The tiny Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan has sold another batch of Bitcoin worth $18 million, according to on-chain intelligence firm Arkham. The country that was once celebrated as a crypto powerhouse and an emerging mining destination has now offloaded a large chunk of its mining assets, totaling $198 million to date. There is no official communication regarding why the country is swiftly liquidating its once-prized BTC reserve. It could be as simple as the country needing foreign exchange amid a global slump in tourism due to an unreliable flight schedule, or it could be reversing its policy of maintaining a crypto strategic reserve earned from its mining infrastructure. Arkham tweeted:Based on the Arkham reporting, the remote country sold around 240 BTC in two noteworthy badges recently. The amount was sent to multiple addresses used by the country’s handlers to liquidate their crypto. The move follows increasingly frequent BTC sales by the country, often in smaller batches of $5 million-$40 million. The country’s Druk Holdings, which manages its BTC, still holds around 3,524 BTC across its addresses, worth over $250 million. However, at this rate, the kingdom will run out of the crypto by September, Arkham estimates. The 770,000-strong nation with a GDP of $3 billion once held a massive 13,000 BTC in its wallets back in October 2024, worth around 40% of its entire GDP.The sparsely populated Buddhist nation has prospered under the “green mining” initiative, leveraging its cheap surplus hydroelectricity as a clean, economical alternative to other national grids. Bitcoin mining itself was a state-led initiative and was praised for creating jobs, generating revenue (including funds reportedly used to pay public wages), and positioning the kingdom as a pioneer in responsible crypto mining. However, things are changing rapidly as mining operations are reportedl

North Korean hackers likely pocketed hundreds of millions in stolen crypto — and now a US court is being asked to decide whether a stablecoin giant should have stopped them.

Circle’s Own Track Record Becomes A Key Weapon
A class action lawsuit filed in a Massachusetts federal court this week names Circle Internet Group as the defendant, with plaintiffs arguing the company had both the means and the opportunity to stop roughly $280 million in stolen USDC from moving across blockchains — and did nothing.

The case was brought by Drift Protocol investor Joshua McCollum, representing more than 100 affected members. Their attorneys put it plainly: Circle allowed criminal use of its own technology.


The complaint was filed Wednesday in a Massachusetts US district court by Drift investor Joshua McCollum, representing more than 100 members.
The April 1 attack on Drift Protocol saw attackers drain funds and route them from Solana to Ethereum using Circle’s Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol, a bridging tool the company operates. The transfers happened over several hours, according to reports. The window was wide open.

What makes the lawsuit particularly pointed is what happened just days before the hack. About a week prior, Circle froze 16 USDC wallets tied to a sealed US civil case. Plaintiffs seized on that detail. If Circle could move fast for a court-adjacent matter, they argue, it could have acted here too. That single fact sits at the center of the legal fight.

I hope there’s some precedent set. Either you’re a decentralized protocol and literally do not have the power to freeze or you’re not and you should be freezing hacked funds. This middle ground hand wavy “only with a court order” stuff is weak. Misses the forest for the trees https://t.co/TqzOYKZOvm

Senate Clears 10-Day FISA Stopgap After House Revolt Sinks Longer Deal



The Senate passed a 10-day FISA extension 2026 by voice vote Friday, keeping the surveillance program alive until April 30 after a bloc of 20 House Republicans overnight derailed both a five-year and an 18-month renewal that Speaker Johnson and the White House had spent a week negotiating.

The Senate cleared a FISA extension 2026 stopgap by voice vote Friday morning, buying Congress until April 30 after an all-night collapse on Capitol Hill left two separate long-term renewal attempts in ruins. The measure goes to President Trump for signature before the program’s Monday expiration.

Section 702 allows US spy agencies including the CIA, NSA, and FBI to collect foreign communications without a warrant, including those of Americans in contact with targeted foreigners. Intelligence officials have called it the single most important national security tool the country has. “FISA is the single most important national security asset we have in the intelligence field,” said Sen. Angus King of Maine, a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee. “It constitutes a very high percentage of the president’s daily brief.”

What Collapsed Overnight

Johnson entered Thursday evening believing a deal was in hand. Shortly before midnight, GOP leaders unveiled a revised five-year extension designed to win over privacy hawks. It failed. They then tried an 18-month clean renewal that Trump had demanded. That failed 197-228 on the procedural vote, with 20 Republicans joining most Democrats in opposition.

At 2:09 AM Friday, the House passed the 10-day stopgap by unanimous consent. The Senate convened a rare Friday session hours later and approved it the same way.

Trump had pressured Republicans all week through Truth Social posts, CIA Director John Ratcliffe briefed lawmakers directly on Wednesday

XRP and Dogecoin ETFs received approval in similar timeframes and have since been trading on the open market for six months now. During this time, there have been ups and downs for digital assets as interest fluctuated with the bear markets. Given the fact that both of these ETFs were approved in the same month, this report looks into their performances, comparing the funds to see which digital asset has drawn the most interest from investors.

Dogecoin ETFs Performance In 6 Months
The initial response to the Dogecoin ETFs was excitement back in November 2025, as the expectation had been building for a while. Once the ETFs launched, though, it was quickly evident that interest was not as high as expected. According to data from the SoSoValue website, the inflow in the first month came out to $2.16 million, with total net assets sitting at $6.29 million.

While the following months would see better inflow numbers, they were not exactly much better. For example, the cumulative total net inflow for December 2025 was $2.34 million, only slightly higher than the $2.16 million recorded in October.

January 2026 has come out as the best month for the Dogecoin ETFs so far, with a cumulative total net inflow of $6.41 million. This had brought the total net assets above $10 million for the first time. However, since then, the Dogecoin ETFs have been unable to replicate this.

As for the month of April, there have only been two days of inflows/activity despite being two weeks in. The site recorded inflows of $1.34 million on Friday, April 10, and $187,370 on Tuesday, April 14, bringing the total net assets to $10.8 million. But since then, there has been no other activity for the Dogecoin ETFs.
