As the stablecoin market recorded $75.6 trillion in total transaction volume in the past year, Pablo Hernández de Cos, General Manager at the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), opened a fresh chapter on stablecoins.

In a speech at a Bank of Japan seminar on the 20th of April, Hernández de Cos highlighted that despite moments of growth, the stablecoin market cap as of April 2026 was roughly around $315 billion.

The BIS manager sees this market cap as a dwarf version of the $8 trillion held alone in bank deposits in the U.S.

Buried in Bitmine Immersion Technologies’ latest disclosure is a number that speaks to just how deep the company has gone on Ethereum.

Of the nearly 5 million ETH it now holds, 3.33 million is actively staked through its validator platform, generating more than $200 million in annualized staking revenue.

For a company built around accumulating a single digital asset, that income stream turns what might look like a speculative bet into something closer to an operating business.

The purchase that pushed those numbers higher came during the week of April 13 to April 19. Bitmine acquired 101,627 ETH in that period, its largest single-week buy since December 2025.

The transaction was disclosed Monday through a press release and a Form 8-K filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission.

Closing In On Target

Following the purchase, Bitmine held 4,976,485 ETH — valued at roughly $11.5 billion based on a reference price of $2,301 per toke`n. That puts the company’s ownership at about 4.12% of total Ether in circulation.

Its stated target is 5%, a goal the company refers to internally as the “alchemy of 5%.” At the current pace, it is around 80% of the way there.

Chairman Tom Lee said the company has kept up an increased buying pace for four straight weeks. “Our base case ETH is in the final stages of the mini-crypto winter,” he said. Lee made similar remarks at Paris Blockchain Week 2026, where he predicted Ether could eventually top $60,000.

Beyond its ETH position, Bitmine also holds 199 Bitcoin, a $200 million stake in Beast Industries, a $107 million stake in Eightco Holdings, and $1.12 billion in cash. Total crypto and cash holdings stand at close to $13 billion.

European banks are at risk of losing customers to rivals with better crypto tools


A growing share of European investors may change banks to access better crypto services, according to a new study from Boerse Stuttgart Digital, signaling a shift in how digital assets are shaping retail finance across the region.

The survey, conducted by market research firm Marketagent between August 2025 and January 2026, gathered responses from 6,000 individuals across Germany, Italy, Spain and France. It found that 35% of respondents would consider switching banks if another institution offered stronger crypto investment options.

That figure rises to 40% in Spain, the highest among the countries surveyed, followed by Italy at 35%, France at 33% and Germany at 29%.

At the same time, crypto ownership continues to expand. Around 25% of respondents said they have already invested in digital assets, with Spain again leading at nearly 28%. Germany followed at 25%, while Italy and France trailed slightly.

Despite crypto’s origins outside traditional finance, the study suggests banks remain central to its next phase. Investors were more than twice as likely to trust their primary bank for crypto services than specialized platforms.

This trust advantage comes as many investors still struggle to understand the asset class. More than 60% said they feel poorly informed about crypto, while 69% described it as too complex.

Concerns around regulation also persist, with 76% viewing crypto as insufficiently regulated and therefore risky.

The findings point to a potential opening for banks. Nearly one in five respondents expect their bank to offer crypto access within the next three years, suggesting that digital assets are moving from a niche offering to a standard feature in retail finance.

Access to crypto in Europe has expanded in recent years, though it remains uneven.

Bitcoin Price Retakes $76,500 as Iran Tensions and Oil Volatility Drive Market Uncertainty


Bitcoin price traded above $76,500 today, holding onto recent gains despite rising geopolitical tension. Bitcoin fell back toward $75,000 into the weekly close and over the weekend as renewed tension between the United States and Iran rattled markets and refocused attention on oil prices.

The pullback followed a failed breakout above $78,000, which had marked Bitcoin’s highest level in ten weeks. The move higher came after a brief easing in geopolitical risk, when Iran signaled the Strait of Hormuz was open. That shift sent crude lower and lifted risk assets, including crypto. The rally reversed once reports emerged that the waterway had been closed again, raising the prospect of tighter global oil supply.

“Bitcoin finally broke out of its multi-week range last week, now trading around $75,000, finally breaching the important $74,000 as $530 million worth of shorts were squeezed by positive developments around the Straits of Hormuz,” Bitfinex analysts wrote to Bitcoin Magazine.

The Strait of Hormuz handles a significant share of the world’s oil shipments, and any disruption tends to drive energy prices higher. Oil climbed back toward the high-$80 range after the renewed closure, adding pressure to inflation expectations and risk markets. Bitcoin price, which has tracked macro conditions through the conflict, gave up gains as sentiment shifted.

“The sustainability of a move higher [for bitcoin] now hinges on geopolitics as the US-Iran ceasefire expires 21 April unless a resolution is found, leaving upcoming negotiations in the driving seat and determining whether this breakout evolves into a continuation or a failure,” Bitfinex analysts note.

Market data shows the reversal triggered a wave of liquidations. More than $250 million in crypto positions were wiped out o

Michael Saylor’s firm Strategy just completed its third-largest Bitcoin acquisition ever, buying up 34,164 BTC for approximately $2.54 billion.The company now owns 815,061 BTC acquired for $61.56 billion, at an average price of $75,527 per Bitcoin.The recent acquisition, priced at an average of $74,395 per Bitcoin, was Strategy’s largest since a 55,000 BTC buy reported on November 25, 2024, the firm’s biggest crypto purchase ever. The company’s second-largest acquisition was a 51,780 BTC buy also reported in November 2024.About 86% of the proceeds came from proceeds of STRC sales, with the remainder from MSTR common stock sales resulting in common stock dilution. STRC is Strategy’s Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock, which currently pays a variable monthly dividend of 11.5%.Saylor says Strategy has achieved a BTC Yield of 9.5% year-to-date. The firm, which trades on the Nasdaq under the ticker MSTR, is the world’s largest corporate holder of Bitcoin and was the first public company to adopt BTC as its sole treasury reserve asset.Bitcoin is trading at $75,655 at time of writing. The top-ranked crypto asset by market cap is up 0.54% in the past 24 hours and nearly 5% in the past seven days.In a tweet earlier this month, Saylor predicted that Bitcoin would not have to endure future boom-and-bust cycles.“Bitcoin has won. Global consensus is that BTC is digital capital. The four-year cycle is dead. Price is now driven by capital flows. Bank and digital credit will determine Bitcoin’s growth trajectory. The biggest risk is bad ideas driving iatrogenic protocol changes.”Generated Image: Midjourney
