the price of Bitcoin and Ethereum, which recorded major gains of more than 3% during the same week that ETF inflows picked up. 
Following the latest inflows, BlackRock’s total Bitcoin and Ethereum on its balance sheet have increased to $56.8 billion and $6.92 billion, respectively. They now hold approximately 791,284 BTC via IBIT and 3,008,094 ETH via ETHA. 
Institutions Resume Aggressive BTC Accumulation
Bitcoin accumulation has increased not only through ETFs but also among whales and corporate investors. New reports reveal that whales have abruptly stopped aggressively selling BTC and may be looking to buy as the market continues to rebound.  
Strategy, the market intelligence company founded by Michael Saylor, is also buying Bitcoin, increasing its already substantial holdings. On April 13, Saylor took to X to announce that the company had added another batch of Bitcoin to its balance sheet. 
This time, Strategy acquired 13,927 BTC, worth approximately $1 billion at $71,902 per coin. The purchase brings the company’s total holdings to a staggering 780,897 BTC, valued at around $59.02 billion at $75,578 per coin. This move underscores Strategy’s unwavering and increasingly aggressive accumulation strategy, as the company doubles down on its long-term conviction in Bitcoin despite volatile market conditions.

The Securities and Exchange Commission has three of its five commissioner seats filled — all by Republicans.
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission has just one sitting commissioner. Both vacancies come at a moment when the agencies are expected to take center stage in shaping the rules around digital assets, should a crypto market structure bill that has been stalled in the Senate since July 2025 finally pass.
A Nominee With Stakes In The Industry
Against that backdrop, Kevin Warsh — US President Donald Trump&#8217;s pick to replace Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell — filed a financial disclosure last week that revealed personal investments in crypto and artificial intelligence companies.
Based on reports, Warsh&#8217;s filing with the US Office of Government Ethics lists holdings in Compound, Dapper Labs, and Kinetic on the crypto side, alongside AI firms including Delphi, Conversion, Factory, and Glue, among others.
His total disclosed assets top $100 million. The largest single entry is more than $50 million in something called the Juggernaut Fund. Another major line item: more than $10 million in consulting fees from the Duquesne Family Office, the investment firm run by billionaire Stanley Druckenmiller.
None of his crypto and AI investments included a value range in the disclosure. It is unclear why. The ethics office&#8217;s rules do not require reporting assets valued under $1,000, which may explain the omission — though the gap leaves open questions about the full scope of his exposure to sectors the Fed&#8217;s interest rate decisions directly affect.
Powell&#8217;s Clock Is Running Out
Time is short. Powell&#8217;s second four-year term ends May 15. Trump first floated Warsh&#8217;s name in January, then formally sent his nomination to the Senate in March, following months of public pressure on Powell to cut interest rates. As of Tuesday, the Senate Banking Committee had not announced a hearing date, but reports indicated a vote could come as early as next week.
Whoever takes the Fed chair position wields enormous influence over US financial policy — most visibly through decisions on federal interest rates, which ripple through every corner of the economy, including the crypto and AI sectors where Warsh holds investments.

This comes amid the crypto market downtrend, with SOL suffering the largest drawdown among these coins. 
Solana Treasuries Struggling Worse Than Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP Treasuries
In an X post, Ted Pillows stated that Solana treasury companies are looking like “Solana memecoins.” He noted that they are already down 80% to 90%, but could go lower before the bottom. Notably, the Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP treasury companies have shown greater strength than these Solana treasuries. 
Ted Pillows highlighted the stock performance of the Solana treasury companies, Forward Industries, Sol Strategies, Sharps Technology, and DeFi Development Corporation (DFDV). Forward Industries, which is the largest Solana treasury, has seen its FWDI stock fall from a high above $40 last year to as low as $4. The stock is currently down over 80% in the last six months. 
It is worth noting that Solana has suffered a larger crash than Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP from their October 2025 peaks, which could explain why the Solana treasury companies have suffered larger crashes than the BTC, ETH, and XRP treasury companies. The SOL price is down almost 55% in the last six months, while BTC, ETH, and XRP are down less than 50% in the same period. 
Commenting on Ethereum treasury companies, Ted Pillows noted that they are showing some strength at the moment. However, he warned that this doesn’t mean that they have bottomed out, but that they could bring some buying pressure into ETH. The analyst added that after that, both ETH and treasury companies will go to new lows. Tom Lee’s Bitmine is currently the largest Ethereum treasury company and has seen its BMNR stock fall 60% in the last six months. 
Bitmine Is Holding The Largest Loss Among Treasury Companies
Ethereum treasury company Bitmine is currently seeing the largest unrealized loss among the crypto treasury companies. DropsTab data shows that Bitmine currently has an unrealized loss of $6 billion on its ETH holdings. The company has an average purchase price of $3,670 per ETH for its holdings. Despite the unrealized loss, Bitmine has profited from adopting an ETH strategy, with its stock price up 168% in the last year. 
Michael Saylor’s Strategy, which is the largest among the Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, and Solana treasury companies, also holds a significant unrealized loss of $1 billion. Strategy had seen an unrealized loss of up to $7 billion at one point as the BTC price dropped into the lower $60,000 range. Meanwhile, the company’s portfolio briefly flipped green yesterday as Bitcoin rose to $76,000, above Strategy’s average purchase price of $75,610.

thedefiant.io</dc:text></item><item><title>Bitcoin Faces Quantum Risk — New Proposal Could Lock Vulnerable Coins</title><description><![CDATA[Buried inside a new Bitcoin security proposal is a provision that could save stragglers from losing everything.
Anyone who misses the upgrade deadline but still holds their seed phrase would have a path to recovery through zero-knowledge proof technology — a last-resort mechanism built into the final phase of BIP-361, a draft posted to GitHub on Tuesday by cypherpunk Jameson Lopp and five co-authors.
The full proposal is a three-phase plan designed to protect Bitcoin from a threat that has quietly grown more serious: the eventual ability of quantum computers to crack the cryptographic keys protecting early Bitcoin addresses.
Satoshi&#8217;s Fortune At The Center Of It All
About 1.7 million BTC sits in old-style addresses known as P2PK — the kind used in Bitcoin&#8217;s earliest days. Those addresses expose public keys directly, making them vulnerable once quantum computing reaches sufficient power.
Satoshi Nakamoto&#8217;s stash alone is valued at roughly $74 billion at current prices. According to the proposal&#8217;s authors, if a bad actor gained quantum access to those coins, the damage to Bitcoin&#8217;s value and credibility could be severe.
BIP-361 builds on BIP-360, released in February, which introduced a new quantum-resistant address format called pay-to-Merkle-root, or P2MR. That earlier proposal protects new coins. BIP-361 tackles what BIP-360 left unresolved — the roughly 34% of Bitcoin&#8217;s total supply still sitting in vulnerable addresses.
The plan unfolds in stages. Three years after activation, sending BTC to old-style addresses would no longer be allowed. Two years after that, old-format signatures would be invalidated entirely.
Any coins that haven&#8217;t been moved by then would be frozen. The third phase — the rescue window — gives late movers a technical route to reclaim funds using proof of seed ownership.
The Community Response Has Been Blunt
The proposal landed hard among Bitcoin&#8217;s most vocal voices. Bitcoin Magazine&#8217;s editor rejected it outright. TFTC founder Marty Bent called it &#8220;laughable.&#8221; Metaplanet&#8217;s head of business development put the contradiction plainly: &#8220;We have to steal people&#8217;s money to prevent their money from being stolen.&#8221;
The authors anticipated the backlash. Based on their own framing, the freeze isn&#8217;t meant as punishment — it&#8217;s described as a defense against a worse outcome. Frozen coins, they argue, slightly increase the value of everyone else&#8217;s holdings. Quantum-stolen coins do the opposite.
This quantum proposal is highly authoritarian and confiscatory, but of course, it’s from Lopp.
There is no good rationale for forcing the upgrade and rendering old spends invalid. Upgrade should be 100% voluntary. pic.twitter.com/tQvJVgdPRY
— Cato The Elder (@CatoTheElder17) April 14, 2026
Protocol developer Mark Erhardt shared the proposal on X, where pushback came quickly. Critics called it &#8220;highly authoritarian and confiscatory&#8221; and questioned whether any deadline could justify making existing Bitcoin unspendable by its rightful owners. Lopp had not responded to requests for comment at the time of publication.
Whether BIP-361 moves forward depends on a consensus process that has historically resisted changes this significant. For now, it remains a draft — and a flashpoint.

