BASED: Hyperliquid’s On-Chain Super App

Chinese-Canadian educator and Predictive History host Jiang Xueqin has stirred debate after arguing that Bitcoin may have been created by the CIA or a broader US “deep state,” rather than by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto. The claim, made on the April 15 episode of the Jack Neel Podcast, quickly drew pushback from prominent Bitcoin commentators who said Jiang’s argument rests on a basic misunderstanding of how the network works.

Was Bitcoin A CIA Project?
Jiang, a Beijing-based commentator with 2.3 million YouTube subscribers, framed the theory around what he described as a game-theory process of elimination. He said the standard origin story “makes no sense,” asking why someone would spend years or even decades developing blockchain technology only to release it to the world for free and then disappear.

“So then you have to ask yourself three questions,” Jiang said. “First of all is who would have the technology and the expertise to create something like the blockchain. Second of all, you have to ask who would benefit from this blockchain creation. The third question you want to ask is why would they keep it secret?”

From there, Jiang argued that the likely candidates were US intelligence and defense agencies, citing the role government-linked institutions played in building foundational internet infrastructure. “Probably the same people who created the internet, probably the same people who created GPS, DARPA, NSA, CIA, probably these guys,” he said. In his telling, blockchain would serve two strategic purposes: surveillance and covert financing.

He pushed the argument further by suggesting that the network’s value depends on people believing it sits outside political control. “The answer is only if people believe that this was transparent, open and beyond authority, beyond political control, would it have value,” Jiang said. “So the moment people recognize that this is a CIA operation, people won’t put their money into blockchain. People won’t put their mo

XRPL Gets Massive Adoption Boost As Crypto Wallet Provider Exodus Teams Up With Ripple in Strategic Push

Exodus Movement has announced an expansion of its support for the XRP Ledger (XRPL). The long-time self-custodial crypto wallet provider announced the update in collaboration with Ripple.
Exodus is deploying a deep native integration of the XRPL ecosystem, giving its millions of users direct access to advanced tools and newly added stablecoin support.

The rollout equips users with enhanced in-wallet tools to send and manage XRP directly inside Exodus, while also paving the way for upcoming support of the Ripple USD (RLUSD) stablecoin through its partnership with Ripple, per a Thursday press release.

Users now gain greater flexibility to store, send, and swap dollar-pegged value on the XRPL— all while retaining full control of their private keys and avoiding reliance on centralized exchanges.

“Expanding XRPL support means more ways to use XRP without sacrificing self-custody or the simplicity of the Exodus experience,” Exodus CEO JP Richardson postulated in a statement. “XRP is already a top asset in our wallet, and partnering with Ripple is a natural next step in making it easier to use every day.” 

RLUSD is a highly-regulated, enterprise-focused U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoin designed with transparency and real-world utility in mind. Since going live in late 2024, its market capitalization has soared to around $1.48 billion, according to CoinMarketCap data.

Stablecoin Product Lead at Ripple, Lauren Berta, said that open financial systems should empower users with greater control, adding that RLUSD enhances flexibility in how value is stored and moved.

Exodus has long offered support for XRP storage and transactions, during which the payments-focused token has organically become one of the platform’s most prominent assets.

A security lapse often cuts both ways. It sparks immediate fear, but the aftermath reveals deeper dynamics.

The recent Drift Protocol hack appears to be unfolding in a similar way. Initial market sentiment was dominated by panic after the exploit led to nearly $285 million in losses.

Now, recovery efforts are underway, but attention is shifting from the hack itself to the key players involved in the response.

As AMBCrypto earlier noted, Tether has stepped in with a $150 million recovery proposal for Drift Protocol, while Circle has declined to freeze the exploited USDC tied to the incident.

Notably, the contrasting reactions have fueled market speculation, putting Solana [SOL] right at the center of the narrative.

Cardano (ADA) founder Charles Hoskinson warns of a major danger in Bitcoin! “1.7 Million BTC at Risk!”


Recent concerns about advancements in quantum technology have become a significant and widely debated topic in the cryptocurrency market.

While many are expressing their opinions on quantum risk at this point, the founder of Cardano issued a warning regarding Bitcoin.

Cardano (ADA) founder Charles Hoskinson warned that the proposed Bitcoin upgrade could lead to 1.7 million $BTC being frozen.

Speaking to Coindesk, Hoskinson argued that the BIP-361 proposal, which aims to protect Bitcoin against quantum computing, has been incorrectly classified as a soft fork, and that this classification is wrong.

