Stablecoin issuer Circle faces lawsuit over $230M Drift Protocol hack

Circle Internet Group is facing a class action lawsuit led by a Drift Protocol investor claiming it failed to freeze funds stolen in a $280 million exploit of the protocol on April 1.

The lawsuit was filed by Drift investor Joshua McCollum on behalf of over 100 members in a US district court in Massachusetts on Wednesday, which accused Circle of allowing the attackers to transfer about $230 million worth of $USDC ($USDC) from Solana to Ethereum via Circle’s Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP) over several hours without intervention.

Three reasons why XRP price could bounce back to $1.60



$XRP price rose 6% to a three-week high of $1.42 on Thursday, becoming the strongest gainer among the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market cap.

According to data from crypto.news, $XRP ($XRP) price rallied to $1.42 on Thursday, April 16, with its market cap moving back above $87 billion and reclaiming the spot of being the 4th largest crypto asset in the market. The token still lies nearly 23% lower than where it began this year.

While hopes of de-escalation in the U.S. and Iran war have lifted the market sentiment, triggering a bounce across most crypto assets, $XRP price could specifically benefit from three catalysts over the coming sessions.

First, the most significant hurdle for $XRP has been regulatory ambiguity over its security status, a long-standing challenge that the CLARITY Act could solve. As such, the U.S. Senate Banking Committee is scheduled to mark up the bill for later this month.

The bill is important as if it clears this committee, it would formally codify $XRP as a digital commodity, moving it from permitted existence to protected legality. This would effectively remove the remaining litigation discount and provide a clear legal green light for major institutions to deploy capital.

Second, $XRP price stands to benefit from renewed institutional demand for the token while retail investors remain cautious.

Data from SoSoValue show that spot $XRP ETFs have recorded their fourth consecutive day of inflows for the first time since March, drawing in a combined $38.86 million within the period. This brings the combined assets under management for U.S. spot $XRP ETFs to over $1.25 billion.

Such steady accumulation from smart money often precedes a sharp move upwards when it absorbs the remaining supply of tokens held in exchanges, currently at multi-year lows.

Third, the toke

#US Senator Bernie Sanders advanced two joint resolutions to block a $500 million arms deal to Israel. Sanders expressed concerns over the war in Iran as the rift is widening at an alarming pace. The measures were to halt weapons and equipment from being sent to Israel to stop them from escalating the conflict further after the 14-day ceasefire ends.However, Bernie Sanders’ bid to stop the arms deal worth $500 million to Israel failed on Wednesday. Lawmakers in the upper chamber of the US Congress voted down his measures to prohibit the arms deal. The deal will now allow 12,000 bombs and armoured bulldozers to reach Israel’s Tel Aviv.Also Read: Elon Musk’s Father Says Both His Sons Own $1.6 Billion Worth of BitcoinBernie Sanders’s $500 Million Arms Deal to Israel Blocked: Doubts About the War Escalating RisesSource: MarketWatchThe development is now leading to doubts about whether the war will continue after the 14-day ceasefire. The disapproval of Bernie Sanders’ $500 million arms deal to Israel comes when the US and Iran are holding talks in Pakistan’s Islamabad. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said that Pakistan is the “only mediator” for the discussions.Bernie Sanders and other Democratic leaders argued that Trump’s role in the Iran war is illegal, and so is the $500 million arms deal to Israel. “If we want to rein in a Trump administration that launched an illegal war against Iran, we should also rein in the Netanyahu administration that’s doing exactly the same thing with American taxpayer dollars,” said Senator Chris Van Hollen, Democrat of Maryland.Senator Bernie Sanders stressed that Israel’s President Benjamin Netanyahu will continue the war with the $500 million arms deal. “For Netanyahu, Gaza was not enough,” he said on the Senate floor. “Attacking Iran was not enough. Netanyahu is now waging a full-blown war of expansion against Lebanon.” He warned that continued weapons supply going unchallenged will only lead to a severe global fallout.

Japan's Institutional Crypto Sentiment Hits New Highs in 2026



Nomura Holdings and its digital asset subsidiary Laser Digital have published their 2026 Institutional Investor Survey on Digital Asset Investment Trends, revealing a measurable shift in how Japanese institutional investors view crypto assets.

