Activity in Bitcoin (BTC) Controlled by the US Government: Moved to Coinbase! “Not for Sale!”


According to Onchain data, the US government transferred $606,000 worth of Bitcoin ($BTC) linked to the 2016 Bitfinex hack to Coinbase.

This $BTC transfer follows previous cryptocurrency transfers made by the US government in March and April. According to Arkham data, this transfer was made from wallets under federal government control.

While it’s generally assumed that Bitcoins transferred to exchanges are for sale, it’s stated that this particular $BTC transfer was not for sale purposes.

Because in early 2025, federal proceedings have confirmed that the Bitcoins seized in connection with the Bitfinex hack will be returned to Bitfinex in full.

This requires the US government to return the seized Bitcoins to Bitfinex in full.

Bitfinex has decided what to do with these Bitcoins. The exchange states that a portion of these funds will be used to fully repurchase all outstanding Recovery Right Tokens (RRT) altcoins.

It is also stated that at least 80% of the remaining net proceeds will be used to repurchase and burn UNUS, SED, and LEO tokens.

What is the Bitfinex Hack Incident?

The Bitfinex hack, which occurred on August 2, 2016, was one of the biggest shocks to the cryptocurrency sector.

Hacker Ilya Lichtenstein exploited a vulnerability in Bitfinex’s multi-signature wallet system and stole over 119,000 Bitcoin, worth approximately $72 million at the time.

Based on today’s prices, which are approximately $74,000 per Bitcoin, the stolen Bitcoins would be worth around $8.9 billio

Gate Research flags 5x ETFs as tactical, not buy-and-hold

Gate Research says leveraged crypto ETFs now sit at the center of liquidity and short-term trading strategies on centralized exchanges, but warns their daily reset makes them unsuitable as long-term holdings in volatile markets.

Summary

Gate Research finds leveraged crypto ETFs work best as short-term tactical tools, not long-term investments.

Simulations show 5x products can lose more than 90% of value in 60 days in choppy markets due to "volatility decay."

Strategies using 5x tokens like ETH5S with volume breakout signals and hard time stops show a 67% win rate in backtests.

The latest report from Gate Research argues that leveraged products such as 5x long and inverse tokens are best used in tightly defined, short-duration trades built around "right-side" entries, volume-driven momentum breakouts and strict stop-loss rules.

Bank of Al and PKUBlockchain map Web4.0's "agent economy," pitching x402, ERC-8004 and MCP while casting Tron and USDT as the default settlement rail for Al agents.

Summary Bank of Al and Peking University's PKUBlockchain association have published a Web4.0 report arguing that Al agents will act as on-chain "economic entities" and need dedicated payments, identity and tooling protocols. The paper highlights three missing layers - the x402 payment protocol, ERC-8004 identity standard and MCP tool-invocation rail - and pitches Bank of Al's stack as a one-stop "Agent financial OS" that connects them. It points to Tron's more than $22 billion in average daily stablecoin volume and roughly $86 billion of circulating USDT as the settlement base for high-frequency micro-payments between agents. Bank of Al and Peking University's PKUBlockchain association have released what they call the first comprehensive research report on Web4.0's "agent economy," titled "Web4.0: When Al Agents Become Economic Entities - Infrastructure, Market Landscape, and Investment Outlook." The report argues that as Al systems evolve from "assistive tools" into autonomous entities that can hold assets, generate income and transact, crypto rails need to adapt around them

Brian Armstrong Says AI Agents Could Drive Massive Digital Dollar DemandCoinbase CEO Brian Armstrong says the next wave of AI could become a major source of digital dollar demand.

He said in a post on X that if autonomous AI agents begin buying, selling, booking, hedging, and settling transactions on their own, they will need money built for internet speed.

Armstrong added that stablecoins and tokenized dollars are the most likely fit. This would make AI growth a direct driver of demand for dollar-backed digital assets.

