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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Inside Solana-Based Drift Protocol $286 Million Exploit</title><description><![CDATA[Blockchain analytics firm Elliptic says the $286 million exploit of Solana-based Drift Protocol is most likely linked to the Democratic People&#8217;s Republic of Korea (DPRK).
Solana Suffered One Of The Largest Crypto Exploits In History
On April 1st, the DEX Drift Protocol suffered a major exploit that drained almost $300 million dollars in crypto assets from its core vaults. The exchange reported on it on its official X account as it was still undergoing:
Drift Protocol is experiencing an active attack. Deposits and withdrawals have been suspended. We are coordinating with multiple security firms, bridges, and exchanges to contain the incident. This is not an April Fools joke. We’ll provide additional updates from this account as… https://t.co/03SRPq4fHj
— Drift (@DriftProtocol) April 1, 2026
The raid unfolded in under 20 minutes, with roughly $286 million siphoned off across a basket of assets from close to 20 vaults. Drift is the largest decentralized perpetual futures exchange on Solana. This is the biggest crypto exploit seen so far in 2026 and ranks among the largest on record, edging out the $235 million WazirX breach.
Drift’s total value lock (TVL) collapsed from roughly $550 million to under $250 million after the attack. The team’s emergency response consisted of pausing deposits and withdrawals and coordinating with security firms and exchanges.
The protocol shared the details of the incident later on, claiming it was a “a highly sophisticated operation that appears to have involved multi-week preparation and staged execution”. Beyond that, the exchange’s official channels refrained from attributing responsibilities.
Earlier today, a malicious actor gained unauthorized access to Drift Protocol through a novel attack involving durable nonces, resulting in a rapid takeover of Drift’s Security Council administrative powers.
This was a highly sophisticated operation that appears to have involved…
— Drift (@DriftProtocol) April 2, 2026
Now, the analytics firm Elliptic has released an investigation claiming the on‑chain behavior, laundering methods, and network‑level indicators match the techniques seen in prior DPRK‑linked operations, making this not just another DeFi rug, but a suspected state‑sponsored attack.
The North Korean Hackers Strike Again
Ledger CTO Charles Guillement also linked Drift’s attack method to Bybit’s $1.4 billion hack, which was attributed to North Korean hacking groups. NewsBTC’s sister website Bitcoinist reported on this yesterday.
Drift Protocol, one of the leading perpetual DEXs on Solana, has been hacked for approximately $213M. This makes it the biggest hack of 2026 so far, and one of the largest ever on the Solana blockchain, right behind the Wormhole Bridge exploit of 2022.
The full details of the…
— Charles Guillemet (@P3b7_) April 2, 2026
According to Elliptic, the attacker likely compromised Drift’s administrator private keys, gaining privileged control over withdrawals and key parameters. The attack systematically drained three main vaults: JLP Delta Neutral, SOL Super Staking and BTC Super Staking, including a single $41.7 million JLP transfer worth about $155 million.
Elliptic traced the stolen funds and concluded that the attacker created the wallet roughly eight days before the exploit and even received a small test transfer from a Drift vault. This suggests a pre‑planned, staged operation rather than a smash‑and‑grab.
After the exploit was completed, the attacker used Jupiter, a Solana DEX aggregator, to swap the stolen tokens into USDC, bridged funds to Ethereum, and then rotated into ETH and other assets across multiple wallets.
Such cross‑chain laundering patterns, obfuscation methods, and network‑level indicators match techniques seen in prior DPRK‑attributed attacks, Elliptic claims. If officially confirmed, this would be the 18th such operation with over $300 million stolen already.
Confirmed or not, there is no denying that state‑linked actors are systematically targeting liquidity‑rich crypto protocols to fund North Korea’s weapons programs. Let’s not forget that the North Korea‑affiliated Lazarus Group has funneled billions of dollars in stolen money through cryptocurrency networks.
Elliptic has already clustered all attacker‑linked token accounts on Solana and Ethereum so exchanges and protocols can screen against contaminated funds in near real time.
The hack will likely harden scrutiny of Solana DeFi governance, admin key design, and multisig security, even as the ecosystem continues to chase institutional‑grade perps liquidity.

The technical analysis shows that the ETH/BTC pair is no longer breaking down and is now quietly settling down at a level that has always led to sell-off exhaustion in the pair.
ETH/BTC Holds Range Lows As Selling Pressure Fades
The ETH/BTC 12-hour chart tells a story that has been unfolding since July 2025 and is now nearing a completion. The ETH/BTC chart shows a pair that has spent recent months grinding lower before finally reaching a support zone. As shown in the chart below, the ETH/BTC ratio has been in a sustained decline for the past few years from a peak near 0.0420 in mid-2025, which the analyst labels as wave 5 of a completed five-wave impulse. 
The ratio worked its way down through a series of lower highs and lower lows throughout the second half of 2025 and January 2026. However, it has been compressed between February and March into what looks like a macro support zone between approximately 0.02143 and 0.02626.
This support was noted by CrediBULL Crypto as being important in this context, with the analyst pointing out with confidence that the ETH/BTC pair is bottoming here and is in a final stage preceding a true breakout from the current range.

The Elliott Wave labeling on the chart frames the current structure on the ETH/BTC pair as a (w)-(x)-(y) correction after the previous five-wave impulse that peaked in mid-2025. Wave (w) has played out in full, and the projection is a wave (x) move that should see the Ethereum price going on a 20% move up on the Bitcoin price.
The most important step in this projected move is reclaiming the previous range lows around 0.0308-0.031, which have now flipped into resistance. Failure to reclaim the level would likely delay this scenario, but the current price action has been characterized by repeated attempts to push higher.
Switching to the ETH/USD 30-minute chart, the analyst overlays a Wyckoff Accumulation schematic to the current price action. The Ethereum/USD chart complements the ETH/BTC outlook, showing price trading in a range just above $2,000. This is above a notable support level around the $1,900-$1,950 range, where multiple reactions have occurred.

There’s also a pink resistance zone above, which is around roughly $2,120 to $2,200. CrediBULL Crypto&#8217;s projection, illustrated by the green arrows, envisions a brief retest of support below $1,900 before an upside resolution that pushes the ETH price above the pink resistance zone to $2,400 and maybe higher.

Despite the calls for a bottom, it seems that the digital asset might be far from actually reaching a bottom. As the new quarter unfolds, there is also the possibility that the Bitcoin price will end up forming a bearish pattern, and this could mean that the crypto winter could continue for much longer than expected.
Bitcoin’s Bearish Close And Its Implications
Pseudonymous crypto analyst Ming outlined what the bearish close actually means for the Bitcoin price. According to the post, this move shows that the bears are actually in charge and that the possibility of a lower decline is still very much in play.
Instead, the crypto analyst is looking at the Bitcoin price from the Higher Time Frame (HTF), putting the focus on the structure of the digital asset, as well as key levels that investors need to watch. Taking these in tandem, it could point to where the price is headed next.
The main level, the crypto analyst says, actually lies at around $58,900. This is interesting because the Bitcoin price has yet to hit this low since the decline began, making it an untapped monthly low. Therefore, whether or not the price ends up touching this level would be a great determinant of where Bitcoin is headed next.
What To Expect If Bears Break The Line
As already mentioned above, $58,900 is the next important level for Bitcoin, so it is imperative for bulls to hold above this level while the bears try to pull it down. In the case that the price breaks blow $58,900, then the analyst predicts that further decline are in view.
This is because a break of this level would lead to the formation of the Three Black Crows candlestick pattern. This is historically bearish and would lead to a bearish candle. Following previous performances, it could result in an over 30% decline.
However, in the event that the Bitcoin price does maintain above this level after sweeping it, then it would be bullish for the price. The analyst predicts that the cryptocurrency could end up moving back into the $71,300-$74,400 level as a result. But Minga explains that “There’s liquidity resting there on the LTF so another bearish retest of that area is still very much in play before continuation back to the downside.”

IMF Flags Limits Of Traditional Resolution Tools
In a note released by the IMF on Wednesday, tokenization is described as more than a technological innovation: it represents an institutional transformation. 
By converting money, securities, and derivatives into programmable digital tokens recorded on shared ledgers, tokenization changes how claims are created, moved, and settled, the IMF stated. 
That change, the note says, carries both the potential for efficiency gains and the risk of significant disruption to established regulatory and crisis‑management frameworks.
A central concern for the Fund is that tokenized finance does not fit neatly within the national, territorially bound legal and oversight structures that underpin current resolution regimes. 
Traditional crisis-management tools rely on jurisdictional control of institutions, infrastructures, and assets. In contrast, the IMF describes tokenized systems capable of executing transactions across multiple jurisdictions at &#8220;machine speed.&#8221; 
The IMF cautions that this could leave authorities with limited levers to contain stress when the critical control points in a tokenized environment may rest in governance keys, consensus mechanisms, or the logic of smart contracts rather than in nationally domiciled entities.
Five‑Point Roadmap To Tame ‘Tokenization Risks’
To address these alleged tokenization challenges, the IMF sets out what it calls a “coherent policy roadmap” built around five pillars that respond to the new allocation of trust and risk created by tokenized infrastructures. 
First, the Fund claims settlement should be anchored in safe forms of money: systemically important tokenized transactions must ultimately settle in assets that minimize credit and liquidity risk. 
Second, the IMF urges the adoption of global standards and recommendations for crypto markets consistent with the principle of “same activity, same risk, same regulatory outcome,” echoing prior IMF and Financial Stability Board work. 
Third, the Fund calls for legal certainty: they said legislators and courts should clarify the legal status of the tokenization sector, how ownership records are established, and when settlement becomes final, ensuring that legal frameworks evolve alongside technical deployment.
Fourth, the IMF recommends common standards for settlement expectations and finality, and cooperative oversight arrangements to prevent fragmentation and to manage cross‑border risks. 
Fifth, liquidity and crisis‑management frameworks must be adapted to a continuous, 24/7 automated environment; central banks and other authorities may need to develop new tools or operate directly within tokenized infrastructures to keep their policy instruments effective.
Taken together, the IMF argues, these measures would form the backbone of a stable and efficient tokenized financial system. Implementing the roadmap will require sustained and close cooperation between public authorities and private sector participants across jurisdictions, the Fund notes.

The litigation targets Arizona, Connecticut, and Illinois — and in Illinois’ case, specifically names Governor J.B. Pritzker — after those states took steps the CFTC says improperly constrain or try to regulate contract markets that are registered with the agency.
CFTC Seeks Unified Regulation
In a statement announcing the legal action, the CFTC said event contracts traded on platforms such as Kalshi and Polymarket fall squarely within the Commission’s remit under the Commodity Exchange Act. 
The agency argued that Congress intentionally established a unified national regulatory framework for commodity derivatives markets to prevent a fragmented patchwork of state rules that would, in the regulator’s view, undermine consumer protection and increase risks of fraud and manipulation. 
“The CFTC will continue to safeguard its exclusive regulatory authority over these markets and defend market participants against overzealous state regulators,” CFTC Chairman Mike Selig said in the release.
The suits mark the first time the regulator has resorted to litigation to press this point, reflecting mounting tension between federal and state officials over how to treat prediction markets. 
Congress Considers Tighter Prediction‑Market Curbs
The CFTC accused the named states of attempts to outlaw, limit, or otherwise interfere with the operations of designated contract markets (DCMs) that are registered with the Commission. 
Those state actions, the agency said, run contrary to the Commodity Exchange Act’s delegations and risk imposing inconsistent obligations on market participants. 
The regulator noted it recently issued an Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to clarify the application of the CEA and CFTC regulations to prediction markets, and signaled it expects to follow through with formal rulemaking that will more explicitly define and reinforce its supervisory role.
The legal push comes as Capitol Hill and other institutions weigh tighter curbs on certain types of event contracts. A group of congressional Democrats last week introduced legislation that would ban prediction-market wagers on sensitive topics, including elections, war, and sports. 
Separately, Massachusetts Representative Seth Moulton proposed a restriction banning congressional staff from using prediction markets, a measure believed to be unprecedented in Congress.
Pressure has also come from professional sports organizations. Sabrina Perel, the National Football League’s (NFL) chief compliance officer, wrote to prediction market operators — in a letter reviewed by CNBC — asking them to block event contracts she considered objectionable. 
The NFL has signaled that it believes sports-related contracts may warrant a distinct regulatory approach, an idea that mirrors the CFTC’s position that certain event contracts may need special attention.

