Veteran Investor Projects Bitcoin Rally to $180,000 as Stablecoin Sector Eyes Explosive Growth
Prominent macro investor Dan Tapiero has issued a bold forecast for Bitcoin's trajectory through 2026, projecting the flagship cryptocurrency could surge to $180,000 as institutional adoption continues to accelerate and stablecoin infrastructure matures into a cornerstone of global finance.
Tapiero, founder of Gold Bullion International and managing partner at 10T Holdings, outlined his bullish thesis during recent market commentary, emphasizing that Bitcoin's current consolidation phase around the psychologically significant $100,000 level represents a natural digestion period before the next major leg higher.
Technical Framework Points to Substantial Upside
The seasoned investor's analysis centers on a classic cup-and-handle formation developing in Bitcoin's price structure. According to Tapiero's technical assessment, a decisive break above $115,000 would confirm the pattern and potentially trigger accelerated momentum toward $150,000 in the near term, with $180,000 representing a measured move target that aligns with historical cycle peak ratios.
"This follows the pattern we've observed across previous Bitcoin cycles," Tapiero explained in his analysis. "The 2017 peak hit approximately $21,000, which was followed by a triple to $60,000 in 2021. The same multiple from that level projects to roughly $180,000 for this cycle."
The $115,000 level functions as critical resistance in this framework, marking what technical analysts refer to as the "handle breakout" that would validate the bullish continuation pattern. Market participants are closely monitoring this threshold as Bitcoin currently trades in the mid-$90,000 range following October's sharp correction from all-time highs above $126,000.

