A Calculated Move In Federal Court
The former FTX chief executive filed a letter Wednesday in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York, withdrawing a Rule 33 motion he had been pursuing to overturn his conviction.
The withdrawal, he made clear, is not final. He dropped the motion without prejudice, meaning he can bring it back after his appeal and his separate request to have a different judge assigned to the case are resolved.
Bankman-Fried, 32, is currently held at the Federal Correctional Institution in Lompoc, California, where he is serving a 25-year sentence handed down after his 2023 conviction on fraud and related charges tied to the collapse of FTX.
At its peak, the crypto exchange was one of the largest in the world.
His decision to pull the motion came after Judge Lewis Kaplan ordered him to explain whether lawyers had helped him draft an earlier filing — a pro se document, meaning one submitted without formal legal representation.
Federal prosecutors had raised doubts about whether Bankman-Fried had written the filing on his own, particularly after his mother, Barbara Fried, sent her own letter to the court. She had no legal standing to do so.
Questions About Who Wrote What
In his Wednesday response, Sam Bankman-Fried said he consulted with his parents while writing the letter but described himself as the &#8220;ultimate author of the documents.&#8221;
He said the need to respond to the court&#8217;s questions had taken time away from preparing a fuller response to prosecutors opposing his new trial request. That, combined with his stated belief that Judge Kaplan would not treat the matter fairly, led him to withdraw the motion.
His bid to have Kaplan removed from the case predates Wednesday&#8217;s filing. Back in February, Bankman-Fried asked a court to assign a different judge to rule on his new trial request, accusing Kaplan of showing &#8220;extreme prejudice.&#8221;
That request remains active. So does his appeal of both his conviction and his sentence, which is pending before the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.
Sam Bankman-Fried: Pardon Talk Has Done Little To Help His Cause
Outside the courtroom, Bankman-Fried has made no secret of his interest in a presidential pardon. According to reports, he has posted publicly praising US President Donald Trump&#8217;s crypto-related policies and his administration&#8217;s military moves in Iran.
But Trump has shown no sign of extending any relief. Based on reports from a January interview with The New York Times, Trump said flatly that he had no plans to pardon the convicted founder of FTX.

Bitcoin Long-Term Holder Supply Has Gone Up Over The Past Month
According to data from on-chain analytics firm CryptoQuant, Bitcoin supply has been moving into the hands of the long-term holders recently. The &#8220;long-term holders&#8221; (LTHs) here refer to the BTC investors who have been holding onto their coins since more than 155 days ago.
Statistically, the longer investors keep their tokens dormant, the less likely they become to transfer them in the future. As such, the LTHs with their relatively long holding time are considered to represent the resolute side of the market.
Now, here is a chart that shows the 30-day netflow in the supply of these Bitcoin diamond hands over the last couple of years:
As displayed in the above graph, the Bitcoin LTHs have seen their 30-day netflow sit at notable positive levels recently, suggesting that tokens have been maturing into the cohort. More specifically, 303,500 BTC entered the group over the past month.
In the second half of last year, the LTHs were participating in net distribution, and their selloff intensified as the price plunged in the fourth quarter. The pattern started to shift in January 2026, with HODLing behavior in the market ramping up during the post-February crash consolidation phase.
While this development has happened, the short-term holders (STHs), corresponding to buyers from the last five months, have naturally observed a decline in their supply.
In the same period, the spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and Strategy have also absorbed a chunk of the supply, with their holdings rising by 16,800 and 53,000 coins, respectively. Based on the trend, CryptoQuant has noted, &#8220;Bitcoin supply is moving into stronger hands.&#8221;
In some other news, the latest Bitcoin recovery rally doesn&#8217;t find spot demand at its source, as explained by CryptoQuant head of research Julio Moreno in an X post.
From the above chart, it&#8217;s visible that the change in the BTC spot demand has mostly been negative for the last few months and the latest rally hasn&#8217;t seen the trend shift. Meanwhile, the futures market has seen demand climb instead. &#8220;The recent Bitcoin price increase is completely driven by demand in the perpetual futures market,&#8221; said Moreno.
A similar pattern was witnessed during the January BTC price rally, but without spot demand, that run couldn&#8217;t last. &#8220;There are risks of a correction if traders start taking profits while spot demand continues to contract,&#8221; noted the analyst.
BTC Price
At the time of writing, Bitcoin is floating around $77,600, up 4% in the last seven days.

Sentiment Index Climbs To Highest Point Since January
That accumulation is happening against a backdrop of improving, if still cautious, market sentiment. The Alternative.me Crypto Fear &amp; Greed Index surged 14 points in a single day to reach a score of 46 out of 100 — the highest reading since January 18 and the biggest one-day jump in more than three months.
Bitcoin supply is moving into stronger hands.
Over the last 30 days:
• Long Term Holder Supply: +303K BTC
• ETF Netflows: +16.8K BTC
• Strategy: +53.0K BTC
And meanwhile:
• Short Term Holder Supply: -290K BTC pic.twitter.com/LeoKkZ3MMq
— CryptoQuant.com (@cryptoquant_com) April 22, 2026
The score remains in the &#8220;Fear&#8221; zone, where it has been stuck since mid-January, but the speed of the move caught attention across trading circles. Bitcoin itself held near $78k after briefly climbing to $79,500, a gain of roughly 5% over a 20-hour window.
The index score of 46 sits just below the neutral threshold of 50. Getting there matters, but the market still has ground to cover.
Futures Market Leads The Push
Not all of the momentum behind Bitcoin&#8217;s rise came from the same place. According to CryptoQuant&#8217;s analysis, the rally was driven entirely by demand in the perpetual futures market.
Spot demand — buying on actual exchanges rather than through derivatives — has been contracting, albeit slowly. CryptoQuant flagged that a price correction could follow if traders begin taking profits while spot interest remains weak.
Speculative rally: The recent Bitcoin price increase is completely driven by demand in the perpetual futures market. Meanwhile, spot demand is still contracting (although at a slower pace).
The same happened on January, when Bitcoin peaked at $98K.

Perp-driven moves without matching spot activity have historically been short-lived, and that pattern is worth watching here.
Strategy, the company formerly known as MicroStrategy, has been among the most aggressive buyers, snapping up 53,000 Bitcoin over the past month alone.
Reports from CryptoQuant indicate the broader supply shift points to coins moving from short-term to long-term holders — a sign, analysts say, that the asset is finding a more stable base of ownership.
Retail Traders Yet To Return In Force
One notable gap in the recovery is retail participation. Bitwise chief investment officer Matt Hougan has said publicly that everyday traders have not returned to the market at the same volumes seen in previous cycles.
That matters because the Fear &amp; Greed Index draws heavily from retail-driven data points — Google search volume and social media activity related to crypto. Without a pickup in those signals, the index faces a ceiling.

However, quantum computing is now making that wall look thinner than previously assumed.  Developers at Ripple have published a detailed, four-phase roadmap to bring the XRP Ledger to full post-quantum readiness by 2028 in response to an increasing threat landscape. This is a commitment that places XRPL ahead of nearly every major blockchain network on one of the most consequential security challenges in the industry&#8217;s history.
A Four-Phase Roadmap For XRP
Ripple’s official explanation is that post-quantum readiness on XRPL is not a single patch or one amendment dropped into the codebase. As indicated by a post on the social media platform X by XRPL Validator Vet, the roadmap is structured around two parallel objectives, which are preserving the network&#8217;s operational strengths during the transition and preparing for the possibility that the quantum threat arrives earlier than expected.
Phase 1 addresses the worst case. XRPL developers intend to execute a fallback path so that users can safely move their funds if classical cryptography breaks. The team is already exploring the use of zero-knowledge proofs so that users can prove ownership in such cases. 
Phase 2 is slated for the first half of 2026, which means it is already underway. This phase involves proactive planning and experimentation of NIST-recommended quantum-resistant signature schemes against XRPL&#8217;s transaction model. 
According to J. Ayo Akinyele, Head of Engineering at RippleXDev, this process is not a single upgrade. The team is working in collaboration with Project Eleven, building a proof-of-concept hybrid post-quantum signing implementation, including validator-level testing, Devnet benchmarking, and a post-quantum custody wallet prototype. 
Phase 3, planned for the second half of 2026, will involve the exploration of post-quantum primitives. This will involve the deployment of candidate post-quantum signatures alongside existing elliptic curve signatures on Devnet for developer testing without touching the mainnet. 
Finally, phase 4 will involve a formal amendment to the XRPL ecosystem for native post-quantum cryptography and transitioning the network to quantum-resistant signatures at scale, targeting full deployment by 2028.
The Threat Is No Longer Theoretical
The threat of quantum computing against crypto networks cannot be taken lightly. A Nobel Prize-winning physicist who helped build Google&#8217;s quantum computers warned that Bitcoin could be among the earliest real-world targets of quantum attacks. Recent research shows that a sufficiently advanced quantum computer could derive a Bitcoin private key from its public key in minutes with fewer resources than previously thought. Google&#8217;s research estimates that fewer than 500,000 physical qubits could crack ECDSA-256.
The same vulnerability applies across most major blockchains, including XRPL. Every time an XRPL account signs a transaction, its public key becomes visible on-chain. In a post-quantum world, that exposure could eventually be exploited. 
According to J. Ayo Akinyele, the the network&#8217;s transition to post-quantum readiness is a fundamental architectural shift in how digital assets are secured over the long term. This transition will change key management, validator infrastructure, and how users engage with the XRP ecosystem.

The disclosure is notable not because Paparo framed BTC as a treasury asset, but because he described it as a live tool for network monitoring, protection and what he repeatedly called power projection from a computer-science perspective.
Why The US Military Is Testing Bitcoin
Paparo made the comments on April 22 during a House Armed Services Committee hearing, in an exchange published by Rep. Lance Gooden’s office. Asked what authorities and resources INDOPACOM needs to address the national security dimensions of digital assets, Paparo offered the clearest statement of the session:
“Presently, we’re in experimentation, so I’ll give you a deeper look into that. Presently, we have a node on the Bitcoin network right now. We’re not mining Bitcoin. We’re using it to monitor, and we’re doing a number of operational tests to secure and protect networks using the Bitcoin protocol.”
JUST IN: Four-star military officer Admiral Samuel Paparo confirms the USA is running a Bitcoin node.
&#8220;We have a node on the Bitcoin network right now. We&#8217;re doing a number of operational tests to secure and protect networks using the Bitcoin protocol.&#8221; pic.twitter.com/4JIOIMtlTW
— Bitcoin Magazine (@BitcoinMagazine) April 22, 2026
That comment followed a longer explanation of how he views BTC inside a military framework. Paparo told lawmakers that INDOPACOM’s interest is rooted in “cryptography, a blockchain, and reusable proof of work” as an additional tool to secure networks and project power.

He then sharpened the distinction that ran through the whole exchange: “I think this protocol is here to stay. I think the computer science of it has direct implications for the projection of power, not financial, but from a computer science standpoint, from the securing of networks. And so, I am supportive of those applications.” He added that, from a military application standpoint, his interest in Bitcoin is “as a computer science tool as a projection of power.”
The same line of reasoning surfaced again when Gooden asked about digital property rights and strategic competition. Paparo said people already use it “to protect their own digital property,” pointing again to the combination of proof-of-work, blockchain-based accountability and cryptography-based security. He said he sees “direct national security implications” in that design, while also backing anything that helps preserve US dollar dominance.
What makes the disclosure more consequential is that it did not come out of nowhere. The day before, Paparo appeared before the Senate Armed Services Committee for INDOPACOM’s FY2027 posture hearing.
As Bitcoinist reported yesterday, Paparo had already started laying out the same thesis: that BTC should be understood less as a speculative asset than as a strategic protocol. In those earlier remarks, he said BTC “shows incredible potential as a computer science tool,” called it “a valuable computer science tool as a power projection,” and argued that, “outside of the economic formulation of it,” it has “really important computer science applications for cybersecurity.”
He also described it as “a peer-to-peer, zero-trust transfer of value,” language that closely matches the framework he used a day later when he disclosed the live node and operational testing.
At press time, BTC traded at $77,689.

The cryptocurrency climbed to $78,000 over the weekend and even pushed above $79,380 in the past 24 hours. 
Technical analysis shows that in doing so, it left behind an unresolved imperfection, which is a price imbalance that markets have a well-documented tendency to revisit. 
The Weekend Rally Left Behind A Debt
Crypto analyst Minga, writing on X, identified a dynamic playing out on Bitcoin&#8217;s 4-hour candlestick timeframe chart. According to the analyst, BTC is currently in the process of filling the imbalance created over the weekend. The development visible on Minga&#8217;s chart is the formation of a head-and-shoulders pattern, which is one of the most reliable bearish reversal signals in technical analysis. 
The left shoulder and the head have already formed, and Bitcoin is now in the process of completing the right shoulder. The analyst identified a rejection zone between $76,800 and $77,400, which is shown on the chart below in red, as the area where that right shoulder is most likely to top out.
If this formation completes, it would signal a change from upward momentum into distribution, where larger players begin offloading positions. The neckline of this pattern sits around the mid-$73,000 region, which also coincides with a rising trendline that has supported price in recent sessions.
Where Does Bitcoin Go From Here?
This technical analysis proposes that the current push higher might only be a retest, and once the right shoulder is complete, the structure calls for a breakdown. The important level to watch on the way down is the previous monthly high, currently sitting at $76,053. 
According to Minga, a rejection at the $76,800 to $77,400 red box must be followed by a break below that monthly high on the subsequent revisit. Should the pattern play out as the analyst projected, the chart points toward two notable downside reference points. The first reference point is the equal low level around $70,450, which is labeled on the chart above as a liquidity target. 
Failure to break below the previous monthly high at $76,053 would invalidate the bearish scenario and give us another push toward the highs to take out the Monthly FVG above $79,000.
The second reference point is an untapped monthly imbalance of $79,388, which represents the opposing scenario. If Bitcoin instead breaks above $78,332 and acceptance is established above that level, the monthly fair value gap becomes the next logical target to the upside.
At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $77,640, just above the rejection zone between $76,800 and $77,400.

As the blockchain space grows, the Cardano network has recently emerged as the leader in terms of development, putting it at the forefront of innovation.
Developer Activity On Cardano At The Top
Cardano (ADA) has had a notable price growth since its launch in September 2017, allowing it to ride with major cryptocurrency assets in the market. However, the leading altcoin is not entirely shaped by its remarkable price growth. 
While the network has displayed robust price performances over the years, Everstake, the largest global non-custodial staking infrastructure provider, highlighted that the strongest signal is not always price, but rather development. Everstake’s purpose in sharing this data is to address those who are showing less trust in the network.
Currently, momentum is building behind Cardano as it emerges as the most active network in the blockchain space in terms of development. As the most actively developed network, Cardano is showcasing its commitment to refining its infrastructure and also broadening its capabilities. 
Thanks to a consistent flow of updates, commits, and ecosystem enhancements that demonstrate a strong emphasis on long-term scalability and functionality, the network is leading the way in innovation.
Everstake shared that the network now controls over 8.9% of the total Layer 1 share in addition to ranking as No.1 in all-time code commits in the sector, surpassing major chains like Ethereum, XRP, BNB Chain, among others. Such an achievement reflects a sustained and consistent level of building at scale.
According to Everstake, it is important to understand that this surge in development is the result of years of tireless upgrades. The Cardano network has scooped up a total of 478,100 commits across the ecosystem, pointing to ongoing protocol improvements, expanding infrastructure, and deeper ecosystem development.
Even with Ethereum’s strong development presence, Cardano&#8217;s surpassing of ETH highlights a meaningful shift in where engineering effort is concentrated. “From our perspective, this kind of compounding developer activity is one of the most reliable indicators of long-term fundamental strength,” Everstake stated.
ADA’s Price In A Multi-Year Bear Cycle
ADA’s broader trend remains in bearish conditions even as its price has experienced a brief upward move. A crypto analyst known as TradingShot on X revealed that the altcoin is still in a multi-year bear cycle after examining price action in the weekly timeframe chart.
TradingShot stated that Cardano has been within a bear cycle since December 2, 2024, while the second bearish leg of its 5-year Channel is trending downward. Based on the current weekly Bullish Divergence, ADA is positioned at the same spot as June 2022.
If it repeats the 2022 bear cycle, the price will drop sharply toward $0.1000 by the end of the year. In a technical view, the expert has predicted that the $0.10 to $0.09 range would be an ideal long-term buy zone for the upcoming bull cycle.

