Dogecoin – Analyzing the effect of profit-taking on DOGE’s latest rally attempts

Dogecoin (DOGE) has struggled to sustain its mid-March rally, remaining range-bound since late February. This consolidation phase follows a downtrend from October, with further lows possible depending on Bitcoin and market conditions. On-chain data shows a decline in new address growth, similar to the 2024 downtrend, indicating potential for new price lows. Active addresses and transaction volumes spiked in mid-March as DOGE approached $0.104, reflecting profit-taking behavior. The 3-month mean coin age has been falling, indicating selling by short-term holders, while the 1-year mean coin age is rising, suggesting accumulation by long-term holders. However, this accumulation may not be sufficient for a significant rally beyond $0.104, as short-term holders are likely to sell into any price bounce.

Bithumb Seeks Legal Action To Recover Unreturned Bitcoin From $40B Payout Error

Crypto exchange Bithumb is pursuing legal action to freeze and recover approximately 7 Bitcoin (worth nearly $500,000) that were not returned after a major payout error in February. The incident occurred when Bithumb accidentally distributed 620,000 Bitcoin (valued at over $40 billion) to 249 users due to a "fat-finger" mistake. Although the exchange recovered 99.7% of the funds, a small portion was sold or converted by users. Under South Korean law, such mistaken payments are considered unjust enrichment and must be returned. The error also prompted regulatory scrutiny, leading to stricter asset-matching requirements for domestic crypto exchanges and a preliminary six-month business suspension notice for Bithumb over AML and KYC violations.

Ondo Perps: Bringing Wall Street Prime Brokerage On-Chain?

Ondo Perps aims to bring traditional prime brokerage services on-chain by addressing key limitations in existing DeFi and tokenized stock markets. While crypto-native assets like BTC and ETH have mature derivatives markets, real-world assets (RWA), such as stocks, struggle due to structural flaws: over-reliance on stablecoin collateral, isolated liquidity pools, and inefficient capital utilization. Ondo introduces three innovations: allowing tokenized stocks as direct collateral, implementing cross-asset margin systems similar to traditional portfolio margining, and leveraging off-chain liquidity from traditional exchanges like Nasdaq/NYSE instead of building fragmented on-chain markets. This transforms stocks from static assets into active collateral, improves capital efficiency, and enables unified risk management across asset classes. The platform essentially functions as a multi-asset financial account system, blending decentralized and traditional finance. If successful, it could redefine asset boundaries, enhance institutional participation, and create a more integrated financial ecosystem. However, risks remain around liquidity reliability, complex cross-asset清算, and regulatory uncertainty for tokenized securities. The core question Ondo raises is whether traditional distinctions between "money" and "assets" remain relevant when diverse assets can mutually collateralize and interact in a unified market.

Domestic AI Booms: Zhipu's Market Cap Surpasses 430 Billion HKD, Mysterious Model Tops Text-to-Video Ranking

China's AI sector is experiencing a significant surge, with Zhipu AI's market capitalization exceeding HK$430 billion and a new model, HappyHorse-1.0, topping the text-to-video generation rankings. On April 9, Hong Kong and A-share AI stocks rallied strongly. Zhipu's shares rose 8.74%, and Xunce Technology surged over 24%. The A-share market saw similar gains, with the China Merchants AI ETF rising over 10%. The rally was fueled by two major catalysts. First, the anonymous model HappyHorse-1.0 topped the Artificial Analysis Video Arena leaderboard, surpassing ByteDance's Seedance 2.0. It generates synchronized video and audio from text in about 38 seconds. Second, Zhipu released its flagship model, GLM-5.1, which can autonomously perform complex software engineering tasks for 8 hours without human intervention. Notably, it was trained entirely on Huawei's Ascend 910B processors, a milestone for China's AI self-sufficiency. Industry experts note the rapid iteration of AI models, with new breakthroughs frequently appearing. While some market hype, the technical capabilities of these models are noteworthy. Zhipu also increased its API prices by 10%, signaling a shift from a growth-at-all-costs model to a focus on sustainable profitability and value creation. The industry is moving from a "technology race" to a "value co-creation" phase, entering an early stage of "order fulfillment and profit release." Paid services for top-tier models are in high demand, indicating the market is moving past the free user acquisition phase.

WLFI's $75 Million Lending Game: Dolomite Depositors Deeply Trapped

Author: ChandlerZ, Foresight News. On April 9, CoinDesk reported that World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a crypto project co-founded by the Trump family, conducted multiple collateralized loans through the DeFi lending protocol Dolomite, raising market concerns about insider relationships, circular financing, and liquidity risks. WLFI used approximately 5 billion WLFI tokens as collateral on Dolomite to borrow around $75 million in stablecoins, with over $40 million transferred to Coinbase Prime, likely for fiat conversion or OTC trading. Between February and April, WLFI executed a series of transactions, including depositing its own stablecoin (USD1) and WLFI tokens into Dolomite to borrow funds, and directly sending USD1 to Coinbase. Dolomite’s co-founder, Corey Caplan, is also an advisor to WLFI, and WLFI’s lending platform is built on Dolomite, indicating potential conflicts of interest. WLFI now accounts for about 55% of Dolomite’s total supplied liquidity. The USD1 pool has a 93% utilization rate, leaving limited liquidity for other depositors. If WLFI’s token price drops significantly, forced liquidations could cause severe losses for ordinary users. This incident follows previous controversies, including a $500 million investment deal linked to an Abu Dhabi royal, sanctions-related associations, and a prior USD1 depegging event. WLFI responded that there is no liquidation risk and emphasized its business growth, but questions about governance and risk management remain unanswered.

