A senadora dos EUA Kirsten Gillibrand disse em uma cúpula em Washington, D.C., que os emissores de stablecoin devem ser impedidos de oferecer oportunidades de rendimento para proteger o sistema bancário tradicional que concede hipotecas residenciais e empréstimos para pequenas empresas.

Em 26 de março, a senadora democrata de Nova York elogiou o estado de Nova York por ter uma das regulamentações financeiras mais rigorosas do mundo na Blockchain Summit D.C. 2025 e disse que todas as indústrias de serviços financeiros deveriam adotá-las.

Gillibrand disse que essas regulamentações precisam se aplicar aos emissores de stablecoin, sejam eles regulamentados em nível estadual ou federal, para garantir a conformidade com as leis existentes e proteger a segurança do consumidor.

David Pakman, sócio-gerente da empresa de investimentos em criptomoedas CoinFund, disse que o fornecimento global de stablecoins pode aumentar para US$ 1 trilhão até o final de 2025, potencialmente se tornando um catalisador importante para o crescimento no mercado mais amplo de criptomoedas.
“Estamos no meio de um boom de adoção de stablecoin que provavelmente crescerá substancialmente este ano”, disse Pakman durante a transmissão ao vivo Chainreaction on X do Cointelegraph em 27 de março. “Só neste ano, o valor de nossa stablecoin pode ir de US$ 225 bilhões para US$ 1 trilhão.”

Como o Bitcoin continua a ser o ativo digital mais seguro e valioso, a sua liquidez é muitas vezes difícil de ser explorada por ecossistemas de rápido crescimento, como o Solana e o Ethereum. Diferentes blockchains exigem frequentemente métodos de ponte dispendiosos ou complexos (envolvendo riscos de custódia ou ativos encapsulados) para aceder à liquidez do Bitcoin.

O preço da Ethereum está estagnado há meses, mas os investidores institucionais apostam que o preço da Ethereum pode ser revertido. Dados da Comissão de Negociação de Futuros de Commodities dos EUA (CFTC) mostram que “investidores experientes” acreditam que o preço atual está sobrevendido e está aumentando as posições longas nos futuros da Ethereum.

O interesse dos comerciantes institucionais em ativos digitais permanece forte. Grandes empresas como Citadel Securities, Susquehanna International e Jane Street Capital são participantes ativos no mercado de criptomoedas.

A CFTC publica semanalmente o Relatório de Posição do Negociador (COT), que acompanha as tendências de negociação de criptomoedas. O relatório ajuda a aumentar a transparência do mercado.

De acordo com os últimos dados do COT de 25 de março, os traders experientes acreditam que o preço de $2.068 da Ethereum está sobrevendido. Nas últimas três semanas, eles tiveram duas semanas para aumentar suas posições longas.

Stablecoins like USDT (Tether) are cryptocurrencies pegged to a stable asset, usually the U.S. dollar. One USDT is typically equal to one dollar, providing price stability for traders and investors. Stablecoins are widely used in crypto trading to avoid volatility and enable quick, low-cost transfers. They're also important in DeFi and cross-border payment systems.

A whitepaper is a document released by a crypto project detailing its technology, goals, tokenomics, and roadmap. It helps investors understand the project’s vision and use cases. Reading the whitepaper is one of the first steps of DYOR (Do Your Own Research) and is key to evaluating project legitimacy.

Token utility defines how a cryptocurrency is used within its ecosystem. Utilities include paying fees, staking, governance, or accessing services. The more useful and in-demand a token is, the more likely it will retain or grow in value. A token with no clear utility often struggles to gain long-term adoption.

You’ve probably seen “crypto millionaires” online — but what you don’t see are the people who lost everything due to greed, scams, or ignorance. This channel exists to teach you how to avoid that. We focus on discipline, risk management, and solid research — because real success is built, not guessed.

Top analyst Daan shared a technical analysis that highlights the importance of Ethereum's recent trend. Daan said that this week's huge candlestick (also one of the largest candlesticks in many years) was driven by a combination of technical breakthroughs and short squeezes, catching a large number of short positions off guard.

This surge not only offsets the recent bearish structure, but also marks a structural shift in market momentum. As Ethereum continues to enter new areas and investor confidence continues to grow, the market seems to be poised for a new round of strength. If ETH continues to maintain above current levels, this may pave the way for the subsequent trend of altcoins and may become the strongest altcoin season since 2021.

The article evaluates the performance of multiple crypto AI projects in terms of ecosystem construction, product iteration, community distribution and token value. It believes that Virtuals is the strongest in terms of speed and heat maintenance. Although CreatorBid is slow in execution, it has a clear vision and focuses on the Bittensor intelligent agent ecosystem, and its long-term potential is promising. The overall AI agent track is still in its early stages, and the focus may shift to infrastructure and real consumption scenarios in the future.

