The draft rule translates the statute’s requirements into concrete anti‑money‑laundering (AML) and sanctions‑compliance obligations for permitted payment stablecoin issuers (PPSIs), bringing the industry closer to clear standards.
Stablecoin Issuers To Follow Bank Secrecy Act Rules 
The GENIUS Act directs that PPSIs be treated as financial institutions under the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) and be subject to the full range of federal rules that apply to US financial firms. 
Treasury’s proposal follows that instruction, seeking to tailor requirements to the scale of each PPSI while aiming to reduce potential illicit‑finance vulnerabilities and protect national security. 
In essence, the draft rule sets out how stablecoin issuers must detect, report, and block unlawful activity while maintaining the tools needed to comply with lawful orders.
Issuers would be obliged to establish and maintain anti‑money‑laundering and countering‑the‑financing‑of‑terrorism (CFT) programs. These programs must be structured and documented to align with the core expectations of regulated entities as outlined by OFAC. 
Issuers are also mandated to adhere to recordkeeping and reporting rules, furnishing OFAC with certifications submitted to their primary federal or state payment stablecoin regulator to confirm the presence of a robust sanctions program.
Additionally, these programs are required to include provisions for reporting suspicious activities and technical capabilities to detect and handle transactions that breach federal or state laws, regulations, or court orders promptly. 
Payment stablecoin issuers must also possess the capacity to act swiftly in compliance with lawful orders and maintain effective sanctions compliance programs in accordance with OFAC standards.
Compliance Under The GENIUS Act
Treasury emphasized that the proposal is meant to be proportionate and adaptable. The GENIUS Act tasks the Secretary of the Treasury with issuing regulations tailored to the size and complexity of PPSIs, and the draft rule reflects that directive by focusing on outcomes and capabilities rather than a one‑size‑fits‑all checklist.
If finalized, the GENIUS Act rule would mark a significant step toward integrating payment stablecoins into the US regulatory regime for financial institutions. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on the matter: 
President Trump is strengthening American leadership in digital financial technology. This proposal will protect the US financial system from national security threats without hindering American companies’ ability to forge ahead in the payment stablecoin ecosystem.

This follows an agreement between the U.S. and Iran to a 2-week ceasefire as they work towards a peaceful settlement of the war. 
Why The Bitcoin, XRP, And Dogecoin Prices Are Up Today
The Bitcoin, XRP, and Dogecoin prices are up over 4% today, according to CoinMarketCap data. This comes amid the announcement by both the U.S. and Iran of a 2-week ceasefire. In a Truth Social post, U.S. President Donald Trump announced that both sides had agreed to a temporary ceasefire and that Iran also agreed to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. 
Bitcoin, XRP, and Dogecoin prices also rose as Trump announced that, as part of the ceasefire, he has agreed to suspend bombing and attacks on Iran for 2 weeks. This came just as the president’s deadline to attack Iran’s energy infrastructure neared, with the president already threatening to wipe out their ‘civilization.’
Trump also signaled that they are close to reaching a peaceful and conclusive settlement of the war, which is also a positive for the Bitcoin, XRP, and Dogecoin prices. He noted that they have already met and exceeded all military objectives and are very far along with a definitive agreement concerning long-term peace with Iran and peace in the Middle East. 
Specifically, Trump revealed that they had received a 10-point proposal from Iran and that they believe it is a workable basis for negotiation. He added that almost all the points have been agreed to by the U.S. and Iran, and that the two-week period will allow them to finalize and consummate the agreement. 
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi also posted a statement on X confirming the 2-week ceasefire in the U.S.-Iran war. He stated that Iran will cease its defensive operations as long as U.S.-Israeli attacks are halted. Araghchi also confirmed that they will ensure safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz over the next two weeks. 
More Short Positions Liquidated 
The Bitcoin, XRP, and Dogecoin prices have also surged as more short positions are liquidated in the last 12 hours amid the agreement to a 2-week ceasefire by the U.S. and Iran. Over this period, $400 million in short positions have been liquidated while $110 million in long positions have been liquidated, according to CoinGlass data. 
It is worth noting that oil prices have crashed following the agreement of a ceasefire. Both Brent crude and WTI oil futures have crashed below $100, down 14% and 8%, respectively, in the last 24 hours. This comes as traders begin to price in a long-term settlement between the U.S. and Iran, which is a positive for the Bitcoin, XRP, and Dogecoin prices.

Find Out What Actually Caused It</title><description><![CDATA[Bitcoin surged above $72,000 yesterday and is holding above $70,000 today. The narrative of a bottom is building. And an XWIN Research Japan analysis is asking the more important question: not whether Bitcoin has bounced, but whether anyone understands why it fell.
The report from XWIN Research Japan reframes the past six months in a way that changes how the current recovery should be read. Bitcoin is not, in their framework, a standard risk asset that rises and falls with market sentiment. It is a terminal liquidity asset — the last recipient in a hierarchical financial system where capital flows from central banks to government bonds to equities and finally, at the very end of the chain, to crypto. When the upstream flow weakens, Bitcoin does not experience demand destruction. It receives nothing. The capital simply never arrives.
That is what happened over the past six months. Elevated US interest rates, a strengthening dollar, and rising Japanese bond yields simultaneously tightened global liquidity from multiple directions. Japan — one of the largest external investors in global markets — reduced its capital exports as domestic bond yields made home markets more attractive. The result was not investors selling Bitcoin. It was investors who never bought it.
The bounce above $72,000 is visible. Whether the conditions that prevented the capital from arriving have changed is the question the price chart cannot answer.
The Sell-Off Was Not Spot. It Was Credit
The analysis adds the second layer that completes the structural picture. As global liquidity tightened and capital stopped reaching Bitcoin, the derivatives market compounded the damage through a mechanism separate from — and more destructive than — simple selling.
Excess leverage accumulated during the bull run began unwinding in cascading liquidations. Each forced exit consumed demand that would have entered the market in future sessions. The downside was not just the selling that happened. It was the buying that was destroyed before it could occur.
The on-chain data confirms this interpretation without contradicting it. STH-SOPR holding below 1.0 for sustained periods reflected short-term holders realizing losses — an outcome of the liquidity squeeze, not its cause. The Coinbase Premium Gap staying negative reflected weak US spot demand — again, an outcome. These indicators describe what was happening to participants at the retail level while the structural cause operated several layers above them in the global capital hierarchy.
The forward conditions are equally structural and equally precise. A new all-time high requires capital to flow back through the system — from central banks, through bonds, through equities, and finally to the terminal edge where Bitcoin waits. Two catalysts could accelerate that flow specifically: US midterm elections influencing fiscal expansion and rate expectations, and a potential Japan Bitcoin ETF that would open access to one of the largest pools of household savings in the world.
The past six months were not a verdict on Bitcoin. They were a consequence of where it sits in the financial system. The next major move will arrive when the system above it changes — not when the narrative does.
Bitcoin Reclaims $70K but Trend Structure Remains Unresolved
Bitcoin has pushed back above the $70,000 level after a sharp recovery from its February lows, but the broader structure remains technically fragile. The chart still reflects a clear downtrend sequence from late 2025, with price consistently trading below the 100-day (green) and 200-day (red) moving averages. Both remain downward sloping, indicating that the macro trend has not yet shifted despite the recent bounce.
The February capitulation event marked a local exhaustion point, with a spike in volume and a rapid wick below $60,000, followed by stabilization. Since then, the price has formed a range between roughly $62,000 and $72,000, with multiple failed attempts to sustain a breakout above resistance. The recent move above $70,000 is notable, but it has not yet been accompanied by a decisive expansion in volume or follow-through.
Short-term momentum has improved, as Bitcoin is now testing the 50-day moving average (blue), but this level has acted as dynamic resistance throughout the downtrend. A confirmed reclaim of this zone would be the first structural signal of strength. Until then, the current move appears corrective within a broader bearish framework, not a confirmed trend reversal.

A fake token sale that pulled in $100 million from unsuspecting investors. These are the kinds of cases the US Securities and Exchange Commission says it now wants to focus on — not the pile of enforcement actions it quietly admitted this week were a waste of time.
SEC Turns On Its Own Track Record
The SEC released its 2025 enforcement results on Tuesday, and buried inside was a striking admission: a large number of cases brought in prior years against crypto companies produced no real benefit for investors.
According to the agency, 95 enforcement actions and $2.3 billion in penalties tied to record-keeping violations since fiscal year 2022 &#8220;identified no direct investor harm.&#8221;
The SEC added that seven cases involving crypto firm registrations and six others centered on the legal definition of a dealer also fell into that category.
Those cases, the agency said, reflected a bias toward racking up numbers rather than protecting the people the commission exists to serve.
That self-criticism landed with force. It was a direct indictment of the approach taken under former SEC Chair Gary Gensler, who for years pursued what critics called regulation by enforcement — using legal action as a substitute for clear rules in the crypto space.
The agency itself used the phrase &#8220;unprecedented rush&#8221; to describe the push to file cases in the weeks before US President Donald Trump took office in January 2025.
Atkins Refocuses The Agency
Paul Atkins took over as SEC chair in April 2025 and moved quickly to change course. Officials said the commission has since redirected its attention toward fraud, market manipulation, and breaches of trust — the categories of misconduct that cause the clearest damage to ordinary investors.
Atkins said the old model prioritized &#8220;volume and record-setting penalties&#8221; over genuine protection.
Data shows the numbers back that up. Based on reports from consulting firm Cornerstone Research, SEC enforcement actions against public companies — including crypto firms — fell roughly 30% in fiscal 2025 compared to the year before.
Despite the pullback, the commission has not gone quiet. In May 2025, the SEC sued Unicoin and four of its executives, alleging the company raised $100 million by misleading investors about token rights and equity. Unicoin has disputed the agency&#8217;s version of events.

Expert Breaks Down Some Interesting Similarities</title><description><![CDATA[Ethereum’s current price structure is being compared to a phase that once played out in a major stock price, where years of sideways movement and repeated rejections eventually gave way to a powerful breakout above resistance. The comparison, shared by crypto analyst Crypto Tice on X, points out that what looks like long-term stagnation around $2,000 on Ethereum’s chart may be a setup that has appeared before in Netflix’s price history.
A Repeating Structure Inside A Range
Technical patterns have a way of resurfacing across different markets, which is why analysts often study past price behavior of one cryptocurrency to predict how another cryptocurrency could also play out in the future. In many cases, these comparisons stay within the crypto market itself or extend to traditional stores of value like precious metals, where similarities in cycles and investor behavior are easier to justify.
This analysis, however, takes a different approach by stepping outside those usual comparisons. It provides a comparison between Ethereum’s current price structure and the way Netflix, Inc. (NFLX) traded between 2003 and 2009.
The chart highlights a sequence of six distinct interactions with range boundaries in both assets. In Netflix’s case, the price spent years bouncing between support and resistance, forming a compressed structure with multiple failed breakout attempts. Each rejection added to the range but also built pressure over time.
Ethereum&#8217;s price action on a multi-year timeframe is showing a nearly identical formation. Since 2021, the Ethereum price has repeatedly pushed into resistance around $4,900, pulled back to support, and returned again for another attempt. 
The current price action, which is the sixth interaction, places Ethereum near the lower boundary of the range, which is just the same stage Netflix was before its eventual breakout.

Pressure Building. What Comes Next?
The structure outlined in the chart ultimately points to one outcome: a breakout rally. This is how Netflix broke out of the resistance trendline in 2009. The important thing for Ethereum now is reclaiming and holding above resistance above $4,900 with conviction. However, there are other intermediate price targets that Ethereum needs to break above before this move. These targets include $2,150, $2,350, $3,100, $3,900, and $4,600.
The analogy, however, is not without its critics. Some comments argue that comparing Ethereum to Netflix ignores the fundamental differences between the two. One comment, for instance, noted that Netflix’s consolidation took place during a period of steady business expansion, with clear growth in subscribers and revenue supporting its long-term trajectory.
Ethereum’s situation, on the other hand, is more layered and has a different economic regime. The rise of Layer 2 networks has moved activity away from the base layer, reducing fee generation at the protocol level. These factors, and many others, introduce unknowns that cannot be represented through chart structure.