The technical structure suggests a breakout is being prepared rather than delayed — and fresh data from Arkham Intelligence has just added a layer of institutional context that reframes what the current consolidation may actually represent.
Three newly created wallets, identified by Arkham as likely linked to Bitmine, have just received 100,000 ETH from BitGo — approximately $233.7 million in a single transfer. The wallets are new. The custody provider is institutional. The timing is deliberate.
That kind of on-chain movement does not happen by accident. BitGo is one of the most significant institutional digital asset custodians in the industry, and transfers of this scale from institutional custody to newly created wallets typically reflect a coordinated acquisition rather than routine portfolio management. The 100,000 ETH figure alone represents a meaningful slice of Ethereum&#8217;s liquid supply — and coming on top of Bitmine&#8217;s already substantial staked position, it suggests the company&#8217;s accumulation strategy is not slowing down.
For a market consolidating just below a key resistance level, the arrival of $233 million in fresh institutional capital into newly created wallets is precisely the kind of signal that changes the structural picture. The question is what Bitmine plans to do with it next.
The World&#8217;s Largest Ethereum Treasury Keeps Getting Larger
As of April 19, 2026, Bitmine holds 4,976,485 ETH — approximately 4.12% of Ethereum&#8217;s entire circulating supply — making it the largest corporate Ethereum treasury in the world. With 3,334,637 ETH staked through its MAVAN validator network, generating approximately $221 million in annualized staking revenue, the company has built something that goes well beyond a speculative position. It is infrastructure.
What makes Bitmine&#8217;s accumulation particularly notable is when it has been happening. The firm remains one of the few large digital asset treasuries still actively buying amid the recent volatility in crypto, with most peers having slowed or halted purchases entirely. Bitmine has accelerated its acquisition pace for four consecutive weeks, scaling from a prior weekly average to more than 100,000 ETH in the most recent period — its largest single-week haul of 2026.
The conviction behind that pace is explicit. Chairman Tom Lee has publicly argued that the current crypto downturn is nearing its end, pointing to historical patterns in which crypto bear markets have coincided with equity drawdowns of at least 20% — a threshold the current cycle has not reached.
At the current pace, Bitmine could reach its stated goal of controlling 5% of Ethereum&#8217;s total supply by mid-summer 2026. Every week it buys, the available float shrinks a little further.
Ethereum Price Structure Reclaims Key Range
Ethereum is attempting to stabilize above the $2,300 level after a volatile multi-month structure that has been defined by sharp expansions followed by equally aggressive retracements. The weekly chart shows ETH recovering from the February capitulation low near $1,800, where high-volume selling marked a local exhaustion point. Since then, price has formed a series of higher lows, suggesting early-stage accumulation rather than continuation of the broader downtrend.
However, the recovery remains technically incomplete. ETH is now testing the confluence of the 100-week and 200-week moving averages, both acting as dynamic resistance in the $2,300–$2,600 range. Historically, this zone has been decisive. Previous attempts to reclaim it have failed, leading to renewed downside pressure.
Volume adds nuance. The spike during the February selloff contrasts with relatively declining volume on the recovery, indicating that the current move lacks the same level of conviction. This raises a valid question: is this a structural reversal, or simply a relief rally within a broader range?
If ETH consolidates above $2,300 and absorbs supply, the next logical target sits near $2,800. Failure to hold this level would likely reintroduce downside risk toward the $2,000 region.

In a Thursday social media post, Martinez suggested that Bitcoin may have found its bottom, pointing to three major signs that, in his view, support a bullish transition into recovery rather than another leg lower.
Why Bitcoin Could Be Past The Chaos
One of the clearest items Martinez highlighted was Bitcoin’s Sharpe Ratio, which he said fell to −43, a level that typically reflects a risk-off market stance. Yet, he added that the metric has since rebounded to roughly 20.35, signaling that the extreme volatility and uncertainty of the earlier stage may be cooling. 
For Martinez, that improvement matters because it suggests the market has already “processed” much of the chaos and is now moving toward conditions that are more favorable on a risk-adjusted basis.
The second signal in his framework was Supply Concentration, specifically through what he referred to as the Percentage Realized Cap. Martinez said that this measure has dropped below 7%, which he described as historically important. 
When the percentage is this low, he argued, it usually points to low retail activity—quiet demand from newer participants—and a market that is more concentrated among longer-term owners. 
He also said that in previous market cycles, readings like this have served as a bottoming signal, implying that selling pressure may have largely run its course and that the market’s value is being held by participants less likely to capitulate.
Hold For $96,000, Lose For $55,000
The third element Martinez focused on was what he called the Confidence Meter, using the Inter-exchange Flow Pulse. This indicator tracks Bitcoin movement between spot markets and derivative platforms. 
Martinez’s interpretation was that current flow trends show BTC moving toward derivatives, which he framed as a sign of rising conviction among traders. 
In his explanation, investors often shift coins to derivatives venues to use them as collateral for leveraged long positions. That kind of repositioning, he said, typically reflects expectations that prices will move higher.
To wrap up his bottom in argument, Martinez tied the picture together with MVRV (Market Value to Realized Value) Pricing Bands. He said Bitcoin has successfully claimed the −0.5 band, which he stated is currently sitting near $73,700. 
In this model, that level becomes the key pivot point for the current trend. Martinez laid out what happens next in simple terms: as long as $73,700 holds as support, the idea is that Bitcoin may revert back toward the mean, which he described as being around $96,000. 
But he also explained the invalidation condition. If Bitcoin loses the $73,700 support level, he said the bullish bottom thesis would likely fail, and price could slide back toward its realized price near $55,000.

However, this bullish momentum has failed to reflect in certain key areas, such as the Funding Rates, suggesting underlying weakness beneath BTC’s upward performance.
Negative Funding Rates Spike On Bitcoin
Several key indicators and metrics of Bitcoin moved into bearish territory, even as its price regains upside momentum and draws closer to the $80,000 mark. This kind of development is likely to trigger questions about the flagship asset’s renewed price strength and stability.

Alphractal, an advanced investment and on-chain data analytics platform, has underlined a sharp shift in market sentiment around Bitcoin. As reported by the platform, BTC Funding Rates have plunged to negative levels last seen in years. Specifically, the indicator just hit the most negative level since 2023. 
This severe reading indicates that traders are increasingly placing bets on additional declines, with short positions dominating the derivatives market. When funding rates drop this hard, it typically implies robust fear in the market, which can lead to sudden reversals once the trend shifts.
As seen on the 7-day Moving Average (MA) timeframe chart, the metric has fallen to -0.005%, suggesting a highly volatile condition for the asset. Prior scenarios show that this signal has been a reliable indicator for determining the Bitcoin local bottom.
In the past, every time this occurred, especially in March 2020, mid-2021, and after the FTX crash in 2022, it signaled a local bottom within 21 days. Using their Market Capitulation Oscillator, Alphractal highlighted that the metric is now in the same zone that previously flagged the 2022 generational low.
The platform has flagged the trend as an extreme positioning rather than speculative noise, which can lead to two potential scenarios. For the first scenario, Bitcoin could witness a continued rise toward the $80,000 level, clearing massive short positions along the way. 
However, the asset might undergo a pullback to the $65,000 as a result of deeper capitulation before bouncing back. Other metrics like the MCO indicator and the TBBI (Tactical Bull-Bear Sentiment Index) metric are pointing to the same signal.
How Investors Are Responding To BTC’s Price Action
In the face of a negative funding rate, Alphractal has outlined a shift in sentiment among market players. The platform’s analysis hinges on the Bitcoin Holder Sentiment metric, which has flipped from neutral levels to bullish levels.

On-chain data presently indicates that investors are becoming more confident after a period of hesitancy and conflicting signals, with more players favoring accumulation over caution. A bullish reading here usually signals improving positive expectations around future price performance.
With funding at its most negative since 2023 and Holder Sentiment flipping neutral to bullish, the question remains which indicator acts first. Currently, a short squeeze could emerge above $75,000, and capitulation might continue below this level, with BTC range-bound at the $72,000 and $76,000 zone.

The price has been range-bound for long enough that the next breakout — whenever it arrives — is likely to be significant. An Arab Chain report has just surfaced a behavioral shift in the on-chain data that adds a layer of structural context to the current stillness.
The XRP Exchange Withdrawing Transactions indicator on Binance has dropped to its lowest level since 2021. In practical terms, the number of users moving XRP off the exchange and into private wallets has fallen sharply compared to any comparable period in recent years. A behavior that was routine during previous cycles of elevated activity has nearly disappeared from the data entirely.
That kind of shift does not happen without a reason — and the reason is not always obvious from the number alone. Declining withdrawal activity can mean different things depending on the market context surrounding it. It can reflect reduced conviction among holders who are no longer motivated to take assets into self-custody. It can reflect a consolidation-phase paralysis where participants are simply waiting rather than acting. Or it can reflect the specific kind of pre-move quiet that tends to precede sharp directional shifts in markets that have been range-bound too long.
Which of those explanations fits the current XRP setup is what the data has to answer.
From 8,000 Transactions to 12. That Is Not a Decline — It Is a Near-Complete Stop
The magnitude of the withdrawal collapse is what separates this from a routine slowdown. Arab Chain&#8217;s data shows XRP withdrawal transactions on Binance falling from levels exceeding 8,000 in mid-April to approximately 12 in the latest reading. That is not a gradual reduction in activity. It is a near-complete cessation — a 99% contraction in a behavioral metric that reflects how many users are choosing to move their XRP off the exchange and into self-custody.
The interpretation the report offers is careful and honest about the ambiguity. Declining withdrawals can mean users are less interested in long-term off-exchange holdings and prefer to keep assets on the exchange for trading. It can also reflect a broader drop in participation where fewer users are doing anything at all. Neither reading is inherently bullish or bearish — but both describe a market that has stopped expressing conviction through action.
What makes the current reading particularly notable is the divergence between the withdrawal collapse and the price. XRP is holding near $1.43, showing little reaction to one of the sharpest contractions in off-exchange activity in four years. The price has not broken down. The activity has nearly disappeared. That combination — stability on the surface, near-silence underneath — describes a market in suspension rather than in motion.
Markets in suspension do not stay that way. The question is what ends the quiet.
XRP Compresses Near $1.40 as Volatility Contracts Into Decision Zone
XRP is trading in a tight consolidation range around the $1.38–$1.45 region, following a sharp breakdown earlier in the quarter that reset the broader structure. The daily chart shows that after the February capitulation, price established a base near $1.20 and has since formed a series of slightly higher lows, suggesting early stabilization but not yet a confirmed trend reversal.
The current structure reflects compression. Price is coiling just below the declining 50-day and 100-day moving averages, both of which continue to slope downward and act as dynamic resistance. Every attempt to push above the $1.45–$1.50 zone has been rejected, reinforcing it as the key level bulls must reclaim to shift momentum.
Volume has declined notably during this consolidation phase, which is consistent with a market waiting for direction rather than actively positioning. That contraction in activity typically precedes expansion, but it does not indicate direction on its own.
If XRP can break and hold above $1.50, the next target sits near $1.70–$1.80, where prior structure formed before the breakdown. On the downside, failure to hold $1.35 increases the probability of a retest of the $1.20 support zone. The range is narrowing, and the resolution is likely to be decisive.

The analyst also alluded to Bitcoin’s price action to explain why there is a massive opportunity at the current levels. 
PEPE’s TCT Model Distribution Points To Rally To $0.004
In an X post, the Composite Trader shared an accompanying chart showing that PEPE could rally to $0.004, the TCT model distribution point. The chart also showed that the meme coin could then drop to $0.0038 after this rally. The analyst also commented on the current price action, noting how the meme coin may have formed a naked low. 
The Composite Trader explained that when an altcoin puts in a naked low, it lacks the accumulative strength that is needed to deliver a sustainable reversal. As such, the focus is to monitor for deviations of the swing highs for potential bearish reversal setups. He added that the meme coin may be setting up for an extremely high-quality contextual environment for bearish reversals.
He stated that this is a possibility when the move up also creates high-quality exhaustion, with price taking the high while leaving all the lows intact. The Composite Trader also alluded to other major cryptos, like Bitcoin, and where they are currently trading, which creates a high-probability environment for massive TCT opportunities. 
Commenting on his accompanying chart, he noted that this prediction is not a ‘must-happen’ scenario but that he is just following the price action on the lower timeframe and waiting for high-quality confirmations before deciding whether to go long or short. The analyst added that PEPE can always search for swing highs higher before reversing to the downside.  
Days Away From A Massive Move
Crypto analyst Sweep stated that PEPE is days away from a massive move, with his accompanying chart indicating that the meme coin has already bottomed. However, the analyst didn’t provide a target for how high it could reach on this move to the upside. It is worth noting that the crypto market is already rebounding amid optimism that the U.S.-Iran war could end soon. 
A positive for meme coin is that crypto whales are accumulating the meme coin, likely in anticipation of a rally to the upside. On-chain analytics platform Lookonchain revealed that a particular crypto whale withdrew 800 billion PEPE, worth $3 million, from crypto exchange Coinbase. This whale is said to have withdrawn 600 billion PEPE, worth $7.32 million at the time, but is now down $5 million on their holdings. 
At the time of writing, the PEPE price is trading at around $0.000003764, down almost 3% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Both crypto exchanges rolled out perpetual futures tied to equities for non-US users earlier this year, part of a broader push toward round-the-clock, multi-asset trading. Now Thailand is adjusting its own rulebook to keep pace.
A Shift In How Licenses Are Granted
Thailand&#8217;s Securities and Exchange Commission has put forward a proposal that would allow licensed digital asset companies to apply for derivatives licenses directly, without having to set up entirely separate legal entities.
The change, now open for public comment, is part of a wider licensing revamp aimed at making it easier for crypto firms to offer futures products to retail investors. The consultation period closes May 20.
Under current rules, a crypto company that wants to offer derivatives must establish a new entity — a requirement that adds time, cost, and complexity. The proposed revision would remove that hurdle.
Companies would still need to meet additional requirements tied to conflict-of-interest management and regulatory oversight, but the structural barrier to entry would be gone.
The SEC said the changes are designed to give investors more tools for managing risk and building out their portfolios.
Global Push Behind The Proposal
Thailand&#8217;s move comes as momentum behind crypto derivatives builds across multiple markets. On Tuesday, Blockchain.com launched perpetual futures trading inside its self-custody wallet, allowing users to take leveraged positions using Bitcoin as collateral without moving funds to a third-party exchange.
The product, built on the Hyperliquid network, gives access to more than 190 markets with leverage of up to 40x.
In the US, regulatory movement is also underway. A senior official at the Commodity Futures Trading Commission said recently that the agency is working toward enabling crypto perpetual futures and could act within weeks.
Exchanges aren&#8217;t waiting. Kraken&#8217;s parent company, Payward, recently agreed to acquire Bitnomial, a US-regulated derivatives venue, with an eye toward giving American clients access to perpetual futures products once approvals come through.
Bringing Standards In Line With Global Norms
Thailand&#8217;s SEC said the proposed rules would align its derivatives exchanges and clearing houses with international standards — a detail that points to longer-term ambitions beyond just opening up licensing.
Earlier this year, the regulator also put forward separate proposals for tighter scrutiny of the funders behind crypto firms, signaling that the broader push to expand the market comes alongside a tightening of oversight at multiple levels. The licensing revamp sits within that same pattern: wider access, stricter controls.
Whether the final rules reflect that balance will depend, in part, on what the industry submits before the May 20 deadline.

Speaking in an X Space, Schwartz said Britto is not a myth or a pseudonym, but a deeply private individual whose ideas helped shape some of the ledger’s core mechanics.
XRP Mystery Deepens As David Schwartz Opens Up
The remarks matter because Britto has occupied an unusual place in XRP lore for years: central to the project’s early technical history, but almost entirely missing from its public narrative. Schwartz, who has worked alongside him, pushed back directly on the aura that has formed around that absence. “He values his privacy tremendously,” Schwartz said, before adding that Britto is “a real person, an individual person.”

