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

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

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

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

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

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

— Eric Balchunas (@EricBalchunas) April 14, 2026
The filing landed as Bitcoin was already making a move. The leading cryptocurrency climbed as high as $76,000 on the day Goldman&#8217;s registration statement was submitted to the SEC, before pulling back to around $75,000.
Goldman Sachs: What The Filing Covers
According to the SEC document, the fund may hold spot Bitcoin ETF shares and Bitcoin ETF options directly. Goldman noted in its prospectus that the fund&#8217;s income-generating mechanism centers on selling covered call options against those holdings.
That kind of structure is already common in equity income funds, but applying it to Bitcoin marks a relatively new direction for a bank of Goldman&#8217;s size.
No fee details or a launch date have been disclosed. The SEC has not yet approved the fund. Goldman Sachs manages roughly $3.6 trillion in assets across its operations.
The filing adds to a broader wave of institutional involvement in Bitcoin-linked investment products. With two of Wall Street&#8217;s largest banks now formally in the game, the push to bring Bitcoin into mainstream finance through regulated vehicles shows no sign of slowing.

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

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

Why Rising Bullish Sentiment Can Cause More Downside
Bitcoin&#8217;s sentiment is now slowly turning bullish again, which is a reflection of its price action in recent days. However, according to crypto analyst Max, the gradual return of optimism across social media and trading circles is a warning sign. 
Max, who shared his outlook on X alongside a multi-cycle Bitcoin chart, proposed that the re-emergence of bullish sentiment at this point is precisely what should concern investors. “When sentiment slowly starts turning bullish again,” he wrote, “that&#8217;s usually your sign that the bottom isn&#8217;t in yet.”
Max pointed out that recent discussions around a cycle bottom forming already, along with predictions of a historic rally, mirror sentiment conditions that have always appeared before further downside moves. In short, the crowd turning optimistic too early could mean the market has not yet completed its corrective phase.
This outlook is based on the fact that the Bitcoin price has not yet produced the structural conditions that have historically confirmed cycle lows. He identifies three specific cycle low signals that are currently absent on the Bitcoin chart: total capitulation, repeated sweeps of the lows, and a confirmed change in market structure on the weekly timeframe.

Cycle Timing Puts The Bottom In October
The most interesting part of this technical outlook is the cycle comparison overlaid by Max onto Bitcoin&#8217;s full price history. Previous Bitcoin cycles show a consistent rhythm of extended accumulation and expansion phases followed by lengthy corrections.
From the 2013, 2018, and 2021 cycle tops, Bitcoin required around 365 days of decline before reaching a definitive bottom. Interestingly, each cycle was characterized by a smaller decline by the previous one. The 2013 top was followed by a 427-day decline of 87%, the 2018 top brought a 365-day drop of 83%, and the 2021 top saw a 365-day correction of about 75%. 
The projected path suggests a similar structure is still playing out in the current cycle since the October 2025 peak. Projecting that structure forward from the 2025 cycle top, Max&#8217;s chart targets October 2026 as the likely bottom window, with a projected price of $40,000. 
This bottom would align with both the duration and magnitude of previous bear phases, instead of the much faster recovery some market participants are expecting. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $74,590, up by 5.4% in the past 24 hours.

Kraken Fights Back Extortion Demands
On Monday, Kraken’s Chief Security Officer (CSO), Nick Percoco, revealed that a criminal group is extorting the crypto exchange, threatening to release videos of their systems exposing client data.
In a security update, the CSO affirmed that Kraken had identified and shut down two instances of inappropriate access to limited client support data since 2025. Per the post, the crypto exchange received a tip about a video shared on a criminal forum. The video reportedly showed access to Kraken’s client support system.
The exchange “immediately launched an investigation and quickly identified the individual involved as a member of our support team,” Percoco explained, “Their access was revoked immediately, a full investigation was conducted, additional security controls were put in place and a limited number of affected clients were notified.”
More recently, they received another tip with a new video showing similar activity, prompting a new investigation to identify the parties involved, terminate their access, and notify the affected clients.
“Shortly after access was terminated, we began receiving extortion demands,” the security chief stated. “The criminals threatened to distribute materials from both the February 2025 incident and the recent incident to media outlets and on social media if we did not comply.”
Percoco emphasized that the exchange’s systems were never breached and funds were never at risk. In addition, he noted that “only a very small number” of client accounts, approximately 2,000 or 0.02% of clients, were potentially viewed across both incidents.
Kraken has now publicly rejected the criminal demands, declaring that they “will not pay these criminals” and “will not ever negotiate with bad actors.”
In the announcement, the exchange highlighted that it has been collaborating with industry partners and law enforcement to “investigate and disrupt insider recruitment efforts targeting not only crypto companies, but also gaming and telecommunications organizations.”
Based on intelligence gathered from the two incidents and extensive analysis, Kraken believes there is sufficient evidence to identify and arrest all individuals involved, but did not share additional details as the investigation continues. However, they urged anyone with relevant information to contact the exchange directly.
This incident comes just a month after Kraken scored a major victory for the crypto industry, becoming the first crypto company with direct access to the Federal Reserve’s core payment system after winning the Kansas City Fed’s approval for a Fed master account.
Crypto Community Raises Insider Access Concerns
Crypto investors and Kraken users online reacted to the news, questioning the exchange about the details of the two incidents and criticizing the exchange for offshoring customer support staff.
“So, basically, you outsourced it to shady third-party companies (or even worse, your internal recruiters are sleeping), and you got hacked twice or more. You made your customers vulnerable to wrench attacks,” an X user wrote under Percoco’s post.
However, details of whether the inappropriate data access was from an in-house support team or an overseas third-party support staff have not been revealed yet.
Another crypto community member pushed back on Kraken’s “very small number” of clients clarification, asserting that “this is not the metric you think it is&#8230; of those 2000 accounts, they are probably the ones with balances worth wrench attacking.”
Others drew a parallel between this incident and Coinbase’s data breach controversy from last year. For context, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong revealed in May 2025 that malicious actors had bribed a handful of support contractors overseas to access the company’s internal tools.
This led to the leak of names, email addresses, limited transaction records, and partial Social Security numbers of around 1% of the exchange’s users. Then, the attackers attempted to blackmail Coinbase using the breached information, demanding a $20 million Bitcoin (BTC) ransom for the sensitive data.
Reuters later alleged that Coinbase had been aware of the customer data leak months before it disclosed it, also raising concerns about transparency and insider threats.

The token, which rose from seemingly obscurity into the limelight in less than a month, has quickly become the hot topic of the crypto market. Naturally, its rapid surge has triggered excitement among some community members. But the broader majority are only left with questions: what is RAVE and why is it pumping?
Tearing Down The Mystery Behind RAVE DAO
RaveDAO (RAVE) was launched back in December 2025, making it a fairly new cryptocurrency in the space. It first burst into the scene in what seemed to be a pretty insider-dominated sale, with a total supply of 1 billion, and the tokens from the sale vested.
As for the utility, the RaveDAO website says that the project is meant to be the future of on-chain entertainment. They do this by hosting events around the world, with past events billed across countries such as the UAE, Singapore, South Korea, among others.
The RAVE token was launched on the Ethereum Layer 2 network, Base, owned by Coinbase, and quickly gained widespread acceptance. According to its CoinMarketCap page, the RAVE token was quickly listed on top exchanges such as Binance, Coinbase, and Bitget.
With widespread influencer and KOL support, the token’s social media quickly grew to tens of thousands of followers. But while the project itself is interesting, the real ‘tea’ is what happened in the days leading up to its over 4,000% rally.
A Real Pump Or A Classic Manipulation?
In the days following the pump, on-chain sleuths and investigators had dug into the on-chain activities of the RAVE team to unveil what appears to be a sinister manipulation scheme. According to the Evening Trader Group, a multisig wallet linked to the team had begun a massive accumulation trend using intermediary wallets. By the time the accumulation was done, the wallet had accumulated over $40 million worth of RAVE, quickly multiplying its profit.
As investigators dug deeper, the true holder concentration showed just how deep it went. According to on-chain data, the team currently controls more than 90% of the total supply. This concentration has led to manipulation allegations against the RaveDAO team as community members demand answers.
The surge also caught the attention of the popular on-chain investigator, ZachXBT, who reached out directly to co-founder @wildwoodmoo on X. However, there has been no response from the co-founder, who hasn’t been active on the social media platform since February.
At the time of writing, the RAVE token is up by more than 4,500% in the last month. This has pushed its unlocked market cap above $3 billion, and its Fully Diluted Valuation (FDV) to over $13 billion. Its trading volume has ballooned, garnering over $4 billion in trading volume on Binance Perps alone, and its growth continues to befuddle investors, who have taken to calling it another Binance “crime” token.