Institutional Demand Reshapes Market Dynamics
Behind the technical picture lies a fundamental transformation in Bitcoin's investor base. The #cryptocurrency landscape entering 2026 bears little resemblance to previous cycles, driven largely by unprecedented institutional engagement.
Major financial institutions have moved beyond tentative exploration into active integration of digital assets. Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong recently disclosed that his platform maintains a consistent Bitcoin accumulation strategy, executing weekly purchases as part of corporate treasury operations. This reflects broader trends across corporate America, where over 172 publicly traded companies now hold Bitcoin positions, collectively controlling approximately 1 million —roughly 5% of circulating supply.
The approval and subsequent success of spot Bitcoin ETFs has fundamentally altered supply dynamics. Since their January 2024 launch, U.S. Bitcoin ETFs have absorbed new Bitcoin issuance at double the rate of mining production, with BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust alone attracting approximately $25 billion in net inflows through 2025.
"The shift we're seeing is profound," noted market analyst Cory Klippsten of Swan.com. "As supply moves into ETF structures, corporate treasuries, and long-term institutional holders, an increasing portion simply stops circulating. The market is still adjusting to what this means for price discovery."
Stablecoins Emerge as Breakout Application
While Bitcoin dominates headlines, Tapiero and other industry observers point to stablecoins as the crypto sector's most transformative near-term development. These dollar-pegged digital assets are transitioning from niche crypto infrastructure to mainstream financial tools with tangible real-world utility.
The numbers tell a compelling story. Stablecoin transaction volumes surged through 2025, with mentions on U.S. corporate earnings calls increasing more than tenfold year-over-year. Circle's successful summer IPO catalyzed broader visibility and legitimacy for the sector, while the passage of the GENIUS Act in late 2025 established clear regulatory parameters for stablecoin issuance and reserves.
"Stablecoins represent something fundamentally different from speculative crypto assets," according to digital asset consultant Austin Campbell, who teaches at NYU Stern. "They're a superior infrastructure for moving money—faster, cheaper, and more accessible than traditional bank transfers or wire systems. Banks are beginning to recognize that fighting stablecoins is like fighting the internet itself."
Major financial institutions are responding accordingly. JPMorgan's Kinexys platform is piloting tokenized deposit and stablecoin settlement infrastructure for institutional clients, while Citi has accelerated its tokenization roadmap. SoFi became the first U.S. chartered bank to offer direct digital asset trading from customer accounts, signaling a broader integration of crypto capabilities into traditional banking services.
The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency granted conditional approvals for five national trust bank charters tied to digital assets—BitGo, Circle, Fidelity Digital Assets, Paxos, and Ripple—effectively bringing stablecoin and custody infrastructure inside the federal banking perimeter with institutional-grade compliance standards.
Navigating Near-Term Uncertainty
Despite the optimistic long-term outlook, Tapiero acknowledges significant volatility remains likely in the near term. The veteran investor, who brings 25 years of traditional market experience to his crypto analysis, cautions that Bitcoin's boom-and-bust cycle hasn't disappeared despite increased liquidity and institutional participation.
"Markets don't move in straight lines," Tapiero observed. "Even in a more mature environment, Bitcoin remains capable of substantial corrections. We could see drawdowns of 70% from peak levels—that's simply the nature of this asset class."
Options markets reflect this uncertainty, currently pricing roughly equal probability of Bitcoin trading at $70,000 or $130,000 by mid-2026, with year-end ranges spanning from $50,000 to $250,000. This massive variance band underscores persistent questions around monetary policy trajectory, leverage conditions, and the sustainability of recent ETF-driven demand.
Nevertheless, Tapiero maintains conviction in Bitcoin's longer-term value proposition. In previous interviews, he projected Bitcoin could reach $1 million within a decade, characterizing this as a "minimum" expectation for patient holders with a sufficiently long time horizon.
Regulatory Clarity Drives Institutional Confidence
The regulatory landscape represents both an accelerant and a wildcard for crypto's 2026 prospects. While the GENIUS Act provided crucial clarity for stablecoins, broader market structure legislation remains stalled in Congress, creating continued uncertainty for risk-averse institutions despite a more crypto-friendly administrative posture.
Securities and Exchange Commission leadership under Chair Paul Atkins has signaled openness to tokenization as a mechanism for modernizing U.S. capital markets. BlackRock CEO Larry Fink has championed similar themes, describing tokenization as "the next generation for markets" during recent earnings calls.
Real-world asset tokenization is gaining commercial traction, with JPMorgan's OnChain Net Yield Fund issuing tokenized shares of traditional money market funds on Ethereum. This fusion of traditional finance instruments with blockchain infrastructure represents the type of integration that industry observers expect to accelerate through 2026.
Survey data indicates institutional appetite remains strong despite recent market turbulence. Approximately 76% of global institutional investors plan to expand digital asset exposure in 2026, with 60% expecting allocations to exceed 5% of assets under management.
Challenges and Opportunities Ahead
The crypto market's evolution from fringe speculation to institutional asset class brings both opportunities and complications. On one hand, increased liquidity, clearer regulation, and sophisticated market infrastructure should theoretically reduce extreme volatility. On the other, crypto's integration with traditional finance means greater correlation with equity markets and macroeconomic conditions.
Bitcoin's correlation with the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 index has more than doubled through 2025, suggesting the cryptocurrency increasingly trades as a risk asset influenced by Federal Reserve policy, inflation expectations, and broader market sentiment rather than as an independent digital commodity.
The convergence of artificial intelligence and blockchain technology represents another frontier gaining attention from institutional capital. Tapiero disclosed that 10T Holdings plans to allocate approximately 20% of its new fund—currently in capital-raising mode through 2026—to companies operating at the intersection of AI and blockchain, despite acknowledging that relatively few ventures in this category have reached scale.
"Over the next five years, this space will become a category unto itself," Tapiero predicted, though he noted that near-term investment opportunities remain somewhat limited as the sector develops.
Looking Forward
As Bitcoin consolidates around $100,000 and the broader crypto infrastructure matures, market participants face a landscape markedly different from previous cycles. The presence of spot ETFs, corporate treasury adoption, sovereign interest, and banking integration suggests a permanence to digital assets that earlier boom-bust cycles lacked.
Whether Bitcoin reaches Tapiero's $180,000 target in 2026 remains uncertain—options markets indicate the market itself is deeply divided on near-term direction. But the structural changes underway in crypto infrastructure, regulatory frameworks, and institutional adoption appear irreversible.
Stablecoins transitioning into mainstream payment rails, traditional assets migrating on-chain through tokenization, and major financial institutions building crypto capabilities into core banking products all point to digital assets moving beyond speculative trading into fundamental financial infrastructure.
For long-term participants willing to weather continued volatility, the institutional adoption thesis appears increasingly validated. For those seeking quick profits from speculative price movements, 2026 may prove as challenging as Tapiero's technical analysis suggests—requiring patience as the market digests the $100,000 level before any sustained move toward higher targets.
The crypto market's maturation is evident not in the elimination of volatility, but in the growing irrelevance of that volatility to the sector's long-term trajectory. Whether #bitcoin trades at $70,000 or $150,000 in six months matters far less than whether stablecoins continue displacing traditional payment systems, whether tokenization reshapes capital markets, and whether institutional adoption accelerates.
On those metrics, the indicators remain decidedly bullish—even as near-term price action keeps traders guessing.

