Michael Saylor said Bitcoin no longer follows the traditional four-year cycle tied to halving events. He said the market has moved into a new phase where capital flows and credit now shape price direction. Summary Michael Saylor said Bitcoin no longer follows the four-year halving cycle seen in prior markets. He said capital flows, bank credit, and institutional adoption now drive Bitcoin’s long-term price path. Adam Livingston said MicroStrategy built a lead that rivals may struggle to match in Bitcoin. Michael Saylor said the old pattern linked to Bitcoin halving events is no longer the main market driver. He stated that the traditional four-year cycle is “dead” as Bitcoin takes on a different role in global finance. For years, many traders linked Bitcoin’s price moves to halving events that cut miner rewards. Those events were widely seen as a major reason for recurring boom-and-bust phases in the market. Saylor now argues that this structure no longer defines Bitcoin’s path.

He wrote that “price is now driven by capital flows” and added that bank and digital credit will shape Bitcoin’s growth path. That view shifts focus away from supply shock alone. It places more attention on broader financial access, including how banks, funds, and large firms use Bitcoin as part of treasury and reserve strategies. Saylor’s remarks came as large firms continue to build products and services around Bitcoin. That trend has changed how many market participants view the asset, especially as regulated access has expanded through financial platforms. He said Bitcoin has changed its place on the world stage. In his view, adoption by traditional finance n

Record-low retail demand, $18B ETF flows: Is Bitcoin near a supercycle?

Retail on the sidelines while memecoin metrics diverge, signaling a possible institutional inflection in the market.

Retail activity is often the clearest gauge of the market’s current mood. 

When we see high retail participation, it points to a risk-on environment, where traders are taking positions, dip buying picks up, and overall conviction remains strong, often signaling a local bottom in a crypto asset. 

Conversely, when retail activity drops, it tends to reflect a risk-off market, where participants are cautious and less willing to chase opportunities. Looking at on-chain data reinforces this point: Bitcoin’s [BTC] “shrimp” inflows (addresses holding less than 1 BTC) have fallen to record lows, highlighting just how subdued retail engagement has become.
From a technical perspective, this underscores the lack of dip-buying momentum from smaller investors. Psychologically, these record-low inflows highlight the low risk appetite and reinforce the fear in the market. Put together, it’s clear why BTC’s $65k as a local bottom still feels a bit too ambitious for now.

However, this isn’t the only divergence in play this cycle. The memecoin space is staying mostly quiet too. The gap between new token launches and active traders is at an all-time high. Take Solana [SOL] as an example: At its mid-2025 peak, it had over 30 million active wallets, and now that number has fallen below 5 million, showing just how much engagement has dried up.

Historically, rotations into memecoins during risk-off periods have helped keep capital moving within the crypto market. Right now, with both low Bitcoin retail inflows and minimal memecoin activity, the market clearly remains cautious and far from a full risk-on environment.

According to CCTV international News, Iran's Tasnim News Agency released photos of the downed US military aircraft involved in the rescue operation on social media platforms today (April 5). On the same day, Iranian state television also released a video of the downed US military aircraft on its social media account.

A spokesperson for the Hatem Anbia Central Command of the Iranian Armed Forces stated on the 5th that, in a "timely and coordinated" joint operation by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the Iranian army, the Basij militia, and law enforcement forces, enemy aircraft that had intruded into the southern region of Isfahan, including two Black Hawk helicopters and a C-130 military transport plane, were hit. The spokesperson stated that this showed that the US attempt to rescue its downed pilot had "failed."

On the same day, the New York Times reported that the missing US pilot had been rescued and transported to Kuwait for medical treatment. During the rescue operation, the US military destroyed two "stranded" US transport planes that were carrying out the rescue mission.

This morning (April 5th) local time, the Israel Defense Forces detected a new ballistic missile attack launched by Iran towards northern Israel. The IDF stated that the missiles were intercepted and no casualties were reported. This is the third attack today and the first in nearly six hours.