Coinbase Wins Major OCC Approval
On Thursday, Coinbase announced it received conditional approval from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) to charter Coinbase National Trust Company, marking a crucial step to becoming a federally regulated crypto custodian.
In the official statement, Coinbase outlined the scope of the charter, explaining that the company is not becoming a commercial bank and will not take retail deposits or engage in fractional reserve banking.
“This charter is about bringing federal regulatory uniformity to the custody and market infrastructure business we have been building for years. The OCC charter was designed precisely for this purpose — to provide clear oversight over assets in safekeeping — and that is exactly how we intend to use it,” the announcement read.
The conditional OCC approval allows Coinbase to “build the next chapter of finance,” the company noted, bolstered by the regulatory confidence, and validates its approach of “engaging with regulators, earning their trust, and operating to the highest standards.”
Moreover, the approval signals that the federal regulatory framework is transforming to align with the evolving landscape that crypto has been gradually shaping.
In an interview, Greg Tusar, Co-CEO of Coinbase Institutional, affirmed that “the ability to have a federal framework for our custody business is important,” adding that “this is about us growing our reach and being able to conduct new business that we may not have been able to before.”
Crypto Trust Banks Face Opposition
Coinbase applied for the charter last October and has now joined the list of firms that have received the main banking regulator’s approval. As reported by Bitcoinist, the OCC approved conditional bank charters for Ripple, Circle, BitGo, Paxos, and Fidelity in December.
In February, stablecoin platform Bridge, owned by Stripe, and crypto exchange Crypto.com announced they had also secured the OCC’s conditional approval to establish a national trust bank. However, US banks have raised concerns that the approvals could blur the lines between banking activities and lead to regulatory arbitrage.
Nearly two months ago, the American Bankers Association (ABA) asked the banking regulator to postpone its review of applications for crypto bank charters, suggesting that the approvals should wait until key regulatory uncertainties are resolved.
In its letter, ABA called for patience as emerging regulatory frameworks take shape, proposing that the review process continue when the US Congress completes the rules that will ultimately govern many recent applicants for the OCC’s charter.
The banking lobby cited uncertainty surrounding emerging business models, the need for increased transparency in the charter application and decision-making processes, and the absence of finalized federal oversight as key reasons for the proposed delay.
US Senator Elizabeth Warren also sent a letter to Comptroller Jonathan Gould asking the banking regulator to pause its review of the Trump Family’s main crypto venture, World Liberty Financial, which applied for a national trust charter in January.

Bitcoin Mining Company Riot Has Moved Another 500 BTC
As shared by on-chain sleuth Lookonchain in an X post, Riot Platforms has made a transfer away from its Bitcoin wallet during the past day. In total, this transaction involved 500 BTC, worth $34.13 million at the time that the move took place.
The destination of the move was an unknown wallet, so it&#8217;s not possible to say for sure what the intent behind it was, but it&#8217;s likely that it was for selling the tokens. Previously, the company offloaded $200 million worth of Bitcoin during the final months of 2025.
Riot is a public Bitcoin mining company based in the United States that holds the BTC that it mines as a treasury asset. In terms of computing power or Hashrate, the firm is among the largest miners in the world, according to data from BitcoinMiningStock.
From the table, it&#8217;s visible that Riot Platforms has a total installed Hashrate of 38.50 exahashes per second (EH/s), putting it number five on the list of the largest public mining companies.
Like other big miners, Riot has also been exploring the AI/high-performance computing (HPC) business. As such, it&#8217;s possible that the new Bitcoin sale is linked to this expansion.
Before the outflow transaction, Riot Platforms held a total of 18,005 BTC in its treasury, but if the sale is confirmed, that figure would reduce to 17,505 BTC. The miner is currently ranked seventh among the public Bitcoin treasury firms.
BTC Mining Difficulty Is Set To Jump On Friday
The Bitcoin network is approaching its next mining Difficulty adjustment and according to data from CoinWarz, the change is expected to be a green one. The &#8220;Difficulty&#8221; refers to a feature built into the BTC blockchain that controls how hard miners would find it to mine blocks on the network.
This metric automatically changes its value about every two weeks depending on blockchain conditions since the last adjustment. The BTC network targets a block time of 10 minutes, so if miners mine a block in an average interval faster/slower than this, the chain raises/eases its Difficulty just enough to counteract the change.
Since the previous adjustment, BTC has seen an average block time of 9.60 minutes, which is faster than expected. Therefore, the network will increase its Difficulty by about 4.17% to slow the miners back down to the intended rate.
BTC Price
Bitcoin made some recovery earlier in the week, but the coin has declined again as its price is floating around $66,100.

That seizure, tied to Chen Zhi of Prince Group, was just the opening move. Now his right-hand man is in custody too.
Extradition From Phnom Penh
Li Xiong, former chairman of Huione Group, was flown from Cambodia&#8217;s capital to China on April 1 after a task force from China&#8217;s Ministry of Public Security coordinated the transfer with Cambodian officials.
He now faces fraud and money-laundering charges. Hong Kong-based outlet Ta Kung Wen Wei first reported the development, citing a statement from the Ministry posted on WeChat.
Xiong&#8217;s arrest follows Chen Zhi&#8217;s by about three months, suggesting Chinese law enforcement has been working through the syndicate&#8217;s leadership in stages.
Arrested and released within hours back in January. Two months later, Li Xiong has been extradited to China. CCTV is calling him a core member of Chen Zhi’s criminal gang. Chen Zhi was extradited in January too. https://t.co/Y9pYI30Ysp pic.twitter.com/xHSY6NvYFX
— Jacob in Cambodia (@jacobincambodia) April 1, 2026
Huione Group operated as the financial backbone for scam operations spread across Southeast Asia. These included so-called &#8220;pig butchering&#8221; schemes — long-con frauds where criminals build fake online relationships with victims before draining their savings through fake investment platforms.
The group processed over $89 billion in crypto assets, according to blockchain analytics firm Elliptic, making it one of the largest illicit financial operations ever documented.
A Network Built On Stolen Crypto
The syndicate&#8217;s reach extended well beyond Cambodia. Victims around the world lost money to scam centers that funneled proceeds through Huione&#8217;s infrastructure.
In October, the US Treasury Department&#8217;s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network cut Huione Group off from the American banking system entirely, ordering US financial institutions to close any accounts or payment channels linked to the group. That move effectively froze the network&#8217;s access to dollar-denominated finance.
Around the same time, the US Department of Justice announced it had seized 127,271 Bitcoin connected to Chen Zhi. At current values, that haul exceeds $15 billion — one of the largest crypto seizures in history.
Authorities Warn Remaining Members
Chinese officials are not done. Ta Kung Wen Wei reported that several other members of the syndicate have already been brought to justice. Officials issued a public warning to anyone still at large, urging them to turn themselves in and cooperate in exchange for more lenient treatment.
&#8220;Public security authorities will continue to intensify efforts to capture fugitives,&#8221; the outlet quoted officials as saying.
The message was blunt: the window to surrender is open, but it will not stay open long. With two of the group&#8217;s top figures now in Chinese custody and its finances cut off from the US banking system, what remains of the Huione network appears to be running out of room.

Crypto Framework Postponed In A Time Of Need
The Korean outlet Maeil Business Newspaper reported uncertainty in the crypto industry deepening after the National Policy Committee excluded the Framework Act on Digital Assets from the 31st of March agenda.
Lawmakers sent five finance-related bills to the subcommittee that day: the Framework Act on Administrative Regulation, the Credit Information Protection Act, the Microfinance Support Act, the Insurance Business Act, and the Capital Markets Act. Not a single bill related to crypto was included, but the Political Affairs Committee’s plenary session received Representative Kim Nam-geun’s “Partial Amendment to the Act on the Protection of Virtual Asset Users, etc.” and forwarded it to the Bill Review Subcommittee.
Lawmakers opted to park the second‑phase bill during a sensitive election window rather than ram through divisive provisions on banks and exchange tycoons, which have become “core landmines” in the legislative process. Speculation in Korean political coverage suggest that the presidential office and the Financial Services Commission (FSC) are not fully aligned on how far to push ownership caps and how tightly to ring‑fence stablecoin issuance, adding to the deadlock narrative.
The proposed crypto framework comes at a time of major importance, as the aforementioned political disagreements also happen to be the two key fights occurring between major players in the Korean cryptocurrency and financial industry.
The Stablecoins Fight
South Korea has recently seen a tug‑of‑war between The Bank of Korea and the FSC over who gets to issue won‑denominated stablecoins.
The BOK is pushing for a bank‑led consortium model where commercial banks must hold at least 51% of any issuer of won‑denominated stablecoins. Bitcoinist reported this on October last year.
The FSC, however, accepts that stablecoins need strict safeguards but opposes a hard 51% bank‑ownership rule, warning it would lock out tech platforms, fintechs and exchanges that actually build the user‑facing products.
These stablecoin-issuers rules are to be hard‑wired under the Digital Asset Basic Act, so every month of delay leaves existing and would‑be KRW stablecoin issuers operating in a gray zone or stuck on the sidelines. According to local outlet Aju Economy, this is a real and concerning issue for the industry. They reported on and industry insider lament:
We need the bill to be finalized quickly to determine our business direction, but currently, we are keeping all possibilities open, which is only increasing the cost burden.
The Equity-Cap Fight
The FSC has been backing proposals to treat big crypto exchanges more like securities or ATS‑style markets, where no single “same person” can own beyond roughly 15–20% in principle. After heavy pushback, regulators and the ruling party have coalesced around a 20% ceiling for “major shareholders”, with a narrow exception that allows stakes up to 34% for new entrants, mirroring the 33.3% veto line in Korea’s Commercial Act. Bitcoinist covered the story at the beginning of the past month.
For existing giants like Upbit and Bithumb, this is a post‑facto rule. Founders and early backers already hold stakes well above 20%, so a hard cap would force them to sell down significant portions of their equity over a three‑year transition (six years for some smaller exchanges). This could potentially disrupt ongoing M&amp;A and reshape control of the local market.
What This Means For The Market
South Korea seems ready to move from ad‑hoc crackdowns to a comprehensive crypto regime. This delay comes on top of recent moves from Seoul to step up oversight with strategies such as AI surveillance, manipulation probes and tax tracking, and to loosen some restrictions, like easing earlier exchange‑stake proposals and reconsidering corporate crypto trading.
Near term, rule uncertainty around KRW stablecoins and exchange ownership could keep Korean venues’ risk premia high and make local listing or market‑making plans harder to model. Post‑election, a bank‑heavy stablecoin framework plus tighter governance rules could favor well‑capitalized incumbents and banks over smaller, high‑beta platforms. This could reshape liquidity and altcoin listings.
Lawmakers watering down ownership caps or opening up stablecoin issuance beyond banks would be a clear risk‑on signal for KRW‑denominated products and for global firms eyeing Korea’s retail base.

Most governments would treat that as a footnote. The Bitcoin Policy Institute thinks it should be a starting point.
A Case Built On Worst-Case Scenarios
In a report published Tuesday, BPI research fellow Jacob Langenkamp made the case that Taiwan should build a national Bitcoin reserve — not mainly as a financial play, but as protection against the possibility of a Chinese military blockade or invasion.
His argument is simple: if China cuts Taiwan off, gold cannot be moved and dollar reserves can be frozen. Bitcoin, he wrote, requires no physical transport and remains accessible regardless of what happens on the ground.
Taiwan&#8217;s central bank had already looked at the idea and walked away from it. In December, the bank concluded that Bitcoin was too volatile, too hard to store safely, and too thin in liquidity to serve as a reserve asset.
It pointed to the US dollar as the more sensible option. Langenkamp acknowledged those concerns are real — but argued they can be solved with the right institutional know-how on custody and risk management.
The Dollar Problem Analysts Say Taiwan Is Ignoring
The report&#8217;s broader warning centers on how exposed Taiwan already is to the US dollar. At least 80% of the central bank&#8217;s reserves are held in dollar-denominated assets, and most of its trade runs through the same currency.
Langenkamp listed several pressures that could erode the dollar&#8217;s value over time — rising US government debt, Federal Reserve money expansion, a possible downturn in AI-sector valuations, and shrinking semiconductor revenues.
Bitcoin, he argued, could pair with gold to offer a buffer against those risks, giving Taiwan&#8217;s central bank a hedge before other countries make the same move.
Taiwan&#8217;s central bank did not fully close the door after its December decision. Officials said the bank would continue testing digital asset technology through a sandbox program, using crypto the country already holds.
The Numbers Behind Taiwan&#8217;s Existing Holdings
The 210 Bitcoin figure came from lawmaker Ko Ju-Chun, who disclosed it on social media last year. According to data from crypto treasury tracker BitBo, those holdings — if officially counted — would rank Taiwan seventh among nations holding Bitcoin, just behind El Salvador and ahead of Finland. The country is not currently listed in BitBo&#8217;s national reserve rankings.
Whether Taiwan&#8217;s government acts on the BPI report remains to be seen. The think tank has no formal role in Taiwanese policy, and the central bank&#8217;s position has not changed.
But the report adds a new dimension to the global debate over Bitcoin as a state-level asset — one that goes beyond economics and into the question of what a country does when access to its own money is at risk.

