Bitcoin below $68k is the danger zone. Apart from technical levels, option markets have extensive negative gamma built up here. Short Put dealers face losses in this region & will hedge this loss by shorting themselves. This creates a feedback loop where lower prices… pic.twitter.com/1b8TmJrcdq— Nic (@nicrypto) April 7, 2026 At the level highlighted by the expert, short put option sellers incur losses. To mitigate risks, they will start opening new short positions. This will create a "vicious circle": the fall in Bitcoin will require additional protective actions, further exacerbating the decline. In the past 24 hours, the price of digital gold has dropped by nearly 2%, failing to hold above $70,000. At the time of writing, the asset is trading around $68,300. According to Pakrin, if the current level is lost, Bitcoin's price risks falling to a potential bottom near $60,000. Hourly chart BTC/USDT on Binance. Source: TradingView. Risks of Decline Analysts at Bitfinex additionally noted the accumulation of downside risk in the derivatives market. Traders are increasingly betting on a sharper drop in the leading cryptocurrency. A negative gamma environment below $68,000 means any move lower accelerates.Put open interest is concentrated between $55,000 and $68,000.Bitcoin prices are stable, but the market is fragile.Bitfinex Alpha 199 explains what breaks the range. pic.twitter.com/46Y1Gt5C5O— Bitfinex (@bitfinex) April 6, 2026 Implied volatility in options remains in the 48-55% range, while actual price movements remain restrained. This gap indicates that investors are pricing in a high likelihood of future fluctuations, which have yet to materialize. Experts also identified the negative gamma zone below $68,000 as a key factor. In this area, market makers who sold protection against declines may begin to liquidate Bitcoin holdings to hedge their positions as the price falls. This could turn a gradual correction into a crash. Stability Without Foundation Analysts describe the current sideways movement of the leading cryptocurrency as a "fragile equilibrium": weakening spot demand and declining activity are keeping prices afloat on a thinning buyer base. Crypto treasuries — once a steady source of purchases — have significantly reduced their involvement. Strategy continues to accumulate, but other players (including MARA) have stepped aside or even sold some positions. The market has become increasingly dependent on a small number of participants rather than broad-based accumulation. Meanwhile, a large portion of the supply is concentrated above current prices — especially around $74,000. Investors who bought at higher levels are eager to exit on rebounds, limiting growth and strengthening resistance, Bitfinex concluded. In April, Bloomberg Intelligence senior commodity strategist Mike McGlone predicted a Bitcoin crash to $10,000 if the $75,000 level is lost.

Artificial intelligence will transform the banking sector, the labor market, and specific sectors of the global economy. This was stated by JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon in his annual letter to shareholders. He believes that the technology will impact nearly all aspects of the bank's operations and business processes—from customer service to internal systems. In the long term, this will have a "tremendously positive impact on productivity." "The pace of adoption will be much faster than previous technological transformations, such as electricity or the internet," the entrepreneur noted. Dimon highly praised the potential long-term impact of artificial intelligence on the labor sector, scientific research, and the overall quality of life in developed countries. "I don't think it would be an exaggeration to say: AI, among other positive outcomes, will help cure some types of cancer, create new composite materials, and reduce the number of deaths from accidents," said the head of one of the largest banks. As for the risks of the technology, Dimon mentioned deepfakes, the spread of disinformation, and cybersecurity threats. "But these can be managed if companies, regulators, and governments are prepared. The right approach requires careful preparation in advance, honest assessment, and discipline to fix what is broken without destroying what works," the expert stated. Investments and Unemployment Dimon's letter comes amid JPMorgan's increased investments in the artificial intelligence sector. In February, the bank announced its intention to spend $19.8 billion on the technology. This figure represents a sharp increase in the financial giant's expenditures compared to 2025. In October, Dimon reported that the financial institution spends about $2 billion on AI initiatives. In the letter, the entrepreneur addressed the issue of job losses due to large language models. According to him, the technology will change the labor market as companies implement automation in an increasing number of tasks. "AI will lead to the disappearance of some jobs, while others will become more efficient. Our company will have clear plans to support and redeploy affected employees," Dimon wrote. Concerns about job cuts are heightened by the growing capabilities of AI. In January, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei warned that the rapid development of neural networks could outpace the ability