Another Crypto-Mishap…But From Regulators
Strange things are happening in crypto today. Not only a top U.S. legacy outlet released a piece claiming to have uncovered Satoshi Nakamoto’s identity, but the SEC’s new Fiscal Year 2025 Enforcement Report contains an unusually blunt self‑critique: it admits prior leadership misallocated enforcement resources to chase media headlines and raw case counts instead of real investor protection.
Central to an effective enforcement program is determining which cases to bring and responsibly stewarding Commission resources. Regrettably, such resources have been misapplied in prior years to pursue media headlines and run up numbers, and in turn, led to misguided expectations on what constitutes effective enforcement.
According to the statement, since 2022 the Commission brought 95 “off‑channel communications” book‑and‑record cases with $2.3 billion in penalties, plus seven crypto registration and six “dealer definition” actions. The current Commission now says these showed “no direct investor harm”, produced “no investor benefit” and reflected a misinterpretation of federal securities law.
The Commission itself now characterizes these 95 book‑and‑record cases and 13 crypto matters as resource misallocation driven by a “bias for volume of cases brought versus matters of investor protection.”
The statement also notes that the SEC has dropped seven crypto-focused cases since February 2025, targeting Coinbase, Binance, Cumberland, Consensys Software, Payward (Kraken), Dragonchain, and Balina.
The Atkins Era: Crypto Enforcement 2.0
The SEC is publicly distancing itself from earlier, more expansive readings of securities law in crypto, implying that some marquee cases were built on legal glosses that will not be repeated and that may be harder to defend in court going forward. The recent interpretive release on crypto assets and the SEC‑CFTC alignment are part of the same course correction toward clearer categories of what is or isn’t a security, rather than treating tokens themselves as inherently embodying an investment contract.
SEC Chair Paul Atkins, who assumed the role in April 2025, has faulted his predecessors, claiming the agency did not keep pace with technological innovation. With Atkins, the SEC is recentering enforcement on classic fraud, market manipulation, and breaches of fiduciary duty. The FY 2025 results show 456 actions focused on misconduct that directly harms investors and market integrity
The Trump‑era shift has already seen crypto enforcement actions fall to their lowest level since 2017.
Market Implications
The SEC admission should reduce some litigation overhang and may encourage more projects to operate in the U.S., but fraud, market manipulation, and deceptive offerings remain squarely in the SEC’s crosshairs.
Enforcement reset could gradually improve risk sentiment around high‑quality assets and U.S. venues, though the unwinding of old cases and the new legal framework will likely produce periods of regulatory volatility and headline risk.
This represents a move from opaque, adversarial tactics toward clearer lines between commodities, tools, and true securities. Sophisticated traders should watch how quickly this policy shift flows into actual dismissals, settlements, and new listings.

The move came after days of rising tension and landed just hours after Trump had warned Tehran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz or face strikes on key infrastructure.
Trump’s Deadline Eases Pressure
Trump made the announcement in a Truth Social post on Tuesday. “I agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks,” he said.
Iran’s Supreme National Security Council then accepted the ceasefire, while stressing that the pause did not mean the war was over. Bitcoin jumped 2.55% in the hour after the news and reached $72,150 at the time of publication.
The rebound pushed Bitcoin above a level it had not seen since March 18. It also came after a rough stretch for the crypto market, where sentiment had weakened and traders had been bracing for more conflict. The last few sessions had been marked by caution rather than confidence.
That reaction fit a pattern seen before. When geopolitical stress climbs, risk assets often take a hit. When the pressure eases, money can move back just as fast. Bitcoin has been caught in that swing during past flare-ups, and this one was no different.

Fear Still Lingered In Crypto Trading
Even after the pop, the market picture was far from calm. Market observers pointed to the Crypto Fear &amp; Greed Index, which sat at an “Extreme Fear” reading of 11 on Tuesday. That suggested many traders were still wary despite the price bounce.
Trump had already added to the tension a day earlier, saying on Monday that “a whole civilization will die tonight” if the situation continued. By Tuesday, the tone had changed, but only for now. The ceasefire was tied to a short window, not a lasting settlement.
A Fast Move, But A Fragile One
The speed of Bitcoin’s rise showed how quickly traders were ready to buy when the threat of more fighting eased. The price crossed $72,000 for the first time in 20 days, but the backdrop was still unstable, with both sides signaling that the conflict was not fully resolved.
For now, the market is treating the pause as relief, not closure. Bitcoin’s jump was sharp, but it was built on a ceasefire that could still shift if talks break down or the fighting resumes.

The post pointed to a macro indicator designed to track the long-term structure of the market. Based on the latest reading of this model, the data suggests Bitcoin may be moving toward a zone where distribution risks may begin to increase, making the next phase of the cycle particularly important to monitor.
Bitcoin’s Macro Cycle Indicator Explains Where The Market Stands
In a recent X post, Wedson drew attention to the Accumulation Distribution Cycle Index (ADCI), a macro framework created by @arch_physicist and now used in research at Alphractal. The indicator was designed to analyze Bitcoin’s position within the broader structure described by the Wyckoff Method.
The ADCI organizes the market cycle into three distinct ranges, each representing a different stage of market behavior. When the index stays between 0 and 3, Bitcoin is typically in accumulation. These periods usually appear when sentiment is weak and participation is low, allowing larger investors to quietly absorb supply.
The 30 to 70 range signals a market that has already begun moving. In this zone, trends start to develop and expand. The direction of the index during this phase can reveal whether momentum is strengthening or beginning to deteriorate.
When the index moves between 70 and 100, the risk of distribution increases. This phase historically appears when market optimism grows, and demand expands, creating conditions where larger holders can begin offloading supply.
The chart shared alongside the post illustrates this pattern across multiple Bitcoin cycles. Previous peaks in the indicator appear near major price highs, while deep drops in the index tend to align with long accumulation periods that later preceded large price expansions.
What Investors Should Watch As Bitcoin Approaches This Phase
Wedson noted that distribution in the current cycle may not appear the same way it did in earlier markets. In the past, Bitcoin cycles often ended with a sharp blow-off top followed by a rapid correction.
However, as the market matures, distribution may occur more gradually. Instead of a sudden spike and collapse, the market could move sideways for extended periods while repeated rallies begin losing strength.
This type of structure allows stronger holders to slowly release supply while public demand remains active. Because of this, the key signal to watch is not just price spikes but signs of repeated exhaustion, slowing momentum, and prolonged sideways movement.
This is why macro indicators like the ADCI are being emphasized. By focusing on structural positioning rather than short-term price action, the model aims to identify whether Bitcoin is being accumulated or distributed before the shift becomes obvious to the wider market. If the index continues rising toward its upper range while price action begins showing exhaustion, it could indicate the market is entering the distribution phase of the cycle.

New Investigation Points At The Real Identity Of Satoshi Nakamoto</title><description><![CDATA[A New York Times journalist just released a long-form investigation claiming that, after a year of intensive research, he finally uncovered the real identity of the creator of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto.
A NYT Journalist Claims To Have Unmasked Bitcoin’s Creator
A reporter trying to unmask Satoshi Nakamoto (and claiming success) is hardly news. Across 15 years of hunting, there have been countless of theories and tons of serious journalists assuring they had finally pinned down the real name of the creator of Bitcoin. However, this is the first time a top U.S. legacy outlet has directly named a Satoshi Nakamoto candidate: Adam Back, 55‑year‑old British cryptographer, Blockstream CEO, Hashcash creator, former Cypherpunk. The piece was written by John Carreyrou, an investigative reporter for the NYT who has won two Pulitzer Prizes.
This is also not the first time Back’s name is brought on as a Satoshi contendat. Back himself has denied this theory repeatedly, following years of YouTube sleuths, HBO docs and research reports circling his name. Carreyrou, however, found his denials so unconvincing that he used them as fuel to continue investigating on the connection.
The idea that Back is Satoshi came to Carreyrou after watching the 2024 HBO documentary “Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery”, that pointed at Hard Fork, a Canadian software developer. The journalist found the way Back tensed up in the documentary at the mention of his name amongst the Satoshi more convincing than the doc’s conclusion.
The E-Mail Lead
The other big idea Carreyrou had was to use the Satoshi Nakamoto e-mails that surfaced in the context of the UK COPA v. Craig Wright trial, where Wright tried to prove in court that he was Satoshi to assert copyright over the Bitcoin whitepaper –which clearly signaled that he wasn’t the creator of Bitcoin, as Satoshi Nakamoto disliked the idea of copyright and patents, and was a fierce advocate of open-source and public domains.
Emails Satoshi sent to other early Bitcoin adopters had surfaced before, but none came close in volume to the Malmi dump. If Satoshi was ever going to be found, I was convinced the key lay somewhere in these texts.
Amongst the submitted e-mails was correspondence shared between Back and Satoshi during 2008-2009, independently discussing Bitcoin’s design with Back, citing Hashcash and only learning about Wei Dai’s b‑money through Back’s recommendation —an incongruence Back himself has acknowledged, as Dai’s b-mobey was cited in the Hashcash whitepaper.
The Cypherpunk And Technological Leads
According to Carreyrou’s investigation, both Back and Satoshi sat in the same Cypherpunk lists in the 1990s, including the more obscure Cryptography list, trading emails about anonymized communication, digital cash and crypto‑anarchist ideals. The journalist provided evidence showing that Back sketched almost every core Bitcoin ingredient in the Cypherpunk list a decade before launch: decentralized e‑cash, independent nodes, resistance to government/censorship, and proof‑of‑work style spam prevention.
Back proposed combining his own Hashcash with Wei Dai’s b‑money idea, essentially the same recipe Satoshi later used for Bitcoin’s architecture. Hashcash itself is the direct conceptual ancestor of Bitcoin’s proof‑of‑work, and Satoshi explicitly cited Back’s paper in the 2008 whitepaper.
When Satoshi Nakamoto floated Bitcoin for the first time in Halloween 2008, Back disappeared from the conversations. However, Back got fully involved again after an Argentinian cryptographer made Satoshi’s fortune public on April 17, 2013.
For more than a decade, whenever electronic money was discussed on the Cypherpunks or the Cryptography list, Mr. Back had almost always chimed in, often with long, detailed posts. But when Bitcoin, the closest manifestation of the vision he had laid out, arrived, Mr. Back was nowhere to be found.
Back also holds a doctorate in distributed computer systems, matching the specialized skill set needed to design Bitcoin’s peer‑to‑peer network, incentive design and security model. He used the same programming language Satoshi used (C++) and worked professionally on securing computer networks and public‑key cryptography, which mirrors Satoshi’s toolkit.
The Linguistics Lead
Despite traditional stylometry not working, NYT’s Dylan Freedman used AI-based computational text analysis to filter thousands of old cypherpunk posts for British spelling, specific grammar tic patterns (like “also” at sentence ends, certain hyphenation mistakes and “its/it’s” slips). Back’s writing survived every filter, landing him in a tiny pool of eight final suspects.
Summing up, the investigation argues that the overlap of ideology, technical design, code skills, network position and language quirks is so tight that to call it “coincidence” stretches plausibility.
Back continued to deny being Satoshi when Carreyrou confronted him with this evidence during a Bitcoin conference held in El Salvador. Carreyrou, however, argues that Back’s way of denying it strengthened his suspicions once again.
Market Implications
Every serious “Satoshi theory” so far has eventually run into the same wall: nobody has produced cryptographic proof. Hal Finney and Nick Szabo had the right ideas at the right time, from reusable proof‑of‑work to “bit gold,” but both denied being Satoshi and never signed a message with early keys. Newsweek’s Dorian Nakamoto scoop, the Len Sassaman hypothesis and Craig Wright’s courtroom implosion all showed how fragile narrative‑driven cases are once they meet hard evidence. Even newer theories that cast Jack Dorsey or a shadowy “2010 megawhale” as the mastermind rely on stylistic forensics and on‑chain heuristics, not on movement of Satoshi‑era coins or a verifiable signature.
Many Bitcoin builders argue that not knowing Satoshi is a feature: it strengthens the “no founder, no CEO” commodity narrative. A persuasive mainstream story that “Bitcoin has a de facto founder” could embolden regulators and litigants to re‑open questions about control, intent and even securities‑style arguments, even if the crypto community rejects the premise.
Unless the NYT story is followed by an on‑chain move from Satoshi‑linked wallets or hard evidence, the market is likely to fade the headline and revert to watching funding, options skews and ETF flows. A genuine proof‑of‑identity event, however, would be a volatility shock with unknown tail risks.

Here Are The Numbers</title><description><![CDATA[The conversation around crypto and Real-World Assets (RWA) have often centered Ripple and XRP in recent times. This comes as no surprise, as the crypto firm has made major strides in moving into this potential trillion-dollar market over the last few years, making them one of the most recognizable names in the space. However, when looking at the space as a whole and going through the numbers, it shows that despite Ripple’s efforts, the blockchain is not the leader.
Ripple Falls Behind Others For RWA Value
Data from the RWA.xyz website, which is a website that tracks the RWA market and the performance of blockchains in the space, shows who the RWA leaders are by numbers, and Ripple unfortunately falls behind. While the XRP Ledger is doing decent numbers, other blockchains continue to lead in this regard.
One example of this is that when it comes to the total distributed RWA value, Ethereum is the leading blockchain and not the XRP Ledger. In fact, using this metric, Ripple’s XRP Ledger does not even fall in the top 5 by volume, with competitors taking charge in this regard.
The top 5 RWA chains by distributed value are Ethereum, BNB Chain, Solana, Stellar, and Liquid Network. Their values come out to $15.54 billion, $3.5 billion, $1.949 billion, $1.41 billion, and $1.32 billion, respectively. The XRP Ledger comes in 8th place with $458.46 million, putting it behind the likes of Arbitrum and Avalanche.
XRP Ledger Ranks Low For RWA Users
The distributed value is not the only metric where the XRP Ledger falls behind competitors. Another metric is the user count, where the XRP Ledger is struggling even worse. In this case, the network ranks 10th place with fewer than 5,000 users. This is a stark contrast to Plume’s 259,000 users, Solana’s 184,000, and Ethereum’s 164,000, making them the top 3 chains by user base.
However, one metric where the XRP Ledger seems to shine when it comes to RWA is the represented value on the blockchain. While it is still not in first place, it ranks behind ZKsync Era with $2.2 billion for ZKsync Era and $1.5 billion for XRP Ledger. This puts it ahead of the likes of Ethereum, Solana, and Plume in this metric, showing there is still active participation on the blockchain.
Nevertheless, the RWA space looks to be rising rapidly as the website shows that the total Distributed Asset Value across blockchains has crossed into $27.68 billion. Meanwhile, there are over 710,000 holders, and $441.38 billion in Represented Asset Value.