A Company Built Around A Single Asset
Stack BTC, listed on the Aquis exchange and chaired by former UK Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng, bought 37 Bitcoin on Monday for roughly $2.7 million, or about £2 million. The purchase price worked out to approximately $72,385 per coin. The company now holds 68.19 BTC in total.
Stack BTC markets itself as a way for UK investors to gain crypto exposure through public markets — essentially a listed vehicle that holds Bitcoin so ordinary shareholders don&#8217;t have to hold it themselves. Its share price climbed 7.3% on Monday, closing at $14.42, up from $13.42 at Friday&#8217;s close.
BREAKING: Nigel Farage has purchased £2m of Bitcoin for Stack BTC &#8211; becoming the first sitting MP and the first UK political party leader in history to publicly buy Bitcoin.
A landmark moment for Bitcoin in British politics.$STAK @Nigel_Farage @blockchain @kwasi_stackbtc… pic.twitter.com/O614kKe5TN
— Stack BTC (@stackbtc_) April 13, 2026
Farage already had skin in the game before Monday&#8217;s announcement. He disclosed a $286,000 equity stake in Stack BTC, giving him a 6.31% minority holding in the company. Kwarteng holds a stake as well. Both investments were disclosed in March.
In a video tied to Monday&#8217;s purchase, Farage said a Bitcoin treasury company could not function without actually holding BTC. Kwarteng said the firm had made significant progress over recent weeks.
Reform UK Pulled In $18M In Crypto Donations Last Year
The announcement lands at an awkward moment for Farage politically. Over the past year, Reform UK collected around $18 million in crypto-linked donations — more than either the ruling Labour Party or the Conservatives.
That figure drew scrutiny from regulators and transparency groups. The UK government responded by pushing forward plans to temporarily prohibit crypto donations to political parties. UK lawmakers have since called for a moratorium on such contributions.
The proposed ban would cut off one of Reform UK&#8217;s most productive funding streams. Farage has not publicly addressed that conflict directly.
Bitcoin Backing Puts Farage Ahead Of His UK Political Rivals
Reports indicate that no other sitting British MP or party leader has taken a comparable financial position in Bitcoin. Stack BTC described Farage&#8217;s involvement as a landmark moment for Bitcoin in British politics.
Whether that framing holds depends partly on what happens next in Parliament, where the crypto donation restrictions are still working their way through.

SEC Draws Guardrails For Crypto Interfaces
According to the guidance, some crypto trading interfaces—explicitly including decentralized finance (DeFi) front-ends, wallet extensions, and mobile applications—could fall outside the broker-dealer framework if they meet a set of strict conditions. 
The key point is that this is not a broad &#8220;permission slip&#8221; for every interface that touches crypto. Rather, the SEC is outlining a specific path for interfaces structured in a way that does not involve traditional trade intermediation.
One of the most important requirements is that users must control their own keys. In other words, the interface cannot become a point where custody shifts to the platform or where the operator effectively takes over the user’s ability to initiate and sign transactions. 
The guidance also emphasizes that the interface must be purely facilitative: it should take inputs from the user, convert those inputs into on-chain commands, and then allow the user to sign. It cannot perform discretionary routing, make recommendations, or otherwise steer users toward particular investment outcomes. 
Fees are another focal area. The SEC’s staff says fees must be fixed or otherwise agnostic, and the interface must provide full disclosures. The guidance further notes that platforms need proper compliance policies. 
Together, these conditions are meant to distinguish between an interface that simply helps a user execute a transaction they control, and an arrangement that looks more like an investment intermediary—something broker-dealer rules are designed to regulate.
SEC Tone Shift Under Paul Atkins
The staff clarification is also limited in scope. It applies to interfaces handling “crypto asset securities,” not to Bitcoin (BTC). That distinction matters because the SEC has long treated Bitcoin as a non-security digital commodity. 
As a result, Bitcoin self-custody and peer-to-peer (P2P) transactions have historically been outside the broker-dealer reach described in this guidance.
Even with those limits, the tone of the guidance is significant. Under Chair Paul Atkins, the SEC appears to be reinforcing the idea that self-custodial, non-intermediated activity belongs outside the broker-dealer structure. 
This is a notable shift in emphasis compared with the Gensler era, when many enforcement actions were seen as casting a wide net over interfaces touching digital assets, even when the underlying mechanics involved users signing transactions themselves.
Atkins has also suggested there may be an “innovation exemption” on the way, which could potentially extend more relief to tokenized securities trading that relies on decentralized infrastructure. 
In simple terms, the SEC is signaling that it recognizes there may be ways to build market access using decentralized tools without recreating the traditional broker-dealer model.

Strategy Has Added 13,927 BTC To Its Treasury
As shared by Strategy co-founder and chairman Michael Saylor in a new X post, the treasury company has furthered its Bitcoin buying spree. The new acquisition involved a total of 13,927 BTC, bought for $1 billion or $71,902 per token.
This is a sizeable purchase and a step up from the company&#8217;s last two buys of 1,031 and 4,871 coins. Saylor hinted at the purchase being significant in his usual Sunday X post with the company&#8217;s Bitcoin portfolio tracker, this time using the caption &#8220;Think ₿igger.&#8221;
Following this acquisition, Strategy has witnessed its holdings cross the 780,000 BTC milestone. Also, its total investment is approaching the $60 billion mark, with its current value sitting at $59.02 billion.
According to the filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Strategy made the new purchase between April 6th and 12th and funded it using sales of its STRC at-the-market (ATM) stock offering.
With 780,897 BTC in Strategy&#8217;s wallets, its holdings alone account for about 3.9% of the entire circulating supply of the cryptocurrency. This makes it by far the largest public holder of BTC.
Strategy has continued its Bitcoin accumulation despite the fact that the cryptocurrency&#8217;s spot price has been trading below the company&#8217;s cost basis of $75,577 since the crash at the start of February. At the current price, the firm&#8217;s massive holdings are about 6.3% underwater.
Interestingly, Strategy actually doesn&#8217;t need much of a return on its BTC investment to sustain its operations. As Saylor has explained in an X post, the company&#8217;s break-even BTC annual rate of return is just 2.05%. &#8220;If Bitcoin grows faster than that over time, we can cover our dividends indefinitely without issuing new $MSTR shares,&#8221; noted the chairman.
Strategy isn&#8217;t the only digital asset treasury firm that has maintained a consistent buying schedule despite the bearish shift in the wider sector. Bitmine, the largest Ethereum treasury company, has also been adding to its reserves week after week.
According to the latest Monday press release from Bitmine, it participated in accumulation of another 71,524 ETH over the past week. This happens to be the largest weekly addition to the firm&#8217;s holdings since December 2025 and continues a pattern of larger buys from the last few weeks. Thomas &#8220;Tom&#8221; Lee, the firm&#8217;s chairman, said:
Bitmine has maintained the increased pace of ETH buys in each of the past four weeks, as our base case ETH is in the final stages of the &#8216;mini-crypto winter.&#8217;
After the acquisition, Bitmine&#8217;s reserves have grown to 4,874,858 ETH, equivalent to 4.04% of the total Ethereum supply in circulation.
BTC Price
Bitcoin has pulled back from its weekend high as its price has dropped to the $71,100 level.

One of the routers took the bait. The wallet was drained. The loss was under $50, but the implications reached far beyond the dollar amount.
That experiment was part of a broader study published recently, in which researchers tested 428 large language model routers — 28 paid and 400 free — collected from public online communities.
What they found was alarming. Nine routers were actively inserting malicious code into traffic passing through them. Two were using evasion techniques to avoid detection. Seventeen accessed AWS credentials belonging to the researchers. One stole actual cryptocurrency.
How Routers Became A Security Blind Spot
LLM routers sit between a developer&#8217;s application and AI providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google. They work as intermediaries, bundling API access into a single pipeline.
26 LLM routers are secretly injecting malicious tool calls and stealing creds. One drained our client $500k wallet.
We also managed to poison routers to forward traffic to us. Within several hours, we can directly take over ~400 hosts.
Check our paper: https://t.co/zyWz25CDpl pic.twitter.com/PlhmOYz2ec
— Chaofan Shou (@Fried_rice) April 10, 2026
The problem is structural. These routers terminate encrypted internet connections — known as TLS — and read every message in plain text before passing it along. That means anything sent through them, including private keys, seed phrases, and login credentials, is fully visible to whoever operates the router.
According to the researchers, the line between normal credential handling and outright theft is invisible from the client&#8217;s end. Developers have no way to tell the difference. A router that looks like a legitimate service can silently forward sensitive data to a third party without triggering any alarm.
Co-author Chaofan Shou said on X that 26 routers were found to be &#8220;secretly injecting malicious tool calls and stealing creds.&#8221;
The study also flagged what researchers called &#8220;YOLO mode&#8221; — a setting built into many AI agent frameworks that lets agents run commands without stopping to ask users for approval.
A malicious router combined with an auto-executing agent could move funds or exfiltrate data before a developer even notices something went wrong.
Crypto Security: Free Access Used As Bait
Reports from the study indicate that free routers are especially suspect. Cheap or no-cost API access appears to be used as an incentive to get developers to route traffic through infrastructure that may be harvesting credentials in the background.
Even routers that start out clean are not safe — the researchers found that previously legitimate routers can be quietly turned malicious once operators reuse leaked credentials through poorly secured relay systems.
The recommended fix for now is straightforward: keep private keys and seed phrases out of any AI agent session entirely.
For the long term, researchers say AI companies need to cryptographically sign their responses so that the instructions an agent executes can be mathematically traced back to the actual model — cutting off the ability of any middleman to tamper with them undetected.

