Deutsche Börse said Tuesday it will invest $200 million in Payward, the parent company of crypto exchange Kraken, deepening a partnership between the two companies as the German exchange operator expands further into digital assets.

The investment, which is subject to regulatory approval and is expected to close in the second quarter, will give Deutsche Börse a 1.5% fully diluted stake in Kraken through a secondary share purchase.

The investment is another sign of growing interest in the cryptocurrency industry from traditional finance (TradFi) institutions. The deal is part of the Frankfurt-headquartered stock exchange operator’s plans to offer access to a wider array of blockchain-based securities and tokenized investment products and builds on its prior partnership with Kraken.

On Dec. 4, 2025, Deutsche Börse entered into a strategic partnership with Kraken to improve institutional access to regulated crypto investment products like spot trading, tokenized markets and derivatives, including the integration of Kraken-backed xStocks to its digital asset infrastructure, 360X.

Deutsche Börse said the collaboration is intended to produce new products across trading, custody, settlement, collateral management and tokenized assets.

Kraken said on Nov. 19, 2025, that it had confidentially submitted a draft registration statement to the US Securities and Exchange Commission for a proposed initial public offering, a day after announcing an $800 million fundraising round that valued the company at $20 billion.

Kraken is one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges by daily trading volume, according to CoinMarketCap data.

Kraken did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

TradFi institutions expand into crypto

The move comes as other major financial market operators deepen their crypto exposure.

On March 9, Nasdaq, the second-largest stock exchange by market capitalization, partnered with Kraken and its infrastructure subsidiary, Backed, to develop an equities transformation gateway that builds on Nasdaq’s tokenization proposal filed with US securities regulators in September 2025.

A week earlier, Intercontinental Exchange invested in crypto exchange OKX to bring NYSE-listed tokenized stocks to the exchange starting from the second quarter of 2026.

In January, CME Group, the largest derivatives exchange by volume, announced plans to launch crypto futures contracts tied to Cardano (ADA), Chainlink (LINK) and Stellar (XLM). On April 6, CME announced plans to add  Avalanche (AVAX) and Sui (SUI) futures contracts starting May 4, subject to regulatory approval.

Nauru has appointed crypto entrepreneur Dadvan Yousuf as an international trade commissioner to help advance its digital asset strategy and attract global investment.   

In a statement on Tuesday, President David Adeang said the appointment is part of the Pacific nation’s efforts to strengthen international partnerships and position itself as a hub for virtual asset activity. The government said Yousuf will support cross-border engagement with virtual asset service providers, financial institutions and technology firms.

The move comes less than a year after Nauru passed legislation establishing the Command Ridge Virtual Asset Authority (CRVAA), a dedicated regulator tasked with licensing and overseeing crypto firms, digital banks and other virtual asset activities.

The appointment marks a shift from establishing Nauru’s crypto regulatory framework to actively promoting itself as a jurisdiction for digital asset companies and investment, as the country says it is seeking new revenue streams and greater economic resilience.

Yousuf has previously been linked to regulatory action in Switzerland. In 2023, the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) said a crypto project he founded sold millions of dollars in tokens without the required license and described the platform as non-operational, issuing cease-and-desist orders.

Nauru expands crypto push with trade appointment

According to the United Nations, Nauru is a Pacific island state in Micronesia, northeast of Australia, with about 21 square kilometers of land and roughly 12,500 people, making it the world’s third-smallest country and smallest island nation.

Adeang said Nauru’s digital asset push is intended to improve economic resilience and living standards while committing to international governance and compliance standards.

He previously said in August 2025 that Nauru, ranked among the most vulnerable to economic and climate shocks, is seeking to change its trajectory through new economic strategies.

The appointment adds a new outward-facing element to that strategy by pairing Nauru’s regulatory ambitions with a known figure in crypto circles.

In the announcement, Adeang said Yousuf brings “a unique combination of entrepreneurial vision, international network, and deep understanding of digital asset markets.”

Yousuf had previously attracted attention in the crypto sector after raising a Bitcoin flag atop Mount Everest in 2024. The Bitcoiner said the expedition was intended to highlight disparities in access to financial education.