Rising Fraud Concern
The FBI said US victims lost $11.4 billion to cryptocurrency fraud in 2025, a 22% increase from the prior year. That figure is based on 181,565 complaints involving crypto assets, itself up 21% year‑over‑year. 
The Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) logged 1,008,597 complaints in 2025, an increase from 859,532 in 2024. Phishing and spoofing, extortion, and investment schemes remained the complaint categories reported most often.
Older Americans suffered disproportionately large losses. Complainants aged 60 and older reported roughly $7.7 billion in losses — a 37% rise over 2024 — reflecting persistent targeting of retirees and other seniors. 
Another growing menace is the use of artificial intelligence (AI): for the first time, the report includes an AI section. The IC3 received 22,364 complaints tied to AI‑enabled scams in 2025, with reported losses approaching $893 million. 
Those schemes often deploy high‑pressure tactics while leveraging fabricated social profiles, voice cloning, counterfeit identity documents, and deceptively realistic videos of public figures or victims’ relatives to persuade targets to hand over funds.
California, Texas, Florida Lead In Crypto Complaints
The report also calls out fraud centered on cryptocurrency ATMs and kiosks. In 2025, there were 13,460 complaints linked to crypto ATM use, resulting in $389 million in losses — a 23% climb in complaints and a 58% jump in dollar losses compared with 2024. 
By crime type, investment schemes were the most common complaint category, with 61,559 filings. Extortion and phishing/spoofing were also prominent, with 23,797 and 7,164 complaints, respectively. 
The IC3 detailed a long list of other fraud types reported in 2025, including tech/customer support fraud, personal data breaches, employment scams, and business email compromise, among others.
Geographically, complaints were concentrated in populous states. California led the nation with 20,878 crypto‑related complaints, followed by Texas (13,965), Florida (13,381), New York (8,088), and Pennsylvania (5,118). 
The FBI also outlined its enforcement and prevention efforts. Operation Level Up, launched in 2024, has been a proactive outreach initiative to identify and notify people in the process of falling victim to cryptocurrency investment fraud. 
Since the program began, more than 8,000 potential victims have been alerted, and the operation has helped curtail losses by over $500 million. Building on that approach, the FBI launched Operation Winter SHIELD in 2026 to emphasize actionable steps organizations can take to strengthen their cybersecurity posture.

DOJ Says Tornado Cash Founder’s Defense Is ‘Not Applicable’
On Tuesday, US Attorney for the Southern District of New York Jay Clayton sent a letter to Judge Katherine Failla rejecting Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm’s recent letter in support of his motion for a judgment of acquittal.
Clayton’s response addressed an April 2 motion filed by Storm’s defense, which claimed that a 2026 Supreme Court case, Cox Communications, Inc. v. Sony Music Entertainment, supported his pending Rule 29 motion.
The Cox case involved a civil liability of an internet service provider for its subscribers engaging in copyright infringement. The Supreme Court found that Cox was not contributorily liable for copyright infringement on its users’ accounts, as it did not induce its users&#8217; infringement nor provide a service tailored to infringement.
In the Tuesday filing, the US attorney argued that “The defendant and the Tornado Cash service are a far cry from Cox,” affirming that “Even if Cox had some applicability here, its reasoning offers no help to the defendant given the strikingly different facts at issue.”
“As set forth in detail in the Government’s response to the defendant’s Rule 29 motion— and in contrast to Cox’s robust system for responding to infringement—the defendant intentionally implemented mere half-measures that he said were ‘easy to bypass’ to counter criminal use of the Tornado Cash service, and his purpose in doing so was to distract law enforcement,” the document read.
Clayton added that Storm’s use of the crypto mixer “was window dressing at best and outright misdirection at worst,” as there was no evidence that the Tornado Cash founders put in place effective anti-money-laundering (AML) measures.
It’s worth noting that the US Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctioned Tornado Cash in August 2022 for failing to impose effective controls to prevent malicious actors from laundering funds through the protocol, including $455 million by the North Korea-linked hacking group, Lazarus Group.
However, the sanctions were overturned in March 2025 after the Court of Appeals ruled in November 2024 that OFAC had overstepped its authority by sanctioning immutable, decentralized smart contracts rather than a legal entity.
US Prosecutors Seek Roman Storm Retrial
The prosecutors’ latest move follows his March letter seeking a retrial of the Tornado Cash co-founder on the two counts where jurors were deadlocked last August. In the letter, Clayton asked Judge Failla to schedule a retrial for Roman Storm, pushing for trial dates between October 5 and 12, 2026.
For context, Storm was detained and indicted following the Tornado Cash sanctions and charged with conspiracy to commit money laundering, conspiracy to commit sanctions violations, and conspiracy to operate an unlicensed money-transmitting business.
The jury found Storm guilty of one count of conspiracy to operate an unlicensed money transmitting business, but was unable to come to a unanimous decision regarding the two other charges. Nonetheless, a hung jury does not constitute an acquittal, which opened the door to a potential retrial on those charges.
In September, Storm filed a motion for acquittal, which asks the trial judge to throw out charges or a verdict because the prosecution’s evidence is legally insufficient. The Tornado Cash founder’s lawyers argued that the government never proved he meant to help bad actors launder money through the platform, which would invalidate the grounds for his conviction based on negligent inaction.
Now, prosecutors and Storm’s defense attorneys are scheduled to meet on April 9 for an oral argument on the pending Rule 29 motion, which could shape the course of this key legal battle.

US Continues Leading In Bitcoin Hashrate With 37.4% Share
In a new report, Hashrate Index has talked about how the global geographical heatmap of the Bitcoin Hashrate has changed compared to the last quarter. The &#8220;Hashrate&#8221; here refers to an indicator that measures the total amount of computing power that miners have attached to the BTC network. It&#8217;s measured in terms of hashes per second (H/s) or more practically, in exahashes per second (EH/s).
As the 7-day average chart for the indicator from Blockchain.com shows, the global Bitcoin Hashrate has declined this year.
Generally, there can be a few factors in play whenever the Hashrate declines, but a leading one tends to be the BTC price action. Miner rewards are denoted in BTC, so these validators depend on the cryptocurrency&#8217;s USD spot value for their revenue. When the asset declines, miners with less efficient machines can drop into loss and be forced to disconnect their rigs from the network.
Bitcoin has witnessed a significant drawdown since Q4 2025, so it&#8217;s not surprising to see that the 7-day average network Hashrate has decreased from 1,083 EH/s in October to 953 EH/s today.
Another factor that has probably been behind the Hashrate contraction is a pivot from major mining companies toward the AI datacenter business. Firms are deeming the industry to be more profitable than BTC mining, so some are even outright transitioning from Bitcoin to put their focus on it.
While the global Hashrate has declined, the trend in the computing power of individual nations has differed. For example, the United States lost Hashrate dominance of 0.13% since the start of 2026, but Kyrgyzstan and Paraguay gained shares of 0.4% and 0.3%, respectively.
Below is a table shared by the Hashrate Index report that breaks down the current mining market share of the top 10 countries.
As is visible, the US, Russia, and China are the three most dominant nations in Hashrate today with shares of 37.4%, 16.9%, and 12%, respectively. Together, the countries make up for 65% of the global Hashrate. Generally, mining power centralization doesn&#8217;t tend to be a positive for the sector, as it means local policy changes or disruptions can shake the blockchain as a whole.
Before mid-2021, China was the most dominant player in the space, but following the mining ban, miners fled the country, causing a plunge in the total network Hashrate. This year, a snow storm in the US caused miners to turn off their machines, which once again showed up as a significant reduction in the global metric.
BTC Price
Bitcoin has retraced its recovery during the past day as its price has dropped to the $67,900 mark.

The upgrade, known as ML-DSA, replaces older cryptographic systems and produces signatures about 2,420 bytes in size. It supports quantum-resistant transactions, accounts, and consensus on the network.
Still In Testing, Not Yet Live
The changes are running on AlphaNet, XRPL&#8217;s developer network, and have not been pushed to the main network. Along with the new signature standard, the ledger supports built-in key rotation — a system that lets the network upgrade its cryptographic tools through validator agreement, without shutting down or touching user accounts.
Both features are part of a broader push by XRPL developers to get ahead of a threat that most of the crypto industry has not yet fully addressed.
Grayscale Research&#8217;s analysis of the @Google Quantum AI paper suggests breakthroughs may come in sudden leaps, not gradual steps. That means preparation can’t be delayed.
The good news:
• Post-quantum cryptography already exists
• Some chains like $SOL and $XRP Ledger are… pic.twitter.com/r5vtnnWCJj
— Grayscale (@Grayscale) April 6, 2026
That threat comes from quantum computing. Based on reports from Grayscale, a digital asset manager, the concern dates back to a mathematical breakthrough made by MIT&#8217;s Peter Shor in the mid-1990s.
Shor developed an algorithm that, if run on a powerful enough quantum machine, could crack the encryption protecting most blockchain networks today. No computer has been able to run it at the scale needed — but that window may be closing.
Google Research Points To Sudden Leaps, Not Gradual Progress
Grayscale&#8217;s report, authored by the firm&#8217;s head of research, Zach Pandl, referenced recent work from Google Quantum AI warning that progress in this area may not come in slow, predictable steps. It could arrive in sudden bursts.
According to Pandl&#8217;s report, reaching the level of computing power needed to break current encryption may require between 1,200 and 1,450 logical qubits. That threshold has not been crossed, but researchers say waiting until it is may leave networks with too little time to respond.
Grayscale pointed to XRPL and Solana as networks already running tests on post-quantum cryptographic tools. These are methods that have been reviewed, tested, and deployed in other real-world systems, including those protecting parts of today&#8217;s internet traffic. Their use in blockchain is still early, but the work is underway.
Not All Blockchains Face The Same Level Of Exposure
Risk levels vary depending on how a network is built. Reports indicate that Bitcoin may carry less technical exposure than other chains because of its design — it uses a transaction model that limits address reuse, relies on proof-of-work, and has no built-in smart contracts. Some Bitcoin address types are safer than others, as long as they are not reused.

The study finds that roughly eight African nations have already adopted crypto-specific rules, with several more moving toward formal frameworks. 
South Africa&#8217;s Policy Advances
Ripple highlights a nascent regional coordination: clearer regimes in major markets are beginning to serve as templates for neighboring countries, and cross-border fintech initiatives are fostering “a more harmonized ecosystem.” 
That regulatory momentum, the report argues, is underpinning concrete growth in on-chain activity and practical uses for digital assets across the continent.
The company reviews several national developments in detail. South Africa, Ripple notes, adopted a comprehensive framework in June 2023 that treats certain crypto assets as financial products. 
Under the new rules, Crypto Asset Service Providers (CASPs) in the country must be licensed and answer to both the Financial Sector Conduct Authority and the Financial Intelligence Centre. 
Johannesburg has also implemented the Financial Action Task Force’s Travel Rule and is continuing to explore policy for stablecoins and tokenization through its Intergovernmental Fintech Working Group.
Clearer Crypto Oversight
Kenya, the report says, has moved rapidly from proposals to law. A draft Virtual Asset Service Providers Bill introduced by the National Treasury in March 2025 became law in October 2025, transferring supervisory responsibility to the Central Bank of Kenya and the Capital Markets Authority. 
The country is conducting nationwide consultations on implementing regulations, and Ripple expects Kenya’s framework to be influential for the region in 2026 as it builds out its digital asset infrastructure.
Mauritius is presented as an early adopter. Its VAITOS Act of 2021 set one of Africa’s first comprehensive regimes, with rigorous anti-money laundering (AML) and counter‑terror financing rules. Ripple notes that Mauritius issued additional guidance on stablecoins in the past year and is exploring a fuller regulatory regime for them.
Nigeria, long one of Africa’s largest crypto markets, also appears to be formalizing its approach. The Investments and Securities Act 2025 recognizes digital assets as securities under the oversight of the Nigerian Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). 
The Central Bank of Nigeria has also eased earlier restrictions on banks working with licensed digital‑asset providers and launched a supervision pilot for several virtual asset service providers (VASPs). Ripple frames these moves as a substantial policy shift aimed at supporting innovation while protecting consumers.
Ripple Details Regional Regulation Progress
Beyond these examples, Ripple documents a wider movement. Ghana’s central bank has begun registering virtual asset service providers as an initial step, and countries including Botswana, Namibia, and Seychelles have taken steps toward crypto-specific policy. 
Other jurisdictions — Ethiopia, Morocco, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Uganda, among them — are actively assessing regulatory options. The report stresses that this patchwork of reforms is converging toward greater clarity and interoperability across borders.
The report further highlights striking on-chain growth: Sub‑Saharan Africa recorded more than $205 billion in on-chain value between July 2024 and June 2025, a 52% year‑over‑year increase that ranked the region among the fastest‑growing crypto markets worldwide. 
Nigeria and Ethiopia, Ripple points out, ranked in the Top 15 of the 2025 Global Crypto Adoption Index, underscoring strong grassroots demand for digital assets.