The uncertainty is higher. And beneath the price, the derivatives market on Binance just recorded one of its sharpest single-venue position closures in recent memory.
A CryptoQuant analysis tracking XRP&#8217;s derivatives structure across major platforms has identified a development that reframes the current weakness as something more specific than a broad market correction. Binance — the exchange that processes the largest share of XRP futures volume globally — recorded an open interest decline of approximately 721.49 million XRP. That is not a routine position adjustment. That is a near-complete evacuation of leveraged exposure from the market&#8217;s most systemically significant trading venue.
The scale of the Binance decline is the first data point that demands context. When open interest contracts are this sharply on a single exchange that reflects broader market trends, the movement typically signals one of two things: deliberate risk reduction by traders who have decided the current environment does not justify maintaining exposure, or forced liquidations triggered by price volatility removing positions that could not withstand the pressure.
The line between those two explanations matters — because one describes a market-clearing excess, and the other describes a market still under stress.
The Pattern Repeats Across Two More Venues
The Binance decline does not stand alone. Bybit recorded an open interest drop of approximately 132.10 million XRP — the second largest decline in the dataset and a meaningful reduction in its own right, even against the scale of Binance&#8217;s movement. Bitfinex added a further 10.96 million XRP to the total. Combined across all three venues, the aggregate position closure reaches approximately 864 million XRP removed from the XRP derivatives market in a single period.
That multi-venue confirmation is the finding that transforms the Binance reading from a platform-specific event into a market-wide signal. Three exchanges with different user bases, different ownership structures, and different geographic footprints, all recording simultaneous open interest declines, point to a single systemic cause rather than three separate explanations.
Traders are reducing XRP exposure across the board. The risk appetite that built these positions has withdrawn from the market at scale.
The report&#8217;s forward assessment holds both possibilities without resolving them prematurely. A sharp, broad-based drop in open interest is consistent with cautious sentiment and weakening short-term momentum — the bearish reading. It is equally consistent with the clearing of excess leverage that creates the structural conditions for a stronger move when liquidity returns and new positions begin forming — the constructive reading.
Which interpretation prevails depends on what arrives next: continued selling pressure that confirms the bearish thesis, or a catalyst that fills the vacuum the position closures have created. The market has cleared. The direction of what refills it is the question the data cannot yet answer.
XRP Remains Under Pressure as Range Tightens
XRP continues to trade just above the $1.30 level, maintaining a narrow consolidation range after the sharp breakdown that defined February’s price action. The chart reflects a clear transition from trending behavior to compression, with price moving sideways between roughly $1.25 and $1.40.
Despite the stabilization, the broader structure remains weak. XRP is still trading below the 50-day (blue), 100-day (green), and 200-day (red) moving averages, all trending downward. This alignment confirms that bearish momentum has not reversed. Recent attempts to push higher have repeatedly failed near the 50-day average, indicating persistent overhead supply.
The February capitulation wick, accompanied by a spike in volume, suggests a liquidation-driven event that likely marked short-term exhaustion. However, the subsequent decline in volume signals reduced participation rather than renewed demand. The market is no longer under stress, but it is also not attracting strong buyers.
Structurally, XRP is compressing near support. The $1.30 level is holding, but without conviction. A break below $1.25 would likely trigger another leg lower, while a move above $1.50 is required to shift momentum and challenge the broader downtrend.
For now, XRP remains in a state of equilibrium, awaiting a catalyst to resolve direction.

The price action at the end of last week is starting to generate optimistic views for the Bitcoin price, but a pattern that has repeated across every major Bitcoin market cycle shows that the leading cryptocurrency is still in a sell zone.
A Repeating 4-Year Cycle That Ends The Same Way
Technical analysis of Bitcoin&#8217;s price action on the weekly candlestick timeframe chart shows an interesting observation. The analysis was done by a crypto analyst called Tony Research, who looked at one of the most consistently observed structures in Bitcoin&#8217;s history: the four-year cycle. 
The analysis looked at the following durations from bottom to bottom across three distinct cycles. Cycle 1 (2015 to 2018) ran for 1,431 days; Cycle 2 (2019 to 2022) covered 1,421 days; and the current Cycle 3 (2023 to 2026) is tracking at approximately 1,390 days. 
The Gaussian Channel indicator on the weekly timeframe chart shows that each of these cycles has followed the same general structure. The structure involves a recovery from a bear market bottom, a bull run that carries the BTC price to new all-time highs, and then a final distribution phase before a major drawdown. 
Bitcoin formed bull market tops in November 2013, December 2017, and November 2021, with each cycle spanning approximately four years from peak to peak. Consistent with this structure, the most recent cycle appears to have peaked on October 6, 2025, at just above $126,000. 
Price action trading between $60,000 and $76,000 is, in Tony&#8217;s view, not for nothing but a reflection of indecision at a critical point in the cycle. The conclusion is that this range is the final stage before a deeper correction.
Bitcoin Might Be In The Sell Zone
History shows that the moment Bitcoin crossed back beneath the upper band of the Gaussian Channel signified the entry into what is the terminal distribution phase. The same signal has now appeared on the current chart, and this reinforces the idea that BTC is trading in a zone where the final drop might happen any time. 
In another analysis, Tony outlined an approach to Bitcoin that has, by his assessment, outperformed the vast majority of retail traders over a four-year period. The approach is based on Bitcoin&#8217;s relationship with its 200-day moving average. 
Whenever the price falls below the MA200, the instruction is to buy and accumulate. When Bitcoin breaks back above the MA200 and has been trading above it for approximately 1,000 days, the instruction is to sell. 
At present, BTC has already spent many months above this moving average. Therefore, the cryptocurrency might not be in a phase where aggressive accumulation makes sense.

The number is significant. What it represents is more significant than the number.
A CryptoQuant report drawing on DeFiLlama data has identified a recovery that goes beyond the return of capital. After the post-2021 correction erased the speculative froth from the DeFi market, the $95 billion now locked in on-chain protocols reflects something the 2021 peak did not: sustained inflows driven by real demand rather than yield-chasing momentum. The capital has returned. This time, it appears to be staying.
The structural shift the report identifies beneath the TVL figure is the more consequential development. DeFi is no longer being evaluated primarily as a high-yield speculation venue. It is being re-evaluated as financial infrastructure — a replacement for the intermediary layer that traditional finance places between users and their assets. The distinction is fundamental: in traditional finance, institutions hold assets on behalf of users. In DeFi, users hold their own assets via smart contracts. Trust moves from institutions to code.
At the center of that shift is self-custody — and in Japan, that shift is becoming practical rather than theoretical. Hashport Wallet is lowering the barrier to private key ownership for mainstream users, making the infrastructure of self-custody accessible to a population that has historically kept its financial assets in institutional hands.
The DeFi Infrastructure Is Assembling. Japan Is Watching Closely
The report identifies stablecoins as the connective tissue that makes DeFi functional rather than theoretical. Price-stable assets solve the fundamental friction that prevented cryptocurrency from replacing traditional payment infrastructure: volatility.
When the medium of exchange fluctuates 10% in a session, it cannot serve as a foundation for payments, transfers, or lending. Stablecoins remove that friction. Their expanding global market size is not a crypto trend — it is the growth of a settlement layer that real-world financial activity increasingly depends on.
The Ethereum network data provides the on-chain confirmation. Transaction activity has surged recently — and the report draws the distinction that matters most in interpreting that surge. When network activity increases alongside rising prices, it suggests organic demand rather than speculative positioning. Users are not just betting on Ethereum. They are using it. That combination — activity growth and price growth occurring together — is the signature of a strengthening on-chain economy rather than a reflexive bubble.
Japan is translating these global developments into a domestic financial model with a specific architectural choice. JPYC — a yen-denominated stablecoin — makes the entire DeFi stack practically accessible to Japanese users and institutions in local currency. The friction of currency conversion, the barrier of dollar-denominated protocols, the regulatory complexity of foreign stablecoin exposure — JPYC addresses all three simultaneously.
What JPYC and Hashport are building together is not a crypto product. It is a national financial access layer: self-custody infrastructure paired with a local-currency settlement asset, delivering the full capability of global DeFi to a population that holds some of the world&#8217;s largest household savings. That combination — accessibility, sovereignty, and local currency denomination — is what the report identifies as a uniquely viable model for regulated economies entering on-chain finance.
Stablecoin Dominance Stalls After Sharp Expansion
Stablecoin dominance has entered a consolidation phase after a strong upward move that defined late 2025 and early 2026. The chart shows a clear expansion from roughly 7% to above 13%, reflecting a significant shift in capital positioning. That rise typically signals a defensive market environment, where participants rotate out of volatile assets into stablecoins.
Since peaking near the 14% region in February, dominance has stabilized around 13.2%, forming a horizontal range rather than continuing higher. This shift from expansion to consolidation suggests that the initial risk-off move has already occurred, and the market is now in a holding pattern rather than actively de-risking further.
Technically, the structure remains constructive. Stablecoin dominance is holding above its 50-day (blue) and 100-day (green) moving averages, both trending upward, while the 200-day (red) continues to rise below. This alignment confirms that, despite the pause, the broader trend of capital preservation remains intact.
Structurally, this is a plateau at elevated levels. A break above 14% would signal renewed risk aversion, while a move below 12% would indicate capital rotating back into crypto assets. For now, the market remains cautious, not yet risk-on.