Nauru surfaced in FTX-linked memo before crypto push

Nauru previously surfaced in crypto headlines in 2023 after court filings in the FTX bankruptcy revealed a memo proposing the purchase of the Pacific island nation using allegedly misappropriated funds. 

The plan, linked to Gabriel Bankman-Fried, Sam Bankman-Fried’s brother, outlined building a bunker to survive a global catastrophe. However, Gabriel’s representatives denied involvement in drafting or endorsing the plan.

US-listed spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) clocked a day of outflows on Monday despite BTC surging above $74,000.

Spot Bitcoin (BTC) ETFs recorded $291 million outflows on Monday, the largest daily outflow since March 27, according to SoSoValue data.

The selling largely came from the Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC), which led the outflows at $229 million, according to Farside data.

As Bitcoin rose by about 5% on Monday to reach four-week highs near $75,000, the outflows interrupted what had otherwise been a firmer stretch for US Bitcoin ETFs, though the weakness was concentrated in a handful of funds rather than spread evenly across the group.

The divergence could point to cautious positioning, with overall market sentiment remaining negative, while some analysts say BTC could fall to $50,000 before any sustained upside.

BlackRock maintains gains in a four-day inflow streak

Despite net ETF outflows turning negative, some funds have continued to post gains over the past few trading sessions.

BlackRock recorded roughly $35 million in inflows on Monday, extending its inflow streak to four days, totaling $482 million in inflows.

The Morgan Stanley Bitcoin Trust ETF (MSBT) was also among the ETFs smashing a four-day inflow streak. Since launching on April 8, the fund has seen around $68 million in inflows.

With the new losses, spot Bitcoin ETFs are back underwater year-to-date with roughly $160 million in outflows.

Altcoin ETF hold ground with minor inflows

Altcoin funds managed to remain in positive inflow territory, starting the week with modest inflows.

Spot Ether (ETH) ETFs recorded $9.4 million in inflows, extending the gains to three consecutive days of gains at around $160 million.

XRP (XRP) funds posted $1.5 million of inflows, while Solana (SOL) recorded no inflows.

On Tuesday, the Crypto Fear & Greed Index rose above 20 for the first time since March 19, suggesting slightly improving investor sentiment amid surging BTC prices. Still, at a reading of 21, the index remains in “extreme fear” territory.

According to analysts at CryptoQuant, even as healthier underlying conditions emerge, sustained upside would likely require fresh capital returning to derivatives markets, with rising open interest needed to confirm the durability of the trend.

Web3 projects lost $464.5 million to hacks and scams in the first quarter of 2026, while multi-billion-dollar “mega hacks” gave way to a larger number of mid-sized incidents, according to blockchain security company Hacken.

According to Hacken’s Q1 2026 report, phishing and social engineering attacks dominated the period, accounting for $306 million in losses in a quarter that saw 43 incidents overall. A single $282 million hardware wallet scam in January was responsible for 81% of the quarter’s damage.

Smart contract exploits totaled $86.2 million, with access control failures, including compromised keys and cloud services, driving an additional $71.9 million in losses.

The losses place this quarter as the second-lowest first quarter since 2023, with the absence of a single mega hack on the scale of Bybit, which lost $1.46 billion in Q1 2025, the primary driver of the year-over-year decline.

Hacken’s incident mapping shows the largest failures increasingly occurring outside onchain code, in operational and infrastructure layers that traditional audits rarely touch. Yev Broshevan, chief executive and co-founder at Hacken, told Cointelegraph the most expensive failures “happen outside the code layer entirely.”

According to Hacken, that shift is drawing greater scrutiny from regulators and institutional counterparties, with frameworks such as the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) and Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) in the European Union moving further into enforcement and raising expectations around continuous security monitoring and incident response.

Legacy code, fake VC calls and key compromises 

Broshevan pointed to $306 million in phishing, a $40 million North Korea-linked fake venture capitalist (VC) call against Step Finance, and a $25 million AWS key management service compromise at Resolv Labs. Even where smart contracts were at fault, the costliest bugs often sat in legacy deployments and known vulnerability classes. Truebit lost $26.4 million to a bug in a Solidity contract deployed around five years ago, while Venus Protocol was hit by a donation attack pattern documented since 2022.

