forklog.media K33 Warns of Bitcoin Liquidity Decline Ahead of Easter

In recent days, the volume of short positions on the leading cryptocurrency via ETF has surged by 22% to 9012 BTC. Such levels have been recorded only twice in history, analysts at K33 noted.  Bitcoin Short Position ETFs ProShares (BITI and SBIT). Source: K33.  The head of research at the firm, Vetle Lunde, pointed out that the current situation aligns with typical bottom formation stages, where the market is saturated with bearish positions. This is also hinted at by the persistence of negative funding rates.  Annual 30-day funding rates and duration of negative rate series in days. Source: K33.  "The average annual 30-day funding rates have remained negative for 32 consecutive days. In two weeks, this period could surpass the duration of negative rates observed from November to December 2022," he noted. Other on-chain data also suggest an approach to a cyclical low. According to CryptoQuant, the gap between Bitcoin's spot and realized price has narrowed from 120% at the end of 2024 to the current 21%. To reach the accumulation zone, where the bottom historically forms, the asset needs to drop by another 20%.  Low Liquidity Ahead of Holidays  K33 stated that Bitcoin traders are exhibiting "aggressive caution." The pressure is created by weak price dynamics, uncertainty surrounding the conflict in Iran, new warnings about quantum threats, and the approach of Easter—a time of low liquidity. A series of holidays in many countries leads to reduced trading volumes and volatility, as traditional markets are closed. This also affects cryptocurrencies, Lunde emphasized.  According to him, since 2019, Bitcoin's seven-day trading volumes during Easter weeks have consistently been below the annual average. A similar trend is observed with volatility—during these periods, it also systematically lags behind the annual average values. Bitcoin trading volumes during Easter relative to the annual average.

forklog.media Apollo Go Robotaxi Malfunction Leads to Road Accidents

Dozens of Apollo Go robotaxis from Baidu came to a halt in the middle of traffic on the roads of Wuhan, China. The situation resulted in collisions, trapping passengers inside the vehicles. NEW: Dozens of robotaxis by Baidu stopped on the road in Wuhan, causing crashes on highways and trapping passengers in the cars—some for more than an hour. One passenger told me it took her 30 minutes to even connect to a customer representative. Here’s a video of a crash. pic.twitter.com/fTitNMv8kj— Zeyi Yang 杨泽毅 (@ZeyiYang) April 1, 2026 One passenger reported that it took her half an hour to reach customer support. Eventually, people were able to safely exit the vehicles. The incident was confirmed by local traffic police. The department stated that some vehicles stopped right on the roadway. “Preliminary data indicates that the situation occurred due to a system failure,” the authorities stated. Authorities and Apollo Go staff continue to investigate. Wuhan is the largest site for the company's robotaxis, with over 1,000 autonomous vehicles operating in the city. Baidu is actively investing in and developing its autonomous transport division, akin to Alphabet, which owns Waymo. Both corporations have become leaders in the rapidly growing industry. Apollo Go faces strong competition from other Chinese developers of autonomous vehicles such as WeRide and Pony.ai. In the United States, a major player in this market is Elon Musk's Tesla. Apollo Go already offers commercial rides in several major cities, including throughout Wuhan and the suburbs of Beijing. In total, the vehicles operate or are being tested in 26 cities worldwide. In the fourth quarter of 2025, the service completed 3.4 million orders. In Western markets, Apollo Go collaborates with Uber and Lyft. Back in December, Waymo vehicles were stranded on city streets due to a power outage.

