Bitcoin is testing a level that capped its rally in January, CryptoQuant says

￼  coindesk.com1 h

￼

Bitcoin’s rally toward $75,000 is running into a wall of supply just as institutional demand is holding steady.

The move higher has been driven largely by macro flows rather than a broad surge in speculative activity. U.S.-listed spot bitcoin ETFs have continued to draw consistent inflows this month, including roughly $240 million in a single session following geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, according to market maker Enflux.

That bid helped lift $BTC from around $71,000 to the mid-$70,000s, even as traditional markets absorbed rising oil prices and shifting rate expectations. The pattern, Enflux noted, reflects allocation behavior rather than momentum chasing.

But as bitcoin pushes higher, the character of the market is starting to change.

On-chain data suggests supply is beginning to emerge more aggressively as prices approach a key cost-basis level for short-term holders. Around $76,800 sits the so-called realized price for recent buyers, effectively the average entry point for traders who accumulated during the last phase of the drawdown, according to CryptoQuant. In weaker market regimes, that level has often acted as resistance, as investors who were previously underwater use rallies to exit at breakeven.

It should be noted that the same band capped January's bounce almost to the dollar before prices reversed toward $60,000.

CryptoQuant said bitcoin exchange inflows spiked to roughly 11,000 $BTC per hour, the highest since late December, as prices tested the $75,000 to $76,000 range.

At the same time, the average deposit size rose to about 2.25 $BTC, the highest daily reading since mid-2024, suggesting that larger holders are driving the move. The share of large transfers jumped from below 10% to above 40% of total inflows within days, a shift the

Bitcoin miner HIVE lines up $75 million note offering to fund AI infrastructure expansion

HIVE Digital Technologies announced a private offering of $75 million in 0% exchangeable senior notes due 2031 to fund GPU procurement, data center expansion, and general corporate purposes.

The company also received conditional approval from the Toronto Stock Exchange, with shares expected to transition from the TSX Venture Exchange to the TSX around April 30.

HIVE Digital Technologies (HIVE) plans to offer $75 million of 0% exchangeable senior notes due 2031, as the publicly traded bitcoin miner moves to expand its artificial intelligence infrastructure and data center footprint.

The notes will be issued to qualified investors by HIVE Bermuda 2026 Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary. Net proceeds are expected to support general corporate purposes and capital investment, including the purchase of graphics processing units and data center expansion, the company said in a statement on Wednesday.

Per the statement, the issuer also expects to grant initial purchasers a 13-day option to acquire up to an additional $15 million of the notes. The securities will not bear regular interest and will mature in 2031. Under certain conditions, the notes can be exchanged into cash, HIVE common shares, or a combination of both at the issuer’s election once final pricing terms and the initial exchange rate are determined. 

In connection with the transaction, HIVE intends to fund capped call transactions using cash on hand. The issuer may use a portion of the net proceeds to reimburse HIVE for the cost of those transactions, the company said, noting that the capped call transactions are designed to reduce potential economic dilution of common shares upon exchange of any notes or offset cash payments the company could be required to make in excess of principal, ....

Kevin Warsh crypto holdings in more than 20 blockchain companies are now public record after Trump’s Fed chair nominee filed a 69-page financial disclosure with the U.S. Office of Government Ethics, with his Senate confirmation hearing set for April 21. Summary Warsh’s disclosure reveals indirect stakes in Solana, dYdX, Optimism, Dapper Labs, Polymarket, and over 20 other crypto-linked entities through venture fund structures. His combined assets with wife Jane Lauder, an Estee Lauder heir, total at least $192 million, with two individual positions each exceeding $50 million that he has pledged to sell if confirmed. If confirmed, Warsh would be the first Federal Reserve Chair in history with prior exposure to crypto venture capital. Kevin Warsh crypto holdings now span every major sector of the digital asset industry, from Layer 1 blockchains to DeFi, NFT infrastructure, and prediction markets. Trump nominated Warsh in January 2026 to succeed Jerome Powell, whose term as Fed Chair ends May 15. The financial disclosure now gives the crypto industry a precise picture of just how deep his exposure runs. His crypto positions, detailed in the OGE Form 278e, are concentrated across several venture fund structures rather than direct token purchases. What the 69-Page Filing Shows Through AVGF I, Warsh holds indirect stakes in Solana, Optimism, and Lightning Network infrastructure. Through DCM Investments 10 LLC, his exposure includes dYdX, Polychain, Compound, and Blast, an Ethereum Layer 2 protocol. A separate AVF fund series captures Dapper Labs, DeSo, Zero Gravity, and Friends With Benefits. Under OGE disclosure rules, positions listed without a dollar value are each worth less than $1,000, meaning these are small venture bets rather than concentrated positions. The two largest individual holdings are in Juggernaut Fund LP, each exceeding $50 million, with underl