Schwartz went further than that. He said Britto had attended an XRP event in public and had also appeared at a Bitcoin event in San Jose without identifying himself. According to Schwartz, Britto was upset that a photo captured even “the back of his head in the background,” a detail that underscored just how aggressively he guards his privacy. Schwartz also said he could share personal updates and that Britto is “doing really well,” but made clear that doing so “is not my place.”
That framing was notable in itself. Rather than merely confirming Britto’s existence, Schwartz tried to explain why someone so important to the XRP Ledger’s early development might still remain almost completely unseen. “He really, really, really values his privacy,” Schwartz said. “He’s chosen not to, but he is a real live human being. He actually exists. People have met him in person. He’s not mythical.”
The more revealing part of the discussion came when Schwartz turned to Britto’s technical abilities. He described Britto not simply as intelligent, but as someone whose kind of intelligence worked differently from his own. Schwartz, known for his own technical fluency, said his reasoning is something he can articulate step by step. Britto, by contrast, seemed to arrive at answers before the intermediate logic was fully verbalized.
“Arthur Britto is not like that at all,” Schwartz said. “He’s like a Mozart or something. Like Mozart doesn’t compose the same way everybody else does. He’s just better at it. Mozart has something that other people don’t have. And Arthur Britto has something that other people just don’t have.”
Schwartz then tied that assessment to specific parts of XRP Ledger design. He said “some of the core ideas about how the XRP ledger works were his,” citing the exchange functionality and auto-bridging among the areas shaped by Britto’s thinking. In Schwartz’s telling, Britto would propose a solution first, while Schwartz would reason through why it worked afterward.
“And Arthur would turn to me and say, ‘Whoa, David, slow down, slow down. I can’t keep up,’” Schwartz said. “And I’m just baffled. I’m like, it’s your idea. How could you — I could not have had the idea he had without having to go through all the reasoning behind it first. Somehow he has the idea first.”
At press time, XRP traded at $1.4228.

Karakalpakstan Opens Its Doors
Uzbekistan has designated the autonomous Republic of Karakalpakstan as the home of a new state-sanctioned mining zone called Besqala Mining Valley.
A presidential decree signed April 17 and effective April 20 sets out the rules: registered companies can mine digital assets, tap into a mix of energy sources, and sell what they mine on both domestic exchanges and foreign platforms.
The catch — all revenue must land in Uzbek bank accounts.
The United Nations Development Programme flagged Karakalpakstan in a 2025 report as a region struggling with high poverty rates and little industrial base. That context matters.
Uzbekistan isn&#8217;t placing this zone in an already-thriving area. It&#8217;s using the mining industry to push economic activity into a place that hasn&#8217;t attracted much of it on its own.

— Whale Insider (@WhaleInsider) April 22, 2026
Tax Breaks Run Through 2035
The financial terms are designed to draw serious operators. Companies granted resident status inside the zone pay no taxes until January 1, 2035. In exchange, they owe a monthly fee of 1% of their mining income to the zone&#8217;s directorate — a body set up under Karakalpakstan&#8217;s Council of Ministers.
Officials have also been told to propose updates to the national tax code within two months, so the full picture isn&#8217;t final yet.
Energy rules have also been loosened. Back in 2023, Uzbekistan required licensed mining firms to run entirely on solar power. The new decree drops that restriction.
Miners inside Besqala Mining Valley can now draw from renewable sources, hydrogen, and the national grid. Grid electricity comes at higher rates, but the option is on the table — something that wasn&#8217;t allowed before.
A Broader Investment Push Takes Shape
The mining zone isn&#8217;t a standalone move. Reports indicate Uzbekistan launched a separate tax-free zone in Karakalpakstan last November aimed at artificial intelligence and data center projects.
Under that program, foreign companies putting in $100 million or more receive full tax and duty exemptions until 2040. Officials expect that initiative alone to pull in more than $1 billion in foreign investment by 2030.
Taken together, both zones point to a deliberate strategy — use Karakalpakstan&#8217;s low-cost, underdeveloped land as bait for capital-heavy industries.
Crypto mining and data infrastructure require land, power, and regulatory clarity. Uzbekistan is betting it can supply all three.

The firm’s central argument is not that one issue alone threatens the bill, but that too many unresolved questions still need to be settled in sequence, on a calendar that is quickly tightening.
In a research note published April 22, Galaxy said the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025 is now in “endgame stage” after passing the House in July 2025 with bipartisan support and spending months in Senate negotiations. The immediate focus is the Senate Banking Committee, which had been expected to announce a markup for the last week of April. But that timeline appears to be slipping. According to Galaxy, Sen. Thom Tillis, a key negotiator on stablecoin rewards language, called on Monday for delaying the markup until May.
May Could Be The Last Chance For Crypto’s CLARITY Act
Galaxy framed the bill’s prospects in unusually blunt terms: “In our view, the odds of CLARITY being signed into law in 2026 are roughly 50-50, and possibly lower, though others at Galaxy are more optimistic. The uncertainty stems not from any single issue but from the number of unresolved questions that must be settled, in sequence, under severe time pressure.”
The report argues that a markup in early or mid-May would still leave a viable path, but not much margin for error. “If the markup slips past mid-May, the probability of enactment in 2026 drops sharply,” Galaxy wrote. “The remaining legislative calendar simply does not easily accommodate the full five-step process described above, particularly given the competing demands on floor time.” In the firm’s view, a July floor vote is still theoretically possible, but only with “extraordinary political will and coordination.”
The procedural burden is significant. From committee markup, the bill would still need to clear a 60-vote Senate floor threshold, then be reconciled with the Agriculture Committee’s version, then reconciled again with the House-passed CLARITY Act, before reaching the president’s desk. Galaxy said each step consumes time that the Senate may not have in abundance, especially with Iran military authorization debates, the unresolved DHS funding standoff, and a backlog of nominations competing for floor space.
The best-known sticking point remains stablecoin rewards language, where banks and crypto firms have been fighting over whether exchanges can offer incentives tied to stablecoin holdings and usage. Galaxy said a compromise being negotiated by Tillis and Sen. Angela Alsobrooks would still ban rewards paid “solely for holding” a stablecoin while allowing narrower, activity-based incentives tied to payments, transfers, or platform usage. But the text has not yet been released, and until it is, the committee’s 48-hour notice clock cannot start.
Galaxy also made clear that stablecoin yield is only part of the problem. The note highlighted several other live issues in Senate negotiations, including the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act’s protections for noncustodial software developers, ethics provisions related to government officials’ crypto holdings, concerns over Section 505’s impact on SEC exemptive relief for tokenization, and the political question of SEC commissioner vacancies. None of those is necessarily fatal on its own. Together, they create a far more fragile timeline.
Notably, US Senator Bernie Moreno is sharing a similar position like Galaxy Digital. When was asked about the timeline for crypto market structure legislation, he said: “I think we’re going to get it done by the end of May.&#8221; But the Ohio Republican also warned last month that if the Clarity Act isn’t passed by May, crypto legislation could be off the table for the foreseeable future.
NEW: At an event in DC this evening, Senator @berniemoreno was asked about the timeline for crypto market structure legislation.
“I think we’re going to get it done by the end of May,” he said.

The report is broadly favorable on the substance of the legislation. Galaxy called CLARITY “a strong bill both on technical terms and as a policy matter,” arguing that it would establish jurisdictional boundaries between the SEC and CFTC, define pathways for tokens to be treated as non-securities once sufficiently decentralized, and create the kind of durable legal framework that institutional capital has long lacked.
It also warned that the post-midterm outlook could be materially worse. A change in control of either chamber, Galaxy said, would likely produce different committee chairs, different priorities, and a much less hospitable path for crypto legislation.
That is why the near-term milestones now matter so much. Galaxy said the next signals to watch are the release of Tillis’s revised stablecoin text, Chairman Tim Scott’s markup announcement, the size and bipartisan character of any committee vote, and whether Senate leadership allocates floor time before the July 4 recess.
At press time, the total crypto market cap stood at $2.58 trillion.

Core Scientific Is Transitioning From Bitcoin To AI Data Centers
According to a press release, Core Scientific&#8217;s finance subsidiary is planning to offer $3.3 billion in senior secured notes in a private offering to institutional investors. Originally a Bitcoin miner, Core Scientific has been making a push into the high-density colocation (HDC) business, offering data centers to AI companies.
In March, the firm revealed that it sold $175 million in BTC and that it planned to monetize on its remaining Bitcoin holdings as well. Core Scientific also announced that it&#8217;s no longer anticipating entering into large-scale BTC mining purchase agreements, further indicating its shift away from the space.
The company currently operates ten facilities across the United States. Not all of them are part of Core Scientific&#8217;s HDC infrastructure, but the firm is in the process of repurposing the non-HDC facilities. Once the shift is finished, Core will have essentially exited the digital mining industry.
As of the end of 2025, the company&#8217;s Bitcoin mining computing power (known as Hashrate) amounts to 17.90 EH/s, making it the ninth largest public miner.
Though given the pivot that Core Scientific has been making, it&#8217;s possible that it has further decommissioned its Hashrate in these first few months of 2026, so its real ranking could be lower.
Core isn&#8217;t the only Bitcoin mining company that has been pivoting to the AI and high-performance computing (HPC) business. In fact, many of the big miners have announced a push into the space to some degree.
As reported by Bitcoinist, Capriole Investments founder Charles Edwards has estimated that BTC mining revenue for the major public miners will drop from a share of 90% to just 30% within the next 2-3 years, with AI making up for the majority of the income for these firms.
Bitcoin miners are making the move toward AI as they believe it could be more lucrative than digital asset mining. The CEO of Bitfarms, another company in the process of winding down its BTC mining business, provided a look into just how transformative the firm believes AI could be for its revenue, noting:
Despite being less than 1% of our total developable portfolio, we believe that the conversion of just our Washington site to GPU-as-a-Service could potentially produce more net operating income than we have ever generated with Bitcoin mining.
Since October 2025, the global Bitcoin mining Hashrate has observed a drawdown, but given that the drop has been of just 11%, it&#8217;s likely that the cause behind the miner pullback has been the decline in BTC&#8217;s price, rather than a migration from miners to the AI industry.
BTC Price
At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading around $78,100, up more than 5% over the past week.

Crypto Protocol Umbra Takes Its Front End Offline
The privacy-focused crypto protocol announced Tuesday it had pulled its hosted website offline after reports surfaced that hackers had been using it to move stolen funds.
According to Umbra, roughly $800,000 in stolen assets passed through the protocol. The decision to go dark, the team said, was meant to avoid creating obstacles for ongoing recovery efforts.
The site would be brought back, they added, once investigators gave the all-clear.
The stolen funds are tied to a much larger breach. The Kelp protocol was hit for more than $280 million in what security researchers believe was carried out by North Korean hackers.
As has been reported, Umbra was used to move funds associated with recent, high profile hacks. In total, we are aware of 349 ETH (~$800K) of stolen funds moving through the protocol. Reports of much higher amounts are inaccurate. A few notes:
First, as a stealth address system,…
— Umbra (@UmbraCash) April 21, 2026
After the exploit, blockchain security firm PeckShield flagged Umbra as one of several protocols the attackers had been using to move funds from Ether to Bitcoin.
North Korean hacking groups operate under heavy US sanctions, which has pushed several crypto platforms to freeze or disrupt the hackers&#8217; attempts to cash out.
A Warning From Someone Who Has Been There
Roman Storm knows what it looks like when prosecutors go after a privacy protocol. He was convicted last August of conspiring to run an unlicensed money transmitting business through Tornado Cash.
Storm fought the case partly on the argument that he had no real control over how the protocol was used. Prosecutors called that claim false.
Now Storm is watching Umbra&#8217;s situation unfold and sees the same playbook at work. He said authorities treated changing a front end as proof of full control over a protocol.
&#8220;If you can make changes to the user interface, including further updates through new builds on IPFS, then you are in full control,&#8221; Storm said.
He beat charges of conspiring to violate US sanctions but was convicted on the other counts.
His comments put Umbra in an uncomfortable position. By taking action, the protocol may have signaled to regulators that it had the ability — and therefore the responsibility — to intervene all along.
What Umbra Says It Cannot Control
Umbra was direct about the limits of what it actually did. The team acknowledged that no one can stop anyone from using the protocol&#8217;s smart contracts directly.
A self-hosted or locally run version of its open-source front end is also beyond the team&#8217;s reach. Shutting the hosted site blocks casual users, not determined ones.

What it has lacked, until now, is a clean bridge to the broader DeFi ecosystem that most builders and users actually operate in. That gap just closed.
LI.FI, the multichain liquidity aggregator that handles cross-chain bridging and swapping for a significant portion of DeFi&#8217;s active applications, has integrated TRON into its orchestration layer. The practical consequence is straightforward: developers building on LI.FI can now route through TRON&#8217;s liquidity without managing a separate bridge integration, and users of applications built on the protocol can bridge and swap stablecoins in and out of TRON directly within whatever interface they are already using.
That frictionless access matters because TRON&#8217;s stablecoin infrastructure has historically operated somewhat in parallel to the Ethereum-centric DeFi ecosystem rather than within it. The chain processes an enormous volume of real-world stablecoin transfers — remittances, payments, OTC settlement — but that activity has largely been invisible to the wallets, aggregators, and protocols that define most users&#8217; DeFi experience.
The LI.FI integration does not change what TRON is. It changes who can reach it — and how easily.
What the Integration Actually Unlocks
The practical capabilities of the LI.FI integration falls into two distinct categories, and both matter for different reasons.
For developers, the change is primarily one of access without overhead. TRON has historically required separate bridge integrations to connect with other chains, a technical friction that pushed many builders toward ecosystems with simpler cross-chain tooling even when TRON&#8217;s liquidity and fee structure were objectively attractive.
That barrier is now removed. Applications building on LI.FI&#8217;s API can route through TRON&#8217;s deep USDT liquidity directly, accessing one of crypto&#8217;s largest stablecoin ecosystems through the same interface they already use for Ethereum, Arbitrum, or any other supported network.
For end users, the change is invisible in the best possible way. Stablecoin swaps and bridges involving TRON become available within the applications they already use, without requiring any knowledge of which underlying chain is handling the settlement. Improved pricing and liquidity access follow naturally from connecting TRON&#8217;s $85 billion USDT pool to a routing layer that optimizes across multiple venues simultaneously.
The use cases that benefit most immediately are the ones TRON already dominates in practice — remittances, cross-border payments, and on-chain settlement, where low fees and high throughput are the deciding factors. Connecting that infrastructure to LI.FI&#8217;s distribution does not create those use cases. It makes them accessible to a significantly larger audience without any additional complexity on either end.
TRX Holds Uptrend Structure as Price Tests Multi-Month Resistance
TRX is maintaining one of the cleaner uptrend structures in the market, with price currently pressing into the $0.33–$0.34 region — a level that has repeatedly acted as resistance since the late-2025 peak. The weekly chart shows a sequence of higher lows intact, supported by a steady climb above the 50-week and 100-week moving averages, both of which continue to slope upward.
The recent structure is constructive. After pulling back from the ~$0.36 local high, TRX found support near the $0.27–$0.29 range, consolidating above the 50-week moving average before pushing higher again. That base-building phase appears to have reset momentum without breaking the broader trend, which is typically a sign of strength rather than exhaustion.
However, the current test is not trivial. The $0.34 area marks a clear supply zone where prior rallies stalled, and the latest move into this region has not yet been accompanied by a meaningful expansion in volume. That raises the probability of at least short-term hesitation or another rejection before a clean breakout can occur.
If TRX can establish acceptance above $0.34, the next logical target sits near the $0.38–$0.40 range. Failure to break through keeps price rotating between $0.28 and $0.34, extending the consolidation phase within an otherwise intact uptrend.

Now he has.
Justin Sun, the founder of the Tron blockchain and the single largest individual investor in World Liberty Financial, filed a lawsuit in a California federal court on Wednesday against the Trump-family-backed crypto project.
Sun says the project&#8217;s team froze his tokens and threatened to destroy them with no valid reason — a move he tried to resolve privately before turning to the courts.
&#8220;I have tried in good faith to resolve this situation with the World Liberty project team without resorting to litigation,&#8221; Sun wrote on social media. The project team refused his requests to unfreeze the tokens and restore his access, he said, leaving him no other option.
Is Justin Sun&#8217;s Claims Baseless?
World Liberty Financial had a pointed response when Sun first raised the threat of legal action earlier this month. The project team posted on X that Sun&#8217;s claims were baseless and said they had the contracts, the evidence, and the truth. &#8220;See you in court pal,&#8221; they wrote.
Today, I filed a lawsuit in California federal court against World Liberty Financial to protect my legal rights as a holder of $WLFI tokens.
I have always been—and remain—an ardent supporter of President Trump and his Administration’s efforts to make America crypto friendly.…
— H.E. Justin Sun (@justinsuntron) April 22, 2026
Now they&#8217;ll get their chance.
Governance Questions Had Been Building
Sun&#8217;s concerns about the project go beyond the token freeze. Reports indicate he had already accused World Liberty of running a governance vote that lacked transparency.
Does anyone still believe @justinsuntron ?
Justin’s favorite move is playing the victim while making baseless allegations to cover up his own misconduct.
Same playbook, different target. WLFI isn&#8217;t the first.
We have the contracts. We have the evidence. We have the truth.
See…
— WLFI (@worldlibertyfi) April 12, 2026
His main complaint: more than 76% of the voting tokens involved in a recent governance proposal came from just 10 wallets — a level of concentration that he said undermined the legitimacy of the outcome.
That vote had passed a proposal involving staking and lockup terms for WLFI, the project&#8217;s governance token. Sun had pushed back on those lockup periods, calling the terms excessive.
World Liberty Financial is closely tied to the Trump family and has attracted attention well beyond typical crypto circles. Sun&#8217;s decision to invest heavily in the project put him at the center of one of the more politically visible ventures in the crypto space.
Justin Sun Keeps His Distance From Trump
Despite filing suit, Sun went out of his way to separate the legal dispute from his view of US President Donald Trump. He said the lawsuit has nothing to do with Trump or his administration&#8217;s efforts to build a friendlier regulatory environment for crypto in the US.
&#8220;Unfortunately, certain individuals on the World Liberty project team have been operating the project in a manner that goes against President Trump&#8217;s values,&#8221; Sun said.
It&#8217;s a careful line to walk — suing a project tied to the sitting president while simultaneously vouching for that president. Sun&#8217;s statement suggests he wants to keep political ties intact even as the legal battle heats up.