The following is the original content (the original content has been reorganized for easier reading and understanding):

It has been about 7 months since the AI ​​Agent craze began. The wave started with the birth of @truth_terminal ➙ @pmarca invested in it ➙ Someone issued a token for it ➙ It started to promote the token ➙ @virtuals_io launched an agent tokenization platform ➙ AIDOL and conversational agent phases appeared ➙ alpha agent phase, @aixbt_agent rose ➙ framework phase, @elizaOS (formerly ai16z) launched an open AI developer movement ➙ Small-scale AI x game attempts (but no one survived) ➙ DeFAI phase (vision is still strong, but execution is insufficient)

This is roughly a summary of the main stages of the AI ​​Agent track.

Evolving from these stages, there are a few reliable AI agent teams - they are still active and continue to launch new products and new features (although they are mainly maintained by the transaction fee income accumulated in the early stage).

Bitfarms reported $2.1 million in net financial income for the first quarter of 2025, a sharp decline from $11.4 million in the same period a year earlier, due to reduced gains on derivatives and warrant revaluations.

Bitfarms said in its latest Management’s Discussion and Analysis of the first quarter performance that the lower financial income contributed to a wider net loss of $35.9 million, compared to a $6 million net loss in the first quarter of 2024.

Gains from revaluating warrant liabilities tied to the company’s 2023 private placement decreased $3.4 million, primarily driving the $9.3 million year-over-year drop in financial income. The fair value of these liabilities fell at a slower rate during the quarter than similar adjustments recorded in the previous year.

Additionally, Bitfarms recorded a $6.2 million swing in derivative-related performance, including a $2.2 million net loss from its Bitcoin (BTC) Redemption Option and a $1.5 million loss from the Bitcoin One Program.

The latter comprised a $6.3 million unrealized loss on open positions, partially offset by $4.8 million in realized gains. In the first quarter of 2024, the company had booked a $2.5 million gain from unrealized appreciation in Synthetic HODL derivative contracts.

The following is a guest post and opinion of Dr. Benjamin Beckmann, CTO at Midnight.

Blockchain technology leaves us far more exposed than you might realize – certainly more exposed than the traditional financial system does.

Take the example of buying a cup of coffee. In the traditional financial system, the transaction is simple: you tap your card and walk away. The barista forgets about it as soon as it’s done, and your bank ensures that nobody has access to your transaction data. In other words, no one knows when, where, or what you bought, except for you.

Now, imagine the same transaction in the world of Web3. The details of that coffee purchase no longer end at the counter. Instead, they become part of a public record. While transactions are pseudonymous, wallet addresses and behavioral patterns can be analyzed over time, allowing third parties to infer your identity and track your financial activity.

Anyone could, in theory, see when, where, and what you bought, as well as who you’re transacting with. But this is not the default: wallet addresses are not universally linked to real-world identities. The risk arises when patterns emerge over time, especially if someone repeatedly transacts with the same wallets or uses exchanges that require KYC, making it easier to draw inferences about their activity and link it to a real identity.

While not every user will n

Kevin Warsh is set to become the first Federal Reserve chair with disclosed crypto holdings, and the first whose policy instincts could still squeeze the sector harder than his predecessors.

Most Americans don't follow Fed personnel drama closely, but they feel its aftershocks every month through mortgage rates, savings yields, and the temperature of equity markets.

Bitcoin feels those same currents even more acutely than most traded assets, which is why the question of who leads the central bank matters to crypto long before that person says a word about digital assets. When Warsh's odds of becoming Fed chair were rising, Bitcoin sold off, as traders read him as a central banker who favors a smaller Fed balance sheet and a tighter monetary regime.

This is not Cake Wallet’s first inroad into advanced Bitcoin features. Unlike most multi-coin wallets such as Binance’s popular Trust Wallet, Cake has gone a lot further than just supporting basic on-chain addresses. Cake has deployed some of Bitcoin’s more sophisticated technology, such as Silent Payments and Payjoin, powerful privacy technologies that most other blockchains and crypto wallets are not even close to. Features of this sort protect users from a wide range of risks, such as targeted scams, as third parties have a harder time tracking user behaviour across the blockchain.

The Lightning Network integration brings Cake wallet into a small group of wallets that support Bitcoin’s fast payments layer with self-custody and privacy in mind. The update is powered by the Breez SDK and Spark, which unlocks self-custody control for users without the need to manage a lightning node.

On the privacy front, Cake has a custom implementation of the Spark suite, which further protects user privacy. In a press release shared with Bitcoin Magazine, the company said, “Lightning transactions in Cake Wallet do not embed your Spark address in Lightning invoices, and transaction data is not published to public explorers by default. Visibility is intentionally limited, reducing unnecessary exposure of user activity and safeguarding user privacy.”

