Cardano CEO Talks About Bitcoin Potential, Says, “We Are Not Letting Go Of Wall Street, And That’s A Shame” “Wall Street is creeping in on us again, right? It’s sort of coming back. We’re not really letting go of it. And I think that’s a really big shame,” said Frederik Gregaard, CEO of the Cardano Foundation, during the Paris Blockchain Week on 10 April 2025. “It’s definitely not where I want to go,” Gregaard insisted. “The idea of Bitcoin was for the average person to get economic opportunities and to participate in a world which we were blocked out of.” The CEO of the Swiss-based non-profit organization took to the stage to discuss AI, blockchain, and the new economy. He also briefly spoke about MiCA. https://99bitcoins.com/news/cardano-ceo-talks-about-bitcoin-potential-says-we-are-not-letting-go-of-wall-street-and-thats-a-shame/

Bitcoiners were first to realize US economic data ‘was wrong’ — Pompliano Anthony Pompliano said Bitcoiners “figured out a way to financially capture upside if they were right.” Bitcoin holders were the first to point out flaws in the United States economic data and position themselves for the potential upside, says crypto entrepreneur Anthony Pompliano. “Bitcoiners were the first large-scale group to recognize the economic data was wrong, and they figured out a way to financially capture upside if they were right,” Pompliano said in an April 12 X post. https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoiners-realize-us-economic-data-flawed-anthony-pompliano

Babylon and Axelar Bring Bitcoin Staking to Over 70 Chains Four-billion-dollar bitcoin staking protocol Babylon and blockchain interoperability platform Axelar announced on Thursday, an integration that will provide self-custodial bitcoin ( BTC) staking to more than seventy chains. Babylon also unveiled on the same day, its Babylon Genesis blockchain, built using Cosmos’ CometBTF Interchain stack, and powered by a native token dubbed “baby.” What makes the Babylon protocol unique is its ability to enable holders of BTC to provide cryptographic security to proof-of-stake (PoS) networks in a self-custodial manner, without the need for intermediaries or bridges. And now, with the Axelar integration also in place, the baby token, which can be staked to secure the Genesis chain, will be made available to Axelar’s network of more than seventy blockchain platforms. https://news.bitcoin.com/babylon-and-axelar-bring-bitcoin-staking-to-over-70-chains/

Feds, SEC charge app maker with fraud, saying ‘AI’ service was Philippine workers US authorities have charged a tech app founder with fraud, alleging that his advertised artificial intelligence-powered e-commerce app actually relied on human workers in the Philippines. Albert Saniger of Barcelona, Spain, founder and former CEO of the company Nate, was charged with one count of securities fraud and wire fraud, the Justice Department said in an April 9 statement, while the Securities and Exchange Commission filed a parallel civil action. Court documents said Saniger founded Nate around 2018 and launched an app of the same name in July 2020, marketing it as an AI-powered universal shopping cart that offered users the ability to complete online retail transactions, including filling in shipping details and sizing, without human input. https://cointelegraph.com/news/feds-sec-charge-app-maker-fraud-ai-service-was-philippine-workers

Pakistan plans to fuel bitcoin mining with surplus electricity: Reuters Pakistan is considering using surplus electricity to power its bitcoin mining and AI data centers, Reuters reported Wednesday. The suggestion came from Bilal Bin Saqib, advisor to Pakistan's finance minister and CEO of the Crypto Council. Saqib reportedly said there have already been talks with several mining firms. The plan is expected to help the country overcome the challenge of having leftover energy amid high electricity tariffs and the expansion of alternative energy sources. The council will finalize the location of the mining centers based on excess power availability, Saqib told Reuters. https://www.theblock.co/post/350386/pakistan-plans-to-fuel-bitcoin-mining-with-surplus-electricity-reuters

Argentine lawmakers back Milei probe in Libra crypto scandal Lawmakers in Argentina’s Chamber of Deputies backed an investigation into President Javier Milei’s alleged involvement in the Libra (LIBRA) cryptocurrency scandal. According to an April 8 report by local news outlet Buenos Aires Times, deputies in the lower house voted 128 to 93 in favor, with seven abstentions. The same proposal previously failed to move forward in the Senate. The news follows Milei promoting the LIBRA memecoin on social media. With the Argentine president leveraging his credibility as a government official and his 3.8 million followers, the token quickly reached $5, briefly touching a market cap of $4 billion. https://cointelegraph.com/news/argentine-lower-house-backs-probe-into-milei-s-libra-scandal

Bitcoin Headed To $69,000? Analyst Says BTC’s Short-Term Future Hangs On These Levels The market volatility, fueled by the ongoing tariff war, saw Bitcoin (BTC) trade below the $75,000 mark for the first time since November. Despite recovering from the dip, the flagship crypto risks more short-term volatility if it doesn’t reclaim key support levels soon. Bitcoin ended the week with a price drop below the $80,000 support zone, closing Sunday below the $78,500 mark. In the early hours of Monday, the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization continued bleeding toward the $74,500 support zone before bouncing. https://www.newsbtc.com/news/bitcoin/bitcoin-headed-to-69000-analyst-says-btcs-short-term-future-hangs-on-these-levels/

XRP Holders Exhausted? Analyst Weighs In After Trump Sparks Market ‘Bloodbath’ Global financial markets suffered a severe beating after US President Donald Trump made a sweeping tariff declaration, with cryptocurrency XRP being one of the assets that recorded sharp price falls. The digital currency dropped from $2.20 to $1.75 during widespread selling pressure in both conventional and crypto markets. According to crypto analyst Oscar Ramos, the US stock market lost approximately $1.65 trillion when markets opened after Trump’s announcement. The president’s decision to impose tariffs on nearly every country worldwide triggered what some market watchers are calling a “financial bloodbath.” https://bitcoinist.com/xrp-holders-exhausted-analyst-weighs-in-after-trump-sparks-market-bloodbath/

Arthur Hayes loves tariffs as printed money pain is good for Bitcoin “Some of y'all are running scurred, but I LOVE TARIFFS,” Hayes said.

Hayes explained that tariffs positively impact Bitcoin's price for several reasons. https://cointelegraph.com/news/arthur-hayes-donald-trump-tariffs-bitcoin-price-pump

Did ChatGPT come up with Trump’s tariff rate formula? There’s a crazy theory on social media that US President Donald Trump's newly announced reciprocal tariff plan — which hits all countries with a minimum 10% tariff — could have been designed by an artificial intelligence chatbot. Only a short period after Trump announced the tariffs at the White House Rose Garden on April 2, some X users claim they were able to duplicate the same tariff plan with a rudimentary prompt using OpenAI’s ChatGPT. “I was able to duplicate it in ChatGPT,” NFT collector DCinvestor told his 260,000 followers on X following the Donald Trump announcement of reciprocal tariffs on 185 countries on April 2. https://cointelegraph.com/news/trump-tariff-rate-formula-replicated-chatgpt-observers-claim

XRP Could Hit Up To $29.30 In 'Max Scenario' By 2030: Bitwise What Happened: According to the report, XRP's blockchain, known as the XRP Ledger, is already being used to facilitate direct payments and cross-currency transactions. These operations make up the majority of the network's activity today. Bitwise highlights that the blockchain's future growth likely hinges on its utility in two key areas: converting real-world assets into tradable blockchain tokens and enabling global financial institutions to streamline transactions. "XRP Ledger's biggest opportunity may lie in asset tokenization," the report states, pointing to the system's built-in features for trading corporate bonds, equities, and other financial instruments with high speed and compliance-ready design​. https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/03/44539134/xrp-could-hit-up-to-2930-in-max-scenario-by-2030-bitwise
