On April 16, the White House appears eager to resolve the dispute between the banking sector and the cryptocurrency industry, which has hindered Senate negotiations on the legislation since January. Key officials both inside and outside the U.S. government—from Treasury Secretary Scott Bansen to White House cryptocurrency advisor Patrick Witt, and former head of AI and cryptocurrency affairs David Sachs—have recently called for the passage of the bill. Meanwhile, the Council of Economic Advisers released a report countering the banking industry's concerns. However, it remains unclear whether the White House's push will be sufficient to overcome the issues plaguing the bill, which extend beyond the narrow industry disputes that have dominated discussions over the past three months. Christopher Neuber, a senior research analyst at Beacon Policy Advisors, stated in an interview, 'From a timing perspective, their judgment is reasonable—if Congress has a chance to push the market structure bill through, now is that opportunity.'

On April 16, Julio Moreno, head of research at CryptoQuant, stated that Bitcoin's recent uptrend is facing a gradually increasing risk of profit-taking, with multiple on-chain indicators showing enhanced selling pressure. Currently, Bitcoin's price has slightly retreated but is testing the on-chain 'realized price' of $76,800 for traders. This level is seen as a significant bearish resistance, historically limiting rebound potential, as holders close to breaking even are more inclined to sell for profit, thus suppressing further increases. Moreno noted, 'This price range precisely capped the price increase during the bear market rebound in January 2026, and after reaching this level, it reversed downward. If the current selling pressure continues to increase, a similar trend may occur again.' He added that if the resistance holds, approximately $67,600 will become the main short-term support. The report also highlighted that the proportion of large transactions has rapidly increased from less than 10% to over 40%, a level that historically corresponds to strong short-term selling pressure. Profit-taking has not yet peaked, with daily realized profits currently around $500 million, below the $1 billion threshold that historically marks significant sell-off peaks. Moreno concluded that if Bitcoin remains above $76,000 and approaches the realized price level of $76,800, the average daily realized profits could accelerate to over $1 billion, thereby increasing selling pressure and raising the likelihood of a temporary peak or correction in the market.

On April 16, The Wrap reported that a $70 million film about the mysterious founder of Bitcoin has quietly completed its principal photography last month in a 'gray box' that resembles a warehouse in London. On the surface, it appears to be a fairly standard commercial film—directed by Doug Liman, with a cast including Gal Gadot, Pete Davidson, Casey Affleck, and Isla Fisher, it tells a global thriller story centered around the search for the identity of the decentralized cryptocurrency's inventor. However, it has one key distinction: 'Bitcoin: Killing Satoshi' is described as the first fully generated, studio-level AI feature film. Acme AI & FX produced this independent film. According to the producers, the film was shot over 20 days in a custom-built studio and was created using AI technology, allowing a project that would traditionally cost up to $300 million to be completed within a more manageable budget. While the set design and lighting were generated by AI, the actors' performances themselves were not altered. They wore costumes that would ultimately appear on screen, and Casey Affleck underwent wig and makeup styling before filming. What the audience will see is the raw footage of the actors' genuine performances. 'Performance is performance itself,' said producer Ryan Kavanaugh. 'We capture the performance in a very unique way, where this AI process takes the actors' performances as the core and builds everything else within that performance framework.' Although the producer declined to disclose the specific programs used by the AI, he mentioned that it is a 'new approach' to integrating and blending the actors' performances with all background elements. To produce 'Bitcoin: Killing Satoshi'—which is set to be marketed to buyers at the Cannes International Film Festival in May—producers stated that the film employed a total of 107 actors, 100 crew members, and 54 non-shooting personnel—this scale is relatively common in independent films, while large commercial films often require thousands of staff to complete production. Director Doug Liman is currently in a 30-week post-production phase, which will involve 55 AI artists. Producer Lawrence Grey explained, 'AI will not replace human involvement,' adding, 'Human participation is absolutely essential throughout the entire process.'

On April 16, U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren wrote to Musk requesting clarification on the integration plan of the stablecoin and cryptocurrency for the payment feature X Money that the X platform intends to launch, stating that it could pose risks to the financial system and U.S. national security. Warren specifically questioned whether X Money would issue its own stablecoin under exemptions related to the GENIUS Act, and whether users were adequately informed that their funds would not be protected by FDIC deposit insurance. The letter also mentioned that a preview of X Money's testing indicated it might offer a 6% deposit interest rate and that it is collaborating with Cross River Bank, which has previously been subject to FDIC enforcement actions.
