#BTCvsMarkets A White House official confirms that reports on Bitcoin and cryptocurrency holdings will be published tomorrow
Federal agencies have a deadline of Monday to report their Bitcoin and cryptocurrency holdings to the Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, a White House official confirmed today to journalist Eleanor Terrett.
The report is part of President Trump's executive order from March 6 that establishes a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and a Digital Assets Reserve.
The executive order, detailed in a presidential document from March 11, requires all federal agencies to disclose their Bitcoin and digital asset holdings to the Treasury Secretary within 30 days.
It is still unclear whether the results will be made public, as the order does not require public disclosure of the findings. The Treasury Secretary will oversee two new offices that will manage the government's digital assets. The Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, designed as a "digital Fort Knox," will house bitcoins obtained through criminal or civil forfeiture and will hold them long-term without selling.
The assets of the digital assets reserve, like the Bitcoin reserve, will only be acquired through criminal or civil forfeiture. However, the Treasury's ability to liquidate these assets for active management distinguishes it from the Bitcoin reserve.
Trump previously mentioned Ethereum, XRP, Solana, and Cardano as part of his cryptocurrency reserve proposal.
However, both the White House cryptocurrency czar, David Sacks, and Trump’s chief cryptocurrency advisor, Bo Hines, clarified that the mentions reflect the president's recognition of these coins as leading cryptocurrencies by market capitalization.
$BTC Bitcoin falls 7% as Wall Street futures plummet ahead of Monday's opening
Between 5:00 PM and 8:00 PM on Sunday, April 6, the digital asset economy contracted by another $50 billion, dropping from $2.53 trillion to $2.48 trillion. Bitcoin (BTC) hit its low ($77,098) around 7:24 PM ET and has since slightly rebounded to $77,654. The cryptocurrency seems to function as a rough indicator of the upcoming Wall Street opening, a theory that aligns with the behavior of the futures market.
Along with BTC, alternative cryptocurrencies experienced significant declines on Sunday, bringing the collective valuation of all digital assets other than Bitcoin below $1 trillion, standing at $930 billion. BTC has fallen 6.3% today and is 28.3% below its all-time high reached three months ago. Although it briefly touched $76,900, the coin has yet to surpass the figure of $76,600 recorded last on March 10, 2025, but it has been getting closer to that level.
#DiversifyYourAssets Diversifying your cryptocurrency portfolio is a wise decision that can help you minimize the risks associated with investing in cryptocurrencies. The cryptocurrency market is highly volatile, and investing all your money in a single cryptocurrency can be risky. By diversifying your portfolio, you can spread your investments across multiple cryptocurrencies, which can help you reduce the impact of market fluctuations on your overall portfolio.
There are several benefits to diversifying your cryptocurrency portfolio, including: 1. Minimizing risk: Diversifying your cryptocurrency portfolio can help you minimize the risk of losing your entire investment in case one cryptocurrency underperforms. By investing in a variety of cryptocurrencies, you can reduce the risk of losing all your money in the event of a market downturn.
2. Increasing potential returns: Diversifying your portfolio can also increase your potential returns. By investing in a variety of cryptocurrencies, you increase your chances of investing in one that performs exceptionally well. By diversifying your portfolio, you can take advantage of the potential growth of multiple cryptocurrencies.
3. Exposure to different technologies: Diversifying your cryptocurrency portfolio can also provide you with exposure to different blockchain technologies. Each cryptocurrency has its own unique technology, and by investing in multiple cryptocurrencies, you can learn more about the different blockchain technologies and their potential applications.
4. Hedge against inflation: Cryptocurrencies can be used as a hedge against inflation. By investing in a wide range of cryptocurrencies, you can protect your portfolio against inflation and monetary fluctuations.
5. Learning opportunities: By diversifying your cryptocurrency portfolio, you can learn more about the different cryptocurrencies and their potential applications.
#PowellRemarks Powell does not promise to loosen monetary policy; the Fed will focus on inflation
Investors who were hoping for a moderate shift in the Fed's stance after the president's tariff announcement on Wednesday and the subsequent two-day drop in stock prices will have to wait at least a little longer.
