Bitcoin miners hold the key to BTC’s Q2 fate – Here’s why





Bitcoin miners hold the key to BTC’s Q2 fate – Here’s why

The early signs of a bear phase often emerge when miners start capitulating as patience begins to fade.

Q1 2026 reflects this dynamic clearly. From a technical standpoint, Bitcoin [BTC] closed the quarter down 22%, marking its weakest Q1 performance in almost eight years, ending the period near $68k.

 Notably, miner positioning during the quarter reinforced the broader bearish structure.

As the chart below shows, several major public miners sold more than 32,000 BTC in Q1 2026, according to data analyzed by TheEnergyMag.

The dataset remains incomplete, with some reports still pending. And yet, miner selling has already “exceeded” total net sales across all of 2025, setting a new industry record.

XRP Price Prediction: Ripple Posting Biggest Gain Edging BTC and ETH - Why the Sudden Surge? XRP is outpacing both Bitcoin and Ethereum with a margin right now, and the prediction around its price is getting bullish. Trading at above $1.42, XRP records a 5% jump from yesterday, while Bitcoin and other major alts remain stuck.

The catalyst stack is building fast. Multiple analysts have converged on a $2.00 median bull-case target, while net inflows hit $17 million, the second-largest inflow day. Seven spot XRP ETFs now hold a combined $1 billion AUM, a legitimacy marker that was unthinkable eighteen months ago.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin and Ethereum are offering traders little directional conviction. XRP's relative strength against both majors suggests something more specific is at work.

Spot XRP ETFs See Biggest Weekly Inflows Since January, Signaling Institutional Comeb

U.S. spot $XRP ETFs attracted $41.64 million in just four days, marking their strongest weekly inflow since mid-January and pointing to renewed institutional demand.

Total assets reached around $1.08 billion, led by Bitwise and Franklin products.

$XRP price gained over 9% in the past week, showing that ETF-driven capital is translating into broader market momentum and strengthening sentiment toward regulated crypto exposure.

The latest figures indicate a shift in capital flows back into $XRP-linked investment products. After weeks of softer activity, spot $XRP ETFs are once again drawing consistent inflows, reflecting improving confidence among institutional investors and a more constructive backdrop for digital assets.

Spot $XRP ETFs Drive Institutional Comeback

Spot $XRP ETFs posted their largest weekly inflows since January 16, 2026. During the first four days of the week, these funds pulled in $41.64 million, reaching a 13-week high. With the final day not yet accounted for, total inflows may surpass earlier records this year.

Combined assets under management now stand near $1.08 billion. The Bitwise $XRP ETF (XRPP) led the week with $17.95 million in inflows, bringing its total assets to $313.69 million. The Franklin $XRP ETF (XRPZ) followed closely, adding $16.56 million and lifting its assets to $252.82 million.

A notable spike occurred on April 15, when daily inflows reached about $17.11 million, the highest since early February. This pattern suggests institutions increasingly prefer regulated ETF exposure rather than direct token purchases, mirroring trends previously seen in Bitcoin and Ethereum markets.

Bitcoin Derivatives Flash the First Warning Sign of a Quantum Selloff, Says Joshua Lim


Actors and figures: Joshua Lim (FalconX) estimates that 1.7 million $BTC, valued at $127 billion, are exposed to quantum attacks.

Dates and signals: The April 16 analysis highlights that derivatives and long-term options will show red flags before on-chain activity.

Market scenarios: An institutional hard fork could trigger massive liquidations and unprecedented price volatility.

The arrival of quantum computing is the greatest technical and political challenge in the cryptocurrency market. Joshua Lim, co-head of markets at FalconX, stated that quantum risk in Bitcoin will initially manifest in the derivatives markets.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading around $75,024, as the sector analyzes how to protect Satoshi Nakamoto’s 1.1 million $BTC. The volume of options and the bias of long-term “puts” already reflect a demand for protection against extreme systemic events.