Two Key Indicators Say the Stress Is Not Over Yet</title><description><![CDATA[Bitcoin is trying to hold $66,000. The market is bracing for volatility. And the on-chain data entering April tells a story of sustained, intensifying pain — with one critical detail that changes how that pain should be interpreted.
Analyst Axel Adler has published on-chain findings that place the current Bitcoin environment in precise historical context. The 7-day moving average of Net Realized Profit and Loss has reached -$410 million as of early April — a deterioration of $154 million in a single week. That acceleration matters as much as the level: loss-selling pressure is not holding steady; it is deepening. Across March and into April, the metric has remained in sustained negative territory, confirming that sellers are consistently exiting positions below their cost basis.
The quarter&#8217;s range tells the full story of the reversal. On January 19th, the same metric registered +$394 million — net profit-taking at scale. By February 7th it had collapsed to -$1.99 billion, the deepest single reading of Q1. The current -$410 million represents a re-intensification after a brief stabilization.
The critical detail is the bear market comparison. From October 2025 through March 2026, cumulative realized losses stand at -$64.2 billion — roughly half the -$125.2 billion accumulated during the entire 2021-2022 bear market. The pressure is real. It is not yet existential.
The Behavior Matches the Losses. That Is the Problem.
Adler&#8217;s second indicator adds a dimension that the Net Realized P/L metric cannot capture alone. The Short-Term Holder SOPR — measuring the average ratio between the sale price and acquisition price of coins held less than 155 days — has held below 1.0 for nine consecutive days. A reading below 1.0 means short-term holders are selling at a loss. Nine straight days means it is not an episode. It is a regime.
Historically, a prolonged SOPR stress regime of this kind resolves in one of two ways. Either price stabilizes, loss-selling exhausts itself, and the indicator gradually recovers above 1.0 — the pattern associated with bottoming and early recovery. Or price pressure persists, the cohort continues to capitulate, and the market enters a new leg lower. The data does not currently indicate which outcome is forming. It indicates that the stress is active, sustained, and has not yet shown the first sign of resolution.
That first sign has a precise definition. A confident return of the 7-day moving average above 1.0 — and critically, a sustained hold above that level — is the signal Adler identifies as the minimum confirmation that the stress regime is ending rather than pausing.
Taken together, the Net Realized P/L and STH SOPR confirm the same verdict from two different angles. Dollar losses are intensifying. Cohort behavior is systemically loss-driven. The pressure is real and measurable. What it is not — and this distinction matters — is the panic extreme that has historically characterized the final capitulation phase of a bear market. That phase produces readings far more severe than anything visible in the current data.
Bitcoin Consolidates Below Resistance as Bearish Structure Holds
Bitcoin is trading near $66,000 after failing to sustain a recovery above the $70,000 level, reinforcing a broader structure that remains tilted to the downside. The chart shows a clear breakdown in February, followed by a high-volume capitulation event that established the current trading range between approximately $62,000 and $72,000.
Since then, price action has been defined by consolidation rather than recovery. Bitcoin continues to print lower highs within this range, signaling that sellers are still active on rallies. The 50-day and 100-day moving averages are both trending downward above price, acting as dynamic resistance and capping upward momentum. The 200-day moving average remains significantly higher, confirming that the longer-term trend has weakened.
Volume behavior supports this interpretation. The initial sell-off was accompanied by a sharp spike in volume, suggesting forced liquidations or aggressive distribution. In contrast, the current consolidation phase shows reduced volume, indicating a lack of strong demand to drive a reversal.
Repeated rejections near the upper bound of the range highlight the absence of conviction from buyers. Until Bitcoin can reclaim key moving averages and break above resistance with strength, the structure favors continued consolidation or a potential retest of lower support levels.

Notably, a crypto analyst has warned investors about the potential downside to holding Dogecoin in this current risk-off market. He notes that the broader financial markets are also under serious pressure amid persistent geopolitical tensions and rising energy costs. 
Why Dogecoin Is A “Weak” Altcoin Now
Crypto market expert @ColinTCrypto has taken to X to share his bearish forecast for the DOGE price and why he believes the meme coin can still crash. In his post, the analyst described Dogecoin as a weak altcoin and warned that investors should not hold it right now. 
The analyst shared a chart showing Dogecoin trading at around $0.09. The chart traces the meme coin’s price movement from its 2021 peak to the present. After its explosive surge during the last bull market, DOGE mostly traded sideways, with occasional short-lived rallies, while the overall trend remained volatile and in a gradual decline. 
@ColinTCrypto has noted that this downward trend has culminated in the formation of the white triangle on the chart. He stated that Dogecoin has already fallen to its first critical support zone around $0.09. The analyst noted that the meme coin is showing strong signs of breaking down further, potentially hitting new lows.
Based on the downward trajectory of the white arrow on the chart, @ColinTCrypto predicts that Dogecoin could experience a major price correction to $0.073. At the time of writing, the meme coin is trading at $0.09, holding onto this support firmly, as a breakdown could confirm the analyst’s bearish outlook. Although market dynamics remain volatile, it&#8217;s still uncertain whether Dogecoin could crash toward $0.073. However, if it does, DOGE’s value would decline by almost 20%. 
Notably, @ColinTCrypto stated that most major altcoins in the market are showing similarly bearish positions. He highlighted that they are on the verge of further breakdowns as broader market sentiment remains weak. The analyst also attributes the current bearishness to a risk-off environment, meaning investors are actively avoiding risky bets and favoring safer options amid persistent geopolitical tensions and market uncertainty. 
Analysts Share Similar Bearish Sentiments
Other analysts are also watching Dogecoin’s price movements and raising concerns about a potential crash in the near future. Market expert Osemka on X stated that there is no more room left for altcoins to run, indicating that Dogecoin and other meme coins could soon break downwards. 
The analyst noted in an earlier post that Dogecoin has been “getting slammed” by the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) for the past three weeks, reinforcing his bearish outlook that the cryptocurrency is on the verge of another decline.

Bitcoin Whales Have Seen A Large Negative Yearly Netflow
In a new post on X, CryptoQuant has discussed the latest trend in the yearly netflow of the Bitcoin whales, who are investors carrying between 1,000 and 10,000 tokens of the cryptocurrency. At the current exchange rate, the lower end of the cohort&#8217;s range converts to $66.4 million and the upper one to $664 million. As such, the only holders who would qualify for the group would be those with a significant amount of capital.
Because of their position on the network, the behavior of the whales can often be worth keeping an eye on, as it may sometimes carry implications for the market. Even when it doesn&#8217;t, it can still be revealing about the sentiment among BTC&#8217;s most influential investors.
Now, here is the chart shared by CryptoQuant that shows the trend in the 1-year change in the Bitcoin whale supply, as well as its 365-day moving average (MA), over the last few years:
As displayed in the above graph, the Bitcoin whales saw a mostly positive 1-year change between late 2023 and mid-2025. In the back half of 2025, however, things began to change for these humongous entities, with their netflow slipping into the red zone.
From the chart, it&#8217;s visible that the shift in the 1-year change of whale holdings came ahead of BTC&#8217;s all-time high (ATH) above $126,000. This could be a potential sign that some large entities anticipated the forthcoming change of winds in the market.
After BTC saw its November drawdown, the whale netflow dropped to a highly negative value, reflecting aggressive distribution from the group. In 2026, the indicator initially saw recovery, with the February crash even coinciding with a change to slight net buying from the whales, but since then, its value has again plunged back into the negative territory.
Today, the 1-year change in the Bitcoin whale holdings is sitting at -188,000 BTC. Thus, it would appear that whales are participating in significant distribution. &#8220;This isn’t short-term,&#8221; noted the analytics firm. &#8220;The 365D trend is declining, signaling structural selling pressure.&#8221;
In some other news, on-chain analytics firm Glassnode, in its latest weekly report, has pointed out how a notable amount of supply currently has a cost basis above $80,000. BTC has recently been trading below this level, so all these coins have been underwater.
After all the bearish price action, these loss holders have two choices: either sell into relief rallies to minimize losses or risk capitulating on further drawdowns. Glassnode explained:
Resolving this overhang will likely require either a meaningful price discount to attract new buyers or an extended period of time for these coins to migrate from loss-realizing hands into more committed ownership.
BTC Price
Bitcoin recovered above $69,000 on Wednesday, but the coin has already retraced this surge as it&#8217;s now back at $66,400.

In a recent research blog post, Google said the quantum resources needed to attack the elliptic curve cryptography used across cryptocurrencies may be far lower than older estimates suggested, and it may be time for blockchain projects, especially Bitcoin, to take action against this impending risk.
Google’s Warning Puts Bitcoin’s Cryptography At Risk
Google’s warning is based on elliptic curve cryptography, which is the system that facilitates ownership and transaction signing across Bitcoin and many other digital assets. Every Bitcoin transaction relies on a cryptographic system called the 256-bit elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem, or ECDLP-256. It is the mathematical lock that protects wallet ownership and transaction integrity across the Bitcoin network. 
The consensus view held that breaking Bitcoin&#8217;s cryptographic system would require a quantum machine of extraordinary scale on the order of millions of qubits. However, researchers at Google have demonstrated that the computational threshold for a successful attack on a cryptographic system like Bitcoin&#8217;s is far lower than the industry had priced in.
Researchers at Google compiled two optimized quantum circuits that implement Shor&#8217;s algorithm against ECDLP-256. Based on the coverage of the blog post by Google’s research team, the company’s updated estimate pointed to roughly 1,200 to 1,450 logical qubits and fewer than 500,000 physical qubits for a relevant attack, with execution measured in minutes on a sufficiently advanced machine. This is an approximately 20-fold reduction in the number of physical qubits required to solve ECDLP-256.
What’s Next For Bitcoin And The Crypto Industry?
The problem is not just that quantum machines may become powerful enough one day to attack the Bitcoin blockchain. It is also that the resources needed to expose the network may be far less than many crypto participants assume. There is no need to panic, as the issue is not here yet. However, it is also no longer easy to dismiss as something for the far future.
Google’s wider quantum-security messaging now points to a 2029 migration timeline for post-quantum cryptography. The company noted that it is now working with others on responsible approaches, like Coinbase, the Stanford Institute for Blockchain Research, and the Ethereum Foundation. 
The most efficient way to mitigate these risks is transitioning blockchains to post-quantum cryptography (PQC), which is resistant to quantum attacks. However, the 2029 timeline also comes with the concern that the crypto industry may have a small preparation time. Transitioning a decentralized blockchain network to new cryptographic standards requires consensus across thousands of independent nodes, protocol-level upgrades, and compatibility solutions that can take years to design, test, and deploy. This is most likely where the controversial parts of the transition will happen.

Find Out If That Is A Warning Or An Opportunity</title><description><![CDATA[XRP is struggling to hold current support levels. The market is uncertain. And beneath the price, the structure that would normally cushion a sell-off has quietly thinned to one of its weakest readings in recent memory.
An Arab Chain report tracking market depth on Binance has identified a condition that makes the current support test more precarious than it appears on the surface: XRP&#8217;s 30-day liquidity index has dropped to approximately 0.062 — one of its lowest readings in recent periods. That number describes a market where buy and sell orders have become significantly less dense. The cushion that normally absorbs price swings without amplifying them has been removed.
What that means in practical terms is straightforward and should not be understated. When liquidity is deep, large trades are absorbed without dramatically moving the price. When liquidity is thin — as it is now — the same trade produces a sharper, faster, more violent response. The market has not become more dangerous because sentiment has shifted. It has become more dangerous because the infrastructure that manages price impact has deteriorated.
XRP is holding support in a market that has lost much of its shock-absorbing capacity. Those two facts belong in the same sentence — because they are the same problem.
The Market Is Not Just Thin. It Is Empty. And Empty Markets Move Fast When They Fill.
The report adds the dimension that completes the structural picture. XRP&#8217;s 30-day turnover index currently stands at approximately $4.46 billion — a figure that reflects not just reduced liquidity in the order book but reduced capital flow through the market entirely. Both institutional and retail participation have withdrawn simultaneously.
The order book is thin, and the volume flowing through it has declined in tandem. That combination — shallow depth and low activity — describes a market that has been effectively abandoned by the participants who would normally provide its stability.
The risk this creates is asymmetric and immediate. In a liquid, high-turnover market, large trades are absorbed gradually. In the current environment, the same trade size produces a disproportionate price response in whichever direction it pushes. The market has no buffer. Every significant order becomes a market-moving event by default.
The report identifies the constructive interpretation alongside the risk, and both deserve equal weight. Periods of compressed liquidity and low turnover have historically preceded significant price movements — not because thin markets are bullish, but because they are unstable. When capital returns to a market this empty, the price response is rarely gradual.
The XRP market is not waiting for a catalyst. It is waiting for volume. When that volume arrives — from whichever direction — the thin order book will amplify whatever it brings.
XRP Holds Fragile Range as Downtrend Persists
XRP is trading near $1.30 after a prolonged decline that has steadily weakened its market structure. The chart shows a clear downtrend, with price consistently printing lower highs and lower lows since late 2025. The sharp breakdown in February marked a decisive shift, pushing XRP into a lower range where it continues to consolidate.
Since that move, price has been confined between roughly $1.20 and $1.50, reflecting a temporary balance but not a reversal. XRP remains below the 50-day and 100-day moving averages, both sloping downward and acting as resistance on every recovery attempt. The 200-day moving average sits significantly higher, reinforcing the broader bearish trend.
Volume dynamics highlight the imbalance. The February sell-off was accompanied by a strong spike in volume, suggesting aggressive distribution or forced liquidations. In contrast, the current consolidation phase shows declining volume, indicating weaker participation and limited buying conviction.
Attempts to push toward $1.50 have repeatedly failed, with sellers stepping in before any structural breakout can develop. The market is stabilizing, but without reclaiming key moving averages, that stability remains fragile. As long as XRP trades below these levels, the path of least resistance continues to favor either extended consolidation or another move lower.