Since the 2022 bear market broke valuations across the sector, selling pressure has remained a persistent ceiling on any recovery attempt — and the altseason that cycle after cycle of traders anticipated has delivered more disappointment than it has reward. For most altcoin holders, patience has been the only available strategy.
Something in the volume data is beginning to shift. According to top analyst Darkfost, the consolidation phase the broader market is currently navigating is producing a behavioral change that is visible in how traders are allocating their attention to Binance. During range-bound periods, investors tend to reassess rather than simply hold — and those reassessments are showing up in the platform&#8217;s volume distribution.
Today, altcoins account for 51% of total trading volume on Binance — their largest share of the platform&#8217;s activity and the first time they have commanded a majority of volume in this cycle. The contrast with early March is striking. At that point, altcoin volumes had contracted sharply to just 31% of Binance&#8217;s total, as traders concentrated their activity in Bitcoin and Ethereum during the period of maximum uncertainty.
In six weeks, that share has grown by 20 percentage points. Whether that rotation is the beginning of a genuine altcoin recovery or a consolidation-phase anomaly is the question the data is now forcing.
Capital Is Rotating — and Ethereum Is Feeling It Most
The flip side of altcoins claiming 51% of Binance&#8217;s volume is that the capital flowing toward them has to come from somewhere. Bitcoin and Ethereum have both seen their share of platform activity decline, with BTC now standing at 30% and ETH at 17%. The numbers reflect a market that is not simply adding altcoin exposure — it is actively reallocating away from the assets that dominated trading through the most uncertain stretch of the year.
The ETH decline is the more striking of the two. As recently as April 11 — less than two weeks ago — Ethereum still commanded 27% of total trading activity on Binance. It has since shed ten percentage points of that share in less than a fortnight, a pace of rotation that suggests something more deliberate than gradual drift.
Darkfost frames the broader dynamic carefully. Despite the macro uncertainty that continues to define the market environment, a rotation of liquidity from leading assets toward the more speculative segments of the market is clearly underway. Traders appear to be using the range-bound price action not as a reason to reduce exposure, but as an opportunity to reposition toward higher-beta assets that have underperformed through the correction.
Whether that rotation reflects genuine conviction in an altcoin recovery or simply the restlessness of capital looking for movement during a quiet period is the distinction the coming weeks will resolve. For now, the volume data says traders have already made their choice.
Altcoin Market Cap Rebuilds After Structural Breakdown
The total crypto market cap excluding the top 10 assets (altcoins) is currently stabilizing near the $180–$190 billion range after a prolonged period of volatility and structural weakness. The chart highlights a clear cyclical pattern: explosive expansion phases followed by deep corrections, with the most recent drawdown from the 2025 peak near $440 billion cutting valuations by more than half.
Since the February lows, price action has shifted from capitulation to consolidation. The sharp spike in volume during the sell-off suggests forced liquidations and broad risk-off behavior, while the subsequent recovery has been more measured. The market has managed to reclaim the 200-week moving average, a level that is now acting as tentative support, indicating that long-term buyers are beginning to re-engage.
However, the broader structure remains fragile. The 50-week and 100-week moving averages are flattening and beginning to converge above the current price, creating a compression zone that often precedes a larger directional move. Previous cycles show similar phases where altcoins oscillated in wide ranges before either expanding aggressively or rolling over again.
The inability to reclaim the $220–$250 billion region keeps the market in a neutral-to-bearish posture. For a sustained recovery, altcoins must break above this resistance and confirm higher highs. Until then, this remains a rebuilding phase rather than a confirmed trend reversal.

Filecoin said Blockfrost has added a premium storage tier for developers backed by Filecoin, giving builders a distributed, verifiable backup layer without requiring changes to existing workflows.
Hoskinson Backs Filecoin Move Into Cardano
Cardano developers using Blockfrost already rely on the API provider to avoid running their own infrastructure. Filecoin posted via X: “Blockfrost added a premium storage tier for Cardano developers backed by Filecoin. Distributed across independent providers, verifiable, with no infrastructure overhead. For data-driven apps on Cardano, that&#8217;s a reliability upgrade with no workflow changes required.”
Charles Hoskinson amplified the announcement with a short but pointed endorsement, calling Filecoin “one of the OGs” and welcoming it to the Cardano ecosystem. The comment was brief, but it gave the rollout added visibility across Cardano circles and framed the integration as more than a quiet backend feature.
Philip DiSarro, the founder and CEO of Anastasia Labs, a Cardano-focused smart contract development and security firm, added via X: “This is a beast of a collaboration / announcement.”
This is a beast of a collaboration / announcement. https://t.co/YforHLhW3y
— Phil (@phil_uplc) April 21, 2026
The older press release behind the announcement fills in what the product actually does. In December 2024, Filecoin Foundation and Blockfrost said they were collaborating to integrate Filecoin as a decentralized storage backup layer for apps built with Blockfrost. At the time, the framing centered on redundancy, quality assurance and decentralization. The new development is that those ideas now appear to have been packaged into a “premium storage tier” for developers rather than remaining a general infrastructure collaboration.
A premium tier implies a concrete service offering developers can select as part of their stack, with clearer user value: preserve data across a decentralized storage network, keep access seamless, and do it without forcing teams to rework their application flow.
Filecoin’s wording around the launch was explicit: “For data-driven apps on Cardano, that’s a reliability upgrade with no workflow changes required.” That is the core pitch. Not a new chain, not a migration, not another middleware maze. Just a harder-to-break storage layer sitting behind the tools many builders already use.
The original release also made clear why Filecoin was the chosen layer. “By archiving its IPFS Gateway clusters on Filecoin, the world’s largest decentralized storage network, Blockfrost will introduce a new service tier for builders that includes both IPFS and Filecoin storage. This integration not only strengthens the resilience of future Cardano apps but also highlights a commitment to decentralization by prioritizing the coordination of two leading layer-1 blockchain ecosystems.”
At press time, ADA traded at $0.2555.

As discussions around security intensify following several high-profile DeFi breaches, XRP supporters and developers are pointing to design decisions and operational discipline as the reason the network has avoided the billions lost elsewhere.
Security Architecture Behind The XRP Ledger’s Track Record
A recent discussion on X gained traction after the account @RippleXity noted that more than $15 billion has been lost to crypto exploits across the industry, while the XRP Ledger has recorded zero protocol-level hack losses. The comment triggered responses from several market participants who argued that the network’s architecture and operational approach explain the difference.
The security discussion quickly expanded when a crypto commentator responded to RippleXity’s post, arguing that XRP’s design has long prioritized reliability. According to the post, this level of safety is one reason the network has been integrated into the financial infrastructure used by banking institutions.
The commentator described the asset as significantly undervalued while emphasizing that its security framework operates at a level comparable to traditional financial systems. Supporters argue that XRP Ledger’s strong track record is tied to deliberate design choices that prioritize stability and predictable transaction finality over experimental features that could introduce vulnerabilities. They also note that, unlike many blockchain ecosystems that rely on complex bridges and interoperability tools, the XRP Ledger maintains a more controlled architecture, which they believe has helped reduce exposure to attack vectors responsible for major losses in decentralized finance.
How XRP Ledger’s Security Approach Compares With Others
The security debate intensified further after a separate post by XRP advocate @InvestWithD referenced comments from David Schwartz, the Chief Technology Officer at Ripple. Schwartz reportedly explained that when Ripple evaluated bridging systems for its stablecoin project RLUSD, the company focused primarily on risk management and security.
According to the post, many DeFi bridging systems include strong security tools, but some projects disable them to simplify operations or scale faster, a choice Schwartz suggested may have contributed to the KelpDAO exploit. The exploit reportedly involved about $292 million, where attackers manipulated a LayerZero-connected system using a 1-of-1 Decentralized Verifier Network instead of a multi-verifier setup, creating a single point of failure that enabled spoofed messages, fraudulent rsETH minting, and fund drainage. 
In contrast, Ripple’s RLUSD avoids risky bridges through native issuance on both the XRP Ledger and Ethereum, while expansion to Layer-2 networks like Optimism, Base, Ink, and Unichain uses Wormhole and its Native Token Transfers (NTT) standard.
That system allows Ripple to maintain direct control over token issuance while using multiple verification layers for cross-chain transfers. Supporters argue that this emphasis on controlled issuance and layered verification reflects the broader philosophy that has allowed the XRP Ledger to maintain its long-standing record without protocol-level exploit losses.

The meme coin appears to be staging a recovery as trading volume continues to ramp up and price experiences short rebounds. Despite its prolonged choppy action, the recent rise in Open Interest underscores a shift in sentiment, indicating that traders are beginning to move back into SHIB.
Shiba Inu Open Interest Surpasses BTC And XRP
Shiba Inu has recorded a sharp increase in derivatives market activity after its Open Interest surged by more than 20% on April 21. CoinGlass data shows that the metric climbed from approximately $56.27 million the previous day, reflecting a notable jump in trader participation and speculative positioning around the meme coin. 
The latest spike in Open Interest reflects a growing concentration of capital flowing into SHIB futures contracts, signaling heightened engagement among derivatives traders despite market volatility. This shift also indicates that market participants are increasingly opening new positions in SHIB futures, rather than closing existing ones. 
Notably, Shiba Inu’s Open Interest has now surpassed levels seen in major blue-chip assets such as Bitcoin and XRP during the same period. This surge suggests that traders may be shifting their focus away from larger cryptocurrencies to SHIB, highlighting renewed interest in meme coins. 
Importantly, Shiba Inu’s Open Interest closed around $61.1 million on April 21, indicating a more than 10% reversal from its earlier 20% surge. At the time of writing, the metric has increased again to $68.78 million, reflecting a more than 12.5% surge from the previous day. As Open Interest continues to rise, SHIB’s trading volume is also up by more than 95%, currently sitting at $205.78 million. 
SHIB’s Open Interest Surges As Price Increases
Shiba Inu is not only seeing a rise in its Open Interest but also in its price. Over the past week, the meme coin has rebounded by more than 6%, and in the last 24 hours, it is up by over 2.5%, according to CoinMarketCap data. Usually, when a cryptocurrency’s price climbs alongside a surge in Open Interest, market data typically points to strengthening bullish momentum supported by increased leverage. 
This combination suggests that new capital is actively entering the market, with traders possibly positioning for further upside through long contracts. As more traders open long positions, the short-term uptrend continues due to increased buying pressure. 
While this can be bullish and potentially support a future price reversal under favorable conditions, the same setup also carries risks. If too many traders are all betting on prices going up at the same time, the market becomes overcrowded. When this happens, even the smallest decline in price can trigger liquidations, forcing traders to close their positions and increasing the chance of a deeper pullback.

Bitcoin is currently trading around $78,000, with the cryptocurrency showing signs of more recoveries before the end of the month as bullish momentum is starting to creep back in.
Industry Experts Set Their Targets
Bitcoin has pushed back above $78,000 this week, Spot ETF flows have turned positive again, and futures open interest is now back above $120 billion, showing that conviction is building again even as the crypto&#8217;s price is about 38% below the October 2025 all-time high of $126,080. 
The lower end of the prediction spectrum is occupied by names that, a few years ago, would not have been caught issuing a Bitcoin price target. Citigroup has set a base case target of around $126,000 for Bitcoin by the end of 2026. Analysts at CitiGroup based the prediction on the anticipated passage of the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act.
Other predictions on the lower end include $148,000 from Pantera Capital, $150,000, $170,000 from JPMorgan, $180,000 from VanEck, and $150,000 and $200,000 from Standard Chartered. More bullish predictions from industry names see Bitcoin trading above or near $200,000 by the end of the year. These include venture capitalists, fund managers, and financial commentators who have spent years building their credibility on Bitcoin calls. 
Tom Lee, one of the more closely followed Bitcoin bulls on Wall Street, has outlined a $189,000 target. Further up the range, Tim Draper sees $250,000; Ark Invest’s Cathie Wood points to $275,000; Robert Kiyosaki predicted $350,000; Anthony Scaramucci has floated $400,000, while both Chamath Palihapitiya and Mike Novogratz have put forward projections as high as $500,000. A move to $500,000 from current price levels would represent a gain of more than 550%
Forecast Range Shows Just How Divided The Market Still Is
The projections span a wide range of targets, and that range shows just how divided these industry voices are when it comes to Bitcoin’s upside this year, even though the broader sentiment is still bullish. Some expectations sit just above the current all-time high, while others point to a much larger repricing.
What makes the list interesting is that not all of these calls carry the same weight right now, and at least one major forecast has already been revised lower. Citigroup, for instance, cut its 12-month Bitcoin target to $112,000 in March 2026 from $143,000 previously, while keeping a bullish scenario of $165,000. 
Standard Chartered also cut its year-end 2026 target to $150,000 late last year from $300,000, even though it still kept a longer-term $500,000 view for 2030.

Even during multiple market drawdowns, a massive accumulation of BTC was still strongly observed among many large firms across the cryptocurrency and financial landscape.
New Bitcoin Purchase Propels MicroStrategy
A crucial shift is taking place in Bitcoin accumulation among large firms across the sector. In the Bitcoin institutional race, Strategy formerly known as MicroStrategy has become a prodigy in BTC accumulation after years of acquiring the leading asset. 
According to a recent report from Darkfost, a market expert and verified author at CryptoQuant, the company founded by Michael Saylor, a prominent figure in the crypto space, has now surpassed BlackRock, the largest asset manager, in total BTC acquired.
This flip comes after Strategy&#8217;s most recent BTC purchase, which saw over 34,164 BTC being scooped up. The aggressive accumulation approach has strengthened MicroStrategy&#8217;s position as one of the biggest corporate holders in the market and once again demonstrated its steadfast dedication to the crypto king.
Following the latest acquisition, the company now holds over 815,061 BTC, while BlackRock’s IBIT now controls over 802,823 BTC as of April 17. This event indicates a wider trend of increasing corporate conviction in Bitcoin as a strategic asset, in addition to highlighting the growing competition among institutional participants in the crypto and finance space.
With its current stash, Strategy now holds more than 4% of BTC’s total supply. As a result, the company continues to move closer to its initial stated objective of holding around 5% to 7% of the total supply in circulation. 
Despite holding a huge amount of BTC, Strategy suffered notable losses as the asset’s price fell below the firm’s realized price of $75,527. However, after several market shifts, the price of Bitcoin has now moved back above Strategy’s realized price at the time of the post. Darkfost stated that this brings an end to the period of unrealized losses that started in early February this year. As of today, Strategy has once again projected profits of $242 million.
The BTC Bear Market Still Alive 
While Bitcoin’s price has slightly picked up pace following the market rebound, underlying signals continue to point to weakness in the broader trend. Such signals imply that BTC’s recent upward trend is likely to be temporary, and a decline is still heavily on the table.
After navigating multiple on-chain metrics, Alphractal, a data analytics platform, highlighted that BTC’s bear market is not over yet, suggesting impending bearish periods. Over time, the Short-Term Holder Realized Price vs the Long-Term Holder Realized Price has been a key indicator in determining whether the market is still in a bear or bull phase.
Alphractal noted that the bear market will only end when the STH Realized Price drops below the LTH Realized Price. The platform’s analysis is backed by historical trends where this setup signaled the end of the bear market phase. At this point, it is crucial to monitor this current reading to determine whether the same pattern holds in the ongoing cycle.

