Bitcoin flatlines as inflation data looms, bittensor drama unfolds



The crypto market held steady on Friday, with bitcoin trading at $71,700 and ether ($ETH) at $2,180, extending the low-volatility price action that has characterized the past few months.

Daily Bollinger bands, a technical analysis tool that measures market volatility, are at their narrowest since early 2024. In the past, such a tight range — bitcoin has held between $63,000 and $75,000 since early February — has ended with a 40% move in price, according crypto analyst Eric Crown.

A breakout above $75,000 in bitcoin's case would trigger upside momentum by trapping traders who are short and need to buy at market prices to cover their positions, while a short-term move below $70,000 will liquidate around $200 million worth of long positions that are betting on the breakout, according to CoinGlass' liquidation heatmap.

One key catalyst on Friday will be the U.S. consumer price index (CPI) data. March inflation is estimated at 3.3% year-on-year, driven by surging energy prices. High inflation figures tend to spur upside price action in the U.S. dollar, which could weigh on risk assets like bitcoin.

Derivatives positioning

Open interest (OI) in bitcoin futures increased by 1%, with average perpetual funding rates on major exchanges at their highest since Feb. 4. This shows a strengthening investor appetite for bullish exposure.

Other major cryptocurrencies were mixed. OI increased slightly in $XRP ($XRP) while holding flat in ether ($ETH) and solana (SOL). HYPE and AVAX are other standouts, displaying a bullish combination of OI growth and positive funding rates.

The privacy-focused $ZEC, meanwhile, shows OI growth and negative rates, a sign that traders are continuing to short futures and hedge downside risks even as the spot price rallies. $ZEC’s price rose to nearly $400, the highest since Jan. 28.

The "Perfect Existence" Theory and Adam Barker: Following a sensational investigative report by The New York Times, many experts are actively refuting claims that veteran cypherpunk Adam Barker is the mysterious inventor.

Meanwhile, former Mt. Gox CEO Mark Cappelles stated that the community has a responsibility to protect Satoshi Nakamoto's anonymity. Cappelles, who believes in "Perfect Existence," argues that the cryptocurrency community has an obligation to ensure Satoshi Nakamoto's true identity remains confidential.

HSBC and Standard Chartered-led group land Hong Kong’s first stablecoin licenses



Hong Kong granted its first two stablecoin issuer licenses to HSBC and Anchorpoint Financial, a Standard Chartered-led consortium that includes Animoca Brands on Friday.

The approvals by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA), the territory's central bank, mark the first batch under the Stablecoins Ordinance, which took effect in August 2025.

"We look forward to the issuers launching business according to their plans, exploring growth opportunities while properly managing risks," HKMA chief executive Eddie Yue said in an announcement on Friday.

"We hope their promotion of regulated stablecoins will address pain points in financial and economic activities, create values for both individuals and businesses, and support the healthy development of digital assets in Hong Kong.”

The HKMA assessed 36 applications and had signaled that the initial round would be limited. Financial Secretary Paul Chan said in his February budget address that only "a small number" would be approved, with the regulator prioritizing risk management, reserve quality, and anti-money-laundering controls.

The decision to license the city's note-issuing banks first appears to be deliberate. HSBC and Standard Chartered are two of only three commercial banks authorized to print Hong Kong dollar banknotes, a system that dates to 1846, when private banks began issuing currency backed by silver deposits in the absence of a colonial central bank.

Today, each note-issuing bank deposits U.S. dollars with the government's Exchange Fund at the fixed rate of HK$7.80 per dollar and receives Certificates of Indebtedness in return, against which it prints banknotes.

Yue drew the parallel in a December 2023 blog post.

Pre-1935 banknotes issued by commercial banks in exchange for deposited silver were a form of "private money," Yue

#Bittensor price crashed over 25% within hours after Covenant AI, one of the largest and most active subnets on Bittensor, recently exited the network over centralization concerns.  Summary Bittensor (TAO) plunged 25.6% from $340 to $253 after Covenant AI exited the network, triggering nearly $9 million in long liquidations. Covenant AI founder Sam Dare accused Jacob Steeves of centralization, alleging emission cuts and unilateral control over subnet operations. Technical breakdown below key support levels signals further downside risk, with price eyeing $236 and potentially $175 if selling pressure continues. According to data from crypto.news, Bittensor (TAO) price fell 25.6% from $340 to an intraday low of $253 on Friday, erasing close to $900 million from its market capitalization. Trading at $266.7, the token has dropped to levels not seen since mid March.  The sharp drop in price triggered nearly $9 million in liquidations from long positions as bulls were caught off guard after weeks of betting on continued upside.  Bittensor price tanked after Covenant AI, the biggest operator of several high-emission subnets, including SN3, SN81, and SN39, officially announced its departure from the Bittensor network.  In an official statement on April 10 on X, Covenant AI founder Sam Dare accused Bittensor founder Jacob Steeves of betraying the network’s core promise of decentralization.  You might also like: Alibaba claims top spot with new AI video generation model The post, which garnered over 1 million views and nearly 800 likes, claimed Steeves suspended emissions to Covenant’s subnets, stripped their moderation rights over their own community channels, and unilaterally abandoned critical subnet infrastructure.
