Crypto treasuries regain footing after recent downturn: Grayscale

After a challenging period since late 2025, digital asset treasuries (DATs) are showing signs of recovery, according to Grayscale's head of research Zach Pandl. Companies have adopted strategies such as optimizing capital structures, generating income, and diversifying business models to navigate the crypto downturn. For instance, Strategy shifted from convertible bonds to preferred stocks and established a $2.25 billion USD reserve, while BitMine aims to generate $300 million annually by staking its Ethereum holdings. Other firms, like MARA, sold portions of their crypto assets to invest in AI. Although some companies, such as Nakamoto, faced significant stock declines, forced sell-offs were limited overall. DATs have been net accumulators in recent weeks, indicating a return to stability.

Technological Fantasy or "Career Killer"? Deep Reflection Under the Wave of AI Layoffs

Amid the rapid adoption of AI tools like OpenClaw, a wave of layoffs is sweeping across industries from North America to Asia. Major companies, including Meta and Crypto.com, are cutting jobs—up to 20% or more in some cases—not due to economic pressure but as part of a strategic shift toward AI-driven productivity. In Q1 2026 alone, over 20% of tech layoffs were attributed to AI and automation. Roles most affected include programmers, customer service reps, data entry clerks, and marketing specialists—jobs with high language or data-processing components. Even creative and industrial roles are at risk if they involve repetitive, template-based tasks. Industries like finance, media, and logistics are also experiencing disruption as AI automates standardized workflows. The report from Anthropic highlights that positions requiring low emotional intelligence, physical interaction, or complex decision-making remain safer. To stay relevant, workers must focus on skills AI can’t replicate: empathy, creative problem-solving, and strategic judgment. The key is not to resist AI but to adapt, using it as a tool while deepening human-centric capabilities. The era of AI collaboration has begun—those who evolve will thrive; those who don’t may face obsolescence.

Survey Shows Institutions Want Solana Over XRP And Dogecoin, Here Are The Figures

A recent survey by Coinbase and EY-Parthenon reveals that institutional investors are more heavily allocated to Solana (SOL) than to XRP and Dogecoin (DOGE). As of January 2026, 36% of surveyed institutions held SOL, with 38% planning to increase their allocation. In contrast, only 18% held XRP and a mere 2% held DOGE. This preference for Solana places it just behind Bitcoin and Ethereum in institutional portfolios. However, this trend contrasts with the current ETF market data, which shows XRP ETFs leading in net assets at $949.15 million, compared to $849.65 million for Solana ETFs and $9.12 million for Dogecoin ETFs. The survey also indicates a growing institutional preference for gaining crypto exposure through ETFs rather than holding spot crypto directly, with 66% using ETFs as of January 2026, up from 64% a year earlier.

Bitcoin Miners Are Under Heavy Profit Pressure, CoinShares Finds

CoinShares' Q1 2026 report reveals Bitcoin miners are under severe financial pressure due to falling BTC prices, low hashprice, and intense competition, pushing many toward breakeven or losses. The weighted average cash cost to produce one BTC rose to nearly $80,000 in Q4 2025. Hashprice dropped significantly to $29/PH/s/day in Q1, causing miner capitulation and three consecutive negative difficulty adjustments. Approximately 15-20% of the global mining fleet is now unprofitable. Public miners have sold over 15,000 BTC from their treasuries, with some liquidating holdings entirely. The sector is diverging: some remain focused on Bitcoin, while others pivot to AI and high-performance computing, with AI revenue potentially reaching 70% by end-2026. This shift introduces new risks as companies take on substantial debt to fund AI expansions.

Judge Halts Pentagon's Retaliation Against Anthropic | Rewire News Evening Edition

Federal Judge Rita Lin blocked the Pentagon from labeling Anthropic as a "supply chain risk," calling the rationale "Orwellian." The decision came after Anthropic refused to use its Claude AI for autonomous weapons and domestic surveillance. On the same day, Anthropic's new model "Mythos" was accidentally exposed, and the company is reportedly planning an IPO with a $380 billion valuation. In other news, Huawei's new AI chip Ascend 950PR received orders from ByteDance and Alibaba, with performance reportedly doubling Nvidia's H20. Meanwhile, Reuters revealed that SMIC provided chipmaking equipment to Iran's military. The Pentagon is considering deploying 10,000 additional troops to the Middle East, while Trump extended the deadline for striking Iranian energy facilities and appointed JD Vance as chief negotiator with Iran. OpenAI's ChatGPT advertising pilot reached a $100 million annualized run rate in six weeks, but the company is losing enterprise market share to Anthropic. Additional developments include Meta increasing its Texas AI data center investment to $10 billion, Moonshot AI seeking a Hong Kong IPO, and Tether hiring KPMG for a USDT reserve audit.

Garlinghouse Reveals Why Ripple Really Pivoted To Its Own Stablecoin

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse explained that the company launched its own stablecoin, RLUSD, to internalize a role it was already playing at scale—having previously minted 20% of all USDC due to its large payment flows. The decision was driven by Ripple's substantial balance sheet strength, which positions it to offer a compliant, institutionally-focused stablecoin, especially after observing vulnerabilities like USDC's depeg during the Silicon Valley Bank collapse. Garlinghouse emphasized that trust, licensing, and transparency will differentiate stablecoins as the market matures, and he expects regulatory progress in the U.S. to continue, with further clarity anticipated by the end of May.

Doom Looms For Gemini (GEMI): Expert Predicts Bankruptcy By End Of 2026

Gemini's stock (GEMI) has plummeted 90% from its September 2025 peak, sparking bankruptcy concerns. Market expert Dom Kwok warns the crypto firm could face insolvency by end-2026 due to multiple crises: mounting lawsuits alleging IPO misinformation, a mass exodus of C-suite executives, slowing revenue growth, and accelerating losses. The company is rapidly depleting its IPO cash reserves and may soon require highly dilutive financing, further eroding shareholder value. Operational issues like account freezes and poor customer service compound its troubles. With its stock trading near $4.59 and no recovery catalyst in sight, Gemini's future appears critically endangered.

Pharos Network Partners with Circle to Promote the Construction of an Open and Inclusive Global RealFi Settlement System

Pharos Network, a financial-grade Layer1 blockchain, has announced the integration of USDC and Circle's Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP) into its mainnet, The Pacific Ocean. This move introduces institutional-grade stablecoin settlement capabilities and enables seamless cross-chain liquidity across more than 20 supported blockchains.

By eliminating the need for third-party bridges or wrapped assets, CCTP enhances security and capital efficiency. The integration allows developers to build lending markets, structured products, and global payment networks on Pharos Network. It also gain access to compliant on-chain RWA markets, while users benefit from broader real-world financial opportunities. Additionally, Pharos Network has launched a $10 million ecosystem incubation program to support native application development.