Trump Bitcoin Statue Sparks Debate Outside US Capitol Amid Fed Rate Cut.
A striking 12-foot golden #Trumpbitcoinstatue has been unveiled outside the US Capitol, drawing both supporters and critics. The statue, funded by #cryptocurrency investors, shows former President Donald #TRUMP holding a Bitcoin in his right hand, symbolizing the growing intersection between politics and digital finance.
The timing of the installation was deliberate. The Federal Reserve announced a 25-basis-point interest rate cut on the same day, lowering its key short-term rate from 4.3% to roughly 4.1%. This is the first rate reduction since December, and Fed officials signaled that more cuts may follow this year amid concerns about the U.S. labor market.
Organizers said the statue was designed to encourage public debate on the future of money in America. “This is not only about Trump, but about the broader question of how digital currencies will shape monetary policy and financial sovereignty,” said Hichem Zaghdoudi, a representative of the group behind the project.
The installation has sparked heated conversations. Supporters see the statue as a symbol of financial innovation and resistance to traditional banking systems, while critics view it as political theater at a sensitive economic moment.
As digital assets like #bitcoin gain traction in global finance, the Trump Bitcoin statue stands as a provocative reminder of the shifting balance between government policy and decentralized technologies.

Selective Surge: Altseason 2025 Ushers in a New Era for Altcoins
As Altseason 2025 unfolds, analysts emphasize a shift towards selective growth, highlighting that only altcoins with strong fundamentals and institutional backing are poised to thrive in this evolving market landscape.
Selective Surge: Altseason 2025 Ushers in a New Era for Altcoins
The #CryptocurrencyMarket is experiencing a transformative phase as Altseason 2025 takes shape. Unlike previous cycles characterized by widespread gains across #altcoins , the current landscape is marked by a more discerning rally, where only select altcoins with robust fundamentals and institutional support are capturing investor attention.
A New Definition of Altseason
Ki Young Ju, CEO of CryptoQuant, asserts that the traditional dynamics of altcoin seasons have evolved. In a recent statement, he emphasized that the era of indiscriminate altcoin surges is over, giving way to a "selective altseason." Ju identifies three critical factors for altcoin success in this cycle: potential for exchange-traded fund (#ETF ) approvals, sustainable revenue models, and consistent investor engagement.
Market Indicators Signal Caution
While some analysts predict significant gains, with daily increases of up to 40% becoming the "new normal," others urge caution. Analyst 2Lambroz notes a lack of strong narratives and retail investor participation, suggesting that the current rally may not mirror the exuberance of past cycles.
Institutional Influence and ETF Approvals
The growing interest from institutional investors is reshaping the altcoin market. Bloomberg analysts estimate high probabilities for ETF approvals for altcoins $LTC , $DOGE, $SOL , and $XRP Such developments could significantly boost these altcoins, but many smaller projects may not experience similar benefits.
Conclusion
#altcoinseason 2025 represents a departure from previous cycles, emphasizing quality over quantity. Investors are advised to focus on altcoins with solid fundamentals, institutional backing, and clear use cases, as the market rewards discernment in this new era of selective growth.

Bitcoin's Strategic Ascent: U.S. Embraces Crypto Amid Market Milestones
The U.S. government's formal adoption of Bitcoin as a strategic reserve marks a pivotal shift in financial policy, coinciding with significant market movements and regulatory developments in the #crypto landscape.

