According to on-chain analyst Onchain Lens (@OnchainLens), a whale address starting with 0x9d99C withdrew 8,091 ETH from Binance, valued at approximately $17.64 million.
Mike McGlone, Senior Commodity Strategist at Bloomberg, posted on X that after Bitcoin’s sharp rally in 2025, it experienced a violent correction; currently, silver, gold, copper, natural gas—and most critically, crude oil—may enter an “up-too-much” zone by the end of 2026 and face similar correction risks. Typically, rapid asset price increases are underpinned by fundamentals, yet they simultaneously incentivize increased supply and dampen demand, ultimately triggering price reversals. Rapid surges in crude oil prices are often “destructive,” having historically triggered cascading effects across markets or the broader economy.
According to on-chain analyst Onchain Lens (@OnchainLens), publicly listed mining company Bit Digital (@bitdigital_btbt) has staked 29,900 ETH via Liquid Collective (@liquid_col), valued at approximately $65.3 million.
According to CoinShares’ Research Report (Issue 281), digital asset investment products recorded $1.1 billion in net inflows last week—the highest single-week level since January this year—driven primarily by U.S. CPI data coming in below expectations and ceasefire indications in the Iran situation, both of which significantly boosted market risk appetite. By asset, Bitcoin led inflows with $871 million for the week, bringing its year-to-date cumulative inflows close to $2 billion. Ethereum sentiment improved markedly, attracting $196.5 million in inflows; however, it remains in net outflow territory year-to-date. XRP saw $19.3 million in inflows, while Solana posted a modest outflow of $2.5 million. Notably, bearish Bitcoin products attracted $20.2 million in inflows during the same period—the largest single-week inflow since November 2024—indicating persistent hedging demand. Regionally, the U.S. dominated inflows, accounting for 95% of the total—or $1.06 billion. Germany, Canada, and Switzerland recorded inflows of $34.6 million, $7.8 million, and $6.9 million, respectively. Trading volume rose 13% week-on-week, yet the weekly volume of $2.1 billion remains below the year-to-date average of $3.1 billion. Total assets under management have rebounded to early-February levels.
According to QCP Group, U.S.-Iran negotiations collapsed over the weekend, sending oil prices back above $100 per barrel and triggering a broad market shift toward risk aversion. BTC encountered resistance at $74,000, while ETH pulled back from $2,330 to $2,180. Trump subsequently threatened to blockade the Strait of Hormuz to cut off Iranian oil exports; Iran countered with threats targeting the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, further widening risk exposure. China, as a major importer of Iranian crude oil, sits at the center of this crisis. Should the blockade be implemented, U.S.-China confrontation risks would rise significantly—a scenario not yet fully priced into markets. Nevertheless, the crypto market has demonstrated notable resilience: implied volatility and risk-reversal indicators have both retreated to pre-conflict levels, signaling waning panic. BlackRock’s IBIT recorded net inflows of $612.1 million over the past week, reflecting continued institutional buying momentum. Market focus has now shifted from geopolitical headlines to execution details: Trump announced the blockade will commence at 10 a.m. ET—yet repeated delays have rendered policy credibility itself a tradable variable.
According to on-chain analytics platform Lookonchain (@lookonchain), trader address 0x5ACE exited its position after holding for three months, depositing 2,540 ETH (approximately $5.56 million) into Binance and realizing a loss of roughly $2.4 million.
It is reported that Bybit’s DCA bot has integrated a flexible savings feature, enabling users to automatically earn returns on their holdings while the strategy is running—achieving dual growth through “DCA + savings.” After enabling flexible savings, assets generate interest continuously without needing to be transferred out, and DCA plans continue executing automatically per the scheduled intervals—the strategy and earnings operate independently.
According to Cointelegraph, Nic Puckrin, founder of Coin Bureau and a cryptocurrency market analyst, stated that Bitcoin’s current recovery is fragile. Geopolitical and macroeconomic pressures stemming from the Middle East conflict will dominate market trends in Q2 2026, with rate cuts not expected until Q3 or Q4 at the earliest. He noted that for BTC to reach $90,000, three conditions must simultaneously be met: easing geopolitical tensions, oil prices falling back to around $80 per barrel, and weakening economic data. BTC is currently trading at approximately $71,276, facing resistance near $74,000 and still trading below its 200-day exponential moving average. Earlier, on April 6, BTC briefly rose above $73,000 but subsequently declined following the collapse of U.S.-Iran negotiations and former U.S. President Trump’s announcement of a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. There remains disagreement within the Federal Reserve’s FOMC regarding interest rate cuts in 2026; CME FedWatch data shows over a 98% probability that rates will be held steady at both the April 29 and June 17 meetings.
According to on-chain analyst Ai Aunt (@ai9684xtpa), the wallet address 0xf4aC5a5DC1543086347D28e757091EBd1B848cCa—holding ETH for over one month—reportedly transferred 7,050 ETH to Binance two hours ago at a deposit price of $2,187. If fully sold, this move is expected to yield a profit of $1.647 million. This address previously withdrew 7,100 ETH from Binance on February 20 at an average price of $1,954; its peak unrealized profit during that period reached $2.763 million. The total value involved in this transaction is approximately $13.87 million.