In comments made on Monday, South Korea’s central bank suggested that crypto exchanges should use new mechanisms designed to prevent mistakes like the one that led to an erroneous payment involving 620,000 Bitcoin (BTC) in February.
Bithumb Case Details
Local media reports say the BOK pointed to the absence of circuit-breaker style systems as a key reason such incidents can escalate. The central bank highlighted that the crypto asset sector, compared with traditional finance, generally has “weaker internal controls and lower regulatory standards.” 
The Bithumb incident itself, according to the Bank of Korea’s description at the time, involved staff distributing Bitcoin without the required approvals. The exchange allegedly allowed employees to send BTC without supervisor clearance and without verification through internal monitoring departments. 
The BOK also noted that the damage was made worse by delays in recognizing what had happened and responding appropriately. It said Bithumb’s fraud detection system did not function as expected, which contributed to the scale and impact of the mistake.
BOK Calls For Real-Time IT Checks
Looking ahead, the Bank of Korea said it believes crypto exchanges should consider system-level protections similar to the Korea Exchange (KRX) circuit breakers. 
The idea is to give markets an automatic “pause” mechanism during abnormal activity—such as large-volume orders or sudden, sharp price swings—so trading can be halted when conditions indicate something is going wrong. 
Beyond trading halts, the BOK also stressed the need for better technology to reduce human error. It said exchanges should have IT systems that can automatically, and in real time, verify that internal ledgers match blockchain balances, and stop erroneous payments before they propagate. 
In other words, the Bank of Korea is pushing for real-time checks that can confirm balances accurately and prevent mistakes from turning into costly incidents.

The growing bearish momentum is driven by heightened selling pressure across the market, backed by a confluence of macroeconomic and political events.
Geopolitical Shock Drives Bitcoin Short Interest
Several negative factors across the broader cryptocurrency sector and the world are bolstering Bitcoin’s recent pullback. Currently, heightened macroeconomic and geopolitical tensions are once again spilling into the crypto market, causing Bitcoin and other digital assets to retest key support price levels.
In an X post, Darkfost, a verified CryptoQuant author and data analyst, revealed that BTC is experiencing renewed heavy short pressure following the breakdown of the US-Iran talks. After a week of suggesting an improvement in the geopolitical situation, the expert argues that the negotiations scheduled for this weekend will ultimately put an end to that hope.
Due to the unsuccessful negotiations, there is now more uncertainty in the global markets, which has caused traders to take more short positions. At this point, Bitcoin’s price action is now being shaped by macro headlines, flipping sentiment toward a more cautious and volatile state.
The news about the unsuccessful negotiations was announced by US Vice President JD Vance during the weekend. According to Vance, no agreement had been reached between Iran and the US, especially due to ongoing disagreements over nuclear issues. Following the announcement, the price of BTC fell by around 3%, revisiting the $70,000 range. 
BTC Sell Volume On Binance Sees Sharp Growth
Darkfost highlighted that investors remain bearish and are leading toward the downside despite a drawdown of nearly 42% from its last peak. At the time of the post, sell volume on Binance derivatives was valued at nearly $1 billion, reinforcing the selling pressure. The rise in sell volume underscores the level of uncertainty across the BTC market, as evidenced by the wave of bearish positioning from both small and large investors.
Shorts continue to dominate funding rates, which are currently negative at -0.0065%. For reference, a 0.01% implicit interest rate is incorporated into Binance&#8217;s funding rate calculation. When funding rates drop below this level, it often indicates that short positions are already the dominant part of the market. This trend reflects significant bearish pressure in the very short term.
However, the market has historically tended to move against the majority when this type of consensus is formed. As a result of this, the dynamic is typically more subtle during bear markets. Even when it causes short-term reactions, their scope and duration are often constrained.
With shorting activity building among investors, the focus now shifts to whether the fresh wave of uncertainty will lead to more declines or pave the way for a dramatic reversal in the near term.

According to the update, Ryoshi had locked and transferred a staggering amount of SHIB following its launch, significantly reducing its circulating supply and elevating the project’s level of decentralization and governance control. 
The Move Made By Shiba Inu’s Founder Ryoshi
In an X post on April 10, @Shibizens, followers, and supporters of the Shibarium ecosystem revealed a fun fact about Shiba Inu that continues to guide its direction and operations to this day. They revealed that following Shiba Inu’s mid-2020 debut, Ryoshi had sent approximately 50% of its massive supply of 1 quadrillion tokens, about 505 trillion SHIB tokens, to Vitalik Buterin, the founder of Ethereum (ETH). 
The transfer was initially described as a gesture of respect and acknowledgment. However, Buterin later revealed that the real motive was a marketing strategy aimed at generating attention, similar to how SpaceX CEO Elon Musk helped drive interest in Dogecoin. 
As a result, in May 2022, Buterin burnt over 410 trillion SHIB, permanently removing them from circulation. This was valued at over $6 billion in a single transaction at the time. The Ethereum founder stated that his reasons for burning the meme coin were that he didn’t want to be a “locus of power” in the project. 
Shibizens note that Ryoshi’s decision to transfer over 500 trillion SHIB to Buterin effectively removed access to the meme coin’s remaining supply, eliminating any possibility of centralized control, with no keys and no way to manage those funds. This move further reinforced Shiba Inu’s decentralization, as the ecosystem reportedly has no tokens reserved for developers and no hidden supply, leaving it fully community-governed.
Excluding Buterin’s half, Ryoshi had locked the remaining 50% of SHIB’s supply in Uniswap liquidity pools and threw away the keys. The tokens were locked in as foundational trading liquidity for the market, ensuring that anyone could swap ETH for SHIB and vice versa automatically and at any time, without a centralized exchange. 
While highlighting these events, Shibizens also explained how token burns work. According to them, users must buy SHIB tokens before they can send them to dead wallets, permanently removing them from circulation. They noted that without owning or buying coins, burns cannot be executed to increase SHIB&#8217;s scarcity over time.
SHIB Whales Continue Buying As Price Drops
New updates from Shiba Inu analysts have shown that whales are currently accumulating SHIB, viewing low prices as a buy-the-dip opportunity. Notably, the Shiba Inu price is down more than 4% over the past seven days, closely tracking the broader market&#8217;s dip, largely driven by geopolitical risk aversion, according to CoinMarketCap data.
Following the recent decline, Shiba Inu is now trading around $0.0000057, with no clear signs of a recovery in sight. The meme coin also appears to be tracing the downward trajectory of Bitcoin, which recently fell due to a shift in investor sentiment after failed US-Iran peace talks and a looming Strait of Hormuz naval blockade.

Recent data revealed that XRP is significantly cheaper and faster than SWIFT for cross-border payments. The report underscores the asset&#8217;s growing use in real-world transactions across Asian markets and highlights the speed at which the cryptocurrency’s adoption is increasing among financial institutions seeking more affordable and reliable payment solutions. 
XRP Payments Prove To Be 60% Cheaper Than SWIFT
Diana, an XRP advocate on X, made a striking revelation about the cryptocurrency on April 10. According to a crypto enthusiast, Japanese banks recently presented live data showing a staggering 60% cost savings when institutions use XRP compared to SWIFT for cross-border payments. 
At the 2026 XRP Tokyo conference in Japan, major banks in the country revealed live pilot results showing that the altcoin dramatically outperformed SWIFT across certain metrics. They had tested and directly compared XRP and SWIFT in real time, running transactions with the cryptocurrency through actual remittance corridors between Japan and Southeast Asia. The pilot test showed that not only was the cryptocurrency 60% cheaper than SWIFT, but that settlements could be completed in just under 4 seconds. 
This speed is a staggering gap compared to SWIFT, which typically takes 1-5 business days to complete a transaction. SWIFT works by routing payments through a chain of connected banks, where each institution must verify, process, and forward the transaction to the next before it reaches its final destination. Depending on the number of intermediaries involved, the process can take a long time to execute, making it inefficient, particularly for businesses and individuals who require fast, low-cost international transfers. 
How Ripple Keeps Transactions Extremely Low-Cost And Fast
In her post on X, Diana outlined three major reasons why XRP is more cost-effective than SWIFT. She noted that during cross-border transfers, it serves as a bridge asset to streamline and accelerate payments. How this works is that the XRP Ledger instantly converts a sender’s currency into XRP, transfers it across borders in seconds, and converts it into the recipient’s local currency upon arrival. This eliminates the need for multiple currency conversions via costly intermediaries. 
Diana further noted that funds move across the network in seconds because, unlike SWIFT, there are no intermediaries to slow down payments. She also pointed out that XRPL does not have pre-funded accounts like SWIFT, meaning banks are no longer required to lock up large sums of capital in overseas accounts to facilitate international transactions. According to her, this feature can unlock significant capital for financial institutions, freeing up billions of dollars that had been sitting idle and allowing banks to deploy that liquidity more productively across their operations. 
Notably, Diana revealed that during the XRP Tokyo conference, Ripple announced the expansion of its On-Demand Liquidity (ODL) platform to include 12 new currency pairs. This means that the crypto company can now facilitate instant, low-cost transactions across a significantly wider range of currencies, expanding the altcoin&#8217;s adoption into more corridors and increasing its daily demand with every transaction processed.

