The U.S.-based Bitcoin mining firm has raised more than $300 million in total capital from its investors.
Kula, a blockchain-powered impact investment firm, has rolled out a governance token designed to give investors and local communities shared control over real-world asset projects. The $KULA token , which debuted April 15, gives holders the chance to vote on key investment decisions, including project funding, treasury allocations, and governance strategies. The initiative combines traditional management structures with decentralized blockchain participation, aiming to bring transparency and local representation to projects historically shaped by external investors, according to a note shared with crypto.news. Token holders will have full voting rights and cannot delegate or proxy their votes, a move the company says will increase accountability and direct participation. Kula’s governance model is structured around tokenizing decision-making in ESG-aligned projects, with smart contracts used to deploy funds to independently approved infrastructure and development initiatives. The token is currently listed at $0.07 on several exchanges, including MEXC.com, Coins.ph, and Coins.xyz.

This April, while crypto headlines recycle the usual top movers, a powerful trio is quietly making waves under the surface: MAGACOINFINANCE , Ethereum (ETH) , and Bitcoin (BTC) . They may not all be trending simultaneously, but together, they represent three different angles of strength—legacy, infrastructure, and stealth momentum. Meanwhile, utility-based projects like Cardano (ADA) , Chainlink (LINK) , and Avalanche (AVAX) remain reliable forces, supporting the backbone of blockchain activity. STAGE 7 LIVE NOW — TIME IS RUNNING OUT MAGACOINFINANCE – The Stealth Move Before the Surge Sometimes the loudest projects crash first—and the quiet ones rise hardest.

At a current price of $0.0002908 , with a listing target of $0.007 , this altcoin has a built-in 25x ROI window that early adopters are quietly capitalizing on. The FOMO isn’t on the surface yet—it’s brewing behind the scenes. Wallet creation is rising. Private chats are dissecting the tokenomics. And X (Twitter) circles are starting to pay close attention to its volume spike. For seasoned traders, this is the phase where positioning early can pay off exponentially later. If you wait until it’s trending—you’re already too late. The move is happening now. MAGACOIN FINANCE UNDER $0.0004 — 100x COMING!

Lower prices and stagnation can be expected moving forward.
The crypto market may be entering a new period of long-lasting decline, known as a “crypto winter.” According to Coinbase Institutional, several signs suggest that the market is weakening. Falling prices, reduced investment, and growing global uncertainty point to a major market downturn. Altcoin Market Drops Sharply David Duong, Head of Research at Coinbase Institutional, shared a report on Tuesday showing how much the crypto market has fallen. The total crypto market cap, excluding Bitcoin (BTC), has dropped to $950 billion. This is a 41% fall from its $1.6 trillion peak in December 2024 and 17% lower than it was at the same time last year. Duong pointed out that this drop is even worse than most of the decline between August 2021 and April 2022. While altcoins have dropped significantly, Bitcoin has only fallen by less than 20%. This means the leading cryptocurrency is now more stable than most others. Duong also said venture capital investment in crypto increased slightly in the first quarter of 2025. However, it is still 50% to 60% lower than in 2021 and 2022. This drop in funding is a problem, especially for smaller altcoins. With less investment funding, starting new projects and growing the crypto industry is harder. Coinbase on Impact of Price Swings A 20% rise or fall in the stock market often signals a new trend. However, crypto prices can move more than 20% without real change. Duong said looking at other signs to understand the market is better. He suggested using tools like risk-adjusted performance and the 200-day moving average. He explained that the 200-day moving average (200DMA) is useful for spotting market trends. If prices stay above the 200DMA, the market is strong. If prices stay below it, the market may be weak. Tariff Fears Add More Pressure It was pointed out that crypto prices are falling partly because of worries about global trade policies . President Donald Trump recently talked about adding new tariffs. This made many investors nervous. These global issues, higher interest rates, and falling stock prices are making it harder for people to invest in risky assets like crypto. Even though the market is weak, Duong believes there could be a turnaround later in the year. He said prices may find support around the middle or end of the second quarter of 2025. If investor confidence improves, crypto could begin to recover in the third quarter. However, Duong also said that investors should be careful for now. The market is still facing many risks, and recovery may take time. Nevertheless, once market sentiment improves, recovery can happen quickly.

According to the latest data shared by crypto analyst Alphractal, only 9.6% of Bitcoin holders are at a loss. This rate stands out as one of the lowest in history when compared to past major market crashes. Alphractal summarizes this situation by comparing it with data from previous years: 2012: 84.7% loss 2015: 76% loss 2018: 56.2% loss 2020: 59% loss 2021: 29.5% loss 2022: 49% loss Early 2024: 21.6% loss As of today, around 90% of addresses are in profit, indicating that current market health is quite strong, according to the analytics company. Related News: BREAKING: Technology Company Semler Scientific Steps Up to Buy $500 Million Bitcoin (BTC) - Major Development In the analysis presented by Alphractal, not only Bitcoin but also data on the general crypto market attracts attention: The number of active cryptocurrencies on CoinMarketCap continues to decline. There are currently at least 818 active cryptocurrency exchanges with liquidity in the market. The total number of trading pairs decreased from 105 thousand to 100,900. Altcoin dominance (excluding stablecoins) is only at 27.84%. The total market dominance of Bitcoin and stablecoins has exceeded 72%, the highest level since 2020. This data indicates that the current market cycle is very different from previous cycles, according to the analytics company. Even if the number of active altcoins increases, the dominance of the market remains with Bitcoin and stablecoins. The Alphractal analyst points out that this does not mean that an altcoin season is impossible, but shows how strong Bitcoin remains even amidst the competition. *This is not investment advice.

