Brian Armstrong Says AI Agents Could Drive Massive Digital Dollar DemandCoinbase CEO Brian Armstrong says the next wave of AI could become a major source of digital dollar demand.

He said in a post on X that if autonomous AI agents begin buying, selling, booking, hedging, and settling transactions on their own, they will need money built for internet speed.

Armstrong added that stablecoins and tokenized dollars are the most likely fit. This would make AI growth a direct driver of demand for dollar-backed digital assets.

The RHODL ratio has climbed to its third highest level on record, reflecting a market where long-term holders dominate following a 50% correction that flushed out short-term speculation.

While higher readings were seen in 2015 and 2022, further upside in the ratio would likely require a deeper collapse in demand, a scenario that appears less likely given bitcoin’s recovery and strong macro backdrop.

Currently sitting at its third highest level on record, the indicator shows that wealth is increasingly concentrated in older coins, as younger, more speculative holdings have been largely flushed out during the 50% correction in bitcoin over the past six months.

Plasma blockchain TVL has climbed to $2 billion, making it the seventh-largest blockchain by total value locked after Tether selected Plasma as one of only four networks to support its newly launched self-custody wallet. Summary Plasma’s TVL reached $2 billion as of April 16, up 27% over the past week and more than 80% over the past 30 days, per DefiLlama data, placing it seventh globally by TVL. Tether launched tether.wallet on April 14, selecting Plasma alongside Ethereum, Polygon, and Arbitrum as supported networks at launch, giving the chain a direct distribution channel to Tether’s 570 million global users. Analysts also point to growing optimism around the CLARITY Act approaching a Senate Banking Committee markup as a secondary driver of capital flowing into stablecoin infrastructure. Plasma blockchain TVL has surged to $2 billion, a 27% weekly gain and more than 80% over the past 30 days, pushing the stablecoin-focused Layer-1 to seventh place globally in total value locked according to DefiLlama. The move coincides directly with the launch of tether.wallet on April 14, a self-custody product from Tether that supports USDT and XAUT on Plasma alongside Ethereum, Polygon, and Arbitrum. Being selected as one of just four supported chains at launch positions Plasma as core Tether infrastructure rather than a peripheral experiment. Why the Tether Wallet Integration Matters Tether has more than 570 million users globally as of March 2026, with tens of millions of new wallets added every quarter. The self-custody wallet was designed to allow direct USDT transfers without requiring users to hold separate gas tokens, with fees paid in the asset being transferred. Users send funds using human-readable identifiers rather than raw wallet addresses. Plasma’s architecture was built specifically for this use case. As a stablecoin chain that launched in September 2

Charles Hoskinson Praises Zcash Then Explains Exactly Why It Is Struggling to Survive

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has shared a detailed and balanced take on Zcash, acknowledging its legacy while pointing out the challenges it faces today.

Speaking in a recent discussion highlighted by The Rollup, Hoskinson described Zcash as one of the “OGs of OGs” in crypto, crediting it for pioneering privacy-focused cryptography that is now being used in newer systems like Midnight. He also noted the strong principles behind the project, calling its team “cypherpunks at their core” and emphasizing mutual respect between builders in the space.

“The biggest issue right now, Zcash is not programmable, and so it’s a fixed-function ledger. And so they do have a path to it. They created a framework called ZEXE for that, and they’ve been doing amazing things, but we’re the first to market right now with programmable Zcash, you know?”

However, he pointed out a valid limitation—Zcash is still largely a fixed-function ledger, meaning it lacks programmability compared to modern blockchain platforms. While frameworks like ZEXE aim to address this, newer projects are already moving faster in that direction.

Liquidity Problem & The Dual-Token Fix

The bigger concern? Liquidity.

“The big thing that Zcash has to contend with is liquidity, because if you look at where regulation is going, protocol-level privacy, where the asset is shielded by default, that is having a harder and harder time getting listed on exchanges, you know?”