Alongside the pullback in price is a steady decline in XRP’s derivatives market, reinforcing the bearish narrative for the leading altcoin.
Falling XRP Open Interest On Exchanges
XRP’s price is struggling with renewed bearish pressure, driven by recent war tensions between the US and Iran. After this sudden decline in price, a noticeable shift is unfolding in the derivatives landscape of the altcoin.

Xaif Crypto, a market expert and investor, took to the X platform to announce that XRP’s Open Interest (OI) continues to decline across major cryptocurrency exchanges. The wave of outflow of leveraged positions indicates that traders are withdrawing in the face of heightened uncertainty or locking in gains to prevent further losses on their investments.
According to the expert, the open interest has been bleeding out since the blow-off in November 2025. Looking at the chart on the 30-day time frame, the OI change is currently barely above level 0 across Binance, the world’s leading trading platform, Bybit, and OKX.
This decline in open interest frequently indicates a cooling period in market activity or a consolidation phase, during which speculative momentum starts to wane. As a result, the market expert has predicted an explosive move for the altcoin in the near future, allowing it to recover key resistance levels.
In another X post, Xaif Crypto has drawn the attention of market participants to the XRP Taker Buy/Sell ratio on the Binance platform. As of Saturday, the metric has surged to a new all-time high, a classic positive condition that could shape the short-term outlook for the altcoin.
It is worth noting that this metric measures between market buy and sell orders, and currently, buyers are taking over the order flow. Xaif Crypto stated that sellers are exhibiting signs of exhaustion, which points to renewed conviction among investors as bullish pressure intensifies.
Despite waning market action, buyers are demonstrating aggressive buying activity, with smart money steadily stacking up their holdings, a clear indication of a real accumulation phase among holders.
Crypto Exchanges&#8217; Reserves Are Drying Up Fast
A striking trend is turning across the XRP market, as tokens are leaving crypto exchanges at a rapid pace. When coins are leaving trading platforms, it often points to growing conviction as traders choose to hold their assets in private custody rather than sell them on these exchanges. It also reflects tightening market liquidity, which could play a role in determining the next significant price move.

As reported by SMQKE, there are just 1.7 billion XRP available across all crypto exchanges, suggesting a smaller amount of the altcoin available for sale or trading. This is the lowest level of the altcoin held on trading platforms over the past 7 years. 
In a 21Shares report, the asset manager referred to this trend, which collides with growing institutional ETF (Exchange-Traded Fund) demand, as “the supply-shock mechanism.” The company added that &#8220;this intersection of scale and scarcity is the primary engine for a non-linear repricing throughout 2026.&#8221;

That&#8217;s what happened to Garrett Dutton, the American musician known as G. Love, who lost 5.9 Bitcoin — worth roughly $420,000 — after a malicious app tricked him into giving away the one thing he was never supposed to share.
A Retirement Fund Built Over Years
Dutton had been stacking Bitcoin since 2017, treating it as a long-term retirement plan. On Saturday, he posted about the loss on X, telling his 67,500 followers the coins had vanished in an instant.
He said he downloaded what appeared to be the Ledger Live app — a self-custody crypto application — from Apple&#8217;s App Store on a new MacBook. The app was fake. Once inside, it prompted him to enter his seed phrase. He did. The money was gone.
&#8220;I been in the crypto circus since 2017,&#8221; he wrote in a follow-up post. &#8220;Today they caught me off guard. It was my own damn fault for not being more diligent. But let it serve as a warning. There&#8217;s so many scams.&#8221;
Blockchain investigator ZachXBT traced the stolen funds shortly after, finding that the Bitcoin had been moved to deposit addresses tied to the crypto exchange KuCoin across nine separate transactions.
I had a really tough day today I lost my retirement fund in a hack/Scam when I switched my @Ledger over to my new computer and by accident downloaded a malicious ledger app from the @Apple store. All my BTC gone in an instant.
— G. Love (@glove) April 11, 2026
KuCoin responded to ZachXBT&#8217;s post with a statement typically addressed to its customers. Dutton did not disclose which link led him to the fraudulent download.
Fake Wallet Apps Have Fooled People Before
This is not the first time scammers have pulled off this exact move. Back in 2023, a counterfeit version of the Ledger Live app appeared on Microsoft&#8217;s app store and drained nearly $600,000 from multiple users before it was removed.
Hi I traced out your 5.92 BTC stolen and it was all laundered via @kucoincom deposit addresses in the following transactions:
6f5c8eb6b01774626f33527e0cb03c0d1860447acacd6079e69bf41b459bcf1f

— ZachXBT (@zachxbt) April 12, 2026
Microsoft later acknowledged the app had made it through its review process undetected. Apple had not responded to a request for comment.
Bitcoin Losses Across The Country Keep Growing
Dutton&#8217;s case is one piece of a much larger problem. According to the US Federal Bureau of Investigation, Americans lost more than $11 billion to crypto-related fraud in 2025 — up from $9 billion the year before.
Seed phrases are the master keys of self-custody crypto wallets. No legitimate wallet application asks users to type one into a screen. That&#8217;s the line Dutton crossed without realizing it — and by the time he did, there was nothing left to recover.

The Ripple CEO alluded to the current regulatory landscape and how it could drive BTC to this psychological level. 
Ripple CEO’s Comments About Bitcoin Resurface
XRP pundits COACHTY and XRP Queen drew attention to a FOX interview by the Ripple CEO, in which he predicted last year that Bitcoin could reach $200,000. He noted that this was an upgrade from his earlier prediction of $175,000. Garlinghouse explained that he believed a BTC rally to $200,000 was not ‘unreasonable’ given the current regulatory landscape. 
The Ripple CEO stated that people underestimate how the United States, the world&#8217;s largest economy, has gone from a headwind to a tailwind. It is worth noting that Garlinghouse was responding to a question highlighting that Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson had predicted Bitcoin could reach $250,000 by year-end 2025. 
However, the Ripple CEO didn’t provide a timeline for when Bitcoin could reach $200,000, which means his prediction remains valid. The focus is currently on the CLARITY Act, which pundits have predicted could spark the next bull run for Bitcoin and the broader crypto market when it passes. 
One of these pundits includes Fergani, who recently predicted that Bitcoin could rally to $200,000, in line with the CEO’s prediction, partly thanks to the CLARITY Act. The pundit also noted that institutional interest in crypto is increasing, which will also contribute to this rally to a new all-time high (ATH) for the leading crypto. The CLARITY Act is also expected to boost crypto adoption by providing regulatory certainty for institutional investors, who remain on the sidelines. 
Garlinghouse Fails To Give XRP Prediction
The Ripple CEO said that he could not give an XRP prediction because the altcoin is too “close to home,” alluding to his company’s massive XRP holdings. Ripple also notably uses XRP for the majority of its operations, including its payment services, as a bridge currency. However, it is worth noting that Garlinghouse has become more vocal about XRP since the settlement of the SEC lawsuit last year. 
On several occasions this year, the CEO has described XRP as their “North Star,” highlighting how important the token is to their operations. At the start of the year, he also reiterated that XRP has always and will remain the heartbeat of their vision. As part of this vision, it is worth noting that Ripple recently integrated XRP and RLUSD into Ripple Treasury, marking the first native on-chain enterprise treasury.
At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $1.32, down in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Bitcoin Realized Profit Crossed $20M/Hour During Rally
In a new post on X, on-chain analytics firm Glassnode has talked about the latest trend in the Bitcoin Realized Profit, which is an indicator that measures, as its name suggests, the total amount of profit that BTC addresses/investors are realizing through their transactions.
Below is the chart shared by Glassnode that shows how the 24-hour simple moving average (SMA) of this Bitcoin metric has fluctuated over the last few months.
As is visible in the graph, the 24-hour SMA of the Bitcoin Realized Profit has seen a couple of spikes of a notable scale during the last few days. The spikes came as BTC recovered from its recent lows and broke back above the $73,000 level. Thus, it would appear that investors took the recovery opportunity to exit with profits.
During the spikes, profit-taking exceeded $20 million per hour. Since this investor is selling, BTC has retraced back below $71,000, indicating that the profit realization likely played a role in the rally topping out.
This is actually a pattern that has been witnessed a few times during the recent consolidation range already. &#8220;Every approach to the $70k–$ 80k band faces thin liquidity and profit-taking pressure, capping the bounce,&#8221; noted the analytics firm. Given that the latest rally has also been obstructed by profit-taking, it would appear that fresh liquidity capable of absorbing the selling pressure is still absent from the market.
The continued sideways movement from Bitcoin has meant that a chunk of the userbase has remained stuck underwater. As Glassnode has pointed out in another X post, a huge number of addresses on the BTC blockchain continue to be in loss.
As displayed in the above graph, the Bitcoin Number of Addresses in Loss, an indicator tracking wallets holding coins at a net unrealized loss, has seen some temporary declines alongside price surges, but as BTC has failed to maintain any recovery, the indicator has kept touching high levels.
Currently, there are 13.5 million addresses sitting in a loss. &#8220;This indicates that a meaningful portion of the network acquired coins above the current spot price,&#8221; explained the analytics firm. In the scenario that BTC&#8217;s current pullback continues, the metric could reach back to the highs above 16 million from earlier in the year.
BTC Price
Bitcoin is back at $70,800 following its pullback over the weekend.

