What crypto market players have been talking about

✅ The cryptocurrency market’s total capitalization recently climbed to $2.4 trillion, its highest level in recent days. The rise followed comments by U.S. President Donald Trump about the negotiations with Iran and a possible end to the military conflict in the Middle East. Earlier, Mike McGlone of Bloomberg Intelligence said bitcoin could collapse to $10,000 in 2026. “Prove me wrong - stay above $75,000. Before the biggest money pump in history in 2020-21, Bitcoin hovered around $10,000, and it may be reverting. Roughly $10,000 is also the first-born crypto's most traded price since 2017, when futures were launched,” McGlone posted. Bitcoin is trading near $70,000, up about 4% over the past 24 hours.

✅ IT specialists from North Korea have been working for prominent decentralized finance projects. This has been happening for at least seven years, according to MetaMask developer Taylor Monahan. Among the projects that NK operatives may have infiltrated are SushiSwap, THORChain, Fantom, Shib, and Floki. Monahan was responding to a post by Titan founder Tim Ahhl, who said that at a previous job, he interviewed a candidate who later turned out to be linked to the Lazarus Group hacking organization. “He did video calls and was extremely qualified. We invited him for in person interviews and he ultimately declined to fly out, so we passed. Only later did we find his name in a Lazarus info dump,” Ahhl shared.

✅ In the first quarter of 2026, capital inflows into the cryptocurrency market fell sharply, according to JPMorgan. The bank’s analysts said total funding into digital assets over the three-month period amounted to about $11 billion. That is almost three times lower than in the same period of 2025. If the current pace of capital inflows continues, full-year inflows would total around $44 billion, well below last year’s $130 billion.

👁️ Payment confirmation and exchange delays: how understanding the process saves time and reduces stress

A BestChange user created and paid for an order with an exchange service found on our platform.

The payment system used by the exchange service did not automatically register the user’s transaction. To complete the exchange, the payment needed to be confirmed manually, so the exchanger requested supporting documents from the user.

Expectation:

The user clarified which specific details would be suitable to confirm the payment—a bank statement, receipt, the transaction’s RRN (Retrieval Reference Number), payment status, and settlement timeframe—and promptly requested these from their bank.
The user then submitted the information to the exchange service. The service identified and confirmed the transaction and completed the exchange within 15 minutes.

🟢 Processing time: 15 minutes.


Reality:

1️⃣ The user considered the request excessive and refused to provide the information.
2️⃣ Throughout the day, the user repeatedly contacted both the exchange service and BestChange support, insisting that since the funds had already been debited, the exchange should be completed without additional requirements.
3️⃣ The exchange service was unable to proceed, as the transaction required manual identification through the payment provider.
4️⃣ We clarified the situation with the exchange service and confirmed the issue.
5️⃣ Then, we explained to the user the reasons for the request and the verification procedure, and outlined what information could be provided. We also emphasized that such requests are part of a standard procedure and are handled in accordance with security and confidentiality requirements.
6️⃣ Only toward the end of the day did the user accept the explanation. Then they submitted the information to the exchange service. The service identified and confirmed the transaction and completed the exchange within 15 minutes.

Processing time: 1 business day + 15 minutes

🥰 Conclusion:

Even standard procedures can raise concern when users encounter them for the first time. That is why, in our ‘Case Studies’ series, we break down real scenarios and explain such situations in advance—so your exchanges proceed with a clear understanding of the process, and therefore without unnecessary delays.

Recent developments in the cryptocurrency industry
​
🖱️ Over the past few days, Bitcoin has gained roughly 7%. According to CoinMarketCap, the leading cryptocurrency is now trading at around $71,700. Ethereum has risen by more than 6%, reaching $2,190. As analysts at CryptoQuant previously noted, the rally in digital assets followed Donald Trump’s statement on a two-week ceasefire between the United States and Iran. In their view, this triggered a stronger cryptocurrency price surge in just 24 hours than the market had seen in over a month. CryptoQuant also said that open interest in perpetual Bitcoin and Ethereum futures increased by $2.1 billion and $2.2 billion, respectively.

🖱️ Stablecoins are gradually evolving from a niche asset into a core instrument in the international payments market. Over the next 10 years, the volume of transfers conducted in such currencies could reach $1.5 quadrillion, according to analysts at Chainalysis. “The great wealth transfer is here, and it’s bringing crypto with it. Between 2028 and 2048, an estimated $100 trillion will likely move to younger, crypto-native generations,” the analysts said. They also suggested that stablecoin payment volumes could match those of Visa and Mastercard by the end of the year.

👩‍💻 The New York Times claims that bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto is most likely British cryptographer and Blockstream co-founder Adam Back. The new investigation involved a large-scale analysis of more than 130,000 messages from old mailing lists featuring both Nakamoto and Back. In the investigation conducted by journalist John Carreyrou, the analysis compared writing style, spelling, choice of epithets, and other linguistic markers. As a result, the author concluded that Back is the most likely creator of the flagship cryptocurrency. Back himself, however, denies the claim. According to the entrepreneur, all of the so-called evidence is merely coincidental.