X Launches New Crypto Cashtags
The pitch from X is straightforward: keep traders inside the timeline. In a post announcing the launch, X’s head of product Nikita Bier said, “???? has always been the best source of financial news for traders and investors. Billions of dollars are allocated every day based on what people read on Timeline. Today we’re launching our new Cashtags feature in the US and Canada on iPhone, bringing real-time financial data to X.”
Cashtags and contract addresses now trigger asset suggestions, allowing users to select the specific stock or crypto token they mean. Once selected, a tap on the Cashtag opens a feed of relevant posts alongside a price chart, all without forcing users off-platform.
Bier described that flow in product terms, but the market implication is clear. “When you search for or post a cashtag (or contract address), X will automatically suggest matching stocks or crypto tokens, so you can select the exact asset you had in mind. Anyone who taps a Cashtag will see posts mentioning it along with its price chart—without ever leaving X. This ensures that you’re always matched to the chatter for the right stock or token.”
For crypto users, that reduces one of the platform’s longstanding friction points: the gap between seeing a ticker trend and finding the corresponding asset context.
X also signaled that Cashtags are meant to evolve beyond a media feature into a transaction layer. Bier said, “Our vision is more than just charts. The content on X is valuable &amp; actionable, so trading should be frictionless. Today we’re also announcing a pilot integration with Wealthsimple, Canada’s leading brokerage. Users in Canada will see a button on Cashtags so they can trade seamlessly from X. This is just a small preview of what’s to come.”
That last point is the more consequential one. If Cashtags become the bridge between market conversation and execution, X moves from being a venue where crypto narratives form to one where they can also be expressed in trades. For now, the trading button is limited to a Canadian pilot via Wealthsimple, and the rollout remains narrow by geography and device. But the direction is unmistakable.
Bier also said web and Android support, along with a global launch, are coming “very soon.” For crypto that suggests X is trying to formalize a role the platform has informally held for years: not just the place where the market talks, but a place where discovery, pricing, and eventually execution converge in the same interface.
At press time, the total crypto market cap stood at $2.48 trillion.

This has to do with the zig-zag movement of the meme coin through the last few months, and depending on the direction of the next move, it could determine how the Dogecoin price could play out. Given this, a crypto analyst has given three different scenarios that could end up playing out for the digital asset soon.
Dogecoin Price Displays Kumo Cloud Behavior
Crypto analyst Trader Tardigarde pointed out a rather ineresting formation on the Dogecoin price chart using the 4-Hour chart. According to the analysis, the current Dogecoin up and down movement suggests the appearance of a Thin Cloud Behavior.
As Trader Tardigrade explains, the Dogecoin price movements through this thin cloud suggests that the meme coin is not seeing a lot of movement. This means that there is nothing that is currently blocking the price from moving. But the interesting part of this is that the price is not blocked in either direction. Thus, Dogecoin could push in any direction from here.
As a result, there are three scenarios that could play out for the cryptocurrency at this point. The first of these is the bearish one that could lead to a sustained downtrend. The Thin Cloud current lies between $0.092 and just below $0.093. If the price breaks below the bottom, then it could trigger a breakdown.
This breakdown would lead to the cloud actually thickening, eliminating the thin cloud currently being seen. Additionally, it would push the price further down, possibly breaking below the $0.09 level once again. However, there is still the possibility of a bullish scenario.
The second scenario highlighted by Trader Tardigrade is the the breakout, when the Dogecoin price successfully surges above the thin cloud. Such a move would put it in the breakout zone above $0.094, pushing the cloud from red to green. This would then be the first step before an even bigger move.
Last but not least is the third scenario, which the crypto analyst refers to as ‘Chop.’ In this case, the Dogecoin price would continue to revolve around the current thin cloud without any meaningful breakout in either direction. In this case, investors would have to wait for directional clarity to happen.
For now, the crypto analyst says that the Dogecoin price hasn’t committed to a single direction. And until it does, Trader Tardigrade says to “treat Kumo like air.” Thus, wait for the wind to change before taking a position.

Deutsche Börse Group Has Invested $200 Million In Kraken&#8217;s Parent Firm
According to a press release, Deutsche Börse Group has acquired a $200 million stake in Payward, the parent company behind crypto exchange Kraken. Founded back in 2011, Kraken is a US-headquartered digital asset platform that offers both spot and derivatives trading. The exchange first partnered up with Deutsche Börse Group back in December 2025. Now, it seems this investment will deepen the bridge between the two companies.
Deutsche Börse Group is one of the largest financial market infrastructure providers in the world. The aim behind its partnership with Kraken has been to bring institutional clients access to regulated digital asset services.
The company is making the investment in the crypto platform through the acquisition of shares in a secondary transaction, providing it with a 1.5% fully diluted stake in Payward.
The press release noted:
This investment highlights Deutsche Börse Group&#8217;s commitment to its digital asset strategy, which involves the development of a comprehensive, hybrid market infrastructure.
The transaction hasn&#8217;t yet gone through, with its completion hinging on customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. Deutsche Börse Group expects to close it within Q2 2026.
The Deutsche Börse investment isn&#8217;t the only reason Kraken has been in news recently. As reported by Bitcoinist, the exchange is being extorted by a criminal group, according to Nick Percoco, the exchange&#8217;s chief security officer.
The group is threatening to release videos of Kraken&#8217;s internal systems with client data shown if their demands aren&#8217;t met. Percoco stressed, however, that the platform won&#8217;t negotiate with these bad actors.
&#8220;Kraken identified and shut down two instances of inappropriate access to limited client support data,&#8221; said the security chief. Across these incidents, about 2,000 client accounts were potentially viewed, corresponding to 0.02% of the exchange&#8217;s userbase. Of note, no user funds have been at risk.
&#8220;We are actively working with federal law enforcement across multiple jurisdictions to pursue all individuals involved and bring them to justice,&#8221; noted Percoco.
Bitcoin &amp; The Wider Crypto Market Have Seen An Uplift In The Past Day
The crypto sector as a whole has enjoyed a rally during the last 24 hours, with many coins observing profits of more than 5%. Bitcoin has returned back to the $75,600 mark, as the below chart shows.
The run has followed a dip down to $70,500 on Monday. During this return of bullish momentum, Ethereum, the crypto second largest by market cap, has seen an even sharper surge than Bitcoin, climbing above $2,380 after a rally of 9%.

