The White House’s Council of Economic Advisers (CEA) has pushed back against claims that banning yield payments on stablecoins would materially boost bank lending, arguing the effect would be “negligible” while the consumer cost could be substantial. The analysis lands directly in the middle of a heated U.S. policy debate over whether stablecoins should be allowed to pass through interest earned on reserve assets such as Treasury bills. In an April 2026 report titled Effects of Stablecoin Yield Prohibition on Bank Lending, the CEA said its internal modeling shows that a full prohibition on...

Bitcoin (BTC) flows on Coinbase—often used as a proxy for U.S. institutional positioning—flashed a mixed signal on Wednesday, with the exchange shifting to net outflows even as the Coinbase price premium turned positive, suggesting pockets of buy-side demand alongside heightened portfolio repositioning. According to CryptoQuant data for April 9 (UTC, incomplete), Bitcoin netflow on Coinbase Advanced came in at -188 BTC, marking a sharp swing from the prior session’s +4,155 BTC net inflow. Coinbase is widely regarded as an institution-heavy venue, so net outflows are typically interpreted as...

A handful of smaller-cap tokens pushed to fresh 'all-time highs' over the past day, while another cluster slid to new 'all-time lows'—a split screen that underscores how crypto’s high-volatility market can rally and capitulate simultaneously even as major assets remain far below their peaks. Data tracking tokens with at least $10 million in market capitalization showed nine assets registering new highs, led by Libra (LIBRA), AriaAI (ARIA), iShares Core SP Total US Stock (ITOTon), syrupUSDT (syrupUSDT), and COCO (COCO). Libra was last quoted at $0.05025, sitting 1.54% below its intraday...

Ripples XRP is facing sustained bearish pressure, pulling back toward $1.33 after failing to maintain recent gains. Despite a minor uptick in inflows, selling activity continues to outweigh buying interest, suggesting that traders are using short-term rallies as exit opportunities rather than entry points. This pattern keeps the broader market structure weak and the outlook cautious. Ripple-linked ETF products recorded $3.32 million in inflows, marking a notable shift from the outflows seen throughout March. However, this capital movement has done little to stabilize XRPs price. Adding to the...

Bitcoin traded at $70,981 on Thursday, slipping 0.5% over the past 24 hours but still posting a solid 6.1% weekly gain. The dip came as a two-week ceasefire between the United States and Iran which had sparked a broad market rally just days earlier began showing signs of breaking down within 48 hours of its announcement. Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf publicly stated that three clauses of the agreement had been violated, though he did not identify which ones. Israeli military operations in Lebanon continued, and the Strait of Hormuz the strategic shipping corridor...

Bitcoins top developers have long wrestled with a painful paradox: the very upgrade designed to protect the network from quantum computer attacks could permanently lock millions of users out of their own funds. Now, a working solution may finally be within reach. Olaoluwa Roasbeef Osuntokun, CTO of Lightning Labs and one of Bitcoins most prominent engineers, published a functional prototype on April 8 via the Bitcoin developer mailing list. The tool addresses a critical blind spot in Bitcoins quantum defense strategy specifically, the so-called emergency brake mechanism that would disable...

RedStone (RED) drew heavy trader attention in Korea on Wednesday ET as turnover surged and sentiment flashed 'extreme greed'—even as the token finished the session lower, underscoring the risk of sharper short-term swings. In Upbit’s KRW market, RED last changed hands at 260 won (KRW), down 4.41% (12 won) from the previous day. The token opened around 271 won, briefly extended to an intraday high of 279 won, then reversed as selling pressure picked up, sliding to a low near 252 won before settling back near 260 won. Over the past 24 hours, trading value totaled about 44.70 billion won,...

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is calling on Congress to pass landmark federal cryptocurrency legislation, warning that regulatory uncertainty is pushing blockchain innovation and investment out of the United States. In a Wall Street Journal op-ed, Bessent backed the Clarity Act a crypto market structure bill designed to establish clear, nationwide rules for digital assets. Bessent argued that the absence of a defined regulatory framework has had a measurable impact on where crypto businesses choose to operate. Jurisdictions like Abu Dhabi and Singapore, which offer transparent compliance...

Capital flows across major crypto assets turned sharply selective over the past day, with Bitcoin (BTC) standing out as one of the few large-cap tokens to post net inflows while stablecoins—especially USD Coin (USDC)—saw heavy withdrawals. According to data from Cryptometer, as of April 9 at 12:00 a.m. ET (04:00 UTC), Bitcoin recorded approximately $26.6 million in net inflows over the past 24 hours, maintaining a modest but consistent bid relative to other top assets. The inflow came as several key markets showed net selling pressure, highlighting a narrow risk appetite concentrated around...
