Bitcoin liquidation cluster builds around $70.7k and $78k as leverage creeps back

Coinglass flags $1.64b in $BTC longs at risk below $70,721 and $1.25b in shorts above $78,068 as Bitcoin grinds in a tightly leveraged $70k–$78k range.

According to Coinglass, if Bitcoin ($BTC) falls below $70,721, the cumulative long liquidation intensity on major centralized exchanges (CEXs) climbs to roughly $1.644 billion. Conversely, if $BTC breaks above $78,068, the platform estimates cumulative short liquidations of about $1.25 billion, underscoring how tightly clustered leverage has become around the current range.

At 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time on April 14, the price of Bitcoin stood near $74,315, up from about $71,189 a day earlier but still roughly $10,250 lower than a year ago, illustrating how volatility persists even as $BTC trades in the mid‑$70,000s. Prediction markets on Polymarket currently assign roughly a 71% chance that Bitcoin will settle between $74,000 and $76,000 on April 16, with the $72,000 to $74,000 band priced at about 22%, reflecting expectations that $BTC will stay pinned near the middle of the liquidation corridor in the short term.

$BTC leverage builds into tight range

The liquidation bands highlighted by Coinglass suggest that a clean break below $70,721 or above $78,068 could trigger forced selling or buying, amplifying moves as exchanges close out underwater futures positions. In practice, that means spot moves near those levels risk cascading into hundreds of millions of dollars in additional flow as over‑leveraged longs or shorts are flushed.

Recent crypto.news coverage of Bitcoin’s range‑bound trading and liquidity build‑up has pointed to a similar setup, with $BTC grinding sideways while leverage and open interest quietly rise. In another crypto.news story on Brazil’s B3 exchange and its tokenized real‑world asset and stablecoin

🚀 Cardano Showing Early Bullish Signs

Cardano (ADA) is starting to gain attention as early bullish signals appear on the charts. Over the past 24 hours, ADA has shown steady price movement with slight upward momentum, indicating that buyers are gradually entering the market. This type of slow buildup is often seen before a stronger breakout phase begins.

One of the key factors behind ADA’s stability is its strong development-focused ecosystem. Unlike hype-driven tokens, Cardano continues to focus on long-term growth through upgrades, scalability improvements, and real-world applications. This gives investors more confidence during uncertain market conditions.

Another positive sign is the consistency in trading volume. Instead of sudden spikes, ADA is experiencing controlled activity, which suggests accumulation rather than speculation. This is often considered a healthy sign for sustainable growth.

If buying pressure continues to increase, ADA could test higher resistance levels soon. However, traders should still monitor key support zones to manage risk.

PEPE Price Leads Meme Coin Surge as Capital Rotates to Risk Assets

Pepe coin, the frog-themed meme cryptocurrency jumped over 8% during Thursday’s U.S. market hours to hit $0.000004 high. This upswing follows the broader recovery in the meme coin market as capital rotates to higher-risk assets, supported by stable market sentiment. However, a stagnant trend in $PEPE’s open interest indicator suggests a lack of speculative force in the market. Can $PEPE price manage to reclaim the $0.000005 barrier?

Meme Coin Market Climbs 12% Amid Risk-On Sentiment Shift

In the last 24-hours, the meme coin sector witnessed a significant surge of over 12% to reach a market cap of $39.8 billion, according to Coingecko data. The buying pressure followed a sudden capital rotation to these volatile assets, as the escalation of the middle-east war has triggered a risk on sentiment.

Hopes for an extended U.S.–Iran ceasefire has stabilized markets, with Bitcoin reclaiming the $75,000 mark. The Fear and Greed Index of the cryptocurrency was at 56 as of April 16, 2026, which is squarely in the neutral zone. It is a level of equilibrium in the market sentiment and investors are not really scared or greedy.

Meme coins saw noticeable price increases during the day. $PEPE price climbed 9% to $0.000004, leading the segment. DOGEgained 3.07%, reaching $0.09601, while SHIB rose 3.41% to $0.00000606. These stable conditions showed positive price action in the meme sector in general.

However, the Pepe Open Interest (OI), projecting the outstanding value of outstanding futures and options contracts, averages around $194 million on Thursday. According to coinglass, the OI value has remained stagnant since early February, indicating a wait-and-see approach from institutions and traders. It suggests that while existing positions aren’t being aggressively closed, no significant “new money” is ente

Will Markets Break Resistance When $2B Crypto Options Expire Today?