Bitcoin's Strategic Ascent: U.S. Embraces Crypto Amid Market Milestones
In a landmark move, the #UnitedStates government has officially recognized Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset. This decision, underscored by President Donald Trump's recent executive order, signals a transformative shift in the nation's financial strategy and its stance on digital currencies.
U.S. Government's Bitcoin Reserve Initiative
On March 6, President Trump signed an executive order establishing a Strategic #bitcoin Reserve and a Digital Asset Stockpile. This initiative aims to consolidate and manage the federal government's digital asset holdings, particularly Bitcoin acquired through criminal and civil asset forfeiture proceedings. David Sacks, the White House's crypto czar, emphasized Bitcoin's scarcity and long-term value, stating that the government views it as a strategic asset for the nation's financial future.
Market Reactions and Price Movements
Following the announcement, Bitcoin experienced a 6% price drop, falling from $90,400 to $84,979. Analysts attribute this decline to investor expectations of immediate government purchases of Bitcoin, which were not part of the initial plan. Despite the short-term dip, experts like Joe Burnett from Unchained view the establishment of the Bitcoin reserve as a significant step toward integrating Bitcoin into the global financial system.
Regulatory Developments and Global Implications
The U.S. government's move has sparked discussions worldwide about the role of digital assets in national financial strategies. While some countries, like South Korea, are taking a cautious approach, the U.S.'s proactive stance may influence other nations to consider similar measures.
Conclusion
The United States' formal recognition of #BTC as a strategic reserve asset marks a significant milestone in the integration of digital currencies into national financial systems. As the global financial landscape continues to evolve, this move may set a precedent for other countries to follow, potentially reshaping the future of digital asset adoption and regulation.

Bitcoin’s $1B Daily Profits Hint at Bull Market's Peak
As Bitcoin investors realize $1 billion in daily profits, analysts suggest the bull market may be approaching its final stages.
Bitcoin's $1B Daily Profits Signal Potential Bull Market Climax
#bitcoin (#BTC ) investors are currently realizing approximately $1 billion in profits daily, a level reminiscent of late-stage bull markets. This surge in profit-taking coincides with BTC's price nearing $98,000, raising concerns about a possible market correction.
$BTC
On-chain analytics firm CryptoQuant reports that the 7-day moving average of realized profits has reached levels last seen in late 2024. Analyst Kripto Mevsimi notes that such aggressive profit-taking is historically consistent with the final phases of bull markets, where selling pressure increases even as prices climb.
Despite the influx of institutional investors through spot Bitcoin ETFs, such as #blackRock iShares Bitcoin Trust, CryptoQuant suggests that investor behavior remains unchanged. The tendency to lock in gains during price surges persists, indicating that market psychology continues to play a significant role in #Bitcoinprice dynamics.
While the current profit-taking trend doesn't guarantee an immediate downturn, it serves as a cautionary signal. Investors and analysts alike are closely monitoring these developments, recognizing that sustained high levels of realized profits have historically preceded market corrections.

كندا تتبنى العملات المشفرة: التنقل في مشهد الأصول الرقمية في 2025
بينما تواصل كندا تعزيز مكانتها في الاقتصاد الرقمي العالمي، وصلت مشاركة الأمة في العملات المشفرة إلى مستويات غير مسبوقة في عام 2025. مع استثمار جزء كبير من السكان في الأصول الرقمية، تشهد كندا تحولاً جذرياً في paradigms المالية.

Bitcoin Surges Past $94K Amid ETF Inflows and Easing Trade Tensions
#Bitcoinprice climbs to a two-month high as record ETF inflows and positive geopolitical developments boost investor confidence.
$BTC
#bitcoin (#BTC ) has surged to $94,510, marking its highest level in nearly two months. This significant uptick is attributed to a combination of robust institutional investment, favorable geopolitical signals, and bullish market indicators.
Record-Breaking ETF Inflows
On April 22, U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) experienced unprecedented daily inflows totaling $1.29 billion—the largest since November 2024. This surge reflects growing institutional confidence in Bitcoin as a long-term asset. The influx of capital into these ETFs underscores the increasing demand for regulated Bitcoin investment vehicles.
Geopolitical Developments Boost Market Sentiment
Investor sentiment received a further boost following comments from former President Donald Trump, who indicated a willingness to ease tariffs on Chinese goods and affirmed his support for Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. These statements alleviated concerns over U.S.-China trade tensions, leading to rallies in global markets, including the S&P 500 and Nasdaq, which gained over 2.5%.
Short Liquidations Amplify Price Movement
The recent price surge triggered significant liquidations in the Bitcoin futures market. Over the past 24 hours, approximately $321.78 million worth of short positions were liquidated, forcing bearish traders to buy back BTC at higher prices, thereby accelerating the upward momentum.
Technical Indicators Signal Further Gains
From a technical perspective, Bitcoin has broken out of a falling wedge pattern, a bullish reversal indicator. Additionally, BTC has avoided forming a "death cross," where the 50-day moving average falls below the 200-day moving average—a pattern typically associated with bearish trends. These technical factors suggest potential for further gains, with analysts eyeing a target of approximately $102,700 in the near term.
Conclusion
The convergence of substantial #etf inflows, positive geopolitical developments, and favorable technical indicators has propelled Bitcoin to new heights. As institutional interest continues to grow and market conditions remain supportive, Bitcoin may be poised to challenge the $100,000 threshold in the coming weeks.

