Tether is quietly reinforcing one of the strongest trends in crypto right now: steady, institutional Bitcoin accumulation.
On April 15, Tether moved 951 BTC (worth حوالي $70.5 million) from a hot wallet linked to Bitfinex into its dedicated reserve address. With this transfer, its total holdings climbed to 97,141 BTC, valued at over $7 billion at current prices.
This isn’t a one-off move—it’s part of a consistent strategy in place since 2023:
👉 allocating up to 15% of quarterly profits into Bitcoin
And that detail matters.
Unlike speculative buying, Tether’s approach is structured and disciplined:
• Accumulating during dips or around quarter cycles
• Avoiding hype-driven entries
• Holding long-term (no sales from reserves so far)
As a result, the company is sitting on billions in unrealized gains, while continuing to build its position.
Tether’s leadership has been clear in its thesis—Bitcoin, much like gold, is seen as a hedge against fiat currency debasement. Importantly, these BTC holdings are not backing USDT 1:1, but instead act as a strategic reserve layer on top of its primary assets like U.S. Treasuries and cash equivalents.
So what does this mean for the market?
1️⃣ Persistent Buy Pressure
This kind of programmatic accumulation introduces a steady source of demand that doesn’t react to short-term sentiment.
2️⃣ Strengthening the “Bitcoin as Reserve Asset” Narrative
When major players consistently allocate profits into BTC, it reinforces its role beyond speculation—toward macro hedge and store of value.
Despite USDT’s massive circulating supply (over $185 billion), Bitcoin still represents a minority share of Tether’s reserves—but its symbolic weight is growing fast.

The Bitcoin price and the general cryptocurrency market received a major boost over the past week, as the geopolitical tensions in the Middle East seemingly reached a temporary halt. The premier cryptocurrency has maintained relatively strong momentum since breaking the psychological $70,000 resistance on Tuesday, April 7.

Now, this sudden resurgence has sparked conversations among the crypto crowd on whether the Bitcoin price has formed a structural bottom yet. According to a prominent crypto founder, the world’s largest cryptocurrency might still experience “one final dump” before the end of this bear phase.

On-Chain Signal Points To One More BTC Drop
In an April 10 post on the X platform, the Alphractal founder and CEO, Joao Wedson, highlighted an emerging signal that suggests that the Bitcoin price still likely has one more trip to the downside. This projection is based on an on-chain insight that suggests that BTC’s price tends to move toward a cycle bottom when the Investor Price falls below the Long-Term Holder (LTH) Realized Price.

Wedson explained the relevance of this on-chain insight and why it emerges before a major price and an ensuing coin accumulation. According to the on-chain data expert, the Investor Price is a metric that measures the average cost of economically active coins, and, when it falls below the LTH Realized Price, suggests fresher capital has flowed in at lower prices than long-term investors paid.

Wedson wrote on X:

This usually happens after distribution phases, when demand weakens, and marginal buyers step back. Long-term holders historically sell less when the price approaches or dips below their cost basis.

China's new home prices extended their downward trend in March, according to fresh data released by the National Bureau of Statistics, though some of the country's largest cities began showing modest month-on-month improvements — a potential early sign of stabilization in an otherwise struggling real estate sector.Based on calculations by Reuters using official government statistics, new home prices across China declined 0.2% in March compared to the previous month. While still negative, this marks a slight easing from the 0.3% month-on-month drop recorded in February, suggesting the pace of decline may be gradually slowing in certain segments of the market.However, the year-over-year picture remains concerning. Annual home prices fell 3.4% in March, a steeper decline than February's 3.2% drop and the most significant annual decrease seen in the past ten months. This deepening yearly contraction highlights the persistent challenges facing China's property market, where weak consumer demand continues to suppress activity and limit any meaningful price recovery.The ongoing softness in China's housing market reflects broader economic headwinds, including cautious homebuyer sentiment, tightening household budgets, and lingering uncertainty following years of turbulence among major property developers. Despite government efforts to stimulate demand through eased mortgage restrictions and policy support measures, buyer confidence has yet to fully rebound.Major cities, however, are offering a slightly more optimistic outlook. Month-on-month improvements in urban centers suggest that targeted policy interventions may be beginning to take effect at the local level, even as national figures remain in negative territory.Analysts and investors will be closely watching China's real estate data in the coming months to determine whether the marginal improvements seen in ma

Arthur Hayes says crypto markets are crashing because the community can't agree on why they're crashing
Arthur Hayes says the crypto crowd is getting hit while still fighting over the reason for the drop. In his latest essay, Arthur warns that: “I don’t know anything about war fighting,” and makes clear he has no inside line into what global leaders may do next.

What he does say he has is public data, basic math, propaganda AI agents, and a portfolio to protect.

He says there are really four possible outcomes, but one is useless for investors. Nuclear destruction is not something he thinks anyone can trade around, so he throws it out. That leaves three main paths, plus one middle case tied to a US blockade. Arthur says he is trying to find a portfolio setup that can beat hydrocarbons, food, and fuel prices in the best case, and in the worst case still do better than most major assets.

