As Bitcoin (BTC) attempted yet another rally towards $85,000 on April 1, Justin Bons, the founder and CIO of Cyber Capital, took to X to bash the world’s premier cryptocurrency. Specifically, Bons argued that BTC is, in 2025, a mere outdated dinosaur that, while being a successful experiment, is no longer in a position to disrupt the world of finance in any way, shape, or form. The Cyber Capital founder highlighted Bitcoin’s lack of ability to process numerous transitions per second, describing them as severely lagging behind other blockchains, and warned the flaw could easily prove catastrophic for investors and mining companies.

The long standing legal battle between the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Ripple reached its apparent conclusion after Brad Garlinghouse announced on March 19 that the agency would ‘drop the case’, causing an immediate surge in XRP’s market capitalization. To be more precise, March 19 saw the token’s market cap skyrocket from $132.66 billion to $148.63 billion. The 12.03% surge was short-lived, however, as the ensuing market-wide downturn proved stronger. By press time on March 31, XRP’s market capitalization had receded to $122.53 billion, for a total loss of $26.1 billion since the announcement.

Cryptocurrency trader and analyst Ali Martinez is leaning bullish on an altcoin that’s less than two months old while unveiling his forecast for XRP (XRP) and Sui (SUI). Martinez tells his 134,300 followers on the social media platform X that the native token of Berachain (BERA), the newly launched crypto project focused on decentralized finance (DeFi), could go up by up to 70% if the altcoin manages to break above a key resistance level. “Berachain is up 65% in the past two weeks and is now testing the upper boundary of this channel. A breakout here could open the gates to $14!” Source: Ali Martinez/X Berachain, whose mainnet was launched early last month, is trading at $8.23 at time of writing. Next up is XRP. According to Martinez, the payments-focused altcoin is currently forming a head-and-shoulders pattern on the daily time frame. A head-and-shoulders pattern is typically considered bearish as it suggests that an asset is unable to sustain its ...

Germany’s Social Democratic Party (SPD) wants to abolish the country’s one-year crypto-holding tax exemptions and replace them with a capital income tax of 30% on all crypto profits. That’s according to a published excerpt of coalition negotiations between the SPD, the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), and the Christian Social Union (CSU). On taxation of capital income, the SPD claimed, “We are increasing the withholding tax rate on private capital income to 30 percent. We are taxing income from cryptocurrencies as capital income.” Educational crypto platform Blocktrainer claims the proposed change is “ a planned flat-rate tax of 30% on all crypto profits, regardless of the holding period.” It also claims it “would de facto make bitcoin unusable as a means of payment in Germany.” CHART: How bitcoin and crypto are taxed across the G7 Read more: Ukraine to tax crypto like securities when it becomes legal next year Germany currently has a 12-month window wh...

This morning, Donald Trump’s publicly-traded Truth Social operator announced that it has picked Crypto.com as a launch partner for ETFs containing bitcoin (BTC), Cronos (CRO), and other crypto assets “with a Made in America focus.” The partnership is curious for many reasons, not least of all Crypto.com’s very not-Made-in-America history in Asia and Europe. CEO Kris Marszalek spent most of his career in Singapore and Hong Kong , and Crypto.com’s current world headquarters is in Singapore . (Its North American division has a headquarters in Texas.) The giant crypto exchange once offered a debit card powered by Germany -based Wirecard and established a regional headquarters in France . However, Crypto.com’s non-USA operations are far less interesting than its dubious financial history.  Un-burning CRO to inflate the supply 156% Just this month, a Crypto.com subsidiary proposed the reversal of its 70 billion CRO token burn.

World Network (formerly Worldcoin) is still 988.4 million users short of its goal of onboarding one billion people by 2023, after verifying fewer than 12 million users so far, using its dystopian eye-scanning Orbs.   The company’s lofty goal was announced way back in 2021, however, World Network still isn’t close to hitting it. In July 2024, Protos reported that the firm had secured 6 million verifications. Now, eight months later, it has almost doubled its verified user base to 11.64 million. World Network has also tripled the number of active orbs in circulation since last year to 1,510. At the rate detailed above — an average of 705,000 sign-ups per month — it would take the company around 117 years to hit its target .  Read more: Worldcoin rebrands to World after missing eyeball target by 99.4% Worldcoin rebranded to World Network, or “World” for short, in October 2024.

BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes says Bitcoin will hit $110K before its next major correction as Japan-based investment firm Metaplanet announces it bought another 150 BTC and Strategy’s Michael Saylor teased an impending Bitcoin purchase. The crypto market leader’s price rebounded over 3% in the last trading session to rise from a 24-hour low of $84,174.10 to trade at $87,125.46 as of 1:14 a.m. EST.

A new survey shows a significant percentage of institutional investors want to increase their exposure to crypto in 2025. The top US crypto exchange Coinbase and the strategy consulting firm EY-Parthenon polled decision-makers at 352 institutional investors to gain insights on their crypto investment plans, market sentiment and future expectations. According to the survey, 85% of the respondents increased their allocations to digital assets and related products last year, and nearly the same percentage plan to continue doing so in 2025.

Crypto strategist Michaël van de Poppe says Bitcoin (BTC) may take off on a series of rallies if it can break through a key resistance level in the coming days. The analyst tells his 782,000 followers on the social media platform X that Bitcoin needs to flip $84,500 into support this week in order to regain bullish momentum. However, he warns if Bitcoin fails to break through $84,500, the flagship crypto asset may collapse in price. “I really want to see some momentum on Bitcoin. If it doesn’t happen this week and we’ll break sub $82,000, likely we’ll see some new lows. Break $84,500 equals party time.” Source: Michaël van de Poppe/X Looking at his chart, the analyst says if Bitcoin fails to reclaim $84,500 as support this week, there are two likely outcomes. “Two scenarios, as Bitcoin faces crucial resistance here: Reject and find a higher low [around $82,000]. Reject and double-bottom retest [in the $70,000 range] before...
