Listen everyone,

Michael Saylor has spent nearly $50 billion over the last 5 years buying Bitcoin, and now he’s sitting underwater.

Adjusted for inflation, he’s down around $10 billion.

The bigger issue is that a large part of these BTC purchases were made using borrowed money and that debt has to be paid back.
This is where things can get very messy, very fast.

I talked about this more than a month ago and warned about the risks. People like this create centralization, which goes against Bitcoin’s original purpose.

When leverage and concentration build up too much, the system becomes fragile.

I’ll keep you updated over the next few months.

And when I start buying Bitcoin again, I’ll say it here publicly.

A lot of people are going to regret ignoring these warnings.

The crypto trading boom is cooling fast, and analysts are slashing forecasts ahead of Q1 earnings. Coinbase (NASDAQ: COIN) just got downgraded by Barclays, which warned that global trading activity has dropped to its lowest level since late 2023. With volumes down roughly 30% in Q1, profit pressure is building across the sector. The slowdown is hitting revenue hard. Coinbase's March trading volume was the lowest since September 2024, and April hasn't shown any improvement. Since exchanges make most of their money from transaction fees, weaker volumes directly mean less income. Barclays now expects Coinbase's adjusted EBITDA to be about 24% below Street estimates, driven by softer spot trading and retail activity. It's not just Coinbase. Oppenheimer cut its Q1 volume forecast for the exchange to $211 billion from $244 billion, lowering total revenue estimates to $1.48 billion. Even stablecoin players like Circle (NASDAQ: CRCL) are feeling the pinch, though USDC transfer volume rose 12% quarter-over-quarter. Bullish (NASDAQ: BLSH), the owner of CoinDesk, also missed spot volume expectations despite strong activity during February's volatility. Diversification efforts may not offset the downturn quickly. Coinbase's push to become an "everything exchange" with derivatives and tokenized assets is seen as a long-term play with little near-term payoff. Stablecoins could offer support, but regulatory uncertainty in Washington keeps that upside in question. With Q1 earnings season approaching, analysts are moving early to reset expectations. Coinbase reports on May 7, Bullish on April 23, and Circle's date is still pending. The message is clear: the crypto trading rebound traders hoped for in 2026 isn't materializing yet, and the market is bracing for weaker results. , ,

Crypto perpetuals are now predicting Wall Street’s Monday moves with 89% accuracy, according to new data from Binance Research. These 24/7 crypto-linked derivatives tied to traditional assets like gold and oil are pricing markets while Wall Street is closed. The correlation between weekend moves in gold-linked perpetuals and Monday’s traditional futures open sits near 0.80, with a 57% median capture ratio meaning more than half the move is already priced in before markets open. The Iran conflict weekend in late February showed this in action — trading volume in these contracts hit $8.1 billion as traders hedged real-time. Weekend activity now averages 38% of weekday volume, steadily growing. For traders, this means crypto markets are becoming a reliable signal source for positioning ahead of Monday opens or managing weekend risk. The directional accuracy is already strong enough to act on. , ,

Hong Kong just granted its first stablecoin licenses — and both went to major banks. HSBC and Anchorpoint Financial, a Standard Chartered-led joint venture with Animoca Brands, are now officially licensed to issue regulated stablecoins under Hong Kong's new Stablecoins Ordinance. This is a big deal for the market. Hong Kong is positioning itself as a regulated hub for digital money, and by choosing established banks first, the HKMA is signaling trust and stability. These stablecoins will likely be pegged to the Hong Kong dollar (HKD) and will include strict compliance measures like KYC and on-chain whitelisting. Why does this matter for traders? It means new, compliant HKD stablecoins could enter the market soon, potentially increasing liquidity for HKD trading pairs. It also shows a shift away from USD dominance in the stablecoin space, even if that's still a long shot. The HKMA received 36 applications but only approved two in this first batch, prioritizing risk management and reserve quality. The licenses come with one of the strictest identity regimes globally — only verified wallets can hold or transfer these tokens. Interestingly, this move also sidelines Hong Kong's central bank digital currency (CBDC) plans for now. The HKMA found little demand for a retail e-HKD, so it's betting on private, bank-issued stablecoins instead. With a $310 billion stablecoin market mostly dominated by USD-pegged tokens, Hong Kong's bet on HKD stablecoins is a bold experiment. Whether they can gain real traction remains to be seen — but the regulatory clarity and banking backing give them a fighting chance. , ,