Six audited projects, including Resolv with 18 audits and Venus with five separate firms, still accounted for $37.7 million in losses. On average, that was more than their unaudited peers because higher total value locked (TVL) protocols attract more sophisticated attackers and exploits.

Global watchdogs harden incident response expectations

In Q1, MiCA and DORA in the EU shifted further into active enforcement, Dubai’s regulator, the Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority, tightened expectations around its Technology and Information Rulebook, Singapore enforced Basel-aligned capital and one-hour incident notification rules, and the United Arab Emirates’ new Capital Market Authority took over federal digital asset oversight with broader powers and higher penalties.

Hacken ties those regimes to a new benchmark for “regulator-ready” stacks that includes proof-of-reserves attestations backed by daily internal reconciliation, 24/7 onchain monitoring across treasury wallets and privileged roles, automated circuit-breakers on minting and governance functions and incident notification clocks calibrated to the strictest applicable standard. 

The report highlights “realistic” targets of awareness within 24 hours, labeling within four hours, and blocking in 30 seconds, with “aspirational” goals as low as 10 minutes for detection and 1 second to block, based on guidance from Global Ledger’s 2025 Laundering Race data.

At the human layer, Hacken flags North Korean clusters as the most consistent operational threat, with Step Finance’s $40 million loss and Bitrefill’s infrastructure breach extending a playbook of fake VC outreach, malicious video call tooling and compromised employee endpoints that extracted roughly $2.04 billion from the sector in 2025.

The US Department of Justice has launched a compensation process for victims of the $4 billion crypto Ponzi scheme OneCoin, using forfeited assets taken from some of the scheme's architects.

The Justice Department said on Monday that more than $40 million in forfeited assets is available to compensate anyone who purchased OneCoin between 2014 and 2019 and recorded a net loss.

Jay Clayton, the US Attorney for Manhattan, said the compensation process was “an important step toward returning funds to those harmed.”

OneCoin was launched in 2014 with the goal of surpassing Bitcoin (BTC), and despite rising to become the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, it later collapsed as users discovered the coins had no utility, and authorities worldwide started investigations into the operation.

“Between 2014 and 2019, OneCoin’s founders sold a lie disguised as cryptocurrency, costing victims more than $4 billion worldwide,” Clayton said. “While no recovery can fully undo the damage, our Office will continue working to seize criminal proceeds and prioritize getting money back into the hands of victims.”

OneCoin co-founder disappeared, another gets 20 years

OneCoin was launched by Ruja Ignatova and Karl Sebastian Greenwood in Bulgaria and began operating in the United States around 2015.

The Justice Department estimates that between 2014 and the end of 2016, the scheme stole more than $4 billion from around 3.5 million victims. However, some estimates for worldwide losses reach $19 billion.

Prior to OneCoin's collapse, several central banks, including those of Latvia, Sweden and Norway, warned investors against the cryptocurrency, flagging it as a possible Ponzi scheme.

Bulgarian police eventually raided OneCoin's headquarters in 2018 and arrested Greenwood.

He was sentenced to 20 years in prison in September 2023 for his role in the scheme. 

Ignatova was last seen in 2017, boarding a flight to Athens. She is one of the FBI’s “Ten Most Wanted Fugitives,” and the agency is offering $5 million for information leading to her capture and conviction.

Several crypto analysts still believe that there will be a final flush out that sends Bitcoin prices as low as $50,000 before the cryptocurrency is able to mount a measurable recovery.

Bitcoin (BTC) trader and author Ivan Liljeqvist posted to X on Tuesday that Bitcoin is yet to have “the big flush.”

“I don’t think we’ve had it yet, I don’t think $60,000 was the bottom,” he added. “Trend is still down.”

Liljeqvist said the few bounces that Bitcoin has seen “are tiny” in comparison to its wider price trend, and the strength seen in past bull markets is “just not here right now.”

The analyst Merlijn Enkelaar said that Bitcoin was about to enter its second bear market phase after accumulation, and a “manipulation phase” could send Bitcoin down to $50,000 before the third “distribution phase.”

