Michael Saylor has sparked a fresh wave of debate with his latest X post, claiming it is a “Good Friday to buy Bitcoin.” This comes as the $BTC price lingers near $67,400, a staggering 46% drop from its 2025 peak of $125,000.

During the world’s largest Bitcoin conference, Ethereum NFTs have, ironically, provided one of only a few green shoots on red-filled crypto dashboards. Bitcoin’s biggest annual conference opened on Monday in Las Vegas with bitcoin ($BTC) above $78,600 and tens of thousands of attendees packing into the Venetian conference center to hear why it should be worth more.

Ultra‑short crypto bets on Polymarket and Kalshi now drive most crypto volume, blurring hedging and gambling as AI bots, HFT firms and retail chase five‑minute wins.

Regulators still call these tools “hedging” and “portfolio management,” but critics – including Vitalik Buterin – warn prediction markets…

On Apr. 1, exactly 1 billion $XRP (valued at roughly $1.34 billion) was released from Ripple’s cryptographic escrow accounts. The most recent unlock has been performed in two separate 500 million $XRP tranches, Whale Alert data shows. The $XRP supply is deliberately predictable. From the get-go, the company held a massive portion of the total $XRP supply. This created anxiety among investors that Ripple could suddenly flood the market and crash the price. Ripple found a solution by locking in 55 billion $XRP into a series of cryptographic, smart-contract-based escrows on the $XRP Ledger. The system is programmed to release…

KRAKacquisition Corp., a special purpose acquisition company formed in January, is searching for a target that could be worth as much as $10 billion, director Ravi Tanuku told Decrypt. The blank-check firm, sponsored by an affiliate of crypto exchange Kraken, hasn’t determined what that firm could look like, but Tanuku noted that Wall Street’s interest in firms associated with stablecoins and tokenization reached new heights last year. “The market is clearly paying up for those and starting to realize there’s big changes afoot,” he said. “In our mind, that’s a good signal to be aware of.” SPACs are shell companies…
