Even if throughput ramps, fees still need to remain low to compete with stablecoin rails and bank settlement networks.

If fee burn starts climbing in a way that matters, it probably means congestion, and congestion is the opposite of what payment networks want.

So yes, XRP is consumed every time XRPL is used. No, fee burn alone is unlikely to move valuation in a macro-relevant way.

Current price of Bitcoin for April 17, 2026

Bitcoin is widely recognized as the pioneering cryptocurrency and continues to hold the top spot in terms of name recognition and market size. Its market capitalization is roughly $1.33 trillion, putting it far ahead of second-place Ethereum with about $233 billion in market cap.

At a basic level, Bitcoin functions as a decentralized digital currency. Instead of relying on a central authority like a bank or government, it runs on a peer-to-peer network of computers. This design lets people transfer value straight to others without using a traditional financial intermediary.

Many investors turn to Bitcoin as a potential hedge against inflation in the U.S. dollar or as a way to branch out beyond conventional investments. Over the past decade, it has posted stunning gains, often outperforming major stock indexes, which has played a big role in its popularity.

At the same time, Bitcoin shares a key trait with other cryptocurrencies—it can be extremely volatile, with frequent and sometimes dramatic price changes.

Since it was introduced in 2009, Bitcoin has been highly volatile and often headline-grabbing. One early milestone in its history involves developer Laszlo Hanyecz, who famously spent 10,000 Bitcoins on pizza. Today, those coins would be valued at more than 668 million dollars.

Over the last decade or so, Bitcoin’s price has climbed more than 15,000%. This tremendous growth comes with a trade-off, as cryptocurrencies are known for their unpredictability. Bitcoin has undergone severe pullbacks—sometimes dropping tens of thousands of dollars within months—as well as dramatic recoveries. At the close of 2025, it was trading roughly 30% below the all-time high it hit that very October.

This simple indicator has called every bottom since 2015. It hasn't triggered yet



Here is something worth noting about bitcoin . Beneath all the noise from daily price swings, X posts and macro headlines, there is a remarkably simple indicator that has quietly called every major market bottom since 2015. Not once, but every single time.

To the dismay of bulls, it hasn't fired yet, suggesting the broader bear market may not be over, and the recent bounce to $75,000 from $65,000 could be a temporary recovery.

The indicator

It involves two lines on the price chart. That's it, no complex formula, analysis of blockchain data needed.

These two lines represent bitcoin's average price over the past 50 and 100 weeks. They act as simple moving averages, showing near-term and long-term trends in bitcoin's price.


Most of the time, the 50-week average is above the 100-week line. That's the natural state for markets that trend upward over time, as is the case with bitcoin.

But occasionally, during periods of peak fear, when selling is relentless, and sentiment has collapsed, the 50-week average falls below the 100-week average. This crossover is known as a bear market signal.

It has occurred three times in bitcoin's history. Each time, it has coincided with the end of a bear market, marking major price bottoms that have not been revisited since.

In other words, it's been a contrary indicator, ironically marking bottoms rather than deeper downturns.

Three times, three bottoms

Look at the vertical lines on the chart going back to 2015. These mark the three bearish crossovers – April 2015, February 2019, and September 2022. Each one occurred near the bottoming phase, not precisely at the lowest point, but within the same range.

In 2015, $BTC was written off as a failed experiment. Then the crossover happened. $BTC subsequently rallied from $200 to near

Netflix stock falls sharply Thursday — down around 9% in after-hours trading, as of 5:26 p.m. ET — after the company’s first-quarter 2026 earnings report landed alongside news that Reed Hastings, the co-founder and board chairman, won’t seek re-election in June. The Netflix stock price dropped even as revenue beat analyst expectations, and the Netflix shares decline also traced back to second-quarter guidance that missed consensus. Netflix stock falls like these — where quarterly numbers look solid but forward guidance disappoints — tend to carry more weight with investors right now than any single earnings beat. The Netflix stock drop hit fast, and also hit hard.Also Read: Amazon Stock $300 Target Backed by Loop Capital, TD Cowen & BarclaysNetflix Stock Drop, Hastings Exit, Earnings And Shares DeclineSource: CNBCQ1 Beat, Q2 Guidance Fell ShortThe Netflix earnings report 2026 showed Q1 revenue of $12.25 billion — above the $12.17 billion analyst consensus and also about 16% higher than the same quarter last year. Earnings per share came in at $1.23, nearly double the $0.66 from Q1 2025, though the $2.8 billion WBD termination fee did a lot of the heavy lifting there. Net income reached $5.28 billion.And yet, Netflix stock falls didn’t wait for context. Q2 revenue guidance landed at $12.57 billion — short of Wall Street’s $12.64 billion estimate — and the full-year outlook held at $50.7–$51.7 billion with no upward revision offered, at the time of writing. The Netflix stock drop kept deepening through the evening as investors processed the guidance miss and the Hastings announcement at the same time.CFO Spencer Neumann stated:“Some of our initially planned costs for the deal, they won’t fully materialize. But also, some that we were planning to carry into ’27 were pulled forward into 2026. We’re still in the ballpark, frankly, of the total that we were proj

#Bitwise has launched a spot Avalanche (AVAX) ETF under the ticker BAVA, marking a significant milestone for the asset and the fund manager. AVAX’s price seems to be reacting positively to the ETF launch, registering gains in a majority of time frames. According to CoinGecko’s Avalanche data, AVAX has rallied by 1.7% in the last 24 hours, 5.1% in the last week, and 8.3% in the 14-day charts. However, the asset is down by 8.1% in the previous month and nearly 50% since mid April 2025.Source: CoinGeckoWill Bitwise’s Spot Avalanche ETF Launch Push The Underlying Asset Beyond $20?Source: SecurehindiETFs were a key price driver in the 2025 market cycle. Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) both hit new all-time highs thanks to increased ETF inflows. Avalanche (AVAX) may also see a similar pattern. According to Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan, “Avalanche is emerging as one of the leading platforms for businesses, governments, and real-world use cases.”However, the current market scenario is quite different from 2025. Bitwise’s Avalanche ETF may not have the bullish factors that are needed for a breakout. Moreover, investors are still cautious about risky investments, especially cryptocurrencies.Moreover, the Federal Reserve is likely to keep interest rates high for a longer period. Higher rates may lead to lower risky investments as borrowing is more difficult. Avalanche’s (AVAX) price may remain in a sideways pattern due to high interest rates.Also Read: Morgan Stanley Bitcoin ETF Buys $83 Million Worth Of BTCApart from bearish market forces and high interest rates, the ongoing US-Iran conflict may also keep investors at bay. Geopolitical tensions have been ripe since late 2025, and things got worse earlier this year. Talks between the US and Iran also fell apart in Islamabad.