of labor markets and social institutions to adapt to changes. Transformations will occur within "a few years, not decades," the expert believes. He confirmed a previously stated forecast that AGI will emerge by 2026 or 2027. OpenAI's Plan OpenAI published a document Industrial Policy for the Intelligence Age: Ideas to Keep People First, proposing steps for the era of advanced AI. The company states that the technology is moving from systems with narrow applications to a broader range of tasks, and in the future—to "superintelligence." The benefits could be enormous: increased productivity, cheaper goods, and accelerated science and medicine. However, without new policies, risks of wealth concentration, job losses, abuses, and weakening of democratic control will rise. The document's authors believe that the transition to powerful AI will require new industrial policies, where the state, business, and institutions will expand access to the technology while simultaneously reducing risks. Among the proposals: give workers a voice in how AI is implemented in workplaces; help people turn professional expertise into new companies; ensure broad access to foundational models so that schools, libraries, small businesses, and poor communities are not cut off from opportunities; transform the tax base—rely more on capital levies, corporate income, and introduce forms of taxation related to labor automation; create a public wealth fund that would give every citizen a share in the growth generated by artificial intelligence; accelerate the construction of power grids and other infrastructure for AI; implement a four-day workweek without loss of pay and larger pension contributions; make the social support system more adaptive: monitor the impact of technology on employment, wages, and job quality and include temporary support measures—expanded benefits, cash payments, training vouchers. OpenAI believes that as automation increases, the importance of areas where human contact is especially crucial will grow: education, healthcare, and others. The company suggests developing these as a direction for labor transition for those displaced by AI. Back in December 2025, a Nobel laureate predicted a wave of unemployment due to AI. https://forklog.com/news/ai/mnenie-krizis-rabochih-mest-iz-za-ii-uzhe-nastupil

On April 8th, a group of Bitcoin Core developers will demonstrate "attacking blocks" of the leading cryptocurrency on the Signet testnet. These specially designed blockchain units require significantly more time for validation. Purpose of the Demonstration The primary aim is to highlight the seriousness of four consensus vulnerabilities. The Great Consensus Cleanup, through BIP-54, seeks to address these issues. This Bitcoin improvement proposal suggests a batch soft fork to clean up the consensus of the leading cryptocurrency network. A major update will address several protocol weaknesses: Fixing the "time warp" attack. An old vulnerability allows miners with significant hashrate to manipulate block timestamps, artificially lowering mining difficulty. BIP-54 will resolve this issue with new rules for the timestamps of the first and last blocks of each difficulty adjustment period. Limiting the most computationally intensive transactions. Some specially crafted operations can take a long time to verify — from several minutes to an hour on weak hardware. This increases the load on nodes and provides miners with a tool to pressure competitors. BIP-54 introduces a limit on the number of potentially executable signature operations in a single transaction. If there are too many, the transaction is deemed invalid. Eliminating the issue of 64-byte transactions in the Merkle tree. An operation exactly 64 bytes in size creates ambiguity in the Merkle tree: it can be interpreted as both a leaf and an internal node. This weakens the proof of inclusion and makes the Merkle root ambiguous. After BIP-54 activation, transactions exactly 64 bytes in size will be invalid. Eliminating the need for the outdated BIP-30 check. This is an old protection against duplicate TxIDs. After BIP-34 activation, this check is rarely needed, but historically it has to be maintained in the consensus. BIP-54 requires new Coinbase transactions to be distinct, allowing the old check to be finally removed. The Plan The experts do not intend to showcase the worst-case attack scenario. They will conceal script and transaction details to avoid providing additional information to potential attackers. Users will be shown blocks whose verification requires significantly more resources than usual. The event will commence at 10:00 EST (14:00 UTC). Anyone interested can run a Bitcoin Core node on Signet (which takes about 32-33 GB) and observe the mining and processing of blocks. Developers have also prepared a patch for visualizing suspicious units through the bitcoin-tui terminal interface (supported by developer AJ Towns). It allows real-time tracking of block processing in the Slow Blocks tab. However, the experts emphasized that the patch was made quickly and has not undergone a full audit. For security, participants are advised to use new nodes without funds on the device. Earlier in April, UTXOracle creator Steve Jeffress discovered that about 99% of Taproot transactions on the Bitcoin network turned out to be "dust."