What is happening instead is the kind of institutional movement that is quietly deploying capital onto the Ledger, targeting the US Treasury debt, one of the largest and most stable markets in global finance. 
The numbers are still small, but the structure behind them points to something that could scale far more than what is reflected in the current price of the altcoin.
Institutional Capital Begins To Land On XRPL
Crypto commentator X Finance Bull recently drew attention to a detail that deserves more scrutiny than it has received. The post, which was made on the social media platform X, highlighted how several institutional-grade products tied to US Treasuries are already live on the XRP Ledger. The combined value sits above $300 million, spread across offerings linked to firms such as BlackRock-backed Ondo Finance, OpenEden, and Guggenheim.
Ondo Finance accounts for the largest share at $221.8 million, followed by the OpenEden T-Bill Vault with roughly $55 million, while Guggenheim Treasury Services has about $40 million worth of institutional products on the Ledger.
To that roster, abrdn (Aberdeen Group plc), a firm overseeing more than $600 billion in assets, has deployed a tokenized liquidity fund on the Ledger as well, currently worth $15.9 million. Together, these four products represent over $333 million in live institutional capital on a network that, until recently, was better known for cross-border payments.
Each of these deployments has a deeper meaning. For instance, Ondo&#8217;s OUSG token is backed by BlackRock&#8217;s USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund and allows qualified investors to mint and redeem tokens 24/7 using Ripple&#8217;s RLUSD stablecoin.
A Tiny Slice Of A $31 Trillion Market
Institutions entering tokenized Treasuries have a wide selection of blockchains to choose from, including Ethereum and other established networks. Therefore, the significance is not just the capital itself but how quickly XRPL has closed the gap from almost no footprint in treasury-backed products. 
In 2025, tokenized assets on the Ledger surged by 2,200%, increasing from $24.7 million in January to $567 million by year-end. Even with these developments, the scale of allocation is microscopic when compared to the US Treasury market, which holds a value above $30 trillion. The current allocation on XRPL barely scratches the surface, representing a fraction of a fraction of total issuance. That is exactly what is adding to the long-term outlook.
Tokenization of real-world assets, particularly government debt, has become one of the most closely watched trends across both crypto and traditional finance. The implication for the XRP price lies in how this activity scales and how much of it is tokenized on the XRP Ledger.
Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan recently projected that the tokenization market could expand from $26 billion today to $200 trillion, citing massive traditional markets including $110 trillion in stocks and $140 trillion in bonds. The implications for XRP’s price action would be significant if XRPL receives a notable share of that market as it scales.

That concern formed part of the backdrop when a four-star Navy admiral took a rare public stance on Bitcoin last Tuesday, telling a Senate committee it belongs in the same conversation as US military power.
Mining, Hardware, And The Supply Chain Problem
Admiral Samuel Paparo, commander of US Indo-Pacific Command, told the Senate Armed Services Committee that Bitcoin functions as a tool for &#8220;power projection.&#8221;
His remarks were prompted by a question from Senator Tommy Tuberville, who pointed out that China&#8217;s top monetary think tank has begun treating Bitcoin as a strategic asset and asked how Congress should respond.
Paparo didn&#8217;t answer that directly. What he did say was direct enough: &#8220;Bitcoin is a reality. It is a peer-to-peer zero-trust transfer of value. Anything that supports all instruments of national power for the United States of America is to the good.&#8221;
US Admiral Calls Bitcoin Key to Cybersecurity and Power Projection
Admiral Samuel Paparo sees Bitcoin as a strategic tool for U.S. cybersecurity and national power, emphasizing its proof-of-work advantages. (Read More)

Beyond its role as a currency, Paparo argued that Bitcoin&#8217;s proof-of-work system carries real weight as a cybersecurity mechanism. The design of that system, he said, forces anyone trying to attack the network to spend enormous resources — making intrusions significantly more expensive.
&#8220;Outside of the economic formulation of it, it has got really important computer science applications for cybersecurity,&#8221; he told the committee.
Not The First Voice From The Military
Paparo is not the first person in uniform to make this case. In December 2023, US Space Force member Jason Lowery argued that proof-of-work technology could be applied well beyond finance — used to protect data, messages, and command signals from hostile actors.
Lowery said at the time that treating Bitcoin purely as a financial tool understates what it can do for national security. The difference now is the rank of the person making the argument.
The hearing covered a wide range of security threats, including China&#8217;s military buildup, the war in Ukraine, the conflict in the Middle East, and ongoing aggression from North Korea.
Cybercrime was woven through much of that discussion. North Korea&#8217;s Lazarus Group, for instance, has stolen billions in crypto over the past decade, with proceeds allegedly funneled into the country&#8217;s weapons program.
A Push To Manufacture Domestically
The US currently holds more Bitcoin than any other national government and controls the largest share of the global mining network. But that position comes with a vulnerability: the physical machines used to mine Bitcoin are largely manufactured overseas.

After recent staking actions from both retail and institutional investors, the amount of staked ETH has surged to unprecedented levels.
Staking On Ethereum Expands Rapidly
Interest in Ethereum among institutional and retail investors is shifting to another level. A fresh milestone is reshaping the supply dynamics of Ethereum, as staking activity witnesses a sharp growth, breaking past previous peak levels.
Leon Waidmann, a market expert and head of research at Lisk, announced on the social media platform X that the ETH staking ratio just exceeded 32%, marking a new all-time high. A 32% staking ratio reading implies that 1 out of 3 ETH is now locked away in staking contracts across the network.
The increase in locked Ethereum is a reflection of increased confidence among players as they commit more of their holdings to support the network and earn yield. Such a milestone is likely to strengthen ETH&#8217;s security and reduce the amount available on the open market for trading.
According to the data shared by Waidmann, this staking level took the leading network over 5 years to reach. As of January 2021, the staking ratio was sitting at 0%. With major achievements, staking is now unfolding as a crucial part of ETH, influencing the network&#8217;s structure and its entire market outlook.
Waidmann highlighted that staking operations recorded a 5% increase in the last 12 months. At the same time, Digital asset treasuries (DATs) continue to add more ETH to their crypto holdings, snatching up between 6.6 million and 7.4 million ETH, representing between 5.5% to 6.1% of the entire Ethereum supply in the market.
When combined, this rounds up to approximately 38% of ETH’s total supply, effectively leaving the market. “ The bottleneck for ETH isn&#8217;t demand, it’s available float,” Waidmann stated. Furthermore, the expert added that stakers do not unwind on drawdowns, and neither do corporate balance sheets sell their holdings on vibes. ETH’s supply locked in staking is a structural move, which is bullish for its near-term future.
ETH Whales Are Showing Cautious Behavior
Even though the price of Ethereum has undergone a brief upward move as the broader crypto market slowly recovers, investors’ sentiment appears to be shifting into a bearish state. This growing bearish sentiment among investors is observed in their recent positioning.
In a report, Joao Wedson, the founder of on-chain data analytics platform Alphractal, shared that ETH investors, especially large holders or whales, are leaning toward the short side. These investors are betting against the current upward momentum, as they steadily open short positions.
This trend is particularly evident among three leading trading platforms, such as Binance, OKX, and Gate. An interesting part of this trend is that these large holders are more interested in short positions on ETH than retail traders.

The pundit also declared that the altcoin is bound to increase over time, regardless of its utility. 
How XRP Has Outperformed Hedge Funds
In an X post, Vandell noted that XRP rose from its 2014 bottom of roughly $0.0028 to an all-time high (ATH) of $3.64 in 2025, representing roughly a 129,900% return. Additionally, the altcoin rose from a low of $0.11 in 2020 to the $3.64 high in 2025, marking a return of around 33x in just five years. 
The pundit stated that XRP has made the world’s top hedge funds look like “savings accounts,” having outperformed since its launch. He added that the bigger move for the altcoin is yet to come, suggesting the token could see astronomical gains. Vandell declared that utility and adoption are just “icing on the cake” for the token, creating more demand. 
He affirmed that the altcoin will appreciate regardless of utility as long as the money supply increases over time. Meanwhile, other pundits like X Finance Bull have highlighted that the passage of the CLARITY Act could serve as a catalyst for massive growth in XRP. Vandell also signaled that the crypto bill will boost it, with trillions of dollars flowing into the crypto industry. 
This came as he noted that trillions of deployable institutional capital remain constrained by regulatory clarity and macro conditions before meaningfully allocating to crypto. He added that the scale of inflows will be ‘historic’ once clarity improves and macro conditions align. On the macro side, there are currently inflation concerns, especially as the Iran war continues to drive oil prices higher. 
On Whether It Can Reach $1,000
In another X post, Vandell said that XRP can reach $1,000 overtime as long as the uptrend remains intact. He acknowledged that such a rally could take several years, or even decades, to reach this level. The pundit added that supply and demand will be key to determining when it can reach this level.
He noted that XRP has a limited supply, while the token has continued to see a sustained demand. Vandell explained that fiat debasement has contributed to this demand, while retail and institutional investors are also accumulating the token based on the token’s utility. The pundit concluded that it will likely continue to rise as long as it remains relevant in the crypto space and sustains this demand. As such, he believes market participants should be looking to position for this price surge rather than fixating on when exactly it will happen. 
At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $1.44, up in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

The report’s core message is straightforward: Bitcoin, Ethereum and the broader blockchain sector should be building post-quantum roadmaps now, not waiting for a fault-tolerant quantum computer to arrive.
The paper, published April 21 and authored by a group that includes Scott Aaronson, Dan Boneh, Justin Drake, Sreeram Kannan, Yehuda Lindell and Dahlia Malkhi, says it has “high confidence” that a large-scale fault-tolerant quantum computer will eventually be built.

At the same time, it stresses that breaking current public-key cryptography still requires a machine far beyond today’s devices, and that the threat remains an engineering challenge rather than an imminent market event. NIST’s recommendation that post-quantum migrations should be completed by 2035 features prominently in that framing, though the authors add that they are “not confident” cryptographically relevant quantum computers will not exist by then or later.
Still, the report pushes hard against complacency. “Waiting for it to be urgent is not a good idea,” the authors write. “The discussion regarding quantum computing often revolves around the timeline. However, we believe that this debate on timelines is largely irrelevant (beyond that it is not imminent) since migrations should be planned for and prepared now.”
The advisory board argues that post-quantum protection is needed at both the consensus layer, where validators sign blocks, and the execution layer, where users sign transactions. The catch is that the cleanest cryptographic replacements are often much heavier than the elliptic-curve systems chains use today, especially once signature size, verification cost and aggregation are taken into account.
For Bitcoin, the report draws a distinction between UTXOs whose public keys remain hidden behind hashes and outputs where the cleartext public key is already exposed on-chain. It cites an estimate from Project 11 that about 6.9 million BTC sit in UTXOs for which the cleartext public key is known, including roughly 1.7 million BTC in older pay-to-public-key outputs, among them the so-called Satoshi coins. Those are the coins that would be most vulnerable to a harvest-now, break-later style attack once a sufficiently capable quantum machine exists.
The Bitcoin section does not read like a call for panic. It notes that Grover’s algorithm is unlikely to hand quantum miners an edge over classical ASICs anytime soon, because the overhead of running the quantum search remains too high. But it does outline practical mitigation ideas, including a commit-reveal approach for spending pre-quantum UTXOs more safely and an “Hourglass” proposal that would cap spending of exposed P2PK outputs at 1 BTC per block, effectively turning dormant coins into a canary rather than an instant jackpot.
Ethereum’s path in the paper is more expansive. The authors say the network faces four quantum-sensitive surfaces: EOA transaction signing at the execution layer, BLS validator signatures at the consensus layer, pairing-based proof systems in the EVM, and KZG commitments in the data layer. The report says Ethereum’s current direction is to move to hash-based signatures for both consensus and execution, using leanXMSS for validators and leanSPHINCS for user-level execution, then compressing the resulting signature load through SNARK-based aggregation. In that design, the on-chain aggregate signature would be on the order of 128KB.
More broadly, the paper recommends staged migration rather than abrupt replacement. At the consensus layer, it proposes periodic post-quantum checkpoints that can anchor prior history even before a full switchover.
At the execution layer, it favors a “1-out-of-2” approach, where users can sign with either the current elliptic-curve scheme or a post-quantum scheme, allowing chains to keep today’s costs low while preserving the option to disable legacy signatures later. “We firmly believe that a large-scale fault-tolerant quantum computer will eventually be built,” the authors write. “This doesn’t mean that the threat is imminent… However, we believe that the time to begin preparing for it is now.”
At press time, Bitcoin traded at $77,974.

Data shows that 42% of business investors already hold some form of digital currency. Another 18% of these institutional players say they plan to buy in soon.
This shift among companies is moving faster than many expected, yet the traditional banks they use every day are struggling to keep up.
While these banks see that the market is changing, very few have actually launched products to meet this demand. Only about 19% of financial institutions currently provide a way for their clients to buy or hold these assets.
This massive gap between what clients want and what banks offer is creating a new kind of friction in the European financial sector.
Banks are facing an internal crisis of expertise rather than a lack of interest. Reports indicate that most institutions know digital assets are important. In fact, 80% of them recognize the growing weight of this asset class.
The problem is they lack the staff and the budget to build the necessary systems. Many banks have not set aside the funds needed to hire experts or update their technology. Even with clear rules now in place through the Markets in Crypto-Assets regulation, banks are hesitating. They are stalled by their own internal hurdles.

Meanwhile, their customers are becoming restless. Many people would rather keep their money in one place. Reports show that 27% of investors want to manage crypto through their current bank. Only 14% say they prefer using a dedicated crypto exchange.
Traditional Institutions Risk Losing Loyal Customers
The lack of action from legacy banks is starting to have real consequences for customer loyalty.
A Boerse Stuttgart Digital survey released Tuesday found that 35% of European investors would consider switching banks if another institution offered better cryptocurrency investment options.
This suggests that digital assets are now influencing how customers choose where to keep their money. People are tired of moving money between different apps and accounts. They want simplicity.
If a bank cannot offer a way to buy Bitcoin or other tokens, the customer will find a competitor who can. This is not just about young retail traders. It affects high-net-worth individuals and large corporations too.
The revenue that banks could make from fees is currently going to crypto-native platforms instead.
The data suggests that the window for banks to act is closing. Investors are already active in the market, with or without their help. Large numbers of retail users have already set up accounts on external exchanges.
These users are getting used to those platforms. Once a customer leaves a traditional bank for a crypto-friendly one, it is very hard to get them back. The cost of winning a new customer is high. Losing one over a lack of basic services is a self-inflicted wound.
Some banks are starting to realize this. They see the potential for new income. However, the majority remain stuck in the planning stages.
Clear Regulations Fail To Spark Immediate Bank Action
European lawmakers have already done their part by creating the MiCA framework. This provides a legal map for how digital assets should be handled. Usually, banks wait for this kind of clarity before they move.
But even with the rules written down, the pace remains slow. Reports note that the struggle is purely operational. It takes time to train staff. It takes even longer to ensure that security measures are tight enough to hold digital keys.
While the banks move slowly, the market moves fast. Investors are not waiting for their local branch to catch up. They are taking their assets elsewhere today.

In Senate testimony highlighted Thursday by the Bitcoin Policy Institute (BPI) and several industry observers, Admiral Samuel Paparo, the four-star commander of US Indo-Pacific Command, described BTC as showing “incredible potential” as a tool with cybersecurity and broader strategic applications.
The exchange came during questioning from Sen. Tommy Tuberville, who framed US-China competition as a monetary contest as well as a military one. Tuberville said the Chinese Communist Party’s main monetary think tank had published research on BTC as a strategic asset last year, and he tied that backdrop to President Donald Trump’s move to establish a strategic reserve. He then asked Paparo how leadership in Bitcoin could affect “leverage, resilience, deterrence” for INDOPACOM against China, and whether such a reserve helps the US compete.
Bitcoin Enters The Defense Debate
Paparo’s answer was notable less for any market implication than for the language he used to describe BTC itself. Rather than focusing first on price, reserve composition, or financial policy, he approached it as a technical system with military relevance. “Our research into Bitcoin is as a computer science tool,” Paparo said. “It’s the combination of cryptography, a blockchain, and a proof of work. And Bitcoin shows incredible potential as a computer science tool that through the proof of work protocols, actually imposes more cost than just the algorithmic securing of networks and our ability to operate.”
That formulation matters. Paparo did not present BTC merely as a reserve asset or payment rail, but as a system whose architecture may have value in cybersecurity and power projection. He continued: “Bitcoin is a reality, it is a valuable computer science tool as a power projection. And outside of the economic formulation of it, it has got really important computer science applications for cybersecurity.”
Pressed by Tuberville on what Congress should do to help the US lead in “Bitcoin competition,” Paparo stopped short of offering immediate policy prescriptions in open session. But he did make clear that he sees the technology as strategically relevant. “I have to go deeper on that with you for the record,” he said. “But Bitcoin is a reality. It is a peer-to-peer, zero-trust transfer of value. Anything that supports all instruments of national power for the United States of America is to the good.”
The comments were quickly amplified by the BPI, whose executive team has been pushing the national-security case for BTC in Washington. Managing Director Conner Brown called the moment the point at which “Bitcoin was recognized as a strategic tool on the world stage,” while Galaxy lead researcher Alex Thorn underscored Paparo’s stature, noting that INDOPACOM is the largest geographic combatant command in the US military.

