For at least seven years, North Korean IT specialists have been integrating themselves into DeFi projects. This was stated by MetaMask developer Taylor Monahan. YupppppppLots of DPRK IT Workers built the protocols you know and love, all the way back to defi summerThe “7 years blockchain dev experience” on their resume is not a lie. https://t.co/EQNgl5KhJ5— Tay 💖 (@tayvano_) April 5, 2026 “Many IT workers have been building the protocols you know and love since the days of 'DeFi summer'. The seven years of blockchain development experience on their resume is not a lie,” she wrote. Among those affected by North Korean individuals, the expert highlighted SushiSwap, Thorchain, Fantom, Shib, Yearn, Floki, and many other projects. Monahan's comments were in response to a statement by Tim Ahl, founder of the Solana aggregator Titan. He recounted interviewing a candidate at a previous job who later turned out to be a member of the Lazarus Group. “He was extremely skilled and always joined video calls. But when we invited him for an in-person meeting, he refused to fly over — we rejected his application. Later, his name appeared in a Lazarus leak. It turned out that the group now has agents not from North Korea who personally gain trust,” Ahl shared. The discussions arose amid a report by the Drift Protocol team, which suffered a $280 million hack. The developers claimed that North Korean hackers were behind the attack. Threat Assessment Blockchain detective ZachXBT, who has repeatedly highlighted the threat posed by North Korea to the crypto industry, joined the discussion. According to him, Lazarus Group is a collective name for all “cyber actors supported by North Korea.” Lazarus Group is the collective name for all DPRK state sponsored cyber actors.

Bitcoin could tumble to $10,000 if buyers fail to clear and hold $75,000, according to Mike McGlone, senior commodity strategist at Bloomberg Intelligence. Potential $10,000 Bitcoin in 2026Prove me wrong — stay above $75,000.Before the biggest money pump in history in 2020-21, Bitcoin hovered around $10,000, and it may be reverting. Roughly $10,000 is also the first-born crypto's most traded price since 2017, when futures were… pic.twitter.com/1PJvYiAFWa— Mike McGlone (@mikemcglone11) April 5, 2026 The significance of $75,000 The level flagged by the strategist has repeatedly marked shifts in market trends over the past 12 months. The March–April 2025 pullback stalled around $75,000, as did the early‑2024 rally. The mark also aligns with key Fibonacci retracement levels. A sustained move above $75,000 would signal a restoration of structural demand for bitcoin and an end to the downtrend that began after the October peak at $126,000, McGlone says.  If the digital gold fails to hold or turns lower again, it would remain in a long-term decline with a target of $10,000. At the time of writing, the first cryptocurrency is trading around $68,900.  Hourly chart of BTC/USDT on Binance. Source: TradingView.  A magnet level McGlone has not for the first time predicted a drop to $10,000. He grounds his view in the market’s historical structure: before the Covid‑19 pandemic, the price of the first cryptocurrency consolidated around that level for a long time.  The subsequent record influx of liquidity became one of the main drivers of the digital gold’s rise. “Before the biggest money injection in history in 2020–2021, bitcoin oscillated around $10,000, and a return to that level may occur. Around $10,000 is also the first-born crypto’s most traded price since 2017, when futures were launched,” the expert noted. In his view, another drag on the asset could be the “explosive growth of the crypto market.”  In 2017 bitcoin was the sector’s undisputed leader. Since then, however, millions of new tokens have appeared, competing for investors’ attention and diverting capital from the flagship. He called this glut of supply a structural headwind.  The “most durable trend” in the industry now is stablecoins, McGlone said. According to him, Tether will surpass Ethereum as early as 2026 and, over time, bitcoin as well. Short-term market dynamics Over the past 24 hours, bitcoin has risen by more than 3%. Altcoins showed similar moves: Ethereum added 4.1%, XRP 3.1%.  Source: CoinGecko.  Crypto market capitalisation increased by 2.5% to $2.4 trillion.  Liquidations over 24 hours exceeded $241 million, most of it shorts at $195 million.  Source: CoinGlass.  The sector proved resilient amid contradictory statements from US President Donald Trump. On April 5 he threatened that Iran would “live in hell” if it did not open the Strait of Hormuz.  Initially, the head of state gave Tehran ten days to resume shipping. His latest post, however, suggests the country has only until April 7.  At the same time, in an interview with Fox News Trump said the sides “are negotiating,” and called the chances of a deal within 24 hours “good.”   Traditional markets fell, except oil and gas:  BREAKING: US stock market futures fall at the open as President Trump declares Tuesday as “Power Plant and Bridge Day" in Iran:1.

