Ripple (XRP) is currently in the center of massive speculations, with the token being bombarded with new developments. Starting with the Ripple CEO, Brad Garlinghouse recently commented on how XRP is currently pursuing a path to compete with SWIFT, followed by the token’s ETF attracting heavy capital inflows as of late.

Strategy's Michael Saylor hinted Bitcoin (BTC) bottomed at $60,000 as traders set the stage for a steady build-up. The crypto market gained momentum following the U.S.-Iran pause, spiking the top crypto by more than 7% this week. However, fears from prolonged sell-offs linger across several markets.Bitcoin bulls have shown positive sentiment this week, aiming to reclaim lost value amid macroeconomic and geopolitical headwinds. Pro-market enthusiast Saylor said the price likely bottomed, with a spike in sentiment driven by seller exhaustion. This year, crypto assets faced heavy headwinds, crashing to multi-month lows. Bitcoin initially shed 35 before posting more losses after the price sank below the $70k mark. Selloffs were fueled by over-leveraged miners and weak institutional holders looking to avoid losses. These holders largely acquired assets during the crypto corporate treasury frenzy, when big firms diversified their cash reserves. On their part, Bitcoin and other assets were necessary on the balance sheet as new widows for institutional investors opened. However, drawbacks became dominant, leading weaker holders to lose positions and ushering in mass liquidations. Saylor believes a shift in momentum is taking shape, with rising spot ETF demand and whale accumulations.Bitcoin price is above the $70k mark as Middle East tensions subside over the next two weeks. U.S. stocks are also rising, signaling a general uptick in investor confidence. While macro factors are aligning for Bitcoin, on-chain metrics, such as supply profit drops, point to looming fears. Analyst Darkfrost wrote that almost 50% of BTC is held at a loss, a level at which bear markets have previously bottomed. He admitted that bull resilience is notable in line with wider market projections. "More precisely the share of Bitcoin sunnly still in profit is

Hong Kong granted its first two stablecoin issuer licenses to HSBC and Anchrpoint Financial, a Standard Chartered-led joint venture that includes Animoca Brands.

The HKMA assessed 36 applications and had signaled that the initial round would be limited.
The decision to license the city's note-issuing banks first appears to be deliberate.

HSBC and Standard Chartered are two of only three commercial banks authorized to print Hong Kong dollar banknotes.

Strategy's near $2 billion profit on Bitcoin is eclipsed by huge losses SEC filing shows

Strategy's dashboard touts BTC Gain, but fair value accounting shows a $14.46 billion unrealized loss for the quarter ended March 31.

Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) is claiming its aggressive Bitcoin purchases have yielded a nearly $2 billion gain this year despite the top asset's clear price struggles.

However, a close look at the enterprise software company's legally binding regulatory filings tells a much redder story: under standard accounting rules, the firm is nursing a multi-billion dollar unrealized loss, and its aggregate Bitcoin stack sits firmly underwater.

Despite the paper losses, the company shows no signs of slowing. Armed with a highly liquid capital markets engine, Strategy continues to issue equity to fund massive daily purchases, completely unfazed by the disconnect between its curated corporate dashboard and its sobering regulatory reality.

Bitcoin miner fees are close to zero as cost to mine nears $80,000 with difficulty about to drop 5%

With fees contributing almost nothing, miners depend on price, efficiency, and cost control as the next reset approaches.
Bitcoin mining is still running on the subsidy, not demand.

That is the more useful place to start as we head into the next Bitcoin difficulty adjustment window, which CoinWarz now estimates for April 18, 2026, with difficulty projected to fall from 138.97 trillion to 132.14 trillion, a decline of 4.91%.

The schedule matters less than the structure underneath it. YCharts, using Blockchain.com data, showed daily Bitcoin transaction fees at 2.443 BTC on April 8, down 69% from a year earlier.

With the block subsidy fixed at 3.125 BTC and the network producing roughly 144 blocks a day, fees are still contributing only a sliver of miner revenue in BTC terms.

That leaves the next few weeks framed by a narrower and more useful question. If fees stay pinned near the floor, what actually determines miner survivability?

The answer starts with the revenue stack, then moves to the cost stack, then to the adaptation stack. Revenue still depends overwhelmingly on the subsidy and Bitcoin price.

Costs still depend on power, fleet efficiency, debt, and treasury policy. Adaptation depends on how much flexibility an operator has when mining alone no longer offers an attractive enough return on power and infrastructure.

The role of the coming difficulty is secondary. A lower difficulty target can ease pressure on operators by improving output per unit of hash when price and fees hold steady. In the current environment, that distinction shapes the entire operating map for miners.

Bitcoin miners get paid from two sources: the subsidy and fees. Subsidy is the protocol-level issuance attached to each block.
