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.

Why is crypto up today? Bitcoin pushes towards $76K despite fakeout risk

Crypto today is sitting at a key level where the next move could be driven by FOMO.

On the technical side, high-cap assets are seeing steady inflows, which is keeping prices stable near key resistance zones.

With the weekend ahead and the stock market closed, crypto could see more inflows. The next 48 hours will be important in deciding whether the market builds a local bottom at these levels.

Monad Price Analysis: MON Triple Top Structure Concerns Amid 7% Drop
Monad has formed a triple top on lower timeframes, raising concerns of further short-term weakness. What is the possible target?


While other altcoins are showing signs of recovery, Monad (MON) is correcting. Over the past 24 hours, the coin has dropped over 7% to $0.0336 after failing at a crucial price level again.

Notably, this move began recently. While MON is down 7% in the past seven days, it has increased by 38% over the last 30 days and 46% since the start of the year.
Accompanying this price pullback is a drop in trading volume. In the past 24 hours, trading volume has declined by 3% as market participants prefer to stay on the sidelines and observe Monad’s price trend.

Boyaa Interactive Goes All In On Bitcoin Strategy

Boyaa Interactive has made a decisive move that grabbed global crypto attention. The company now plans to allocate only Bitcoin to its treasury. This decision marks a clear shift away from a diversified crypto approach. The firm already holds 4,092 Bitcoin, which strengthens its position among Asia’s top corporate holders.

This move reflects growing confidence in Bitcoin as a long-term store of value. Many companies earlier explored multiple crypto assets for diversification. Boyaa Interactive now rejects that strategy and focuses purely on Bitcoin. This decision aligns with a rising trend of institutional Bitcoin adoption across global markets.

The Boyaa Interactive Bitcoin strategy highlights a larger shift in corporate thinking. Companies now prefer clarity and conviction over diversification in volatile markets. This approach suggests that Bitcoin continues to dominate as the primary digital asset for treasury reserves.

Iran has temporarily reopened the Strait of Hormuz to commercial shipping following a U.S.-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon, sparking cautious optimism in global markets. However, Tehran issued a stark warning that the critical waterway could close again if the United States maintains its naval blockade of Iranian ports.Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi confirmed via social media that all commercial vessels were permitted to transit the strait for the duration of the 10-day truce. The ceasefire came after weeks of conflict that began when Israel invaded Lebanon following Hezbollah's military support of Iran. The fighting has claimed thousands of lives and effectively shut down one of the world's most vital energy corridors since late February.President Donald Trump praised the development, calling it a remarkable moment for global peace. Yet contradictions quickly emerged. Trump confirmed the U.S. naval blockade would remain in place until a comprehensive deal with Iran is finalized, while Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf warned that the strait would not stay open under those conditions. Iran also mandated that all vessels coordinate with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps before passage, a new requirement that raised concerns among international shipping companies.Despite initial optimism, vessel tracking data showed roughly 20 ships attempting to cross the strait on Friday evening, with most ultimately turning back for reasons that remained unclear.Global financial markets responded positively, with oil prices dropping approximately 10% and stock markets climbing on hopes of restored energy flows. Still, unresolved disputes over Iran's nuclear program continue to cloud negotiations. The U.S. demanded a 20-year suspension of all Iranian nuclear activity, while Iran proposed a much shorter three-to-five year pause.

Protocol upgrades show ambition, institutions still decide what is optional
The protocol itself is evolving toward the institutional use case, but adoption remains a choice, not a guarantee.

XRPL’s early 2026 releases show both ambition and caution. Rippled v3.1.0 introduced Single Asset Vaults and an amendment to the Lending Protocol, while v3.1.1 later disabled batch-related amendments due to a severe bug.

Bittensor Price Faces Correction After Soaring Past $265

On April 17, Bittensor ($TAO) price witnessed an upward momentum with a surge of 7% on a daily chart following a rally in the Bitcoin ($BTC) price, but failed to hold its position and faced a quick correction on the daily chart.

On Friday, the overall crypto market sparked a bullish sentiment in the market, which helped most altcoins to gain a spike. The main reason behind the rally in the crypto market is the major development in peace talks between the U.S. and Iran. Apart from this, recently, artificial intelligence-related tokens have also attracted the attention of investors due to their real utility.

At the time of writing, Bittensor ($TAO) is trading at around $252.30 with a market capitalization of around $2.82 billion, according to CoinMarketCap. The daily trading volume also jumped by 37% in the last 24 hours and is currently revolving around $396.22 million.

Bittensor ($TAO) Price Struggles to Break Consolidation Pattern

According to the current price chart, the surge in the cryptocurrency came after a bounce from a major Fibonacci support level. This bounce was also supported by a 41% surge in trading volume.

On Friday, Bitcoin ($BTC) gained an upward momentum and rallied above $78,000. Amid this, Bittensor has also witnessed a small spike before returning to its pre-rally state.