Bitcoin treasury firm Nakamoto (NAKA) is fighting to stay on Nasdaq with a reverse stock split. The move comes as its share price collapsed to around $0.22 — down roughly 99% from its May 2025 peak. A reverse split would combine shares at a ratio between 1-for-20 and 1-for-50. This doesn't change the company's value but boosts the price to meet Nasdaq's $1 minimum bid rule. Fail that, and delisting is on the table. Nakamoto also just sold about 5% of its bitcoin holdings, leaving it with 5,058 BTC. Other bitcoin treasury firms like Strive have taken similar steps as BTC's spot price dropped from over $126,000 to roughly $70,000. On top of that, Nakamoto filed to register over 400 million shares for resale by existing investors — a potential overhang. It also has a shelf for up to $7 billion and an ATM program for up to $5 billion in new shares. Bottom line: NAKA is in survival mode, trying to stabilize its stock while managing liquidity in a brutal bear market. , ,

SpaceX is holding $603 million in Bitcoin despite posting a $5 billion loss in 2025. The company still owns 8,285 BTC in Coinbase Prime custody, showing no signs of selling even after heavy losses. This move is interesting because SpaceX is preparing for an IPO. Most companies would sell volatile assets to clean up their balance sheet, but Musk is keeping the Bitcoin. That says a lot about how he views BTC as a treasury asset. The Bitcoin position is now the fourth-largest among public companies, behind Strategy, Marathon Digital, and Riot Platforms. SpaceX acquired xAI earlier this year, which pushed costs above revenue, but the Bitcoin stash remains untouched. With new FASB rules in effect, the upcoming IPO filing could force SpaceX to mark the Bitcoin to market value publicly for the first time. That could bring more attention to corporate Bitcoin holdings. , ,

Bitcoin jumped to $72,400 after the March CPI report showed core inflation rose just 0.2%, below the expected 0.3%. This softer-than-forecast core reading eased some inflation fears, even as overall CPI hit 0.9% due to higher energy prices from Middle East tensions. Markets reacted quickly—Bitcoin broke out of its $72,000 range, Nasdaq futures climbed 0.3%, and Treasury yields stayed flat at 4.29%. The data keeps the Fed on track to hold rates steady at both the April and June meetings, with over 95% odds priced in for no change. That stability is helping risk assets like $BTC hold ground despite ongoing geopolitical risks. Traders should watch oil prices and any shifts in Fed rate-cut expectations—they could swing crypto sentiment fast. , ,

XRP holders may have less to worry about when it comes to quantum computing threats compared to Bitcoin, according to recent analysis. The XRP Ledger's unique features, like key rotation and time-locked escrows, give it a structural edge in protecting dormant funds. Around 2.4 billion XRP sits in accounts that have never exposed their public keys, making them quantum-safe by default. Vet, an XRP Ledger validator, found only two long-dormant whale accounts—holding 21 million XRP—are truly exposed. That's just 0.03% of the circulating supply. Ripple's Mayukha Vadari also pointed out that time-locked escrows add another layer of protection, as funds can't be withdrawn until a set time, even if an account is compromised. Bitcoin's situation looks riskier. Roughly 6.9 million BTC—nearly 35% of supply—are in addresses that exposed public keys long ago, including Satoshi's untouched stash. Unlike XRP, Bitcoin lacks native key rotation, so moving funds to safety means exposing your public key in the mempool for about 10 minutes—a window quantum computers could exploit. Still, Bitcoin devs are actively working on quantum-resistant upgrades. For now, XRP's architecture gives it a clear advantage in this emerging threat landscape. $BTC $XRP $SOL

Arizona can't move forward with criminal charges against Kalshi—at least not right now. A federal judge just blocked the state from holding an arraignment scheduled for Monday, siding with the CFTC's argument that federal law trumps state gambling rules when it comes to prediction markets. This is a big deal for the regulatory landscape. The ruling reinforces that event contracts fall under CFTC oversight, not state jurisdiction. That means platforms like Kalshi operating under federal compliance may have a stronger defense against state-level crackdowns. The market impact? Clearer regulatory footing could boost confidence in prediction market platforms, potentially driving more users and liquidity their way. If federal courts keep backing CFTC authority, we might see more projects entering this space without fear of patchwork state laws. Still, the battle isn't over—Nevada courts have gone the other way, and more rulings are coming. Traders should watch how this plays out, especially with the Ninth Circuit hearing next week. Regulatory clarity here could be a catalyst for growth in decentralized prediction markets. , ,