Despite the lack of direction in price, selling activity has continued across the market, effectively putting robust pressure on the leading cryptocurrency asset.
Persistent Selling Activity Weighs on Bitcoin
While the Bitcoin price is moving sideways, investors are steadily reacting negatively to the performance. During the period of indecision, selling pressure is persistently building underneath the surface, suggesting growing uncertainty among investors.
According to the report from CryptoQuant, a leading on-chain data analytics platform, the selling pressure is being driven by major BTC players rather than retail holders. The constant distribution from key market players raises the possibility that underlying sentiment is more brittle than it seems.
CryptoQuant’s report began with the Bitcoin Spot Demand, which remains in deep contraction despite accelerating Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) and Strategy purchases. After examining the 30-day apparent demand, the platform highlighted that the chart is showing a positioning at -63,000 BTC, indicating that broader market selling pressure is still outweighing institutional accumulation.
At the same time, large Bitcoin investors or whales holding between 1,000 BTC and 10,000 BTC have turned net distributors. This wave of selling is indicated on the 1-year change in whale holdings, which has declined from +200,000 BTC to -188,000 BTC today. 
Currently, this is one of the most aggressive large-holder distribution cycles on record, spanning between the 2024 bull market peak and March 2026. As selling activity reaches this level, the trend is likely to influence the asset’s price, potentially causing a more decisive move lower.
The selling pressure from large holders has been accompanied by fading accumulations from mid-tier holders and dolphin investors.  Bitcoin mid-tier players holding between 100 BTC and 1,000 BTC are accumulating at a declining pace since November 2025.
During this period, dolphins have been the net accumulators on a 1-year basis. However, their holdings growth has collapsed from 1 million BTC in October 2025 to 429,000 BTC today, signaling that buying support from this group is fading quickly.
BTC Demand Is Dying In The US Markets
CryptoQuant has also covered the demand for BTC in the United States. On the US market, demand for the asset has weakened, with Coinbase Premium persistently trending in negative territory. Despite Bitcoin prices declining to the $65,000-$70,000 range, investors in the US have not re-entered the market at scale, a behavior that is consistent with the broader demand contraction observed across on-chain metrics.
Bitcoin may be seeing fading demand and continued sell-side activity, but CryptoQuant claims that a short-term price bounce toward the $71,500 to $81,200 is still likely if macroeconomic risks ease. These levels align with the Lower Band and Trader On-Chain Realized Price, respectively, which are important bear market resistance zones that might be put to the test if the US-Iran dispute lessens.

He noted that this is a historic moment for the network and XRP, as the altcoin gains new utility. 
XRP Makes History With ZK Privacy Transactions 
In an X post, Pumpius stated that history has been made with XRP, with the first-ever zero-knowledge (ZK) privacy transaction going live on the XRPL testnet. The pundit declared that this is about to change everything for XRP, signaling that it could boost the token’s adoption as institutional investors seek privacy. 
He noted that the DNA Protocol is responsible for these ZK privacy transactions on the Ledger. The protocol is said to have turned real-world data into a ZK proof, verified on-chain with zero sensitive information exposed. Pumpius added that banks, governments, and institutions can now confirm everything, including KYC, medical records, financials, and compliance, without ever seeing the actual data. 
Pumpius further remarked that the DNA protocol is the privacy layer the Ledger has been missing and that the “floodgates are opening,” with trillions of dollars set to flow into the altcoin The pundit declared that the XRPL has just become institutionally ready. It is worth noting that Ripple has also made moves to implement privacy features natively on the Ledger. 
These features include Permissioned Domains, Permissioned DEX, and Confidential Multi-Purpose Tokens (CMPTs), which enable institutions to select the network participants they want to transact with and protect their identities during transactions. Specifically, CMPTs hide the account balances and transaction amounts of network users. This is expected to onboard more institutions, especially as tokenization gains traction on the Ledger. 
Ripple Exec Explains What Decentralized Identity Entails
Crypto pundit John Squire drew attention to a video in which Ripple President Monica Long explained what decentralized identities entail and how Ripple aims to achieve them using zero-knowledge proofs. She explained that decentralized identities would enable individuals to take back control of their identities from web2 companies that profit from their data. 
Monica Long revealed that these decentralized identities would take the form of a transportable token that can be shared with anyone around the world. Users will be able to delegate access, enabling anyone to access this information as needed. 
John Squire noted that this means even one’s DNA can be tokenized as a private, portable token on the XRP Ledger using zero-knowledge proofs. He added that people would be able to prove their identities without revealing anything. He also signaled how this is bullish for the token as it would boost the token’s utility as individuals embrace privacy features. 
At the time of writing, the altcoin&#8217;s price is trading at around $1.31, down over 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Bloomberg Senior Commodities Strategist Mike McGlone joined former CoinRoutes CEO Dave Weisberger and macro strategist James Lavish for a detailed discussion. They explored ongoing debt pressures in the US, money printing, oil risks, and the role Bitcoin plays as markets face potential shifts and risks. 
Bitcoin Emerges As Hedge Amid Unstoppable Debt Crisis
During the podcast, James Lavish highlighted the growing global unease, noting that the World Uncertainty Index has reached a historic high above 105,000. This means it is now higher than levels seen during COVID, 9/11, the Iraq war, and the global financial crisis combined. 
Lavish explained that the US Treasury is facing a major financial burden this year, with about $9.7 trillion in debt set to mature. When combined with ongoing budget deficits of roughly $2 trillion, the total amount that needs refinancing rises to a staggering $12 trillion. He pointed out how sensitive this debt is to interest rates, noting that even a half-point increase would add about $100 billion to annual interest payments on the debt. 
Despite how bad this appears, he warned that “this train cannot be stopped.” The strategist suggested that the relentless, ongoing cycle of rising US debt and constant refinancing will likely continue due to limited options available to policymakers. He added that these limitations could leave officials relying heavily on monetary measures to manage the situation. 
Weisberger also shared his view, noting that despite the chaos and the surmounting debt crisis, the government will continue printing substantial amounts of money to manage the economic situation. With more money flowing into the market, it could affect the nominal value of assets priced in dollars, yen, or euros. 
Speaking on Bitcoin’s role during this critical period, Weisberger pointed out that BTC was created for economies affected by heavy debt and currency manipulation. His remarks align with the broader view that Bitcoin could serve as a hedge against inflation, a strategic reserve, and a store of value during a global financial crisis. 
The CoinRoutes CEO also noted that Bitcoin may have finally reached a price bottom at $60,000, referring to the crash from above $70,000 in February, when geopolitical tensions in the Middle East surged. 
A Cautious Outlook On Bitcoin’s Price Rally
Compared to his fellow panelist on the podcast, McGlone’s comments focused mostly on Bitcoin, oil prices, and the performance of other asset classes. He argued that the Bitcoin bull market has ended, while precious metals&#8217; performance appears to have slowed.
The Bloomberg Senior Strategist also warned that sharp spikes in oil prices could trigger a drop in demand, potentially leading to a global recession. He also noted that the S&amp;P 500 is currently overpriced and if it breaks down, Bitcoin and other risk assets could decline alongside it.
On the other hand, Weisberger’s overall outlook for Bitcoin was cautiously bearish. He noted that if Strategy had not been aggressively buying Bitcoin even during the bear market, the cryptocurrency might have fallen as low as $40,000-$50,000. He shared the same sentiment for Ethereum, noting that without Bitmine’s accumulation, its price could have crashed to $600.

Ripple Prime was formed after Ripple acquired Hidden Road for around $1.2 billion late last year and operates as the clearing and intermediation arm for exchange‑traded derivatives (ETD) and related financing activities. 
Reasons Behind Ripple Prime’s BBB Score 
Kroll’s analysis emphasizes that Ripple Prime is in a scaling phase. The company’s ETD platform, launched in 2024, and its fixed‑income repo activities — which reached meaningful scale in 2025 and are concentrated in short‑duration US Treasuries and agency securities — are central to the rating. 
The agency pointed to an expanded balance sheet over the past year and noted that Ripple Prime achieved profitability in 2025. That performance was supported by significant capital injections from its parent, Ripple Labs: roughly $500 million following the acquisition. 
Kroll observed that while Ripple Prime’s activities are more narrowly focused than some peers, management’s experience and a clear strategy to broaden the platform through new business lines and added hires underpin the rating.
A key factor in Kroll’s view is the parent‑company support Ripple provides. The report highlights Ripple’s capital resources — nearly $5.0 billion in cash as of the third quarter 2025, along with more than 40 billion units of XRP on the balance sheet — which offer a substantial, though largely unrealized, source of value. 
Kroll said that, should Ripple Prime issue debt and encounter regulatory or liquidity constraints that limited dividends from the operating company, Ripple would likely step in to provide financial support. That implicit backing was an important element in assigning the BBB grade.
Experts See A Turning Point
Kroll also examined the firm’s risk profile. Revenues at Ripple Prime are still concentrated in spread‑based financing tied to balance sheet size and interest rate dynamics, which makes earnings sensitive to market conditions. 
Nonetheless, Kroll expects margins at Ripple Prime to improve in 2026 as the balance sheet expands, aided by the additional capital infusion of about $500 million from Ripple and by operating leverage as the business grows. 
The rating agency anticipates that planned expansions into Delta1 products (total return swaps and synthetic equity financing for leveraged ETF providers) and equity prime brokerage could materially diversify revenue and bring profitability in line with similarly rated firms if execution proceeds as planned.
Market experts greeted the rating as a turning point in the perception of crypto native firms within traditional finance. Egrag Crypto, among others, interpreted Kroll’s BBB assignment as a sign that institutional trust in Ripple Prime is rising.

Coinbase: “Very Close To A Deal”, Despite Stablecoin Dispute
It’s all about the stablecoins. Whether and how exchanges can pay yield on stablecoin balances continues to be the bone of contention for CLARITY’s lawmakers, but according to Paul Grenwal, the long-standing dispute could be resolved as soon as this Friday.
Grenwal claimed in a Wednesday interview on Fox Business that the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act is “moving toward” a markup session in the U.S. Senate Banking Committee. He stressed the need to “finish the job” with cryptocurrencies that was started after the passage of the GENIUS Act last year.
This could later advance to a full floor vote, once senators finally settle the stablecoin yield dispute and formally put the markup on the calendar.
The Stablecoin Compromise
It is worth noting that Grenwal’s statement follows months of drama in which Coinbase derailed an earlier Senate markup by withdrawing support over provisions it said would amount to a “de facto ban” on tokenized equities, heavy DeFi restrictions, and a tilt in power toward the SEC. Bitcoinist covered the story back then.
If the SBC moves to markup this month, as Grewal suggests, the bill could see a floor vote and land on President Trump’s desk as early as this year.
Stablecoin rewards have become the pressure point between banks and crypto firms because banks fear deposit flight, while exchanges view yield‑bearing stablecoins as core to their business models and user growth.
The emerging compromise consists in no rewards for idle, parked stablecoin balances, but limited yields linked to “active” use such as spending or on‑chain transactions. Some big banks, including JPMorgan’s Jamie Dimon, appear willing to live with such a framework.
A successful compromise would end a year of committee delays and canceled markups, and could finally give exchanges a federal framework instead of “regulation by enforcement” through the SEC.
The Tension Between The Crypto Industry And The Regulators
Even if the bill passes in an agreeable way for both parties, there’s still a big split between the official narrative and what many in crypto fear it will really do.
Regulators and the administration are selling the CLARITY Act as the moment the U.S. finally becomes the global benchmark for digital‑asset rules: clear, predictable, and safe. CFTC chairman Michael Selig said in another interview with Fox Business this February that the pending U.S. crypto market‑structure bill would make the United States the “gold standard” for digital‑asset regulation.
However, builders and power crypto users continue asking whether that same law quietly locks in a bank and exchange‑centric model, with DeFi, tokenized markets, and true self‑custody pushed to the margins or offshore. This recent Reuters’ overview of the CLARITY Act emphasizes how the legislation will define who regulates which parts of the market and under what licensing regimes, reinforcing concerns that smaller or non‑custodial players could be squeezed.
Stablecoin yield surviving in “transaction‑linked” form would support exchange fees and interest income. But if talks collapse, markets may re‑price U.S. regulatory risk and rotate liquidity toward offshore venues.

