Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure Bitcoin demand is taking a crucial turn in a market hampered by ongoing negative macroeconomic and political events across the globe.  A recent report has outlined an increasing interest and demand for the leading cryptocurrency asset among large companies, which has now significantly exceeded those produced by miners in the market.More Bitcoin Is Absorbed Than Being MinedWhile price direction has been uncertain and unstable for the past few weeks, a growing imbalance is starting to take shape in the Bitcoin market. This imbalance focuses on institutions’ interests in BTC compared to new coins being mined. Related Reading: Bitcoin Lingers Below $70,000 As Resistance Holds Strong – Here’s What Whales Are Up ToOn the X platform, a crypto investor known as AltCryptoGems has shared that institutional demand for BTC is rising at a substantial rate despite current unfavorable market conditions. Currently, public companies are scooping up more BTC faster than the rate at which miners are producing new coins.As it continues to expand, this dynamic is strengthening the scarcity narrative of the flagship asset and reducing the amount of liquidity that is available. Such an imbalance could play a crucial role or act as a catalyst for the asset’s next price move. When large institutions accumulate, it is typically a clear sign of conviction in the asset’s long-term prospects.Source: Chart from AltCryptoGems on XThe recently concluded month of March saw a wave of accumulation from these big public firms. In the month alone, the expert revealed that these companies collectively added over 47,000 BTC valued at approximately $3.14 billion at current price levels, to their balance sheets. Leading the charge is Michael Saylor’s Strategy, amassing over 44,377 BTC out of the net acquisition.

Crypto liquidations reached over $400 million on Thursday, 02 April. While the total liquidations measured $271.18 million on Wednesday, 01 April, figures for the same climbed to $456.19 million on Thursday.

Of these liquidations, $287 million were long and $169 million were short positions. Bitcoin’s [BTC] price drop below $66K on Thursday likely contributed to the short-term selling across the market.

Bitcoin’s funding rate also fell into negative territory on Thursday, but the same had climbed to +0.0008% at press time. The liquidation and funding rate data from CoinGlass revealed that BTC recorded the highest amount of liquidations in the last 24 hours, measuring $57.17 million.

According to Crypto analyst Axel Adler Jr, the Bitcoin Positioning Index indicator’s 30-day moving average reached +3.0 on 17 March. The indicator measures the aggressiveness of market participants in the derivatives market.

The +3.0 reading highlighted bullish positioning, but BTC’s price correction over the last two weeks brought the positioning index back below zero. This hinted at more aggressive bearish positioning.

The crypto market is heavily influenced by Bitcoin trends. A return above zero for the Positioning Index’s 30-day moving average would be a positive sign for crypto bulls.

As things stand, short positioning is still dominant across the market.

Futures liquidations have been increasingly dominated by long liquidations. The dominance of short liquidations has been absent since October 2025. This alluded to the bearish strength in the market once again.

A reversal in the positioning index 30SMA above zero, combined with dominance of short liquidations, would signal a bullish regime change.

As things stand, this outcome would be unlikely. In fact, according to a previous AMBCryp

A bipartisan group of U.S. lawmakers has unveiled the MATCH Act, a landmark piece of draft legislation designed to tighten export restrictions on advanced semiconductor manufacturing equipment destined for China. The proposal takes direct aim at protecting America's artificial intelligence dominance by closing loopholes that have allowed Chinese chipmakers to acquire critical foreign-made tools they cannot produce domestically.Unlike previous rounds of chip export controls driven by the executive branch under Presidents Biden and Trump, this initiative originates from Congress itself, signaling a broader political consensus around technology competition with China. The legislation targets specific chipmaking technologies where Chinese manufacturers remain heavily import-dependent, most notably immersion deep ultraviolet (DUV) lithography systems — a market largely controlled by Dutch semiconductor giant ASML, alongside Japanese competitor Nikon.Under current Dutch government regulations, coordinated with Washington, ASML is already barred from exporting its most cutting-edge extreme ultraviolet (EUV) machines to China. However, the company has continued selling older DUV equipment to Chinese clients. The MATCH Act would eliminate that exemption entirely, while also extending equivalent restrictions to allied nations' companies — ensuring a level playing field for all U.S. partners in the global chip supply chain.The legislation explicitly names China's leading chipmakers — SMIC, Hua Hong, Huawei, CXMT, and YMTC — prohibiting both the sale and servicing of restricted equipment to these entities. This represents a significant escalation, as after-sales servicing has remained a grey area in prior export control frameworks.The stakes are considerable for ASML. China represented its single largest market in 2025, contributing 33% of total revenue, though that share is projected to fall to aro

Lighter, a DEX focused on perpetual (perps) trading, has been tapped to power Telegram’s native leveraged trading.

In a statement on the 2nd of April, Wallet in Telegram said that users on the privacy-focused messenger can now trade crypto, stocks, metals, and oil with up to 50x leverage.

The wallet has seen strong adoption with over 150 million registered users.

About 25 million of these users are considered active, especially in P2P transfers and fiat on-ramps, making Telegram a key crypto trading terminal. The messenger itself has over 1 billion users.

As such, the integration of Lighter could boost trading volumes on the DEX too. As it stands, this is the primary and largest Lighter integration to date.

For comparison, its rival Hyperliquid runs perps trading for Phantom, Rabby, MetaMask, and others. This fueled Hyperliquid’s initial adoption by sharing fees from trades routed by the apps.

Could Lighter benefit from a similar traction?

Will the deal boost Lighter’s trading activity?
The collaboration comes at a time when the demand for perpetual trading has exploded. At the market peak last October, the overall perp volume reached $350 billion and $25 billion in Open Interest (OI).