Tehran Pushes Back On Trump&#8217;s Ultimatum
Iran&#8217;s deputy minister of youth and sports, Alireza Rahimi, posted a public call on X urging athletes, artists, and young citizens to stand beside power stations across the country at 2 p.m. local time.
&#8220;Attacking public infrastructure is a war crime,&#8221; he wrote. The appeal came hours after Trump told reporters Monday that the US holds a plan to wipe out every Iranian bridge and power plant by midnight Tuesday — a deadline he tied to Iran&#8217;s refusal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow waterway through which a significant share of the world&#8217;s oil passes.
#BREAKING: Alireza Rahimi, Iran’s deputy minister of youth and sports, has called on Iranians to form human chains at power plants across the country to denounce the USA bombing threats against the facilities hours before Trump’s deadline for Iran ends.
— Aditya Raj Kaul (@AdityaRajKaul) April 7, 2026
Trump would not say whether the war was winding down or intensifying. He called it a &#8220;critical period&#8221; that depended entirely on what Iran chose to do next. But he left little doubt about the consequences if Tehran held firm. Iran, he said, could be &#8220;taken out in one night&#8221; — and that night might be Tuesday.
Iran&#8217;s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps fired back, calling Trump&#8217;s statements the &#8220;baseless&#8221; ramblings of a &#8220;delusional&#8221; president facing military setbacks. IRGC spokesman Ebrahim Zolfaqari warned that any repeated strikes on non-civilian sites would trigger a far larger retaliatory response. Iran&#8217;s foreign ministry separately urged Americans to hold their own government accountable for what it described as an unjust and aggressive war.
TRUMP’S DEADLINE: STRIKE, DEAL OR BLUFF
Donald Trump has set an 8 p.m. deadline, warning he will bomb major Iranian infrastructure if Tehran doesn’t reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
Based on past behavior, three outcomes are possible: Back down (unlikely): Trump could avoid…
— *Walter Bloomberg (@DeItaone) April 7, 2026
A ceasefire proposal drafted by mediating countries — calling for a 45-day pause and the reopening of the strait — went nowhere fast. Trump dismissed it Monday as a significant step but said it fell short. Iran rejected it outright, demanding a permanent end to the fighting rather than a temporary truce.
Commanders Killed, Nuclear Site Hit
The battlefield picture grew darker by the hour. Israel confirmed it killed Majid Khademi, the head of the IRGC&#8217;s intelligence organization, early Monday. Israel&#8217;s defense minister said Khademi bore direct responsibility for Israeli civilian deaths and was among the three most senior figures in the revolutionary guards.
Iran&#8217;s supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei — who has not appeared in public since taking over following the assassination of his father at the start of the war — issued a written statement vowing that the killings would not break his forces.
Bitcoin Slides As Ceasefire Hopes Collapse
Markets are feeling the tension. Bitcoin was trading around $68,210 on Tuesday, down roughly 2.50% as Trump&#8217;s deadline drew closer and ceasefire hopes faded. The cryptocurrency had briefly climbed to nearly $69,700 on Monday after news broke of the 45-day truce proposal, with trading volume spiking above $29 billion during a 3%-plus surge.
Reports indicate Bitcoin has been swinging between $66,000 and $71,000 since the conflict began in late February, mirroring how it behaved during earlier geopolitical shocks — dropping sharply on escalation, recovering when talks flicker.

Price has moved strongly at different points, and sentiment has flipped back and forth, but one important macro signal does not line up with the idea of a completed top.
This indicator is the Bitcoin PMI, which is still sitting below where every true previous cycle peak has formed.
PMI Below 50 Has Never Marked A Bitcoin Peak
The PMI is a monthly economic indicator that measures the level of activity across both the manufacturing and services sectors. The PMI may seem disconnected from the Bitcoin price, but the foundation of this analysis comes down to a simple historical pattern with the two metrics. BTC has never printed a true all-time high at any point when the PMI was below 50, and that has held consistently across every past cycle. 
As shown in the chart below, each red-shaded zone represents extended periods where PMI was under the 50 threshold. These zones have consistently coincided with phases of consolidation and early trend development in the BTC price. On the other hand, major Bitcoin price tops have always formed after PMI breaks above 50 and enters expansion territory.
What makes the current cycle stand out is how long Bitcoin has been trading with the PMI indicator below 50. Even during the July to October 2025 period, when the Bitcoin price climbed to new highs and printed strong rallies, the PMI stayed below 50. This creates a disconnect between the current price action and a long-standing signal.
Calling The Top Now Could Be Premature
At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $69,043, which places it about 45% below its all-time high of $126,080 on October 6, 2025. There have been various reasons to believe that the Bitcoin price has already reached a peak for this cycle. 
These theories rely heavily on price-based signals and changes in sentiment, but the PMI model introduces a much larger context based on the activity in the manufacturing and services sectors.
According to a crypto analyst with the pseudonym Crypto Tice on the social media platform X, the people calling this the top are making the same mistake they made in 2019 and 2020. 
In that sense, what many are calling a top may instead be a lengthy accumulation period. If historical trends continue, the real cycle peak would only come once PMI moves above 50.
The Bitcoin-PMI chart above also shows how previous sub-50 periods ended. Each time, Bitcoin transitioned from these zones into stronger bullish phases once liquidity conditions improved. Those who interpreted the consolidation as a top ended up missing the best part of the rallies.

Currently, the ETH network is the settlement layer for many stablecoins and real-world applications in the crypto space.
Euro Stablecoin Plans Eye Ethereum
A new chapter in blockchain adoption may be unfolding, and the Ethereum network is at the center of this transition as countries across the globe adopt the blockchain. Amid the shift, Ethereum is increasingly being considered as the settlement layer for a potential euro-denominated stablecoin.
Crypto Tice, a market expert and investor, took to the social media platform X to share the development, which has triggered a frenzy in the ETH community. The action demonstrates the increasing interest of politicians and financial institutions in utilizing Ethereum&#8217;s well-established infrastructure for practical financial applications. 
According to the expert, this move is not a pilot or a sandbox test, as blockchain solutions are being incorporated into Europe&#8217;s changing digital banking environment. Rather, it is Europe evaluating real infrastructure in the financial sector. By acting as the foundation for such a project, the network could be crucial in integrating traditional finance with decentralized technology.
Furthermore, the expert has offered insights into why this move matters for the network and the blockchain sector. The first reason is that public blockchains are being increasingly assessed for sovereign-grade settlement infrastructure.
Based on the risks associated with finance, this move would offer transparency, uptime, and security, which are now policy considerations. ETH being considered as a settlement layer for a Euro stablecoin implies that crypt rails are moving from markets, especially from the institutional level, to the governmental stage. 
Crypto Tice has debunked every speculation of hype around the move, claiming that this is about who settles money in the future. “Public blockchains just entered the sovereign conversation,” the expert added.
Stablecoin Market To Get A Boost?
In the meantime, the stablecoin market has slowed down. CW, a crypto investor and data analyst at CryptoQuant, highlighted that the stablecoin market cap has recently stalled at a certain level since October last year. Once this move is confirmed, the news is likely to bolster interest and demand for stablecoins, causing a wave of fresh capital into the market.
However, the growth of the stablecoin market cap is largely linked to the impending CLARITY Act, as the bill will trigger an explosive inflow of funds. In that scenario, the increase in the market cap will lead to a rally in the broader cryptocurrency market.
On crypto exchanges, stablecoin reserves are growing, with Binance experiencing a jump from $45.5 billion following a $2.5 billion March inflow. This jump comes after 3 months of persistent outflows. Darkfost stated that this turnaround is somewhat surprising considering the macroeconomic context. 
Despite the escalating geopolitical tensions and unfavorable conditions in March, liquidity flows have started to return to the crypto market. April is already moving in alignment with the pattern, recording more than $1 billion in net stablecoin inflows since the month began.

A report from analyst Maartunn has identified a transaction spike that stands out precisely because of where it did not appear. On April 2nd, altcoin inflow transactions to Binance jumped to approximately 34,000, the highest reading in two and a half to three months.
In isolation, a spike of that magnitude would suggest a broad return of altcoin activity across the derivatives and spot landscape. It would show up on Bybit. On Coinbase. On OKX. When traders return to altcoins at scale, the signal appears across venues simultaneously.
It did not. The spike was almost entirely contained within Binance. The other major exchanges registered no comparable activity on the same day. That isolation is not a data artifact — it is a signal. Something specific pulled traders to Binance on April 2nd, and it was not a generalized return of altcoin demand.
What changed on Binance the day before that spike is the question the data is already answering — and the answer is not what most altcoin watchers would expect.
The Answer Was Launched the Day Before the Spike
Maartunn&#8217;s explanation for the isolated Binance concentration is precise and structurally significant. The day before the April 2nd inflow spike, Binance rolled out new futures contracts tied to commodities — natural gas and WTI crude oil joining an instrument suite that already includes gold, silver, and multiple other traditional finance tickers. Those TradFi pairs are not peripheral additions. They are already appearing in Binance&#8217;s top volume pairs, sitting alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum in the platform&#8217;s most actively traded instruments.
The implication Maartunn draws from that sequence is the one that altcoin participants should sit with. The traders who arrived at Binance on April 2nd were not necessarily arriving for altcoins. They were arriving for oil. For gold. For the commodity futures that Binance had just made accessible on a platform, they already knew how to use. The altcoin inflow spike was not a signal of renewed altcoin demand — it was the footprint of a different migration entirely.
That migration has a name: the same pool of speculative capital that once rotated through altcoins is now finding new instruments to trade on the same venue. The liquidity did not leave crypto. It shifted within it — away from altcoins and toward assets that respond to the geopolitical and macroeconomic forces currently dominating global markets.
For altcoins, that shift is not neutral. Every trader who moves from an altcoin pair to a commodity futures contract is a trader who is no longer providing the bid-side liquidity that prices depend on. The migration may be gradual. The direction is clear.
Altcoin Market Cap Weakens as Lower High Structure Persists
The total crypto market cap excluding the top 10 is currently holding near $172 billion, but the broader structure reflects a weakening trend. On the weekly chart, price has formed a clear lower high after failing to sustain momentum above the $300 billion region, marking a shift from expansion to distribution.
The rejection from mid-2025 highs triggered a sustained decline, with the altcoin market cap breaking below the 50-week moving average and briefly testing the 200-week average. While the recent bounce from the $150 billion zone suggests some demand at lower levels, it has not been strong enough to reclaim the 100-week moving average with conviction.
All three key moving averages are now flattening or trending downward, with price trading beneath or around them. This alignment indicates a loss of trend strength and a transition into a range-bound or corrective phase rather than a renewed bullish cycle.
Volume patterns reinforce this view. Selling pressure has been more aggressive during downturns, while recovery attempts show weaker participation. That asymmetry suggests capital rotation away from smaller assets rather than broad-based accumulation.
If the $160–$170 billion range fails, downside toward $130 billion becomes likely. A sustained reclaim above $200 billion would be required to signal that altcoins are regaining structural strength.

He argued that BTC has now achieved global acceptance, and this transition marks a more mature phase that could support stronger, more consistent price appreciation for the flagship cryptocurrency. 
Why Bitcoin’s 4-Year Cycle Close Could Boost Price
In an X post dated April 4, Saylor announced that “Bitcoin has won,” suggesting that the cryptocurrency has officially secured its dominant position in the global financial system. He explained that the world now widely accepts BTC as a form of digital capital, reflecting the cryptocurrency’s deep integration as a means of payment and investment for everyday users. 
The Strategy founder further argued that Bitcoin’s four-year market cycle has ended, and that price movements are now guided by the inflows and outflows of capital from institutions and investors. This shift seems to be gradually moving BTC away from the sharp bull-and-bear market patterns tied to past halving cycles. 
Saylor also added that Bitcoin’s growth in the coming years will largely depend on traditional bank credit and emerging digital lending channels. These funding sources are expected to play a bigger role in shaping how quickly and how far Bitcoin’s value could expand in the future. Moreover, the adoption of established financial instruments could help stabilize BTC’s price trajectory, which is often influenced by speculation and volatility. 
Concluding his post, Saylor warned that the greatest risks come from having poor ideas that lead to unnecessary or damaging changes to the Bitcoin protocol. He cautioned that such misguided updates could harm the network if allowed to take root. Essentially, the Strategy founder is urging developers and users to protect the protocol from ill-advised alterations to preserve continued growth and success.  
BTC Critic Fires Back At Saylor’s Remarks
Responding directly to Saylor&#8217;s post, global economist and Bitcoin critic Peter Schiff pushed back against the remarks. He argued that any claimed consensus about BTC’s status as digital capital exists only in Saylor’s mind. However, Schiff did agree that capital flows will ultimately determine Bitcoin’s price direction. 
The critic warned that when capital eventually flows out of BTC, the price will be driven significantly lower. His comments reflect a prolonged skepticism over Bitcoin’s long-term outlook and its status as “digital gold” or a store of value. 
While Saylor remains a strong advocate for BTC, consistently accumulating the cryptocurrency through Strategy, Schiff continues to criticize the asset, often comparing it to gold. In one of his latest posts, the economist noted that Bitcoin recently climbed above $70,000 but was immediately hit with a wave of selling pressure, leading to a major pullback. He emphasized that, at present, BTC’s upside potential appears limited while its downside risk remains significant—an outlook he believes is the direct opposite of gold.