The ABA’s objection centers on the CEA’s analysis of stablecoin rewards—specifically, the idea that prohibiting yield on certain stablecoins would have little effect on bank lending or the broader credit market.
ABA Pushes Back On CLARITY Act Analysis
According to the American Bankers Association’s statement released on Monday, April 13, the “live” question for policymakers is not whether banning yield on payment stablecoins would change lending in the near term. 
Instead, the ABA says the central concern is what happens if yield on payment stablecoins is allowed—particularly whether it would encourage deposit flight, with the potential for deposit outflows to accelerate from community banks. 
The ABA argues that by concentrating on the effects of a prohibition, the CEA paper creates a “misleading sense of reassurance” while sidestepping the more consequential outcome: yield-paying payment stablecoins growing quickly.
In its critique, the country’s oldest national trade association pointed to the CEA’s headline conclusion, which it characterized as an estimate that prohibiting yield would increase bank lending by about $1.2 billion. 
The ABA responded that even if the direction of the estimates were correct, the figure is essentially a “rounding error” compared with typical quarterly shifts in bank lending. 
The association argued that even a directionally correct result still does not answer the key question policymakers need answered: what would be the lending and funding-cost impact of allowing yield as stablecoins expand from today’s market to a much larger one.
Stablecoin Sector To Surpass $1 Trillion?
The ABA emphasized why the size of the market matters. It said the baseline used in the CEA paper—described as an immature stablecoin market of roughly $300 billion—does not match the likely future scale. 
The ABA argued that when the stablecoin market grows to a projected range of $1–$2 trillion, yield would not be a minor feature. Instead, it would be the “mechanism” that could speed up migration out of bank deposits. 
In that larger-market context, the ABA said the credit effects could become economically meaningful even at the level of individual states. It cited its own analysis suggesting a $4–$8 billion reduction in lending in, for example, a single state like Iowa.
The Association concluded by warning policymakers not to take comfort from a study showing that prohibiting stablecoin yield might have a small near-term effect on aggregate lending. The association said that it is not the contested scenario. 
The contested scenario, according to the ABA, is whether allowing yield on payment stablecoins would accelerate deposit migration—again, especially from community banks—ultimately raising banks’ funding costs and reducing local credit availability.

Regulator Cites Tens Of Thousands Of Violations
South Korea&#8217;s Financial Intelligence Unit, operating under the Financial Services Commission, found that Coinone failed to verify the identities of users in roughly 70,000 cases.
The exchange was also accused of completing customer verification records even when key information was missing — and of allowing transactions to continue for customers whose identity checks had never been finished.
According to multiple South Korean media reports, the FIU flagged more than 10,000 transactions carried out with 16 foreign exchanges that had no registration with South Korean regulators. Regulators had warned Coinone about those dealings before. The exchange kept going anyway.
South Korea&#8217;s FIU fined Coinone $4M and hit the exchange with a three-month partial suspension over AML violations.
New customers are blocked from crypto deposits and withdrawals starting April 29.
— Token Metrics (@tokenmetricsinc) April 13, 2026
The FIU fined Coinone 5.2 billion won, equal to about $3.5 million. A three-month partial business suspension was also imposed, blocking new customers from depositing or withdrawing funds for the duration of the ban.
Chief executive officer Cha Myung-hoon received a formal reprimand, though reports note it carries no criminal weight — the action is administrative in nature. Coinone has 10 days to challenge the penalties before they are finalized.
Second Major Exchange Hit In A Month
This is not the first time South Korean authorities have gone after a major exchange in recent weeks. In March, Bithumb — the country&#8217;s second-largest crypto platform by trading volume — was fined $24 million and handed a six-month partial suspension over similar anti-money laundering failures.
That action came after Bithumb made headlines for a costly clerical error: the exchange accidentally sent customers 620,000 Bitcoin, valued at roughly $42 billion at the time, instead of 620,000 Korean won.
The blunder prompted the Bank of Korea to call on lawmakers to impose tighter controls on exchanges, including trading curbs that could kick in during unusual market activity or sharp price swings.
The exchange, ranked third in South Korea by size, now joins Bithumb as targets of what appears to be a widening regulatory push against crypto platforms in the country.
Officials said Monday that lawmakers should consider trading halt mechanisms tied to abnormal activity — a proposal that signals authorities are looking at structural fixes, not just fines.
How Coinone responds to the FIU&#8217;s action within its 10-day window will likely shape how the final penalties are written.

Farage’s Stack BTC Video Prompts Scrutiny
On Monday, UK Liberal Democrat deputy leader Daisy Cooper asked the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) CEO, Nikhil Rathi, to investigate Reform UK leader and Member of Parliament (MP) Nigel Farage over his ties to the crypto industry.
In the letter, the lawmaker highlighted Farage’s recent appearance in a promotional video for crypto treasury firm Stack BTC, in which he is also an investor, showing him purchasing roughly £2 million in Bitcoin.
As reported by Bitcoinist, the Reform UK leader bought 37 BTC, worth around $2.7 million, on Monday on behalf of the company, becoming the first sitting British MP and party leader to publicly back Bitcoin, Stack BTC noted.
Despite the triumph for crypto in British Politics, Cooper considers that Farage’s Bitcoin promotion, alongside his repeated support for digital assets, “raises extremely serious questions about potential market abuse, a conflict of interest, and exposure of ordinary people to financial harm.”
The lawmaker highlighted Farage’s campaigns to expand the use of digital assets in the UK, including establishing a Bitcoin reserve fund, reducing capital gains tax on crypto assets from 24% to 10%, and enacting legal safeguards to prevent banks from terminating accounts associated with digital currency transactions.
“Taken together, these facts beg the question whether Mr Farage is promoting cryptocurrencies through his political platform in order to inflate crypto values for his own financial benefit, as well as that of his party and his inner circle of donors,” Cooper argued.
She emphasized that “owning and trading cryptocurrencies is a perfectly legitimate activity when done in line with all relevant rules and regulations.” However, Cooper noted that Farage is an influential figure and no politician “should be exploiting their platform to potentially enrich themselves or specific vested interests.”
Based on this, the lawmaker considers that the FCA needs to establish “if this is another area in which the Reform UK leader is looking to copy the Donald Trump playbook,” citing the US first family’s profitable crypto projects and the conflict-of-interest calls from multiple democratic lawmakers over the past year.
She urged the FCA CEO to investigate whether Farage’s actions amount to “interference in the cryptocurrency market, whether they may constitute attempted market abuse, and whether his public statements may have exposed ordinary people to financial harm.”
UK Moves To Ban Crypto Donations
In the letter, Cooper also listed the $18 million crypto donations that Reform UK received in 2025 as a major concern. Last year, Reform UK became the first British political party to accept Bitcoin donations.
She highlighted the $12.2 million donation from Christopher Harborne, a major investor in Tether, the issuer of the world’s largest stablecoin, USDT. Harborne’s contribution became the largest political donation of its kind in UK history, drawing scrutiny from regulators.
Last month, the UK government announced measures to restrict political donations made in cryptocurrency and limit the amount that British citizens residing abroad can contribute to political parties.
Until recently, British law did not impose any restrictions on donations to political parties if they originated from individuals registered on the UK electoral register or from UK-registered organizations, such as trade unions.
Nonetheless, an independent review into foreign financial influence in British politics concluded that the threat of foreign financial interference is “real, persistent and sustained.” The review recommended stronger investigative and criminal tools to combat interference by foreign states.
With at least two-thirds of Reform UK’s funds reportedly originating from overseas donors, the new restrictions would significantly reduce one of the party’s most lucrative funding sources.