Arthur Hayes says Bitcoin comeback is waiting for Fed liquidity injection

In the first case, Arthur says the war stops and things go back to what they were before, but that still would not solve the deeper problem because the bigger threat is AI replacing white-collar workers across the US economy.

“The American economy is the most exposed because its GDP is ~70% driven by consumer spending. Consumers finance their materialism using bank credit, and these loans become assets on banks’ balance sheets,” says Arthur.

Arthur says the AI-led bust could be as serious as the 2008 subprime mess. He writes that rising consumer delinquencies are already showing up before the real layoff wave has even started.

He also gives a story from a crypto gaming founder who tested the latest Claude model during Christmas 2025, built usable code fast, then brought top engineers together to rethink the company.

After that, the firm built an agent workflow that coded all day and all night, including code review. He says that led the company to plan cuts to 50% of staff. He adds tha

Ripple’s XRP token is struggling to reclaim the $1.40 price level despite Bitcoin’s (BTC) rally to the $75,000 mark. According to CoinGecko’s XRP data, XRP has fallen 1% in the last 24 hours, 1.5% in the last week, and 8.3% over the previous month. Despite the dip, XRP’s price has risen 1.3% in the 14-day charts.

However, the underlying asset is struggling to break past its $1.40 resistance level.XRP’s reluctance to break the $1.40 price level could be due to larger bearish forces.

edgeX [EDGE] surges 18% as buybacks hit $13mln – What happens 

Over the past 24 hours, edgeX has climbed 18%, marking a standout performance in an otherwise subdued market. The move reflects more than short-term speculation. It points to a shift in underlying market structure.

The rally appears driven by a mix of strengthening fundamentals and sustained bullish pressure. Even so, one variable continues to shape the near-term outlook.

What is driving the edgeX rally?

A major driver behind the latest move is the edgeX [$EDGE] team’s continued supply reduction strategy.

As the price advanced, the circulating supply tightened. The team deployed $838,000 in buybacks during this rally.

Since initiating the program in April, total buybacks have reached $13 million, steadily removing tokens from the open market.

S&P Global Ratings has downgraded the Australian Securities Exchange's issuer credit rating to "A+/A-1" from "AA-/A-1+", just two weeks after Australian regulators publicly flagged serious governance and risk management failures at the exchange operator.The decision reflects a pattern of high-profile operational failures at ASX, including repeated trading outages, the collapse of its long-running CHESS replacement project, and a 2024 settlement breakdown that drew widespread scrutiny. Regulators have consistently pointed to weak internal controls and a corporate culture perceived as favoring short-term shareholder returns over the reliability of critical market infrastructure.The Australian Securities and Investments Commission had previously raised concerns that ASX was neglecting essential system upgrades in favor of financial performance. Following a 10-month inquiry, ASIC's final report concluded that ASX had repeatedly applied short-term fixes to systemic problems rather than addressing their root causes, which were largely technology-related.S&P echoed these concerns, cautioning that a further downgrade remains possible if the exchange's risk controls — particularly around clearinghouse operations and financial safeguards — fail to improve within the next two years. Conversely, the ratings agency indicated that completing its governance and risk management overhaul would be the most credible path toward a ratings upgrade, though it considers that outcome unlikely in the near term.Despite the downgrade, S&P revised ASX's outlook from "negative" to "stable," citing the exchange's dominant market position and its continued importance to Australia's financial infrastructure. The long-term issue rating on ASX debt was also lowered to "A+" from "AA-."In response, ASX reaffirmed its commitment to implementing the measures outlined in its Commitments Plan, ali

Absurd governance scam': World Liberty Financial's new proposal prompts harsh criticism from Justin Sun and other holders

World Liberty Financial’s new proposal seeks to extend the lock-up and vesting period for early supporters by four years.

Tron Founder Justin Sun issued harsh criticism of the new proposal, calling it one of the “most absurd governance scams” he has ever seen.

Trump-linked cryptocurrency project World Liberty Financial is facing harsh criticism from its investors as a new proposal seeks to extend lock-ups on WLFI tokens by up to four years for early supporters.

Tron founder Justin Sun, the largest individual investor in World Liberty, criticized the project in a Wednesday social media post. Sun has been engaging in an extended feud with World Liberty, stemming from the project's decision to freeze his WLFI tokens.

"This proposal is not governance," Sun wrote. "This proposal has been packaged as a 'governance alignment signal' and a 'long-term commitment,' but strip away the packaging and what you have is one of the most absurd governance scams I have ever seen."

The proposal, released Wednesday by World Liberty, seeks to convert 62,282,252,205 WLFI tokens from indefinite lockups to fixed vesting schedules. 

Specifically, the proposal said tokens held by founders, team members, advisors, and partners would face a two-year lock-up followed by a three-year linear vesting period, and would require them to burn 4.5 billion WLFI. 

Meanwhile, early supporters that collectively hold more than 17 billion tokens would face a two-year cliff followed by a two-year linear vesting period — meaning their tokens would be fully distributed by year four. 

"Holders who do not affirmatively accept the new schedule remain locked indefinitely under existing terms," the team wrote.