According to reports tied to the company’s shareholder meeting, the South Korea-based exchange says it wants to spend the next stretch fixing its accounting and control systems before it tries to list.
Internal Error Raised Fresh Questions
The exchange’s most damaging recent episode came in February, when it mistakenly credited users with about 2,000 Bitcoin instead of 2,000 won. The mix-up was quickly reversed, and most of the money never left Bithumb’s internal ledger, but the scale of the error was hard to ignore.
It turned a routine systems failure into a public test of trust, and it arrived at a bad time for a company trying to convince regulators and investors that it is ready for the scrutiny that comes with a stock listing.
That mistake followed earlier pressure from South Korean authorities. Under CEO Lee Jae-won, Bithumb faced a six-month suspension and a $24 million fine tied to alleged anti-money-laundering breaches.
Shareholders have now backed Lee for another two-year term, even as the company keeps moving the IPO goal farther down the road. The exchange had once expected to list in 2025, but the new plan is to focus on preparation through 2027 before any filing process advances.
A Slower Road To The Market
Bithumb’s latest timeline fits a broader pattern of delay. CFO Jeong Sang-gyun told shareholders that the company is strengthening its accounting policies and internal controls after bringing in Samjong KPMG as an IPO adviser.
That language points to work that usually happens before a listing window opens, not after a target year has already passed. The change in pace also shows how much the exchange’s public debut now depends on proving basic governance, not just market demand.
The exchange is not the only one moving through the South Korean market with listing plans in view. Dunamu, the operator of Upbit, is also said to be preparing for an IPO after a share swap with Naver Financial, with September mentioned as a possible timing point.

One of the major news stories that has contributed to this decline was the attack by the United States on Iranian armed forces. Since war has negatively affected the broader financial markets, the Bitcoin price was not left out. And even now, when the digital asset seems to be forming something akin to a bottom, there are still expectations that the price will continue to crash.
Bitcoin ABC Wave Says The Last Drop Has Not Happened
The Bitcoin price continues to struggle after bears had initially broken the support at $70,000, and the resulting weakness has threatened further downtrend. This move aligns with crypto analyst Minga’s prediction that the digital asset was actually stuck in an ABC wave trend.
In the analysis, which was shared on the X (formerly Twitter) platform, the analyst explained that Bitcoin was actually sticking to this trend. Despite the fact that historical movements do not always play out the same way, there is still enough possibility for investors to be cautious.
Deep-diving into the wave pattern, the analyst’s chart shows that the start of the wave began with the price above $100,000. As the price had declined, so did the wave continue to play out. The latest of these now is the fact that the Bitcoin price has now entered the final leg of the wave pattern and this is the most bearish part.
The last wave, Wave C, is the wave that usually leads to the most decline. Here, it is expected to trigger an almost 50% decline in the digital asset’s price. Going by historical performance, following this trend would see the Bitcoin price eventually fall below $40,000.
As for the end of this decline, the analyst places the bottom of the decline somewhere around $34,000. While there is some wiggle room for this, it is still highly likely that the price goes this low. Thus, it is important to factor such a move into the performance of Bitcoin.
As for the major support levels through all of these, the analyst highlighted some support just below $50,000. More specifically, support lies at $49,577 if the price begins to decline. Beneath this level, though, there is hardly any support left for the cryptocurrency.

Fed Governor Calls For Stablecoin Clarity
On Tuesday, Fed Governor Michael Barr discussed the importance of stablecoin regulations, noting that landmark legislation, the Guiding and Establishing Innovation for US Stablecoins (GENIUS) Act, provides “some needed clarity” to issuers about how they can fit into the regulatory framework.
During a Federalist Society event, Barr listed main use cases for tokens pegged to the US dollar, including facilitating crypto trading and as a store of value in some foreign jurisdictions. He also highlighted that they can be used to offer reduced remittance costs, expedite trade finance processing, and assist firms in managing their treasury functions.
However, the Fed Governor emphasized that “a great deal” of the clarity will “depend on how federal and state regulators implement the statute.” Therefore, regulators still need to address multiple risks, he warned, explaining that caution is warranted due to “a long and painful history of private money created with insufficient safeguards.”
Key issues include regulation of reserve assets, the potential for regulatory arbitrage, the scope of permissible activities for stablecoin issuers beyond issuance, appropriate capital and liquidity requirements, anti-money-laundering controls, and consumer protection requirements.
The federal regulator called for regulatory and technological measures to ensure that stablecoins are not used for illicit activity, affirming that “tight control over reserve assets, coupled with supervision, capital and liquidity requirements, and other measures, could enhance the stability of stablecoins and make them more viable payment instruments.”
His remarks come as the US Treasury Department seeks public feedback on the GENIUS Act Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) concerning state-level regulatory regimes, issued on April 1.
Final Text On Yield Compromise Delayed
Barr’s warning also follows the clash between the crypto and banking industries over stablecoin-related language that is set to be included in the crypto market structure bill, also known as the CLARITY Act, which was expected to be released as soon as this week but might be delayed until later in the month.
In a shift from last week’s guidance, the bill’s final text of the compromise between industry stakeholders and the Senate Banking Committee is no longer expected to be published this week, a spokesperson for Senator Thom Tillis’s office told Crypto In America on Wednesday.
A source familiar with the matter stated that the delay reflects concerns that releasing the text ahead of a markup, now expected in the back half of the month, could give opponents an opening to slow the bill’s progress.
Notably, the two parties have been fighting over the potential prohibition of yield and rewards on stablecoin balances, stalling the crypto bill for over two months. Last week, the crypto industry got its first look at the latest version of the CLARITY Act, set to address the long-standing dispute.
As reported by Bitconinist, the proposal seemingly 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 aimed to limit workarounds and prohibit any activity “economically or functionally equivalent” to interest, addressing concerns from the banking industry side, but facing renewed backlash from crypto players like Coinbase.
According to the Wednesday report, the update follows ongoing talks between crypto and banking groups due to dissatisfaction with the earlier draft agreed upon by Tillis, Senator Angela Alsobrooks, and the White House.

The NPRM is the Treasury’s initial regulatory proposal to give effect to the statute’s requirements and solicits public comment on how the department intends to apply the law.
GENIUS Act’s Proposed Rules
Under the GENIUS Act — formally titled the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins Act — Treasury is charged with setting out, through notice-and-comment rulemaking, high-level principles for assessing whether a state regulatory regime is “substantially similar” to the federal framework. 
The department’s 87-page proposed rule explains how it expects federal and state authorities to interact under the new regime and identifies matters on which Treasury seeks input from stakeholders.
Treasury’s proposal signals that it anticipates states will look to federal guidance, including standards the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) has proposed, when deciding how prescriptive their own rules should be. 
The NPRM cites the OCC’s approach, which the OCC says is intended to be flexible and calibrated to the nature, scope, and risks posed by a permitted payment stablecoin issuer’s activities. 
Treasury’s draft leaves room for states to adopt principles-based requirements, indicating that state regulators will have discretion to design standards for issuers who qualify under a state regime.
The ultimate effects will depend on the specific content of each state’s regulatory regime, which the proposal anticipates could vary widely because the GENIUS Act grants states discretion in implementing their own frameworks.
Treasury Draft Sets Timeline
The draft rule also sets out the transition timeline and market consequences contemplated by the statute. Once the GENIUS Act takes effect, entities will be barred from issuing payment stablecoins in the United States unless they are authorized as permitted payment stablecoin issuers. 
In addition, the statute makes it unlawful, beginning July 18, 2028, for digital asset service providers to offer or sell unlicensed stablecoins to persons located in the United States. 
To preserve a state-option pathway for smaller issuers, the law allows a state to license payment stablecoin issuers with a consolidated total outstanding issuance of no more than $10 billion, but only if the state certifies that its regulatory regime is substantially similar to the federal framework.
Taken together, the department is seeking public input on the proposal’s details as it moves toward finalizing rules intended to implement the GENIUS Act’s structure for supervision, licensing, and consumer protections in the stablecoin market.

Find Out What The On-Chain Data Is Showing</title><description><![CDATA[Chainlink has been struggling. The altcoin market is brutal. And quietly, the largest players in the market appear to have started paying attention to LINK in a way they are not paying attention to everything else.
Analyst Darkfost has identified a pattern that stands out against one of the most hostile environments for altcoins in recent memory. While the broader sector continues to deteriorate — more than 40% of altcoins at or near all-time lows, liquidity draining across the board — targeted activity from large players is beginning to surface on specific tokens. Chainlink is one of them.
The methodology Darkfost applies is straightforward and battle-tested: track where the largest holders are moving their coins, and watch whether those movements point toward accumulation or distribution. When whales begin withdrawing assets from exchanges at scale, it signals a specific behavioral shift — coins moving off the trading venue, into private custody, away from the available sell-side pool. That behavior does not happen by accident. It happens when large players have reached a conclusion about an asset that the broader market has not yet reached.
The altcoin market is not rewarding patience right now. Something in the LINK on-chain data suggests certain participants believe that is about to change.
The Data Has Two Peak Days and a Rising Average
Darkfost&#8217;s on-chain breakdown gives the whale signal its specific form. Among the Top 10 daily outflow transactions on Binance, two days have recorded peak withdrawals exceeding 8,000 LINK in a single session — standout events in a chart that had been relatively quiet. More telling than the peaks, however, is what has happened to the baseline.
Since mid-February, the monthly average of Top 10 outflows has risen from approximately 2,000 LINK per day to nearly 2,600 — a 30% increase in the sustained activity of the largest outgoing transactions. Peaks can be anomalies. A rising average is a trend.
In the context of an altcoin market where generalized weakness has become the default condition, that trend carries a specific implication. Large players are not withdrawing LINK from Binance because they intend to sell it elsewhere. Withdrawals to off-exchange storage mean the opposite: coins removed from the sell-side pool, held in private custody, unavailable for immediate distribution. That behavior, sustained over weeks, is the behavioral signature of accumulation.
Darkfost&#8217;s caution is precise and deserves to be preserved rather than minimized. Previous accumulation episodes during this correction — some more pronounced than the current one — failed to break the downtrend. The whale signal on Chainlink is real and measurable. Whether it is sufficient to change the market&#8217;s direction is a question the coming weeks will answer.
The signal is there. The confirmation is not yet.
Chainlink Tests Lows as Trend Structure Weakens
Chainlink is trading near the lower end of its multi-year range, with price hovering around the $9 level after failing to sustain multiple recovery attempts. The chart shows a clear sequence of lower highs since the 2024 peak, confirming a persistent downtrend that has gradually eroded bullish structure.
Price is now positioned below the 50-week and 100-week moving averages, both of which have turned downward and are acting as dynamic resistance. This alignment reinforces the idea that momentum remains firmly against bulls. The 200-week moving average, slightly above current levels, is being tested as a potential support zone — a level that historically carries structural significance. A sustained break below it would likely shift the long-term outlook decisively bearish.
Volume patterns add context. The sharp spikes during sell-offs suggest periods of aggressive distribution, while recent rebounds have occurred on relatively weaker volume, indicating limited conviction from buyers. This imbalance typically precedes either prolonged consolidation or another leg lower.
Despite the weak structure, the current zone is not irrelevant. Historically, similar levels have attracted accumulation phases. The key question is whether demand reappears with strength, or if this range becomes a temporary pause before continuation to the downside.

The company describes these features as the first native digital-asset capabilities built directly into a treasury management system, designed to let corporate finance teams treat crypto holdings the same way they do cash.
Ripple’s New Treasury Features
According to Ripple, the newly disclosed update gives finance and treasury teams a single, unified view of liquidity by aggregating balances from bank accounts, custody providers, and on-chain wallets. 
That consolidated dashboard provides real-time visibility across both fiat and digital assets, eliminating the need for separate systems, manual reconciliation, and time-consuming data consolidation. 
Family offices and corporate treasury groups can now view, hold, receive, and manage fiat and digital liquidity held at banks and custodians within one platform, Ripple said.
Renaat Ver Eecke, Senior Vice President of Ripple Treasury, framed the launch as an answer to a changed reality at the CFO level. “Digital assets have arrived at the CFO’s desk, and the question has shifted from whether to engage to how to do so advantageously without disrupting existing operations,” he said. 
Ver Eecke added that Ripple Treasury provides “a trusted place to hold and manage digital and fiat assets — with no separate interface, no new workflows, and no need to navigate custody, wallets, or exchanges on their own,” calling it an unprecedented digital solution for corporate treasuries.
Unified Treasury And Digital Asset Accounts
Ripple said the new features include several technical functions aimed at improving accounting accuracy and auditability. According to the company, Digital Asset Accounts will display fiat valuations in real time using live exchange rates sourced from market data providers. 
They will also record token amounts to reflect on‑chain notional and reduce rounding discrepancies, and they will automatically log each transaction with the native notional, its fiat equivalent, and the market price at the time of the event to provide an audit trail.
On the other hand, the firm described Unified Treasury as a consolidated reporting interface that aggregates positions held across multiple custodians and banks via its ClearConnect connectivity layer — the same integration layer Ripple uses for bank links. 
The company said the feature supports direct application programming interface (API) connections to several digital‑asset providers, with onboarding that Ripple reports can be completed in minutes. 
Ripple also disclosed that both capabilities are designed to be adopted on an organization’s own timeline and to integrate without disrupting existing approval processes, audit trails, or compliance controls.
Looking ahead, future expansions will connect with Ripple’s existing products for cross-border and intercompany settlement and add features such as 24/7 yield on idle cash via overnight repo, powered by stablecoins and other digital assets.

