Bitcoin still has not reclaimed 2017-level public attention Bitcoin has more institutional access than at any point in its history. Spot ETFs opened a regulated route for capital that spent years on the sidelines. Corporate treasury buyers pushed the asset deeper into boardroom discussion. Reserve language entered the political and market debate with unusual force. Price followed that shift higher. Visibility inside finance rose with it. Public search behavior still points somewhere else. Google Trends data for worldwide web search shows that interest in “bitcoin” remains well below the late-2017 peak, even after years of ETF launches, treasury accumulation, and…

The Algorand Foundation on Wednesday joined the ranks of crypto firms slashing headcount, losing 25% of its fewer than 200 employees and citing “the uncertain global macro environment” and a broader crypto downturn. The cuts arrived as a wave of layoffs proliferates across the industry. In February, Gemini Space Station (GEMI) said it would eliminate roughly 200 positions, about a quarter of its staff, a figure that had grown to 30% by mid-March. On Thursday, Crypto.com said it is trimming 12%, about 180 roles. That’s on top of 20 employees who got the chop at OP Labs, the company building…

Bittensor’s native token $TAO has climbed almost 4% today, April 3, 2026. With this surge, the price of the token has crossed the $305 mark and is currently hovering around the $306.63 mark. This surge stems from a regulatory update where Grayscale has amended its S-1 filing for a spot Bittensor trust. The move edges $TAO closer to institutional accessibility, which could increase the token’s demand drastically. While Bitcoin grinds higher amid broader macro tailwinds, Bittensor’s edge highlights its niche appeal in the AI-blockchain intersection. Traders on platforms like X buzzed about the filing, with volume spiking alongside the price,…

Strategy was willing to lose more than a billion dollars buying bitcoin ($BTC) during the first three months of 2026. Had management not made that sacrifice on behalf of their shareholders, almost no other buying would have occurred at publicly traded bitcoin companies. If it wasn’t for Michael Saylor’s money-losing, leveraged trades at Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), 94% of $BTC purchased by public companies in Q1 2026 would have never happened. As of Friday’s market close, Strategy had lost $6.7 billion over its corporate lifetime buying 762,099 $BTC at an average $75,694 apiece. At the New York close of trading for…

Ethereum is flashing two different signals at once. One chart shows whales leaning bearish, while another shows $ETH sitting on a major long term support zone after a steep decline. Ethereum Shows Sharp Split as Whales Turn Bearish and Retail Stays Opposite The chart shows a clear divergence between whale and retail positioning in Ethereum. According to the image, whale versus retail delta has moved deep into negative territory in April, which suggests larger players are leaning more heavily toward short exposure. At the same time, the post says retail traders are positioned the other way, which points to a…

Japan has taken a bold step that could reshape the global crypto landscape. The government has reduced the tax on Bitcoin capital gains from a staggering 55 percent to a much lower 20 percent. This major shift signals a clear intent to support innovation and attract more investors into the digital asset ecosystem. Many market participants now see this move as a turning point for the region. For years, the high tax burden discouraged participation in the crypto market. Retail investors hesitated, and institutional players stayed cautious. The Japan Bitcoin tax cut removes a significant barrier that limited growth. This…

Ripple $RLUSD Funding Drives Small Business Growth Across the United States Blockchain payments company Ripple shared on social media platform X on April 2 an update about its $15 million $RLUSD contribution.

Key takeaways Regulatory clarity is crucial for the accelerated growth of the crypto industry. Institutions remain committed to the crypto space despite regulatory uncertainties. The legislative process for financial regulation is complex and influenced by global events. The proposed financial regulation bill is the most significant since Dodd-Frank. Senate committees are focusing on different aspects of the crypto regulation bill. Discussions around the crypto regulation bill continue despite opposition from the banking industry. The proposed bill introduces a registration regime for centralized intermediaries trading digital commodities. The CFTC is set to gain new authority over spot markets under the proposed…

Bitcoin is pushing back toward the $70,000 level, but fresh on-chain data suggests the move may be running into familiar resistance. According to data from Glassnode, Bitcoin’s latest rally toward $70K has triggered a sharp rise in realized profits. As the price approached this zone, realized profit per hour surged above $20 million, implying that many holders are locking in gains rather than expecting an immediate breakout. This behavior has become a clear pattern since February 2026. Each time Bitcoin trades between $70,000 and $80,000, it encounters thin liquidity and strong selling pressure, effectively capping upward momentum and leading to…