According to Cointelegraph, the TRUMP token surged 50% following its March announcement of a luncheon at Mar-a-Lago but has since declined over 33% as of this Monday, currently trading at $2.80. Blockchain analytics firm Lookonchain reported that several crypto whales have recently withdrawn large quantities of TRUMP tokens from exchanges including Binance and Bybit; some individual addresses now hold over 1 million TRUMP tokens—valued at approximately $3.2 million. The luncheon is scheduled for April 25, with the top 297 TRUMP holders invited to attend, and the top 29 eligible for a private reception. CoinCarp data shows that over 91% of the token supply is concentrated in the top 10 wallets. Analysts note that limited market liquidity and high concentration of holdings amplify price volatility, and future price movements may be driven by the U.S. midterm elections and related events.
According to Cointelegraph, JP Richardson, CEO of Exodus, stated that financial institutions have accelerated their participation in the cryptocurrency market this year—including stablecoin market capitalization reaching an all-time high, Morgan Stanley launching a Bitcoin ETF, Schwab opening a waitlist for spot Bitcoin trading, Franklin Templeton establishing a cryptocurrency division, and Fannie Mae accepting Bitcoin as collateral for loans. Unlike previous cycles, institutional investors have stood out during this bull run, while retail participation has declined sharply. Data from CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost shows that inflows into small accounts holding less than 1 BTC on Binance have hit a record low, with retail activity dropping to its lowest level in nine years. Some retail investors have shifted toward equities and commodities markets. Analysts attribute the absence of retail investors primarily to the cost-of-living crisis and inflationary pressures.
According to BlockSec Phalcon, the HandlerV1 contract managed by Hyperbridge on the Ethereum network was found to contain a Merkle Mountain Range (MMR) proof replay vulnerability, resulting in approximately $242,000 in losses. The vulnerability stems from the lack of binding between proofs and requests, enabling attackers to replay historical valid proofs alongside newly forged requests to perform malicious actions—such as altering administrator privileges. In the specific incident, the attacker changed the Polkadot (DOT) token administrator and then exploited those privileges to mint additional DOT tokens for profit. Observed attack transactions include: changing the DOT token administrator and minting new tokens (losses of ~$237,400), changing the ARGN token administrator and minting new tokens (losses of ~$3,800), and host withdrawal operations. The vulnerability was discovered by PhalconSecurity and analyzed via PhalconExplorer. Previously, the Hyperbridge gateway contract was attacked, leading to the unauthorized minting and subsequent dumping of 1 billion DOT tokens on Ethereum.
According to on-chain analytics platform Lookonchain (@lookonchain), over the past 24 hours, nine newly created wallets withdrew 87.76 million Binance Coins (BNB) from Binance, worth $14.9 million.
According to PeckShieldAlert monitoring, approximately 1 billion Polkadot (DOT) tokens have been minted and dumped on the Ethereum network. Details of the incident are still under further verification. According to CertiK monitoring, the Hyperbridge gateway contract was attacked; the attacker forged messages to tamper with the admin privileges of the Polkadot token contract on Ethereum, and profited approximately $237,000 by minting and selling 1 billion tokens.
Garrett Jin, agent of “1011 Insider Whale,” published an analysis stating that the U.S. government announced a full naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, effective 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on April 13, prohibiting all vessels from entering or departing Iranian ports. This measure aims to cut off Iran’s oil revenue derived from this energy hub and reverse its current economic advantage in the ongoing conflict. Over the past six weeks, Iran has levied steep fees on vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz and restricted energy exports for certain countries, triggering significant volatility in both cryptocurrency markets and global oil prices. The U.S. action is expected to impact market risk pricing for major crypto assets, including Bitcoin and Ethereum. The analysis notes that although the U.S. holds the initiative, Iran may continue exporting oil by escalating the conflict, relying on Chinese support, and utilizing decentralized gray markets—meaning war risks and market volatility will persist.
According to on-chain analyst Yujin, over the past 20 hours, the suspected controller of BNB Life withdrew 57.88 million BNB Life tokens (approximately $9.37 million) from Binance via six wallets. Recently, the price of BNB Life surged sixfold—from $0.037 to $0.22—within half a month. Additionally, at the end of February, the same entity withdrew 59 million BNB Life tokens from Binance via two wallets. Currently, this controlling party holds approximately 116.9 million BNB Life tokens on-chain—11.7% of the total supply—with an estimated value of $21.71 million.
According to The Block, U.S. musician Garrett Dutton (stage name G. Love) lost 5.9 BTC—worth approximately $420,000—after downloading and using a counterfeit Ledger wallet app from the App Store and entering his recovery phrase. On-chain analyst ZachXBT discovered that the attacker laundered the stolen Bitcoin via the KuCoin platform. This incident once again exposes the security risks posed by fake wallet apps, reminding users to exercise heightened caution when downloading and using cryptocurrency-related applications, and to avoid entering sensitive information through unofficial channels.