Jesse Spiro, who serves as head of government affairs for the stablecoin giant, was named chair of Fellowship PAC earlier this month — a crypto-aligned super PAC that says it has more than $100 million ready to spend on the 2026 US midterm elections.
First Spending On Record
The group&#8217;s opening move was a $300,000 ad buy backing Clay Fuller, a Republican who won a special election to fill the Georgia 14th Congressional District seat left open after Marjorie Taylor Greene stepped down. That spending was formally reported to the Federal Election Commission and disbursed this week, roughly a month before Georgia&#8217;s Republican primary on May 19.
Fellowship did not stop there. The PAC posted a list of endorsements to its account on X, backing Republican candidates in five states. The list includes Alan Wilson for South Carolina governor, Blake Miguez for Louisiana&#8217;s 5th Congressional District, Mike Collins for a Georgia Senate seat, Julia Letlow for a Louisiana Senate seat, Pete Ricketts for Nebraska&#8217;s Senate race, and Nate Morris in Kentucky&#8217;s Senate contest.
A Familiar Playbook
The crypto industry has done this before. During the 2024 election cycle, Fairshake PAC — another crypto-backed group — poured more than $130 million into congressional races across the country.
Reports indicate the spending may have shaped outcomes in battleground contests, including the Ohio Senate race. Fellowship appears to be following a similar strategy heading into 2026.
Super PACs are allowed by federal law to accept unlimited donations from individuals, corporations, labor unions, and other PACs, as long as the spending remains independent from any candidate&#8217;s official campaign.
Fellowship filed its statement of organization in 2025. Its financial backers have not been publicly identified — a legal but notable feature of how these groups operate.
Legislation Still Waiting
While money flows into midterm races, a major crypto bill sits unresolved in the Senate. The CLARITY Act, passed by the House of Representatives last July, was designed to be one of the most far-reaching pieces of legislation affecting the crypto and banking sectors.
It has since run into resistance over questions involving ethics provisions, stablecoin yield rules, and tokenized equities.
Reports say the Senate Banking Committee was considering a review session on the bill, but no date had been placed on the committee’s official calendar as of Monday.
A second Senate panel would also need to clear the legislation before it could advance to a full chamber vote. For now, the bill&#8217;s path forward remains uncertain — and the midterms may determine whether it ever gets one.

Crypto Market Liquidations Have Crossed $535 Million
According to data from CoinGlass, liquidations have piled up on cryptocurrency derivatives exchanges following the market volatility of the last 24 hours. &#8220;Liquidation&#8221; here refers to the forceful closure that any open contract undergoes after it has amassed losses of a certain percentage (as specified by the platform).
Below is a table that shows the relevant numbers related to the latest liquidations in the cryptocurrency sector.
In total, the market as a whole has suffered nearly $547 million in liquidations over the past day. Out of these, $446 million in contracts involved were short positions. This means that investors betting on a bearish outcome made up for over 81% of the liquidations. The dominance of short liquidations is naturally down to the fact that Bitcoin and other assets have gone up during the past day.
When broken down in terms of the individual symbols, BTC-related contracts appear on top, with $229 million worth of them getting flushed inside this window.
As is usually the case, Ethereum followed Bitcoin in second with $136 million in contracts involved. But interestingly, the third-largest asset in this metric wasn&#8217;t one of the usual suspects, but rather RaveDAO (RAVE), the asset currently ranked 27th by market cap. RaveDAO observing significant liquidations of $45 million is likely a result of the sharp 62% jump that it has witnessed over the last 24 hours.
A Mass liquidation event like today&#8217;s is popularly known as a squeeze. Since this squeeze involved bearish bets in the majority, it would be called a short squeeze. A property of a squeeze is that it involves a cascade of liquidations; an initial sharp swing in the price causes a market flush, which ends up feeding back into the price move, leading to further liquidations. As such, these events tend to be violent.
Liquidation squeezes aren&#8217;t exactly a rare sight in the cryptocurrency market, owing to the fact that coins can be volatile on a regular basis and positions tend to be overleveraged. Thus, while some positions have been flushed in the latest squeeze, it doesn&#8217;t mean that the risk of further liquidations has gone away.
The next investors affected could be those going long. As analytics firm Santiment has pointed out in an X post, the Ethereum Funding Rates have turned positive across exchanges, indicating the market balance has shifted toward long positions.
Generally, a squeeze is more likely to affect the side of the market that&#8217;s more dominant. Since the Funding Rates currently point to that side being the bullish investors, it&#8217;s possible that they could end up getting wrapped in a squeeze, should more volatility emerge.
BTC Price
Bitcoin pulled back to $70,500 on Monday, but the coin has kicked off Tuesday with a surge to $74,300.

Now Chris Giancarlo is following suit. The man once nicknamed &#8220;Crypto Dad&#8221; has walked away from law entirely to work full-time with cryptocurrency and financial technology companies, the latest in a string of senior regulators crossing into the industry they once helped oversee.
Giancarlo announced his departure from Willkie Farr &amp; Gallagher on Sunday, posting on X that he was done with legal practice for good.
Going forward, he said, his time would be spent advising founders, chief executives, and company boards in the fintech and digital assets space, alongside policy research and writing, and work with nonprofit programs.
From Government Office To Industry Adviser
His credentials in this area run deep. Giancarlo was sworn in as a Commodity Futures Trading Commission commissioner in 2014 under the Obama administration. US President Donald Trump later tapped him as chairman, a role he held from August 2017 through July 2018.
Some news: After six years building @WillkieFarr&#8216;s Digital Works, I’m retiring from law practice and heading out on an exciting new road – focusing on strategic roles rather than day-to-day operational responsibilities.
From here on, I’ll devote my time to advising founders &amp;…
— Chris Giancarlo (@giancarloMKTS) April 13, 2026
During that stretch, the first Bitcoin futures markets in the US were given the green light on his watch — a milestone that helped open the door to mainstream financial participation in crypto.
The &#8220;Crypto Dad&#8221; nickname was earned honestly. Giancarlo was openly supportive of the sector at a time when most regulators kept their distance, and he pushed for clear rules rather than outright restriction.
His advisory work is not new, either. He has been guiding the crypto-focused bank Sygnum on regulatory affairs and strategic partnerships, according to reports. The full-time shift, though, marks a clean break from his legal career.
Banks And The Push For Clearer Rules
Just weeks before the announcement, Giancarlo appeared on Scott Melker&#8217;s podcast and weighed in on the state of crypto regulation in the US.
He played down concerns about major legislative packages stalling in Congress, arguing that the CFTC and the Securities and Exchange Commission retain enough authority to bring meaningful structure to the industry on their own.
At the same time, he acknowledged that regulatory ambiguity continues to hold banks back from deeper involvement in digital assets. Getting financial institutions comfortable with the space, he said, requires modern rules that match where finance is actually heading.
Pham&#8217;s move to MoonPay as chief legal officer drew attention when it happened last year. Giancarlo&#8217;s exit from law adds fresh weight to a trend that shows no sign of slowing — experienced regulators planting their flags in an industry they spent years watching from the other side.