—

The survey, released on April 16, captures responses from 518 investment professionals across institutional investors, family offices, and public-interest organizations in Japan.

The findings point to growing confidence in digital assets as a legitimate portfolio component, with sentiment improving across nearly every metric compared to the previous survey conducted in June 2024.

Positive Sentiment on the Rise

31% of respondents described their outlook on crypto assets over the next year as positive — up 6 percentage points from 25% in the 2024 survey. At the same time, the share of respondents holding a negative view fell to 18%, down 5 points from 23%. The remaining 51% maintained a neutral stance.

The survey also found a strong correlation between knowledge and optimism: 58% of respondents who self-identified as having high crypto knowledge held a positive view, suggesting that deeper familiarity with the asset class tends to improve perception.

Diversification Remains the Top Driver

65% of respondents said they view crypto assets as an opportunity to diversify their portfolios alongside traditional holdings like cash, stocks, bonds, and commodities — up 3 percentage points from 62% in 2024.

Diversification was cited as the primary reason for planned crypto investment, with respondents also highlighting crypto's low correlation with other asset classes.

Among those considering investing in crypto over the next three years, 79% said they have concrete plans to invest. Of these, 60% expect to allocate bet

NEXO Price Eyes $1 Breakout as Taker Buys Surge



$NEXO, the native ERC-20 token of Nexo platform , shows a short uptick of 0.23% during Thursday’s U.S. market hours to trade at $0.09. The surge aligns with broader market recovery as recent talks on U.S. and Iran potential extended the ceasefire agreement has renewed risk-on sentiment among investors. However, the Nexo price gained additional momentum as on-chain data shows a notable surge in $NEXO-related taker buy volume, reinforcing the asset’s potential for extended recovery.

$NEXO Sees Buyer Surge as Taker Buys Flip Bullish

Nexo’s exchange trading activity has flipped in recent days, with on-chain records from CryptoQuant showing a clear pickup in aggressive buyer orders after months dominated by sellers. The green bars on the metrics illustrating the taker buys are a sign of rising demand to the platform attributable to a combination of large holders, institutions, and ordinary traders.

Taker buys represent market orders that strike the sell side instantly, meaning that buyers are not procrastinating to take up positions at current prices. This turn is a break in the previous trend of heavy taker sales, which heralds new urgency among the participants hoarding the token.

Nexo has constructed its user base on a fundamental proposal; instant lines of borrowing on the basis of crypto collateral. Account holders are able to store US dollars, euros, or stablecoins, but they still maintain full ownership of their digital assets. The technique allows investors to access liquidity to spend or take up other opportunities without selling the asset taxably, a benefit that is often mentioned in capital gains regulations markets.


This attraction of the mechanism is already manifested in trading data, as there are increasingly more participants who seem to be placing their bets on the token and the le

Schwab launches direct crypto trading in coming weeks to 39 million customers



Charles Schwab announced this week it will begin offering direct cryptocurrency trading to everyday investors in the coming weeks, allowing customers to buy and sell bitcoin and ethereum alongside their traditional investments.

The new service, called Schwab Crypto, will charge 75 basis points on the dollar value of each trade, positioning itself among the lowest-cost options in the industry. Customers will be able to view and manage their digital assets next to stocks and bonds across Schwab’s website, mobile app, and thinkorswim trading platform.

“We know our clients want to conduct more of their financial lives at Schwab,” said Jonathan Craig, Head of Retail Investing at Charles Schwab. “With Schwab Crypto, clients who want direct access to the asset class can trade it alongside their other investments, while benefiting from the service, education, and research they expect from us.”

The brokerage surveyed nearly 500 current and prospective cryptocurrency investors between July 31 and September 1, 2025. Respondents identified three key factors when choosing where to trade digital assets: low and transparent pricing, brand familiarity and reputation, and confidence that their holdings would remain secure.

Schwab will start with bitcoin and ethereum, which together represent approximately three-quarters of the cryptocurrency market value. The firm plans to add more digital currencies over time and will eventually allow customers to transfer crypto they already own into their Schwab accounts.

Charles Schwab Premier Bank will serve as custodian, responsible for safekeeping and record-keeping of customer assets. Paxos, a blockchain infrastructure provider regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, will handle sub-custody and trade execution behind the
