Bitcoin faces $240B demand shock as 'surprise' tax refunds and new IRS crypto rules arrive

Bigger U.S. tax refunds, new crypto rules, and faster payouts are turning refund season into a real-world test of Bitcoin's retail demand.

Bitcoin has spent the first half of April trading in the low $70,000s, with recent moves through the $71,000 to $75,000 zone keeping the asset close enough to its highs for retail attention to return quickly.

But there's a more important change happening beneath the surface.

A lot of household cash is moving through the U.S. financial system as today's April 15 tax deadline arrives. This year, tax season is also more complicated for people who own crypto.

This overlap creates a more interesting situation than the usual talk about ETFs or the broader economy.

Recent IRS statistics show just how big the refund channel is now.

Adam Back Pushes for Optional Upgrades to Quantum-Proof Bitcoin

The Blockstream CEO’s approach contrasts with BIP-361, a proposal that would implement mandatory freezes of quantum-vulnerable Bitcoin.

Blockstream CEO Adam Back advocated for optional quantum-resistant Bitcoin upgrades at Paris Blockchain Week on Wednesday, a day after a group of Bitcoin developers pushed for a mandatory freeze on quantum-vulnerable Bitcoin.

"Preparation is key. Making changes in a controlled way is far safer than reacting in a crisis," Back said at the conference. He also emphasized Bitcoin's proven emergency coordination capabilities, noting that "bugs have been identified and fixed within hours. When something becomes urgent, it focuses attention and drives consensus."

His approach contrasts with that of BIP-361, a proposal authored by Jameson Lopp and five other developers that would phase out quantum-vulnerable addresses over five years. The proposal, updated in Bitcoin's official repository on April 15 under the title "Post Quantum Migration and Legacy Signature Sunset," would implement a phased soft fork ultimately freezing coins that do not migrate—including the holdings of Bitcoin’s pseudonymous creator, Satoshi Nakamoto.

The intervention highlights a deepening split among Bitcoin developers around how to address the looming threat of “Q-Day”—the moment when a quantum computer with sufficient power to break the encryption used by Bitcoin emerges. Recent research from Google and Caltech suggests quantum computers capable of breaking the cryptocurrency's security may arrive within years rather than decades.

The debate has been sharpened by accelerating progress in quantum computing. Google Quantum AI published research last month showing that quantum computers may break elliptic curve cryptography with fewer than 1,200 logical qubits.

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.

Bitwise launches Avalanche ETF with plans to stake AVAX held The $11 billion crypto asset manager launched the new fund, ticker symbol BAVA.

Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart called the fund's $400,000 worth of volume in the first 90 minutes of trading "pretty damn good."

Bitwise Asset Management, which has $11 billion under management, launched a new Avalanche exchange-traded fund on Wednesday.

The firm intends to stake the AVAX held, according to a statement.

"Avalanche is emerging as one of the leading platforms for businesses, governments, and real-world use cases," Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan said in the statement. "Avalanche's unique structure, which lets users leverage the security and scale of a large network while maintaining flexibility and control, makes it a great landing pad for enterprise-grade onchain applications."

CoW Protocol Price Falls; $COW Releases Statement on Recent Attack

CoW Protocol prices continue to be under pressure over the last 24 hours as the project grappled with fallout from a security incident on April 14. Crypto dropped by nearly 3% to trade at approximately $0.213. Yet that drop was while the global crypto market was on the rise, even as Bitcoin modestly gained.

The divergence illustrates a palpable change in sentiment on the protocol in the wake of the hack. The downturn was set in motion by a front-end attack that attacked the platform’s website. In the last statement release, it was reported that an attacker gained control over the cow.fi domain via DNS hijacking.

This lets the attacker then take users down the path to a malicious interface that had a close match to the original site to redirect them to a similar site. The device had been set up to deceive users into agreeing to approve malicious transactions or revealing sensitive wallet information. Only days after the problem was exposed, the squad put out a public alert.

Users were told to avoid interacting with the platform’s front-end. However, the protocol was also paused as a precautionary measure. The team assured that both the core smart contracts and backend systems were not compromised. Still, the attack carried a significant risk since it attacked the interface that users use to interact with the protocol.

The incident was flagged early by Blockaid, a firm that monitors decentralized applications for suspicious activity. Its detection system identified unusual behavior linked to the cow.fi domain. Shortly after, the protocol confirmed the issue and urged users to stay away until further notice. This quick response helped limit wider damage, even though the event still affected market confidence.

Japanese Financial Giant Reveals Cryptocurrencies Prioritized by Institutional Investors!

The bear market that has been ongoing since October has driven both retail and institutional investors out of the market.

However, the recent surge in Bitcoin (BTC) and altcoins has injected renewed momentum into the market, and according to Japanese giant Nomura, 80% of institutions appear willing to invest in cryptocurrencies.

According to a recent report by the Japanese financial group Nomura, 80% of institutional investors are willing to allocate 2-5% of their assets to cryptocurrencies.

According to the report, investors do not view the current market as an entry point, but rather as a preparatory phase before entry.

According to DL News, the “2026 Digital Asset Institutional Investor Survey” report indicates that institutions are more interested in yield-generating strategies such as staking, lending, and stablecoin usage, rather than simple price appreciation.

As investment priorities, more than two-thirds of participants are interested in generating returns through decentralized finance (DeFi) mechanisms such as staking, 65% are exploring lending and tokenized assets, and 63% are interested in derivatives and stablecoins.

Furthermore, 63% of participants believe stablecoins have practical use cases such as cash management, cross-border payments, and investment in tokenized assets, and they consider stablecoins issued by large financial institutions to be the most reliable.

According to Nomura’s survey results, regulatory clarity, increased awareness, and improved risk management frameworks are seen as key to further boosting institutional investment in cryptocurrencies.