forklog.media Freedom, not decentralisation

Among privacy advocates and champions of free information, centralisation is commonly seen as the problem. Cypherpunks and enthusiasts have spent decades building decentralised alternatives; technologically, free money, communication and information already exist. Yet the egalitarian digital utopia never arrived: the mainstream still belongs to the centralised products of IT behemoths. In her essay The Federation Fallacy activist and developer Alyssa Rosenzweig argues that the key to freedom in the information age is neither centralisation nor decentralisation, but ideas of digital democracy.   This piece examines how the evolution of government maps onto online platforms—and why, even on the internet, anarchy is no answer to tyranny.  Centralisation is natural The average user of the open internet has tools to build personal information freedom and privacy. With some caveats, one can even achieve a degree of financial independence. A decentralised internet The internet remains, technically, a decentralised and open system to which anyone may connect. Anyone can spin up a server and a website. Many organisations maintain infrastructure and offer services to businesses and users. No single entity can, at will, control the system in its entirety.  Yet one clumsy move in an Amazon or Cloudflare server room can reverberate on a planetary scale, and access to the internet itself may become an unattainable privilege at the whim of the authorities in some countries.  Open email Email is also a decentralised system. Anyone may run a personal server and be responsible for their own correspondence. Most people cannot—or do not wish to—cope with the technical complexities and the costs of maintaining infrastructure.  Google has already set up the servers and offers a ready-made free service. It comes with spam filters, access to a whole ecosystem of products and the ability to tie your digital life to one account. You can, however, register your own domain and master the nuances of SPF, DKIM and DMARC.  Open messaging Jabber (the XMPP protocol) is likewise an open solution for online chat. You can run your own server that federates with other XMPP servers in full self-governance.  But the bulk of participants in this protocol are WhatsApp users, confined within the service. The app does not allow messaging with other XMPP systems. Mainstream centralised services offer convenience without technical know-how or costs. Free, decentralised alternatives remain the preserve of enthusiasts with specialist skills.  In such conditions Gmail, WhatsApp and other giants naturally remain the default for the vast majority of users. Mastodon’s failed success In Rosenzweig’s view, Mastodon—a decentralised rival to X—is one of the most promising examples of a federated system true to the ideals of freedom and decentralisation. Many independent instances interoperate under one protocol, and any user can create a new server for friends or colleagues.  In 2019 Rosenzweig analysed the Mastodon data then available. On average, each of 3,070 servers had 640 users. The distribution, however, was uneven.  The three largest instances covered 50.8% of users. Just two accounted for 41.2%. Distribution of Mastodon users across servers in 2019. Source: Alyssarosenzweig.ca. The Mastodon developers’ site lists more than 7,000 active instances with roughly 745,000 users as of March 2026. All have voluntarily agreed to the platform’s “code of honour”: to actively moderate problematic content and uphold safety. Meanwhile, the FediDB service counts the majority of registered servers and accounts: by its tally, there are over 9,000 and 8.5m, respectively.The flagship instance mastodon.social counts 284,000 active users.  Other large communities include: mstdn.jp — 413,167 registered accounts; mstdn.social — 271,540; mastodon.world — ~195,100; mastodon.cloud — ~189,000; mastodon.online — ~189,000; mas.to — ~188,000; techhub.social — ~86,000; infosec.exchange — ~80,000. The largest Mastodon servers by registered users. Source: FediDB. Rosenzweig argues that such consolidation marks a failure for Mastodon by the yardstick of decentralisation. In an ideal world, figures would sit closer to the arithmetic mean, and each of the thousands of servers would be a trusted community of users who know one another.  In practice, even technically decentralised systems sprout large centres of gravity around which users and resources concentrate. The result: in decentralised email there emerges Gmail; the XMPP technology led to centralised messengers such as WhatsApp; and corporations took charge of the World Wide Web. Centralisation is necessary… Describing the search for a realistic form of digital freedom, Rosenzweig turns to political history and the metamorphoses of states on the road to democratic society. The starting point is authoritarianism. Its online analogue is an internet under the sway of Silicon Valley giants—a kind of “digital dictatorship”. Toppling it ushers in a period of anarchy—naive decentralisation in which everyone bears individual responsibility for their data and freedoms.  This is a “bloody and short life”. Moreover, sooner or later the whole system risks collapse through the tragedy of the commons or the paradox of tolerance. The natural vector is towards some form of “order” and consolidated control. For Rosenzweig, naive anarchic decentralisation need not rebuild a smashed dictatorship or nourish techno-oligarchs. The alternative can be digital democracy. …but in moderation As European states show, a centralised democracy is no ideal—but it is a viable compromise. A certain degree of centralisation is necessary. It is the basis for an efficient administrative apparatus. Anyone can entrust control to an “administrator” and gain access to the system.  The key is that, under centralisation, the controlling entity remains accountable to users rather than to the self-interest of developers or corporate owners. Rosenzweig sketches her view of digital democracy with a microblogging platform. There is a flagship server with clear rules adopted via public consensus. When needed, those rules are enforced by a moderation team elected by the community.  The platform’s code should be open, and all functions available through an API. Users can then choose among different client apps and avoid lock-in to any official product. The developer stresses that many of these traits are largely realised in Mastodon. Hence, despite failure by decentralisation’s standards, the project can be seen as a success of digital democracy. Rosenzweig sees “Wikipedia” as another vivid, large-scale example. Despite significant centralisation, the project’s freedom is upheld by democratic principles and processes. Anyone can make edits, within limits, and conflicts are resolved by seeking consensus. Freedom through accessibility A viable system worth striving for will be a compromise between centralisation and freedom. It must be accessible to all, regardless of wealth or technical expertise.  The commercial interests of large corporations run counter to users’ interests. The technical barrier to building one’s own digital infrastructure denies mass consumers the benefits of decentralisation.  “Whether online or in the real world, to attain freedom it is not enough simply to reject dictatorship. We must support democracy,” concluded Rosenzweig. As in real life, the path to democracy will be anything but easy. Perhaps it can be built despite the dictatorship of technology giants and through the naive anarchy of decentralisation.  Even there, beyond the threshold of utopia, a free system will require active upkeep. Unfortunately, in the digital world, as in the real one, democracy easily turns against itself. Text: Krzysztof Szpak

CoinShares anticipates that listing on Nasdaq will support the expansion of its product line and improve access to analytical coverage and investment flows as cryptocurrencies integrate into traditional finance. “The listing is not just a change of venue. It reflects our growth from a pure ETP provider to a diversified manager specializing in digital assets,” commented Jean-Marie Monier, co-founder, president, and CEO of the company. CoinShares made its European debut in 2021 on the Stockholm Stock Exchange (Sweden).  Franklin Templeton to Launch Crypto Division  Financial giant Franklin Templeton, with $1.7 trillion under management, has agreed to acquire 250 Digital, a subsidiary of venture firm CoinFund, reports WSJ.  The terms of the deal are undisclosed. Upon completion, the new division will be named Franklin Crypto, focusing on pension and sovereign funds, as well as institutional investors.  “The current sell-off in the crypto market is a unique opportunity, and we felt the time was right. I am confident many will want to create a more stable platform for key players in trading,” noted Sandy Cole, head of Franklin Crypto, in a comment to the publication. The company already has a digital assets team of about 50 people. Franklin joined the crypto industry in 2018 and now offers tokenized funds, as well as spot bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs.  In March 2026, the asset manager partnered with Ondo Finance to transfer its exchange-traded funds to the blockchain.