Google Enforces MiCA Compliance for Crypto Ads in Europe
Google mandates MiCA licensing for #crypto advertisers in the EU starting April 23, 2025, aiming to enhance regulatory compliance and investor protection.
Google Enforces MiCA Compliance for Crypto Ads in Europe
Starting April 23, 2025, #Google will implement a new advertising policy requiring cryptocurrency exchanges and wallet providers targeting European users to obtain licenses under the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework or the Crypto Asset Service Provider (CASP) regulation. This policy aims to align with the European Union's efforts to establish a standardized regulatory environment for digital assets.
Advertisers must also comply with local legal requirements, including any national-level restrictions beyond #MiCA , and secure certification from Google. The policy will be enforced across most EU countries, including France, Germany, and Italy.
To facilitate compliance, Google will issue a warning at least seven days before suspending any non-compliant accounts. This grace period is intended to provide advertisers with an opportunity to meet the new requirements.
Industry experts view this move as a double-edged sword. While it enhances investor protection by filtering out unregulated actors, there are concerns about the potential challenges for smaller exchanges. Hon Ng, Chief Legal Officer at Bitget, noted that smaller exchanges may struggle with MiCA's capital requirements and the bureaucratic hurdles of dual certification.
This development follows Google's recent update to its crypto advertising policy in the UK, which, effective January 15, 2025, requires advertisers to register with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). The UK policy also differentiates between software and hardware wallets, allowing ads for hardware wallets without FCA registration if they solely store private keys and do not facilitate trading or exchange services.
As the digital asset landscape evolves, Google's policy changes reflect a broader commitment to regulatory compliance and consumer protection in the #cryptocurrency sector.

Solana’s DeFi Metrics Surge Amidst Market Volatility
Despite recent price fluctuations, Solana’s #DeFi ecosystem exhibits robust growth, with TVL and #DEX volumes reaching significant milestones.
In the dynamic world of decentralized finance (DeFi), Solana’s network has recently demonstrated remarkable resilience and growth, even as its native token, #SOL , experienced a 9% decline between March 28 and April 4. This downturn coincided with the unlocking of 1.79 million SOL tokens on April 4, valued at over $200 million, which were initially staked in April 2021 when SOL traded around $23.
$SOL
Despite this price dip, Solana’s DeFi ecosystem has flourished. The total value locked (TVL) in Solana’s decentralized applications (DApps) surged to 53.8 million SOL by April 2, marking a 14% increase from the previous month. In USD terms, this equates to approximately $6.5 billion, positioning Solana ahead of competitors like BNB Chain by $780 million. Leading DApps contributing to this growth include Jito (liquid staking), Jupiter (a prominent decentralized exchange), and Kamino (a lending and liquidity platform).
Furthermore, #solana has solidified its stance in the decentralized exchange (DEX) market, capturing a 24% market share. This performance surpasses BNB Chain’s 12% and Base’s 10%, underscoring Solana’s robust infrastructure and scalability. Such achievements highlight the network’s capacity to maintain user engagement and transaction volumes, even amidst broader market challenges.
However, the network has not been without criticism. Concerns regarding maximum extractable value (MEV) practices have been raised, pointing to potential transaction reordering by validators for profit. Discussions within the community suggest solutions like encrypting transactions before they enter the mempool to mitigate such issues.
In summary, while SOL’s price has faced recent pressures, the underlying DeFi metrics paint a picture of a network on the rise. Solana’s emphasis on scalability, combined with a growing suite of DApps and a proactive approach to challenges, positions it as a formidable contender in the DeFi landscape.