"We are well positioned to wait for greater clarity before considering any adjustment to our policy stance," said Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell in a prepared speech for the Annual Conference of the Society for the Advancement of Business Editing and Writing. "It is too early to determine what the appropriate trajectory for monetary policy will be."
Pointing out that the tariffs are "significantly higher" than expected, Powell said it is the Fed's job to ensure that what will surely be a temporary increase in inflation does not become persistent.
Bitcoin (BTC), with a slight rebound before Powell's speech, perhaps in the hope that he would adopt a more moderate stance, has retreated below $83,000, virtually unchanged from 24 hours ago. The cryptocurrency is performing much better than stocks, with the Nasdaq now down 4.2% after yesterday's 6% drop.
Minutes before Powell's speech, the president threw down the gauntlet to the Fed chairman. "This would be the perfect time for Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell to cut interest rates," Trump said in a post on Truth Social. "He always arrives late, but now he could change his image quickly... Cut interest rates, Jerome, and stop politicizing."
#TrumpTariffs The Reaction of Bitcoin to Trump's Tariffs
Following Trump's announcement of reciprocal tariffs affecting a wide range of U.S. trading partners, the price of Bitcoin fell significantly.
In particular, it traded as high as $88,000 yesterday before plummeting to $82,000 today.
Similarly, stocks initially recorded gains but suffered substantial losses shortly after Trump's announcement.
Bitcoin's response reflected greater market concern over the potential global economic impact. However, Bitcoin experts like Lavish find this trend change worrisome.
A prominent analyst on X, Coinvo, noted an increase in Google searches for the term "tariffs," suggesting that general public concerns about tariffs may have contributed to the fluctuations in Bitcoin's price.
However, the analyst suggested that Bitcoin's market performance could recover once retailers lose their fear of these trade barriers. Other market observers pointed out the critical price levels that Bitcoin maintained despite the volatility induced by tariffs.
$BTC Expert criticizes Bitcoin sellers for Trump's tariffs and says they have no idea what they own
James Lavish, a macro investor and managing partner of the Bitcoin Opportunity Fund, has recently criticized traders selling BTC for the impact of U.S. tariffs.
Lavish stated that those selling Bitcoin due to tariffs "have no idea what they own". His comments came after Bitcoin experienced a drop in its value following the announcement of new tariffs by President Donald Trump.
Lavish has been a Bitcoin advocate, sharing bullish posts about BTC. Previously, he stated that as Bitcoin adoption grows, its volatility will continue, urging investors to embrace it. He also predicted that Bitcoin could reach a price of $120,000.
With Alpha 2.0, Binance sets a new standard for interoperability between CEX and DEX platforms. By addressing common issues such as high transaction costs and the complexity of asset transfers, Binance makes it easier for users to interact with digital assets in their early stages. As the platform continues to evolve, Alpha 2.0 is poised to play a key role in the future of cryptocurrency trading.
Binance has presented Alpha 2.0, a major update to its Binance Alpha platform. This new version is designed to enhance interoperability between CEX and DEX, offering users a more agile and efficient trading experience. By integrating Alpha 2.0 directly into the Binance exchange, the platform eliminates the need for external wallets, thus simplifying the purchase of on-chain tokens.
Enhanced features for a better user experience The standout feature of Alpha 2.0 is its ability to facilitate the purchase of on-chain tokens directly on the Binance exchange. Users can now use funds from their Binance spot and funding accounts to buy Alpha tokens without transferring assets to external wallets.
This integration not only reduces transaction costs but also expands the range of supported assets, including Solana and Base tokens, which can now be purchased with USDC.
To further enhance the user experience, Binance has introduced a dedicated "Alpha" tab in the Markets section of its platform. This new feature offers real-time charts, project details, and trading options for the tokens included in Alpha, making it easier to navigate and interact with the platform.
In an effort to make trading more accessible, Binance has announced a six-month commission-free promotion for transactions made through Binance Wallet's Swap and Bridge features. This promotion, valid from March 17 to September 17, aims to encourage users to explore the new capabilities of Alpha 2.0. However, standard network gas fees will still apply, and transactions made through third-party decentralized applications (dApps) will not be eligible for the fee exemption.