Paraguay and Ethiopia have emerged as top destinations, both offering surplus hydroelectric power that keeps electricity bills low.
According to crypto exchange KuCoin, the shift is already underway, with hash rate actively migrating toward what analysts are calling the &#8220;Global South.&#8221;
That geographic spread, KuCoin argues, actually strengthens the Bitcoin network by reducing its exposure to any one country&#8217;s political or energy shocks.
It is a different kind of decentralization — not the kind Satoshi Nakamoto imagined, but decentralization just the same.
The Opposite Paths Of Two Technologies
While Bitcoin mining grows more concentrated in terms of hardware and industrial scale, artificial intelligence may be moving the other way.
Alex Thorn, head of research at Galaxy, made that case on Sunday, pointing out that AI started its life in massive, corporate-controlled data centers.
bitcoin mining began decentralized (CPUs, GPUs) and became centralized (ASICs, industrial-scale farms)
AI may follow the opposite path: it started centralized in giant hosted clusters, but as frontier model gains slow (from data scarcity, context limits, and memory bottlenecks)… pic.twitter.com/J2indQsTt8
— Alex Thorn (@intangiblecoins) April 12, 2026
Now, as frontier models run into constraints — data scarcity, memory limits, context bottlenecks — open-source alternatives are gaining ground. Smaller models are getting cheaper and more capable. Some already run directly on phones and laptops.
&#8220;If local models keep getting smaller, cheaper, and more efficient, AI may become increasingly personal and on-device,&#8221; Thorn said.
Bitcoin mining started the opposite way. Ordinary people once mined coins from home computers. That era is long gone.
Today, mining requires either specialized ASIC hardware or access to an industrial-scale facility. The gap between a casual participant and a serious miner has never been wider.
A $119 Billion Market Taking Shape
The push toward on-device AI processing has a name: edge computing. It refers to running AI models locally — on the device itself — rather than routing data to a remote server.
Data shows the global edge AI market was valued at roughly $25 billion in 2025. Based on projections from Grand View Research, that figure is expected to reach close to $120 billion by 2033, a jump of nearly 300% over eight years.
The growth is being driven by the spread of connected devices, demand for real-time processing, and growing concern over data privacy. Industries that cannot afford delays — manufacturing, healthcare, logistics — are among those pushing adoption forward.
For Bitcoin, the concern runs in the other direction. Increasing concentration of mining power raises questions about long-term network security.
A network where just a handful of large players control most of the hash rate is more vulnerable to disruption than one spread across thousands of independent operators.
Geographically, the migration away from the US may ease some of that pressure. Whether it is enough remains an open question.

This comes after the market sentiment shifted as the Bitcoin price began to surge last week and then eventually claimed the $70,000 resistance, turning it into support again. Despite a lot of Bitcoin investors turning bullish off of this, the crypto analyst is still not convinced, believing that the current uptrend us actually only temporary.
Why The Bitcoin Price Is Still Bearish Despite Reaching $73,000
Last week, the Bitcoin price surged high, rising more than 5% and reaching $73,000 before meeting resistance. This has naturally led to more positive sentiment after weeks of negative sentiment, bringing a much-needed relief rally to investors who have suffered major losses.
Despite this, Captain Faibik does not believe that this calls for celebration and is instead choosing a very conservative stance. As for the current uptrend, the crypto analyst believes it could eventually continue, putting a possible peak right between $77,000 and $78,000 due to the liquidity there.
Other than this liquidity grab, there seems to be nothing else suggesting that the bitcoin price has turned bullish. Even after the push upward to get liquidity, the next direction is expected to be downward, triggering a possible 20% correction in this regard. This correction, as the analyst explains, could lead the price to push back into the $54,000-$56,000 area.
If this trend does play out and the price does push this low, it could mean a new cycle low for the digital asset. This will erase the current cycle support, which still lies at $60,000. Nevertheless, the crypto analyst points this out as a possible play, saying that the bears are actually still in control of the Bitcoin price.
Despite being bearish on Bitcoin, the crypto analyst remains bullish on the altcoin market. He explains that while stabling most of his funds, a good chunk (30%) is currently sitting in the altcoin market, which the analyst expects to be be more bullish than Bitcoin from here. According to the analyst, investors need to be patient and wait for confirmation first before making a move.

Sun Claims His Wallet Was Frozen First
Tron founder Justin Sun, who poured more than $100 million into the project across two separate investments, went public on X with a pointed accusation: that WLFI quietly built a backdoor into its smart contract infrastructure — one that lets the team freeze, restrict, or block access to user funds without warning.
I have always been an ardent supporter of President Trump and his crypto friendly policy.
As an early supporter who invested heavily in World Liberty Financial, I did so because I believed in the vision that was presented to the public: a decentralized finance platform that…
— H.E. Justin Sun (@justinsuntron) April 12, 2026
Sun said he was not just a critic watching from the outside. His own crypto wallet was blacklisted in 2025, he claimed, making him the project&#8217;s first and largest victim. He called the feature the opposite of what decentralized finance is supposed to stand for.
WLFI has not issued a formal public response to the allegations.
Borrowed Millions Against Its Own Tokens
The hidden control accusation arrived alongside a separate controversy that had already been gaining attention. According to blockchain analytics firm Arkham Intelligence, WLFI deposited close to 2 billion of its own tokens into the Dolomite lending protocol and borrowed more than $31 million in stablecoins against them.
The project now accounts for roughly 55% of Dolomite&#8217;s total liquidity — a concentration that has raised eyebrows among observers tracking the platform&#8217;s exposure.
Earlier transactions pointed in a similar direction. Reports indicate WLFI put up $14 million worth of its in-house stablecoin, USD1, to borrow $11.4 million USDC in February.
Another $12.5 million in USD1 was moved directly to Coinbase Prime, bypassing the lending system entirely. In total, on-chain data shows the project used approximately 5 billion of its self-issued tokens to pull in around $75 million in outside liquidity — a structure critics have compared to circular financing.
Token Price Slides As Pressure Mounts
The market has not been kind. WLFI&#8217;s token dropped below $0.08 and has shed more than 20% over the past 30 days. With the USD1 lending pool running at near-full capacity, users looking to withdraw face tightening conditions.
Reports also note that 3 billion WLFI tokens were moved during the first week of April, adding to the unease.
Sun ended his public statement with a demand: unlock the tokens, and operate with transparency. Whether the team acts on that — or responds at all — remains to be seen.

A new statement from Brian Armstrong has added new weight to calls for Congress to move the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, just as pressure is coming from Washington to bring the bill back into focus.
Treasury Steps In As Urgency Builds In Washington
One of the most consequential voices in American crypto just changed sides. Brian Armstrong, CEO of crypto exchange Coinbase, declared on social media that it is time to pass the Clarity Act, publicly endorsing the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025 in a post on X, the same legislation he had twice rejected previously.
The comment by Armstrong is in response to a forceful Wall Street Journal opinion piece by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and is one of the first few signs that the legislative standoff over US crypto market structure may finally be reaching its end.
Discussions around the CLARITY Act increased after Scott Bessent publicly called on lawmakers to act, noting that the United States risks falling behind in shaping the future of digital finance without clear regulations. In the opinion piece, Bessent mentioned how Congress has already spent years attempting to define how digital assets should be treated and that the time for debate is running out.
The Treasury Secretary also noted the difference in other jurisdictions with clearer regulatory rules, such as Abu Dhabi and Singapore. Therefore, passing the CLARITY Act is important to bringing back blockchain developers and crypto entrepreneurs to the United States after much of the industry relocated to these countries.
&#8220;There is one way to give developers and entrepreneurs the comfort to reshore: durable law,” he said.
The piece also connected the CLARITY Act to its predecessor, the GENIUS Act, the stablecoin framework that President Trump signed into law in July 2025. The Genius Act proved that progress is possible, but the progress cannot be fully realized without support from the CLARITY Act.
Armstrong Expresses Support
Armstrong responded to Bessent opinion, noting how it is time to pass the Clarity Act. 
&#8220;Grateful for all the bipartisan work among Senators and staff over the past several months to make this a strong bill,&#8221; the Coinbase CEO said.
Armstrong’s response to Bessent’s remarks is a notable turn for Coinbase, which has played a complicated role in the bill’s journey to being passed. In January 2026, he publicly withdrew Coinbase&#8217;s support for the Senate Banking Committee&#8217;s draft, stating that the version was materially worse than the current regulatory status quo and that Coinbase would rather have no bill than a bad one. 
SEC Chair Paul Atkins also backed the Treasury Secretary’s comments, stating in a post on X how it&#8217;s high time for Congress to future-proof against rogue regulators and advance comprehensive market structure legislation to US President Donald Trump’s desk.