Matthew Sigel, Head of Digital Asset Research at VanEck, has unveiled a Bitcoin concept to help the U.S. manage $14 trillion in debt. Sigel’s proposal, called "BitBonds," is an investment product that combines the reliability of traditional U.S. Treasury bonds with the potential growth of Bitcoin. The goal is to protect investors from inflation and asset debasement while simultaneously assisting the U.S. government in financing its debt.Structure of BitBondsBitBonds would function as 10-year instruments, with 90% of investor capital allocated to low-risk Treasury securities, and the remaining 10% invested in Bitcoin. Sigel’s design also involves the U.S. government purchasing Bitcoin with the funds raised from these bonds. Investors would receive all BTC gains until the maximum annual gain of 4.5%. From this point, the investor would split the gains equally with the government. According to Sigel, this arrangement is an aligned solution for mismatching incentives.The investor perspective on BitBonds is centered on the opportunity for significant returns. Sigel noted that investors could expect a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for Bitcoin between 8% and 17%, depending on the bond's coupon rate. In a favorable scenario, where Bitcoin's performance exceeds expectations, returns could soar with a CAGR of 30% to 50%. However, the structure also introduces risk. While investors would share in Bitcoin's upside, they would also be exposed to its downside. If Bitcoin fails to meet growth expectations, this could diminish the attractiveness of lower-coupon bonds.https://twitter.com/matthew_sigel/status/1912228237259993160Risk Mitigation for the U.S. GovernmentFor the U.S. government, the risks associated with BitBonds are limited. Even in the worst-case scenario, where Bitcoin loses all its value, the government would still benefit from lower funding costs than traditional bond issuance. This would be the case as long as the coupon rate remains below the breakeven point. Sigel emphasized that, in such a scenario, the government would have secured inexpensive funding while retaining the potential upside from Bitcoin's growth. This hybrid structure, therefore, offers the government a way to address its fiscal challenges while keeping exposure to Bitcoin’s volatility at a manageable level.Senator Lummis’ National Debt Cut StrategySigel's BitBonds proposal is in close alignment with Senator Cynthia Lummis's vision. Lummis has advocated for the U.S. government to acquire Bitcoin as a strategy to manage national debt. She proposed that the U.S. acquire 200,000 Bitcoin annually over the next five years, ultimately accumulating 1 million tokens. The senator believes this strategy could help reduce the national debt by up to 50% over the next two decades. According to Lummis, Bitcoin’s long-term potential could serve as an asset for fiscal stability, particularly after the significant monetary expansion during the COVID-19 pandemic, which she argued led to the devaluation of the U.S. dollar.
Ethereum (ETH) derivative markets are going through another big accumulation. Historically, derivative market inflows are linked to big price moves. Ethereum (ETH) derivative markets are having another day of peak inflows. Data by CryptoQuant analysts show over 77,000 ETH flowed into derivative exchanges. Similar inflows were observed on March 26 and April 3, followed by an ETH crash to a lower range. ETH inflows to derivative exchanges signaled a potentially big price move, with the possibility of another downward shift. | Source: Cryptoquant The inflows signal arrives at a time when ETH sentiment is bearish, and the market price has broken below the growth trend since the 2022 bear market. For some analysts, the current low sentiment may be a sign of a market bottom, while for others, another drawdown is possible. The current inflows to derivative exchanges surpass the previous inflows of around 65K ETH. The token is closely watched for signs of a bigger price move, especially with the current price pressures. ETH is at a crossroads, with traders waiting for either a breakout or a new crash to a lower range. After the recent inflow to exchanges, ETH open interest is slightly up to $8.28M, with around 35% in short positions. The current price action follows a period of accumulation and signs of whales buying. The overall ETH balance in accumulation addresses has also surged in Q1 and retained the trend in April. Whales also try to re-buy ETH at a lower range, after selling at local peaks. ETH liquidity puts the token at a crossroads The price move for ETH is not guaranteed to be on the downside. Based on the Ethereum positions heat-map, the market is accruing liquidity both around the $1,500 level, and as high as $1,700 for short positions. From the current price level, it remains uncertain which positions would be attacked first. ETH traded around $1,590.22, showing some weakness after retaining the $1,600 level for a day. The asset still traded near its lows of 0.019 BTC. While ETH expects a breakout, a new slump to a lower range is also seen as a possibility. ETH currently trades on renewed risks based on the US tariff policy against China. Ethereum also reflects the health of the overall DeFi sector, as the chain carries over 49% of all value. The chain remains indispensable for DeFi apps, but the value of ETH reflects the general confidence in the crypto ecosystem. DeFi rebuilds ETH liquidity After a period of liquidations, DeFi protocols are rebuilding their liquidity positions, showing the new risk profile for ETH. Currently, DeFi lending protocols carry $937M in positions that can be liquidated if ETH falls to a lower range. The biggest accumulation of liquidity is at $917.99, where most whales decided to secure their loans. Some of the borrowers have taken out loans with a liquidation price of $1,123,390, mostly on MakerDAO. However, borrowers remain extremely cautious in rebuilding their positions. There are almost no loans with a liquidation price in the $1,500 and $1,400 range. ETH still holds over $47B in total value locked, led by Aave and liquid staking protocols.