Find Out Why</title><description><![CDATA[XRP is struggling to push above current levels. The market is uncertain. And the chart is not offering any comfort — three moving averages sit above the current price, each one a layer of resistance the market has not found the strength to challenge.
A CryptoQuant report tracking XRP&#8217;s technical structure on Binance has produced a reading that leaves little room for interpretation. The 30-day moving average stands at approximately $1.40. The 90-day moving average sits near $1.64. The 200-day moving average is at $2.06. The current price is below all three — not approaching them, not testing them, but trading beneath each one simultaneously across the short, medium, and long-term timeframes.
That alignment has a name in technical analysis. It is a bearish stack — a configuration in which every major trend reference the market uses to orient itself is pointing in the same direction. Sellers are in control across every timeframe. Buyers have not demonstrated the sustained demand required to reclaim even the nearest average.
The first threshold that matters is $1.40. Not because reclaiming it resolves the situation — it does not — but because without it, the medium and long-term averages above remain irrelevant. The recovery, if it comes, must start there.
XRP Cannot Fix Its Own Chart. It Needs Bitcoin to Help.
The report adds a dimension to the technical picture that the moving average structure alone cannot capture. XRP&#8217;s correlation with Bitcoin currently stands at approximately 0.87 — a reading that describes near-total directional alignment between the two assets. XRP is not trading on its own fundamentals, its own on-chain developments, or its own demand dynamics in any meaningful independent sense. It is trading as a high-beta expression of wherever Bitcoin goes next.
That dependency cuts both ways, and the report names both directions honestly. If Bitcoin continues to struggle — capped below $70,000, under whale selling pressure, lacking upside momentum — that weakness will transmit directly to XRP, adding a second layer of downward force on top of an already bearish technical structure. If Bitcoin stages a sustained rally, that momentum will carry XRP with it, potentially providing the external catalyst the chart cannot generate internally.
The verdict the report delivers is unambiguous. XRP remains under clear technical pressure. The downtrend is continuing. Sellers are in control across every timeframe. Nothing in the current data suggests that the condition is about to change on its own.
The one number that changes the conversation is $1.40. Reclaiming the 30-day moving average does not end the downtrend. It signals, for the first time, that the momentum behind it may be slowing — and that is the only first step available from here.
XRP Tests Breakdown Zone as Long-Term Structure Weakens
On the weekly timeframe, XRP is now trading near $1.35 after a sharp rejection from the $3.00–$3.50 region, confirming a decisive loss of bullish momentum. The chart shows a clear transition from expansion to distribution, followed by a breakdown that has brought price back into a historically significant range.
Price is currently sitting below the 50-week moving average, which has started to slope downward, signaling weakening short-term structure. The 100-week moving average is also above the current price and flattening, while the 200-week moving average remains lower but is now the next key support to monitor. This alignment reflects a market that is no longer trending upward and is instead attempting to find a new equilibrium.
The rejection from the recent highs was accompanied by increased volume, suggesting strong participation during the distribution phase. In contrast, the current consolidation is occurring with relatively lower volume, indicating reduced conviction from both buyers and sellers.
Importantly, XRP is now testing a zone that previously acted as resistance during 2021–2022 and later flipped into support. Whether this level holds will likely determine the medium-term direction. A sustained break below could open the path for a deeper retrace, while stabilization here may form the basis for a longer accumulation phase.

The proposal also gives the city a hard line on a problem officials say has already led to fraud complaints, money laundering concerns, and little practical recourse for users who lose money.
Council Vote Puts Ban On Track
The ordinance was introduced on March 17 by Mayor Melinda E. Barrett and cleared an initial City Council vote 11-0, putting it on the council’s agenda for further review.
According to the city’s agenda, the measure would amend local code to prohibit cryptocurrency ATMs altogether. City officials said they see the lack of state and federal rules as a reason for local action.
The move places Haverhill in a growing group of US communities taking aim at crypto kiosks after reports of scams and other illegal activity.
In Minnesota, a lawmaker introduced a bill in February that could ban crypto kiosks, building on a 2024 law that already imposed limits on ATM operators.
Haverhill’s proposal does not stand alone; it fits a pattern that has been spreading city by city and state by state.
Crypto ATMs are often marketed as a simple way to buy digital assets, but local officials have increasingly treated them as a weak point in consumer protection.
In Haverhill’s case, the city said users may have little ability to recover funds once a transaction is complete. That concern was central to the proposed ordinance, which framed the machines as a risk to residents rather than a convenience for them.
Bitcoin Depot Faces Rising Pressure
The proposed ban also lands at a rough time for Bitcoin Depot, one of the largest crypto ATM operators in the US. The company’s stock has fallen more than 90% over the past six months and was trading at $2.06 on Nasdaq on Tuesday, according to the report.
Haverhill-area data from CoinATMRadar and Bitcoin Depot pointed to eight or more machines in the local area.
Bitcoin Depot has been dealing with pressure on several fronts. Connecticut banking regulators issued a temporary cease-and-desist order in March, which effectively suspended its money transmission license.
Authorities in Iowa and Massachusetts have also sued the company, accusing it of helping facilitate crypto scams.

Hong Kong Has Delayed Its Initial Batch Of Stablecoin Licenses
As reported by Wu Blockchain, citing coverage from Caixin, Hong Kong has postponed the issuance of its first stablecoin approvals, meaning that applicants would be waiting for longer before they can receive a license.
Hong Kong first passed its stablecoin bill in August 2025, making it so that organizations looking to issue stablecoins in the Chinese city&#8217;s jurisdiction will need to acquire approval from the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA).
Following the rollout of the new rules, HKMA started receiving applications from big names like Standard Chartered in its Joint Venture (JV) and HSBC. The first batch of approvals was expected to go out by the end of March, but now April has begun, and no licenses have been handed out at all.
&#8220;Hong Kong is concerned that stablecoins may be used for money laundering and may therefore implement stricter KYC regulations,&#8221; noted Wu Blockchain. The delay has thrown a wrench in the plans of 36 applicants. Earlier, mainland Chinese regulators cracked down on the sector, stating that fiat-tied cryptocurrencies don&#8217;t qualify as legal tender, as they fail to meet regulatory requirements and pose a risk of being used for illegal activities.
Despite the mainland&#8217;s stance, however, Hong Kong still moved forward with its stablecoin plans, announcing in February that a &#8220;very small number&#8221; of issuer licenses would be handed out in March. With that plan not coming to fruition, it now remains to be seen when the HKMA will be able to advance the city&#8217;s stablecoin ambitions.
Elsewhere in Asia, South Korea has also seen its stablecoin plans stall, with the Bank of Korea (BoK) arguing for bank-majority stablecoins, while the Financial Services Commission (FCS) advocates for laxer rules.
Meanwhile, Japan took ahead of its neighbors with the launch of its first yen-backed coin last year. The nation could also see its first bank-backed stablecoin this year, with Shinsei Trust and Banking planning on a Q2 2026 launch.
Over in the United States, President Donald Trump signed into law the GENIUS Act last year, providing a formal framework for stablecoins. Overall, this part of the cryptocurrency sector has seen significant global regulatory momentum over the past year, so it&#8217;s not surprising to see that its market cap has held up relatively well despite the recent market downturn.
As the chart from DefiLlama shows, the market cap of the fiat-tied tokens has mostly moved sideways in recent months, with its value currently sitting at $316 billion, a new all-time high (ATH).
Bitcoin Price
At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading around $68,700, down over 4% in the last week.

Notably, technical analysis from crypto analyst CasiTrades warned about a bearish outlook on the token, with the outlook that there&#8217;s still a multi-stage decline in play, which could cause the price of XRP to fall to as low as $0.87.
Weak Bounces Signal Sellers Still In Control
CasiTrades flagged the character of recent relief moves as a bearish signal. According to the analysis, XRP’s recent price behavior is showing clear signs of exhaustion on the upside. This is because every bounce has been cut short around the 0.382 Fibonacci retracement level, which is a clear indication that sellers are still in control of the price action.
This repeated rejection at shallow retracement levels is a reflection of another broader issue the XRP price is currently facing: buyers are not stepping in with enough strength to change momentum. Instead, each bounce is being sold into quickly, keeping the altcoin locked in a downward structure.
The structure outlined in the analysis follows a clear Elliott Wave breakdown, with XRP playing out a Wave 3 move to the downside. In the context of Elliot Waves, Wave 3 is the most intense part of both bullish and bearish wave cycles.
Based on this count, XRP is projected to drop to as low as $1.09 during Wave 3, with intermediate subwave targets around $1.06. These levels are based on previous liquidity zones and Fibonacci retracements at 0.786 on a larger cycle and 1.618 on a lower cycle. 
A temporary relief bounce is expected afterward, which would create the next impulse Wave 4. Wave 4 is expected to push the XRP price back into the $1.22 to $1.31 range. However, this move is going to be a brief correction against Wave 3, and the broader bearish trend will still be in place.
Sub-$1 Scenario Comes Into Focus
After Wave 4 comes Wave 5, which is a continuation impulse wave in Elliott Wave theory. The most notable part of the forecast lies in how XRP ends up in Wave 5, which is the final leg of the structure. After the projected relief bounce, the analyst predicted a continuation lower toward a major macro support zone around $0.87. This price target is based on the 0.854 Fib retracement on the larger cycle.
Interestingly, the chart above shows that these five impulse wave counts are subwaves of a larger Wave 2 (labeled in green in the chart above), which is also a corrective wave in the Elliott Waves Theory. A bottom around $0.87 is not the end, as the next move would be the larger Wave 3, which is predicted to take the XRP price back above $2.

Here’s what You Should Know</title><description><![CDATA[Bitcoin treasury companies have long relied on relentless accumulation of BTC to strengthen corporate balance sheets. But a recent pause in both Bitcoin purchases and equity sales raises an urgent question: is this a temporary slowdown, or an early signal of broader structural strain for corporate Bitcoin treasury strategies?
Strategy Breaks Bitcoin Purchase Pattern
For the first time since December 2025, Strategy reported no Bitcoin purchases during the week of March 23 to March 29, 2026. A filing submitted to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) confirmed this break in routine, which also included no share issuance through its at-the-market (ATM) program—the primary mechanism used to fund Bitcoin accumulation. Before the pause, Strategy’s last purchase was 1,031 BTC between March 16 and March 22, 2026, reflecting a sustained weekly acquisition strategy.
Moreover, Executive Chairman Michael Saylor has not publicly explained the pause, a notable silence given his historically regular weekly updates. This combination of halted buying and silence has fueled discussions on whether the era of aggressive corporate Bitcoin accumulation may be under pressure.
BTC Treasury Companies Under Pressure: Market Context
Strategy’s stock, trading at $124.80 at the time of reporting, has declined more than 60% over the past six months, while Bitcoin itself was priced at $67,197, down over 18% across 12 months. These figures illustrate a tightening environment for companies relying on both equity and digital assets to support treasury strategies.
Other firms demonstrate divergent approaches. MARA Holdings sold 15,133 BTC, valued at roughly $1.1 billion, to reduce convertible debt, while Canaan increased holdings by 1,793 BTC and 3,952 ETH while expanding mining operations in Texas. Additional insight comes from Nakamoto Inc., which sold approximately 284 BTC for $20 million in March 2026, below its year-end 2025 weighted valuation of $87,519 per coin. This sale followed a $166.2 million loss from changes in the fair value of its digital assets and reflects a broader recalibration among non-Strategy treasury firms. Nakamoto indicated that proceeds would fund a US dollar operating reserve to support operations and strategic initiatives.
Additional disclosures in the Strategy’s filings provide context on corporate obligations that may influence capital decisions. A shareholder lawsuit filed by David Dodge in July 2025 over preferred stock amendments was dismissed in March 2026, with Strategy agreeing to seek shareholder ratification and cover $550,000 in legal fees.
The combination of halted Bitcoin purchases, no share issuance, declining stock and Bitcoin prices, and similar moves by other treasury firms illustrates a period of recalibration across the sector. Strategy now holds roughly 76% of all BTC owned by public treasury companies, while most others have added minimal holdings in recent weeks. Whether this moment marks a temporary pause or the beginning of the end for Bitcoin treasury companies remains uncertain, but the current data underscores the growing pressures on firms pursuing this once-dominant strategy.

Just as Bitcoin’s price struggles to regain stability, the underlying sentiment in BTC is telling a more nuanced story. Even after several weeks of demonstrating bearish action toward Bitcoin, large investors or whales are still betting against the flagship cryptocurrency asset. 
Amid heightened price swings, activity from large holders of Bitcoin has noticeably positioned on the short side, signaling growing caution in the market. Joao Wedson, a market expert and founder of the Alphractal platform, outlined this development on X following his analysis of the Bitcoin Whale Vs Retail Delta metric. 
These investors continue to maintain a bearish stance, with many still opening more short positions as BTC keels trading within a tight range. Given the influence of whales on the market, this trend is one that demands attention, as it could reshape the asset’s next direction.
Looking at the chart, it is clear that large holders are increasingly positioning in shorts while retail investors are doing the opposite. This divergence signals changing sentiment where big investors are expecting a decline in price and retail holders are betting on a potential bounce in the short term. 
According to Wedson, retailers are chasing an infinite upside, but whales are becoming more cautious about Bitcoin and its near-term trajectory. As the divergence expands, this triggers speculation of whether the trend might precede increased volatility or shift the trajectory of BTC.
BTC Whales Are Taking A Break From Selling
On cryptocurrency exchanges, whale activity appears to be undergoing a notable shift. In a report from CryptoQuant’s verified author Darkfost, it was revealed that whale selling activity is cooling down on Binance, the leading trading platform, suggesting that large investors on the platform are choosing to hold during volatile conditions.

