Bitcoin accumulation is intensifying from the top down. Whales holding over 10K BTC are near peak accumulation levels (~0.95), while mid-tier holders (1K–10K and 100–1K BTC) remain steady around 0.8–0.9. Notably, 10–100 BTC wallets are shifting toward accumulation (~0.6). However, smaller holders—those with under 10 BTC—continue to act as net distributors, indicating a divergence in market behavior.

A massive $45.73 million in liquidations hit $ALPACA, shaking up the market. Among the hardest hit was a single trader who lost $3.98 million in one position. The sudden wipeout highlights rising volatility and risk in the DeFi space, as leveraged positions become increasingly vulnerable to sharp market moves. Traders are now watching closely for further liquidation cascades.

At TOKEN2049 Dubai, BlackRock’s Robert Mitchnick revealed that Bitcoin ETF inflows are rebounding, but now driven more by institutional investors than retail. He noted retail dominance is shrinking quarterly as wealth managers step in. Mitchnick dismissed the idea of Bitcoin as a tech stock proxy and emphasized its value as a hedge. Interest in altcoin ETFs, he added, remains limited.

At TOKEN2049 Dubai, VanEck’s CEO expressed optimism about a potential Solana ETF, stating, “We’re hoping for a Solana ETF approval.” As institutional interest in altcoins grows, VanEck’s push signals rising confidence in Solana’s ecosystem. A Solana ETF, if approved, would mark a major milestone in expanding crypto investment options beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Bill Morgan, a prominent pro-XRP attorney, pointed out an unusual timing in the SEC’s decision to delay the XRP ETF approval to June 17, 2025. The date falls just after the 60-day deadline for the SEC to file a status report in its appeal against Ripple, as mandated by the court on April 16. Morgan suggests the overlap may not be coincidental, hinting at a strategic alignment in regulatory proceedings.

At Token2049 in Dubai, Maelstrom CIO Arthur Hayes urged investors to “go long everything,” predicting a surge in crypto and stocks. He expects U.S. money printing and rising liquidity to drive Bitcoin to $1 million by 2028. Despite economic fears and Trump’s tariffs, Hayes believes hedge funds will step in through Treasury buybacks, boosting market momentum.

Only five days remain until the U.S. Treasury Secretary must deliver an evaluation on creating and managing a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, as directed by Trump’s March 6 executive order. The report will address legal, financial, and legislative aspects of consolidating seized Bitcoin and other digital assets into national reserves, potentially shaping the future of U.S. crypto regulation and infrastructure.

U.S. federal court has permanently blocked the Treasury’s OFAC from reimposing sanctions on Tornado Cash. The ruling defends the legality of open-source crypto tools, setting a key precedent for future regulation. Meanwhile, Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm still faces charges, with his next hearing set for July 2025. On the ruling day, the DeFi Education Fund urged the White House to drop the case, citing risks to U.S. crypto innovation.

Libre plans to tokenize $500 million of Telegram’s outstanding bonds as the Telegram Bond Fund (TBF) on the TON blockchain, offering institutional-grade yields to accredited investors. Backed by firms like Brevan Howard and Nomura’s Laser Digital, the fund aims to unlock utility by making bonds usable as collateral in DeFi. This move highlights the growing trend of tokenizing real-world assets (RWAs) to bridge traditional finance with blockchain ecosystems.

Bitcoin edged closer to $96,000 for the first time in over two months, rising 1% on Tuesday, while broader crypto and stock markets also gained despite tariff-induced economic concerns. Bitcoin Cash led the crypto rally with a 6.3% surge. However, Bitwise’s Jeff Park warned the market may be ignoring deeper risks tied to U.S. creditworthiness and the long-term impact of dollar weaponization, calling current optimism “mispriced.”

Alex Thorn of Galaxy Digital warns that quantum computing poses a greater risk to Bitcoin than most realize. He says solutions are more difficult than expected and affect all cryptocurrencies using public key cryptography. Thorn cautions that a quantum attack could happen without warning and would be a national security issue. The concern isn’t limited to Bitcoin—every crypto is at risk from future quantum breakthroughs.

Bitcoin is stabilizing around $95,000 and could rally toward $100,000 if it breaks key resistance. Ethereum is hovering near $1,800 and may target $2,000 with a breakout above $1,861. XRP is holding support at $2.20 and could climb to $3 if the momentum continues. All three show bullish signs, backed by healthy RSI levels, but failure to hold key supports could lead to short-term pullbacks.
