Japan Launches PoC for Blockchain‑Based Collateral Management Using JGBs

Japan launched a pilot project to manage sovereign bonds as digital collateral using blockchain on the Canton Network.

Mizuho, Nomura, JSCC and Digital Asset Holdings participate in the PoC, selected by Japan’s FSA in February 2026.

The trial seeks to enable real-time collateral transactions around the clock, including cross-border operations with international actors.

Japan announced the launch of a proof-of-concept (PoC) project aimed at managing Japanese government bonds —known as JGBs— as digital collateral on a blockchain network.

The initiative was jointly announced by Mizuho Financial Group, Nomura Holdings, Japan Securities Clearing Corporation (JSCC) and Digital Asset Holdings (DA), and was selected by Japan’s Financial Services Agency (FSA) in February 2026 as part of the Payment Innovation Project (PIP).

The chosen infrastructure is Canton Network, a blockchain designed specifically for institutional finance and developed with DA’s support. The PoC will seek to verify, from a legal and operational perspective, whether the transfer of rights and the updating of records within a hierarchical structure involving multiple account management institutions can be executed seamlessly through blockchain technology, all within the framework established by Japan’s Act on Book-Entry Transfer of Corporate Bonds and Shares.

Solana Technical Outlook: Range Compression Under Macro Resistance

SOL remains in a higher timeframe downtrend, but recent price action shows clear stabilization and range compression, signaling a possible accumulation phase before expansion.

Currently trading around $85–$86, price is holding steady within a tight consolidation range, just below key resistance.




EMA Structure (Neutral → Early Bullish Shift)

20 EMA: $85.0
50 EMA: $87.2
100 EMA: $97.3
200 EMA: $117.2

Price hovering around 20 & 50 EMA → indecision

100 EMA (~$97) acting as strong resistance

200 EMA far above → macro bearish structure intact

No full trend reversal yet





Fibonacci Levels

0.786 Fib: $213.60
0.618 Fib: $182.29
0.5 Fib: $160.31
0.382 Fib: $138.32
0.236 Fib: $111.11
Fib 0: $67.14

Price well below 0.236 ($111) → weak HTF structure

Base formed near $80–$85 zone

Needs reclaim above $97–$111 for bullish continuation





Market Structure

Downtrend → now forming sideways range

Higher lows visible (short-term strength)

Descending trendline still active

Compression suggests incoming volatility





RSI Momentum

RSI: 51

Neutral momentum

Slight bullish tilt

Room for move in either direction





📊 Key Levels

Resistance

$87–$89 (range high / immediate resistance)
$97 (100 EMA)
$111 (0.236 Fib major resistance)

Support

$84 (range support)
$80 (strong base)
$67 (macro support)




📌 Summary

SOL is in a tight consolidation phase after a strong downtrend, showing early signs of stabilization but lacking strong bullish confirmation.

Range-bound structure

Momentum neutral

Breakout setup forming





📉 Scenarios

🟢 Bullish Case:
Break above $89 → $97 → $111

🔴 Bearish Case:
Lose $84 → $80 → $67




SOL is coiling within a narrow range, and this type of structure often leads to a sharp move.
Direction will depend on range breakout, so patience is key until confirmation.

Sell Bitcoin Now? Trader Warns of Drop to $48K Before May Comeback

Crypto Jack warns Bitcoin could drop to $48K after failing to break above $75K resistance.

Rising US-Iran tensions and seized cargo ship increase uncertainty, putting pressure on crypto market sentiment.

Bank of Japan’s $2.86 billion Treasury sell-off sparks fears of liquidity shock across global financial markets.

Since the US–Iran conflict began, the overall market has been under pressure, and crypto has been hit the hardest. Now, a popular trader, Crypto Jack, is warning investors to sell bitcoin now. 

Bitcoin is showing signs of weakness after failing to break above $75K. And crypto Jack believes Bitcoin could fall to $48K before recovering in May.

Here’s why he thinks a drop could happen soon.

One of the biggest concerns right now is rising tension between the US and Iran. Reports suggest Iran may skip the second round of peace talks scheduled for April 20 in Pakistan, even as US Vice President JD Vance is expected to lead the US delegation.

Tensions increased after the US seized an Iranian-flagged cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran called a “violation of the ceasefire” and has promised to respond to.

Iran said Tehran may not join the talks unless the US lifts its blockade.

Analyst Explains: “There Are Two Critical Levels to Watch in Bitcoin This Week!”


Bitcoin ($BTC) surged above $78,000 on Friday due to the impact of events between the US and Iran, but gave back its gains over the weekend as tensions escalated, falling back to $74,000.

As $BTC continues to be affected by the events between the two countries, a major expiration date is approaching for options contracts in the crypto market, as it does every Friday.

These options are particularly significant because they fall on the last Friday of both the week and the month.

According to weekly data, approximately $7.9 billion worth of Bitcoin options will expire on the Deribit derivatives exchange on April 24th.

According to Deribit data, $7.9 billion worth of Bitcoin options will expire this Friday, and the $75,000 level will be a key level to watch closely.

According to Deribit data, the $62,000 and $75,000 levels are noteworthy for Bitcoin. Call options are concentrated around $75,000, while put options are concentrated around $62,000.

Approximately $395 million worth of call positions are clustered around the $75,000 strike price. According to crypto analyst James Van Straten, this concentration of around $395 million in call positions at the $75,000 strike price is turning this level into a battleground. This could lead to the price being stuck in this region and increased volatility.

The analyst also noted that the current Bitcoin funding rate has turned negative, signaling a general downward trend in the market. According to the analyst, if the Bitcoin price remains above the key $75,000 level, a short squeeze could occur, potentially paving the way for a rapid and sharp upward movement in Bitcoin’s price

Bitcoin holds 'fragile equilibrium' near $75K as ETF demand cushions crypto market despite Hormuz tensions: analysts

Bitcoin holds near $75,000 even as renewed U.S.-Iran tensions jolted oil and equity markets, with traders weighing fresh geopolitical risk against a sharp pickup in institutional demand.

Analysts say bitcoin is increasingly trading like a liquidity-sensitive macro asset rather than a clean halving-cycle story, with stablecoin balances still building even as price action stays fragile.
Bitcoin (BTC) was trading near $75,200 on Monday, steadying after a weekend pullback as renewed strain around the U.S.-Iran ceasefire rattled oil, equities, and crypto markets alike, yet left the largest digital asset better supported than some traders had expected.

The market mood turned again after hopes of de-escalation gave way to fresh uncertainty around the Strait of Hormuz.

In a Monday note, QCP Capital said markets had started to lean toward a contained outcome before the weekend headlines snapped that tone, dragging bitcoin back toward $74,000 and ether (ETH) toward $2,300.

Similarly, Kyle Rodda, senior financial market analyst at Capital.com, noted that investors were back to trading headline risk, with oil once again setting the pace for moves across asset classes.