Around 22,200 Bitcoin options contracts will expire on Friday, April 17, with a notional value of roughly $1.66 billion. This event is a little smaller than last week’s expiry, so it is unlikely to have any impact on spot markets.

Crypto prices have been climbing slowly this week, with around $150 billion being added to total capitalization since Monday.

Bitcoin Options Expiry

This week’s batch of Bitcoin options contracts has a put/call ratio of 1, meaning that sellers of longs and shorts are evenly matched. Max pain is around $71,000, according to Coinglass, which is a little lower than current spot prices, so some could be out of the money on expiry.

Open interest (OI), or the value or number of Bitcoin options contracts yet to expire, remains highest at the $80,000 strike price on Deribit, with $1.5 billion as bullish bets take over, but bears still have $1.4 billion in OI at $60,000.

Total $BTC options OI across all exchanges has been steadily climbing this month and is at $35.6 billion, according to Coinglass.

Ethereum security program flags DPRK-linked actors, recovers $5.8M

An Ethereum-backed security initiative has reported recovering or freezing more than $5.8 million in funds. Also, it identified around 100 suspected North Korean [DPRK] operatives embedded across Web3 projects.

The figures come from the six-month $ETH Rangers Program, launched by the Ethereum Foundation in partnership with industry groups. Also, the program funded independent security research and incident response across the ecosystem.

Program surfaces vulnerabilities and active threats

According to the report, participants in the program identified or cataloged more than 785 vulnerabilities, client bugs, and proof-of-concept exploits during the initiative.

The work also included over 36 incident responses, as well as the development of open-source security tools and research frameworks to improve threat detection and mitigation across Ethereum-based applications.

These efforts contributed to direct fund recovery in several cases, including coordinated responses to active exploits, during which assets were traced and frozen.

Ethereum Foundation-funded program exposes 100 DPRK workers in crypto

The Ethereum Foundation said it funded a six-month project that exposed 100 North Korean operatives who had infiltrated Web3 companies under fake identities.

The foundation on Thursday shared a recap of its ETH Rangers program, which was launched in late 2024 to provide "stipends for individuals doing public goods security work" within the ecosystem.

One of the recipients used the capital to build the Ketman Project to focus on investigating “fake developers” embedded within crypto, particularly operatives from the People's Republic of Korea.

During the six-month stipend period, the Ketman Project identified "100 different DPRK IT workers operating within Web3 organizations" and reached out to about 53 projects to alert them about having potentially employed active DPRK operatives.

"This work directly addresses one of the most pressing operational security threats facing the Ethereum ecosystem today," the Ethereum Foundation said.

North Korean operatives have been plaguing the crypto sector, leading to billions worth of crypto stolen over the years. One of the highest-profile hacking groups from North Korea is known as the Lazarus Group.

The Ethereum Foundation did not go into detail about how the Ketman Project was able to identify the DPRK operatives. However, the project's website has an extensive range of articles explaining the types of "tactics, behaviors and operational patterns" the operatives deploy.

Flare Proposes MEV Capture and 40% Inflation Cut Ahead of Vote


Flare Network is drawing renewed attention from the crypto community as a major governance proposal heads to a vote starting tomorrow, April 11, with voting open through April 24.

—

The proposal would fundamentally restructure how the network handles block building, capture maximal extractable value (MEV) at the protocol level, and cut annual token inflation by 40%.

If approved, Flare would become one of the first layer-1 blockchains to internalize MEV revenues — value that on most networks flows to a small number of specialized actors who profit from transaction ordering at the expense of ordinary users.

What Is MEV and Why Does It Matter?

MEV refers to the revenue that block builders extract by reordering, inserting, or censoring transactions within a block. On most blockchains, this value is captured by external searchers and builders who effectively impose a hidden tax on users through front-running, sandwich attacks, and arbitrage.

External estimates place annual MEV revenues at tens of millions of dollars on networks like Arbitrum, upwards of $500 million on Ethereum, and as much as $1 billion on Solana. Flare's proposal aims to redirect that type of revenue back into the protocol's own token economics rather than leaving it on the table for third parties.

A Three-Stage Block Building Overhaul

The proposal lays out a phased redesign of how blocks are constructed on Flare:

Stage One: Block building moves from individual validators to a designated builder, initially operated by the Flare Entity, with a fallback to the current model if the builder is unavailable.

Stage Two: Block building transitions into Flare Confidential Compute, making the process publicly auditable while preserving transaction privacy.

Stage Three: The builder and propose