With the persistent downside price performance, the percentage of supply in loss has risen sharply, demonstrating the impact of the bearish action on the market.
More XRP Holders Fall Into Loss Territory
After a sharp decline in its price, the market dynamics of XRP are starting to experience a critical change as investors’ pain steadily increases. This trend is being reflected in the amount of XRP at a loss in the market. BankXRP, a researcher and investor, has reported that a growing portion of the leading altcoin is slipping into the loss zone as price momentum continues to fade. This development indicates that many holders are now underwater, which points to mounting pressure across the market.
In the post shared on X, the expert highlighted that over 60% of the entire supply, which represents about 36.8 billion XRP, is now in loss territory. The figure is valued at more than $50 billion in unrealized losses.
When a massive portion of supply is sitting in losses, this shift often suggests that confidence is fading. This is because a persistent period of stagnation or decline reduces profitability for recent buyers. This development is likely to play a key role in shaping the next direction of the price in the short term.
For those who bought the altcoin at a price higher than its current value of $1.35, their breakeven point is positioned at the $1.44 level. Whether the price drops below the current price or pushes beyond the breakeven point is up to this trend. 
Addressing potential future outcomes, the expert stated that selling pressure could emerge close to the $1.44 level as holders exit at the breakeven point in the near term. Meanwhile, for the long term, XRP might clear the bull run, resulting in less resistance and a classic cycle.
A Fading Liquidity On Crypto Exchanges
During the weakening price momentum, XRP liquidity on cryptocurrency exchanges is starting to flip negative, marked by thinning order books. As shared by Arthur, the CIO of Royal Peak Cap, the declining liquidity is particularly evident on Binance, the world’s largest trading platform, which has completely collapsed. 
On the 30-day liquidity index, there has been a drop to historically low levels near zero (0). This positioning is a result of the declining trading volume from over $200 billion in January 2025 to almost nothing today, which can simply amplify uncertainty among traders. 
Such a reading is capable of creating a classic double-edged situation. A bullish view would mean that long-term holders are not selling, and supply on the exchange is extremely thin. Thus, any real buying pressure would probably trigger sharp upward moves. 
A cautious view would be shaped by traders’ fading interest, with the market in a wait-and-see mode. Historically, periods of extremely low liquidity have usually led to major price moves in both directions.

This comes as DOGE struggles to reclaim the psychological $0.10 level, with the risk of further declines. 
The Dogecoin Price Could Soon See Gains
In an X post, KrissPax stated that the Dogecoin price has been tightening within a symmetrical triangle for two months, with strong support at $0.09. He added that with crypto market sentiment and trading volume both low, he could see big gains, though he warned they could quickly reverse. On the other hand, he said that any quick drops will get bought up. 
His accompanying chart showed that the Dogecoin price could target the $0.10 level in the short term. Crypto analyst CW also indicated that DOGE could soon see a bullish move. In an X post, he said that DOGE is approaching the end of its descending channel and that a breakout would signal a trend reversal. He added that market participants will be able to see the start of an uptrend for the leading meme coin this week. 
Meanwhile, crypto analyst The Composite Trader stated that a big move is coming for the Dogecoin price, although he suggested that the move could end up being to the downside. He noted that price has been compressing for 60 days straight, building higher lows and creating sellside liquidity, while also building lower highs and creating buyside liquidity. 
The analyst mentioned that, from a higher-timeframe perspective, the first move will most likely be a fake move, but ideally, he will look to profit from that first higher-timeframe move. He added that he is closely monitoring the lower timeframes to find an entry to derisk and leave run for HTF targets.
The Bear Market May Soon Be Over For DOGE
Crypto analyst Kevin Capital has suggested that the bear market may soon be over for the Dogecoin price. In an X post, he stated that the market is very likely in the latter half of the crypto bear market, possibly even slightly further along. He explained that nearly every momentum, money flow, and strength indicator, along with on-chain data, supports this view. 
As such, the analyst advised that it may be time to shift one’s mindset from a cautious doomer to an opportunity hunter, especially for those who have been sitting on a lot of cash since last year. It is worth noting that DOGE could also see a rebound soon amid reports of a ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran. 
At the time of writing, the Dogecoin price is trading at around $0.09061, down over 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

The $1.9 trillion Wall Street firm’s entry would arrive more than two years after the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved the first Bitcoin ETF back in January 2024.
Morgan Stanley’s Bitcoin ETF Push 
The new fund, expected to trade under the ticker “MSBT” on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), carries an annual fee of 14 basis points. That price undercuts the current market leader, BlackRock’s IBIT, by 11 basis points — a sizable discount that Bloomberg expert Eric Balchunas called “semi‑shock.” 
By Balchunas’s account, Morgan Stanley’s lower fee makes the product more palatable for the firm’s advisors and increases its chances of attracting outside assets. 
Compared with many mainstream equity-index ETFs, which typically charge between 3 and 10 basis points, the bank’s fee positions its Bitcoin exposure closer to a commodity‑like pricing structure, the expert noted.
Roy Kashi, CEO of FalconEdge, suggested the move is intended to “blow the competition out of the water,” adding that Morgan Stanley’s low fee both legitimizes Bitcoin ETFs further and demonstrates the bank’s appetite to capture market share. 
ETF Launch Anticipated To Spur Fee Competition
Experts such as Balchunas expect the NYSE Arca listing notice to make the fund effective on April 8, at which point trading could begin. The expert has previously indicated that projections for first‑year assets under management will surface after the listing and further analysis. 
However, if Morgan Stanley&#8217;s MSBT attracts significant inflows, it is anticipated that fee competition among issuers may increase, forcing other issuers to adjust their pricing, distribution, or product features.
The timing of Morgan Stanley&#8217;s drive also aligns with a changing regulatory and legislative landscape. Several major financial organizations have accelerated plans for direct Bitcoin exposure and infrastructure as a result of the Trump administration&#8217;s renewed stance toward clearer frameworks for digital assets.
As such, major financial firms, including Charles Schwab, have announced plans to expand their Bitcoin capabilities. This signals a growing interest among wealth managers, broker-dealers, and hedge funds, as noted in a social media post by Phong Le, CEO of Strategy.

Solana Attempts To Rebuild The Trust
This Monday, the Solana Foundation announced on a blog post the launching, in collaboration with Asymmetric Research, of the STRIDE (Solana Trust, Resilience and Infrastructure for DeFi Enterprises) program. STRIDE is an organized framework designed to continuously assess and oversee the security of projects built on the ecosystem.
According to Assymetric Research&#8217;s own blog post, STRIDE works as an eight‑pillar security framework that will carry out independent reviews of ecosystem protocols to verify they comply with it. The results of these assessments will be released publicly, giving users and investors clear visibility into the safety of the platforms they use.
In parallel to STRIDE, the foundation also released the Solana Incident Response Network (SIRN), a member‑driven coalition of security companies and researchers focused exclusively on the Solana ecosystem. According to the blog post, founding participants of the membership-based network include Asymmetric Research, OtterSec, Neodyme, Squads, and ZeroShadow. SIRN is the “war room”, sharing threat intel and coordinating live hack responses across the ecosystem.
The new initiatives sit on top of existing tools like Hypernative, Range, Riverguard, Sec3, and AuditWare, which are offered free to builders to harden code from day one. This is a core shift away from one‑off audits toward continuous, foundation‑funded monitoring, public security reports and coordinated incident response.
A Shift In Security Protocols, But A Shift In Sentiment?
These moves directly follow the April 1st $286 million attack on the Solana-based Drift Protocol that ended up being attributed to North Korean hackers.
The blog post, however, makes no mention of the attack. Despite that, it does spell out the need to strengthen the security services the foundation offers.
Solana was built for security. And as the ecosystem scales, the stakes scale with it (…) Solana Foundation has a long history of dedicating resources to ensure that security services and tools are available to the ecosystem.
While it is true that security headlines and follow‑through on STRIDE/SIRN may help repair sentiment after the Drift shock, any new exploit on an unevaluated protocol could be punished harder.

Pundit Runs Down The Scenario That Will Lead There</title><description><![CDATA[A market commentator has presented a long-term outlook suggesting that Bitcoin could climb to roughly $300,757 even without the kind of explosive rally typically associated with a full bull run. The argument centers on a structured price channel that has historically guided Bitcoin’s broader trend, with a key midpoint acting as the dividing line between ordinary growth phases and a bull run.
The Long-Term Channel Behind The $300,757 Bitcoin Target
According to a recent analysis shared on X by @CoinvoTrading, Bitcoin’s current position inside its long-term channel implies that a move toward the midline alone could send the asset into the $300,000 range, provided the long-term structure remains intact.
The model referenced by the analyst is built around a broad ascending channel that tracks Bitcoin’s historical price action across multiple market cycles. The lower boundary of this structure represents long-term support, while the upper boundary reflects the outer limit of previous bull market expansions.
Between these two boundaries sits a central resistance line that functions as the most critical level in the framework. Historically, Bitcoin’s behavior around this midpoint has helped define the nature of each market phase.
When Bitcoin moves upward but fails to break above the middle resistance, the market tends to remain in a steady uptrend. However, when the asset decisively pushes through this midpoint, previous cycles have seen the market push into a bull run.
The chart accompanying the commentary places the midpoint of this channel at approximately $300,757. A projected timeline marker near that level indicates April 23, 2028, as a potential period where price could align with that resistance if the current trajectory continues.
At the same time, the broader channel outlines the wider range of possibilities within the structure. The lower boundary of the trend channel sits near $106,712, while the upper extreme extends toward roughly $973,197. These figures illustrate the scale of the long-term corridor within which Bitcoin has historically fluctuated.
Why $300,000 Could Arrive Without A Full Bull Market
The central point of the analyst’s argument is that reaching the midpoint of the channel does not require the type of rapid, euphoric price expansion seen in previous bull cycles. Instead, the chart suggests that a consistent upward trend could gradually guide Bitcoin to $300,757. In this scenario, the market would simply continue respecting the structure of the long-term channel without entering a parabolic phase.
Past market behavior forms the basis of this claim. Earlier cycles displayed similar patterns where Bitcoin climbed along the lower portion of the channel before eventually approaching the midpoint during extended uptrends.
Within this context, the $300,757 level represents a structural milestone. Only a decisive move above that midline would historically signal the transition into a more aggressive bull market phase. Until such a breakout occurs, the analyst’s model frames the $300,000 region as a potential destination driven by steady long-term momentum.

Discover What They Are Waiting For</title><description><![CDATA[XRP is struggling below $1.35. Selling pressure is present. Uncertainty is higher. And the largest participants in the market have quietly stepped back from the exchange in a way that changes the overhead supply picture entirely.
A CryptoQuant analysis tracking whale activity on Binance has identified a behavioral shift that sits directly beneath the current price weakness. Daily whale inflows to Binance have fallen to approximately 12.60 million XRP — a fraction of the hundreds of millions that characterized the most active distribution periods earlier in the cycle. The 30-day cumulative flow indicator has dropped to approximately 1.44 billion XRP, one of its lowest readings since the start of 2026.
The significance is structural. Whale inflows to exchanges are the market&#8217;s primary mechanism for large-scale distribution — coins arriving at venues where they can be immediately sold into available liquidity. When those inflows collapse to multi-year lows, the pipeline of large-holder selling that has been weighing on XRP&#8217;s price has narrowed considerably.
XRP below $1.35 looks like a market under pressure. The whale data describes something more specific: a market where the heaviest sellers have reduced their activity to near-silence — and the price has not yet responded to their absence.
The Selling Infrastructure Has Pulled Back
The report&#8217;s behavioral interpretation of the whale inflow decline is where the data becomes most consequential. When large holders move XRP to Binance, the intent is rarely ambiguous — exchanges are selling venues, not storage facilities.
High whale inflows historically precede selling pressure because they represent large holders positioning their coins where they can act on them immediately. The reverse is equally readable: when whale inflows fall to multi-year lows, it reflects a deliberate decision by large participants to keep their XRP off the exchange and away from the immediate sell side.
The March comparison gives the current reading its full weight. At the peak of whale activity, the 30-day cumulative flow reached approximately 2.6 billion XRP — a level that represented sustained, large-scale movement of holdings toward Binance. Since then, the gradual retreat has been consistent and directional, bringing the cumulative figure down to approximately 1.44 billion — a reduction of nearly half in the primary distribution metric.
What has been removed from the market is not trivial. The infrastructure for large-scale selling — the pipeline of coins moving toward the exchange sell side — has contracted significantly since March. That contraction does not guarantee price recovery. It removes one of the most consistent structural arguments against it.
The heaviest sellers have stepped back. The price has not yet noticed.
XRP Tests Structural Support as Weekly Momentum Breaks Down
XRP is trading near $1.30 on the weekly timeframe, and the structure is clearly transitioning from expansion to correction. The rejection from the $3.00–$3.50 region established a decisive lower high, breaking the prior bullish sequence and shifting momentum to the downside.
Since that peak, the price has moved steadily lower, losing the 50-week moving average and now testing the 100-week average as support. The 200-week moving average remains below, near the $1.00 region, and represents the next major structural level if current support fails.
What stands out is the speed and cleanliness of the decline. The breakdown from above $2.00 occurred with strong directional movement, followed by only weak and short-lived bounces. This suggests that demand has not returned with enough strength to absorb selling pressure at higher levels.
Volume confirms this imbalance. Selling phases have been accompanied by higher participation, while recoveries show declining interest. That asymmetry typically reflects distribution rather than accumulation.
The key level is the current $1.25–$1.30 zone. A sustained break below it would likely accelerate downside toward the 200-week average. On the upside, reclaiming $1.80 is necessary to stabilize the structure, but a true trend shift would require a move back above $2.20.