An interesting on-chain analysis of on-chain data points to a change in how capital is moving across the market, with money that previously rotated into stablecoins beginning to edge back into Bitcoin. 
That change is still small, but it is arriving as BTC recently reached an intraday high of $73,720 and as macro fears tied to the US-Iran conflict are changing.
The Defensive Phase Is Starting To Fade
Bitcoin&#8217;s market structure has been telling a story of restraint for many months. Capital moved to the sidelines, and stablecoins got bigger. Notably, the Bitcoin realized cap, a measure of the aggregate cost basis of all coins in circulation, plunged deep into negative territory, which is a sign that the market had absorbed significant unrealized losses. 
This Bitcoin realized cap is the premise of the capital rotation setup, which was shared in a technical analysis by a crypto analyst that goes by the name Darkfost.
At the end of February, Bitcoin’s realized cap change fell to about negative $28.7 billion, which is one of the signs that capital tied to the cryptocurrency had moved into a deeply defensive posture. At the same time, stablecoin market capitalization grew by more than $6 billion, showing that investors were moving funds still in the crypto market instead of keeping that exposure in Bitcoin. According to the analyst, it was the first time this kind of rotation had appeared since the last bear-market phase.
However, the tide may be quietly changing, and the timing of that change has not gone unnoticed. Darkfost’s updated reading shows Bitcoin’s realized cap change recovering to about negative $3 billion, while stablecoin capitalization has fallen to around negative $1 billion. 
This means that capital that had been parked on the sidelines appears to be moving back out of shelter and into Bitcoin again. The move is not large enough yet to call it a full risk-on reversal, but it does suggest that investor positioning is no longer as defensive as it was just weeks ago.
Capital Rotation Net Position Change
Price Action And ETF Flows Support The Recovery Story
Perhaps the most striking element of this observation is the timing. The early stages of capital re-exposure to Bitcoin began when geopolitical tensions had not been fully resolved.
US Spot Bitcoin ETFs received $471.32 million in net inflows on April 6 alone, the strongest single day in almost three months, precisely as global markets were absorbing the uncertainty of a US-Iran ceasefire deadline. Bitcoin is currently trading near $71,746, after reaching an intraday high of $73,720, which keeps it close to a sustained recovery in the new week.
If capital keeps rotating out of stablecoins and back into BTC, then the on-chain setup suggests the recovery rally may have room to continue.

Active Addresses Trends Reveal Changes In User Activity
In a Quicktake post on CryptoQuant, Crazzyblockk highlights readings obtained from the 30-Day Change In Exchange Active Addresses metric. For context, this metric tracks how much the number of unique active addresses interacting with exchanges has increased or decreased over the past 30 days. By extension, it also helps to indicate whether exchange usage (and thus trading activity) is rising or falling.
According to Crazzyblockk, there has been a widespread shrinkage in active addresses across several exchanges, both relative to and percentage-wise. The analyst explains this is a sign that these addresses (which are known for their unique transactions) are interacting progressively less than they used to. By extension, this situation makes liquidity increasingly scarce over time. However, more than just liquidity would be affected by this dynamic; the crypto pundit expects this to further translate as less capital movement and thinner order flow, which would ultimately result in less efficient execution environments.
&amp;
Stronger Circulation Of Capital
Interestingly, the case is directly opposite on Binance, the world’s leading exchange by trading volume. On Binance, Crazzyblockk says there is an evident positive change in both absolute and relative terms. Because the metric tracks bidirectional activity, the quant explains that the growth recorded “reflects stronger circulation of capital rather than one-sided movement,” and that it also “suggests that user activity is not only entering but also continuously interacting within the platform.”
Hence, the dynamic on Binance appears to be a redistribution event rather than a flat-out decline in market activity. In this case, market involvement is more accurately described as moving towards exchanges capable of handling higher levels of interaction. Interestingly, this could strengthen the overall structure of the crypto market. As Crazzyblockk explains, “higher active address density typically aligns with deeper liquidity and stronger price discovery.” Thus, if the historical pattern holds during the current cycle, the crypto market at large could be in the early stages of an uptrend.
At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price stands at $71,600, recording a 1.84% downside move over the past 24 hours. Performing similarly to the world’s leading cryptocurrency, Ethereum is valued at $2,218. According to data from CoinMarketCap, the second-largest cryptocurrency has declined by only 0.5% since the past day.

That came as the broader push for the bill picked up new urgency from lawmakers and industry figures who fear the window for action is closing fast.
Deadline Pressure Builds
US Senator Cynthia Lummis said the country may not get another serious shot at the bill before 2030.
In a post on X on Friday, she said this was the “last chance” to pass the CLARITY Act until at least that year and warned against letting the country’s financial future slip away.
This is our last chance to pass the Clarity Act until at least 2030. We can’t afford to surrender America’s financial future.
— Senator Cynthia Lummis (@SenLummis) April 10, 2026
Her warning landed at a sensitive moment. Industry participants have grown more uneasy about the bill’s prospects this year, with November midterm elections threatening to shift congressional priorities and slow work on crypto legislation.
Lummis’ comments framed the fight as one that cannot sit on the shelf much longer.
David Sacks, the former White House AI and crypto czar, echoed that view a day earlier. He said Senate Banking, followed by the full Senate, should pass market-structure legislation and said he believes US President Donald Trump would sign it into law.
The GENIUS Act, signed by President Trump last year, established U.S. leadership on stablecoins.
The CLARITY Act, also known as market structure legislation, would do the same for all other digital assets by providing clear rules of the road.
Secretary Bessent is right: the… https://t.co/rBkE9b5Usq
— David Sacks (@DavidSacks) April 9, 2026
Industry Push Gathers Steam
The pressure is not coming from lawmakers alone. Chris Dixon, a16z Crypto’s managing partner, said rules that are clearly defined help both consumers and entrepreneurs.
That line has become a common argument inside the industry, where many firms say clearer oversight would help the US pull in more innovation and more retail demand for crypto assets.
That view has spread across different corners of the sector. Immutable founder Robbie Ferguson said on April 3 that the CLARITY Act could make the past decade of gaming growth look small by comparison.
Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong also shifted his tone on Friday, saying it was time for the bill to move after months of delays.
Stablecoin Fight Still Looms
Even with that momentum, a key problem remains. Grewal said on April 2 that the bill may be close to a Senate Banking Committee markup, but he also said the path forward depends on agreement over stablecoin yield.
That issue has kept the legislation from moving cleanly, even as support has built among companies and some regulators.
Regulators are now adding their voices too. SEC Chairman Paul Atkins said the time had come for Congress to move market-structure legislation to Trump’s desk and to protect the system from what he called rogue regulators.
The CLARITY Act has since become a test of whether Washington can settle crypto rules before the political calendar closes in.

Bitwise Updates List Of Countertrading Parties In Hyperliquid ETF Filing
On Friday, April 10th, Bitwise submitted its second amendment to its spot Hyperliquid with the SEC, introducing new names to the list of approved trading counterparties ahead of an imminent launch in the US. This latest filing included FalconX, Flowdesk, Nonco, and Wintermute as approved trading counterparties for the asset manager.
Earlier in its first amendment filing in December 2025, Bitwise revealed the fund&#8217;s BHYP ticker, an annual management fee of 0.67%, and a proposal to generate additional profit through HYPE staking. Also, the asset management fund had listed three trading counterparties at the time, including A1 (now dropped off), Nonco, and Solios (disclosed as a d/b/a of FalconX).
In a post on the social media platform, Bloomberg senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas highlighted the second amendment filing, saying that this latest update suggests that the fund&#8217;s launch might be imminent. Despite competition from two other asset managers, Bitwise looks set to win the race for the first spot ETF linked to Hyperliquid&#8217;s native token, HYPE.
21Shares followed with an application of its own to launch a Hyperliquid ETF in October 2025, while Grayscale submitted its own filing in late March 2026. Upon approval (which looks like a matter of when rather than if), Bitwise&#8217;s HYPE ETF will debut on the NYSE Arca stock exchange and offer investors exposure to the spot price of Hyperliquid.
HYPE Price Overview
Despite the raging market uncertainty this year, Hyperliquid&#8217;s native token HYPE has been one of the best performers so far. In fact, it can be said that the decentralized perpetual futures trading protocol has been one of the major winners from the Middle East tensions, as traders looked to gain market exposure even outside of regular trading hours.
Data from CoinGecko shows that the price of HYPE is up by more than 65% year-to-date and almost 200% in the past full year. As bullish momentum returned to the cryptocurrency market his week, investors have seen the altcoin&#8217;s price reclaim the $40 mark, jumping by nearly 20% in the past week.
As of this writing, the price of HYPE sits just beneath $43, reflecting a nearly 3% jump in the past 24 hours.