According to Darkfost, whales became more active on the platform as BTC slowly moves closer to the $60,000 level. This slowdown in selling pressure comes after multiple transfers of large portions of BTC into the Binance exchange.
Their activity peaked on February 4, when more than 11,800 BTC were sent to the platform in a single day. By the end of February, the coins moved into the platform per day increased from around 1,000 BTC to nearly 4,000 BTC, which reflects a more pronounced distribution phase from large holders.
Nonetheless, since the wave of transfers in February, the situation seems to have flipped significantly. Whale activity has declined notably, with the 30-day moving average now sitting around 1,600 BTC sent to Binance per day. The decrease in whale deposits indicates that large players are adopting a wait-and-see approach in the current uncertain market environment.

Despite the minor gain, the cryptocurrency remains in a broader bear market, and as of today, its price is still in the red and could continue to decline if momentum does not improve. A major driver behind BTC’s weakness is the recent outflows from its Spot Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs). Even as institutional demand declines, the market remains under bearish pressure and faces heightened volatility amid ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. 
Bitcoin Price Crash Continues As ETFs Record Outflows
Since debuting in 2024, Spot Bitcoin ETFs have played a significant role in driving BTC prices, with the volume and consistency of net daily flows often influencing the market’s direction. When these ETFs record major outflows, it typically suggests that institutional investors are reducing their exposure, likely due to profit-taking, risk management, or shifting market sentiment. Regardless of the reason, the reduced demand tends to place downward pressure on the Bitcoin price.
Notably, data from SoSoValue indicates that Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded more outflows than inflows last week, a trend that has noticeably affected prices. On March 18 and 20, these ETFs saw total outflows of $305 million, followed by a modest influx of capital the next day. 
The most recent outflows, which appear to be contributing to Bitcoin’s ongoing downtrend, occurred on March 26 and 27. On Thursday, withdrawals from Spot Bitcoin ETFs reached $171.22 million, further exacerbated by an additional $225.48 million outflow the following day. 
According to SoSoValue, the bulk of these outflows came from BlackRock’s IBIT, which alone saw $41.92 million exit on Thursday and a staggering $201.5 million outflow on Friday. Other funds, including Fidelity&#8217;s FBTC and Grayscale’s GBTC, also recorded outflows during the same period. 
As of now, Spot Bitcoin ETFs have returned to net positive territory, with cumulative inflows totaling $56.12 billion after ending its two-day outflow streak and receiving over $187 million over the last two days. Despite renewed demand, Bitcoin&#8217;s price is down, recording a year-to-date decline of roughly 40%. The cryptocurrency is also trading below the $70,000 level, hovering just above $68,000, at the time of writing. 
Other Factors Influencing Price
In addition to the earlier decline in ETF demand, ongoing geopolitical tensions appear to be significantly influencing investor sentiment, further pressuring BTC’s price. The latest update regarding the US-Iran war reveals that no formal peace agreement has yet been reached, even as President Donald Trump’s April 6 deadline to resume strikes on Iran’s energy infrastructure approaches rapidly. 
As of now, Market watchers continue to monitor changes in oil prices, ETF inflows, and any diplomatic developments that could impact the prices of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

Analyst Shares Forecast</title><description><![CDATA[XRP closed Q1 2026 with a 27.1% decline from its quarter open, extending a correction that has now erased more than 60% from the token&#8217;s July 2025 high of $3.65.  The current structure now leaves the XRP price at an important decision point heading into Q2, where the next move could show whether this is a pause before recovery or part of a deeper correction below $1 in the new quarter. A recent technical analysis shared on X lays out both possibilities, but the tone says caution is the dominant theme for now.
Q1 Played Out As Expected. Here&#8217;s What The Analyst Got Right
Going into Q1, the analyst had flagged that XRP&#8217;s correction in 2025 was not yet complete and that one more low was likely before the formation of any sustainable rally. That forecast proved accurate. XRP dipped below $1.20 in early February, precisely within the support zone the analyst had identified. The dip eventually bottomed around $1.16 on February 6 before a recovery of about 55% from that low in the same month.
The move, however, did not translate into a full trend reversal, and the XRP price struggled throughout March. Price action across the weekly structure still reflects a market struggling to reclaim strength. The rebound failed to push into higher resistance zones above $1.5. This bearish price action eventually ended up with a negative 2.79% close in March, which is the sixth consecutive month of bearish closes.

A Temporary Bounce In Q2, But Not A Full Bullish Reversal
As it stands, the XRP price is now sitting at an important decision point, and the analyst is distinguishing between two scenarios heading into Q2. The primary focus is on whether it can sustain a corrective bounce, which is labeled as a &#8220;B wave&#8221; based on the Elliott Wave theory, back to the $1.76 to $2.86 resistance band.
According to the analysis, any meaningful recovery in Q2 would need to push decisively into this region. A move above $2 would begin to validate the idea of a broader rally. This prediction is based on the 50% Fibonacci extension at $2.03380 and the 61.8% level at $2.34157, both on the weekly chart.
The current expectation leans toward a corrective bounce rather than a full breakout. A move higher in April or early Q2 is considered possible, especially since a similar bounce already occurred earlier in the year.
However, the structure of that bounce matters more than the bounce itself. If the price action forms a three-wave move upward, it would likely confirm a B-wave scenario, meaning the rally is corrective in nature and not the start of a new bullish cycle.
In that case, the XRP price could still be setting up for another leg down (a C wave), which may unfold later in Q2 or extend into Q3.

An interesting part of this development is the trigger behind the decline in supply on the Coinbase platform.
Coinbase Sees Declining XRP Supply
Recent news surrounding Coinbase is garnering significant attention in the broader cryptocurrency space, which appears to have affected XRP holders on the leading American-based crypto exchange. As a result, there has now been a sharp decline in supply on the platform.
Crypto enthusiast and advocate Diana on X shared that supply has declined on the exchange over the controversial CLARITY Act, effectively staging a boycott that is tightening liquidity. Amid a growing wave of holder resistance, this change highlights growing tensions between the XRP community and regulatory initiatives.
As of late March 2026, the altcoin’s balance on Coinbase has dropped to about 101.86 million XRP after a boycott. Historically, these kinds of behavior have influenced price movement in the upcoming weeks or months, making it a crucial moment for the token and its short-term trajectory.
As the development swells across the space, some analysts are claiming that the supply plunged by almost 90% in just a few months. This trend has been attributed to 2 major issues currently taking place in the crypto market that have left investors speechless. One of the issues is that Coinbase is allegedly blocking the CLARITY Act by rejecting bill drafts in two separate scenarios. The other is the leaked claims that Coinbase requested millions of dollars from Ripple Labs to list XRP back in 2019. 
Diana highlighted that recent 30-day snapshots point to net outflows, ranging from around 20 million to 95 million XRP. What this means is that holders are pulling their coins off Coinbase and moving them to self-custody or other exchanges. If this withdrawal trend persists, Coinbase might end up holding one of the lowest XRP reserve levels the company has seen in years. Furthermore, Diana stated that the trend could lead to a supply shock if buying pressure comes back.
How High Can The Altcoin Go
With the market being highly volatile, many investors find XRP’s outlook unclear. However, Don Digital Finance has delved into the conversation, offering key insights on the altcoin’s path and how high it can actually go in this cycle.
Starting off, the expert highlighted Standard Chartered’s prediction, which claims that the altcoin could be valued at $10.40 by 2027. Some models have predicted an $8 value this year, while others forecast XRP to reach as high as $40 and beyond in the long run.
A $40+ valuation implies a $2 trillion market cap for the altcoin, and the expert declares that this is where real institutional adoption will begin. An $100 valuation is not completely off the table, but it will take the cryptocurrency to become a global asset alongside a crypto move to hit this level.
In the meantime, the most realistic price level for the token is somewhere around $8 to $40 this cycle. At this point, the conservative view sits around the $5 to $15 range, but the expert’s main target for this cycle is $28.

This is expected to unlock up $100 billion in idle capital as investors seek yield from their holdings. 
Native XRP Lending Plans To Unlock $100 Billion In Idle Capital
In an X post, Diana stated that Evernorth is officially launching XRP lending on the XRPL, which would unlock $100 billion in capital. The treasury firm plans to bring native lending on the Ledger through the proposed XLS-66 amendment. She added that there are already 473 million of the altcoin in the treasury and that there is a vision to unlock up to $100 billion in dormant capital through yield-generating activity. 
Further commenting on what this native lending entails, Diana noted that it is built directly into the Ledger and will feature single-asset vaults, fixed-term and fixed-rate loans, automated on-chain repayments through smart contracts, and zero-knowledge proofs for confidentiality. Furthermore, this native lending feature eliminates the need to bridge, wrap XRP, or face custody risks just to earn yield on one’s holdings. 
Diana highlighted how this could draw more institutional investors as they can finally deploy liquidity without leaving the Ledger or relying on external smart contracts. The pundit noted that XLS-66 is not yet live and is currently in the validator voting phase. The proposed amendment needs an 80% supermajority vote to get activated. However, this provides insight into what lies ahead for the the Ledger, with yield on the horizon. 
It is worth noting that at the moment, investors have had to bridge their assets to other networks, such as the Flare network. Last year, Flare launched earnXRP, which is the first fully on-chain yield product denominated in the altcoin.
Why It Matters To Earn Yield Natively On The Ledger
Evernorth Chief Business Officer Sagar explained that earning yield on the Ledger rather than bridging to other networks matters because bridging can trigger a taxable event in most jurisdictions. He also highlighted the risk of trusting “unproven” smart contracts on other networks with hundreds of millions of dollars at stake. On the other hand, the XLS-66 protocol relies on the Ledger’s security, and with native lending, there is no wrapping or new risk surface. 
As such, he is confident that institutional investors will be more willing to participate once native lending is activated. He also remarked that he is excited about this feature because lending makes the whole greater than the sum of its parts, including XRP payments, which are currently carried out on the Ledger. 
At the time of writing, the altcoin&#8217;s price is trading at around $1.34, up in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

The transaction, first announced in September and closed late Tuesday, values the business at about $1.2 billion and included a $50 million strategic investment from institutional backers.
CoinShares’ CEO Urges Patience After 25% Slide
The listing, however, got off to a rocky start. On its first session on the Nasdaq, CoinShares’ shares plunged roughly 25%, trading just below $8.30 at the time of writing, according to Yahoo Finance data. 
The sharp sell‑off reflects broader turbulence in digital‑asset stocks and follows months of heightened volatility tied to geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and rising oil prices. 
Major crypto tokens such as Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) have struggled to mount sustainable rallies during the same period, putting additional pressure on firms focused on crypto products.
CoinShares CEO Jean‑Marie Mognetti pushed back against reading too much into the market’s initial reaction. Speaking to Barron’s, he said the company’s US listing was driven by readiness rather than market convenience. 
“We are not listing because the market is easy. We are listing because the business is ready, and that’s much more important,” Mognetti said, stressing the company’s long‑term strategy over short‑term share price movements.
deSPACs Average 60% Drop In Year One
CoinShares’ US listing is structured as a deSPAC — the operating company formed after a Special Purpose Acquisition (SPAC) merger — and deSPACs have generally performed poorly post‑deal. 
Data compiled by SPAC Research and cited by Jay Ritter, director of the IPO Initiative at the University of Florida, show that deSPACs have fallen on average about 60% in the 12 months following their mergers over the last five years. 
In his conversation with Barron’s, Mognetti framed the SPAC route as a regulatory and practical choice to facilitate the company’s cross‑border listing rather than as an urgent need for liquidity. 
He also told reporters he remains untroubled by the initial market sell‑off and urged patience: “Give us time to just put real numbers out. The market will decide after that.”