SEC Plan Could Change Everything Over Night</title><description><![CDATA[The Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) crypto “safe harbor” framework has been sent to the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) for review.
Crypto-Safe Harbor Confirmed
SEC Chair Paul Atkins confirmed the “safe harbor” proposal he introduced last month has made its way to the White House for review. The proposal is now in the hands of the OIRA, a unit inside the Office of Management and Budget that vets federal rules before they are officially released.
Atkins claimed this at the “Digital assets and Emerging Tech Policy Summit” hosted by Vanderbilt University and the Blockchain Association on Monday.
The SEC’s token framework carves crypto into buckets (digital commodities, collectibles, tools, stablecoins, digital securities), with most tokens falling outside securities rules unless specific fundraising structures trigger investment‑contract status.
The safe harbor gives projects a fixed runway (multi‑year grace period) to build and decentralize before full securities compliance bites, as long as they meet disclosure and anti‑fraud conditions.
A New “Reg Crypto” For Innovation
Atkins also said at the summit the SEC is “close to” publishing a dedicated “reg crypto” (a cryptocurrencies regulation) rule focused on fundraising and startup exemptions under the Securities Act of 1933. Additionally, the SEC also preparing an “innovation exemption” which has support in crypto circles but is drawing pushback from parts of TradFi that worry about investor protection and market surveillance
SEC CHAIR ATKINS: WE WILL PROPOSE ‘REG CRYPTO’ FOR TOKEN FUNDRAISING SOON UNDER ‘33 ACT, WILL BE OPEN FOR COMMENT
ATKINS: WILL SOON HAVE “INNOVATION EXEMPTION” FOR USE OF DEFI UNDER ‘34 ACT
— Alex Thorn (@intangiblecoins) April 6, 2026
The new rulemaking will be aimed at handling fundraising questions under the 1933 Act, including a dedicated “fundraising exemption” that could let entrepreneurs raise up to a defined cap (around $75 million) in any 12‑month period while still using other exemptions.
This aims to clarify when token sales are securities offerings and when they are not, so issuers are not guessing around the edges of Regulation D and S forever. These are two different SEC exemptions that let companies sell securities without doing a full public registration, but they target different investors. Regulation D is for private offerings, mainly to U.S. accredited investors. Regulation S is for offerings made entirely outside the U.S., so issuers can sell to non‑U.S. investors without registering in the U.S., as long as they follow specific conditions.
Atkins is openly inviting industry feedback, which means the first version of these rules is not the final word.
This is the first time the SEC is packaging a token safe harbor, a bespoke “reg crypto” and an innovation exemption into a coherent regime instead of case‑by‑case enforcement.
Let’s not forget that joint guidance issued by the SEC and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) recently has already said most crypto assets are not securities.
What This Means For The Market
Atkins also urged the crypto community to show up for the upcoming elections. According to him, the future of crypto regulation depends on voter turnout.

— ChartNerd (@ChartNerdTA) April 6, 2026
Atkins declarations add to the “end of regulation by enforcement” narrative. The safe harbor and “reg crypto” moving to the White House is the moment where that rhetoric turns into a rulemaking process that will outlast individual chairs, unless Congress rips it up.
All these moves are designed to bridge the gap while Congress works on broader market‑structure legislation like the CLARITY Act.
If the rules land roughly as proposed, it’s safe to expect a medium‑term tailwind for on‑chain liquidity, token issuance, and “US‑listed” narratives. But the market will also have to price in stricter disclosure and cut‑and‑dry treatment of actual digital securities.

Despite recent market headwinds and fluctuating prices, he remains strongly bullish on BTC’s long-term prospects. While many analysts warn of deeper price corrections based on the traditional four-year cycle theory, Pal challenges this view. He argued that Bitcoin is currently in a five-year supercycle and could be positioning for a move toward a new all-time high. 
Pal Reveals When Bitcoin Could Hit A Peak
Lately, the crypto market has been in a fierce downturn, with Bitcoin showing renewed signs of weakness after its price slipped slightly below $69,000 again. Although many analysts believe Bitcoin is currently in a cyclical bear market, recent commentary from Pal suggests the cryptocurrency’s bull cycle may still be in play. 
Notably, market analyst Crypto Tice shared a video of Pal on X, where the Real Vision CEO explained why he believes Bitcoin could still climb to a new all-time high during this cycle. Pal emphasized that the Bitcoin top is not yet in, projecting that the flagship cryptocurrency could hit its ultimate cycle peak in the second quarter of 2026. 
Earlier, in October 2025, Bitcoin surged to a peak above $126,000, driven by many bullish factors, including strong demand for Spot Bitcoin ETFs and heightened market enthusiasm. However, since reaching that milestone, the cryptocurrency has trended downward, as heavy liquidations, market manipulation, and selling pressure crushed expectations of higher highs.  
According to Pal, BTC could still stage another rally to a new peak because the cryptocurrency’s current bull cycle has been extended to a five-year supercycle. Unlike the four-year cycle theory, which holds that a bear phase typically resets the market and lays the foundation for a new bull cycle, Pal’s argument suggests that BTC’s true bear market may not have begun yet. This leaves room for the cryptocurrency to resume its previous uptrend and target new all-time highs. 
To support his thesis, Pal pointed to Bitcoin’s price behavior, noting that it appears to be tracking the global business cycle. He explained that this cycle has been prolonged due to reduced liquidity across the financial system. Because of this extension, the Real Vision CEO maintains that BTC’s bull market is not yet over. 
BTC Price Projected To Reach $140,000
In a recent post on X, market expert Merlijn The Trader referenced a video featuring Pal, in which the Real Vision CEO explained that Bitcoin is currently trading at a discount due to tight liquidity conditions across the market. Based on this outlook, Pal forecasted that BTC could climb to at least $140,000, establishing a new peak. 
At the time of writing, BTC is trading above $68,500, meaning a surge to this bull target would represent a more than 100% increase. Moreover, when measured against its current October ATH, such an advance would reflect a gain of over 10%.

Mow Calls Out The Rush
Samson Mow, founder of Bitcoin firm Jan3, went public over the weekend with a pointed warning: moving too fast on quantum security could leave Bitcoin more exposed, not less.
His comments came after Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong and the company&#8217;s chief security officer, Philip Martin, called on the industry to start acting now against quantum computing threats.
Mow pushed back hard. A rushed transition to post-quantum cryptography, he said, risks opening up fresh vulnerabilities — including compatibility breakdowns and a sharp drop in how many transactions the network can handle at once.
&#8220;Simply put: make Bitcoin safe against quantum computers just to get pwned by normal computers,&#8221; Mow wrote on X.
It’s been almost 10 years since the Blocksize Wars ended and Brian hasn’t changed at all.
He still carries the exact same complete lack of humility and understanding. Brian forms the opinion first, along with a prescribed course of action and timeframe, instead of starting by… https://t.co/Ti7QV63e7P
— Samson Mow (@Excellion) April 4, 2026
A Ghost From Bitcoin&#8217;s Past
At the center of his concern is block size — the cap on how much transaction data fits inside a single Bitcoin block. Larger post-quantum signatures mean more data per transaction, which means fewer transactions per block, which means a slower and more congested network.
Former Bitcoin developer Jonas Schnelli put numbers to it, and Mow cited them directly. The implications go beyond speed. Block size has been a flashpoint before.
Between 2015 and 2017, a bitter community dispute over whether to expand Bitcoin&#8217;s block size tore the ecosystem apart and ultimately led to a chain split.
That fight raised deep questions about decentralization, network security, and who really gets to decide Bitcoin&#8217;s direction. Mow is warning the same battle could be coming back — what he&#8217;s calling &#8220;Blocksize Wars 2.0.&#8221;
Where Mow Draws The Line
Mow isn&#8217;t saying quantum threats should be ignored. His argument is about timing, not priority. Research on potential solutions is already underway, he said, and that work should continue.
But quantum computers capable of cracking Bitcoin&#8217;s encryption, he argued, are still a decade or two away at minimum. Rushing a fix for a threat that doesn&#8217;t yet exist, he said, creates real risks today in exchange for protection against something hypothetical tomorrow.
The debate is gaining urgency as new research from Google and the California Institute of Technology has stoked fresh concern about how quickly quantum computing may develop.
Armstrong and Martin flagged those findings as reason enough to move the timeline up. Mow&#8217;s position: the cure could be worse than the disease, at least for now.

For the first time in more than a year, the Solana price has been consistently trading below the $100 mark as sell-offs ravage the cryptocurrency. However, with the new month, there might be some light at the end of the tunnel for SOL investors if April plays out as expected.
April Could Be A Green Month For The Solana Price
The prediction algorithm on the CoinCodex website has gone bullish in favor of the Solana price as the market ushered in the new month. Instead of following the set trend over the last few months and continuing to decline, it seems the Solana price might be headed for some respite.
The algorithm takes into account various indicators for a digital asset and uses that to predict a likely outcome for the asset. For Solana, the verdict is that the cryptocurrency might end up seeing a double-digit rally that would put it above the $100 level again.
In total, it predicts that the Solana price will rise by 30% to reach $103.76 by the time the month is over. On the medium-term (3-month timeframe), the algorithm predicts that the Solana price will rise by 63% to reach $130. This would mean that the third quarter is expected to be bullish for the price.
April Is An Historically Bullish Month
Looking at historical performance, the month of April has turned out to be more bullish than not for the Solana price. In cases where the month has ended in the red, the gains from the green months have outpaced those dominated by losses.
According to data from the CryptoRank website, in the last five years, Solana has ended a total of three months of April in the green, with the lowest return of these being +23.2% and the highest at +60.8%. Meanwhile for the years that the month ended in the red, the highest losses has been -15.7% and the lowest at -3.25%.
This brings the overall average for the month well into the positive, with the website’s data showing an average return of +18.7&amp; and a median return of +10.8%. However, the second quarter of the year remains a mixed bag with as many red closes as there are green closes. So, it remains to be seen how the Solana price will perform in Q2.

Stakeholders Optimistic About Latest Compromise
On Monday, Crypto In America shared that the stablecoin yield dispute, the key issue stalling the highly anticipated crypto market structure bill, also known as the CLARITY Act, “appears to be at an inflection point after a second round of meetings with Senate staffers late last week.”
At the end of the week, the crypto and banking industries reviewed the latest language on whether companies can offer rewards to stablecoin holders without triggering deposit flight. Two anonymous sources, one from each party, told Crypto in America that crypto industry participants read the text on Thursday, while banks briefed on it on Friday.
According to the report, neither source discussed details on the latest version of the stablecoin compromise, but “said they were hopeful a workable solution had been reached this time.”
The latest deal follows the crypto industry’s dissatisfaction with the late-March draft. It’s worth noting that the two parties have been disagreeing over the potential prohibition of yield and rewards on stablecoin balances, delaying the crypto bill for nearly three months.
Last month, the crypto and banking industries reviewed the revised version of the CLARITY Act, which reportedly prohibited platforms from offering yield, directly or indirectly, for holding a stablecoin, or in a manner that resembles a bank deposit.
This restriction would broadly apply to digital asset service providers, including exchanges and brokers, as well as their affiliates. The text allegedly aims to limit workarounds and prohibit any activity “economically or functionally equivalent” to interest, addressing concerns from the banking industry side.
The proposal reignited backlash from major crypto players, including Coinbase and Stripe. Coinbase told Senate offices it could not support the updated draft, as the company had “significant concerns” about the latest stablecoin yield language.
However, Coinbase’s CLO, Paul Grewal, sparked excitement about the legislation last Wednesday after suggesting that Senate negotiators were “very close” to reaching a deal on the language.
Stablecoin Yield Final Text Release For Late April?
As Congress is out on Easter break, the Monday report noted that it remains unclear whether the Senate Banking Committee will publish the latest draft ahead of the bill’s markup session, which is anticipated for late April.
As reported by Bitcoinist, the text on the stablecoin yield compromise was first expected to be released ahead of the break, but in a shift from late March guidance, it has been delayed to the latter half of the month.
A spokesperson for Senator Thom Tillis’s office affirmed that the final text on the compromise between industry stakeholders and the Senate Banking Committee would be delayed due to concerns that releasing the text ahead of a markup “could give opponents an opening to slow the bill’s progress.”
Now, “if the yield issue is indeed moving to the back burner, it means Banking Committee staff and members, once they return, have the next two weeks to close out, as best they can, remaining issues related to DeFi, tokenization, and token classification,” which have also seen silent progress over the past few months, Senator Tim Scott recently said.