The prediction platform Polymarket is undergoing a major upgrade of its technical infrastructure. The integration of a new order book and its own stablecoin is planned. We've heard your feedback, and we're excited to announce Polymarket is getting a full exchange upgrade.Over the next few weeks, we're rolling out a rebuilt trading engine, upgraded smart contracts, and a new collateral token (Polymarket USD) to move off USDC.e. 🧵— Polymarket (@Polymarket) April 6, 2026 "Over the next few weeks, we will launch an updated trading engine, enhanced smart contracts, and a new collateral token (Polymarket USD) to move away from using USDC.e," the announcement states. The company describes the update as "the most significant infrastructure change since launch." It will provide "faster trade execution, lower fees, and a reliable foundation for further development." To transition to the new engine, all open orders will be canceled during a brief maintenance period. ​​CTF Exchange V2 CTF Exchange V2 is the updated version of the Polymarket CTF Exchange contract. It performs the following functions: optimizes and simplifies the structure of orders and their matching; supports 1271 signature; includes developer codes for tracking the origin of orders on-chain; ensures the collection and distribution of fees. Polymarket USD Polymarket is transitioning from USDC.e to a new token—Polymarket USD. It is backed by USDC at a 1:1 ratio. The company claims most users will not notice the migration. The interface will automatically perform the token swap after a single confirmation request. Experienced users working through the API must exchange USDC or USDC.e for Polymarket USD themselves. New SDK for CLOB Clients The platform will prepare a new set of tools for developers. The transition from version V1 to V2 will occur automatically, but engineers need to use the latest iteration of each client. As reported earlier, Polymarket, in collaboration with the analytics company Palantir Technologies, will develop a system for monitoring sports betting.

The quantum threat to the leading cryptocurrency may be more of a social issue than a technical one, according to Zach Pandl, head of research at Grayscale. Grayscale Research's analysis of the @Google Quantum AI paper suggests breakthroughs may come in sudden leaps, not gradual steps. That means preparation can’t be delayed.The good news:• Post-quantum cryptography already exists• Some chains like $SOL and $XRP Ledger are… pic.twitter.com/r5vtnnWCJj— Grayscale (@Grayscale) April 6, 2026 The community has reignited discussions on this topic following Google's research, released in late March. The company concluded that a quantum computer could crack Bitcoin's cryptography using significantly fewer resources than previously thought. However, Pandl suggested that the real danger to digital gold lies not in the technical solution. According to him, the network is less vulnerable due to the UTXO model, PoW consensus, absence of native smart contracts, and quantum-resistant address types. The challenge is different — the community must decide on the way forward. Three Options for the Bitcoin Community Supporters of the first cryptocurrency have debated the fate of old coins for years — particularly concerned about approximately 1.7 million BTC still held in early P2PK addresses. Of these, about 1 million BTC belong to Satoshi Nakamoto. Bitcoin supply distribution by address type. Source: Grayscale. Pandl believes the community has three options: burn the coins; intentionally slow their release by limiting the spending rate from vulnerable addresses; do nothing. "All options are conceptually feasible, but the problem lies in reaching consensus. The Bitcoin community has a rich history of disputes over protocol changes — recall last year's debates on storing images in blocks," the expert noted. He referred to the conflict that erupted in 2023 over the use of block space for Ordinals — a technology allowing data like texts and images to be inscribed in satoshis. Two years later, the disputes have subsided, but the parties still hold opposing views. Time for Preparation Pandl urged developers to take action. He agreed with Google's researchers that blockchains should transition to post-quantum cryptography now. "Investors need not worry yet. We believe there is no current threat to the security of public blockchains from quantum computers. But it's time to accelerate efforts to prepare for a post-quantum future," added Grayscale's head of research. Developers have already begun transitioning to post-quantum standards: Solana is testing quantum-resistant transactions; the Ethereum Foundation research team proposed four key network updates; BTQ Technologies launched a quantum-protected Bitcoin testnet. In March, Alex Thorn, head of research at Galaxy Digital, called the threat of Bitcoin being hacked by quantum computers exaggerated.