The price is at a decision point. And a CryptoQuant analyst has identified a supply structure beneath that resistance that has no precedent in the current cycle — and a clear one in the cycle that preceded it.
The analyst&#8217;s data reveals a 57% collapse in Ethereum&#8217;s exchange supply: reserves have fallen from approximately 35 million ETH to 14.9 million ETH — a reduction that leaves significantly less ETH available for immediate sale than at any comparable point during the 2020-2021 period. The coins have not disappeared. They have moved into the custody of holders who are not sending them to exchanges to sell.
The inflow data confirms the behavioral picture. Exchange inflows have increased recently — but the scale remains dramatically below the peaks of the 2021-2022 cycle top, when inflows approached the 10 to 20 million ETH range. The current clusters are a fraction of those peaks. Large-scale distribution — the kind that characterized the previous cycle&#8217;s top — is not present in the data.
Ethereum testing resistance with 57% less sellable supply than its previous cycle peak, and without the distribution behavior that accompanied that peak, is a structurally different test. The overhead exists. The ammunition to sustain it is historically thin.
Two Signals. One Conclusion
The analyst&#8217;s framework rests on the relationship between two independent data points that are currently moving in a configuration that has historically mattered. The first is what has happened to exchange reserves: a 57% collapse that has removed the majority of ETH&#8217;s immediately available sell-side supply from the market.
The second is what has not happened to exchange inflows: the extreme deposit spikes — 10 to 20 million ETH ranges — that characterized the 2021-2022 distribution phase have not returned. Holders are not flooding exchanges with ETH to take profit or cut losses at scale.
That combination — supply depleted, distribution absent — describes a market where the structural pressure for downside has been significantly reduced without the structural signal of panic that typically accompanies cycle bottoms at their most acute. The market is not experiencing forced selling at a scale that matches previous major lows. It is experiencing quiet.
The price context adds the final dimension. Ethereum is currently moving near the lows of previous correction ranges — the price levels that, in prior cycles, represented the zone where the risk-reward balance shifted in favor of patient capital rather than continued selling.
The analyst names this carefully: a constructive signal under current conditions. Not a confirmation. Not a guarantee. A structural alignment between depleted supply, absent distribution pressure, and historically significant price levels that, taken together, describes a market where the conditions for recovery are present even if the catalyst has not yet arrived.
Ethereum Reclaims Weekly Pivot as Recovery Tests Structure
Ethereum is trading near $2,350–$2,400 on the weekly timeframe, reclaiming a key pivot level that has repeatedly acted as both support and resistance throughout the current cycle. After the sharp drawdown earlier in 2026, ETH has staged a recovery from the $1,600–$1,800 region, where strong demand emerged and halted the decline.
The current structure reflects a market attempting to transition back toward equilibrium. Price is now interacting with the 100-week (green) and 200-week (red) moving averages, which are converging near the $2,300 zone. This area represents a critical technical threshold: reclaiming it suggests stabilization, while failure would reinforce the broader corrective trend.
The 50-week moving average (blue) is flattening and beginning to turn upward, indicating improving short-term momentum. However, ETH has not yet established a clear higher high on the weekly timeframe, which keeps the recovery unconfirmed.
Volume patterns remain consistent with a post-capitulation environment. The spike during the sell-off indicates forced liquidations, while the subsequent normalization suggests reduced stress but not strong accumulation.
Structurally, Ethereum is at a decision point. Sustained acceptance above $2,400 would open the path toward $2,800–$3,100, while rejection would likely return price toward the $2,000 support zone.

During the waning period, BTC transfer activity to trading platforms has experienced one of its steepest drops recently.
Binance Records Historically Low Bitcoin Deposits
As Monday drew to a close, the Bitcoin price saw a brief rebound back above the $73,000 mark, flipping sentiment bullish once again across the market. This new bounce may be attributed to several factors underneath the surface, such as the BTC transfer activity to cryptocurrency exchanges.
Currently, inflows to Binance, the world’s largest trading platform, have fallen to record low levels, indicating a significant change in the dynamics of Bitcoin flow. Darkfost, a market expert and data analyst, announced that BTC inflows have now reached levels last seen in 2022 as the market stays on hold.
The decline collides with growing uncertainty in the market, fueled by global events, making the current environment particularly difficult to interpret. Such a lack of visibility prevents investors from making conviction-driven positioning, mainly in risk assets such as Bitcoin. 
Despite these unfavorable conditions, panic is not appearing among BTC investors. According to data from the chart, the 30-day moving average now stands around 3,998 BTC, marking a more than 6-year low when compared to levels observed in the 2020 cycle.
This dramatic drop implies that fewer holders are transferring their BTC to crypto exchanges, a pattern sometimes linked to a decrease in the desire to sell right away. Furthermore, this trend can lead to the tightening of the available supply of BTC on these platforms, which could change the short-term behavior of the market.
A Massive Distinction From Periods Of Stress Or Euphoria
Even in periods of stress or euphoria, the aforementioned figure is far from those seen then. In July 2023, there was an average of 19,000 BTC sent to exchanges per day. Also, in May 2023, over 25,000 BTC were moved daily to exchanges on average. 
With a historical average of approximately 11,000 BTC, the present levels are about three times lower than that. Thus, a clear dynamic is being reflected by this sharp contraction in inflows. Investors are not exhibiting any desire to move their BTC onto exchanges to sell. 
However, they seem to be adopting a holding strategy, which mechanically reduces short-term selling pressure. As inflow activity dries up, this situation could be a sign of renewed confidence or a cooling phase before the next wave of volatility hits the market, as evidenced on Sunday.
Darkfost argues that a structural shift may also be at play here, with some flows currently being moved through alternative mediums such as ETFs (Exchange-Traded Funds). Using the vehicles ultimately reduces visible BTC movements toward crypto exchanges.
In the end, this kind of signal indicates a market that is more in a waiting period than a capitulation. At the same time, BTC holders remain largely passive rather than panicked, even in an uncertain situation.

A direct comparison between Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs reveals a modest correlation in capital flows, suggesting similar investor behavior between the two assets. In contrast, XRP and Solana ETFs have experienced relatively subdued activity, likely impacted by persistent market volatility and a prevailing risk-off sentiment among investors.
Bitcoin And Ethereum ETF Performance This Past Week
Data from SoSoValue shows that Spot Bitcoin ETFs have seen stronger inflows than outflows since the start of last week. On April 6, Bitcoin ETFs posted their largest single-day inflow since the beginning of March, with more than $471.3 million flowing into these investment products. BlackRock’s IBIT had led this massive inflow with approximately $181.9 million. This was followed by Fidelity’s FBTC, which recorded inflows of about $147.3 million. 
Following this, Bitcoin ETFs saw sharp outflows for two consecutive days, with $159.05 million withdrawn on April 7 and another $125.55 million leaving the fund on April 8. The decline in flows coincided with the US-Iran ceasefire announcement, which ironically should have bolstered market sentiment and yielded more positive results. However, the outflows continued, with Fidelity’s FBTC recording the highest outflows, followed by Grayscale’s GBTC and BlackRock’s IBIT.
On April 9 and 10, investors appeared to shift significantly, likely due to easing geopolitical pressures. This change was reflected in strong demand, with Bitcoin ETFs recording total inflows of more than $598.5 million on both days. However, the rebound proved short-lived. As of today, April 13, the funds have turned negative again, recording more than $291.1 million in outflows.  
Similar to Bitcoin ETFs, Ethereum Spot ETFs have also recorded more inflows than outflows since last week. On April 6, the ETF posted its largest inflow since March 17, with more than $120.24 million entering the fund. However, this momentum was quickly reversed. The next two days saw notable outflows totaling $83.3 million, with most of these withdrawals coming from Fidelity’s FETH and BlackRock’s ETHA. 
Since this decline, Ethereum ETFs have returned to positive territory, recording three consecutive days of inflows totaling more than $159.5 million. The flow patterns observed across both Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs indicate a similar trend, with investors adjusting their exposure in response to market conditions. 
How Solana And XRP ETFs Have Fared
Compared with Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, XRP and Solana ETFs have experienced relatively muted investor demand. XRP ETFs, in particular, have attracted only about $13.8 million in total inflows since last week, underscoring their reduced demand. 
On April 6, XRP ETF recorded zero flows, followed by modest inflows of $3.32 million on April 7. Activity stalled again on April 8, with zero flows, before a slight reversal on April 9, when the funds posted an outflow of $671,160. Momentum improved briefly on April 10, as XRP ETFs recorded their largest inflow since early February, with more than $9.09 million entering the funds, followed by an additional $1.46 million the next day.
In contrast, Solana ETFs have recorded total inflows of just $11.69 million since last week, reflecting relatively low participation. April 6 and 7 saw modest positive flows totaling over $1.17 million. This was followed by a sharp reversal, with outflows exceeding $17 million, before activity declined again on April 9 with zero flows.  
Demand briefly returned on April 10, when the fund attracted another $11.45 million, marking its highest inflow since early March. Overall, recent activity in both altcoin ETFs stands in stark contrast to investor behavior in Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, suggesting a more cautious stance toward altcoins and comparatively weaker demand.