XRP Price Prediction: $1.50 Next?

The technical picture is constructive, especially with its RSI sitting at neutral territory still, which usually precedes expansion moves. Price is consolidating just beneath the $1.50 resistance, with key support anchored at $1.29.

If the Senate Banking Committee advances the CLARITY Act markup in late April, XRP could clear $1.5 with volume, and the $1.60 near-term target cited by most analysts comes into play. Standard Chartered maintains a $200 longer-range call. Saved

However, in the case of a failure to hold $1.29 support, it will reopen the sub-$1.00 risk flagged by our analyst in a brief flush before a potential double-digit recovery. Painful but not unprecedented for XRP.

Circle hit with class action lawsuit over alleged inaction in $280 million Drift exploit
Circle is facing a class action lawsuit from Drift Protocol investors who lost money in the $280 million exploit that occurred on April 1.

The lawsuit alleged that Circle failed to act swiftly to freeze the stolen USDC tied to the attack.

Circle is facing a class action lawsuit from a group of Drift Protocol investors who lost money in the $280 million exploit on April 1, one of the largest hacks in DeFi history.

The lawsuit, filed Tuesday by law firm Gibbs Mura, accused Circle Internet Financial of failing to act swiftly to freeze the stolen USDC (USDC) tied to the attack.

"Circle allegedly took no action to freeze the funds, despite having the technical and contractual authority to do so," the lawyers said in a statement on Wednesday.

Drift Protocol, a Solana-based decentralized exchange, suffered an exploit after an attacker gained unauthorized access to the platform, introduced a malicious asset, and removed withdrawal limits to drain the funds, the Drift team said. The incident gained more traction after Drift revealed the perpetrators had spent six months posing as a quantitative trading firm.

Onchain investigator ZachXBT has criticized Circle for not freezing USDC linked to the exploit quickly enough. "[Six] hours is how long Circle had to freeze stolen funds from the $280M+ Drift hack," ZachXBT wrote, alleging that the attacker moved over $230 million worth of USDC from Solana to Ethereum via Circle's cross-chain transfer protocol.

The lawsuit further alleged that, nine days earlier, Circle had frozen 16 unrelated wallets in a separate civil case, "demonstrating both the capability and willingness to act."

UBS Expects 50 bps Fed Rate Cuts as Gov Miran Downplays Inflation Risks
UBS predicts 50 bps Fed rate cuts later this year.

Fed's Stephen Miran and Trump-nominated Fed Chair Kevin Warsh could push for more rate cuts.

Stocks, Bitcoin and crypto market would rally amid positive macro tailwinds.
Wall Street banking giant UBS forecasts further Fed rate cuts later this year. This comes as Fed Governor Stephen Miran claims the US-Iran war and tariffs will not have long-term impacts on inflation, but expects three rate cuts instead of four in 2026.
Bitcoin and gold will rise further if the Federal Reserve proceeds with more rate cuts this year. The broader crypto market will follow, with the S&P 500 hitting new highs.
The U.S. Federal Reserve would deliver 50 bps rate cuts later this year, UBS reported in the latest insights. Economists at the bank, including those in Global Wealth Management, project two 25 bps reductions potentially in September and December.

This would bring the federal funds rate to roughly 3.00-3.25% by 2026-end. The CME FedWatch Tool shows traders currently expect no rate cuts by the Federal Reserve this year.

This forecast assumes Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s downplaying of monetary policy tightening and inflation remaining under control despite rising oil prices. US CPI and PPI inflation data showed readings coming in line or under with Wall Street estimates.

UBS expects Treasury yields to fall toward its year-end targets of 3.25% and 3.75% for 2-year and 10-year Treasuries, respectively.
If oil supply from the Strait of Hormuz starts to normalize, the bank giant sees treasury yields falling as investors scale back their expectations for rate hikes. However, if the disruption continues for a prolonged period, Fed rate cuts should drive yields lower.