Despite the broader crypto rout in the past few months, perp volume still hovered around $150 billion.

However, Lighter’s trading activity has declined significantly. Especially after the LIT’s token debut at the end of last December, which ended the farming period. As a result, traders who were hunting for an airdrop migrated elsewhere to search for new opportunities.

Consequently, Lighter’s trading activity fell sharply after December. This decline has extended into Q1 2026, and there hasn’t been any meaningful recovery in Q2 as the broader crypto market remains subdued.

So far, the weekly perps volumes have fallen from a record $75B in November to about $8B in April—an 89% decl

BRICS New Development Bank (NDB) is touting the Chinese yuan for funding across the Global South. China's onshore bond market is backed by liquidity, and the local currency remains stable against the US dollar. This puts it in the league to provide loans for developing countries in the Chinese currency. Borrowing costs in the local currency are low, which can save millions in foreign exchange rates.In addition, China's President Xi Jinping has been aggressively pushing the Chinese yuan for a long-term use case in the BRICS-led New Development Bank. This is the perfect stepping stone for Jinping to put his national currency for lending through the bank. The development will further strengthen the yuan in the forex markets and stabilize it against the US dollar.Also Read: BRICS: Russia to Introduce Ban on Gasoline Exports From April 1BRICS: Chinese Yuan To Be Used to Fund the Global South via New Development BankSource: Wikipedia The borrowing costs in the Chinese yuan are low, said Zhongxia Jin, the BRICS-led New Development Bank's Director General for Treasury and Portfolio Management. He added that the Chinese bond market "is now one of the most cost-effective funding sources in the world."

Here's what 'cracking' bitcoin in 9 minutes by quantum computers actually means

Google's Quantum Al team said earlier this week that a future quantum computer could derive a bitcoin private key from a public key in roughly nine minutes. The number ricocheted across social media and spooked markets.

But, what does it actually mean in practice?

Let's start with how bitcoin transactions work. When you send bitcoin, your wallet signs the transaction with a private key, a secret number that proves you own the coins.

That signature also reveals your public key, a shareable address, which gets broadcast to the network and sits in a waiting area called the mempool until a miner includes it in a block. On average, that confirmation takes about 10 minutes.

Your private key and public key are linked by a math problem called the elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem. Classical computers can't reverse that math in any useful timeframe, while a sufficiently powerful future quantum computer running an algorithm called Shor's could.

Here's where the nine minutes part comes in. Google's paper found that a quantum computer could be "primed" in advance by pre-computing the parts of the attack that don't depend on any specific public key.

A U.S. fighter jet identified as an F-15 was shot down over Iran on April 3, with one crew member rescued and President Trump briefed, adding a sharp new layer of escalation to a conflict that has already pushed Bitcoin down more than 40% from its October 2025 all-time high. Summary A US fighter jet, identified by CNN analysis as an F-15, was shot down over Iran on April 3, with one crew member rescued, according to sources cited by CNN. The White House confirmed President Trump has been briefed, and Trump posted on X referencing reopening the Strait of Hormuz “with a little more time.” Bitcoin, already trading near $67,000 amid weeks of war-driven pressure, faces renewed downside risk as oil markets prepare to price in the latest escalation. A U.S. fighter jet identified as an F-15 was shot down over Iran on April 3, with one crew member rescued and President Trump briefed, adding a sharp new layer of escalation to a conflict that has already pushed Bitcoin (BTC) down more than 40% from its October 2025 all-time high. Iranian state media published images of the downed aircraft, which CNN analysis matched to an F-15. The White House press secretary confirmed that “President Trump has been briefed,” with live coverage updated at 1:12 p.m. EDT. Crypto markets absorb the shock Bitcoin was trading near $67,000 at the time of writing, down modestly on the day. The downed aircraft adds a new variable to an already fragile macro backdrop. As crypto.news has tracked, Bitcoin has repeatedly tested the $65,000–$67,000 range as a support zone during periods of heightened U.S.–Iran tension, with sharper downside reserved for moments of genuine escalation — the initial U.S. strikes sent BTC briefly to $63,000 before markets stabilized. The incident lands on Good Friday, with traditional U.S. equity markets closed for the Easter holiday. Oil, already trading above $100 per barre

Buterin has warned of the privacy and security risks posed by today's Al agents, while sketching a path forward that relies on decentralized technology.In a detailed post published April 2, 2026, Buterin described building his own "paranoid" local-first large language model setup to counter the mainstream Al industry's lax approach to data leaks, jailbreaks, backdoors, and unauthorized data exfiltration. The Ethereum co-founder highlighted real-world attack vectors, such as agents being compromised simply by visiting a malicious webpage or through hidden instructions in third-party plugins that quietly send user data to external servers. Buterin argues that the core problem is that most current Al frameworks prioritize capability over security, often allowing agents to rewrite prompts, open new channels, or execute code with little oversight.Buterin's solution starts with keeping everything local, running inference on personal hardware, sandboxing tools with bubblewrap, and using NixOS for reproducibility. Human confirmation is required for sensitive actions.For cases where local models fall short, such as complex cryptographic tasks, Buterin proposes hybrid approaches using zero-knowledge proofs for verifiable remote calls, mixnets for anonymity, trusted execution environments, and input sanitization by the local model before any remote interaction.This vision aligns directly with Ethereum's evolving 2026 roadmap, which is shifting emphasis toward becoming a "Private World Computer." Key developments include deeper integration of zero-knowledge proofs to hide transaction details while proving validity, stealth addresses to prevent history reconstruction