Discover What Happened In 2022</title><description><![CDATA[Bitcoin is trying to reclaim $75,000. The debate about where it goes next has not been this divided in months. And while analysts argue about whether the bottom is in or still coming, the on-chain data has quietly produced a pattern that most of them are not discussing.
CryptoQuant analysts tracking Bitcoin&#8217;s exchange flow structure have identified a development that sidesteps the opinion divide entirely: since March, the flow of Bitcoin into futures exchanges — rather than spot exchanges — has been intensifying in a pattern that closely mirrors the behavior observed following the FTX collapse in December 2022.
That comparison carries weight precisely because of what it is not. It is not a price comparison. It is not a sentiment comparison. It is a structural behavioral match — the specific way capital was flowing through exchange infrastructure at the moment the last bear market bottomed and the next cycle began. The pattern appeared then. It is appearing now.
The analysts calling for a drop below $60,000 are reading the price chart. The analysts calling for a slow recovery are reading the macro environment. Neither group is talking about what the futures flow data is saying — which is that the market&#8217;s structural behavior is beginning to resemble something the on-chain record has seen before, at a moment that, in retrospect, mattered enormously.
The Pattern Is Present. The Confirmation Is Not Yet
The CryptoQuant analysts draw the interpretation carefully — and the care is warranted. The intensification of Bitcoin flows into futures exchanges rather than spot exchanges, mirroring the post-FTX behavior from December 2022, points toward a specific structural development: leveraged positioning is returning to the market.
Traders are not just holding Bitcoin. They are beginning to use it as collateral for directional bets — the behavioral signature of participants who believe a sustained move is approaching and want amplified exposure to it.
That behavior, appearing at this price level and this stage of the cycle, carries a specific historical implication. The last time this pattern emerged — following the FTX collapse, at what proved to be the cycle bottom — it marked the early stages of a new cycle rather than a continuation of the bear market. The analysts&#8217; assessment follows that directly: the bear market may be drawing to a close.
The word &#8220;may&#8221; is doing necessary work in that sentence. Bitcoin is struggling to find direction after weeks of consolidation, and the market has not yet produced the price confirmation that would convert the structural signal into a declared trend reversal. The futures flow pattern describes what participants are doing. It does not yet describe where the price is going.
Two conditions currently coexist: a structural behavioral signal that historically preceded cycle recoveries, and a price chart that has not yet decided to reflect it. That gap — between what the on-chain data suggests and what the price has confirmed — is exactly where the market has lived for weeks. The resolution of that gap is the move the market has been consolidating toward.
Bitcoin Tests Resistance as Recovery Attempts Strengthen
Bitcoin is pushing toward the $74,000–$75,000 region, testing a key resistance zone after recovering from the sharp February breakdown. The chart shows a clear transition from capitulation to consolidation, followed by a gradual series of higher lows. This structure suggests that buyers are regaining control in the short term.
However, the broader trend remains unresolved. BTC is still trading below the 100-day (green) and 200-day (red) moving averages, both trending downward, which reinforces the presence of overhead resistance. The 50-day moving average (blue) has started to turn upward and is acting as dynamic support, indicating improving short-term momentum.
Volume dynamics provide important context. The spike during the February sell-off reflects forced liquidations, while the subsequent normalization suggests the market has stabilized but lacks strong conviction. The recent push higher has not been accompanied by a significant increase in volume, raising questions about the strength of the move.
Structurally, Bitcoin is approaching a decision point. A confirmed break above $75,000 would likely shift momentum and open the path toward the $80,000–$85,000 range. Failure to break higher could result in another rejection and a return to the $68,000–$70,000 support zone.

Co-CEO Unveils Kraken’s Mission
Sethi said Kraken’s goal is to give customers access to advanced trading and “directional bets” that are often available only to institutions. He compared that aspiration to the kinds of quantitative and market infrastructure used by major names like Citadel, Jane Street, and JPMorgan. 
“What they want at the end of the day is what Citadel and Jane Street have, or JPMorgan has, and they want it accessible to them,” Sethi said. He added, “That’s our mission: How do we make all these products open. We want to be able to help enable what you want to do with your own capital.”
During the same appearance, Sethi also addressed broader concerns about technology—specifically, fears that artificial intelligence could significantly disrupt software-as-a-service businesses. 
According to Semafor’s report on the matter, he argued that those worries have been overstated. “There’s always a certain set of companies that get disrupted by technology, and that has continued to happen,” he said. 
He also noted that many modern businesses are already built on software, saying, “I also don’t think there are companies today that aren’t run by software in some ways, and so today we’re seeing AI just proliferating at a faster and faster pace.”
Deutsche Börse Deal
Kraken’s IPO filing comes on the heels of a major ownership move reported earlier on April 14. Deutsche Börse, the German exchange operator, said Tuesday that it acquired a $200 million stake in Kraken. 
The investment was made through the purchase of existing shares in a secondary market transaction, according to Reuters, and results in a fully diluted stake of 1.5%, Deutsche Börse said. 
Deutsche Börse said the new investment is intended to deepen that relationship. It described the expanded cooperation as covering regulated crypto, tokenized markets, and derivatives, along with improved liquidity for institutional clients across different geographies.