Bitcoin Figure Adam Back Denies Being Satoshi Nakamoto

Adam Back, a prominent cryptographer, has denied being Bitcoin's pseudonymous creator Satoshi Nakamoto following a New York Times investigation that identified him as the leading candidate. The investigation, led by journalist John Carreyrou, analyzed over 134,000 posts from cryptography mailing lists and found Back's writing style—including specific hyphenation quirks, British spellings, and formatting habits—closely matched Satoshi's. A key piece of evidence was a 2023 tweet where Back wrote "We Are All Satoshi," which he clarified was merely a reference to a short film and not a hidden admission. Back dismissed the findings, arguing that his extensive public participation in digital cash discussions naturally produced more data points for analysis. He emphasized that he does not know Satoshi's identity and stated that Bitcoin benefits from having no known founder, as it reinforces its status as a decentralized asset.

Cango sells 2,000 BTC in ‘strategic deleveraging’ as Bitcoin miners pivot to AI

Cango, a publicly traded Bitcoin mining company, has sold 2,000 BTC in a strategic move to pay off its BTC-backed loans and reduce debt. The firm raised $75 million from the sale, with some funds allocated to support its diversification into energy and AI infrastructure. This pivot is part of a broader trend among major miners, including Marathon Digital and Core Scientific, who are repurposing their computing resources towards AI ventures. As a result, Bitcoin's global hashrate has declined by 17.4%, potentially lowering network security but creating opportunities for smaller miners to benefit from reduced competition and lower production costs. Despite improving its own mining efficiency, Cango remains vulnerable if Bitcoin's price falls below its production cost of $68.2K.

MakerDAO Transforms and Receives B- Credit Rating, Same Level as Congo Government Bonds

MakerDAO, the decentralized finance lending protocol, and its subDAO Spark are undertaking measures to improve their credit rating in a bid to attract institutional capital. In August, S&P Global Ratings assigned a B- rating to MakerDAO’s USDS and DAI stablecoins, placing them in the "junk bond" category, equivalent to the government bonds of the Democratic Republic of Congo. To enhance its standing, the protocol plans to repackage debt backing USDS, isolate exposure to high-risk yield sources, and introduce junior capital vaults. These structural changes aim to align with traditional finance expectations and mitigate concerns over riskier assets like Ethena’s USDe, which previously received a high-risk weighting from S&P. Spark intends to launch first-loss capital vaults in Q2, offering higher risk but greater returns, similar to junior tranches in traditional structured finance. The move reflects a broader trend among DeFi protocols seeking credibility through ratings from established agencies like S&P, Moody’s, and Fitch, as well as emerging crypto-native firms like Credora. Improving credit ratings is increasingly critical as DeFi aims to capture capital from traditional financial institutions entering the blockchain space.

Treasuries and yield funds – Is this the next phase of tokenization?

Tokenized finance is experiencing significant growth, with BNB Chain's tokenized asset market cap reaching a record $16.6 billion, more than doubling year-over-year. The broader tokenized funds market has expanded to $31.9 billion, driven primarily by yield-bearing products rather than simple stablecoins. While Tether and USDC remain the largest issuers, faster growth is occurring among smaller players like Ondo Finance, Maple Finance, and Centrifuge. The trend highlights a shift beyond cash proxies toward income-generating on-chain assets, signaling a new phase in asset tokenization.

Node Count Drops 70%, This Time Solana Is in a Hurry

Solana's validator count has dropped by 70% from its peak of 2,560 in March 2023 to around 756, accompanied by a 35% decrease in its Nakamoto coefficient, indicating increased centralization. This decline is largely due to the phasing out of the Solana Foundation Delegation Program (SFDP), which previously subsidized smaller validators. Many of these validators were economically unviable without support, controlling only 19% of the total stake, while larger nodes held over 80%. In response, Solana is implementing a new validator policy effective May 1, focusing on infrastructure decentralization. The policy imposes limits: no single Autonomous System Number (ASN) can host more than 25% of staked SOL, and no single data center can exceed 15%. It also enforces stricter performance rules, including faster transaction processing and anti-censorship measures, to improve network reliability and security. Critics, like node operator Chainflow, argue that the rules may unfairly penalize competent smaller validators based on their hosting location rather than performance, potentially forcing them into less reliable infrastructure and accelerating their decline. Amid ambitions to become a "Nasdaq on-chain" for global capital markets, Solana trails Ethereum and BNB Chain in real-world asset (RWA) value but leads in user activity. The network's upgrades aim to enhance stability and reduce finality times, competing with Ethereum's efforts to scale and decentralize further. The success of Solana's new policies is crucial for gaining institutional trust and competing effectively in the evolving blockchain landscape.