Thorn also pointed to an April 17 post from BPI executive director Grant McCarty, who said he had met with Tuberville and praised the senator’s understanding of “the strategic opportunity Bitcoin presents to advance US interests.”
The broader intellectual backdrop is difficult to ignore. Jason Lowery, the former US Space Force official and author of Softwar: A Novel Theory on Power Projection and the National Strategic Significance of Bitcoin, has argued that the proof-of-work system should be understood through a defense and deterrence lens, not just an economic one.
Lowery was appointed Special Assistant to the Commander at INDOPACOM in August 2025, though there’s no evidence which directly shows his role in Paparo’s testimony or the command’s current research. Via X, he just commented “Alea iacta est. ”.
At press time, BTC traded at $77,926.

The decentralized finance (DeFi) sector was the main focus of the 2021-2022 bull market, with the emergence of new coins. However, the bullishness surrounding the entire sector has been eroded over the years, and the effects are being felt till today, with liquidity rapidly moving out of DeFi protocols and leaving ‘ghost’ chains in their wake.
DeFi Losses Far Outpace Bitcoin Losses
On-chain researcher @waleswoosh on X (formerly Twitter) pointed out a concerning trend with the DeFi activity as seen over the last few weeks. The charts shared showed that from top to bottom, money was moving out of DeFi protocols at an unprecedented rate.
This data is backed up by DeFiLlama, with the website showing that both large and small networks alike were suffering in this regard. According to the website, Ethereum, the leading protocol, has seen its Total Value Locked (TVL) decline by around 13.54%, and even this is modest compared to the volume recorded on other protocols.
In the same time period, Solana has seen a 15.15% change, and these percentages actually translate into billions of dollars in TV being lost. Protocols such as Hyperliquid and Near also suffered higher loss rates at 15.71% and 25.68%, respectively.
Interestingly, Bitcoin saw its TV jump around 73.60% during this time, and Iron saw a 23.42% increase. This trend highlights the move away from decentralized finance towards more ‘sustainable’ investment options at this time.
One major factor that has triggered the exodus from these DeFi protocols looks to be the endless hacks that have plagued the sector. The most recent hack of KelpDao saw the attacker(s) make away with almost $300 million in loot, leaving investors in a very bad spot.
Earning yield on locked funds, which was one of the major pulls of the DeFi sector, has quickly become a ‘joke’ among investors, with yield rates falling and the risks rising. Many have highlighted the low reward-to-risk ratio as the possibility of losing all of the invested funds grows higher by the day.
The TVL of the entire DeFi sector looks to be in free fall, with a 7% decline in the last 24 hours at the time of this report. It is currently sitting slightly above $122 billion, which is a long way from the $229 billion that was recorded in October of 2025.

New BOK Governor Pushes For CBDCs
In an inauguration speech on Tuesday, Bank of Korea’s new governor, Shin Hyun-song, began his term outlining the priorities the central bank will focus on over the next four years.
The BOK Governor, who is also a former head of the Monetary and Economic Department at the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), addressed the central bank’s role in a digitalized financial environment.
Shin affirmed that the BOK’s mission is to safeguard trust in money and the stability of payments and settlements, while preparing for digital financial innovation. He also shared that internationalizing the won is “an important task to establish a currency infrastructure befitting our economy’s status,” highlighting CBDCs and bank-issued deposit tokens as key pieces to boost the won.
Through Phase 2 of Project Han River, we will increase the usability of CBDC and deposit tokens, and through international cooperation such as the Agora Project, we will enhance the won’s standing even in a digital payments environment.
However, he noted that the efforts to internationalize the won and innovate South Korea’s currency regime should not undermine the country’s financial stability. Therefore, the BOK must implement safeguards and a “macroprudential framework suited to the changed environment,” which it will discuss and develop.
Despite his pro-innovation stance, the new BOK governor failed to mention stablecoins during his inaugural speech, potentially signaling that the tokens could take a secondary role under his tenure.
Shin had previously addressed the topic, asserting that won-denominated stablecoins would play a role in the currency ‌ecosystem of the future and could co-exist with CBDCs and deposit tokens.
“I expect that central bank digital ​currencies and deposit tokens will be able to ​coexist with stablecoins in a manner that is ⁠supplementary and competitive to each other,” he said on April 14.
South Korea’s Stablecoin Legislation Stalls
It’s worth noting that stablecoins have been a crucial part of the country’s digital transformation and have dominated South Korea’s policy debates over the past year. Last year, lawmakers delayed the Second Phase of the Virtual Asset User Protection Act, known as the Digital Assets Act, due to a disagreement between the FSC and the BOK.
As reported by Bitcoinist, the highly anticipated legislation is expected to address the issuance and distribution of won-pegged tokens. However, the financial institutions couldn’t agree on the extent of banks’ role in the issuance of stablecoins, despite agreeing that financial institutions must be involved.
While the central bank pushed for a consortium of banks owning at least 51% of any stablecoin issuer seeking approval in the country, the FSC was concerned that giving banks a majority stake could reduce participation from tech firms and limit the market’s innovation.
Last week, South Korean lawmakers urged the government to prioritize stablecoin legislation. At a Korean Commercial Law Association conference in Seoul, Representative Kim Sang-hoon publicly asked the National Assembly to approve the Digital Asset Act.
The chairman of the Special Committee on Digital Assets and a key lawmaker from the ruling People Power Party (PPP) expressed concerns about the delay, warning that while politicians argue over governance structures, the market is moving without them.
“At a time when institutionalization is urgently needed, governance issues such as restrictions on major shareholders’ stakes have suddenly taken center stage in the discussion, while the essential discussions on market stability and support for innovation—which are the core of the bill—are being pushed to the sidelines,” he stated.

Bank Negara Malaysia has spent the past year rolling out sandbox pilots and tokenization roadmaps, and now one of the world&#8217;s biggest exchanges is backing a local platform to grow alongside it.
Bybit Returns With A Bigger Check
Bybit led an $8 million Series A round in Hata, a Kuala Lumpur-based digital asset exchange, with global family offices also putting money in.
It is not Bybit&#8217;s first bet on the company. The exchange previously led Hata&#8217;s $4.2 million seed round, making this a follow-on investment in a platform it already knows well.
According to the announcement, the new funds will go toward building liquidity, growing the user base, and adding more digital asset products.
Hata has been operating since 2023. In that time, it has signed up more than 209,000 registered users and processed roughly 1 billion Malaysian ringgit — about $225 million — in transaction volume this year alone.
For a licensed retail exchange still in its early years, those numbers show real momentum.
Two Licenses, One Platform
What sets Hata apart from many of its regional rivals is its regulatory standing. The platform holds licenses from both the Securities Commission Malaysia and the Labuan Financial Services Authority, which together allow it to offer trading and custody services for digital assets within the country.
That dual-licensed structure is uncommon and gives Hata a compliance foundation that unregistered offshore platforms cannot match.
Bybit CEO Ben Zhou pointed to Malaysia&#8217;s appeal directly. He called the country strategically important and cited its digitally engaged population and strong long-term appetite for digital asset adoption.
Bybit, reports indicate, ranks as the fifth-largest crypto exchange in the world by trading volume.
Malaysia Builds Its Digital Asset Framework
The investment lands at a moment when Malaysian regulators are actively shaping the rules of the road for digital assets.
Bank Negara Malaysia launched a Digital Asset Innovation Hub as a regulatory sandbox, opening it up to fintech and crypto firms to test use cases — among them ringgit-backed stablecoins, programmable payments, and supply chain financing, all under central bank oversight.
The central bank has also outlined a three-year roadmap for asset tokenization. Institutions including Standard Chartered, CIMB Group, and Maybank are taking part in three sandbox programs focused on tokenized bank deposits and cross-border settlement.

Greek maritime risk management firm MARISKS says it has received warnings about messages being sent to shipping operators whose vessels are currently stranded to the west of the waterway, offering “safe passage” through the strait in return for crypto payments.
Hormuz Ceasefire Push Meets Crypto Scam
During the same window of ceasefire talks, Iran—because it controls the chokepoint—has also proposed crypto toll arrangements for vessels seeking transit. 
The scam, according to Reuters, appears to mimic those discussions while steering targets toward fraudulent transfers rather than legitimate payment channels.
According to the warning, the scammers demand transit fees paid in Bitcoin (BTC) or in Tether&#8217;s USDT stablecoin, in exchange for what they describe as “clearance” to pass through the strait. 
MARISKS reports that the messages are not vague: they include a structured demand for crypto payments designed to pressure operators quickly and out of normal procedures.
Iran’s proposed legitimate system, as described through reporting and officials’ comments, could involve payments that start at roughly $1 per barrel—an amount that can translate into millions of dollars per voyage depending on the cargo and shipment size. 
Hamid Hosseini, a spokesperson for Iran’s Oil, Gas and Petrochemical Products Exporters’ Union, described an operational outline in which, after email documents from a ship are received, Iran completes an assessment and then gives vessels only seconds to make the payment in Bitcoin. 
The purpose, he said, is tied to sanctions risk: completing transactions rapidly is intended to help prevent payments from being traced or seized under sanctions-related enforcement regimes.
Alleged Firing On Vessels
These scams unfold against a broader backdrop of persistent tensions. Even while the US has kept its blockade of Iranian ports in place, Iran has reimposed its own blockade on the Strait of Hormuz. 
The strait remains a critical passageway: Reuters has noted that it carries about one-fifth of the world’s oil and liquid natural gas. That scale and importance help explain why operators under pressure may respond quickly to communications that appear to offer an end to delays.
On Saturday, attempts to move through the strait reportedly ran into violence. Reuters reported that ships tried to pass, and at least two vessels claimed Iranian boats fired at them. 
In its warning, MARISKS suggested that at least one of those vessels may have been a casualty of the crypto scam—raising the possibility that fraudulent “clearance” arrangements may be contributing to dangerous outcomes at sea, not just financial losses.
Bitcoin has retreated to $75,520 after starting above $77,000 on Tuesday. The cryptocurrency is consolidating between these levels as it has been unable to break above the immediate resistance at $78,500.

That detail alone tells you how divided — and how serious — the conversation inside Arbitrum&#8217;s security council got before the blockchain took its most dramatic action in recent memory.
A Council Under Pressure
Griff Green, a sitting member of the Arbitrum Security Council, said the group wrestled with the decision for hours. The debates covered technical, practical, ethical, and political ground before the vote was cast.
&#8220;We did not make this decision lightly,&#8221; Green posted on X. In the end, the council moved 30,766 Ether — worth roughly $71.2 million — out of a wallet linked to the Kelp protocol exploit and into what Arbitrum described as &#8220;an intermediary frozen wallet.&#8221;
I&#8217;m a member of the Security Council &amp; I can tell you we did not make this decision lightly, there were countless hours of debates, technical, practical, ethical and political.
But all it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing, so today, we decided to do… https://t.co/tArbmXwZKN
— Griff Green &#8211; griff.eth (@griffgreen) April 21, 2026
The funds cannot be touched by the address that originally held them. Only a further action by Arbitrum governance can move them now.
Law enforcement was part of the conversation. Arbitrum confirmed the council worked with authorities before acting, a detail that sets this incident apart from the usual back-and-forth that follows a DeFi hack.
The Arbitrum Security Council has taken emergency action to freeze the 30,766 ETH being held in the address on Arbitrum One that is connected to the KelpDAO exploit. The Security Council acted with input from law enforcement as to the exploiter’s identity, and, at all times,…

The Hack That Started It All
The chain of events began Saturday, when Kelp — a liquid restaking protocol — was hit through its LayerZero-powered bridge. Reports indicate the theft totaled at least $293 million.
LayerZero, the cross-chain messaging protocol involved, publicly pointed the finger at North Korea as the group behind the attack.
The damage did not stop at Kelp. Whoever carried out the exploit used stolen Kelp tokens to borrow other cryptocurrencies on Aave, the lending platform.
That move left Aave holding what risk managers described as bad debt — losses that spread through the broader crypto lending market because of how tightly connected these protocols are to one another.
so a council can just freeze 30k eth and we’re still calling this decentralized?
— Sandy.ETH (@david_lee2085) April 21, 2026
Backlash From The Community
Not everyone welcomed Arbitrum&#8217;s response. On X, several users pushed back hard, arguing that a blockchain capable of freezing funds on council orders cannot honestly call itself decentralized.
The criticism cuts at a long-standing tension in the crypto world: security measures that protect users can also be the same tools that override them.
Arbitrum said the council weighed its responsibilities carefully, taking care not to affect other users or running applications on the network.
Whether that assurance satisfies critics remains an open question. What is clear is that 30,000-plus ETH is now sitting in limbo, and the next move belongs to Arbitrum governance.

The moves are not dramatic, but the structure building beneath them may be more significant than the price action suggests. A GugaOnChain analysis is identifying a shift in institutional behavior that changes how the current consolidation should be read.
The analysis tracks three distinct address categories on Binance — accumulating addresses, stable whale addresses, and user deposit addresses — and the current alignment between them is unusually constructive. Accumulating addresses now number 2,434, having crossed above stable whale addresses at 2,410.
That crossover matters because it signals a behavioral migration: institutional participants who were previously holding stablecoins in a waiting posture are now actively executing — buying ETH and moving it into cold custody rather than keeping capital on the sidelines.
The deposit side of the equation completes the picture. Binance user deposit addresses — the metric that reflects how many addresses are sending ETH to the exchange with the intention to sell — stand at just 2,314, the lowest of the three figures. For every address positioning to sell, there are many more institutions either actively accumulating or positioned with capital ready to absorb any supply that does arrive.
Two Buyers for Every Seller — and the Clock Is Already Running
The ratio at the center of the GugaOnChain analysis is the number that reframes everything else. Combined buying pressure — active accumulation plus stablecoin-ready institutional capital — currently surpasses potential selling pressure at a ratio of 2.1 to 1. In practical terms, for every address sending ETH to Binance to sell, two institutional addresses are either actively buying or positioned to buy the moment supply appears.
The analysis describes the current $2,332 level as an armored glass floor — a price zone where the structural weight of institutional demand has become dense enough to absorb selling without giving ground.
The forward assessment the report makes is specific and confident. With the convergence index above 2.0, GugaOnChain assigns a 92% probability to a breakout scenario — citing historical precedent that when deposit addresses fall below accumulation addresses at this ratio, price expansion has consistently followed within 72 to 120 hours. The institutional market, as the report frames it, is actively draining Binance&#8217;s available ETH liquidity. When that process reaches its natural conclusion, the supply available to resist upward price movement simply runs out.
The risk scenario that would invalidate the setup is equally specific. A spike in Binance user deposit addresses above 2,600 — crossing above the stable whale line — would signal mass profit-taking and trigger a reversal alert. That threshold has not been approached.
What the data describes, taken in full, is a supply shock already in motion. The accumulation is real, the stablecoin positioning is real, and the selling pressure is outnumbered. The 72 to 120-hour window the analysis references has already started.
The market is consolidating. But underneath it, the balance of intent is shifting.
Ethereum Tests Long-Term Support as Market Rebuilds Structure
Ethereum is trading near the $2,300 level on the weekly timeframe, a zone that now sits at the intersection of multiple structural signals. After the sharp rejection from the $4,800 cycle high, ETH entered a sustained downtrend that culminated in a capitulation move toward the $1,600–$1,800 range earlier this year. Since then, price has staged a recovery, but the broader structure remains in transition rather than fully bullish.
The most relevant development is Ethereum reclaiming the 200-week moving average, which had briefly acted as resistance during the recovery. Holding above this level suggests that long-term support is being re-established, even as shorter-term moving averages remain compressed and directionless. The 50-week and 100-week averages are flattening, reflecting a market that is no longer trending decisively but instead building a base.
Price action reinforces this interpretation. The recent higher low relative to the February bottom indicates that sellers are losing control at the margin, but the inability to break above the $2,600–$3,000 region shows that demand has not yet reached expansion phase levels.
Volume has normalized after the capitulation spike, pointing to reduced forced selling. For Ethereum, the current structure is less about momentum and more about stabilization ahead of a potential larger move.