Seven Years Of Cover, 40+ Platforms Breached
MetaMask developer and security researcher Taylor Monahan said Sunday that North Korean IT workers have been embedded inside more than 40 decentralized finance platforms, some of them household names in the crypto space.
Their infiltration goes back to what the industry calls &#8220;DeFi Summer&#8221; — roughly 2020, when decentralized finance exploded in popularity.
oh god uhhhh like sushi, thorchain, yam, pickle, harvest, reclaim, swing, paid, naos, shezmu, qrolli, saffron, sifu, napier, harmony, blueberry, stabble, onering, elemental, divvy, la token, impermax, kira, cook, fantom, ankr, gamerse, metaplay, spice, beanstalk, deltaprime,…
— Tay (@tayvano_) April 5, 2026
Monahan said the &#8220;seven years of blockchain development experience&#8221; these workers list on their resumes isn&#8217;t fabricated. They actually built the protocols.
The Lazarus Group — the name given to North Korea&#8217;s state-sponsored cyber operation — has pulled an estimated $7 billion from the crypto industry since 2017.
Reportedly:
In 2026 Lazarus made 18 attacks on protocols in 3 months
Stolen funds are funding &#8220;North Korea&#8217;s Nuclear Weapons&#8221;
It’s the most successful venture fund built on hacks
Here is the complete attack timeline https://t.co/GuNL4FTCqv pic.twitter.com/7YJzYrTEJj
— jussy (@jussy_world) April 5, 2026
That figure comes from analysts at creator network R3ACH. Major attacks attributed to the group include the $625 million Ronin Bridge breach in 2022, the $235 million WazirX hack in 2024, and the $1.4 billion Bybit theft in 2025.
Not All North Korean — Third-Party Proxies Now Involved
What sets the Drift case apart is who showed up in person. The protocol said that face-to-face meetings connected to the breach were not conducted by North Korean nationals.
Instead, reports indicate the group used third-party intermediaries — people with built-out fake identities, fabricated employment histories, and professional networks constructed to pass scrutiny.
Lazarus Group is the collective name for all DPRK state sponsored cyber actors.
The main issue is everyone groups them all together when the complexity of threats are different.
Threats via job postings, LinkedIn, email, Zoom, or interviews are basic and in no way… pic.twitter.com/NL8Jck5edN

Sleuth: Companies That Still Fall For This Are Negligent
Blockchain investigator ZachXBT pushed back on how the industry discusses these threats, saying not all attack types carry the same weight.
Recruitment-based schemes — job postings, LinkedIn outreach, Zoom interviews — are, in his words, basic. They require no technical sophistication. What makes them effective is sheer persistence.
&#8220;If you or your team still falls for them in 2026, you&#8217;re very likely negligent,&#8221; ZachXBT wrote.
For companies looking to screen out bad actors, the US Office of Foreign Assets Control maintains a public database where crypto businesses can check counterparties against updated sanctions lists and watch for patterns tied to IT worker fraud.

Strategy Has Added 4,871 Tokens To Its Bitcoin Treasury
In a new post on X, Strategy co-founder and chairman Michael Saylor has shared details related to the company&#8217;s latest Bitcoin acquisition. In total, the firm has added 4,871 BTC for $329.9 million or $67,718 per token with this purchase.
Strategy has had a consistent routine of announcing acquisitions on Monday, but the firm had a rare skip last week. Saylor&#8217;s post from Sunday foreshadowed the return to buying ways this week, as the chairman shared the company&#8217;s BTC portfolio tracker with the caption: &#8220;₿ack to Work.&#8221;
According to the filing with US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Strategy bought its latest tokens between April 1st and 5th. The firm funded the purchase using sales of its STRC and MSTR at-the-market (ATM) stock offerings.
In the past, Strategy has often shown a tendency to buy local price tops, with its tokens already dipping into losses by the time it reveals the purchase. This time around, however, the latest Bitcoin spot price is still trading above the buy&#8217;s cost basis, meaning that the tokens are in the green.
Though, the firm&#8217;s holdings as a whole have continued to be underwater recently. Following the new purchase, Strategy&#8217;s cost basis is sitting at $75,644, putting its Bitcoin reserves in a loss of about 8.1% at the current spot price. The company first fell underwater with the price crash at the start of February and with the market staying down since then amid uncertainty like the Iran war, BTC hasn&#8217;t been able to reclaim its break-even level.
A milestone that Strategy has cleared with the latest acquisition is that its total investment into the asset has broken past the $58 billion mark. With a total of 766,970 tokens in its wallets, Saylor&#8217;s firm occupies a network supply share of 3.83%, by far the highest among corporate treasury holders of Bitcoin.
Just like how Strategy regularly announces purchases on Monday, Ethereum&#8217;s largest treasury company, Bitmine, has made a habit of doing the same. This Monday has been no different, with Bitmine&#8217;s regular press release going up with information related to the firm&#8217;s latest ETH accumulation.
Over the past week, Bitmine added 71,252 ETH to its wallets, the largest weekly buying spree since December 2025. Thomas &#8220;Tom&#8221; Lee, the company&#8217;s chariman, said:
Bitmine has maintained the increased pace of ETH buys in each of the past four weeks, as our base case ETH is in the final stages of the &#8216;mini-crypto winter.&#8217;
The Ethereum treasury firm now holds a total of 4,803,334 ETH, equivalent to 3.98% of the cryptocurrency&#8217;s total supply in circulation.
BTC Price
At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading around $69,200, up 3.5% over the last 24 hours.

That&#8217;s the warning Google put out recently, and it&#8217;s part of what&#8217;s pushing companies like Circle to act now rather than wait.
Arc Becomes A Testing Ground For Quantum Security
Circle, the company behind the USDC stablecoin, has unveiled a quantum-resistant security roadmap for Arc, its layer-1 blockchain currently running on public testnet.
The plan is phased. When Arc goes live on mainnet — expected sometime in 2026 — users will have access to quantum-proof wallets and signatures from day one.
That feature will be opt-in at first. Protections at the validator level and across offchain systems, including cloud environments, access controls, and hardware security, are set to follow in later stages.
JUST IN: CIRCLE ROLLS OUT FULL-STACK QUANTUM DEFENCE PLAN FOR ARC BLOCKCHAIN
Circle has announced a comprehensive quantum-resistance strategy for its Arc L1 blockchain, targeting wallets, validators, private state, and core infrastructure.

Circle was blunt about why it&#8217;s moving now. &#8220;Quantum resilience cannot live only in research papers, exploratory pilots, or distant roadmap slides,&#8221; the company said. &#8220;It has to show up in the infrastructure.&#8221;
Arc is being built to serve enterprise clients who want to use USDC across a wide range of financial applications. Quantum security, Circle says, has to be part of the foundation — not an afterthought bolted on later.
Exposed Public Keys Are The Immediate Risk
One detail Circle flagged is easy to miss but matters a lot. Wallets that have already signed transactions are more exposed than those that haven&#8217;t, because signing a transaction reveals the public key.
Quantum resilience can’t wait until the market forces it.
Arc’s post-quantum roadmap is designed to secure blockchain infrastructure in phases:
→ Post-quantum wallet signatures
→ Quantum-secure private state
→ Post-quantum-safe infrastructure
→ Validator hardening
This…

Once that key is out, a powerful enough quantum machine could work backward to find the private key and drain the funds.
&#8220;Active addresses that have already signed transactions must migrate before Q-Day because their public keys have been exposed,&#8221; Circle said. Q-Day refers to the point when quantum computers become powerful enough to break current encryption standards.
Researchers at the California Institute of Technology recently suggested that functional quantum computers could be operational before 2030 — earlier than most previous estimates.
Google&#8217;s research, published March 31, indicated that cracking crypto-grade encryption may also require far less computing power than once assumed.
An Industry Divided On How Fast To Move
Circle is not alone in pushing for post-quantum solutions. According to Google&#8217;s research, Algorand ranks as the most quantum-ready blockchain right now.
The Ethereum and Solana ecosystems are also working toward solutions ahead of any potential threat.

Bitcoin and Ethereum are facing volatility. And beneath the price action, four separate data points are pulling in four separate directions — which is precisely why this moment is more complicated than it looks.
A CryptoQuant report has identified a market structure that defies simple characterization. Exchange netflows have turned positive for two consecutive days — shifting from -1,275 BTC to +682 BTC and then +428 BTC — meaning short-term sell-side supply is returning to exchanges after a period of net outflows. Simultaneously, open interest has climbed from $21.22 billion to $22.60 billion across three sessions, confirming that derivatives traders are rebuilding positions at scale.
Both of those developments would normally signal growing bullish conviction. The funding rate data refuses that interpretation. Funding has flipped from positive to negative and held there for two days — meaning the derivatives market is not overheated with aggressive longs but is instead reflecting cautious, two-sided positioning. Traders are opening positions without committing to a direction.
The market is not confused. It is hedged. That distinction matters because a hedged market does not move on sentiment alone — it moves when one side of the hedge is forced to cover. The data does not yet indicate which side breaks first.
Crypto Leverage Is Back
The report&#8217;s most consequential finding is the one that prevents a bullish reading of the open interest rebound. The 60-day USDT market cap change remains below zero — meaning that the stablecoin liquidity that fuels sustained price trends has not returned to the market in any meaningful quantity. Derivatives positioning is increasing. Spot demand is not confirming it. That divergence is the defining condition of the current environment.
The practical consequence is direct. When leverage rebuilds without liquidity support, price recoveries tend to be shallow and volatile rather than sustained and directional. The fuel for a trend continuation — fresh capital entering through stablecoins, new spot demand absorbing sell-side supply — is absent. What exists instead is a derivatives market rebuilding positions on top of a spot market that has not yet decided to participate.
The report translates this into a probability framework that deserves to be taken seriously rather than dismissed as false precision. Forty percent range-bound or neutral. Thirty-five percent short-term upside attempt. Twenty-five percent downside pressure. That distribution is not a forecast — it is a structured representation of what the four competing signals currently support.
The resolution conditions are equally specific. Upside confirmation requires exchange inflows to slow or reverse alongside a recovery in funding rates toward neutral. Downside risk escalates if inflows continue expanding while open interest rises and volatility increases. Neither condition has been met. The market is coiled between them — and this is not the moment to assume which way it uncoils.
Total Crypto Market Cap Stabilizes Between Key Averages
The total crypto market cap is showing early signs of stabilization, but the weekly structure still reflects a market that has lost momentum after a strong expansion phase. Price is currently holding near $2.3 trillion, sitting between the 100-week and 200-week moving averages — a zone that often acts as a transitional range rather than a clear trend environment.
The rejection from the $3.8–$4.0 trillion region marked a decisive lower high, breaking the prior bullish sequence. Since then, the market has retraced sharply, losing the 50-week moving average and briefly testing the 200-week average before bouncing. That reaction confirms the 200-week as structural support, at least for now.
However, the recovery lacks conviction. The crypto market has not been able to reclaim the 100-week moving average decisively, and the 50-week average is beginning to slope downward, signaling weakening trend strength. Volume patterns reinforce this interpretation — large spikes during sell-offs, followed by relatively muted participation on rebounds.
This creates a fragile equilibrium. If the market cap reclaims the $2.6–$2.8 trillion region, it would signal renewed strength and open the path toward previous highs. Failure to do so keeps the structure range-bound, with downside risk toward the $2.0 trillion level if the 200-week support fails to hold.

Since the waning price action, the activity of retail BTC holders and whale investors across the market seems to have been slowly diverging. 
BTC Whales And Retailers Activity Diverge
With ongoing volatility, Bitcoin has remained compressed within the $65,000 and $70,000 range, and investors are starting to demonstrate their reaction. A notable shift is unfolding in the structure of BTC as large holders or whales and retail holders are moving in a different direction.
According to CW, a crypto market expert and investor, retail holders have been leaving the market, possibly linked to the ongoing sideways price action of BTC. Meanwhile, whale investors are entering the market, allowing them to take full control of the market and capitalize on its future moves.
Following his analysis of the Bitcoin Whale Exchange Ratio, the expert highlighted that the key metric has surpassed 60%, which shows that the market is sitting comfortably in the hands of high-net-worth players. It is worth noting that this figure marks its highest level in the past 10 years.
This transition is changing market dynamics to a period where BTC’s price performance is becoming more influenced by the choices of a small group of players. When this divergence occurs, it is considered a key indicator in determining volatility, liquidity, and Bitcoin’s next major move.
CW stated that retail investors left the market swiftly after the Bitcoin price fell to the $60,000 level. This level holds historical and psychological importance in the BTC market. As seen in the chart, this point at which the exchange whale ratio reached its peak is the starting point of every bullish rally in the past decade.
Are Large Holders Positioning For A Bitcoin Rally?
Despite the bearish price action, large investors’ sentiment is becoming evidently strong and is currently expanding. In another post on the X platform, CW shared that BTC whales are steadily increasing their balances at a tremendous rate at current price levels.
When large investors accumulate at such a pace, it often points to robust conviction in the coin in spite of broader market uncertainty. In some cases, this powerful buying spree transitions into a period of sustained upward pressure, which raises the speculation of whether BTC could be set to surge again.
This ongoing accumulation is not just extremely fast, it is also unprecedented in the history of BTC. Whale investors are pushing the pace to its maximum, while BTC retail holders have exited the market as the asset continues to consolidate. These holders are unfazed by BTC’s current price trend as they scooped up massive amounts of BTC without experiencing any decrease.