The Trump family is heavily invested in the digital currency sector, but a disturbing pattern is emerging among their backed companies, with virtually every initiative they have pushed appearing as a poorly managed enterprise headed for default. The Trump-backed projects include DeFi Project World Liberty Financial (WLFI), American Bitcoin Corp. (NASDAQ: ABTC), TRUMP and MELANIA memecoins, as well as an assortment of NFT collections.The President’s family has reportedly pocketed more than $1 billion from these investments that are now in deep loss-making territory. Critics have consistently argued that the Trumps are engaged in shady mechanisms that allegedly include pump-and-dump regimes, insider trading, and fraudulent business practices.Let us take a look at each Trump crypto company individually:WLFI was the flagship DeFi platform launched by Eric Trump and his father’s chief Middle East negotiator, Steve Witkoff, in the middle of the 2025 market boom. Initial token sales raised as much as $550 million, which eventually ballooned to $1.2 billion by early 2026, with the Trumps entitled to 75% of the revenues. This new cash cow in the crypto sector proved much more profitable than Eric Trump’s prior conventional business dealings.However, the WLFI token has taken a major hit during the last 6-7 months, after peaking at $0.33 in September 2025. The cryptocurrency now trades around $0.08, reflecting a roughly 76% decline (with recent reports citing up to 80% losses amid controversies over token unlocks and collateral use).This is another Eric Trump investment and a major mining initiative in the country. The firm went public in 2025 and has built a treasury exceeding 7,000 BTC in the process. However, the company’s stock has crashed by 94% recently following a $59 million deficit in the last quarter of 2025.Eric continues to promote his mining firm on s

Pakistan Ends Bitcoin and Crypto Banking Ban, Opens Financial System to Licensed Firms

Pakistan has lifted its 2018 crypto banking ban, allowing licensed firms access to banking services under strict regulation while still prohibiting banks from directly holding or trading digital assets.

Pakistan’s central bank has formally reversed its long-standing ban on banking services for cryptocurrency firms, allowing regulated banks to open accounts for licensed virtual asset service providers (VASPs) under a new legal framework.

The decision, announced in a circular by the State Bank of Pakistan and reported by Reuters, follows the enactment of the Virtual Assets Act 2026 and marks the country’s first structured move to integrate digital asset businesses into its formal financial system.

“This is a foundational step in bringing virtual assets into the formal financial system of Pakistan,” said Bilal bin Saqib, chairman of the Pakistan Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority, in an official statement.

Under the new rules, banks can provide basic financial services to crypto firms, but must first verify that the entities are licensed by PVARA. Strict safeguards have been put in place to mitigate financial risks and ensure compliance with anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorism financing standards.

Banks are required to conduct full due diligence, maintain updated risk profiles for VASP clients, and report suspicious transactions to regulators.

They must also ensure that client funds are held in segregated, non-interest-bearing accounts denominated in Pakistani rupees. The commingling of customer and company funds is strictly prohibited.

Ethereum-Based NFT Platform Halts Operations
The digital art community was jolted early this morning after the prominent Ethereum-based $NFT platform Foundation halted its operation.

This was due to the reversal of its recent acquisition by digital art gallery company Blackdove.

Blackdove executive Marc Billings announced the difficult decision to "pause our ongoing support of the Foundation platform" and return management to Foundation's original founder, Kayvon Tehranian, for an orderly transition.

According to Billings, Blackdove initially intended to acquire Foundation to integrate asset tokenization into its existing software infrastructure. This would make it possible for clients to browse, purchase, and display digital art.

Bitcoin’s quantum migration plan forces the network to choose between frozen and stolen coins


BIP 361 forces a choice between freezing vulnerable Bitcoin and risking quantum theft, as Ethereum and Tron race to prove they have safer migration runbooks.

Bitcoin's debate about quantum computers produced a published draft with real political consequences on Apr. 14.

Bitcoin Improvement Proposal 361 (BIP 361), titled “Post Quantum Migration and Legacy Signature Sunset,” landed in Bitcoin's official proposal repository with a three-phase plan to phase out ECDSA and Schnorr signature spends entirely once a quantum-resistant output type exists on the network.

The proposal builds directly on BIP 360, published in February, which introduced a new address format that strips Taproot's quantum-vulnerable key-path spend, called Pay-to-Merkle-Root (P2MR). The proposal also preserved compatibility with Lightning, BitVM, and multi-signature setups.

Together, the two drafts constitute the most explicit governance posture Bitcoin has adopted regarding quantum migration to date.

What makes this moment sharp is the external calendar hardening around it, as NIST finalized FIPS 203, 204, and 205 in August 2024 and urged organizations to begin migrating immediately.

The UK's NCSC has set migration milestones for 2028, 2031, and 2035, while US federal agencies face a 2035 quantum-transition target.

Governments, banks, and national cyber agencies already have migration deadlines on their calendars, making blockchains late arrivals to that debate.