A New Comprehensive Crypto Framework
The Corporations Amendment (Digital Assets Framework) Bill 2025 that passed just today has one key requirement. Now, most centralized exchanges and tokenized custody platforms that hold client assets must obtain an Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL), coming under ASIC’s full oversight on custody, disclosure, governance, and risk management.
Rather than policing individual crypto assets, the law zeroes in on the intermediaries that hold costumers’ funds, seeking to curb risks such as fund mixing, bankruptcies, and asset abuse that have fueled past crypto blowups.
The law doesn’t just cover spot trading. It carves out two fresh classes of regulated firms: DigitalAssetPlatforms (DAPs) and tokenized custody platforms (TCPs). The legislations subjects them both to the same fundamental rulebook that governs brokers and asset managers. This is key for real‑world asset tokenization and institutional products.
According to the bill itself, businesses will have 18 months to comply with the new licensing and operational standards. The only exemptions are for very small providers with low annual transaction volumes. It is worth noting that this 18-month shift could create temporary friction in on‑ramps, liquidity fragmentation, and higher spreads as platforms rework banking relationships and risk controls.
What This Means For The Market
Bringing exchanges and tokenization providers fully under the Corporations Act could finally give TradFi the legal certainty it has been waiting for. With these businesses operating under the same familiar framework that governs traditional securities and managed funds, banks, pension funds, and asset managers gain clearer lines of accountability, standardized disclosures, and enforceable investor protections. That clarity lowers reputational and compliance risk for institutions that have been reluctant to touch digital assets, potentially opening the door to new products, deeper liquidity, and more direct participation in tokenization and crypto markets.
The new legislation, introduced and read for the first time at the ending of November 2025, could unlock up to A$24 billion a year in productivity and efficiencies across the financial sector if tokenization and digital asset infrastructure scale, government‑backed estimates. The now passed bill positions Australia as one of the most proactive jurisdictions in the global race for crypto regulation. This new more EU‑style, MiCA‑like regime competes with hubs such as Singapore and Hong Kong in the race to host compliant digital asset platforms.
Short term, it is safe to expect the possible delistings of niche tokens, tighter onboarding and KYC, and periodic volatility as local liquidity migrates toward fully licensed venues. Medium term, we could see deeper order books on fewer, heavily supervised platforms, more institutional flow, growing tokenization plays, and a clearer split between “regulatory premium” assets and unloved, hard‑to‑list tokens
If the framework lands well, Australia could become a regulated gateway for Asia‑Pacific crypto capital.

From the price of Bitcoin to the cost of a barrel of crude, investors are scrambling to figure out if we are looking at a genuine de-escalation or just a temporary calm before another storm.
A Conditional Departure
Speaking to reporters, US President Donald Trump suggested that the current conflict might be nearing its end, hinting that US forces could wrap up operations &#8220;soon.&#8221;
While the White House is floating a two-to-three-week timeline, there’s a major catch: Washington isn&#8217;t leaving until they feel their military objectives are met.
(Reuters) &#8211; U.S. President Donald Trump said the United States could end its military attacks on Iran within two to three weeks and Tehran did not have to make a deal as a prerequisite for the conflict to wind down.
The remarks underscored the shifting and at times contradictory…
— Phil Stewart (@phildstewart) April 1, 2026
The markets reacted almost instantly to the news. Traders and investors saw stocks tick upward while oil prices finally caught a break, cooling off as the fear of a total blockade in the Strait of Hormuz began to fade.
Interestingly, officials have clarified that this isn&#8217;t about a peace treaty; it’s a strategic exit based on how much of Tehran’s military capability the US can dismantle before heading for the door.
The Volatility Window
Despite the optimistic talk of leaving, the situation on the ground is far from settled. Reports of ongoing US strikes suggest that the next few days could still be quite violent. Trump has made it clear that he wants to &#8220;degrade&#8221; Iran&#8217;s ability to fight back before pulling the plug, which leaves traders in a difficult spot.
If the exit happens fast, we’ll likely see a massive relief rally. If the military gets bogged down in &#8220;one last strike,&#8221; expect volatility to come roaring back.
Bitcoin Braces For A Move
Crypto traders are perhaps the most tuned-in to this window. Bitcoin has spent the last week acting like a geopolitical barometer, swinging wildly with every headline out of the Gulf.
Currently, Bitcoin is hovering in that $68,300 to $69,000 range, stubbornly holding onto support. The &#8220;smart money&#8221; seems to be playing both sides of the fence right now.
NOW &#8211; Trump says the U.S. will leave the Iran War in 2 or 3 weeks. pic.twitter.com/p0j83neowV
— Disclose.tv (@disclosetv) March 31, 2026
The Bitcoin bull case would be a clean US exit removes the &#8220;uncertainty tax&#8221; on risk assets, potentially sending Bitcoin back toward all-time highs.
The bear case would be the withdrawal timeline slips and more strikes occur, we could see a &#8220;flush out&#8221; as investors flee to traditional hedges.
For now, the message from Washington is loud and clear, but it comes with a massive asterisk. The US is packing its bags, but it’s going to make sure it finishes the job before it leaves the room.

“We will take revenge in your behalf” As Long As You Pay In Crypto
Red paint on the door. Human waste on the stairwell. Defamatory leaflets scattered through the building. A Telegram channel with self destructing messages offering revenge “on demand” for any interested vindictive crypto-owner. This is not the premise of a Korean action movie, but an actual case the Korean police is currently investigating.
South Korean outlets reported on Monday that the Gyeonggi Southern Provincial Police Agency have now linked at least six similar “revenge attacks” across cities like Hwaseong, Uiwang, Gunpo, Pyeongtaek and Paju, all allegedly commissioned over private Telegram channels and funded with small crypto payments. None of the crimes have yet been reported in Seoul, according to the police.
Price offers include around $325 in crypto to blanket a neighborhood with flyers falsely branding men as child sex offenders or women as prostitutes. For up to roughly $1,300, you can go for more extreme harassment, like smearing human waste on doors and stairwells, gluing locks, and aggressive graffiti.
Inside Some Of The Grueling Crypto Revenges
On February this year, the Gyeonggi police arrested two men in their 20s in two separate cases, for breaking into multi-unit dwelling, scattering food waste and human feces on apartment front doors and spray-painting them and posting threatening flyers, Dong-A Ilbo claims. Both men confessed they carried out the attacks after being paid 600,000 to 800,000 won in cryptocurrency by an anonymous “boss” they had connected with on Telegram.
In January, the police pulled off a rare move by arresting an entire four‑person crew, including a ringleader in his 30s. In a particularly brazen twist, they allegedly hired a man in his 40s under the guise of a consulting role at a Baedal Minjok outsourcing firm to steal the personal data they needed. Investigators say he went on to access more than 1,000 individuals’ details for purposes unrelated to customer support.
Nobody in the chain knows each other’s real identities.
According to JoongAng Ilbo, the criminal rings advertised for customers through the social network X, with slogans like: “We will take care of even your most unspeakable problems, from bank‑account blackmail and infidelity to school bullying offenders and scam victims, in a satisfying way.”
Reporters Kim Jeong-jae and Han Chan-woo actually contacted some of this operators to uncover the working methods of the organizations. One of this brokers told them that they don’t carry out actual killings, but will resort to physical assaults if needed. The broker laid out four main revenge tactics: fabricating criminal allegations, cutting off the target’s financial access, wrecking their reputation within their social circle, and staging accidents that cause bodily harm. The claim went as far as assuring they could pin unsolved crimes on the chosen victim and even push cases far enough that the person ends up with a prison sentence or a hefty fine.
Reporter Kim Kang-woo for the Kiho Ilbo explained their modus operandi meticulously. Members of the organizations recruit perpetrators using bait such as &#8220;high-paying part-time jobs.&#8221; The handlers supplied details like the victims’ home addresses and common entrance codes, along with step‑by‑step instructions for the job. The attackers carry out the crimes mostly at dawn, when streets are quiet. They take care to avoid cameras by wearing hats and masks to hide their faces from nearby CCTV. Afterward, they snap “proof” photos of the damage on their phones and sent the images back to their superiors.
What This Means For The Market
South Korea is not the only country suffering from very dark crypto-linked crimes. Famous cases include the 2015 Silk Road saga, with its developer Ross Ulbritch being sentenced to life in prison for building a dark web platform where users could purchase drugs and other illicit services using Bitcoin. He was later granted a pardon by US President Donald Trump in January 2025.
The North Korea‑affiliated Lazarus Group has funneled billions of dollars in stolen money through cryptocurrency networks.
As South Korean police hunt for the still‑unknown masterminds and brokers, these cases become fresh ammunition for politicians who want tougher controls on self‑custody, mixers and privacy tools. Every lurid headline about crypto‑funded harassment helps justify stricter travel‑rule enforcement, tighter exchange surveillance and potentially harsher penalties for non‑compliant platforms. This trends can affect liquidity, on‑ramps and volatility even if the underlying use‑cases are tiny in value terms.
Serious traders should treat this as a sentiment and regulation signal. The more crypto is linked to cheap, personalised violence, the stronger the case for intrusive oversight.

Bitfarms announced plans Tuesday to rebrand as Keel Infrastructure and move its legal base from Canada to the US, capping a five-month exit from Bitcoin that management described as a deliberate break from the past.
No Half-Measures In The Company&#8217;s New Direction
CEO Ben Gagnon made the company&#8217;s position plain during an earnings call. &#8220;No half-measures, no compromises, and in time, no Bitcoin,&#8221; he said. &#8220;We built a new company.&#8221; Bitfarms is now focused on building and operating data centers that power high-performance computing and artificial intelligence platforms.
According to company filings, it is developing a 2.2-gigawatt infrastructure pipeline across North America, targeting what it calls hyperscalers and next-generation cloud providers.
The rebrand and the relocation have both received shareholder approval. The move to the US signals a deliberate repositioning — one aimed at tapping a market where AI infrastructure spending has been climbing steadily.
A Year Of Heavy Losses Tied To Falling Bitcoin Prices
The company&#8217;s 2025 financial results, also released Tuesday, showed a net loss of $284.5 million — wider than the year before. Revenue rose 70% year-on-year to close to $230 million, but the cost of generating that revenue came in at $248 million, producing a gross loss before other expenses were counted.
General and administrative costs also increased. A swing in the fair value of digital assets cost the company almost $51 million last year, compared to a $26 million gain in 2024. A $28 million gain from selling digital assets partially offset those figures.
Bitcoin mining has become a harder business to run. Data shows the leading cryptocurrency has dropped 45% from its October high. Mining difficulty — a measure of how hard it is to earn new coins — has risen 58% since the last halving in May 2024. Those conditions squeezed margins across the industry, not just at Bitfarms.
Despite the losses, investors responded positively. Shares closed Tuesday up 6.60%, trading at 2.73 Canadian dollars, or roughly $1.96 US.
Bitcoin Holdings Still On The Books For Now
Reports indicate the company still holds about $161 million in Bitcoin that carries no debt against it. That reserve provides some financial flexibility as the transition continues.
Bitfarms is not alone in making this kind of shift. Iris Energy has been scaling AI cloud services using Nvidia graphics processors. Cipher Mining locked in a long-term hosting deal with AI cloud firm Fluidstack.
Riot Platforms and MARA Holdings have both expanded into AI and high-performance computing as well. The pattern reflects a broader move by mining companies seeking higher margins in a different corner of the tech sector.
For Bitfarms, the message from leadership is that the old business is done. What comes next is being built from the ground up — under a new name, in a new country, chasing a different market entirely.

Solana Vs. XRP: Which Coin Has Held Up Better?</title><description><![CDATA[Over the years, the rivalry between Ethereum, Solana, and XRP has grown tougher, with investors staking their claims with their favorites. After the last bull run, though, Solana seemed to come out ahead, hitting new all-time highs before Ethereum, and completely outpacing XRP that never hit new peaks. But now, after the bull run is done and prices have begun to fall again, we take a look at which of these three have held up their value better.
Ethereum Holds Up Similarly To Bitcoin
Ethereum only briefly made a new peak of $4,953 last year, and this was very short-lived. As the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, it is the digital asset that has most mirrored the Bitcoin performance during the decline, returning with similar numbers.
According to data from CoinMarketCap, the Ethereum price is down around 59% since 2025, not far off from Bitcoin’s 47% in the same time period. In a similar fashion, the daily trading volume is down more than 65% from its all-time high, mirroring the same pattern. Interestingly, the Ethereum price is up 6% on a year-to-date basis.
XRP’s Failure To Hit All-Time Highs Shows Weakness
Between 2024 and 2025, the XRP price was able to rally by around 600%, hitting about $3.5. However, even this major rally could not propel the altcoin price well enough to hit a new all-time high and break the 2017 $3.8 record. The price eventually peaked in 2025, and it has been downhill ever since.
With the XRP price trading below $1.5, this means that the altcoin is now more than 65% below its all-time high levels. On a year-to-date basis, the XRP price is down 37%, despite major developments such as the XRP Vs. SEC lawsuit coming to an end, and the advent of Vanguard allowing ETFs on its platform, among others.
Solana Rallied The Strongest, But Struggles The Most
The Solana price hit multiple new peaks during the last bull run, outperforming both XRP and Ethereum. But the decline has been just as strong as its rally. CoinMarketCap data shows that Solana is currently trading more than 71% below its $294 all-time high that was set in 2025.
Over the last year, the Solana price has crashed more than 35%, and this decline has seen it crash below $100 for the first time since 2024. Meme coin activity, which was the primary driver of the Solana price, has died down significantly, and this decline in activity has contributed to the bearish pressure.
Going by the data, the Ethereum price has held up the best, with XRP coming in second. The Solana price has suffered the most during this time, emerging the worse-off out of the three.