According to crypto expert Adam Livingston, the market still is not fully valuing what that pace of accumulation could mean over time.
Q1 2026 Changed How The Market Reads Weakness
According to numbers from its Bitcoin purchases page, Strategy bought a total of 89,599 BTC in the first quarter of 2026, taking its total holdings to 762,099 BTC. This was the second-largest accumulation range period, and only the fourth quarter of 2024 was larger.
According to Livingston, if Strategy were to sustain Q1&#8217;s acquisition pace for three consecutive years, its holdings would reach 1.84 million Bitcoin by April 2029, equivalent to roughly 2.4 times its current holdings of 762,099 BTC. That projection, he notes, assumes no improvement in capital market conditions and no expansion in demand for STRC, Strategy&#8217;s variable-rate perpetual preferred stock. It is, in other words, a floor estimate built on the worst-case scenario.
The chart that accompanied Livingston’s post shows Strategy bought 340,983 BTC in regimes above $90,000, compared with 161,326 BTC in sub-$50,000 regimes, a high-to-low accumulation ratio of 2.11x. 
The largest single band on the chart is the $90,000 to $110,000 range, where disclosed purchases totaled 297,102 BTC across 30 events, accounting for 39.0% of all buys. The $70,000 to $90,000 band comes next with 162,805 BTC, then the sub-$30,000 band with 99,030 BTC. 
These buying bands show something important: Strategy has not been most extreme in its buys when Bitcoin looked cheap. It has been at its most extreme when Bitcoin was already expensive and still rising.
Bitcoin Itself Is Still Undervalued
Livingston ties the Q1 accumulation story to a much larger Bitcoin thesis and how it relates to Strategy&#8217;s accumulations. Even if Strategy were to trade at a flat 1.0 multiple to net asset value, generating zero BTC yield premium, Livingston calculates the company&#8217;s 1x mNAV price at $288 per share by that point. The actual outcome, however, will be considerably higher because the model assumes a static Bitcoin price.
If Bitcoin simply reverts to its long-term power law trend, which places the leading cryptocurrency&#8217;s price at a target range near $360,000 by the end of 2028, then the entire crypto industry is badly underestimating both Strategy’s future balance sheet and the knock-on effect on Bitcoin’s own valuation.
A company that can accumulate nearly 90,000 BTC in a single difficult quarter and that is incentivized to buy harder as prices rise is a huge demand force. If such large-scale corporate accumulation continues even in weak quarters and even increases when prices recover, then the supply available to the broader market may keep reducing at a faster pace than many traders are modeling.

Here Is What It Is Planning Next</title><description><![CDATA[Bitcoin is trying to reclaim $70,000. The market is preparing for a decisive move. And a publicly listed company just removed another 5,075 Bitcoin from the available supply — without announcing a ceiling on how many more it intends to buy.
Top analyst Maartunn has highlighted a corporate treasury move that deserves more attention than a standard acquisition announcement typically receives: Metaplanet has purchased an additional 5,075 BTC, adding to a position that now places the company among the largest Bitcoin-holding publicly listed entities in the world. The transaction was not a one-time allocation. It is the latest step in a deliberate, escalating accumulation strategy that has been building for months.
The timing is not incidental. Bitcoin attempting to reclaim $70,000 while a major corporate holder continues to absorb supply at scale is not the same market as Bitcoin attempting $70,000 without that demand. Every BTC that enters Metaplanet&#8217;s treasury is a BTC that leaves the liquid float — unavailable for immediate sale, removed from the overhead supply that has been capping recoveries.
The price is trying to break higher. The corporate buyers are not waiting for it to succeed before they act. That sequence — institutional accumulation preceding price confirmation — is worth paying attention to.
Third in the World. And Still Buying
Maartunn&#8217;s data places Metaplanet&#8217;s current position in the corporate Bitcoin hierarchy with precision. At 40,177 BTC, the company now ranks third among publicly listed Bitcoin holders globally — behind only Strategy, whose 762,099 BTC position remains the dominant benchmark by an enormous margin, and Twenty One Capital, which holds 43,514 BTC and sits just ahead of Metaplanet in the rankings. The gap between the second and the third is narrow. The gap between first and everyone else is a different conversation entirely.
What makes the ranking less important than the trajectory is Metaplanet&#8217;s stated long-term target: 210,000 Bitcoin. That figure is not an aspirational range or a soft commitment. It represents approximately 1% of the total Bitcoin supply that will ever exist — a fixed, finite number that every purchase brings closer to being concentrated in a single corporate treasury.
To put that ambition in context: Metaplanet currently holds 40,177 BTC. Its target is 210,000. It has acquired roughly 19% of its goal. The remaining 81% represents a sustained, structural source of demand that does not respond to short-term price movements, does not pause during corrections, and does not reduce its target because the market is uncertain.
At $70,000, Bitcoin is trying to break higher. Metaplanet is trying to own 1% of it. Both things are happening simultaneously — and one of them is not waiting for the other to resolve first.
Bitcoin Presses $70K Resistance as Downtrend Structure Holds
Bitcoin is attempting to reclaim the $70,000 level, but the daily structure still reflects a market in recovery rather than trend continuation. Price is currently trading just below that threshold after bouncing from the February capitulation low near $60,000. That rebound established a short-term range between roughly $65,000 and $72,000, where the price has been compressing for several weeks.
The broader context remains bearish. Bitcoin is still trading below the 50, 100, and 200-day moving averages, all of which are sloping downward and stacked above price. This alignment confirms that sellers continue to control the higher timeframe trend, and each rally into these averages has been rejected.
What has changed is volatility. The sharp sell-off in February was accompanied by a clear spike in volume, signaling forced liquidation and aggressive selling. Since then, volume has normalized, and price action has become more orderly. That typically marks a transition phase — not a reversal, but a pause where the market rebuilds positioning.
The key level remains $70,000. A clean break above it, followed by acceptance, would shift short-term momentum and open the path toward $75,000–$78,000. Failure to reclaim it keeps Bitcoin range-bound, with $65,000 acting as the lower boundary and a critical level to monitor for renewed downside pressure.

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

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

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

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

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

A Quick Expansion, A Quicker Response
When the crypto exchange added the Rwandan franc to its peer-to-peer trading platform last Friday, it took the National Bank of Rwanda just two days to respond.
The central bank posted a firm warning on X on Sunday, telling the public that using the local currency to buy or sell crypto remains against the law.
&#8220;Crypto-assets are NOT authorized for payments, FRW conversion, or P2P trading involving FRW under the current framework,&#8221; the bank wrote.
Officials urged citizens to stay away from crypto, citing serious financial risks and no legal protection if money is lost.
Please be reminded that the Rwandan Franc (FRW) is the only legal tender in #Rwanda.
Crypto-assets are NOT authorized for payments, FRW conversion, or P2P trading involving FRW under the current framework.
The public is urged to avoid such transactions due to serious financial… https://t.co/elY0cht67h
— Central Bank of Rwanda (@CentralBankRw) April 5, 2026
Bybit had announced the addition on X, saying users could now use the Rwandan franc through its P2P service to trade for crypto. No statement has been issued by the exchange in response to the central bank&#8217;s warning.
RWF is now live on Bybit P2P

Trade more, earn more!
— Bybit (@Bybit_Official) April 3, 2026
Central Bank Draws A Hard Line On The Franc
The National Bank of Rwanda made its position plain in a second post on the same day. The franc, officials said, remains the country&#8217;s only legal currency. Licensed financial institutions in Rwanda are barred from converting the franc into crypto or the other way around.
That prohibition has been in place since 2018, when Rwanda first began restricting crypto activity — part of a broader effort to protect its financial system and keep control over how money moves inside its borders.
Rwanda is also building its own state-backed digital currency. The e-franc rwandais is currently in a proof-of-concept phase and could move into a pilot program. That project appears to be one reason authorities are drawing a sharp line between state-controlled digital money and private crypto platforms.
A Licensing Path May Still Open
The picture is not entirely closed for crypto operators in Rwanda. In March, the country&#8217;s Capital Market Authority released a draft bill that would create a legal path for virtual asset service providers to apply for licenses and operate under official supervision. The bill is still working its way through the legislature.
Under the proposed rules, crypto could not be used as legal tender. Mining operations and mixer services would be banned. So would any token tied to the Rwandan franc. But companies that meet the licensing requirements could, for the first time, legally offer services in the country.

A Long-Standing Crypto-Infiltration Saga
News and reports from the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea tend to have a particular conspiracy theory-action movie feel to them. However, they also have the tendency to be true and not over exaggerated at all.
This time, security researcher and MetaMask developer Taylor Monahan said on a Sunday post on the social network X that these methods date back to DeFi’s formative years, with actors linked to the DPRK quietly contributing to several major, widely used protocols.
Yuppppppp
Lots of DPRK IT Workers built the protocols you know and love, all the way back to defi summer
The “7 years blockchain dev experience” on their resume is not a lie. https://t.co/EQNgl5KhJ5
— Tay (@tayvano_) April 5, 2026
She claims that North Korean IT workers have quietly worked inside more than 40 DeFi projects over roughly seven years, including protocols that became household names after DeFi summer.
oh god uhhhh like sushi, thorchain, yam, pickle, harvest, reclaim, swing, paid, naos, shezmu, qrolli, saffron, sifu, napier, harmony, blueberry, stabble, onering, elemental, divvy, la token, impermax, kira, cook, fantom, ankr, gamerse, metaplay, spice, beanstalk, deltaprime,…
— Tay (@tayvano_) April 5, 2026
These workers often have “real” on‑chain experience (seven years of blockchain dev) but operate under stolen or synthetic identities, plugging into teams via normal hiring funnels
Her posts reply to tim, a pseudonymous builder and public face of Titan, a Solana‑based DEX aggregator and routing project, claiming that for a previous job they interviewed an extremely qualified candidate that turned out to be a Lazarus operative, the North-Korea affiliated group that has funneled billions of dollars in stolen money through cryptocurrency networks.
at a previous job, we interviewed someone who turned out to be a Lazarus operative. he did video calls and was extremely qualified
we invited him for in person interviews and he ultimately declined to fly out, so we passed
only later did we find his name in a Lazarus info dump… https://t.co/Vnvffrkjee
— tim | Titan (@timahhl) April 5, 2026
Renowned crypto detective ZachXBT also replied to tim’s post, explaining that this is not just “Lazarus” but a network of DPRK units (Lazarus, APT38, AppleJeus, etc.) coordinated by the Reconnaissance General Bureau and optimized for financial cybercrime. Their methods are based on “basic, relentless” outreach via LinkedIn, job boards, interviews, Zoom, plus remote dev roles that teams still grant far too easily.
Lazarus Group is the collective name for all DPRK state sponsored cyber actors.
The main issue is everyone groups them all together when the complexity of threats are different.
Threats via job postings, LinkedIn, email, Zoom, or interviews are basic and in no way… pic.twitter.com/NL8Jck5edN

Recent U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctions and Chainalysis findings signal that DPRK IT networks generated $800 million in 2024 alone and have moved billions in stolen crypto since 2017, feeding weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and missile programs.
New Information On The Crypto-Hack On Drift Protocol
The April 1st $285 million attack on Drift Protocol reignited fears about insider threats from North Korea, especially after the protocol itself confirmed on Saturday that speculation linking the attack to North Korean hacking groups was right.
https://t.co/qYBMCup9i6
— Drift (@DriftProtocol) April 5, 2026
They attributed the attack “with medium confidence” to UNC4736, a North Korea–aligned, state‑sponsored hacking group.
The protocol claimed the attackers relied on a well elaborated social engineering strategy: fake professional personas, in‑person conference interactions, and booby‑trapped developer tooling to compromise contributors before finally executing the exploit. The attackers posed as a legitimate trading firm, met Drift contributors in person across several countries and used fully constructed identities with work histories and professional networks before triggering the exploit
The attackers weaponized common developer tooling by slipping malicious tasks into VS Code and Cursor configurations, delivering a compromised repository that contributors ran locally without realizing it. All these combined make the incident far more like an insider‑style supply‑chain compromise than a straightforward smart contract.
The day after the attack, Ledger CTO Charles Guillement linked the attack method to Bybit’s $1.4 billion hack, which was attributed to the regime’s cyber units. Then, on Friday, blockchain analytics firm Elliptic released an investigation claiming the on‑chain behavior, laundering methods, and network‑level indicators match the techniques seen in prior DPRK‑linked operations. Bitcoinist covered the story.
Market Implications
This saga crypto-hacking has turned into structural national‑security risk. Regulators and sanctions bodies are already tightening around DPRK IT networks, and more aggressive enforcement is likely to follow.
Large, state‑linked exploits create latent protocol risk: higher insurance premia, potential delistings, governance infighting over restitution, and longer risk‑off periods for DeFi tokens and perp volumes.

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

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

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