Nick Ruck, the director of LVRG Research, told Cointelegraph that Bitcoin falling to the $50,000 level is being seen as “the last significant accumulation zone before any sustained recovery and would represent a healthy cycle reset amid macro pressures and weak capital rotation.”

“This could potentially set up for stronger bullish momentum once the flush concludes, but the institutionalization of crypto markets places consistent buying pressure at current levels.”

Bitcoin still looks “super bearish” on the high time frame, said analyst “symbiote” on Monday. “I am waiting for a final huge dump to one of my targets: $59K or $50K. Either way, [the] last dump is coming,” he added. 

Meanwhile, analyst “Jelle” identified a bearish flag chart pattern, which was “still in play” on Monday. The bear flag is a bearish trend continuation signal indicating further price declines.

The bearish sentiment remains among renowned analysts despite today’s Bitcoin rally to just below $75,000 on renewed hope for a deal between the US and Iran to end weeks of conflict that have suppressed global markets. 

Bitcoin may not reach “idealized 60% drawdown”

Ruck said that while Bitcoin is already down around 40% from its last all-time high with significant institutional participation, previous cycles driven by retail speculation saw diminishing drawdowns.

There was an 82% drawdown in the bear market that followed the 2017 peak and a 77% decline following the 2021 all-time high. 

“There is a chance this cycle might not reach an idealized 60% drawdown due to its distinctively macro-structured market environment,” he said. 

Earlier this month, Fidelity Digital Assets also stated that downside risk has been less dramatic in 2026 when compared to previous cycles.

Americká bankovní asociace (ABA) kritizovala zprávu Bílého domu, která tvrdila, že zákaz výnosů ze stablecoinů by měl pouze zanedbatelný dopad na banky, a argumentovala, že závěr byl dosažen položením „špatné otázky.“

Rada ekonomických poradců Bílého domu uvedla ve výzkumném dokumentu ve středu, na téma „Dopady zákazu výnosu ze stablecoinů na bankovní půjčky,“ že v rámci základního scénáře by zákaz výnosu ze stablecoinů mohl zvýšit bankovní půjčky pouze o 2,1 miliardy dolarů, což představuje marginální čisté zvýšení asi o 0,02 %.

Chris Giancarlo, bývalý předseda Komise pro obchodování s komoditními futures v USA, se vzdává práva, aby se stal poradcem pro firmy v oblasti kryptoměn na plný úvazek.

Giancarlo, přezdívaný jako „Crypto Dad“ během svého úřadu za svou advokaci pro kryptoměny, zveřejnil v neděli na X, že opouští právnickou firmu Willkie Farr & Gallagher a úplně se stahuje z práva, když přechází k poradenství pro kryptoměnové a fintech společnosti.

„Od této chvíle se budu věnovat poradenství zakladatelům & tvůrcům FinTech & digitálních aktiv a jejich generálním ředitelům a správním radám, výzkumu & psaní o otázkách veřejné politiky a pokračování v práci s neziskovými programy,“ řekl.

Bitcoin vzrostl na svou nejvyšší cenu za téměř měsíc, což vyvolalo likvidace v hodnotě stovek milionů, když naděje na dohodu mezi Trumpovou administrativou a Íránem zaplavily kryptoměnový trh pozitivním sentimentem.

Kryptoměnový trh vzrostl na celkovou hodnotu 2,6 bilionu dolarů, na svou nejvyšší úroveň za měsíc, likvidoval 177 000 obchodníků v hodnotě 530 milionů dolarů během posledních 24 hodin, podle CoinGlass.

Většina likvidací se odehrála v posledních 12 hodinách a 80 % z nich, tedy 425 milionů dolarů, byly pákové krátké pozice v Bitcoinu (BTC) a Etheru (ETH). 

South Korea’s third-largest cryptocurrency exchange, Coinone, is facing a fine and a partial business suspension over anti-money laundering lapses, according to multiple local media reports.

South Korea's Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) under the Financial Services Commission accused Coinone of failing to comply with anti-money laundering obligations, including verifying user identities in about 70,000 cases, The Korea Times, Chosun and Yonhap News reported on Monday.

