Gate Research flags 5x ETFs as tactical, not buy-and-hold

Gate Research says leveraged crypto ETFs now sit at the center of liquidity and short-term trading strategies on centralized exchanges, but warns their daily reset makes them unsuitable as long-term holdings in volatile markets.

Summary

Gate Research finds leveraged crypto ETFs work best as short-term tactical tools, not long-term investments.

Simulations show 5x products can lose more than 90% of value in 60 days in choppy markets due to "volatility decay."

Strategies using 5x tokens like ETH5S with volume breakout signals and hard time stops show a 67% win rate in backtests.

The latest report from Gate Research argues that leveraged products such as 5x long and inverse tokens are best used in tightly defined, short-duration trades built around "right-side" entries, volume-driven momentum breakouts and strict stop-loss rules.

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

My opinion is that XAUUSD still has a bullish bias overall, but it is not a smooth trend. Recent Reuters coverage says gold kept rising on April 17, 2026, supported by a weaker U.S. dollar and expectations of interest-rate cuts, while the World Gold Council notes that gold’s volatility has increased in 2026. At the same time, demand is showing signs of strain in some markets because prices are already very high, so sharp pullbacks can still happen. �
Reuters +2
In simple words, gold looks strong as a long-term safe-haven asset, but short-term movement can be fast and messy. So my view is: bullish overall, cautious on entries, and better for patience than chasing every spike

XRP Price Prediction: Ripple Posting Biggest Gain Edging BTC and ETH - Why the Sudden Surge? XRP is outpacing both Bitcoin and Ethereum with a margin right now, and the prediction around its price is getting bullish. Trading at above $1.42, XRP records a 5% jump from yesterday, while Bitcoin and other major alts remain stuck.

The catalyst stack is building fast. Multiple analysts have converged on a $2.00 median bull-case target, while net inflows hit $17 million, the second-largest inflow day. Seven spot XRP ETFs now hold a combined $1 billion AUM, a legitimacy marker that was unthinkable eighteen months ago.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin and Ethereum are offering traders little directional conviction. XRP's relative strength against both majors suggests something more specific is at work.

Ethereum Foundation-funded program exposes 100 DPRK workers in crypto
 

The Ethereum Foundation said it funded a six-month project that exposed 100 North Korean operatives who had infiltrated Web3 companies under fake identities.

The foundation on Thursday shared a recap of its ETH Rangers program, which was launched in late 2024 to provide "stipends for individuals doing public goods security work" within the ecosystem.

One of the recipients used the capital to build the Ketman Project to focus on investigating “fake developers” embedded within crypto, particularly operatives from the People's Republic of Korea.

During the six-month stipend period, the Ketman Project identified "100 different DPRK IT workers operating within Web3 organizations" and reached out to about 53 projects to alert them about having potentially employed active DPRK operatives.

"This work directly addresses one of the most pressing operational security threats facing the Ethereum ecosystem today," the Ethereum Foundation said.

North Korean operatives have been plaguing the crypto sector, leading to billions worth of crypto stolen over the years. One of the highest-profile hacking groups from North Korea is known as the Lazarus Group.

Yousof Azizi, an Iranian academic and media commentator known for his appearances on Sky News, BBC Persian, and the Middle East Institute, is facing deportation after being arrested by U.S. immigration authorities on Monday. The Department of Homeland Security accused Azizi of lying on his visa application, specifically denying past membership in Iran's Student Basij Organization — a paramilitary group affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps — between 2006 and 2010. Washington has designated the IRGC as a foreign terrorist organization, making any alleged connection a serious immigration concern.Azizi, a PhD candidate at Virginia Tech's School of Public and International Affairs, originally entered the United States in 2013 on a student visa. DHS stated his visa status was later terminated after he failed to re-enroll for the Fall 2025 semester. He is currently being held in Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody, with officials confirming he will receive due process throughout the proceedings.The arrest has drawn sharp criticism from the Council on American-Islamic Relations, which demanded Azizi's immediate release. CAIR accused the Trump administration of using ICE as a political tool to silence Iranian voices, particularly those critical of American and Israeli military actions in the region. The organization linked his detention to a broader pattern of targeting individuals who have spoken out against U.S. foreign policy.This case is the latest in a string of immigration enforcement actions that rights groups say disproportionately affect Muslim academics, students, and activists. Critics argue these moves raise serious concerns about free speech and due process under the current administration's immigration crackdown. The Trump administration has not provided specific evidence publicly to support its claims against Azizi, and his r