The GENIUS Act continues to shape the U.S. stablecoin landscape, focusing on creating a clear, consistent regulatory framework for issuers and users alike. By mandating that all payment stablecoins be fully backed by U.S. dollars or equivalent low-risk assets, the act is designed to maintain trust and prevent liquidity crises in the digital asset market.
HTX content creator Fama noted that regulatory certainty is critical for attracting institutional investors. Without clear federal rules, many large-scale financial firms have remained cautious about entering the crypto space. The GENIUS Act removes much of this uncertainty, providing a roadmap for both new and existing projects.
A key development under the act is the differentiation between large-scale stablecoin issuers (over $10 billion in supply) and smaller issuers. Large issuers will face direct federal oversight, while smaller ones may operate under state-level regulations that meet federal equivalence standards. This tiered approach balances flexibility with safety, ensuring that market stability is not compromised.
HTX content creator Fama emphasized mid-post that the law also addresses compliance standards, reporting requirements, and reserve transparency. These provisions aim to protect consumers and investors while fostering innovation in digital payments.
In addition, regulators are actively seeking public comment on proposed rules, inviting feedback from industry participants. This collaborative approach ensures that the final framework reflects both legal rigor and practical considerations for the rapidly evolving stablecoin market.
Market Impact: Short-term: cautious volatility; Mid-term: growing confidence; Long-term: stablecoin adoption surge.

Robert Kiyosaki said current economic pressure reflects changes that began in the 1970s.  Summary Kiyosaki said 1974 policy shifts still shape debt, inflation, retirement pressure, and demand for Bitcoin. He warned baby boomers may face retirement income gaps as pensions gave way to market-based accounts. Santiment data showed Bitcoin bearish sentiment rose, while contrarian traders watched fear levels for reversal signs. Robert Kiyosaki said 1974 marked a major shift in how money and retirement worked in the United States. In a post on X, he wrote that “the future created in 1974 has arrived” and tied today’s financial stress to policy changes from that period. You might also like: Is Bitcoin about to break out as Trump-Iran tensions rise? He connected that year to the petrodollar system and to changes in retirement planning. Kiyosaki said those changes helped shape the debt and inflation concerns now facing households and investors. Retirement concerns remain part of his warning Kiyosaki also referred to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act and the wider move away from pension structures that paid workers for life. He said many workers now depend on market-based retirement accounts instead of guaranteed income after leaving work. He warned that this shift placed more responsibility on individuals. In the same post, he wrote that “millions of baby-boomers will soon find out they have no income once they stop working,” linking that concern to long-term pressure on retirement security. In addition, Kiyosaki repeated his long-running support for gold, silver, and Bitcoin. He described those assets as “real money” and said people should focus on financial education while looking at alternative stores of value. His latest remarks follow similar warnings from recent months. Last month, he said a major financial “bubble burst” could send capital into scarce asset

'You'll Be Rugged Anyway': Adam Back Rejects Freezing 4 Million Lost Bitcoin Despite Quantum Threat



In the crypto community, a heated discussion continues about the future of Bitcoin security after Google announced a significant breakthrough in quantum computing this week, which has worsened forecasts for the security of the Bitcoin network and brought closer expectations of the so-called Q-Day — the day when a quantum computer will be able to break Bitcoin keys.

The current debate has involved Adam Back, the CEO of Blockstream, and well-known analyst Willy Woo regarding the fate of 4 million inactive $BTC, which may become vulnerable with the arrival of Q-Day.

Save them or let them be stolen?

At the moment, demonstrators operate with two logical qubits on a single physical architecture. However, according to Back, the real breaking of Bitcoin cryptography still lacks four to six orders of magnitude in power.

Willy Woo, despite the technological gap, emphasizes that a cloud of uncertainty hangs over the market. The issue concerns approximately 4 million $BTC on old addresses whose owners lost their keys or passed away. If a quantum computer can brute-force access to these wallets, these coins could suddenly return to the market, creating massive movement and pressure on the Bitcoin price.

Thus, according to Woo, Bitcoin faces an existential choice:

Freeze coins and programmatically prohibit movement of funds from old vulnerable wallets, which, however, means changing fundamental monetary policy and interfering with property rights, directly contradicting the core principles on which Bitcoin was created 17 years ago.

Leave everything as it is and allow quantum hackers to steal the coins, which would obviously lead to a massive price collapse.