The FIU also alleged Coinone facilitated more than 10,000 transactions with 16 foreign exchanges not registered with South Korean regulators, despite repeated warnings.

Other accusations include violating customer due diligence obligations by marking customer verification as complete even when key information was missing, and by failing to restrict transactions for customers whose verification measures had not been completed.

Cointelegraph contacted Coinone for comment.

Regulatory crackdown against exchanges

It marks South Korea’s second regulatory crackdown against exchanges in the last month, after Bithumb, the country’s second-largest crypto exchange by trading volume, was fined $24 million and faced a six-month partial suspension in March for alleged anti-money laundering failures.

The moves come after Bithumb erroneously sent customers 620,000 Bitcoin (BTC), worth around $42 billion at the time, instead of 620,000 Korean won, prompting the Bank of Korea to push for lawmakers to pass more stringent controls on exchanges.

The central bank said on Monday that lawmakers should consider introducing trading curbs to suspend trading in the event of unusual activity or if crypto prices suddenly fluctuate 

Fine, partial suspension and CEO reprimand

The FIU reportedly fined Coinone 5.2 billion won ($3.5 million) and imposed a three-month partial business suspension, which prevents new customers from depositing or withdrawing funds from the exchange until the ban is lifted.

The exchange's chief executive officer, Cha Myung-hoon, is also receiving an official reprimand. However, it's an administrative enforcement rather than a criminal penalty.

Coinone has 10 days to dispute the action before the FIU finalizes the fine and other penalties, according to the reports.

Operátor kryptoměnového těžebního poolu Foundry Digital spustil pool pro soukromí zaměřenou kryptoměnu Zcash, kterou společnost říká, že zajistila téměř 30 % hashrate sítě Zcash prostřednictvím partnerství s několika institucionálními těžaři.

„Institucionální a veřejní těžaři hledají shodné, účelově postavené řešení pro těžbu Zcash,“ uvedla Foundry v pondělí, měsíc poté, co oznámila svůj plán vytvořit Foundry Zcash Pool.

Ether's (ETH) rebound to $2,300 over the weekend put large investors back into profit but is this a sign that ETH may rally to $3,000?

Data from TradingView shows that Ether’s price rose 20% to $2,330 on Saturday from its local low of $1,940 reached on March 29.

The recovery was fueled by the US and Iran’s announcement of a two-week ceasefire and a strengthening market structure. The rebound has also pushed ETH whales into profitability, according to data from CryptoQuant.

ETH whales’ unrealized profit ratio reveals that wallets holding over 100,000 ETH are “profitable state again,” CryptoQuant analyst CW8900 said in a Quicktake note on Monday, adding:

“In the history of $ETH, every point where they turned from loss to profit was at the rally start point.”

ETH investors double down on buying

The shift in whale profitability shows accumulation at lower levels, signaling long-term investor confidence.

Data from CryptoQuant shows that ETH accumulation began in late 2025 and has proceeded more aggressively throughout 2026. 

Accumulation addresses are wallets that continuously receive ETH without making any outgoing transactions. They may belong to long-term holders, institutional investors, or entities strategically accumulating Ether rather than actively trading it.

As a result, the total ETH held by these long-term holders reached a record 26.3 million. That marks a 32% jump in 2026 despite ETH price declining by 25% over the same period.

Large spikes in inflows to these addresses often signal strong confidence in Ether’s long-term potential, with past trends showing that such surges frequently precede price rallies.

For example, on June 22, 2025, Ethereum accumulation addresses recorded a then-all-time high daily inflow of over 380 million ETH. Nearly 30 days later, ETH price rallied by almost 85%. A similar price increase succeeded November 2025’s inflow spike into the accumulation addresses.

Ether’s technical set-up points to $3,000

Ether’s price action has formed a rounded bottom chart pattern on the 12-hour chart. The price is retesting the $2,140 support, where the chart’s support line and the 20-day exponential moving average (EMA) converge. 

Bulls will now attempt to push ETH/USD above the neckline of the governing chart pattern at $2,400, paving the way toward the measured target at $2,940, 32% above the current price.

The daily relative strength index (RSI) has risen to 57 from near-oversold levels at 36, suggesting ETH bulls are returning to the market.

