Polkadot recovers 17% after Hyperbridge exploit: Will DOT’s gains continue?

 The Hyperbridge exploit caused Polkadot [$DOT] to lose a significant portion of its market cap, but it has since fully recovered.

 The altcoin’s price crashed after a hacker minted 1 billion $DOT tokens on Ethereum [$ETH] but only sold them for $237K due to lack of liquidity.  The team clarified that the actual loss had ballooned to $2.5 million as the team made efforts to recover the funds.

 However, the assurance that Polkadot’s core network security remained intact fueled a 17% price recovery.

 What drove $DOT’s price recovery?

 A statement released by the team after the exploit assured users of security, as the core network had not been affected.  It’s the bridged $DOT tokens on Ethereum.

 As a result, the community sentiment returned to 82% bullish from 954.1K voters, as per CoinMarketCap.  Consequently, the price of the altcoin rallied from $1.146 to $1.354.

 The relief brought about a rebound in network activity.  As per Artemis data, the number of transactions increased by 1,400, from 10.5K to 11.9K, in just one day.

 Additionally, daily active users (DAU) increased by 1.67x even though the figures remained relatively low.  DAU rose from 3,000 to 5,000, indicating users were gradually returning to the network.

 The Total Value Locked (TVL) also experienced a surge of about 11.29% in a day, while the stablecoin market cap grew to $77.83 million after the massive drop.

 Moreover, the altcoin commanded a significant amount of daily trading volume of about $403 million.  However, the revenue of the network remained low as it attempted to get back on its feet.

Film Review: “Self Custody” Indie Film about Bitcoin on Amazon Prime
In the wild west of money, where a forgotten password to your Bitcoin wallet can mean the difference between fortune and ruin, comes the taut 31-minute Bitcoin action-thriller Self Custody (2026). Co-directed by Garrett Patten (who also stars as the desperate lead) and Fernando Ferro, the micro-feature is produced by Patten’s own TBK Productions in association with Tucci & Company. 

The film features Entourage alum Adrian Grenier in a key supporting role, alongside UFC champion and Olympic gold medalist Henry Cejudo in his acting debut, and House star Odette Annable. After a private Sundance screening and pickup by Inaugural Entertainment for distribution, Self Custody (2026) arrived on Tubi and Plex before landing on Amazon Prime Video—delivering a compact, terrifying yet entertaining tale drawn from real-world stories of lost Bitcoin wallets.

Scott, a family man, finds himself in financial trouble after failing to organize his finances when his family friend and accountant gives him a call. Turns out Scott had gotten a signing bonus from some tech company he worked for in 2014, paid in Bitcoin. Today, presumably well into the 2020’s, that bonus is worth over 14 million dollars. The film follows Scott as he tries to claim this Bitcoin, quickly realizing his self-custody setup was done improperly, and he does not remember the PIN code to the wallet. 

The film is overall negative on self-custody as a practice, presenting the absolute worst-case scenario for a Bitcoin or crypto owner. A series of mistakes, presented as innocent but really born out of a lack of study or knowledge of the technology and industry, led Scott to catastrophic loss, in admittedly a very entertaining and action-packed fashion.

Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure Most investors tracking XRP are watching the wrong screen. XRP’s price action has struggled to show the scale of what has been building around Ripple, RLUSD, and the XRP Ledger. The price action is full of red monthly candles while a much broader institutional foundation is being assembled underneath it.That disconnect is what enthusiast X Finance Bull leaned on in a recent post on X. Recent developments from Ripple itself suggest that the claim is not as easy to dismiss as it once was. Ripple’s Story Is Growing Past PaymentsMany XRP community members are looking at ultra-bullish pictures for the cryptocurrency. One of such community members is X Finance Bull, who recently took to the social media platform X to highlight reasons as to why the mass adoption of Ripple, XRP, XRP Ledger, and RLUSD is already here.Related Reading: Pundit Says Stop Analyzing XRP On A Chart, Do This InsteadOne of the key points the analyst highlighted is Ripple’s strategy to build a full end-to-end treasury ecosystem setup. The setup functions as a financial operating layer that integrates with a company’s existing banks, ERP systems, and internal workflows, linking them to digital asset rails without requiring any overhaul of existing infrastructure.Enterprise platforms such as SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, and Workday are all connected through a single API layer referred to as ClearConnect. The same API layer bridges traditional rails (ACH, wire transfers, and SWIFT) with XRP settlement, RLUSD, and Ripple’s brokerage and custody infrastructure.  The most important thing in this treasury ecosystem is that Ripple is growing and no longer pitching itself only as a cross-border payments company. On April 1, Ripple announced native digital asset capabilities inside Ripple Treasury, describing it as the first treasury management system with built-in support for digital assets. RLUSD And Ripple Prime Ar

Robinson had been rushed there after hotel staff found her unresponsive in her room the day before. Based on reports from NBC News and CBS News, police have ruled her death a suicide but they are holding McCann's passport while they await the results of a formal autopsy. The couple had been staying at the same hotel when a dispute arose between them. Officials said the two were separated and moved to different rooms following what police described as a "misunderstanding." Staff later found Robinson in her room with a belt around her neck.McCann has not commented publicly. He could not be reached for comment. Ashly Robinson, right, with her sister, Alyssa Endres.

According to the family, Robinson had recently celebrated her 31st birthday and her engagement to McCann both of which had happened just days before her death. Endres described her sister as happy at the time. Robinson, who went by the name Ashlee Jenae on social media, posted her last photo April 5, showing her feeding a giraffe while she celebrated her birthday. The family's challenge to the police ruling adds another layer of uncertainty to a case that is already far from closed.

Ethereum Foundation Levels Up Its Security With A Detective Program
The North Korean secret crypto-agents don’t rest, so the Ethereum Foundation decided it was time they put on the detective’s hat to track them before they too fell victims to them, just as Drift Protocol was at the beginning of the month. And so, yesterday afternoon the Foundation announced on an official blog post the starking results yielded by the ETH Rangers Program (and yes, everything related to North Korean hackers inevitably sounds straight out of an RPG or action movie).

The ETH Rangers Program has wrapped up and the results speak for themselves: $5.8M+ recovered, 785+ vulnerabilities reported, 100+ DPRK operatives identified, and so much more.

A decentralized defence for a decentralized network.

According to the blog post, the Ethereum Foundation teamed up with Secureum, The Red Guild, and Security Alliance (SEAL) in late 2024 to roll out said program. The initiative offered stipends to people carrying out public‐goods security work across the Ethereum ecosystem.

The program’s mission consisted in backing independent security initiatives that strengthen Ethereum’s overall robustness, while spotlighting and rewarding contributors with a proven history of delivering high‐impact security work for the broader network.

After six months, the results of the program speak for itself.

TRX Price Analysis: Breakout Holds as TRX Forms Higher Lows

TRX price structure has shifted from a downtrend into a recovery phase. After forming a double bottom near $0.27–$0.28, the price established a strong demand base, preventing further downside. The key structural shift came with a breakout above the descending trendline, signaling weakening selling pressure.

Since the breakout, TRX has not shown aggressive upside but instead continues to form higher lows above $0.30–$0.31, reflecting controlled accumulation. This type of movement indicates sustained buying rather than speculative spikes. Short-term EMAs are gradually trending upward, supporting the current structure. As long as TRX holds above the breakout zone, the trend remains intact.

On the upside, immediate resistance lies near $0.34–$0.35, and a sustained move above this range could open the path toward $0.38, the next major supply zone. A breakdown below $0.30 would weaken the bullish structure and signal loss of momentum.