In Hoskinson’s telling, the April 18 attack exposed what he sees as the most fragile part of modern DeFi: not necessarily application-level smart contracts, but the verification layers and interdependencies that sit between protocols. He said the exploit, which involved about 116,500 rsETH drained from KelpDAO’s Ethereum escrow, should force a wider industry conversation about bridge trust assumptions, verifier design, and the speed at which bad collateral can spread through lending markets.
Cardano Founder Warns Of Dangerous Flaw At The Heart Of Ethereum DeFi
Rather than deliver a standard postmortem, Hoskinson said he took internal incident-report material and used AI to turn it into a website that walked viewers through the mechanics of the exploit. That structure framed his larger point: the failure, as he described it, did not begin with broken contract math inside KelpDAO itself, nor with an obvious accounting flaw at LayerZero. Instead, he said it centered on a forged cross-chain message that was accepted as legitimate and allowed funds to be released on Ethereum.
“So, this was not a smart contract issue with Kelp and this was not a smart contract issue with LayerZero, but this was a cross-chain message forgery,” Hoskinson said. “So this was something new and different.”
The Cardano founder repeatedly returned to one design choice in particular: the reported use of a one-of-one verifier configuration. In his explanation, best practice would be a multi-verifier model such as three-of-five, but KelpDAO’s setup relied on a single active DVN. That, he argued, created an unacceptable single point of failure in a system already layered with staking wrappers, restaking protocols, bridges, and lending venues.
“The failure was in the verification logic, not the application logic,” he said. “Kelp did everything right from their contracts. They’re audited. They’re working well. The application’s working well. It’s the bridge configuration.”
Hoskinson also emphasized that the industry still lacks a settled account of exactly where responsibility lies.
According to his summary, three separate root-cause analyses emerged after the exploit: one from LayerZero, one from KelpDAO, and one tied to LlamaRisk and Aave governance discussions but none fully agree. That leaves open whether the break occurred in the messaging layer, verifier setup, KelpDAO’s acceptance logic, or in the seams between them.
What made the event especially significant, in his view, was not only the theft itself but what happened next. Instead of dumping the stolen rsETH on decentralized exchanges, the attacker allegedly used it as collateral in lending markets to borrow more liquid assets. That turned an exploit into a balance-sheet problem for other protocols, leaving what Hoskinson described as poisoned collateral behind.
He called that dynamic the real novelty of the incident. “It wasn’t just a bridge hack. It spread to lending which then created bad debt contagion inside these lending protocols. It created a bank run and we saw $13 billion of TVL pulled in a very short period of time for a $290 million hack.”
The Cardano founder said the broader DeFi liquidity shock reached far beyond KelpDAO itself. Citing public reporting referenced in his walkthrough, he pointed to at least nine directly affected protocols and said Aave alone saw between $6.6 billion and $8.45 billion in losses, while rsETH traded in a volatile range between about $1,600 and $2,500 during the 24 hours following the attack.
He also raised the possibility of Lazarus involvement, though he acknowledged attribution remains unconfirmed. “There’s a lot of evidence here that there’s Lazarus connections,” he said, before adding that no independent forensics firms had definitively proven it.
At press time, Cardano (ADA) traded at $0.2504.

The incident began when an unknown attacker exploited a vulnerability in Kelp DAO&#8217;s LayerZero-powered bridge, draining 116,500 rsETH — approximately $292 million and roughly 18% of the token&#8217;s entire circulating supply. The scale of the theft triggered an emergency pause of Kelp DAO&#8217;s core contracts, but by then the damage was already done.
The stolen rsETH was subsequently deposited as collateral on Aave V3, where it was used to borrow approximately $196 million in wrapped ether, leaving Aave carrying bad debt it had no role in creating and setting off the confidence crisis that has defined the past week in DeFi.
Arbitrum&#8217;s Security Council acted by freezing 30,766 ETH — worth approximately $71 million at current prices — and moving the funds into a governance-controlled wallet. It was a meaningful intervention, executed quickly by blockchain standards.
The attacker did not wait to see what came next. Within hours of Arbitrum&#8217;s move, the hacker began reacting — a development that suggests the stolen funds are already in motion and that the window for on-chain recovery may be narrowing faster than the response can keep pace with.
$175 Million Is Already Moving — and the Debate It Leaves Behind Is Just Beginning
Arkham data confirms what many feared once Arbitrum acted. The Kelp DAO hacker has already moved all 75,701 ETH — approximately $175 million — on Ethereum and has begun laundering the funds. The Arbitrum freeze succeeded in capturing $71 million. The remaining $175 million, the larger share by a considerable margin, is now in motion and being actively obscured.
The arithmetic is stark. A coordinated intervention by one of DeFi&#8217;s most capable security councils froze less than 30% of the stolen funds. The rest left anyway.
That outcome has ignited a debate that extends well beyond Kelp DAO and Aave. Arbitrum&#8217;s ability to freeze wallet addresses — even in response to a clear theft — has prompted immediate questions about what blockchain immutability actually means in practice, and who holds the authority to override it. For some, the freeze represents responsible crisis response from a mature ecosystem defending its users. For others, it represents precisely the kind of centralized intervention that decentralized infrastructure was designed to prevent.
Both arguments are being made loudly, and neither is entirely wrong.
What is not in dispute is the damage this attack has inflicted on DeFi&#8217;s broader credibility. The Kelp DAO exploit exposed collateral risk in lending protocols, triggered an $8.45 billion deposit exodus from Aave, sent AAVE down nearly 20%, and has now produced a philosophical confrontation about the limits of decentralization at the worst possible moment — when the ecosystem most needs to project confidence.
rsETH Market Cap Reflects Instability in Kelp DAO’s Restaking Layer
The market cap of rsETH — the liquid restaking token issued by Kelp DAO — is currently hovering near $1.3 billion after a sharp contraction that disrupted its prior recovery structure. The chart shows that rsETH reached peaks above $2 billion during earlier phases, but has since entered a volatile, downward-adjusting range, reflecting stress within the restaking ecosystem rather than organic market cycles.
The most recent move is particularly notable. After a brief recovery toward the $1.6 billion region, the market cap was rejected and fell aggressively back toward the $1.3 billion level. This type of rapid expansion followed by equally sharp contraction typically signals forced unwinds rather than discretionary capital rotation. In this context, that aligns with the exploit involving Kelp DAO’s rsETH bridge, which introduced systemic uncertainty around the asset.
From a structural perspective, rsETH is now trading below its key moving averages, with the 200-day trend flattening and beginning to roll over. That suggests the growth phase that defined its earlier expansion has stalled, at least temporarily.
Because rsETH represents collateral within broader DeFi systems — including lending protocols — its market cap is not just a valuation metric, but a proxy for trust. The current compression indicates that confidence has weakened, and until stability returns, the restaking layer remains vulnerable to further volatility.

After years of relatively flat activity, a specific transaction type, the AccountSet, is now spiking to levels never seen before, adding to a surge in on-chain usage across the network. 
The increase in activity is playing out alongside rising transaction counts, expanding wallet activity, and growing institutional involvement in 2026, hinting that something more structural may be taking shape.
New Numbers On The XRP Ledger
What was once a rarely used function has now turned into one of the fastest-growing transaction categories on the ledger, with activity going on a huge vertical spike in 2026. Recent data shows that XRPL AccountSet transactions recently spiked to an all-time high, marking a break in years of muted activity and flat movement.
To understand why this matters, it is important to know what AccountSet transactions actually do, as they are not ordinary transfers or trades. They are used to configure an account’s settings on the XRP Ledger. This includes permissions, setting operational flags, linking identity domains, and preparing accounts for features.
Because of that, spikes in AccountSet transactions are a reflection of backend activity. They show that accounts are being set up, adjusted, or prepared for more advanced use cases. In practical terms, it points to infrastructure being built, not just coins being moved.
In this instance, AccountSet transactions climbed past 120,000, and this is a scale of activity that normal users cannot produce.
The Broader Transaction Surge: Nearly Three Million Daily
The AccountSet spike is part of a wider explosion in ledger activity that the numbers make difficult to dismiss. Daily transaction volume on the XRP Ledger recently surged to almost 3 million, a near-tripling of the approximately 1 million transactions recorded per day in mid-2025, according to data published by Evernorth, the largest public XRP treasury company. 
The trajectory of that growth was not a straight line upward. Monthly average transactions fluctuated between 800,000 and 950,000 from May through August 2025, before declining to lows around 700,000. However, monthly averages moved past 1 million early in 2026 and continued rising, and consistent high-volume days above 3 million are now the norm.
Furthermore, the ledger&#8217;s total wallet count recently breached a threshold not seen in its 13-year existence, as non-empty addresses have now crossed above 7.7 million.  
There is a disconnect between all of this activity and the XRP token price, which is well below its 2025 peak of $3.65. That disconnect has become a key point of focus among many crypto market participants. According to Zach Pandl, Head of Research at Grayscale Investments, regulatory clarity, specifically the passage of the CLARITY Act, could be the factor that leads to the anticipated repricing of XRP.

After years of existence, the Ledger has become one of the leading networks in the sector, challenging and surpassing the likes of Solana in terms of Real-World Assets (RWAs).
Real-World Assets Sharp Growth On The XRP Ledger
Tokenization is picking up pace at a significant rate across the cryptocurrency space. Currently, a notable shift is taking place in the race for real-world asset (RWA) dominance. This shift is particularly evident between the XRP Ledger and the Solana blockchain.
In terms of global rankings on RWAs, the Ledger has moved ahead of Solana, underscoring its growth in the tokenization space, where blockchain infrastructure is being integrated with traditional assets. The development highlights the growing need for platforms that are efficient, affordable, and scalable, in addition to signaling shifting competition dynamics across large networks.
As the RWA sector continues to expand, the Ledger now holds nearly $1.9 billion in tokenized assets, which marks a key moment in blockchain adoption. In a recent interview, featuring Hugo Philion, the co-founder of Flare Networks, the expert stated that the RWAs that are issued on the Ledger can be utilized in Flare’s compute layer with privacy and compliance.
Philion also made reference to the new escrow feature (TokenEscrow) created on the Ledger, expressing his excitement about the amendment. What makes this shift notable is that the XRP Ledger does not have the same kind of programmability as Solana, nor does it offer the same privacy as Canton does.
This achievement is likely to spark a fresh wave of utility for XRP in the near future. According to BankXRP, the Ledger flipping Solana is a massive real institutional momentum rather than speculative hype. Sharing insights into the new TokenEscrow amendment on the Ledger, the expert has called it a game-changer for cleanly holding and releasing tokenized assets.
When combining the governed settlement with the programmable and private computer layer of the Flare Networks, it leads to a future of compliance and yield-generating RWAs.
Ripple’s Plan To Make The Ledger Quantum-Ready
As the XRP Ledger secures more global coverage, Ripple Labs has recently announced a multi-phase plan to prepare the network for a post-quantum future, with a target for full readiness by 2028. Research from Google Quantum AI revealed that blockchain’s cryptography today, such as safe algorithms for wallets, is at risk of being broken by sufficiently advanced quantum computers.
The Ripple’s Quantum-ready plan for the Ledger is being executed in 4 different phases. These include the Post-quantum recovery, the Proactive planning and experimentation, the Exploration of post-quantum primitives, and the Full transition for PQ signatures.
Ripple’s team has been working ahead of this curve. With the multi-phased strategy, the firm is carefully migrating a live, global financial infrastructure without compromising the value of digital assets covered by the Ledger.

Here&#8217;s how many blocks are still to go.
Bitcoin Halving Will Occur At Block Height 1,050,000
The &#8220;Halving&#8221; is a predetermined event on the Bitcoin network that slashes the cryptocurrency&#8217;s block subsidy exactly in half. It&#8217;s periodic in nature, occurring every 210,000 blocks or about every four years. The last such event took place in 2024.
Why did Satoshi write this feature into the blockchain&#8217;s code? The answer to that lies in the role played by the block subsidy on the network. The block subsidy is the BTC compensation that miners receive whenever they add a new block to the chain. It happens to be the only way more of the cryptocurrency enters circulation, so it can be equated to the production of the asset.
If this reward remains constant, miners will keep flooding the same number of coins into the market, which can have a negative effect on the asset&#8217;s value over time. With the Halving in place, however, the production rate of the cryptocurrency keeps shrinking, thus making new tokens scarcer. This is the reason why Satoshi implemented the feature: the pseudonymous creator wanted to mitigate the inflation of the asset.
As mentioned earlier, the Halving occurs every 210,000 blocks. The next event, which will be the fifth Halving on the network, will occur at block height 1,050,000. As the countdown from NiceHash shows, Bitcoin is sitting at around 946,000 blocks right now, meaning that it&#8217;s over halfway through the 210,000-block journey to the next event.
Initially, Bitcoin started out with a block subsidy of 50 BTC. After four Halving events, the reward&#8217;s value stands at 3.125 BTC today. The next Halving event, which is currently estimated to occur in November 2028, will further slash the block subsidy to 1.5625 BTC.
While the Halving is periodic, there won&#8217;t be an infinite number of instances of this event. This is due to the fact that Satoshi also put a cap on the cryptocurrency&#8217;s supply. Once miners have introduced 21 million tokens into circulation, they won&#8217;t be handed out block subsidies anymore. Past that point, Halvings would naturally lose all meaning.
The fact that there is a supply cap is a troublesome fact for miners, as they earn the majority of their income via the block subsidy. With each Halving that occurs en route to this endpoint, miners&#8217; BTC revenue shrinks, and they have to count on the cryptocurrency&#8217;s price going up over time to sustain their USD income.
While this has worked so far, in the long run, miners will have to hope for transaction fees to grow in size enough to provide them with sufficient income on their own. For now, they are still very much dependent on the block subsidy.
BTC Price
At the time of writing, Bitcoin is floating around $76,800, up more than 3% in the last seven days.

According to the analyst, Bitcoin is showing signs of repeating the same MACD, signaling a potential bullish turnaround ahead. He noted that the cryptocurrency’s bottom is not yet in, expecting another major price decline before an explosion to a new all-time high.  
Bitcoin Historical Cycle Patterns Signal Ongoing Reset Phase
In an X post, Merlijn The Trader urged investors and traders to pay close attention to Bitcoin’s monthly MACD, which is currently emerging on its price chart. Despite past appearances leading to a parabolic surge, the analyst believes this MACD may not trigger an instant pump but could shift momentum, gradually driving a sustained price rally. 
According to Merlijn The Trader, Bitcoin is in a momentum reset phase that has occurred three times in its history, and a massive bull run followed each previous instance. The analyst shared a chart, divided by four vertical green lines at 2015, 2019, 2023, and 2026. Each of these lines represents areas where bearish momentum peaked and began exhausting itself. 
Additionally, the analyst marked several triangle formations in each cycle, in which the price made lower highs while support held, leading to a breakout. In every past cycle highlighted on the chart, a breakout from this symmetrical triangle pattern led to an explosive upside that took Bitcoin’s price to new highs.   
For instance, during the 2023 cycle, Bitcoin declined to below $20,000 as its price remained compressed within the triangle pattern. However, after a breakout, it skyrocketed above $100,000 in 2025, underscoring a sustained, gradual rally. The same trend is seen during the 2015 and 2019 cycles, with a triangle breakout determining Bitcoin’s upside move.
The monthly MACD plays a key role in this historical pattern, as the indicator had flipped into positive territory before each bull rally. At the time, Bitcoin’s MACD had moved from deep red into a light pink territory halfway through the price bottom. Merlijn The Trader noted that this single change was a key signal of an upcoming Bitcoin bull run. 
BTC’s Current MACD And ATH Outlook
For this current cycle, Merlijn The Trader argues that Bitcoin has not yet reached its true market bottom. He noted that the price action is closely mirroring the patterns from 2015, 2019, and 2023. The cryptocurrency has already developed a similar long-term triangle pattern on its chart, where price has been compressing and trending lower for months. 
Based on historical behavior, Bitcoin typically forms a complete bottom after the monthly MACD flips pink. Merlijn The Trader has confirmed that the indicator has already flipped pink, suggesting it’s only a matter of time before BTC reaches a final price floor. 
Once this bottoming phase is complete, the analyst believes BTC could begin its highly anticipated bull run. However, he stresses that this move would likely only begin after the cryptocurrency breaks out of its bearish triangle structure. If this scenario plays out, his chart projection points to a potential all-time high rally toward $209,596 by 2027, with a possible extended move reaching as high as $283,500.