Typically, forks like the one in 2017 occurred in a retail market of $45 billion. However, with a current market cap of $1.5 trillion, such an event under the quantum risk in Bitcoin would have much more drastic consequences.

Lim argues that the problem is not just mathematical; it is deeply sociopolitical. The community must decide whether to burn old coins through governance or allow a state actor with quantum power to attempt to claim those inactive assets.

Russia introduces bill to criminalize unregistered crypto services

Russia’s government submitted a bill to its parliament’s lower house in an effort to amend the country's legal code to attach criminal liability for crypto services offered without regulatory approval or licensing.

In a draft law sent to the State Duma on Friday, Russian lawmakers proposed that entities "carrying out activities related to the organization of digital currency circulation,” that operate without a license from Russia’s central bank, could be subject to criminal liability.

Without registration with the Bank of Russia, individuals could face up to $4,000 in fines and up to four years in prison, or more severe penalties if part of an organized group.

“The same act committed by an organized group, or involving the infliction of damage or the extraction of income on a particularly large scale, would be punishable by compulsory labor for up to five years or imprisonment for up to seven years,” the bill’s text said.

The bill also proposes a “fine of up to 1 million rubles [$13,100] or an amount equal to the convicted person’s salary or other income for a period of up to five years.”

The draft law followed a package of bills initially proposed in March that included criminal penalties for illegal crypto miners, but the most recent legislation included details on fines and potential prison time for any unregistered digital asset services.

According to Russian media outlet RBC, the country’s Supreme Court said that the crypto bill lacks “reasoned justification” for criminal penalties.

The court said that the measure was “premature” until Russia enacted its “Digital Currency and Digital Rights law,” expected to go into effect in July. If the bill passes it would give Russia’s government more control and oversight over the crypto industry.

Altcoin season in 2026 remains uncertain as key conditions for a strong rally have not yet fallen into place. The main reasons are weak Bitcoin momentum and unclear global economic conditions.

A crypto market analyst, Virtual Bacon, has cautioned that it may not be the right time to buy or hold altcoins, as current conditions do not support a strong rally. He explained that altcoins usually perform well only when Bitcoin is clearly rising.

Bitcoin, Ether Lead Sustained Gains for Crypto ETFs


Crypto ETFs extended their recovery with another day of inflows across all major assets. Bitcoin and ether maintained their streaks, while $XRP and Solana posted strong gains.

Key Takeaways

Bitcoin ETFs added $26.05 million, led by Blackrock’s IBIT, extending a 3-day inflow streak.

Ether ETFs gained $18.02 million over 6 days, signaling steady recovery despite mixed flows.

$XRP rose $11.87 million and Solana $15.5 million, suggesting broader ETF demand may continue.

Bitcoin ETFs add $26 Million as Crypto Rally Broadens

The ETF rally did not fade. It tightened. For a third consecutive session, crypto ETFs attracted fresh capital, reinforcing a recovery that is now beginning to look more durable. The pace slowed, but the direction remained intact.

Bitcoin ETFs recorded $26.05 million in net inflows, extending their streak to three days. The underlying flows, however, told a more complex story.

Blackrock’s IBIT continued to dominate, pulling in $81.71 million. Grayscale’s Bitcoin Mini Trust added $16.67 million, while Morgan Stanley’s MSBT contributed $13.36 million, signaling sustained institutional interest in newer structures.

Yet the selling pressure has not disappeared. Fidelity’s FBTC saw $35.99 million exit, Ark & 21Shares’ ARKB lost $27.41 million, and Grayscale’s GBTC shed $22.28 million. The inflows were enough to outweigh the redemptions, but only just. Trading volume stood at $2.29 billion, with net assets rising to $97.90 billion.

Three straight days of inflows worth $623 million for bitcoin ETFs.

Ether ETFs extended their own streak, marking six consecutive days of inflows with an $18.02 million addition. As with bitcoin, the surface strength masked mixed internal dynamics.

Blackrock’s ETHA led with $30.51 million in inflows, supported by Grayscale’s Ether Mini Trust at
