XRP “Boring” Price Hides Strong On-Chain Signal
The price of XRP may be moving sideways near $1.35, but underlying data suggests a very different story is unfolding beneath the surface.


A fresh analysis from community figure Xaif points to the Network Value to Transactions (NVT) ratio as a key signal investors may be overlooking. Market participants often describe this metric as crypto’s equivalent of a price-to-earnings ratio.

Key Points

XRP trades sideways near $1.35, but falling NVT signals stronger real usage backing its current valuation.

NVT dropped from 1,200+ to ~170, suggesting less speculation and more utility-driven demand.

Lower exchange reserves and rising ETF inflows point to tightening supply and growing institutional interest.

With MVRV at lows and sentiment bearish, historical patterns suggest a potential bottom and rebound setup.

Viral Jack Neel and Jiang Xueqin Podcast Clip Revives Bitcoin Deep State Theory


A viral clip from the Jack Neel Podcast sent a Beijing-based commentator’s CIA-created- Bitcoin theory ricocheting across X, Tiktok, and crypto forums on Wednesday.

Key Takeaways:

A viral clip from Jack Neel Podcast Episode 86 shows Jiang Xueqin claiming the CIA created Bitcoin in 2026.

Jiang’s theory, built on game theory framing, has reached 2.3M YouTube subscribers with zero documentary evidence.

Crypto analysts and rebuttals on Youtube say Bitcoin’s open-source code directly contradicts Jiang’s surveillance thesis.

Predictive History’s Jiang Xueqin Says Bitcoin Is a Deep State Surveillance Tool

The clip, pulled from Episode 86, Part 2 of the Jack Neel Podcast and amplified by several crypto accounts, features Jiang Xueqin, a Chinese-Canadian high school history teacher who runs the Youtube channel Predictive History. The roughly four-minute excerpt centers on Jiang’s claim that Bitcoin was built by the American deep state as a surveillance and black-operations funding tool.

Jiang, who carries the informal online title “Professor” despite holding no university post, frames his case using what he calls game theory. Bitcoin.com News has featured Jiang on several occasions, as some of his predictions, like Trump winning the election and the U.S. going to war with Iran, have come true.

His Bitcoin argument, explained in an interview setting with Neel, follows three questions: who had the technical capacity to build Bitcoin, who benefits from its transparent ledger, and why would anyone build such a system and give it away for free. His answers point to DARPA, the NSA, and the CIA each time.

“When you do game theory analysis, you look at all possibilities, you end up with the deep state,” Jiang says in the clip. “You end up with the CIA.”

Bitcoin is testing a level that capped its rally in January, CryptoQuant says

￼  coindesk.com1 h

￼

Bitcoin’s rally toward $75,000 is running into a wall of supply just as institutional demand is holding steady.

The move higher has been driven largely by macro flows rather than a broad surge in speculative activity. U.S.-listed spot bitcoin ETFs have continued to draw consistent inflows this month, including roughly $240 million in a single session following geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, according to market maker Enflux.

That bid helped lift $BTC from around $71,000 to the mid-$70,000s, even as traditional markets absorbed rising oil prices and shifting rate expectations. The pattern, Enflux noted, reflects allocation behavior rather than momentum chasing.

But as bitcoin pushes higher, the character of the market is starting to change.

On-chain data suggests supply is beginning to emerge more aggressively as prices approach a key cost-basis level for short-term holders. Around $76,800 sits the so-called realized price for recent buyers, effectively the average entry point for traders who accumulated during the last phase of the drawdown, according to CryptoQuant. In weaker market regimes, that level has often acted as resistance, as investors who were previously underwater use rallies to exit at breakeven.

It should be noted that the same band capped January's bounce almost to the dollar before prices reversed toward $60,000.

CryptoQuant said bitcoin exchange inflows spiked to roughly 11,000 $BTC per hour, the highest since late December, as prices tested the $75,000 to $76,000 range.

At the same time, the average deposit size rose to about 2.25 $BTC, the highest daily reading since mid-2024, suggesting that larger holders are driving the move. The share of large transfers jumped from below 10% to above 40% of total inflows within days, a shift the

Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson has intensified her public criticism of the conservative-majority court's increasing reliance on its emergency docket — a fast-track legal pathway that has repeatedly been used to advance policies backed by President Donald Trump.Speaking at Yale Law School in a closed event whose video was later released, Jackson argued that the conservative justices are intervening too hastily in cases that lower courts have not yet fully resolved. She warned that this trend has produced a "corrosive effect" on the American judicial system, creating what she called "zombie proceedings" — situations where lower courts are stripped of their authority while cases remain unresolved before them.The emergency docket, often referred to as the "shadow docket," allows the Supreme Court to issue brief, unsigned rulings on an expedited basis, bypassing the standard process of public oral arguments and detailed written opinions. Jackson stressed that this mechanism was once reserved for rare and urgent situations, such as death row appeals, but has since evolved into a routine tool for deciding controversial policy matters.Since Trump returned to office in early 2025, the court's use of this pathway has surged dramatically. Rulings issued through it have enabled the administration to move forward on several contested policies, including immigration enforcement, a military ban on transgender individuals, federal agency firings, and foreign aid reductions — all while legal challenges were still pending in lower courts.Jackson cautioned that steering the nation's highest court into the center of every divisive political issue undermines its institutional credibility. She argued that emergency rulings are meant solely to prevent harm caused by litigation delays, not to establish binding legal precedent. Her remarks directly challenged Justice Ne

Crypto fund manager probed in the suspicious death of his fiancé’s death in Zanzibar

Joe McCann, founder of crypto investment firm Asymmetric, is being probed by authorities in Tanzania, following the the alleged death by suicide of his fiancé, U.S. influencer Ashly Robinson, during a trip to Zanzibar.