After this period of upward price action, both coins are now being moved to leading cryptocurrency exchanges, reflecting a shift in sentiment.
Renewed Bitcoin And Ethereum Exchange Inflows
A resurgence in exchange activity is emerging across the cryptocurrency market, particularly with Bitcoin and Ethereum, the two leading digital assets. Binance and Coinbase are experiencing a sharp wave of BTC and ETH inflows, reaching levels not seen in months.
In a research, Arab Chain, a data analyst and author at CryptoQuant, revealed that inflows of Bitcoin and Ethereum have climbed back to levels last seen in February on Binance and Coinbase. As prices gain momentum, the uptick indicates that more holders are moving their coins to these exchanges, possibly with the aim of selling to secure gains.
Following a period of relative calm, this return to earlier activity levels suggests a significant change in flow dynamics. Should this trend continue, it may trigger renewed selling pressure, which could translate into volatility or play a role in shaping the market’s next direction.
Arab Chain stated that the ETH and BTC flow data to trading platforms indicates a substantial shift in liquidity behavior in recent periods. This reflects a steady return of activity to the market after a relative decline phase. With exchange inflows now at their highest level since February, it is clear that assets are being moved toward trading platforms once again.
Data shows that inflows on Binance have reached approximately $7.49 billion, while on Coinbase, they are valued at nearly $7.60 billion in the latest readings. Arab Chain highlighted that this move is often associated with heightened trading intent or readiness to sell, especially during significant price movements or periods of uncertainty.
As investors&#8217; behavior shifts, some are currently opting to move their assets to exchanges to capitalize on higher liquidity or to execute short-term trading strategies. Furthermore, the fact that inflows have hit their highest points since February suggests that trading activity in the market is picking up speed in comparison to earlier periods.
On the other hand, Arab Chain asserted that this signal is not entirely negative as it sometimes reflects stronger overall market activity rather than a phase of pure selling pressure. In many cases, higher inflows precede increased trading volumes and improved liquidity, a trend that is capable of supporting market stability in the short term.
BTC Shifting Price Dynamics
In the bullish period, the Bitcoin price is set to undergo a crucial shift that could influence its market dynamics. Onchainmind on X shared that BTC’s floor is climbing, which is the real macro story. Currently, the Realized Price of Long-term BTC holders is positioned at $45,000. However, the expert claims that the price is projected to move higher toward the $50,000 mark over the next 90 days. 
When the cost basis for long-term conviction rises this aggressively as top buyers pivot from STHs to LTHs, it demonstrates that the most committed holders are anchoring the market at higher levels. It is worth noting that this trend can be seen as a sign of underlying resilience and potential for a sustained uptrend.

Speaking on Ripple’s Onchain Economy series in an episode published April 20, Arrington argued that Ripple and XRP have been “completely misunderstood” over the past decade, and said the company’s recent push across stablecoins, prime brokerage, acquisitions and product development could help pull more startups and institutional participants into the ecosystem.
Why XRP Is Becoming Crypto’s Infrastructure Standard
Arrington tied that view directly to what he sees as Ripple’s growing role as an infrastructure provider. “A lot of the things that Ripple is doing around XRP, particularly the stablecoin, I think makes it inevitable that we’re going to see an increasing number of these startups focusing on building on that ecosystem as well,” he said. “I think we’ll be there to invest in that evolution.”
That framing matters because Arrington was not pitching token primarily as a speculative asset. Instead, he described Ripple’s strategy as an attempt to build foundational market structure for crypto firms and institutions that still lack the tooling available in traditional finance. He said hedge funds operating in digital assets need more robust infrastructure, “not just for compliance,” but for basic market function, custody and execution.
Arrington also pointed to Ripple’s acquisition of Hidden Road, which he referred to as being rebranded as Ripple Prime, as a concrete example of that thesis. “It’s just a prime broker at its essentially. Seems so simple and prime brokers are a dime a dozen in the real world, but in crypto, we’ve never found one that’s very good,” he said. “So it’s going to be a huge business and like a backbone of what Ripple and XRP become. And we need that infrastructure like super badly.”
The remarks fit with a broader point Arrington made throughout the interview: that Ripple’s differentiation was visible early, even in the more chaotic phases of crypto’s first major venture cycle. Looking back on 2017, he recalled an ICO market flooded with projects, many of which later failed despite the burst of activity. He said that period helped push him from a traditional Silicon Valley venture fund into crypto full time, and added that he first bought XRP in 2017 when it was trading in the 3-cent to 5-cent range.
History will tell the story of XRP and Ripple as a fundamental part of our ecosystem.&#8221;

He also argued that the public image lagged behind what Ripple was actually building. “Ripple and XRP have been completely misunderstood in the last decade,” Arrington said. “Skeptics of XRP would call it either corporate coin, the banking coin, and I think history will tell a story about XRP and Ripple that’s it’s a fundamental part of our ecosystem.”
For Arrington, that misreading has obscured what he described as a mission-driven company that has stayed unusually consistent over time. “If Ripple, which is very mission-focused, has shown that over at least the last decade, can continue to hyperfocus on what their mission is and then execute on that, there is no upper limit on the value of that ecosystem in general,” he said.
At press time, XRP traded at $1.44.

The pundit had earlier highlighted how key the crypto bill is for XRP, predicting that it could lead to massive growth for the token.
XRP Pundit Gives Key Updates On CLARITY Act
In an X post, X Finance Bull alluded to statements by key political figures indicating progress on the CLARITY Act. This includes White House crypto advisor Patrick Witt, who said that a compromise between the banks and the crypto industry on the stablecoin yield text. Witt also mentioned that they are looking to close out the remaining issues. 
The XRP pundit further highlighted Senator Mark Warner’s statement about how they have made more progress in four days than in four months. Senator Cynthia Lummis also said that the clash on stablecoin rewards was 99% resolved. 
Meanwhile, Senator Bill Hagerty and Coinbase’s Chief Policy Officer (CPO) Faryar Shirzad both expect the CLARITY Act’s markup to happen this month, although that is looking unlikely. The XRP pundit alleged that the crypto provisions are in good shape and that what remains is political negotiation over community bank deregulation, housing packages, and ethics provisions regarding U.S. President Donald Trump’s involvement in crypto. 
X Finance Bull also claimed that issues around DeFi and commodity classifications have been settled, which is a positive for the CLARITY Act’s advancement. The XRP pundit highlighted that time is of the essence. He alluded to Galaxy Research’s statement that the crypto bill must pass within weeks. 
At the same time, Senator Lummis has warned that failing to pass the bill now will mean they will need to wait until 2030. The XRP pundit noted how the advancement of the CLARITY Act could serve as a tailwind for every crypto asset under a regulatory cloud. 
CLARITY Act Markup May Be Delayed
According to a Punchbowl report, Senator Thom Tillis has told the Senate Banking Committee Chair Tim Scott that the panel should not plan to advance the CLARITY Act this month. Senator Tillis, alongside Senator Angela Alsobrooks, has been mediating between the banks and the crypto industry to resolve the clash over stablecoin rewards. 
Senator Tillis said that the negotiators need more time to finalize a compromise between the banks and the crypto industry on stablecoin yield. The senator suggested that they could now look to a May markup for the crypto bill rather than an April markup. Amid this potential delay for the crypto bill, X Finance Bull has stated that the crypto bill could serve as a bullish catalyst for XRP. He declared that those who bought early and did not get shaken out are going to “eat good.”

The action, brought on Tuesday, accuses the crypto companies of violating state law by allegedly operating prediction markets in a way that falls under New York’s rules for illegal gambling.
Coinbase And Gemini Lawsuit
According to complaints filed in Manhattan state court and reviewed by Reuters, James says both Coinbase (COIN) and Gemini (GEMI) failed to obtain the necessary licenses from the New York State Gaming Commission to run their prediction markets. 
James’ argument hinges on New York’s legal definition of gambling. She claims the outcomes in these markets are either outside the control of those placing bets or resemble games of chance, which, in her view, means they should be regulated as gambling rather than treated as a legitimate market activity. 
The attorney general also alleges that the platforms are accessible to users younger than the legal age limit. Her complaint says Coinbase and Gemini permitted 18- to 20-year-olds to use their platforms, even though New York law sets 21 as the minimum age for mobile sports betting.
James also framed the case as a matter of regulation, not branding. “Gambling by another name is still gambling, and it is not exempt from regulation under our state laws and Constitution,” she said in a statement.
COIN And GEMI Fall After New York Filing
The lawsuit seeks several forms of relief. The attorney general is asking the court to require repayment of profits deemed illegal, along with civil penalties equal to triple those profits and restitution to customers. 
James also wants the court to block Coinbase and Gemini from allowing anyone under 21 to place wagers. In addition, she is seeking restrictions on how the companies market their platforms, including a request to bar them from promoting the services on college campuses.
As of the time of writing, no additional details about the case had been disclosed, and no official statements had been issued publicly by Coinbase or Gemini executives. 
Instead, the companies’ exposure to the news was reflected in market reaction. COIN fell about 10%, trading around the $200 level, while GEMI dropped roughly 4%, moving below $5.

For market watchers, this latest roundup highlights the strong bullish fundamentals supporting XRP, despite its recent poor price performance. Moreover, the positive developments may present a stronger and more compelling buy case for investors. 
Major Developments That Strengthen XRP’s Buy Case
In an X post this week, crypto market analyst Iso Ledger shared a detailed overview of XRP and Ripple’s recent milestones, highlighting the asset’s strengths across regulation, finance, and blockchain infrastructure. His remarks framed XRP as an increasingly established digital asset with expanding relevance and adoption across global financial markets and the crypto space. 
According to Iso Ledger, one of the most significant developments occurred on March 17, 2026, when the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) named XRP a digital commodity in joint guidance with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). The designation officially confirmed that the altcoin was not a security, marking a major regulatory development after over seven years of legal debate surrounding the asset.
The analyst also pointed to Ripple receiving conditional approval from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) for a national trust bank charter, as part of a group of 11 companies seeking federal banking licenses. On April 1, 2026, the OCC’s new rule expanding trust bank activities took effect, moving Ripple closer to full operational status. Notably, the crypto company was listed alongside recognized digital finance firms, including Circle, Fidelity Digital Assets, Paxos, and BitGo. 
Outlining more positive developments, Iso Ledger cited Ripple Prime, formerly known as Hidden Road before Ripple’s $1.25 billion acquisition and rebrand in 2025. Iso Ledger noted that Ripple Prime went live on March 2, 2026, describing it as a $3 trillion annual clearing platform now positioned within Wall Street’s post-trade infrastructure. He also highlighted a Goldman Sachs filing that reportedly disclosed a $153 million stake in XRP, underscoring the cryptocurrency’s growing adoption among institutional investors. 
In addition to these achievements, the analyst added that seven XRP Spot ETFs are already live, with combined assets under management (AUM) exceeding $1.5 billion. He noted that more than 771 million XRP were locked in those investment products, highlighting sustained institutional demand and a significant reduction in its circulating supply. 
More Ripple Achievements
In his post, Iso Ledger also outlined several banking moves achieved by Ripple. He noted that Deutsche Bank now uses Ripple for cross-border payments and foreign exchange. Additionally, Aviva Investors became the first European asset manager to tokenize funds on the XRP Ledger (XRPL), while the Société Générale EURCV euro stablecoin is now live on the ledger.
What’s more, Convera, a B2B fintech company handling over $190 billion yearly across 200 countries, is using Ripple’s network and stablecoin settlement. In Asia, Rakuten Wallet also added the altcoin, linking it to 44 million users and 5 million merchants. Furthermore, Kyoto Life Insurance, a top Korean insurer, started tokenizing government bonds through Ripple Custody.
At the 2026 XRP Tokyo conference, speakers showed that the cryptocurrency offers up to 60% cost savings versus SWIFT and adds 12 new currency pairs. Moreover, multinational banks such as BBVA, BNP Paribas, and Citi currently support the SWIFT blockchain ledger and are clients of Ripple Custody. 
Iso Ledger also noted that Ripple has applied for a Federal Reserve Master Account, and is expected in Q2 or Q3 2026. On the security side, the highly anticipated XLS-66d proposal is currently in validator voting on the ledger. If activated, it could introduce native on-chain lending on the blockchain. Notably, the analyst also outlines several additional developments, focusing on XRP’s transaction speed compared to SWIFT’s and other key milestones.

Maritime risk firm Marisks flagged the possibility in a warning issued Monday, though it stopped short of confirming the link.
The warning describes a scam targeting ship owners whose vessels are stuck west of the strait. Unknown groups have been sending messages to these companies, claiming to represent Iranian security services and offering safe passage in exchange for transit fees paid in Bitcoin or Tether (USDT).
Fake Officials, Real Consequences
Marisks was direct: the messages are fraudulent. They do not come from Iranian authorities, the firm said.
Tehran has not publicly addressed the situation.
The scam follows a pattern designed to look credible. Recipients are told to submit documents for review. Once verified, they are assigned a fee in cryptocurrency. Pay it, the messages say, and safe transit will be arranged at an agreed time.
It is a structured process — one built to look official enough that desperate ship owners might believe it.
The timing is no accident. The Strait of Hormuz has been largely closed since conflict escalated in the Middle East. Before hostilities, the waterway carried roughly 20% of the world&#8217;s oil and liquefied natural gas.
Ships have been stranded for days, some under threat of armed intervention. That pressure creates exactly the kind of desperation scammers rely on.
Reports earlier this month indicated that Iran itself had been weighing a real Bitcoin-denominated toll on vessels passing through the strait — charging around $1 per barrel for loaded tankers while letting empty ships through free.
The scam appears to have grown directly out of that reporting, borrowing its credibility from a policy that was already in the news.
Sanctions Risk Adds To The Danger
For shipping companies tempted to pay, the financial and legal exposure goes beyond losing money to criminals.
According to Chainalysis senior intelligence analyst Kaitlin Martin, any cryptocurrency transfer tied to Iranian-controlled waterways could be classified as material support — a designation that puts companies in potential violation of US and international sanctions.
Entities linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps fall under some of the strictest sanctions in force.
That means victims of the scam could face legal scrutiny even after being defrauded. Paying what appears to be a ransom to free a stranded vessel could trigger the same sanctions mechanisms designed to punish deliberate violators.

In a post published April 20, Narula said Bitcoin does not need “100% of the answers immediately” before taking meaningful action. Instead, she argued for a staged approach: deploy a post-quantum-safe output type and signature scheme through a soft fork, coordinate wallet and application support around it, and push users toward migration well before any true quantum emergency arrives.
Bitcoin Needs Low-Risk Quantum Defenses Now
Her core thesis is straightforward. “We should make the low-harm, low-risk, high-benefit, safety-critical mitigations NOW, and save the high-harm, high-risk mitigations for LATER, when we know with more certainty a CRQC is close,” she wrote, using CRQC to refer to a cryptographically relevant quantum computer.
The proposal Narula favors centers on P2MR, described in BIP 360, combined with a new post-quantum signature opcode and cryptographic agility. In her framing, that combination would allow Bitcoin users to move funds into an output type that remains safe against a quantum attacker, provided they do not reveal a non-post-quantum public key through address reuse or similar behavior.
“If this is done, it gives Bitcoin users the ability to move their coins to a safe output type immediately, having confidence their coins are safe even if a powerful CRQC appears, without worrying about future softforks,” she wrote. “The best candidate for this I have seen so far is P2MR (BIP 360) in conjunction with a new PQ signature opcode and cryptographic agility.”
Narula’s case is not that this solves everything. It does not. She draws a clear distinction between protecting individual users who migrate early and protecting Bitcoin as a system if a large share of coins remains vulnerable. That unresolved portion, which she labels X, is central to the longer-term debate. If only a negligible amount of bitcoin remains exposed, she suggests the network could likely absorb the risk. If the number is large, the situation could become far more destabilizing.
“At the very least I’d say it depends on exact numbers,” she wrote. “If only 0.0001% of coins are insecure, I think Bitcoin will be fine. If 20% of coins are insecure, I think things would probably get pretty chaotic if a CRQC would appear.”
Still, Narula argues that uncertainty over X should not delay the first step. A migration path would generate real on-chain data about adoption and give Bitcoin time to reduce the vulnerable share before the network is forced into more contentious decisions. In her telling, the difficult debate over whether old, inactive or lost coins should eventually be frozen can wait.
“Most importantly, we do not have to decide what to do with people who are unlikely to show up to do anything at all (Satoshi’s coins) right now in order to make progress,” she wrote. “Eventually, if a CRQC seems close, we will have to make a decision one way or the other… But resolving that conversation is not needed to make useful, meaningful progress.”
Narula also pushed back on ideas she sees as distractions or inferior near-term solutions. She dismissed the notion that research proof-of-concept approaches, such as manually constructing post-quantum verification in script or relying on expensive escape-hatch mechanisms, should anchor Bitcoin’s main response. Those ideas may be technically possible, she said, but not operationally suitable for broad deployment.
She also acknowledged the tradeoffs. P2MR would reduce one of Taproot’s efficient privacy properties by eliminating the key spend path, and it depends on wallets handling address reuse correctly. She flagged those as real downsides, but not enough to outweigh the benefit of giving users a way to protect funds without waiting for a second, more politically fraught soft fork.
The roadmap Narula sketched leaves Bitcoin’s hardest governance questions unresolved. That is the point. Her argument is that the network should stop treating perfect alignment as a prerequisite for obvious preparation.
At press time, Bitcoin traded at $75,802.