As regulations tighten globally, privacy coins with shielded-by-default features are finding it harder to get listed on exchanges. This has led to declining liquidity rather than growth, making long-term adoption more difficult.

Hoskinson explained that this is not about the quality of the technology, but rather how regulation is shaping m

Michael Saylor Break Even On Bitcoin As Strategy Holds Strong

Michael Saylor Bitcoin strategy has returned to a crucial level as the market stabilizes. Strategy’s average entry sits near $75,577, while Bitcoin trades close to $75,200. This places the company right at break even after months of volatility.

This moment carries strong psychological importance for both retail and institutional investors. Many market participants closely watch Michael Saylor’s moves as a signal of long-term conviction. His aggressive accumulation strategy shaped institutional Bitcoin investment trends over recent years.

The return to break even does not just reflect price recovery. It highlights resilience in a market that faced heavy corrections and uncertainty. Investors now question whether this level will act as support or trigger the next major move.

How Strategy Built Its Massive Bitcoin Position

Michael Saylor built one of the largest corporate Bitcoin holdings through consistent accumulation. His company, MicroStrategy, started buying Bitcoin in 2020.

The firm used a mix of cash reserves and debt financing to expand its holdings. This bold approach transformed MicroStrategy into a proxy for institutional Bitcoin investment. Investors began treating its stock as a leveraged Bitcoin play.

This strategy faced criticism during market downturns. Many questioned the sustainability of such a concentrated bet. However, Saylor maintained confidence and continued to accumulate during dips. Now, as Bitcoin approaches the company’s average entry price, that conviction faces a real test.

Bitcoin stalls below $76,000 as sell wall caps rally despite rising derivatives activity

Bitcoin is testing $76,000 for a third day, trading at $75,440 as bullish traders continue to chip away at $450 million of sell orders between $75,900 and $76,300, CoinGlass data shows.

The orders will be placed by traders who are either attempting to short the range-high in expectation of a reversion to around $68,000, and those defending against a breakout with liquidation risk above.

U.S. equities surged to record highs on Thursday as the war in Iran appears to be winding down following a ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon.

The crypto market outperformed equities since the start of the war, and is now taking a back seat.

Derivatives positioning

Activity in the crypto futures market has picked up, with bitcoin briefly topping $76,000 during European trading hours. Total market volume has risen 28% to $225.8 billion, while open interest (OI) has edged up over 1.5% to $126.68 billion.

More notably, total liquidations have surged 140% to $529 million, with short positions slightly exceeding longs, suggesting a mild short squeeze and building of upward pressure in the market.

Solana's $SOL is leading the growth in OI among the biggest cryptocurrencies. In 24 hours, the number of active contracts in Solana futures has increased by 11% to 5.53 billion $SOL, the most since March 18. Dogecoin is another standout, with OI hovering at the six-month high of 14.17 billion DOGE.

$SOL’s capital inflows appear to be driven by rising appetite for bullish positioning, with the positive funding rates and 24-hour OI-adjusted cumulative volume delta (CVD) signaling increasingly aggressive buying pressure.

Signals for dogecoin remain mixed, as a positive CVD points to buying pressure, while slightly negative funding rates suggest lingering bearish sentiment among derivatives traders.

Cardano's ADA leads on an OI-adjusted CVD basis, pointing to strong bu

Staggering $28 trillion flows through crypto's 'agent economy' - but 76% of it is just bots shuffling stablecoins

A rising share of on-chain payments is machine-led, but DWF, BCG, and others show the so-called agent economy still depends on centralized gateways.

Artificial intelligence and crypto-native tools are quickly shaping a future where software agents can fund themselves, run cross-chain strategies, and move through financial markets with no one at the controls.

According to a recent report by DWF Ventures, automated and agentic activity now accounts for an estimated 19% of all on-chain transactions, with 17,000 agents launched since 2025.

The report added that the agent economy is already here.