👀 Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT)

The ability of a system to continue operating correctly and reach consensus even if some participants make mistakes, send false information, or act maliciously. The system remains secure as long as malicious or faulty participants make up less than one-third of the total number.

In blockchains, Byzantine fault tolerance is achieved through consensus mechanisms: nodes verify one another and reach agreement without needing to trust each other directly. This allows the system to function correctly even when some participants provide conflicting or false information.

The term “Byzantine” comes from the Byzantine Generals Problem. This is a logical problem in which several generals surrounding a city must decide together whether to attack or retreat. They communicate through messengers, but some generals or messengers may be traitors or deliver false information.

Digital asset market developments at the start of the week

👩‍💻 Bitcoin fell below the $71,000 mark following the failed U.S.-Iran peace talks held in Islamabad on April 12. However, some analysts say there is no immediate reason for panic. The flagship cryptocurrency remains relatively resilient, holding above key technical support levels, as investors continue to view it as a digital hedge amid the risk of escalating tensions in the Persian Gulf.

👩‍💻 Meanwhile, Bitcoin Depot reported a cyberattack on its corporate infrastructure. According to the company, hackers stole credentials for settlement accounts in late March and withdrew approximately 50.9 BTC from its wallets, with losses estimated at around $3.6 million. Bitcoin Depot said the breach was limited to its internal systems and did not affect customer data or the operation of its ATM network, which includes more than 25,000 machines and BDCheckout service points worldwide.

👩‍💻 Justin Sun has criticized the crypto project World Liberty Financial, which is linked to the Trump family, calling it “a trap door marketed as an open door.” Sun, who previously invested about $75 million in WLFI tokens, said key risks had not been disclosed to investors. “What was never disclosed—to me or to any investor—is that World Liberty embedded a backdoor blacklisting function in the smart contract used to deploy WLFI tokens. This function gives the Company unilateral power to freeze, restrict, and effectively confiscate the property rights of any token holder, without notice, without cause, and without recourse,” Sun posted.

👁️ Older BTC addresses at risk: Bitcoin network upgrade and protection against quantum attacks

The crypto community is debating one of the most radical proposals in recent years—a Bitcoin network upgrade that could directly affect holders of older wallets.

The proposal outli nes the transition to post-quantum cryptography under BIP-361, designed to prepare the network in advance for the arrival of quantum computers that could target Bitcoin’s current signatures.

📱 What Bitcoin developers are proposing

➡️ Phase A disallows sending funds to old, and therefore vulnerable, addresses. The estimated implementation timeline is three years.
➡️ Phase B completely shuts down the current signature algorithms (ECDSA and Schnorr). All legacy wallets that have not been upgraded could lose the ability to spend their funds. This phase is expected to begin two years after Phase A.
➡️ Phase C involves quantum-safe recovery of legacy addresses. One option under consideration is proof of possession through a corresponding seed phrase, although the mechanism has not yet been finalized, and no implementation date has been set.

Why is this being discussed now?

Developers cite several reasons, including:

👩‍💻 quantum technologies are advancing faster than expected;
👩‍💻 34% of BTC is already potentially vulnerable because of exposed public keys;
👩‍💻 a quantum attack could go unnoticed, with stolen funds being moved only later and in small amounts;
👩‍💻 the ecosystem needs time to upgrade, and without a clear deadline, the process could drag on.

For now, this is only a proposal; any real implementation remains a long way off. But the very fact that it has emerged suggests that serious preparations are beginning for a new category of risk.

And what is your take? Would the proposed upgrade protect the market, or create new problems?

Recent developments in the cryptocurrency market

✅ The market has entered a prolonged ‘crypto winter,’ according to a report by CoinGecko. The downturn has been driven by a sharp decline in asset prices, reduced trading activity, and worsening investor sentiment in Q1 2026. CoinGecko analysts believe the crypto sector has come under pressure amid a sustained bearish trend since late 2025, driven by global geopolitical tensions and macroeconomic uncertainty. The total cryptocurrency market capitalization fell by 20% in the first three months of the year, and the industry has been struggling to recover since then.

✅ Circle co-founder Jeremy Allaire sees ‘tremendous opportunity’ for a yuan-backed stablecoin. He suggested that China could launch such a product within three to five years, despite its generally strict stance on cryptocurrencies. Circle also expects continued growth for its USDC, particularly amid the U.S.–Iran conflict and broader geopolitical risks. Allaire highlights that China wants to expand the role of the yuan in the global financial system, and stablecoins have become a tool for ‘exporting’ currencies by simplifying cross-border payments.

✅ Bitcoin is currently trading near the $75,000 level. On-chain data indicates significant investor accumulation, even as the asset has repeatedly faced resistance around $70,000. Pseudonymous analyst Crypto Patel said that large holders have purchased around 270,000 BTC over the past 30 days, marking the most substantial accumulation phase since 2013.

🙃 Hash function

A mathematical algorithm that converts input data of any size (such as a word, password, phrase, array, or file) into a fixed-length output string. In the crypto space, hash functions are used:

- to form and verify blocks in a blockchain;
- to link new blocks to previous ones;
- in mining, to find a valid value when creating a new block;
- to generate transaction identifiers.
