VanEck Proposes BitBonds: 90% Treasury, 10% BTC to Refinance $14 Trillion U.S. Debt Over 3 Years

VanEck has proposed a new financial instrument called 'BitBonds' to help the U.S. refinance its $14 trillion national debt over the next three years. The proposal aims to provide investors with inflation protection by linking Treasury bonds to Bitcoin. The structure of BitBonds includes a 90% allocation to Treasury securities and a 10% allocation to Bitcoin, allowing for full Bitcoin upside until a 4.5% annual return is reached. After that threshold, the upside will be split 50/50 between Bitcoin and Treasury returns. This initiative is seen as a solution to align the interests of investors with the need for government financing.
South Korean candidate Hong Joon-pyo says he’ll scrap crypto rules like U.S. President Donald Trump did, aiming to make blockchain a key industry.

South Korean presidential candidate Hong Joon-pyo says he’ll remove crypto regulations similar to how they were rolled back during the Trump administration in the U.S., pledging to boost blockchain in the country.

During a policy event in Seoul on April 16, Hong said he will “dismantle regulations to the extent seen under the Trump administration” in an effort to “foster blockchain and virtual assets as a single industry,” Yonhap News Agency reports.

Hong, a candidate in the People Power Party’s presidential primary, held a policy briefing focused on the economy, labor, and science and technology. There, he reportedly announced 27 pledges centered on private-sector growth, including major commitments to future industries like artificial intelligence, quantum technology, and superconductors.

VanEck Executive Unveils Massive Bitcoin Price Target, Sees BTC Rising 423% in Just Two Years

An analyst at a prominent global investment firm thinks Bitcoin (BTC) could surge to $180,000 in the second half of 2025.

Matthew Sigel, the head of digital assets research at VanEck, says in a new interview with David Lin that his target is based on an analysis of previous BTC cycles.

Sigel cautions, however, that Bitcoin will need to get through the current “macro-driven” period of uncertainty to reach that $180,000 level. He says he’s been encouraged by the spike in interest he’s seen in Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) from traditional asset managers.

“My inbound phone calls are up like 300% from investment advisers who were afraid to allocate to Bitcoin ETFs and now with the election and the change in administration, they’re much more open to discussing the investment case for Bitcoin.”
Bitcoin could hit $1M if US buys 1M BTC — Bitcoin Policy Institute

Bitcoin Policy Institute executive director Matthew Pines said that tariff earnings are “budget-neutral” and can be used by the US government to buy Bitcoin.

A Bitcoin Policy Institute (BPI) executive floated a $1 million Bitcoin price scenario if the United States were to buy 1 million BTC. In a Bitcoin Magazine podcast, Zach Shapiro, the head of policy for the Bitcoin-focused BPI think tank, said that a 1 million Bitcoin

purchase by the US would have a massive impact on the price of the asset.

“If the United States announces that we are buying a million Bitcoin, that’s just a global seismic shock. [...] I think first, Bitcoin price goes through the roof,” Shapiro said. “I think we’d probably go very quickly to something like a million dollars per Bitcoin.”

Is Shiba Inu On Track To Dethrone Dogecoin? Here’s What The Experts Say
A recent poll indicates that financial experts remain skeptical if Shiba Inu is able to overtake Dogecoin in value. The poll, conducted by Finders, surveyed 14 finance experts for their opinion on whether SHIB will ever overtake DOGE in market capitalization.

Their findings? A whopping 79% of the total participants believe that Shiba Inu will never flip Dogecoin in the area of market capitalization.

Survey Reports Overwhelming Consensus Against SHIB Flipping DOGE
The results point to a distinct stance by the majority of experts. A mere 7% of those polled showed confidence that SHIB would at some point in the future surpass DOGE, and these few stalwarts predicted it could occur as soon as 2026.

The other 14% were uncertain about SHIB’s fate. The overwhelming rejection of Shiba Inu’s ability to replace DOGE as the leading meme coin mirrors wider market opinion regarding the two tokens.
Panama City council greenlights crypto payments for tax, public services
Panama City will begin accepting Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and popular stablecoins such as USDC and USDT for public service payments, including taxes, fees, permits, and fines, in a move that positions the capital as a regional pioneer in crypto adoption.

Mayor Mayer Mizrachi Matalon announced the initiative on April 16 and called it a “historic vote” by the city council to modernize public finance and expand access to decentralized payment options.

The change is set to take effect through a partnership with a local banking institution that will instantly convert incoming crypto payments into US dollars, which remains the only legal tender authorized for government transactions in Panama.
VanEck’s Onchain Economy ETF ‘NODE’ cleared for May 14 launch
VanEck first filed the ETF on Jan. 15, targeting investments in crypto-related companies instead of direct crypto investment.