#BSCMemeCoins Merchants commit to boycotting Binance amid outrage after the liquidation of $3.9 million in meme coins
The meme coin Solana, Act I: The AI Prophecy (ACT), plummeted 55% in less than an hour on Tuesday, following the liquidation of positions worth millions of dollars on Binance. This has led to a social media campaign to stop using the popular centralized exchange, driven by the hashtag #BoycottBinance.
Traders believed that these liquidations occurred after the exchange modified its leverage and margin levels. In summary, Binance increased the amount of collateral that traders needed to maintain leveraged positions, both long and short. Users who did not adjust their margin accordingly saw their accounts liquidated.
In the hour following the change, according to CoinGlass, ACT positions worth over $3.89 million were liquidated, primarily long contracts, on Binance, while the token plummeted 55%, triggering a cascade of liquidations on other platforms, including $785,540 on Bybit and $612,600 on OKX. Over a 24-hour period, according to DEX Screener, ACT fell 66%, dropping from a market capitalization of $179.4 million to $60.5 million.
Binance later stated in a blog post that the drop was caused by four users who sold approximately $ 1,0150,000 in ACT on the exchange, adding that it is opening an investigation into the incident. "We understand the concerns of the ACT community regarding today's unexpected price action and want to clarify that these market movements were beyond our control," the ACT X (formerly Twitter) account posted. "We will publish a post-mortem report once the situation is fully clear and the solutions we are working on are definitive."
#CircleIPO Circle plans an IPO and aims for a valuation of up to 5 billion dollars
Circle Internet Financial, issuer of the popular stablecoin USD Coin (USDC), is preparing to go public through an initial public offering (IPO). According to reports, the company has collaborated with major financial institutions, such as JPMorgan Chase and Citi, for the process. According to sources familiar with the matter, Circle intends to publicly file its IPO documentation by the end of April 2025, with a valuation of between 4 billion and 5 billion dollars.
This move marks an important milestone for Circle, which previously attempted to go public through a merger with a SPAC. In July 2021, Circle announced a merger with Concord Acquisition Corp, initially valuing the company at 4.5 billion dollars. However, the valuation was later revised to 9 billion dollars, before the deal was canceled in December 2022 due to unfavorable market conditions and increasing regulatory scrutiny. The decision to opt for a direct IPO suggests renewed confidence in the market and the company's financial strength.
Circle is known for issuing USDC, one of the leading stablecoins in the world, which maintains a 1:1 parity with the US dollar. As of March 2025, USDC had a market capitalization of approximately 60 billion dollars, making it a key player in the cryptocurrency ecosystem. The stablecoin has established itself as the preferred means for payments, remittances, and decentralized finance (DeFi) applications.
The company has continued to expand its global presence and strengthen its partnerships in both the cryptocurrency and traditional finance sectors. Aiming to strategically position itself ahead of its IPO, Circle announced earlier this year that it would relocate its headquarters from Boston to New York.
$USDC Sony Electronics Singapore accepts USDC payments through its partnership with Crypto.com
Sony Electronics Singapore has announced the acceptance of payments with the stablecoin USDC through a partnership with Crypto.com. This integration reflects the growing adoption of stablecoins in Singapore and the Asia-Pacific region in general.
The announcement, made on April 2, highlights Sony Electronics Singapore's initiative to incorporate cryptocurrencies into its payment options. Chin Tah Ang, general manager of Crypto.com Singapore, stated that the collaboration aims to popularize cryptocurrency payments and simplify transactions for consumers.
This move is part of a broader trend of increasing acceptance of stablecoins among retailers in Singapore. By the end of February, Metro, a publicly traded department store chain, also began allowing customers to pay with stablecoins like Tether's USDt. These advancements indicate a shift towards the integration of digital currencies into everyday commerce.
Singapore's regulatory environment has contributed to its emergence as a hub for cryptocurrency and blockchain technology. Reports indicate that the country issued double the number of cryptocurrency licenses in 2024 compared to the previous year, suggesting a proactive approach to fostering innovation in the sector.