However, Ether’s cost basis distribution data shows that investors hold about 7.6 million ETH at an average cost of between $2,750 and $2,850, creating a potential resistance zone. This concentration suggests that many investors may sell at breakeven, potentially stalling Ether’s upward momentum.

“Ethereum is heading, in my opinion, toward its next major resistance at $2,800,” said analyst TagadoBTC in a recent X post, adding: 

“The $2,000 zone remains the one to hold, otherwise we risk falling back to the bottom of the channel.”

As Cointelegraph reported, Ether’s potential for a rally will improve once the altcoin breaks above the $2,400 resistance level. If that happens, the ETH/USDT pair may surge to $2,800.

V prohlášení ze dne pondělí personál oddělení obchodování a trhů SEC uvedl, že za určitých okolností nemusí být rozhraní, která „pomáhají uživatelům zapojit se do transakcí s cennými papíry kryptoměn iniciovaných uživateli na blockchainových protokolech [...] využívajících uživatelovu vlastní samoobslužnou peněženku“, nutně povinna registrovat se jako obchodník s cennými papíry u agentury.

Bitmine Immersion Technologies oznámila v pondělí, že zakoupila 71,524 Ether během minulého týdne, čímž zvýšila své celkové držení na přibližně 4,87 milionu tokenů.

Společnost uvedla, že tato pozice představuje přibližně 4,04% celkové nabídky Ether (ETH), na základě přibližně 120,7 milionu vydaných tokenů, protože i nadále usiluje o cíl získat až 5% z globální nabídky. Její rozvaha také zahrnuje 198 Bitcoinů (BTC) a přibližně 719 milionů dolarů v hotovosti.

Bitmine uvedla, že poslední nákup představuje její nejrychlejší týdenní tempo akumulace Ether od prosince 2025.

Bitcoin (BTC) znovu získal úroveň 72 000 $, když se býci pokoušejí posunout cenu blíže k jejím více měsíčním vrcholům. Zatímco nižší úrovně přitahují kupce, udržení vyšších úrovní by mohlo představovat výzvu.

Zakladatel Coin Bureau a tržní analytik Nic Puckrin řekl Cointelegraph, že aby BTC dosáhl 90 000 $, musí skončit geopolitické napětí, což přinese ceny ropy na 80 $. Dále musí ekonomická data oslabit, aby uklidnila obavy investorů, že stagflace může poškodit americkou ekonomiku.

Další opatrný pohled přinesl hlavní analytik burzy CoinEx Jeff Ko, který řekl Cointelegraph, že krátkodobý sentiment "zůstává křehký a silně řízený makroekonomickými faktory, zejména ropou, dolarem a očekáváním inflace." Analytik zněl sebevědoměji v střednědobém horizontu, protože neočekává, že ceny ropy zůstanou vysoké kvůli fundamentům nabídky a poptávky.

V příspěvku na X v pondělí Nick Percoco uvedl pokus o vynucení nespecifikované částky z kryptoměnové burzy od nepojmenované skupiny „hrozící zveřejněním videí našich interních systémů s uvedenými daty klientů.“ Řekl, že systémy Kraken „nikdy nebyly narušeny“ a prostředky uživatelů nebyly ohroženy tímto pokusem.

Vytvoření silného vzestupného trendu Bitcoinu (BTC) v roce 2026 zůstává výzvou, protože toky burzovně obchodovaných fondů (ETF) vykázaly omezený růst od doby, kdy vrcholily nad $60 miliard v roce 2025.

Ve stejnou dobu klesly přílivy do zlato ETF také o téměř 25 % v Q1 a nedostatek kapitálové rotace do BTC naznačuje tlumenou institucionální poptávku.

Zrychlení poptávky po Bitcoinu postrádá tempo

Nedávná zpráva od Ecoinometrics ukazuje jasný posun v poptávce a trvalosti toků bitcoinového burzovně obchodovaného fondu (ETF). Před říjnovým vrcholem ceny BTC v roce 2025 často přicházely přílivy ETF v prodloužených sériích, včetně 15denního běhu $4.4 miliardy v červnu 2025, což pomohlo udržet vzestupný momentum.