Shares of AI startup Anthropic have become the most sought-after on the secondary market, while OpenAI's stocks are losing their allure for buyers. This is reported by TechCrunch, citing Glen Anderson, president of investment bank Rainmaker Securities. His organization has been acting as an intermediary in the private company stock market since 2010, covering around a thousand different firms. The expert confirmed Bloomberg's data on the frenzied demand for Anthropic. The CEO of Next Round Capital told the agency that potential buyers are ready to invest $2 billion in the startup. For comparison, current OpenAI stockholders cannot sell their assets even for $600 million. "The most elusive stocks on our trading platform are Anthropic's. There are simply no sellers," Anderson stated. Reasons for the Frenzy and OpenAI's Discount One factor driving the sharp increase in interest in Anthropic is the firm's conflict with the U.S. Department of Defense. "Their application has become more popular. People supported the company as a kind of hero challenging the government. This amplified the resonance and further distinguished the firm from OpenAI," the expert said. However, this does not mean that Sam Altman's startup is in dire straits, Anderson emphasized. Institutional investors still aim to invest in both companies. "I wouldn't say it's a choice between one or the other. But the enthusiasm is gone. It's not nearly as dynamic a market as Anthropic's," he noted. Anderson confirmed Bloomberg's information that OpenAI's shares on the secondary market are trading based on a total business valuation of $765 billion. The stocks are sold at a noticeable discount compared to the recent funding round, during which a valuation of $852 billion was mentioned. SpaceX: The Hidden Giant Valued at $2 Trillion Amid the competition between the two AI giants, the market often overlooks SpaceX. Anderson stated that it is one of the few companies in Rainmaker's portfolio that has never faced a severe correction and a 60–70% drop in stock value. Elon Musk's firm "has practically always grown and developed." As the analyst noted, the management adheres to strict pricing discipline and does not try to extract the maximum from each funding round. "Many companies are tempted to maximize their stock price in each round. The problem is that such an approach leaves no room for error," the expert said. This cautious approach has brought enormous profits to early investors. In 2015, Google and Fidelity invested $1 billion in SpaceX at a business valuation of $12 billion. Considering the target figures for the upcoming listing, their return could exceed the initial investment by more than 100 times. Record IPO and Market Impact It seems that Musk's company's listing is imminent. SpaceX has confidentially filed for an IPO, aiming to raise between $50 billion and $75 billion in June at a valuation of $1.75 trillion. Meanwhile, media reports indicate that SpaceX soon raised its target valuation to over $2 trillion. "Today, a whole stream of investors approached me asking if I could offer them SpaceX shares. Buyer demand is very active. But supply is drying up. The closer the IPO, the fewer incentives existing shareholders have to sell their stocks," Anderson stated. The large-scale listing of SpaceX could hinder similar plans by OpenAI and Anthropic this year. The expert suggested that those who follow the space company might find themselves at a disadvantage. "Funds allocated for IPOs are limited. SpaceX will absorb a significant portion of the liquidity," he added. With a valuation exceeding $2 trillion, SpaceX will become more valuable than all companies in the S&P; 500 except for the top five—Nvidia, Apple, Alphabet, Microsoft, and Amazon. Moreover, the listing will break the historical record of Saudi Aramco, which raised $29.4 billion in 2019 at a valuation of $1.7 trillion. The funds raised by SpaceX are intended for the creation of data centers in space and a city on the Moon. Back in January, Tesla revived the closed Dojo project for AI computations beyond Earth.
