Введение

The latest number of BTC addresses shows that the number of addresses with more than 1000 BTCs is still stable.

1. Market trend: the main currency is stable, and BTC is temporarily supported,

The latest number of BTC addresses shows that the number of addresses with more than 1000 BTCs is still stable. The value on April 13 remained at 2248, indicating that the main force of a large number of currency holders is still stable, indicating that the short-term correction of BTC price may be oversold. After the sharp increase in the number of giant whale addresses on February 28, there is little room for callback, which means that the selling volume of main investors is within a limited range, and low suction opportunities can be paid attention to in the short term.

In terms of price, BTC hit the off track of brin line after continuous withdrawal, and the technical rebound has lasted for three trading days. From the closing price point of view, the current short-term low rebounded continuously after January 22. The bottom of BTC has increased to US $39530 on April 11, maintaining a further upward trend.

At present, the disadvantage to the market is that the number of active addresses and trading volume of BTC are flat, and the strong price signal has not been further verified. Therefore, it is still necessary to maintain a medium and low level in the number of coins.

2. Interpretation of investor sentiment:

The panic index of BTC trading was sluggish, reaching 25 and 28 on April 13 and April 14. The panic was more serious.

At present, while the trading volume of BTC is running at a low level, the volatility also decreases during the price retreat. In terms of market conditions, BTC trading performance has been at a low level since 2022, and there are few opportunities for upward strong changes.

3. Dragon and tiger list:

During the short-term rebound of mainstream currencies led by BTC, most sectors showed upward performance. Among the increase list, the top one is the defi concept comp, with a 24-hour increase of 17.4%. For similar currencies, Rune rose 17.1% in 24 hours and SNx rose 13.3% in the short term, also ranking top in the ranking. Other currencies with higher growth were distributed in different sectors, with BCH, CHZ and BTT rising higher.

COMP

Recently, what has a great impact on comp price is the transformation of its economic model.

In 2020, compound innovatively launched the liquidity mining plan. But now, in order to solve the problem that liquidity incentives attract "speculative" liquidity, comp's incentives are expected to continue to change.

For example, comp will completely reduce the incentive to zero on April 15; Further improve the interest rate model in order to balance the interests of both borrowers and lenders. Finally, an alternative incentive plan will be introduced.

From the change of the number of locked positions of comp, the number of locked positions on April 14 was US $6.38 billion, and the quantitative performance is still relatively low. Therefore, the short-term price rise is driven by sentiment, and trading investors can pay attention to the progress of project incentives.

Rune

Rune price rebounded in the short term. Due to the amplification of the trading volume in the early stage by more than three times, the short-term price activity remained high. Rune has two ecological concepts of atom and Luna, and the price performance can continue to be concerned in the short term.

One development that inspires the rune community is the integration of Terra (LUNA) into the thorchain protocol. This integration also enables the platform to support all cosmos based projects. Terra integration brings Luna tokens and terrausd (UST) stable coins into the thorchain ecosystem and provides users with more trading and pledge options.

Affected by this, we can continue to pay attention to the ecological development of Rune and its driving effect on prices.

SNX

Synthetix aims to build decentralized and untrusted networks. The synthetix network token (SNx) token supports a variety of comprehensive assets, including legal tender linked to the US dollar, precious metals, indexes and even other cryptocurrencies.

In terms of data, the fees paid by SNx to pledgers continue to rise, which may be a strong evidence to promote the rise of SNx prices.

At the same time, we should also pay attention to the negative side of the news, which can not be ignored.

Grayscale removed synthetix (SNx) and sushiswap (sushi) tokens from its defi fund as part of the rebalancing in the first quarter of this year. SNx and sushi failed to meet the required minimum market value. No other cryptocurrencies were eliminated throughout the rebalancing process.

Decline list

Most of the currencies with the highest decline are concept currencies, with Shib and Doge ranking first and third in decline. In the short term, we need to pay attention to the adjustment expectations of these currencies.

Single-Day Plunge of 30%, Arthur Hayes Suddenly Liquidates: Why Did ZEC Get Exploded by Security Issues?

On June 5th, Zcash founder Zooko Wilcox disclosed a critical soundness vulnerability in the project's latest Orchard privacy pool. This flaw, found in the elliptic curve multiplication constraints, could allow an attacker to create unlimited counterfeit ZEC within the shielded pool, with transactions appearing valid. The vulnerability was discovered in late May by security researcher Taylor Hornby, who utilized Anthropic's new Opus 4.8 AI model for a targeted audit. The Zcash ecosystem had already performed an emergency network upgrade to patch the issue. However, the detailed disclosure triggered severe market panic, causing ZEC's price to plummet over 30% in a single day. Notably, prominent investor Arthur Hayes announced he had sold his entire ZEC position following the news. The incident starkly challenges the "technological trust" narrative central to privacy coins. Despite years of top-tier cryptographic audits, the bug persisted until uncovered with advanced AI-assisted research. This highlights the growing gap between theoretical perfection and practical implementation in privacy technology. The event serves as a industry-wide warning: in an AI-driven security landscape, the assumption that "undiscovered equals safe" is obsolete. It underscores the urgent need for continuous, proactive security practices combining AI audits, formal verification, and rapid response mechanisms.

