Renewed Bitcoin Prediction Resets Tim Draper’s Market Case

Venture capitalist Tim Draper has doubled down on his long-term bitcoin outlook after revisiting the early setbacks that shaped his conviction in the asset. In an Apr. 14 post on social media platform X, he retold how his first attempt to gain exposure unfolded, why later market disruptions did not weaken his thesis, and how those experiences continue to inform his current expectations. The post centers on his early missteps and sustained confidence in $BTC’s long-term trajectory.

His post highlighted the renewed price call and drew attention back to his broader macro argument. Draper stressed:
“I have reason to believe that bitcoin will reach $250K in 18 months … eventually I expect the number to be higher as bitcoin rises and the dollar falls to inflationary pressures.”

That framing suggests he is again tying $BTC’s upside to weakening fiat purchasing power rather than short-term trading signals. The timing also matters because the new 18-month window effectively refreshes a target he had previously attached to earlier deadlines, including 2022, June 2023, and later 2025. With bitcoin still far below that threshold, the latest post functions as another reset of a forecast that remains central to his public

The US dollar continued to slide toward six-week lows on Wednesday as improving risk sentiment driven by hopes of a lasting ceasefire in the US-Iran war pressured the safe-haven currency. The US Dollar Index dropped 0.1% to 98.06, hovering just above pre-conflict levels as investors rotated back into riskier assets like equities.The greenback surged in March when traders sought shelter during the Middle East conflict, partly because the US economy — a net energy exporter — was seen as relatively shielded from oil supply disruptions caused by the near-closure of the Strait of Hormuz. However, growing optimism around peace negotiations has since eroded much of that safe-haven premium.President Donald Trump signaled the conflict, which began with joint US-Israeli strikes on Iran in late February, could be "close to over." Speaking to multiple media outlets, Trump called a permanent ceasefire agreement "very possible" before King Charles's upcoming visit. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that negotiations remain "productive and ongoing," with officials expressing confidence about reaching a deal. A fresh round of talks is expected within days following an initial round in Pakistan that yielded no breakthroughs. The existing two-week ceasefire is set to expire on April 21.Meanwhile, US Central Command announced it had fully implemented a naval blockade against Iran, widely viewed as a pressure tactic ahead of further negotiations. Oil prices remained below $100 per barrel but stayed elevated compared to pre-war levels, keeping inflationary concerns alive globally.Analysts at Macquarie noted that a peace deal could push oil and gas prices lower, prompting central banks — particularly the Bank of England and European Central Bank — to dial back their hawkish stances. ING strategists, however, cautioned that risks for the dollar remain tilted t

Israeli advertising company (Nasdaq: TBLA) will lay off nearly a hundred employees, about 5% of its current workforce of about 2,000 employees. The layoffs will be carried out in the company’s branches in Israel, New York and South America. Estimates are that Taboola’s Tel Aviv branch has about 700 employees and the company is continuing to hire new staff. At this time, the announcement about the layoffs is being made to employees in Israel and in the coming hours to the rest of the employees abroad.These are apparently streamlining layoffs and not a specific move that the company is making in the field of AI. The company's stock has fallen by about 25% since the beginning of the year, due to negative investor sentiment towards software companies and since 2022, the company's stock has been trading more or less around a price of $3.In recent months, the company has been working to launch AI-powered advertising tools, such as "Realize," a performance-based campaign management tool that uses AI to generate creative content, and an answer engine for news sites called DeeperDive. In its 2025 financial statement, the company reported net revenue of $42 million and EBITDA of $127 million, and the company is currently trading at an 8x multiple of profit.

Stables partners with Mansa to add on‑demand liquidity and compliance‑first infrastructure to Asia’s fiat‑to‑USDT corridors, targeting the region’s 60% share of global stablecoin flows. Summary Stables teams up with Mansa to power dedicated liquidity for its fiat‑to‑USDT payment corridors across Asia’s 150 currencies. Asia drives 60% of global stablecoin flows, but only 1% of local banks support stablecoin rails, leaving cross‑border liquidity badly fragmented. Mansa has processed $394 million across 40+ corridors since 2024 and now supplies short‑term liquidity for Stables’ $1.5 billion annualized volume. Stables positions itself as an API‑first orchestration layer that helps fintechs integrate USDT payments and settlements via a single interface covering compliance, banking and stablecoin conversion. The company says it now processes more than $1.5 billion in annualized payment volume, while handling identity verification, sanctions screening and travel‑rule checks for clients seeking to use stablecoins without stitching together multiple vendors. Stables and Mansa finance develop rails for Asian stablecoins Mansa, which describes its model as “settlement‑time liquidity infrastructure,” will inject short‑term capital so that Stables’ on‑ramps and off‑ramps remain operational during volatility, replacing static prefunding with on‑demand stablecoin‑backed credit. “Stables has built exactly what Asia’s stablecoin market has been missing – a compliance‑first API that works across 150 currencies,” Mansa co‑founder and CEO Mouloukou Sanoh said, adding that as institutions shift to stablecoin payments, “that kind of infrastructure becomes essential” and “we’re excited to be the liquidity behind it – making sure the capital is there when the volume shows up.” You might also like: Tokenization startup Brix raises $5.5M to bring ‘institutional’ EM yield on‑chain The

The ETH/BTC ratio climbed to 0.0313 on Wednesday, its strongest reading since January, as record Ethereum network activity and a $180 billion stablecoin milestone signal a potential shift in market momentum. Summary The ETH/BTC ratio reached 0.0313, recovering from a 2026 floor of 0.028 in February, though it remains well below the January 18 peak of 0.038. Ethereum added 284,000 new users in Q1 2026, an 82% quarterly jump, while stablecoin supply on the network hit a record $180 billion. Analysts say a weekly close above 0.035 is required to confirm durable rotation into ETH rather than a short-term bounce. The ETH/BTC ratio is making its clearest recovery move of the year. Ethereum gained 4% over the past seven days, narrowly outpacing bitcoin’s 3.9% gain over the same period, with the ratio recovering from prior lows and pushing to its best level in three months. The move is backed by concrete on-chain data. Ethereum added 284,000 new users in Q1 2026, an 82% quarterly jump, while stablecoin supply on the network reached an all-time high of $180 billion, a 150% increase over three years. What the Numbers Say About ETH’s Recovery Ethereum now holds roughly 60% of the global stablecoin market, reinforcing its position as the primary settlement layer for tokenized dollars. That concentration of real economic activity gives ETH a structural demand base that extends beyond price speculation. The ETH/BTC ratio spent much of 2026 at depressed levels as bitcoin ETF-driven demand kept capital anchored in BTC. The current bounce suggests that rotation may be beginning, though analysts urge caution before calling it a confirmed trend. CoinMarketCap analyst CryptoAnu noted the ratio must reclaim 0.035 on a weekly closing basis to signal genuine altcoin rotation rather than a short-lived squeeze, adding that the Pectra upgrade is “finally being felt in 2026 with over
