A community-built dashboard that tracks Strategy’s STRC sales in real time suggests that today could produce the largest single-day STRC-funded bitcoin ($BTC) purchase in history. By 11am New York time, the unofficial tracking system estimated that 2.7 million shares of STRC had traded, all at or above its $100 par, also known as its “stated amount” or “quasi-peg.” This morning’s trading range was $100-100.07. Because Strategy has previously provided guidance that the company might sell STRC when the stock price is above its stated amount, it’s possible to estimate the number of STRC that Strategy is adding to the circulating…

The most visible bitcoin buyers in the world are buying at near-record pace. It is not enough. A CryptoQuant weekly report showed overall 30-day apparent demand at negative 63,000 $BTC as of late March, meaning the broader market is selling far faster than institutions can absorb. ETF purchases hit approximately 50,000 $BTC in the rolling 30-day window, the highest since October 2025. Strategy’s accumulation held steady at roughly 44,000 $BTC. Together, the two largest institutional channels absorbed about 94,000 $BTC in March. If institutions bought 94,000 $BTC and net demand is still negative 63,000, the rest of the market —…
Ink, the Kraken-incubated OP Stack L2, has seen its total value locked fall approximately 33% over the past week. The drop traces back to the April 18 KelpDAO rsETH exploit, which left roughly $195 million in bad debt across lending markets.

Ink has recorded a total value locked drop of approximately 33% over the past week and 34% to 35% over the past month, according to DefiLlama chain rankings. The drop has drawn attention not because Ink itself was directly hacked but because its lending infrastructure carried concentrated…

Circle shares have surged over 120% since early February as William Blair says $USDC’s market share, cross‑chain reach, and payments moat are being repriced as core settlement infrastructure. Summary Circle stock has climbed roughly 120–126% off early‑February lows, far outpacing most crypto equities after blowout Q4 earnings and $USDC‑driven revenue beats. William Blair argues the rally reflects a re‑rating of $USDC as a payments “base layer,” with Circle’s compliance, banking ties, and cross‑chain integrations forming a durable moat. Growing $USDC volumes, on‑platform balances and merchant/fintech adoption are reinforcing a stablecoin settlement flywheel that underpins Blair’s “outperform” rating on Circle. Circle’s…
