Data shows the Bitcoin spot trading volume has surged up recently and is now approaching one-year highs as volatility in the market continues.
Bitcoin Weekly Trading Volume Jumps Up To Almost $8 Billion
According to the latest weekly report from Arcane Research, the spot volume has continued to go up since the crash.

The “trading volume” is an indicator that measures the total amount of Bitcoin that changed hands on any given day.
When the value of this metric increases, it means the number of coins being involved in transactions is going up at the moment.
Such a trend shows the BTC network is becoming more active as investors are moving a larger number of coins right now.
On the other hand, a decreasing volume can suggest the general investor interest in the crypto may be going down as the network activity is declining.
Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the Bitcoin trading volume over the past year:

As you can see in the above graph, the Bitcoin trading volume has been rising recently and is now at a high value.
The current 7-day average value of the indicator is around $7.8 billion, close to the yearly high set during the LUNA crash last month.
Other than that spike and the current one, the spot volume had been pretty dead throughout the past 12 months, compared to the values of early 2021.
The reason behind the current high trading volumes is that Bitcoin has been observing some pretty sharp volatility recently.
The below chart shows the trend in the BTC volatility during the last year and a half.

From the graph, it’s apparent that the 7-day average value of the Bitcoin volatility right now is the highest it has been since the May of 2021.
Periods with high volatility usually attract a large number of traders to the market and pushes those already in it to make some moves, thus resulting in high volumes.
BTC Price
At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s price floats around $20.6k, down 3% in the last seven days. Over the past month, the crypto has lost 32% in value.
The below chart shows the trend in the price of the coin over the last five days.

XRP, Bitcoin, And Everything In Between: Pundit Predicts What’s To Come

A crypto analyst (@Bird_XRPL) has outlined a bold market timeline from April 2026 through the end of the year, predicting significant momentum for XRP and Bitcoin. Key early catalysts include the launch of a digital payments platform around April 20 and a potential link between Solana and the XRP Ledger to boost liquidity. Strength in traditional equity markets, influence from figures like Elon Musk, and a revival in retail trading interest are also seen as supportive factors. The outlook anticipates a steady price rise into mid-year, building toward the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The global event, potentially featuring promotions by Cristiano Ronaldo, could introduce crypto to a massive new demographic and drive Bitcoin to a new all-time high. Following a period of attention and a subsequent consolidation phase, a strong Q4 finish is expected. The forecast highlights XRP, projecting a rise toward $27 or higher, fueled by combined market strength, increased participation, and global hype.

The Real Battlefield of AI Lies in the 'Dark Forest'

The article "AI's Real Battlefield is in the 'Dark Forest'" discusses the shifting dynamics in the global AI landscape, contrasting the strategic directions of Chinese and U.S. AI developers. Chinese companies like Alibaba (with its "HappyHorse" video model), ByteDance (Seedance 2.0), and Kuaishou (Kling 3.0) have taken the lead in text-to-video generation, surpassing OpenAI’s now-discontinued Sora. These models are deeply integrated into their parent companies’ content ecosystems (e.g., Douyin, Kuaishou), serving to reduce content creation costs and enhance user engagement rather than operating as standalone profit centers. In contrast, U.S. firms are pivoting toward high-stakes enterprise and security applications. Anthropic’s Claude Mythos model demonstrates advanced capabilities in autonomously discovering and exploiting software vulnerabilities, prompting concern at the highest levels of U.S. financial and governmental institutions. OpenAI responded with its own GPT-5.4-Cyber, signaling a strategic shift from consumer-facing products to enterprise-grade tools focused on cybersecurity and programming. The divergence is attributed to fundamental differences in resources and market structures. U.S. companies, backed by vast computational resources (e.g., Amazon and Google supply Anthropic with substantial funding and TPU access), can pursue deep, specialized R&D in high-value B2B sectors. Chinese firms, facing significant compute power constraints and a less mature enterprise SaaS market, have found success by leveraging their massive consumer platforms and optimizing for cost-efficiency. The article warns that the AI race is entering a "dark forest" phase—a reference to competitive dynamics where cybersecurity capabilities could determine digital sovereignty. While Chinese models like Zhipu AI’s GLM-5.1 show promise in narrowing the gap in coding proficiency, the author stresses that achieving parity in security-critical AI will require asymmetric strategies, including greater investment in coding models, adaptation to domestic hardware, and exploring international markets in the Global South.

XRP Gains Momentum As Buyers Return, But Here’s What The Sharpe Ratio Is Saying

XRP is showing signs of renewed bullish momentum as buyers return, approaching the $1.50 mark. However, the Sharpe Ratio, a key risk-adjusted performance metric, remains in negative territory, indicating underlying market inefficiency and a lack of efficient expansion. Crypto expert Teddy notes that while the overheated phase has passed, the ratio's negative reading suggests the market is still in a recovery phase from earlier losses. Momentum indicators show compression, with analysts predicting a potential aggressive move towards the 6.127% level if bullish momentum continues. A break above could open upward space of up to 12%, though it remains unclear whether this will be a sustained expansion or a retracement.

Fortune Investigation: Copying Strategy's Homework Fails, Fund Suffers Huge Losses and Liquidation, Fiancée Dies Mysteriously in Africa

In a dramatic turn of events, Joe McCann, founder of the crypto fund Asymmetric, faces both financial collapse and personal tragedy. After raising funds from prominent investors like Marc Andreessen, Asymmetric's liquidity fund nearly doubled in value during the 2024 crypto market surge. However, by July 2025, the fund suffered massive losses of nearly 80%, leading to investor redemptions and eventual liquidation. McCann attempted to pivot the fund’s strategy to emulate Michael Saylor’s "digital asset treasury" model but failed. Amid this financial turmoil, McCann’s personal life unraveled. His fiancée, influencer Ashly Robinson, died under suspicious circumstances during a vacation in Tanzania in April 2025. Initially ruled a suicide, her death is under investigation, with McCann’s passport seized by local authorities. Robinson’s family has called the events "suspicious." McCann, who had built a flashy personal brand around crypto success and cultural influence, now faces a crisis extending far beyond financial losses, encapsulating the high-risk, "asymmetric" nature of both his investments and his life.

Crypto And Financial Industry Giants Reveal What X Money Launch Means

Crypto and financial industry leaders, including Senator Elizabeth Warren, express significant concerns over Elon Musk's proposed X Money platform. In a letter to Musk, Warren warned that its April launch threatens consumer protection, financial stability, and national security. Key concerns include a potential partnership with a bank previously subject to FDIC enforcement, unclear plans for generating high-yield returns, and X's poor record on content moderation, data privacy, and fraud. Warren also highlighted a potential regulatory loophole allowing X to issue a stablecoin with less oversight. Separately, a crypto pundit noted X's integrated financial stack, including live features like Smart Cashtags and brokerage routing, poses a major threat to fintech competitors due to its vast user base.