US Crypto Leaders Advocate for Stablecoin Regulations Ahead of Tax Reforms
Industry experts urge the US to establish clear #stablecoin regulations before implementing crypto tax reforms to foster innovation and maintain global competitiveness.
As the United States positions itself at the forefront of the cryptocurrency revolution, industry leaders are emphasizing the need for comprehensive stablecoin regulations prior to enacting tax reforms. Mattan Erder, General Counsel at Orbs, asserts that addressing securities laws and banking obstacles should take precedence over tax considerations to unlock the full potential of the crypto sector.
The recent executive order by President #DonaldTrump on March 7, directing the establishment of a national #bitcoin reserve using seized crypto assets, underscores the administration's commitment to digital assets. Despite this, concerns about "debanking" persist. Caitlin Long, CEO of Custodia Bank, warns that crypto firms may continue to face banking access challenges until at least January 2026, highlighting the need for regulatory clarity to foster financial inclusion.
$BTC
David Pakman, Managing Partner at CoinFund, believes that a well-defined stablecoin framework could encourage traditional financial institutions to adopt blockchain-based payment systems. He notes that impending legislation, such as the GENIUS Act (Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins), could integrate traditional finance with crypto innovations, promoting a more efficient financial ecosystem.
The GENIUS Act aims to establish collateralization guidelines for stablecoin issuers and ensure compliance with Anti-Money Laundering laws. Bo Hines, Executive Director of the President’s Council of Advisers on Digital Assets, anticipates that such legislation could be enacted within the next two months, marking a significant step toward comprehensive #crypto regulation in the US.
In summary, US crypto leaders are advocating for the prioritization of stablecoin regulations to create a solid foundation for subsequent tax reforms. By addressing regulatory uncertainties and banking challenges, the US can foster innovation, attract investment, and maintain its leadership in the global digital economy.

GameStop’s rumored #bitcoin strategy ignites social media frenzy as shares jump 16%. Is the meme stock giant embracing crypto?
GameStop’s Bitcoin Pivot Fuels 16% Stock Rally – Meme Stock Mania Returns?
$BTC
#gamestop (GME), the iconic meme stock, is making waves again—this time with whispers of a Bitcoin pivot. After a surprise 16% surge in its stock price, speculation is mounting that the gaming retailer may be exploring a crypto strategy, reigniting social media chatter and investor excitement.
Social Media Buzz and Stock Surge
Following cryptic posts from influential figures and a sudden spike in trading volume, GameStop shares soared as retail traders piled in. The rally mirrors the 2021 meme stock frenzy, but this time, Bitcoin rumors are adding fuel to the fire.
Crypto enthusiasts on platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and Reddit are dissecting possible ties between GameStop and Bitcoin, with some suggesting the company could integrate crypto payments or even invest in BTC. While no official announcement has been made, the mere speculation has been enough to trigger a bullish response.
Is GameStop Embracing Crypto?
GameStop has been quietly expanding beyond physical retail, venturing into NFTs and digital assets in recent years. A move toward Bitcoin would align with its push into Web3—but skeptics warn this could just be another hype cycle.
Analysts are divided: some see this as a potential long-term shift, while others caution that without concrete plans, the rally may be short-lived. Either way, GameStop remains a magnet for retail trader momentum.
What’s Next?
If GameStop confirms any Bitcoin-related strategy, it could trigger another wave of meme stock mania—with #crypto at the center. For now, traders are watching closely, ready to ride the next viral trend.

بينما تحافظ #bitcoin على قوتها فوق مستويات الدعم الرئيسية، تظهر العملات البديلة مثل TON و AVAX و NEAR و OKB أنماط صعودية، مما يشير إلى احتمال حدوث ارتفاعات في المستقبل.