Robinson, 31, a Miami-based lifestyle creator also known as Ashlee Jenae, was found unresponsive on April 9 in a private villa at luxury resort Zuri Zanzibar, where the couple had been celebrating her birthday and recent engagement. She was later pronounced dead at a hospital.

According to an NBC News report, Zanzibar police investigating the death of Robinson confirmed she died by suicide following a “misunderstanding” between the couple.

Police confirmed the couple had been involved in a heated dispute before being separated twice by hotel staff and sent to separate rooms. However, police said Robinson’s death is still being investigated and have therefore withheld McCann’s passport, according to the news outlet.

Police have questioned McCann and have asked him to remain in the country while they receive the forensic results from Ashly’s autopsy.

The hotel said it was "deeply saddened" by what happened. "Our sincerest thoughts and sympathies go out to the family and loved ones during this painful time. We are providing our full cooperation to the local authorities and the U.S. Embassy," the hotel said in a statement.

Victim’s family sets up GoFund Me page

Robinson’s family, who said they doubt she died by suicide, have set up a GoFund Me page seeking to raise $50,000 to help with travel costs, arrangements and other unexpected expenses, they said. They have raised more than their target.

McCann, with an estimated net worth of $45 million, is a prominent figure in institutional crypto, leading Asymmetric, a hedge fund and venture firm backed by inves

U.S. stock index futures edged higher on Wednesday evening following a strong session that pushed the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite to all-time highs, fueled by diplomatic optimism and encouraging corporate earnings results.S&P 500 futures climbed 0.2% to 7,070.75 points, Nasdaq 100 futures advanced 0.3% to 26,440.75 points, and Dow Jones futures gained 0.2% to 48,478.0 points as of 8:43 PM ET.During regular trading, the S&P 500 surpassed the 7,000 milestone for the first time ever, closing approximately 0.8% higher, while the Nasdaq Composite surged nearly 1.6% on the back of broad-based strength in technology and software stocks. The Dow Jones Industrial Average posted a marginal decline, bucking the broader upward trend.A key driver behind the market rally was renewed optimism surrounding potential U.S.-Iran diplomatic negotiations. President Trump told Sky News that a permanent ceasefire with Iran was "very possible" ahead of King Charles's scheduled visit later this month. The White House confirmed that a second round of talks was underway and described the discussions as productive, though officials clarified that reports of a formal U.S. ceasefire request were inaccurate. Easing tensions helped calm investor fears over elevated oil prices and their potential inflationary impact on the broader economy.Strong bank earnings further boosted market confidence. Bank of America reported a 17% quarterly profit increase, driven by robust trading activity and a recovery in investment banking revenue. Morgan Stanley delivered an even more impressive showing, with profits jumping nearly 30%, supported by record equities trading and stronger dealmaking.Investor attention now shifts to upcoming earnings from PepsiCo, Travelers Companies, U.S. Bancorp, Abbott Laboratories, and Charles Schwab, all scheduled to report before Thursday's opening bell, as markets look to

CoW Protocol Price Falls; $COW Releases Statement on Recent Attack

CoW Protocol prices continue to be under pressure over the last 24 hours as the project grappled with fallout from a security incident on April 14. Crypto dropped by nearly 3% to trade at approximately $0.213. Yet that drop was while the global crypto market was on the rise, even as Bitcoin modestly gained.

The divergence illustrates a palpable change in sentiment on the protocol in the wake of the hack. The downturn was set in motion by a front-end attack that attacked the platform’s website. In the last statement release, it was reported that an attacker gained control over the cow.fi domain via DNS hijacking.

This lets the attacker then take users down the path to a malicious interface that had a close match to the original site to redirect them to a similar site. The device had been set up to deceive users into agreeing to approve malicious transactions or revealing sensitive wallet information. Only days after the problem was exposed, the squad put out a public alert.

Users were told to avoid interacting with the platform’s front-end. However, the protocol was also paused as a precautionary measure. The team assured that both the core smart contracts and backend systems were not compromised. Still, the attack carried a significant risk since it attacked the interface that users use to interact with the protocol.

The incident was flagged early by Blockaid, a firm that monitors decentralized applications for suspicious activity. Its detection system identified unusual behavior linked to the cow.fi domain. Shortly after, the protocol confirmed the issue and urged users to stay away until further notice. This quick response helped limit wider damage, even though the event still affected market confidence.
