Claim1,200 USDT in the Monthly Creation Challenge

Ether has shown strong recovery momentum, climbing nearly 38% from its swing low of $1,750 to around $2,400, but the bigger picture suggests this move may be more than just short-term momentum. On-chain data is pointing toward a deeper structural shift, supported by growing network activity and long-term accumulation.

Daily active addresses have surged significantly, rising from around 384,000 to over 730,000 within a short period. This sharp increase reflects stronger user engagement on the Ethereum network, a signal that has historically appeared near major market bottoms before strong rallies. As price pushed toward the $2,300 level, network activity also expanded, reinforcing the bullish narrative.

At the same time, accumulation wallets have been steadily absorbing Ether. These wallets, known for holding without selling, have increased their total holdings by 6.5 million ETH since the start of the year, bringing the total to over 26 million ETH. This represents a 33% increase and highlights growing long-term confidence among investors. Daily inflows into these wallets remain strong, averaging around 200,000 ETH, with notable spikes exceeding 350,000 ETH in a single day.

Another supporting factor is the rise in staked Ether, which has now reached approximately 39.2 million ETH. This continued growth in staking indicates that investors are locking up their holdings rather than selling, effectively reducing liquid supply in the market. Additionally, Ether reserves on exchanges have dropped to multi-year lows, tightening available supply and potentially amplifying price movements during periods of increased demand.

Boyaa Interactive Goes All In On Bitcoin Strategy

Boyaa Interactive has made a decisive move that grabbed global crypto attention. The company now plans to allocate only Bitcoin to its treasury. This decision marks a clear shift away from a diversified crypto approach. The firm already holds 4,092 Bitcoin, which strengthens its position among Asia’s top corporate holders.

This move reflects growing confidence in Bitcoin as a long-term store of value. Many companies earlier explored multiple crypto assets for diversification. Boyaa Interactive now rejects that strategy and focuses purely on Bitcoin. This decision aligns with a rising trend of institutional Bitcoin adoption across global markets.

The Boyaa Interactive Bitcoin strategy highlights a larger shift in corporate thinking. Companies now prefer clarity and conviction over diversification in volatile markets. This approach suggests that Bitcoin continues to dominate as the primary digital asset for treasury reserves.

Bittensor Price Faces Correction After Soaring Past $265

On April 17, Bittensor ($TAO) price witnessed an upward momentum with a surge of 7% on a daily chart following a rally in the Bitcoin ($BTC) price, but failed to hold its position and faced a quick correction on the daily chart.

On Friday, the overall crypto market sparked a bullish sentiment in the market, which helped most altcoins to gain a spike. The main reason behind the rally in the crypto market is the major development in peace talks between the U.S. and Iran. Apart from this, recently, artificial intelligence-related tokens have also attracted the attention of investors due to their real utility.

At the time of writing, Bittensor ($TAO) is trading at around $252.30 with a market capitalization of around $2.82 billion, according to CoinMarketCap. The daily trading volume also jumped by 37% in the last 24 hours and is currently revolving around $396.22 million.

Bittensor ($TAO) Price Struggles to Break Consolidation Pattern

According to the current price chart, the surge in the cryptocurrency came after a bounce from a major Fibonacci support level. This bounce was also supported by a 41% surge in trading volume.

On Friday, Bitcoin ($BTC) gained an upward momentum and rallied above $78,000. Amid this, Bittensor has also witnessed a small spike before returning to its pre-rally state.

A short-selling campaign targeting Wall Street's "tax avoidance business" is now aimed at a multi-billion dollar asset management giant.

According to a recent letter to investors obtained by Bloomberg, short-selling firm Orso Partners has established a short position in Affiliated Managers Group (AMG). AMG is an investment firm managing $813 billion, and its holdings include AQR Capital Management, founded by Cliff Asness.

Orso's logic is straightforward: AQR's core growth engine in recent years-its tax optimization strategy is facing a direct threat from tightening regulations. Once regulations are implemented, AMG's profits will be the first to be affected.

Following the report, AMG's stock price fell as much as 1.7% to $294.28 that day, completely erasing its earlier 2.9% intraday gain.

Foundation, a prominent Ethereum-based digital art hub, has permanently ceased operations after a planned rescue acquisition by the platform Blackdove collapsed. Summary The planned acquisition of Foundation by the digital art platform Blackdove has collapsed, resulting in the permanent closure of the Ethereum-based marketplace. Foundation CEO Kayvon Tehranian confirmed the site is unable to remain online under its current standing but will return briefly to allow users to delist their assets.

According to a Wednesday announcement on X by Foundation founder and CEO Kayvon Tehranian, the marketplace will not return to active service because the deal intended to sustain its future fell through. While Tehranian did not name Blackdove specifically in his initial statement, he confirmed that the sale's primary objective was to keep the platform running under new management. "That's no longer possible," Tehranian stated, noting that the company is currently unable to restore the site's functionality.

This temporary restoration is intended solely to allow users to delist their NFTs and secure their assets before the final shutdown. The NFT market is under stress The failure of the Foundation sale highlights a difficult period for the NFT sector, which has seen a steady exit of independent marketplaces as trading volumes struggle to match previous years. Blackdove had originally signaled its intent to acquire the platform in early 2025, with a transition period that lasted into 2026 before the deal finally dissolved.

Bitcoin Price Prediction: Hormuz, Iran War, Oil Price, Metals, and Stocks vs Crypto

Bitcoin price briefly cracked $78,000 yesterday, a level untouched since early February, before pulling back and stabilizing. The catalyst is a two-week U.S.-Iran ceasefire that collapsed crude prices and triggered $427 million in short liquidations, compressing the Strait of Hormuz risk premium that had been suffocating risk assets for months.

Crypto-linked equities outran Bitcoin itself in the recovery. Coinbase, Robinhood, and Strategy each surged at least 25% through Friday’s close, while BTC posted just under 7% gains over the same five trading days. It’s strong in isolation, modest by comparison.

Citi analyst Alex Saunders flagged the dynamic explicitly: “Crypto-equity correlations have strengthened following a recent dip,” with stocks are now pulling crypto up with them.

Meanwhile, Tether resumed BTC accumulation, blockchain data from Arkham Intelligence confirms 951 BTC moved to a wallet labeled “Tether: BTC Reserve,” adding a quiet but significant buy.

Market Updates: France Moves to Curb Crypto “Wrench Attacks”; Meta-1 Scam Operator Receives 23-Year Jail Term; Tether Commits $150M to Drift Recovery
French authorities are stepping up efforts to protect cryptocurrency investors amid a sharp increase in violent, targeted attacks.

Speaking at Paris Blockchain Week, Jean-Didier Berger, minister delegate to the interior minister of France, said the government has already introduced preventive steps. Specifically, these include a dedicated platform to reduce so-called “wrench attacks,” in which criminals use force to access digital assets.

The initiative is already seeing strong uptake, with thousands of users reportedly signing up. Berger also confirmed ongoing coordination with Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez on a broader national security strategy, which is expected to be developed in the coming weeks.

The urgency behind these measures is reflected in recent figures. French outlet RTL reported 41 crypto-related kidnappings so far in 2026. This suggests an incident roughly every two and a half days.

Beyond France, the trend appears global. Cybersecurity firm CertiK recorded 72 verified wrench attacks in 2025, a 75% year-on-year increase. France led with 19 cases, while Europe accounted for about 40% of all incidents.