Gotbit Founder Agrees to $23 Million Forfeiture in U.S. Market Manipulation Case
Aleksei Andriunin, founder and CEO of the cryptocurrency market-making firm #Gotbit , has consented to forfeit approximately $23 million in USDT and USDC as part of a plea agreement with U.S. federal prosecutors. This development follows charges of wire fraud and market manipulation linked to Gotbit’s alleged involvement in artificially inflating trading volumes for various cryptocurrencies between 2018 and 2024.
In a significant legal development, Aleksei Andriunin, the 26-year-old Russian founder and CEO of #GotbitExchange , has entered into a plea agreement with federal prosecutors in Massachusetts. As part of this deal, Andriunin has agreed to forfeit approximately $23 million held in Tether (USDT) and USD Coin (USDC). This agreement addresses charges of wire fraud and conspiracy to commit market manipulation and wire fraud.
Gotbit, established in 2017 and registered in Belize, operated as a cryptocurrency market-making firm. The company allegedly provided services designed to artificially inflate trading volumes for various #cryptocurrency tokens, including those of U.S.-based firms. This practice, commonly referred to as “wash trading,” involves executing trades without market risk to create a misleading appearance of liquidity and demand.
According to court documents, Gotbit’s activities spanned from 2018 to 2024, during which the firm is accused of orchestrating widespread cryptocurrency market manipulation. The U.S. Department of Justice asserts that these manipulations deceived investors and disrupted the integrity of cryptocurrency markets.
Andriunin’s legal troubles escalated in October 2024 when he was arrested by Portuguese authorities and subsequently extradited to the #UnitedStates . Following his extradition, he appeared in a federal court in Boston, Massachusetts, where he was ordered to remain detained pending further proceedings.
The plea agreement stipulates that Andriunin will plead guilty to three counts, including conspiracy to commit wire fraud and market manipulation. In addition to the $23 million forfeiture, the agreement acknowledges that this forfeiture does not preclude the imposition of additional penalties, fines, or restitution that the court may deem appropriate.
It’s important to note that this agreement is solely between Andriunin and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Massachusetts. It does not bind other federal, state, or local prosecuting authorities. Furthermore, the court is not obligated to adhere to the sentencing recommendations proposed in the plea agreement, and Andriunin cannot withdraw his guilty plea based on disagreements with the court’s sentencing decisions.
This case underscores the U.S. government’s commitment to pursuing fraudulent activities within the cryptocurrency industry. It serves as a cautionary tale for market participants about the legal repercussions of engaging in deceptive trading practices.
As the cryptocurrency market continues to evolve, regulatory scrutiny is intensifying to ensure transparency and protect investors from manipulative schemes. The outcome of Andriunin’s case may set a precedent for how similar cases are handled in the future, emphasizing the importance of ethical conduct in the rapidly growing digital asset space.

Debate Ignites Over Bitcoin's Future Amid Centralization Concerns
Prominent investor Jason Calacanis suggests Bitcoin's centralization by major players signals the need for a superior alternative, sparking widespread debate within the cryptocurrency community.
In a recent development that has stirred the cryptocurrency community, prominent angel investor and internet entrepreneur Jason Calacanis proposed the idea of creating a "better #bitcoin ." Calacanis, known for his early investments in companies like Uber and Robinhood, expressed concerns over the current state of Bitcoin, suggesting that its market dominance by a few large entities might necessitate the development of an improved version.
On March 14, Calacanis shared his thoughts with his substantial following on X (formerly Twitter), stating, "Bitcoin has been a wonderful game, but with a couple of giant players cornering the market, the timing is right to 'build a better Bitcoin' — restarting the game." He further asserted that all #Technology eventually gets replaced over time, implying that Bitcoin would be no exception.
This perspective was met with swift rebuttals from key figures in the #BitcoinCommunity Brady Swenson, co-founder of Swan Bitcoin, argued that successful protocols are built upon rather than replaced. He emphasized that Bitcoin, as a protocol for value transfer, is irreplaceable, though the competition for the leading second-layer solution continues.
David Marcus, CEO of Lightspark, echoed this sentiment, suggesting that any perceived shortcomings in Bitcoin's functionality could be addressed through Layer-2 solutions. He cautioned that attempting to create a better Bitcoin would be futile. Similarly, Eric Voorhees, CEO of ShapeShift, noted that Bitcoin's limitations could be resolved on other blockchain networks.

In a recent development that has stirred the cryptocurrency community, prominent angel investor and internet entrepreneur Jason Calacanis proposed the idea of creating a "better #bitcoin ." Calacanis, known for his early investments in companies like Uber and Robinhood, expressed concerns over the current state of Bitcoin, suggesting that its market dominance by a few large entities might necessitate the development of an improved version.
On March 14, Calacanis shared his thoughts with his substantial following on X (formerly Twitter), stating, "Bitcoin has been a wonderful game, but with a couple of giant players cornering the market, the timing is right to 'build a better Bitcoin' — restarting the game." He further asserted that all #Technology eventually gets replaced over time, implying that Bitcoin would be no exception.
This perspective was met with swift rebuttals from key figures in the #BitcoinCommunity Brady Swenson, co-founder of Swan Bitcoin, argued that successful protocols are built upon rather than replaced. He emphasized that Bitcoin, as a protocol for value transfer, is irreplaceable, though the competition for the leading second-layer solution continues.
David Marcus, CEO of Lightspark, echoed this sentiment, suggesting that any perceived shortcomings in Bitcoin's functionality could be addressed through Layer-2 solutions. He cautioned that attempting to create a better Bitcoin would be futile. Similarly, Eric Voorhees, CEO of ShapeShift, noted that Bitcoin's limitations could be resolved on other blockchain networks.