Riot Platforms sold 3,778 bitcoin in the first quarter of 2026, generating $289.5 million and marking a shift in strategy as the miner redirects capital toward infrastructure and high-performance computing.

The volume sold exceeded the company’s quarterly production of 1,473 BTC by roughly 2.6 times, signaling a drawdown of treasury holdings rather than routine profit-taking. Riot ended the quarter with 15,680 BTC, down 18% from 18,005 BTC at the close of 2025.

The selling appears to have extended beyond the reporting period. Blockchain analytics firm Arkham Intelligence flagged a 500 BTC outflow from a wallet linked to Riot following the end of the quarter, suggesting continued liquidation activity.

The imbalance between production and sales comes as Riot accelerates its expansion into artificial intelligence and high-performance computing colocation. The company has begun repositioning its business model away from sole reliance on bitcoin mining, seeking to monetize its energy assets and data center footprint through long-term infrastructure contracts.

Revolutions leave behind artifacts — not always weapons or flags, but the quieter objects that carried a message before anyone knew how far it would travel. A wheat-pasted broadside on a Los Angeles overpass. A hand-lettered cardboard sign held up in the snow outside a Tokyo office building. A newspaper headline, pulled from the front page of The Times of London and encoded permanently into a piece of software that would go on to challenge the architecture of global finance.

The works gathered in Relics of a Revolution at the Bitcoin 2026 Conference in Las Vegas trace a specific lineage of dissent — one that connects street-level protest to the birth of Bitcoin itself. Mear One (b. 1971, Santa Cruz, CA) has spent nearly four decades using the walls of Los Angeles as a medium for political and economic confrontation. He pioneered the Melrose graffiti art movement in the late 1980s, was the first graffiti artist to exhibit at the 01 Gallery on Melrose and at 33 1/3 Gallery in Silverlake — where Banksy would later debut his first North American show — and in 2004 joined Shepard Fairey and Robbie Conal on the Be the Revolution tour, a nationwide series of anti-war street art interventions during the Bush administration. His work was part of the landmark Art in the Streets exhibition at the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art in 2011 and resides in the permanent collections of the Laguna Art Museum among others. From anti-Gulf War broadsides in the early 1990s through the Occupy Wall Street encampments of 2011, Mear One has been making work that insists the root problem is the system itself — not the politicians or the policies, but the underlying architecture of money and power.

It is also why every bull market ends up replaying the same argument. Block space gets tight, fees jump, users complain, and builders promise solutions that live somewhere above the base layer.

This week, Vitalik Buterin showed up with a very different claim about Ethereum’s future, one that lands directly on Bitcoin’s turf.

In a post on X, he argued the blockchain “trilemma” is solved by pairing PeerDAS on mainnet with zkEVMs reaching “alpha” performance, while security work continues.

He sketched a 2026–2030 path where proofs increasingly replace re-execution as the way Ethereum validates blocks.

He also pointed to a third pillar: more distributed block building over time, so transaction inclusion is harder for a small club of builders to capture.

Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan says the crypto market may be nearing a turning point as retail exhaustion deepens and institutional demand quietly builds.

Appearing on CNBC, Hougan — who oversees $12 billion in assets at Bitwise — said retail sentiment is at “maximum desperation” following months of liquidations, leverage blowouts, and yield protocol failures.

“It’s hard to find a crypto native investor who still has much enthusiasm,” he said. “That market is close to a bottom.”

Ethereum (ETH) slid on Tuesday, trading just above $2,080 as the wider crypto market weakened — a level well shy of a critical threshold identified by expert Ali Martinez as the trigger for a sustained macro bull run.

In a breakdown shared on social media platform X, Martinez argued that reclaiming a realized price near $2,500 would mark the moment the average holder returns to profit and signal the end of the market’s “cooling period,” opening the door to a renewed, extended rally.

Technical Crossroads For Ethereum
Martinez framed the current price action in technical terms, suggesting Ethereum could be forming an ascending triangle. In that scenario, he places a “line in the sand” at roughly $1,800, and notes that this figure overlaps closely with the 0.80 MVRV pricing band at about $1,880.

While Ethereum (ETH) is at a pivotal crossroads, some analysts suggest that a reclaim of a key resistance could open the door to a massive breakout. However, others have raised questions about the altcoin’s next move amid the recent market volatility and weak signals.Ethereum Breakout: ‘A Matter Of When’
Ethereum has found a new price range after turning the $2,250 level into support during the April market recovery. The cryptocurrency has been trading between the $2,250-$2,400 levels over the past few weeks, reaching a three-month high of $2,465 on April 17.

In an X post, analyst Michaël van de Poppe highlighted ETH’s recent performance, asserting that its upward price pattern held, despite the price being rejected from the $2,400 resistance, a key psychological and technical barrier that has stopped prior rallies.