# Gemini Under the Microscope: Buyers Eyeing Its European Assets Potential buyers are circling Gemini's shuttered European and U.K. operations, not the whole company. The focus? Regulatory licenses. With MiCA in Europe and FCA approval in the U.K., acquiring Gemini's infrastructure could give rivals instant market access without years of compliance delays. Gemini's broader platform offers custody, staking, yield products, and even a crypto rewards credit card, making it more than just an exchange. But after cutting 25% of staff and exiting major markets, the firm is now a target for strategic asset grabs rather than a full acquisition. The stock has collapsed over 80% from its IPO price, now trading around $4.36, reflecting deep investor skepticism. Recent exits of COO, CFO, and CLO add to the turbulence, though shares jumped 11% on the latest acquisition news. With 15% short interest, volatility isn't going away soon. , ,

Flare just dropped a major governance proposal that could change how MEV works on L1s. Instead of letting block builders pocket the profits from transaction ordering, Flare wants to capture that value at the protocol level and use it to burn FLR tokens. Here’s the play: Flare is moving block building into a designated builder, then into Confidential Compute for full transparency. Eventually, the builder and proposer will merge into one entity. All MEV revenue will flow into FIRE (Flare Income Reinvestment Entity), which will use it for buybacks and burns. They’re also slashing inflation from 5% to 3% and raising the gas base fee 20x to push more FLR into burns. At current volume, that could mean burning 300M FLR per year instead of 7.5M. Flare’s still XRP-adjacent—remember the 2023 airdrop to XRP holders? Now with over $160M TVL and 887K+ active addresses, this move could make FLR more scarce and valuable if the community votes yes. , ,

A federal judge just blocked Arizona from moving forward with criminal charges against Kalshi, giving the prediction market platform a major legal win. The state had planned to arraign Kalshi on 20 criminal counts, claiming it was offering illegal betting products. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) stepped in and secured a temporary restraining order. Judge Michael Liburdi ruled that Arizona can't enforce its gambling laws against any contracts listed on CFTC-regulated markets. The CFTC chair called this a clear message against states using criminal law to target federally regulated companies. This is part of a bigger legal battle over who controls prediction markets - states or the federal government. Federal courts have been split, with some backing the CFTC's authority while others have allowed state actions to proceed. The Third Circuit recently ruled that prediction markets fall under CFTC jurisdiction. For the crypto and prediction market space, this ruling creates more regulatory clarity and could boost confidence in federally regulated platforms. It signals that federal oversight may take precedence over state gambling laws for these products, potentially opening doors for more innovation in the sector. , ,

Bitcoin is holding steady at $71,700, with low volatility continuing to define the market. Bollinger bands are at their tightest since early 2024, and history suggests a big move could be coming soon. A break above $75,000 could spark upside momentum, while a dip below $70,000 could trigger $200M in long liquidations. The U.S. CPI inflation data is the key catalyst today. If inflation comes in hotter than expected, the dollar could strengthen, putting pressure on risk assets like $BTC. Traders are watching closely. Futures positioning is leaning bullish—open interest in $BTC futures rose 1%, and funding rates are at their highest since February. Some altcoins like $HYPE and $AVAX are also seeing strong OI growth and positive funding. Meanwhile, $ZEC remains heavily shorted despite its rally to $400. Volatility is near record lows, with $BTC's 30-day implied volatility dropping to 45%. ETF flows are playing a big role in suppressing upside volatility, making options selling more attractive. The term structure hints at a quiet summer before a possible pick-up later in the year. On the token side, $TAO dropped 12% after Covenant AI left Bittensor, calling its decentralization promise a "lie." In contrast, $DASH surged 19% as traders rotate back into privacy coins. , ,

Bitcoin just got a new quantum-safe option — but it’s not cheap. StarkWare researcher Avihu Levy unveiled Quantum Safe Bitcoin (QSB), a method to protect BTC transactions from future quantum attacks without changing Bitcoin’s protocol. The catch? Each transaction could cost $75 to $200 in GPU computation, compared to today’s ~33-cent fee. QSB replaces traditional ECDSA signatures with hash-based proofs — like tamper-proof fingerprints that even quantum computers can’t easily forge. It works entirely within Bitcoin’s current rules, no soft fork needed. That makes it a true emergency backup, unlike proposals like BIP-360, which are more scalable long-term but face years of governance delays. Still, QSB has serious trade-offs. Transactions won’t work with Lightning Network, require heavy off-chain computation, and must be sent directly to miners. Levy calls it a “last resort,” not a replacement for protocol upgrades. But if quantum computers arrive before Bitcoin upgrades, QSB could be the only way to keep funds safe. For now, it’s a pricey hedge — but one that could matter if the quantum threat accelerates. , ,

Levy calls it a “last resort,” not a replacement for protocol upgrades. But if quantum computers arrive before Bitcoin upgrades, QSB could be the only way to keep funds safe.

For now, it’s a pricey hedge — but one that could matter if the quantum threat accelerates.
