$24,163,207 is the amount of money traders have lost in futures on $RAVE in the last 24 hours.
In recent days, we’ve all seen how $RAVE moved from around $1.8 to over $19, an explosive move that caught the entire market’s attention. But behind these aggressive price increases, there is a key factor: extreme volatility.
Many traders enter futures thinking these kinds of moves are clear opportunities to become millionaires in a matter of hours.
In this case, futures are a very dangerous option. The combination of high volatility and leverage can turn small market moves into significant losses in seconds, especially for those who are not properly prepared or managing risk.
Fake Ledger app in the App Store stole $9.5 million
Scammers uploaded a fake Ledger app for macOS to the App Store and in a few days took millions of dollars from users. According to on-chain investigator ZachXBT, more than 50 people were affected.
The scheme worked from April 7 to April 13. After installing the app, the attackers got access to wallets and took the funds. The biggest loss was up to $4 million from one user.
Justin Sun announced a plan to move TRON to post-quantum cryptography. The network wants to be the first big blockchain to use official NIST crypto signatures on the mainnet.
According to Sun, protection from quantum threats should be a basic feature, not something to argue about.
A movie about Satoshi Nakamoto will come out next week
On April 22, a documentary called “Finding Satoshi” will be released — the creators say they will try to find out who created Bitcoin.
The film includes new investigations, analysis of messages, and stories from people who were part of the early Bitcoin community.
On Polymarket, the main person people think it could be is Len Sassaman — about 37%. Other possible names are Adam Back, Hal Finney, Nick Szabo, and others.
A user sent 386,300 USDT to a fake address after copying it from their transaction history. Scammers had already “poisoned” the history — they added a very similar address so the victim would get confused.
The trick is simple: the fake address looks the same at the beginning and the end, but the difference is hidden in the middle — and people usually don’t check that part.
Crypto card transaction volume passed $600 million per month
The total amount of money spent using crypto cards in March 2026 reached about $600 million. This is more than 3 times higher than one year ago. This market is growing fast because more people want to pay directly with crypto without using banks.
Iran wants to be paid in crypto for tankers passing through the Strait of Hormuz
During a pause in fighting, Iran is asking ships that pass through the Strait of Hormuz to pay a fee — according to media reports — and the payment should be in cryptocurrency. Ships may also be checked for weapons.
About 20% of the world’s oil goes through Hormuz, so possible earnings could reach tens of millions of dollars per day.
More than 40% of altcoins are at their lowest levels ever
According to CryptoQuant, over 40% of altcoins are now trading near their all-time lows — this is even worse than at the peak of the last bear market (around 38%).
The main reason is that liquidity is spread too thin: there are now tens of millions of tokens on the market, and there isn’t enough money to go around.
An expert says Bitcoin could drop to around $46,000.
Bitcoin might go down to between $46,000 and $54,000, according to crypto analyst Willy Woo.
He explains that $54,000 is the average price people paid for Bitcoin, and around $46,000 matches a model that shows how long-term investors behave.
However, he also warns that these models are based on past market cycles. If the overall upward trend breaks, the market could fall more and become harder to predict.
In the United States, they want to stop government officials from placing bets on prediction markets.
A new law called the PREDICT Act has been introduced in Congress. It would stop the president, vice president, other government workers, and their families from betting on prediction markets.
If someone breaks the rules, they could face a fine of 10% of the total contract value and lose all the profits they made.
The reason is the risk of insider information. In the past, some traders made money by betting on events like a possible war with Iran or a government shutdown.
Crypto in U.S. retirement accounts is almost ready to start.
A new rule that allows investment in alternative assets in 401(k) plans has passed the final review at the White House. The Department of Labor is expected to publish it in the coming weeks.
This will allow people to officially hold cryptocurrencies in their retirement accounts, along with stocks and bonds. At the same time, access will also include private equity, private debt, and infrastructure investments.
This is about a market worth around $12 trillion — one of the biggest sources of money in the United States.

Gold has been falling for 10 days in a row — the longest drop ever. Since January, it has gone down by about 27%, and since the end of February — around 12%.
At the same time, Bitcoin is staying above $70,000 and getting stronger. The BTC-to-gold ratio has gone up by about 30% — now close to 16 ounces for 1 BTC, compared to about 12 before.
A wallet with 6000 $BTC became active again after 10 years.
A well-known dr@gseller, Clifton Collins, who was believed to have lost access to his 6000 $BTC (about $423 million), seems to have found his wallet seed phrase.
After 10 years of no activity, 500 $BTC (about $35 million) were sent from one of his wallets to a wallet of a crypto exchange.
Insiders may have made up to $500 million from Trump’s statements
15 minutes before the announcement about talks with Iran, unknown traders opened big positions — they bet $1.5 billion that the S&P 500 would go up, and $580 million that oil would go down.