Breaking the Curse of DeFi Cascading Liquidations, Vitalik Proposes a New Solution

**Vitalik Buterin Proposes New DeFi Design to Eliminate Forced Liquidations** Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has published a proposal for a new decentralized finance (DeFi) architecture aimed at removing the automatic liquidation mechanisms prevalent in current lending protocols. The core idea involves creating synthetic assets using options as building blocks, fundamentally avoiding the抵押借贷结构 that triggers forced sell-offs. The proposal responds to a recurring flaw in DeFi: during sharp market downturns, mass自动清算 of under-collateralized positions can exacerbate price declines, creating systemic selling pressure and market instability, as evidenced by recent crypto market volatility. Buterin's model would split an asset like 1 ETH into two option-like derivatives, P and N, pegged to a price index with a set strike price and expiration. At expiry, an oracle determines the settlement price to allocate the underlying ETH between P and N holders. This design eliminates the "cliff" of instant liquidation. Instead, a position's value would gradually drift from its target peg if not actively rebalanced by the user, transferring the rebalancing decision from the protocol to the user or automated tools. A key advantage is the reduced reliance on high-frequency, real-time oracle price feeds, which are vulnerable to manipulation and errors in current systems. The delayed settlement in the options model allows for more robust, fault-tolerant oracle designs. However, significant challenges remain for practical adoption. High transaction costs (slippage) from frequent rebalancing on automated market makers (AMMs) could erode user funds. The model may not be suitable for stablecoins requiring a strict 1:1 dollar peg, as it inherently allows for value drift. Success would depend on developing new liquidity provisioning models and deep markets for these synthetic assets. The proposal represents a fundamental rethinking of DeFi risk management, challenging the industry to explore alternatives to被动集中平仓 rather than merely optimizing existing liquidation processes. It remains a theoretical framework awaiting implementation and testing by development teams.

Bitcoin's Decline Marks the Transformation of Crypto

Title: The Decline of Bitcoin Marks the Transformation of Crypto While Bitcoin's price recently fell below $70,000, down approximately 45% from its peak, the broader crypto industry is not following it into decline. Instead, crypto is maturing and evolving beyond its dependence on Bitcoin's price movements. Two of Bitcoin's core functions are being usurped. First, AI has captured its role as the primary speculative asset. AI, with its tangible revenue, explosive demand, and massive capital inflows ($700-830 billion in 2024), is siphoning off the speculative "hot money" that once drove Bitcoin. It also contributes to a sustained high-interest-rate environment, further tightening liquidity for assets like Bitcoin. Second, dollar-pegged stablecoins like USDC and USDT have replaced Bitcoin as the crypto market's foundational currency and primary on/off-ramp. Most trading pairs and on-chain transactions are now settled in stablecoins, severing the historical link where all capital inflows had to pass through Bitcoin first. This decoupling allows projects to thrive based on their own fundamentals rather than Bitcoin's price. Examples include Hyperliquid, an on-chain derivatives exchange with annual revenues of $8-13 billion, and prediction market platform Polymarket, valued at $200 billion with $3.65 billion in annual fees. These projects are evaluated on traditional metrics like revenue and user growth. New opportunities are emerging, particularly around privacy. Privacy coins like Zcash (ZEC) are seeing surging demand, while infrastructure like NEAR enables private, cross-chain asset transfers without requiring users to hold a specific token—privacy becomes a universal service layer. In this new paradigm, stablecoins are the universal cash, various project tokens represent equity, and privacy-enabled cross-chain coordination layers (like NEAR) act as the critical infrastructure connecting a fragmented, multi-chain ecosystem. Bitcoin is now just one asset among many. The era where the entire crypto market moved in lockstep with Bitcoin is over. The industry's health should now be judged by project fundamentals—real revenue, active users, and tokenomics that capture value—and the development of the underlying infrastructure enabling a mature, dollar-denominated crypto economy.

Lightspark CEO: In Ten Years, Bitcoin Will Be as Invisible as TCP/IP, Yet Power Trillions in Daily Transactions

A decade from now, Bitcoin will function like TCP/IP — invisible yet foundational, supporting trillions in daily transactions globally, according to Lightspark CEO David Marcus. In this future, a coffee shop in Lagos receives instant payment, a manufacturer in São Paulo settles an invoice with a supplier in Ho Chi Minh City, and a freelancer in Bangalore gets paid weekly from an Austin startup — all via Bitcoin's settlement layer, with none of the parties consciously interacting with it. This vision parallels the adoption of open protocols: first driven by necessity where existing systems fail, then scaling rapidly as tools mature and economic benefits become clear. The structural shift begins with wallets. Modern non-custodial wallets, like Spark, allow users to hold dollars, local currency, and Bitcoin in a single address, seamlessly switching between them. This eliminates friction and revolutionizes global custody, moving significant deposits to user-controlled keys not by ideology, but by superior utility. As a result, Bitcoin becomes the default savings layer for billions, as its fixed supply and appreciating value make it a rational choice for savers holding it alongside stablecoins in their everyday wallets. Businesses follow a similar path, from small companies in emerging markets to multinational corporations, holding Bitcoin alongside operational stablecoins. The latest trend is direct Bitcoin transactions for commerce. When both parties hold Bitcoin, transacting in it becomes the simplest option — no conversions, no intermediary currency. This starts in niche areas like high-value B2B settlements but grows as infrastructure makes sending Bitcoin as easy as stablecoins. An accelerating force is AI agents. By 2036, AI agents conducting commerce on behalf of individuals and firms will increasingly choose Bitcoin for settlement. Optimizing for speed, finality, and minimal counterparty risk across jurisdictions, they find Bitcoin's global, neutral, and programmable network ideal for netting and settling obligations. Thus, Bitcoin is becoming the native currency for machine commerce, just as it has become a native savings asset for humans. The global monetary system is being rebuilt from the protocol layer: open infrastructure, default self-custody, Bitcoin settling everything underneath, with stablecoins as the interface. Most users won't think about Bitcoin when they transact — and they won't need to.
