Bitcoin returns to the 78,000–79,000 USD range, ETH holds around 2,400 USD, and some altcoins surge sharply. Total open interest across the entire network experiences liquidations at high levels, and market sentiment shifts to neutral. U.S. stocks set new highs again, and demand for USD safe-haven assets declines. The BTC spot ETF has recorded net inflows for nearly 6 days, the ETH spot ETF for nearly 9 days, and stablecoin funds continue to flow in. Comprehensive analysis shows that the demand side is being repaired; corporate buying, ETF demand, and spot demand resonate to provide support. If this continues or a new consolidation range is built, the upside space toward the upper end of 80k gradually becomes apparent.

We took a trip to Silicon Valley and found that even the people creating waves are almost overwhelmed by the waves.
On the morning of March 24, 2026, I was sitting in the audience at YC W26 batch Demo Day, and when the fifth company took the stage for their presentation, I decided not to take notes anymore.
It's not that they aren't important, but I realized that what I recorded might be outdated by next month.
This batch of over a hundred companies is actually highly concentrated in their activities: about 80% are vertical agents, such as helping lawyers organize documents, assisting customer service with ticket distribution, or helping HR screen resumes.
If I had seen these projects last October, I would probably think they were "quite innovative." But the problem is, in these five months, the world has changed.

On-chain analyst Ai Yi states that the address with the largest holdings of Hyperliquid HYPE has been heavily long since October last year, currently holding about 1.38 million tokens, with a total market value of approximately $56.82 million, and an opening price of $38.675. Previously, this address was temporarily at a loss of $23.18 million, now with an unrealized profit of about $3.42 million. Due to the long holding period and large scale, the single-asset funding fee has reached $2.11M; in January, when HYPE declined, it repeatedly added margin to prevent liquidation.

The article categorizes virtual currency pyramid schemes into four typical models:
First, high-interest commissions disguised as financial management wallets;
Second, packaged as blockchain games/NFTs to charge entry fees and lure people in;
Third, fictitious staking mining/cloud computing power, where mining machines do not actually exist;
Fourth, creating their own "air coins" and raising prices by recruiting others.
It also discusses the underlying logic of practical variations and judicial recognition: examining the source of profits, the method of compensation, the flow of funds, and whether a hierarchical scale has been achieved.

Goldmoney reports that on April 26, Hong Kong SAR Financial Secretary Paul Chan Mo-po said today (the 26th) that, building on last year’s achievements, Hong Kong’s IPO fundraising amount continues to rank first globally this year. As of last week, the IPO fundraising amount in Hong Kong stocks had exceeded HKD 140 billion; from March to now, the average daily trading value for Hong Kong stocks has exceeded HKD 280 billion. These developments show that even as conditions around the world change, the development of Hong Kong’s financial markets remains unstoppable. Chan Mo-po noted that the Mainland’s upcoming May Day Golden Week is approaching. The SAR government’s Immigration Department expects that during the holiday period there will be about 980,000 person-trips of Mainland visitors to Hong Kong, an increase of about 7% compared with the same period last year. The SAR government will make thorough arrangements for supporting measures and manage passenger flow at popular attractions, hoping to provide travelers with a better experience and to ensure that industries such as catering and retail continue to benefit.

On April 18th, Kelp DAO was attacked, and approximately $292 million worth of assets were stolen. So, in a fully open on-chain system, how exactly was this money gradually "laundered" and turned into freely circulating assets?
This article uses this incident as a starting point to dissect a highly industrialized crypto money laundering pathway: from the anonymous infrastructure preparations before the attack, to cutting off on-chain links using Tornado Cash; from leveraging Aave and Compound to mortgage "toxic assets" and extract clean liquidity, to exponentially increasing the difficulty of tracing through THORChain, cross-chain bridges, and UTXO structures, ultimately flowing into Tron.

1. The Split in Market Narratives
---------
Bitcoin has been consolidating above $77k. The market's outlook for the second half of the year is highly divided.
Optimists believe that the $60k level in February marked the bottom of this bear market, and that there will be steady recovery in the second half. Cautious traders warn that new lows may still be made, with the true bottom possibly at $55k or even lower. Pessimists predict the bear market will extend until 2027.
Everyone has their own view, making consensus difficult.
A deeper issue lies in the division of methodology. Some believe the four-year cycle is still valid, and everything follows predictable patterns. Others think the cycle has been broken and a new analytical framework is needed. Still, some focus solely on macroeconomic data, believing that oil prices and the Federal Reserve determine everything.
ChainLink argues that these disagreements stem from the lack of a unified methodology.
It may be helpful to return to a basic philosophical framework: the internal cause is the root of a thing's development.

Golden Finance reported that, according to U.S. media on April 24, satellite images and videos show that Israel is carrying out systematic destruction in southern Lebanon, just as it did previously in the Palestinian Gaza Strip. The report says that Israel has not only carried out large-scale damage to civilian infrastructure in southern Lebanon, but has also mimicked the “Gaza model” by establishing a so-called “yellow line” in Lebanon; local residents who attempt to cross the “yellow line” to return home will be shot dead. U.S. media said that Israel is “Gaza-fying” southern Lebanon. (CCTV International News)

KelpDAO was subjected to a highly sophisticated state-sponsored hacker attack on April 18, 2026, resulting in losses of approximately $290 million, initially linked to North Korea's Lazarus Group TraderTraitor branch. The attack targeted poisoning of the downstream RPC infrastructure of LayerZero DVN, tampering with two node binaries and conducting RPC deception; because rsETH uses a single DVN (1/1) configuration, this asset was affected, but other assets were not impacted. LayerZero has deprecated the affected RPC, the DVN has been restored, and a forced migration to multi-DVN redundancy will be implemented. Moving forward, they will cooperate with law enforcement agencies and continue to strengthen security.