In recent remarks, Garlinghouse pointed to May as the most important month to watch for passage, arguing that the stablecoin yield dispute, which has held up the legislation since January, is nearing a resolution.
Ripple CEO Signals Resolution Progress
Garlinghouse’s comments came during a panel at the Semafor World Economy Summit in Washington on April 13. According to reporting by 24/7 Wall St., Ripple&#8217;s executive told the audience that the dispute over stablecoin yield is nearing resolution. 
He suggested the political process is reaching the point where compromise becomes more likely, saying, “When people are at their peak frustration, that&#8217;s when they finally compromise, and it gets done,” before adding, “I think we&#8217;re there.”
While he did not name a specific day for a vote, Garlinghouse’s timeframe matches what he had previously signaled. His outlook had already shifted once: when he spoke at the FII Priority Miami Summit on March 27, Ripple&#8217;s CEO moved his expectation from April to the end of May. 
Other figures in the administration have echoed that progress is happening beyond just the stablecoin yield dispute. White House crypto adviser Patrick Witt said on April 13 that negotiations have made meaningful progress behind the scenes on issues beyond stablecoin yield. 
“All of these issues felt intractable and unsolvable at one point in time,” Witt said. He added that the fact that many of those problems have already been narrowed gives him confidence that the remaining hurdles can be addressed as well.
CLARITY Act Could Be Delayed Until 2027
Senator Thom Tillis is expected to release a revised draft of the stablecoin yield agreement as early as this week. If both sides accept the updated version, the Senate Banking Committee can finally schedule the markup that has been paused since January.
Even so, the bill still faces steps that can’t be skipped. Ripple’s CEO may be pointing to May as the likely target, but committee timing remains uncertain. 
Banking Committee Chairman Tim Scott has not yet set a markup date, and while some lawmakers are still aiming for late April, the schedule could still slide depending on how negotiations play out and how quickly the committee advances the text.
Senators Hagerty and Lummis have both said a late April vote is still the target. Senator Bernie Moreno, however, offered a sharper warning. 
He said that if the CLARITY Act does not reach the Senate floor by May, it could be shelved until 2027, citing the likelihood that midterm campaign activity will take over after summer and push major legislative action off the calendar.
At the time of writing, Ripple’s associated cryptocurrency, XRP, was trading at $1.37. It had surged by 5% over the previous week, in line with the broader crypto market’s recovery during that period.

Even as the price of ETH has fallen sharply from its new peak, user activity on the leading blockchain network is experiencing robust growth, with more operations being carried out on a daily basis.
Rising On-Chain Activity Contrasts With Declining Price
In a highly uncertain and volatile cryptocurrency environment, the Ethereum network appears to be thriving, experiencing robust interest and engagement. ETH’s current network strength is evident, particularly in the number of transactions processed on the blockchain each day.
The daily transaction counts on the network have exploded while price action continues to struggle to regain bullish momentum. This mismatch between market performance and fundamentals often indicates underlying strength that may not yet be represented in valuation.
Reports from Everstake, the largest global non-custodial staking infrastructure provider, revealed that the Ethereum network is making history, recording over 3.6 million transactions on April 12, 2026. As of today, this figure marks the strongest daily activity on the network since its existence. 
What makes this quite interesting is the fact that ETH’s price is still trading about 55% below its all-time high. The increase in on-chain activity indicates that consumers are still actively participating in the network despite the lack of price change.
EverstaKe added that this trend creates a notable divergence because network activity is at peak levels in the absence of complete price strength. In the past, such gaps have demonstrated a tendency to narrow over time.
Adding to the network growth, the platform highlighted that Ethereum is now one of the strongest foundations it has ever had. Since choosing ETH, there have been record levels of usage, a deeply established ecosystem, and continued progress in scaling and development.
In many ways, this progress highlights a simple dynamic where price typically follows fundamentals, not the other way around. Meanwhile, Everstake stated that the fundamentals are already in place.
Ethereum Sees Stablecoin Supply Peak
As the financial sector grows, the Ethereum network is steadily emerging as the major settlement layer for on-chain finance activity. The stablecoin supply managed on the leading network is rising at a significant rate over the years.
In an X post, Leon Waidmann, a researcher and optimist, shared that stablecoin supply on ETH has reached a new all-time high. Data shows over $180 billion has been added to the network over the past 3 years, representing a 150% increase within the period.
Currently, Ethereum controls about 60% market share in stablecoins. In the next 4 years, an additional $1.7 trillion is set to go on-chain, and ETH could dominate this revenue. Even if Ethereum&#8217;s market share eventually drops from 60% to 50%, it still means that by 2030, the ETH network will secure almost $850 billion in new stablecoin supply.

A technical analysis posted on X claims the market is once again tracing the same structure seen in prior bear phases, only this time with a slower tempo, deeper institutional involvement, and a more controlled trading environment. However, the outlook of this analysis is that the downtrend is still not complete.
Familiar Bitcoin Script Is Showing Up Again
The concept of the analysis is that the Bitcoin price keeps moving through the same emotional and structural framework from one cycle to the next. In that framework, the Bitcoin price first pushes into a parabolic advance, then enters distribution, suffers a violent break lower, stages a misleading recovery, and eventually grinds into a final capitulation. 
That is the same pattern that appeared in 2018 and again in 2022, and in this reading, 2026 is now occupying the same late-stage position, only on a larger scale and with lower volatility.
That timing element is important, and it supports an extended bearish case in the months to come. History shows prior cycle bottoms formed a year after the all-time high, not immediately after the first large drawdown. By that logic, the Bitcoin price may still be too early in the process for a lasting bottom, especially if this cycle peak is treated as the October 2025 high at $126,080.
Where Does Bitcoin Go From Here?
The technical structure is only part of the case. Technical analysis from a crypto analyst known as BLADE on the social media platform X leaned on on-chain signals, particularly long-term holder stress and NUPL, to argue that the reset is incomplete. 
Glassnode&#8217;s Net Unrealized Profit/Loss measures whether the network is sitting on aggregate paper profits or losses. The farther it moves from zero, the closer the market tends to get to major extremes. What this means is that true cycle lows usually arrive when investors are much deeper in pain, and sentiment has turned miserable.
CryptoQuant said on April 1 that Bitcoin spot demand is still in deep contraction despite growing institutional buying. This means that the market’s internal strength has not fully caught up with headline demand from large allocators, and the Bitcoin price might continue to struggle until it does.
There&#8217;s also an interesting template that Bitcoin might follow based on its previous two major bear markets. The 2017 bull run peaked and gave way to a bear market that ultimately caused an approximately 84% drawdown from top to bottom. The 2021 cycle followed a similar script, with Bitcoin&#8217;s top-to-bottom decline ending at about 77%.
At current prices around $74,680, Bitcoin is trading 40.8% below that October top, which means there could be more downside ahead. Furthermore, previous bear market bottoms arrived about 360 to 370 days after the prior cycle&#8217;s peak. This sequence would point to a potential cycle bottom somewhere in Q3 or Q4 2026.

Republican U.S. Senator Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) claimed this Monday he aims to unveil a draft deal this week to break the stalemate over stablecoin yield between banks and crypto firms. According to Politico, he has been collaborating with Sen. Angela Alsobrooks (D‑Md.) on new CLARITY Act language designed to finally settle whether crypto companies can pay interest on idle stablecoin holdings.
According to the report, the text has already been shared with both banking groups and crypto firms. Banks still oppose key elements, the report says, and Tillis has left room for changes.
The already long-standing yield dispute is the main roadblock keeping the landmark CLARITY Act stuck in the Senate, even after the House passed its version last year. Although the GENIUS Act that was passed last year prohibits stablecoin issuers from paying interest directly to holders, it still allows third‑party platforms like exchanges to offer yield.
At the beginning of the month, Coinbase&#8217;s chief legal officer Paul Grenwal suggested that negotiators in the Senate were “very close” to a deal on the CLARITY Act’s most contentious crypto issue: the stablecoin yield.
The Stablecoin Yield Dispute
Let&#8217;s remember the dispute lays on the fact that yield-bearing stablecoins compete directly with traditional bank deposits because they offer dollar-denominated assets that can move instantly on-chain while still paying attractive returns, thus making them a compelling alternative to savings and money-market accounts.
Banks fear this could drain deposits that fund their lending and investment activities, especially from younger and more digitally native customers who are comfortable holding value in tokenized form. As a result, they push for strict limits or outright bans on interest-like payments to stablecoin holders, arguing that such products should be regulated like banking and that unchecked yield could undermine financial stability and their core funding base.
From the crypto side, however, yield on parked stablecoin balances is seen as a fundamental feature: it’s one of the main ways exchanges and DeFi platforms attract and retain users by turning idle cash into a revenue-generating product. These returns help differentiate on-chain dollars from traditional bank accounts, support token incentive programs, and deepen liquidity across lending markets, perpetuals, and automated market makers.
For many platforms, cutting off or sharply limiting stablecoin yield would hit their core business model, weaken DeFi integrations, and make it harder to compete for global capital that can move to more permissive jurisdictions with a few clicks.
What This Means For The Market
Lately, the emerging policy line seems to be in the direction of no “passive” yield for idle balances, but possible rewards tied to payments, transfers, and other “active use”. Tillis’ compromise draft is meant to codify around it, clarifying what counts as prohibited interest versus allowed activity-based rewards.
The way the U.S. defines stablecoin yield will shape dollar competition with foreign central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) and offshore stablecoin venues that still offer yield. U.S. exchanges may have to pivot to activity-based “rewards” and offshore platforms could attract yield-chasing capital.
Any final text will heavily influence stablecoin APY, liquidity, and where serious traders park their dry powder.

