Castle Island Ventures partner Nick Carter warned that elliptic curve cryptography will soon become completely obsolete. He predicts this will happen in the next three to 10 years, and it's time for the industry to accept this fact.
The investor believes blockchain developers urgently need to improve the security and adaptability of network algorithms. He praised the Ethereum team, which has gotten ahead of Bitcoin in preparing for the quantum threat by making this a strategic priority.

The Federal Reserve is adding $8.071 billion in liquidity to the system.
The Federal Reserve calls this technical management, but the market sees hidden easing.
This is fuel for cryptocurrencies, as excess liquidity often flows into risky assets.

The global money supply (M2) is approaching $120 trillion, maintaining its upward trend.
Historically, a rise in M2 is followed by a bullish trend for BTC, which occurs with a lag of 2-3 months.
The current increase in M2 could serve as a catalyst for BTC growth.

In 2009, mining 1,309 BTC cost $1.
Now those 1,309 BTC are worth almost $90 million.

In February and March, the Coinbase Premium metric recovered from negative values, reflecting a capitulation in Bitcoin demand from US investors. However, the indicator has not yet consolidated in the positive range and is hovering near neutral territory.

USDT has lost its status as the dominant stablecoin, with USDC transaction volume consistently above 50% since the beginning of 2026.
These changes in the segment have also affected the blockchains that support stablecoin payments: last month, Solana became the top stablecoin blockchain, displacing TRON and Ethereum, according to Visa data. This month, Ethereum remains the leader, followed by Solana and TRON, respectively.

6 years ago, the first block was generated on the Solana network.
Since then, the project has evolved from an ambitious startup to one of the crypto market leaders.
Despite a 70% decline in SOL's price from its peak, the project remains seventh in market capitalization among all cryptocurrencies.

Vitalik Buterin proposed simplifying the launch of nodes on the Ethereum network by consolidating the programs for node interaction with the Beacon Chain and execution layer into a single code structure.
Currently, validators use two separate programs. Their combined configuration and data coordination pose a high technical barrier. Due to these complexities, ordinary users are forced to abandon the idea of ​​launching the infrastructure themselves and turn to third-party services.

Large Bitcoin holders (10-10,000 BTC) have begun to increase their positions in the asset again, potentially signaling a positive reversal in the price trend. However, retail traders are not giving up, aggressively buying up the dips, according to Sentiment analysts.

The recovery in stablecoin market capitalization is fueling liquidity in the crypto market. After a brief pause, the total supply is returning to its late 2025 peak of over $314 billion.

Vitalik Buterin shared his opinion on the functions of blockchains.

Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino noted the low concentration of USDT among large holders and its high decentralization. The largest organization sends less than 5% of the total transaction volume on average, while other issuers account for as much as 23%.
Tether currently has over 550 million users, Ardoino noted.

XRP ETFs have attracted $1.4 billion since their launch in the fall of 2025. However, this has not yet led to an increase in the value of the asset itself.
Goldman Sachs is currently the largest public holder with $153 million.

Nvidia-backed startup Starcloud plans to begin mining Bitcoin in low-Earth orbit. According to CEO Philip Johnston, the first miner will be installed on the company's second spacecraft by the end of 2026.
"Space offers an endless supply of solar energy, which solves the problem of high electricity costs on Earth. The vacuum and cold of orbit help dissipate heat efficiently," the company's CEO noted.

Experts on Twitter note that Bitcoin is poised for its first expansion since 2017 relative to the M1 money supply. The BTC/M1 pair broke through a six-year resistance level, reaching a new all-time high. The price is currently recovering from a recent test of the level.
The M1 money supply is funds that can be used immediately: cash and funds in accounts and cards.

Paraguayan authorities have decided to launch Bitcoin mining using equipment confiscated from illegal mining operators. Morphware has signed an agreement with the National Electricity Authority (ANDE) to conduct a technical assessment and develop specific projects as part of the initiative.
Engineer and energy expert Nelson Cristaldo told DL News that this is still only an assessment. The seized equipment is typically a couple of generations old, so it will be extremely difficult to profit from it, he explained.

Vitalik Buterin believes that next-generation wallets will actively utilize AI, but trusting language models to manage large amounts is still too risky.
In his opinion, a secure scheme should look like this: AI proposes an action plan, a lightweight local client simulates it, the user verifies the result, and only then manually confirms the transaction, prioritizing security.