Underneath this price action, fresh on-chain and market structure data point to a deeper shift in liquidity dynamics.
OTC Dominance In Bitcoin Transactions Signals Potential Supply Shock 
In a QuickTake post on April 11, market analyst GugaOnChain shares recent data from the “Bitcoin: OTC vs Exchange Dominance Share (24h %)” indicator, showing that OTC transactions now account for 82.26% of total settlement volume, placing the market firmly within the “Institutional Alert Zone” (80–90%).
Out of a total daily settlement volume of 706,000 BTC, valued at approximately $51.5 billion, only about 17.14% flowed through traditional centralized exchange (CEX) order books. This imbalance shows that public liquidity on exchanges is drying up, with large players increasingly inclined to trade off-market.
Considering this development, GugaOnChain warns traders against taking short positions in the current environment. This is because the dominance of OTC accumulation suggests a potential supply shock; therefore, any spike in spot demand can trigger sharp and violent upward price movements that would liquidate such bearish positions. 
To validate that this OTC activity reflects genuine accumulation rather than distribution, the seasoned analyst introduces additional data from the “Bitcoin: Exchange Inflow – Spent Output Age Bands” metric. The findings here showed that only 94.68 BTC of coins older than six months were deposited into exchanges over the last 24 hours. Compared to the 706,000 BTC moved across the network during the same period, this indicates that long-term holders remain largely inactive and are not selling into current price strength.

Coinbase Dominates Residual Exchange Flows
Within the remaining 17.14% of trading activity on centralized exchanges, GugaOnChain sheds further light on capital distribution, thereby reinforcing institutional influence. American exchange Coinbase leads decisively, accounting for 58.21% of all CEX flows. Its dominance is closely tied to its role as custodian for 8 of the 11 U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs, making it a primary gateway for institutional capital.
Binance follows with 22.13%, maintaining its position as the largest global exchange by volume, though its user base remains more retail-driven. Meanwhile, Kraken captures 6.44% of flows, reflecting its focus on regulatory compliance and institutional clients, albeit at a smaller scale. Together, this distribution highlights a market increasingly shaped by institutional players, both on and off exchanges.

According to an on-chain analyst, investors are beginning to increase their exposure to the world&#8217;s largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization.
Are Investors Using BTC As A Hedge Against Inflation?
In a recent post on the X platform, pseudonymous market pundit Darkfost shared that a behavioral shift among Bitcoin investors is occurring at the moment. The crypto analyst revealed that this trend can be observed through the rotation of liquidity over the past few weeks.
Highlighting data from Checkonchain, Darkfost based their analysis on the Capital Rotation Net Position Change, which measures the flow of funds between major cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, in this case), stablecoins, and fiat currencies. This metric tracks whether investors are moving their capital into riskier assets (risk-on sentiment) or to risk-free assets (flight-to-safety sentiment).
In addition, the Capital Rotation Net Position Change metric calculates the 30-day net change in the digital asset&#8217;s realized capitalization. According to Darkfost&#8217;s post, Bitcoin&#8217;s realized cap fell to an extreme low of -$28.7 billion at the end of February.
At the same time, while BTC&#8217;s realized cap dwindled, the stablecoin market capitalization began to steadily increase, reaching more than $6 billion. This rise in the stablecoin market cap reflects a clear intention from investors to protect their capital, while its coincidence with Bitcoin&#8217;s realized cap drop marks the first time for such a rotation since the previous bear market.
According to Darkfost, this behavior seems to be experiencing a gradual shift, with the Bitcoin realized cap recovering to -$3 billion, while stablecoin capitalization declined to -$1 billion. This shift suggests that investors are slowly starting to re-expose themselves to the market, which can be seen in BTC&#8217;s recent price action.
Darkfost added:
For now, this remains a modest development, but if this dynamic continues, Bitcoin could potentially extend the ongoing recovery rally. It is all the more interesting to observe that this dynamic began to emerge precisely as uncertainties surrounding the Iran conflict were reaching their peak.
The analyst concluded that it appears that some investors are starting to view Bitcoin as a hedge against inflationary and macroeconomic risk, especially in the current global market landscape.
Bitcoin Price At A Glance
As of this writing, the price of BTC stands at around $72,800, reflecting no significant change in the past 24 hours. According to data from CoinGecko, the premier cryptocurrency is up by more than 8% on the weekly timeframe.

From tokenized bonds and funds to real estate and treasuries, ETH has become the preferred infrastructure for institutions looking to bring traditional assets on-chain.
Institutional Capital Accelerates Ethereum Adoption
In a recent X post, The Etherealize revealed that Ethereum is rapidly emerging as the dominant layer for tokenized treasury products, with over $22.5 billion in fund assets already tokenized on the network, representing roughly 71.9% of the total market share across all blockchains.
The momentum is being driven by industry heavyweights like JPMorgan Chase, which launched its MONY market fund on ETH in early 2026, joining established offerings such as BlackRock&#8217;s BUIDL and Franklin Templeton&#8217;s on-chain money fund. These are institutional-grade treasury management products. These products are suited for autonomous agents with idle capital needs operating on permissionless infrastructure, allowing agents to access the system without a brokerage account.
Ethereum is steadily evolving into the most viable financial layer for autonomous agents managing real capital. The Etherealize has also mentioned that an autonomous agent with a $500,000 treasury will need a stable requirements money market fund with a predictable yield, deep liquidity, minimal smart contract risk, and no centralized counterparty that can freeze or seize its assets. This is where the ETH DeFi ecosystem is beginning to stand out, and it meets these criteria.
The hacks and losses persist, but they are increasingly rare and concentrated at the speculative edges of the ecosystem. A stable core of application has proven remarkably robust through repeated stress events, and that track record shows what other chains can&#8217;t replicate. This growing stability is reflected in the declining share of DeFi losses relative to total value locked (TVL) on the ETH mainnet.
How Institutional DeFi Moves Beyond Experimentation
The tokenized finance could see a defining moment, one that markets may only fully appreciate in hindsight. Marc Baumann, the Founder of fiftyonexyz, has pointed out that Broadridge Financial Solutions has already processed over $8 trillion per month in tokenized repo settlements and has now taken a critical step beyond settlement by enabling real on-chain governance for tokenized equity.
At the same time, Galaxy Digital is serving as the staking provider for BlackRock’s ETHB staked Ethereum ETF, linking institutional capital directly into blockchain infrastructure. Together, these firms are involved in enabling the first on-chain shareholder vote for tokenized equity.
Baumann explained that the proxy voting market is estimated at $200 billion, and traditional players such as custodians, transfer agents, and proxy solicitors should pay attention, as the infrastructure for a new financial layer of institutional DeFi is being built by firms that already run on Wall Street. Rather than emerging from a purely crypto-native startup, the transformation is being driven by the same companies that process 401(K).

The US legislators will be returning to Capitol Hill next week, as they look to pass the bill before the end of the month.
Treasury Secretary Calls US Senate Banking Committee To Action
Over the past week, individuals and stakeholders from different quarters of the government and private sector have been weighing in on the crypto market structure bill, the CLARITY Act. These conversations have swirled around negotiations over how to treat stablecoin rewards, as the US lawmakers return to Washington DC next week.
The bill, which has been on the table of the Senate Banking Committee since January, has been stalled by concerns over ethics, tokenized equities, stablecoin yield, and other crypto-related issues. However, the Senate Banking Committee is expected to reconvene and hold a hearing to vote on the bill before the end of the month.
According to a study conducted by White House economists, it was found that stablecoin rewards, the primary issue with the CLARITY Act, are unlikely to have a significant impact on bank lending or the broader credit market. At the same time, top White House officials have continued to push for the passage of the crypto bill.
In his latest attempt on Wednesday, April 8th, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent released an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal, calling on the lawmakers to pass the crypto market structure bill.
The Treasury Secretary&#8217;s opening read:
The U.S. has long shaped financial markets. Clear rules, credible enforcement, and a willingness to adapt to innovation have made the American approach to market regulation the world standard. But maintenance of this leadership is far from guaranteed. To preserve it and rise to the challenge before us, Congress must pass the Clarity Act. Senate floor time is scarce, and now is the time to act.
In a Thursday follow-up post on the social media platform X, Bessent said that it is time for the Senate Banking Committee to hold a markup and send the CLARITY Act to the US President Donald Trump&#8217;s desk.
Coinbase CEO Says It&#8217;s Time To Pass CLARITY Act
Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, in a response to Bessent&#8217;s post on X, said he agrees with the Treasury Secretary&#8217;s opinion piece and that it is time for the crypto market bill to pass. &#8220;Grateful for all the bipartisan work among Senators and staff over the past several months to make this a strong bill,&#8221; the crypto CEO wrote.
Armstrong’s latest endorsement of the bill comes about three months after his company threatened to pull support for the crypto market structure legislation “as written.” However, procedures regarding this bill&#8217;s passage appear to be clearing up now, as the US looks to take a lead in cryptocurrency regulation.