Goldman Sachs: A Different Kind Of Bitcoin Play
Goldman Sachs has filed paperwork with the Securities and Exchange Commission for a Bitcoin Premium Income ETF, a fund designed to give investors Bitcoin exposure while generating regular income through options trading.
The bank plans to put at least 80% of the fund&#8217;s assets into products tied to Bitcoin&#8217;s price — including shares of existing spot Bitcoin ETFs and options on those funds — rather than buying Bitcoin outright.
To produce income, Goldman intends to sell call options on Bitcoin ETF holdings at a premium. That strategy lets the fund collect fees from options buyers. The tradeoff is a cap on how much upside investors can capture if Bitcoin&#8217;s price shoots higher.
The Second Bank To Make A Move
Goldman&#8217;s filing comes on the heels of a similar push from Morgan Stanley, which launched its own spot Bitcoin ETF last week — making it the first bank-issued Bitcoin ETF on record.
Goldman Sachs is now the second major bank to enter this space, though its product takes a different approach. Morgan Stanley went the direct route with a spot fund. Goldman is building around options and indirect exposure.

The filing landed as Bitcoin was already making a move. The leading cryptocurrency climbed as high as $76,000 on the day Goldman&#8217;s registration statement was submitted to the SEC, before pulling back to around $75,000.
Goldman Sachs: What The Filing Covers
According to the SEC document, the fund may hold spot Bitcoin ETF shares and Bitcoin ETF options directly. Goldman noted in its prospectus that the fund&#8217;s income-generating mechanism centers on selling covered call options against those holdings.
That kind of structure is already common in equity income funds, but applying it to Bitcoin marks a relatively new direction for a bank of Goldman&#8217;s size.
No fee details or a launch date have been disclosed. The SEC has not yet approved the fund. Goldman Sachs manages roughly $3.6 trillion in assets across its operations.
The filing adds to a broader wave of institutional involvement in Bitcoin-linked investment products. With two of Wall Street&#8217;s largest banks now formally in the game, the push to bring Bitcoin into mainstream finance through regulated vehicles shows no sign of slowing.

With billions of dollars flowing through the asset as it trades sideways near $1.37, attention is shifting from price action to what this surge in participation reveals about current market behavior and what may come next.
Understanding What The XRP Volume Surge Represents
The recent spike in XRP’s trading volume is not just a numerical increase; it reflects how market participants are engaging with the asset at this stage. On April 11, 2026, analyst Xfinancebull pointed to a significant imbalance between derivatives and spot activity, with futures volume reaching $1.74 billion compared to $295 million in spot trading, alongside a market capitalization of about $82.43 billion.
This contrast highlights a market that is active, but not in a straightforward way. Futures markets are typically used by traders positioning ahead of expected price movement, rather than reacting to immediate changes. The fact that such high derivatives activity is taking place while the price remains steady suggests that participants are preparing for a move—either up or down—rather than simply buying and holding the asset.
The exchange heatmap included in the data further supports this. Volume is spread across major global platforms, led by Binance at approximately $893.59 million and Coinbase at $576.69 million. Other exchanges such as Bybit, OKX, and Gate each contribute over $190 million, while Kraken, Bitget, Crypto.com, and Bitstamp add further depth. This widespread participation shows that the surge is not isolated, but instead reflects consistent activity across the broader market.
How Sustained Volume Could Shape Market Direction
The key implication of this sustained volume lies in what it reveals about market behavior during a stable price phase. When high volume comes in without moving the price, it usually means accumulation and distribution are happening at the same time. Some participants are buying heavily, while others are selling into that demand, keeping prices steady.
This behavior often happens before a breakout. Once one side, either the buyers or the sellers, runs out of supply or demand, the price typically moves sharply in the direction of the stronger side.
At the same time, the relatively lower spot volume compared to futures trading introduces an element of caution. It indicates that while traders are actively positioning through derivatives, full commitment in the underlying asset remains measured. This balance helps explain why the price continues to move sideways despite the scale of activity behind it.
Overall, the spike in XRP volume means the market is preparing for a significant move. Large amounts of capital are already in play, positions are being built across multiple exchanges, and leverage is high. The only missing piece is a trigger strong enough to break the current balance between buyers and sellers, which would then push XRP out of its current range.

He noted that the XRP Ledger isn’t proof of stake, but highlighted that other infrastructure is in place for holders to earn yields. 
Expert Reveals How Holders Can Earn Passive Income
In an X post, Cage stated that in the next few years, crypto investors will likely be able to earn 5% to 10% on their holdings in multiple ways. He specifically alluded to XRP, noting it isn’t proof of stake, but that yield is coming through a new infrastructure being built. The expert added that today’s options are limited and that the altcoin is mostly just idle capital, but that is changing. 
As to what yield could look like, Cage stated that the lending markets could provide 3% to 8% yield, institutional vaults could provide 5% to 12% yield, and RWA integrations could provide 4% to 10% yield. Additionally, he mentioned cross-chain yield, with the Flare network already providing ways for XRP holders to earn yield on its network. 
Other firms of yields for holders could also come through ‘Set it and forget it Yield accounts,’ wallets, applications, and exchanges that embed yields for several products. Cage also cited risky DeFi products that could give XRP holders up to 20% yield but advised against them. 
He described Collateralized Debt Positions (CDPs) as the ‘big one’ for holders to earn yields, in which they use their holdings as collateral. They can borrow against their XRP, access liquidity without selling their asset, and the loans are not taxable events. Cage added that this is what billionaires do when they borrow against their stocks rather than sell them, triggering taxes. 
Pundit Highlights Common Yield Strategies
XRP pundit BankXRP also recently highlighted common yield strategies, including CeFi lending and competitive APY. He also mentioned XRPL AMM liquidity pools, which give yields to holders who provide liquidity to the pool. Lastly, the pundit alluded to Flare’s FXRP and earnXRP mechanism. 
It is worth noting that XRP treasury company Evernorth is collaborating with XRPL developers to introduce native XRP lending through the proposed XLS-66 amendment. This is expected to unlock up to $100 billion in idle XRP capital, as holders, including institutional investors, lend their holdings for yield. 
Evernorth Chief Business Officer Sagar explained that this development was key, as it would provide a safer way for holders to earn yields without bridging their assets to other networks. He also noted that bridging one’s assets to other networks triggers a taxable event, which is why it is better to earn yields natively on the Ledger. 
At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $1.36, up over 3% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.