William Croisettier, growth director at ZKcandy, noted that Singapore's focus on investor protection through risk-adjusted regulation facilitates partnerships between cryptocurrency companies and local banks.
In a related development, it is reported that Singapore Gulf Bank, a digital banking entity, seeks to raise at least $50 million to acquire a stablecoin payments company in 2025. This reflects the ongoing interest in the stablecoin sector within the region.

#BSCTradingTips "The worst mistake in history": Woman throws away husband's USB with a fortune in bitcoins
During a routine cleaning, a British woman decided to throw away a USB that seemed unimportant. Days later, her husband asked about a memory stick where he kept his fortune in cryptocurrencies. That was when Ellie Hart realized the "worst mistake" she had made, reports The Daily Star. Ellie saw the memory stick in a drawer next to piles, tangled cables, and old correspondence and, without thinking, threw everything in the trash, believing it was a USB from her school.
However, it belonged to her husband, Savvy Tom, who had bought bitcoins in 2013 when their price was relatively low. Over the years, the investment reached an approximate value of 3 million pounds (more than 3.8 million dollars).
The couple attempted to remedy the mistake. They emptied the trash bags with a mix of "panic and hope," but Ellie knew it was "already too late." Now, the marriage is struggling to move forward after the incident.
"That money would have been our future: a house, a vacation, everything… and I threw it away along with a bunch of junk mail," the woman stated, assuring that her husband has had an "incredible" attitude by not making her feel guilty. "He hasn't yelled at me or blamed me, but his silence says it all," she expressed. "I would do anything to undo it. I never thought something so valuable could seem so ordinary," she added.
Shares of Strategy (MSTR) rose 4.42% to $301 in Tuesday's trading session, reaching an intraday high of $307.60, reflecting continued investor enthusiasm for the company’s bold strategy in Bitcoin (BTC).
With an impressive figure of 528,185 BTC, Strategy has become a powerhouse among companies adopting cryptocurrencies, which has driven its stock value up over 2500% in the last five years.
This aggressive accumulation, primarily driven by the issuance of common and preferred shares, demonstrates the company’s commitment to consolidating Bitcoin as a key asset in its treasury.
Last week, Strategy raised over $711 million through its series of preferred shares STRF, adding to the $18.6 billion already obtained from its $21 billion common stock program in the market, showing an unrelenting pace in its funding efforts.
However, not everyone is convinced that this trajectory will continue. Monness Crespi analyst Gus Gala downgraded the recommendation for MSTR to "Sell," establishing a price target of $220, implying a nearly 29% drop from its current level of $307.
Gala's skepticism arises from the belief that Strategy’s heavy reliance on stock issuance — having already utilized $18.6 billion of its $21 billion capacity — could soon hit a wall.
He suggests that the company’s ability to continue raising funds in this manner is reaching its limit, particularly following a shift towards convertible debt after the start of its "Neutral" coverage two weeks ago.
$BTC GameStop completes a $1.5 billion offering to finance Bitcoin reserves
Video game retailer GameStop said on Tuesday it has completed a $1.5 billion offering of senior convertible bonds to investors, with plans to use the proceeds in part to purchase Bitcoin to hold in its corporate treasury.
GameStop announced its plans for Bitcoin last week. First, it added the asset to its list of acceptable treasury assets and then announced it intended to raise $1.3 billion through the offering. An additional $200 million in bonds were also sold, according to the company’s filing with the SEC on Tuesday, as initially indicated as an option for the initial purchaser.
The sale of the senior convertible bonds, maturing on April 1, 2030, left GameStop with approximately $1.48 billion in net proceeds, less discounts for the initial purchaser and company expenses. As previously indicated, the filing states that the firm “anticipates using the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, including the acquisition of Bitcoin.”
By selling senior convertible bonds to boost Bitcoin purchases, GameStop is following the lead of Strategy, the public company with the largest amount of BTC in its treasury. As of this writing, Strategy holds 528,185 BTC, equivalent to just over $45 billion, since it began purchasing the leading cryptocurrency in 2020.
In February, GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen shared a picture of himself with MicroStrategy co-founder and Executive Chairman Michael Saylor, a strong advocate for corporate treasury reserves of Bitcoin.