Hoskinson claimed that if this proposal were implemented, approximately 1.7 million $BTC created before 2013, including the 1 million $BTC held by anonymous Bitcoin founder Satoshi Nakamoto, would be permanently frozen.

The renowned founder stated that it would be impossible to transfer these 1.7 million early-issued coins because their owners lacked the means to provide proof, as these coins were issued before the introduction of seed phrases.

“Because the first Bitcoins were created before the seed syntax was introduced, proving ownership is difficult and therefore transferring ownership is impossible.”

He accused Bitcoin developers of unscrupulously imposing a hard fork by misleadingly labeling BIP-361 as a soft fork.

As you may recall, Google published a report addressing the quantum threat in late March. Following this significant research report by Google in late March, the cryptocurrency sector intensified its efforts to improve quantum resilience.

At this point, the quantum threat is not only worrying the Bitcoin ($BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) communities, but altcoins have also begun testing quantum-resistant technology. These altcoins inclu

Flare’s native token $FLR is gaining strong momentum ahead of a critical governance vote that could significantly reshape the network’s economic structure.
This week, Flare introduced a new governance proposal aimed at overhauling its protocol architecture, establishing a protocol-level revenue system, and reducing token inflation. The voting period is set between April 16 and April 24, and market activity has picked up as investors position ahead of the decision.
FLR has risen roughly 10.2% over the past week, trading around $0.0082, reflecting growing expectations around potential structural changes to the network’s tokenomics.
At the core of the proposal is a redesign of Flare’s value capture and MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) system. Instead of allowing external actors to extract MEV, the network aims to internalize this revenue and redirect it back into the ecosystem, creating a more protocol-aligned economic model.
The upgrade would unfold in three stages:
First, block production would shift from individual validators to a designated builder operated by the Flare Entity to improve stability.
Second, Flare Confidential Compute would be introduced, balancing transaction privacy with auditability.
Finally, proposer and builder roles would be merged, with validators focusing primarily on verification.
A major component of the proposal is the creation of FIRE (Flare Income Reinvestment Entity), which would aggregate protocol revenue and allocate it toward token burns and buybacks, linking network usage directly to supply reduction.
The plan also targets a reduction in annual inflation from 5% to 3%, along with lowering the yearly issuance cap from 5 billion to 3 billion FLR. Additionally, base gas fees would increase significantly, potentially accelerating burn activity from an estimated 7.5 million FLR to as much as 300 million FLR annually, depending on network usage.

Bitcoin Long-Term Holder Losses Expand, Though Still Far From Historical Bottoms
​Long-Term Holder Losses Equivalent to 14% of Market Cap
On-chain analytics firm Glassnode pointed out in a recent post on X that the unrealized losses of Bitcoin Long-Term Holders (LTHs) have continued to climb. LTHs are defined as investors who have held their Bitcoin for more than 155 days and are generally considered the market's "HODLers."
​Since the fourth quarter of 2025, Bitcoin has faced significant declines alongside the broader crypto market, directly impacting this steadfast group. The "Unrealized Loss" metric measures the total loss currently held by investors whose purchase price was higher than the current spot price.
​Relative Unrealized Loss Trends
To better understand the magnitude, analysts look at the Relative Unrealized Loss, which expresses these losses as a percentage of the total Bitcoin market capitalization.
​Current Status: The 30-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) of this indicator has risen to 14%. This means the "Diamond Hands" of the market are currently holding losses equal to 14% of Bitcoin’s total value—the highest level seen since 2023.
​Historical Context: While 14% is significant, historical data shows that bear market bottoms typically see much higher pain levels. In previous cycles, this metric peaked at approximately 70% during the absolute market floor.
​The Bottom Line
While it is uncertain if this cycle requires the same level of capitulation, the fact that relative losses remain significantly below historical "bottom" levels suggests that the market may not have reached a point of maximum exhaustion yet.
​Current Price Action
Following the latest rebound, Bitcoin has climbed back above the $72,000 level.

DAO price has been on a massive run since the beginning of the month, rising over 7550%, forming highs close to $20. After a near-parabolic move from $2 to $19.66, the price is now pressing against a key resistance zone while momentum begins to slow. The rise has been largely driven by aggressive short liquidations and not steady organic demand, which raises the concern on the sustainability of the rally. 

As the price tightens within a structure, signs of buyer exhaustion emerge. The focus shifts from upside potential to risk management. The real test is whether this is a continuation set-up or the start of a deeper correction.
