Trading volume on crypto exchanges in India has taken a large hit of more than 70% since the start of the 1% TDS rule.
Crypto Trading Volumes On WazirX, ZebPay, And CoinDCX Decline 70% Or More
As reported by The Economic Times, following the start of the 1% TDS rule, exchange trading volumes in India have plunged down.
TDS here stands for “tax deducted at source.” The 1% TDS rule that went live on the 1st of July requires the sender of any type of crypto transaction in India, to pay 1% of the total amount as tax.
This is part of a series of controversial digital asset regulation laws that were passed in the country earlier in the year.
Back in April, a law stating that 30% of the income coming out of crypto transactions has to be paid as tax went live. Then, the trading volumes on the major Indian crypto exchanges reacted with a decline of around 40-80%. By the 12th of that month, the volume on the exchanges had already reached a six-month low.
Now, the TDS rule going online has meant that the trading volume has seen a drop of more than 70% on many exchanges between 30th June and 3rd July.
The Binance-owned WazirX, one of the most popular exchanges in the country, saw a sharp plunge of around 82%. CoinDCX observed an almost 70% decline, while ZebPay saw a drawdown of about 76%.
WazirX vice president Rajagopal Menon argues, however, that it is still premature to predict the effects of the rule, and that things will be better understood by the 2nd week of this month.
Menon adds, “there has been a fall in trading across the industry as investors shift to hold and there may be another dip as traders see their capital getting locked while trading on KYC-compliant Indian exchanges.”
According to The Economic Times, some industry insiders expect the trading volume to continue to decline due to the current bear market environment.

World Models Shift from Prediction to Planning: HWM and the Challenge of Long-Horizon Control

World models have evolved from focusing on representation learning and future prediction to addressing long-horizon planning challenges. While models like V-JEPA 2 demonstrate strong predictive capabilities using large-scale video pre-training, they struggle with multi-stage control tasks due to error accumulation and exponential growth in action search space. HWM (Hierarchical World Model) introduces a two-level planning structure: a high-level planner outlines coarse subgoals over longer time horizons, while a low-level executor handles short-term actions. This decomposition reduces planning complexity and error propagation. In experiments, HWM achieved 70% success in real-world robotic tasks where flat models failed entirely. Complementary efforts include V-JEPA (focused on representation), HWM (on hierarchical planning), and WAV (World Action Verifier, on self-correction). Together, they mark a shift from pure world modeling to integrated systems capable of prediction, planning, and verification—key to deploying world models in real-world agents and long-term tasks.

BIT Research: Five Signals Flash Simultaneously, Has the Bitcoin Bear Market Ended?

According to a BIT research report, multiple independent technical indicators are signaling that the Bitcoin bear market, which began in October 2025, may be nearing its end or has already concluded. Unlike the prolonged 2022 bear market, the current cycle shows structural changes due to the introduction of spot Bitcoin ETFs and reduced regulatory uncertainty, limiting excessive downside volatility. Key technical signals include: the weekly stochastic oscillator rising above 20 (historically a bottoming signal), price approaching the critical 21-week moving average (~$77,592), and the monthly RSI potentially moving above its average. Additionally, Bitcoin is testing the key resistance zone of $66,000–$73,000. A decisive break above $73,084 (the March 2024 high) would confirm a trend reversal. The convergence of these five signals—rather than any single indicator—increases confidence that the market is transitioning from a downtrend to a bottoming phase. The focus now shifts to whether price can sustain a breakout, potentially targeting $88,000 or higher, with $64,972 acting as crucial support. The report emphasizes that while trends are improving, investors should remain cautious and consult professionals, as digital asset trading carries significant risk.

Bitcoin Created By The CIA? Chinese Professor Jiang Xueqin Makes Bold Claim

Chinese-Canadian educator Jiang Xueqin claimed Bitcoin was likely created by U.S. intelligence agencies like the CIA or NSA, rather than the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto. He argued that only state-level actors would have the resources and motive to develop such technology, suggesting Bitcoin serves purposes like surveillance and covert financing. He also questioned early large investments, like those from the Winklevoss twins, as suspicious. The Bitcoin community strongly rejected these claims. Commentators like Ansel Lindner and Lyn Alden argued that Jiang fundamentally misunderstands Bitcoin’s decentralized, open-source nature. They emphasized that Bitcoin’s value lies in its transparency and distributed network, which operates independently of any central control, making its origins irrelevant. At the time of reporting, BTC was trading at $74,886.

Bitcoin Trading Strategy Breakdown: Celebrity Predictions and Classic Models All Fail, Only These Four Indicators Remain

Analysis of Bitcoin Trading Strategies: Why Celebrity Forecasts and Classic Models Fail, Leaving Only These Four Reliable Indicators This analysis examines the failure of common Bitcoin prediction methods and identifies four reliable indicators for constructing a trading strategy. The author reviewed all major BTC prediction approaches from 2017-2025, categorizing them into three groups: celebrity price targets (consistently over-optimistic), analytical models like Stock-to-Flow (broken post-2022), and on-chain signals. The key finding is that more data often creates confusion, not clarity. The strategy discards unreliable elements: celebrity predictions (incentivized to be extreme), pure models (invalidated by post-ETF market changes), and the Fear & Greed Index used alone (too many false signals). Four reliable indicators were selected: 1. **MVRV Z-Score:** Accurately identifies cycle bottoms when entering its green zone (e.g., 2018, 2020, 2022). Note: Its ability to call tops is now ineffective post-2024. 2. **SOPR (28-day MA):** Consistently signals bottoms when below 1.0, indicating holders are selling at a loss. 3. **ETF Net Flow:** A crucial post-2024 metric showing institutional momentum (e.g., sustained inflows = buying). 4. **Macro Liquidity (Fed policy & M2):** Sets the overall directional bias (e.g., bullish during easing cycles). The core strategy involves waiting for a multi-signal共振 (resonance). For example, a bottom signal requires MVRV in the green zone + SOPR < 1.0. A top signal requires overheated on-chain data + sustained ETF outflows. Macro policy sets the overall direction. The Fear & Greed Index is only used as a weighted confirmatory signal, never alone. Action is only taken when three or more indicators align. The author automated this into a monitoring system that sends Telegram alerts only when signals trigger. As of the article's date (April 15, 2026), the system showed a strong bottom signal: extreme fear (F&G=12), MVRV in the buy zone, and SOPR < 1.0. The only contrary signal was weak ETF flows. Historically, such triple on-chain共振 has preceded 100%+ returns. The conclusion emphasizes building a personal framework over relying on external predictions, allowing for iterative improvement and customization based on individual risk tolerance.
