SEC charges Donald Basile in $16M crypto fraud tied to ‘insured’ token

The US Securities and Exchange Commission has filed a lawsuit against crypto executive Donald Basile, accusing him and two companies he controlled of raising about $16 million from investors through false claims tied to a so-called “insured” crypto token known as Bitcoin Latinum.

Spot Bitcoin ETFs attract nearly $1B in weekly inflows as risk sentiment improves

Spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) recorded nearly $1 billion in net inflows over the past week, marking their strongest performance in more than three months as market sentiment shifts toward risk assets.

Data from SoSoValue shows that spot Bitcoin ($BTC) ETFs attracted $996 muillion in total net inflows last week, the highest weekly intake since early January, when inflows reached about $1.4 billion.

Friday saw $663.9 million in inflows, the strongest single-day performance of the week. Earlier gains included $411.5 million on Tuesday and $186 million on Wednesday, followed by a more modest $26 million on Thursday. The period began with a $291 million outflow on Monday.

Total net assets across spot Bitcoin ETFs climbed above $101 billion by Friday, alongside a sharp increase in trading activity, with daily volumes nearing $4.8 billion.

On April 17, 2026, a major announcement spread throughout the world: the Strait of Hormuz officially reopened. This narrow waterway is one of the world's most important routes for oil transportation. While this news is exciting, many uncertainties remain. The reopening of the Strait of Hormuz is currently linked to a 10-day ceasefire agreement between Israel and Lebanon.

The Iranian Foreign Minister announced that ships can now use coordinated routes. Even President Trump retweeted the news, declaring to the world that Iran is ready to resume operations. However, the US Navy still maintains a blockade of Iranian ports. Therefore, only a small number of oil tankers are currently able to pass through, compared to as many as 100 vessels per day before the conflict.

Market Reaction: How Traditional Markets Will Respond

If the ports in the Strait of Hormuz were actually closed in early 2026, the world would feel the impact. Oil prices would surge to over $100 per barrel, and US gasoline prices would rise by more than 50 cents per gallon.

Shipping companies would have to detour through Africa, extending the voyage by 14 days.  This put immense pressure on the stock market and fueled investor anxiety about the future.

However, oil prices immediately plummeted upon news of the reopening. Brent crude fell by about $10, approaching $89 per barrel. This plunge acted as a green light, triggering a recovery in other markets.

Traditional markets, including the US stock market, repeatedly hit new highs. Investors hoped that the drop in oil prices would reduce inflation and promote faster economic growth.

Global payments giant Stripe is building what it calls the "AWS for money," and crypto tech is at the center of that plan.

Speaking at the RWA Summit in Cannes, France, Adrien Duchâteau, Stripe's head of crypto go-to-market, said the company is now integrating stablecoins and blockchain across its core payment stack as it looks to modernize how money moves globally.

"We’re putting product by product more of our stack onchain," he said.

The move builds on the firm's long, if uneven, history with crypto. Stripe was one of the earliest major tech companies to embrace bitcoin , enabling BTC payments as early as 2014 before pulling back in 2018 as volatility made it impractical for merchants, Duchâteau said. The company returned in 2021 with a dedicated crypto team, betting that the underlying technology had matured enough to support real-world use, he added.

Bitcoin 'plebs eat first' mining pool Parasite finds its second BTC block


A bitcoin mining pool built to reject both the industrial pay-per-share model and the pure lottery approach has now proved its design works. Twice.

Upstart mining pool Parasite Pool mined block 945,601 on Friday morning, its second block since launching in April 2025 and roughly 48 days after the pool's first block at #938,713 in late February.
The block carried 7,398 transactions and 0.002 $BTC in fees, landing with bitcoin trading at $76,21.

The Lightning Network isn’t ‘helplessly broken’


A post from Udi Wertheimer a few weeks ago made headlines across crypto media with a stark claim: the Lightning Network is "helplessly broken" in a post-quantum world, and its developers can do nothing about it. The headline traveled fast. For businesses that have built real payment infrastructure on Lightning or are evaluating it, the implications were unsettling.

It deserves a measured response.

Wertheimer is a respected Bitcoin developer, and his underlying concern is legitimate: quantum computers, if they ever become sufficiently powerful, pose a real long-term challenge to the cryptographic systems on which Bitcoin and Lightning depend. That part is true, and the Bitcoin development community is already working on it seriously. But the framing of Lightning as "helplessly broken" obscures more than it reveals, and businesses making infrastructure decisions deserve a clearer picture.

What Wertheimer got right

Lightning channels require participants to share public keys with their counterparty when opening a payment channel. In a world where cryptographically relevant quantum computers (CRQCs) exist, an attacker who obtains those public keys could theoretically use Shor's algorithm to derive the corresponding private key, and from there, steal funds.

This is a real structural property of how Lightning works. What the headline leaves out

The threat is far more specific and far more conditional than "your Lightning balance can be stolen."

First, the channels themselves are protected by a hash while they are open. Funding transactions use P2WSH (Pay-to-Witness-Script-Hash), meaning the raw public keys inside the 2-of-2 multisig arrangement are hidden onchain for as long as the channel remains open. Lightning payments are also hash-based, routed through HTLCs (Hashed Time-Lock Contracts), which r