VanEck received regulatory effectiveness for its new Onchain Economy ETF, an actively managed fund designed to give investors broad exposure to companies powering the digital asset ecosystem.

Regulatory effectiveness means the SEC has approved the fund’s registration, allowing it to begin offering shares to the public.

Trump Administration Weighing Ban Against China’s DeepSeek: Report

National security concerns grow as Washington eyes Chinese AI startup DeepSeek and pressures Nvidia over tech transfers.

The U.S. government is mulling a crackdown on Chinese artificial intelligence company DeepSeek, while simultaneously turning up the heat on domestic chipmaker Nvidia amid growing fears of China gaining a technological edge in AI.

Three people familiar with the discussions told The New York Times that the Trump administration is considering penalties to block DeepSeek’s access to U.S. technology and possibly banning access to its services for Americans.

DeepSeek shocked the AI industry in January with the release of DeepSeek-V3, a powerful open-source chatbot reportedly trained for just $6 million, a fraction of the cost typically incurred by U.S. competitors like OpenAI.
Project 11 is offering 1 BTC to whoever cracks the longest Bitcoin key

Quantum researchers are offering 1 Bitcoin to whoever cracks the biggest "toy version" of a Bitcoin key using Shor's algorithm on a quantum computer.

Quantum computing research firm Project Eleven has launched a competition to see just how much of a threat quantum computing currently poses to Bitcoin.

Launching the competition on April 16, Project Eleven said it is offering 1 Bitcoin

to whoever cracks the biggest chunk of a Bitcoin key using a quantum computer within the next year.

Project Eleven said the purpose of the “Q-Day Prize” is to test “how urgent the threat” of quantum is to Bitcoin and to find quantum-proof solutions to secure Bitcoin over the long term.

“10 million+ addresses have exposed public keys. Quantum computing is steadily progressing. Nobody has rigorously benchmarked this threat yet,” Project Eleven wrote on X on April 16.
Crypto venture fund Galaxy Ventures could hit a $180M fundraise: Report

Mike Novogratz’s Galaxy Ventures Fund I is set to raise past its $150 million target despite headwinds for crypto venture capital.


Michael Novogratz’s Galaxy Ventures Fund I LP is expected to raise around $175 million to $180 million by the end of June to build a portfolio of 30 crypto and blockchain startups.

According to an April 17 Bloomberg report citing people familiar with the matter, the fund — which has had a focus on payments and stablecoins — has surpassed its goal of raising $150 million.

The fund closing above target comes at a time when crypto venture capital is thin on the ground despite an industry-friendly administration in the United States.

Earlier this year, Novogratz’s firm reported that 2024 was also a tough year for crypto VC despite potential market drivers such as Bitcoin ETFs, the memecoin craze, and AI agents, which it said were “not particularly suited to venture capital.”
The crypto market is gearing up for an important event this Thursday: the unlocking of a large portion of the TRUMP memecoin launched by President Donald Trump just before his second inauguration earlier this year. The upcoming release will allow early investors and insiders to sell their holdings for the first time.

Trump Memecoin’s Price Journey
Initially launched on January 17, the memecoin debuted with 200 million tokens. This week, an additional 40 million coins tied to groups affiliated with the President will be released, bringing the total number of outstanding tokens to 1 billion within three years.

The initial launch saw the token’s market value skyrocket to approximately $14 billion just two days after its release, only to face a dramatic decline, losing nearly 90% of its value, according to CoinGecko data.

Best Crypto To Buy: How To Find The Next 100X Crypto

Seasoned investors are well aware of the parabolic gains that cryptocurrencies can provide – often resulting in 100x ROI or more.



How to Find 100X Cryptos?
In bullish periods, it’s common for crypto projects to deliver 100x gains. Fartcoin is a prime example of what we’re talking about.

It is a meme coin launched on Solana meme coin launchpad Pump.fun in October. Its value is up 1,749,286% from its initial CoinMarketCap price. However, it was up significantly more at its peak.

After dropping over 90% from its January all-time high (ATH), it has soared over 300% gain in recent weeks.

A combination of positioning within the right trends and low market capitalization is the reason Fartcoin was able to boom. Traders seeking 100x gains should, therefore, carefully analyze current market trends. They should seek undervalued projects within those areas.

Whale eyes on FARTCOIN

The whale who previously profited $3.33 million from FARTCOIN has re-entered the market, signaling a potential buying opportunity. Initially, the whale spent $8.15 million to acquire 13.39 million memecoins at an average price of $0.61, later selling them for $0.86.
