Two key metrics point to a potential trend reversal in the leading cryptocurrency, noted CryptoQuant analyst Ignacio Moreno de Vicente. Bitcoin’s Stress Cycle Is Ending — But Not Yet Reversing“Risk remains present… But for investors with a cycle-aware framework, the data suggests we are closer to the beginning of an opportunity than the end of one.” – By @MorenoDV_ pic.twitter.com/3Ajya7zPJp— CryptoQuant.com (@cryptoquant_com) April 9, 2026 Sharpe ratio fell deep into negative territory, reaching -40. Historically, that threshold has coincided with the formation of long-term lows. In 2015, 2019, 2020 and 2023, breaks below that level were each followed by subsequent price gains. An indicator of buy and sell pressure adds important context, the expert noted. Durable cycle lows have typically formed in several stages rather than all at once. First comes a flush into the zone of maximum selling pressure (orange/red spikes below -0.05 on the second chart above). At this stage, forced sellers and panic-driven participants capitulate. Then, as market supply contracts, conditions gradually normalise. When the indicator returned to the blue “buying pressure” band (a signal of genuine demand resumption rather than mere stabilisation), the risk-reward became most attractive. “Right now the chart shows that the orange washout (capitulation) has already occurred. We are moving into the next phase. The delta is slowly returning but has not yet reached the blue levels. It is precisely this gap — between confirmed capitulation and the revival of demand — that has historically been the point for the most asymmetric capital deployment,” explained Moreno de Vicente. He cautioned, however, that macro risks, liquidity and fragile investor sentiment could prolong the process. Conditions for a trend shift According to Glassnode analysts, bitcoin is currently in a typical bear-phase regime. Bouncing in a Bear#Bitcoin bounced from $67k to $72k, but weak spot demand and softer futures activity suggest the recovery still lacks strong conviction, even as ETF flows begin to turn modestly positive.Read the full Week On-Chain👇https://t.co/ADIT9yu3C4 pic.twitter.com/S1T79HQ59z— glassnode (@glassnode) April 8, 2026 A relief rally amid a temporary truce between the US and Iran could lift the cryptocurrency’s price to $78,000 — the true market mean. However, there is still no meaningful shift in momentum. Two conditions are needed for a durable recovery: stabilisation of the short-term holders’ cost basis (it is still falling); a sharp reduction in losses for those who bought near the cycle peaks. The seven-day moving average of realised losses for long-term investors tracks this dynamic. Since November 2025, the metric has exceeded 4,000 BTC per day — a signal of capitulation among buyers who entered at the highs. The most reliable signal of a phase shift would be a sustained decline in this gauge to below 1,000 BTC per day, alongside a price recovery above the short-term holders’ cost basis ($81,600). At the time of writing, bitcoin trades around $71,400. The price is down 0.3% on the day but up 7.5% on the week. Hourly chart of BTC/USDT on Binance. Source: TradingView. Saylor is confident the cycle bottom is in At the same time, Strategy founder Michael Saylor believes bitcoin has already bottomed near $60,000, writes The Block. He pointed to a familiar pattern: downtrends end not amid improving sentiment, but when forced selling is exhausted. The latest decline, he said, was driven mainly by overleveraged miners and weaker participants who liquidated positions. As their supply dries up, the market’s balance of power shifts. Saylor listed factors that limit further downside: more stable demand for ETFs; improving liquidity expectations; a rise in corporate allocations to treasury assets. By his reckoning, conditions look asymmetric: as weak-hand supply is exhausted, demand for bitcoin continues to grow. Saylor also commented on the potential threat from quantum computers. He said these risks are distant in time and manageable. Any real threat would form gradually, giving the network enough time to adapt. Bitcoin’s open architecture will allow developers to implement quantum-resistant upgrades well before such attacks become practical, the expert stressed. On April 8, Lightning Labs CTO Olaoluwa Osuntokun unveiled a prototype tool to protect wallets from potential quantum attacks.

AI startup Anthropic has introduced an environment for executing complex and prolonged agent tasks—Claude Managed Agents. New on the Engineering Blog: Building Managed Agents—our hosted service for long-running agents—meant solving an old problem in computing: how to design a system for “programs as yet unthought of.”Read more: https://t.co/YYaEub2QGV— Anthropic (@AnthropicAI) April 8, 2026 The solution is a hosting service on the Claude platform, enabling the management of long-term agents through a set of basic interfaces. The system can sequentially execute tasks, use tools, run code, edit files, interact with external services, and continue functioning even after failures. The Problem Previously, developers faced challenges when deploying AI agents: digital assistants would forget context, necessitating a reset; the model would prematurely end a task, requiring special "workarounds"; the neural network struggled with lengthy assignments. For instance, Claude Sonnet 4.5 could prematurely conclude a task as the context window limit approached. The Solution The cloud-based tool Claude Managed Agents handles all background processes, including memory management and error recovery. The main architectural concept of the new solution is the division of the agent into independent components. Previously, everything operated in one place: the model itself and the logic of its invocation; code execution; memory and session states; accesses and tokens. Anthropic divided the system into three main blocks: Session—a log of all actions and events. It acts as the agent's long-term memory, recording the history of steps and bypassing context length limitations. Control logic—this "conductor" calls Claude, decides which context to provide the model, and manages the work cycle. Execution environment—a place where LLM can run code, edit files, and interact with the environment. This structure allows each part to function autonomously—a local failure in one of the processes no longer leads to the closure of the entire session. Anthropic positions Claude Managed Agents as a resilient infrastructure layer that will outlast the evolution of models. It is akin to an operating system for AI agents. Previously, the company developed a new LLM Claude Mythos, but declined to release it publicly due to high security risks.

Olaoluwa Osuntokun, the Chief Technical Officer of Lightning Labs, has unveiled a prototype tool designed to protect Bitcoin wallets from potential quantum attacks. in the face of quantum adversary, a commonly discussed emergency soft fork for Bitcoin would be to disable the Taproot keyspend path (https://t.co/Gzx8NVui3N), effectively turning it into something that resembling BIP-360assuming an existing precautionary soft-fork to add a pq…— Olaoluwa Osuntokun (@roasbeef) April 8, 2026 The Problem Bitcoin employs encryption algorithms that are theoretically vulnerable to powerful quantum computers. If breached, public data on the blockchain could allow the computation of private keys, leading to the theft of digital gold holdings. To counter this threat, developers have proposed a protection plan. Initially, a voluntary migration: BIP-360 introduces a quantum-resistant type of wallet. Users can transfer coins to new addresses in advance.  However, migration takes time, and not all holders of digital gold will adapt in time. Moreover, the network contains old wallets with permanently lost access. As a last resort, an emergency brake mechanism is provided: the blockchain will disable the current signature system to block the possibility of asset theft. The main issue is that most modern addresses, including the Taproot format, rely solely on this signature system. If blocked, legitimate owners will lose the ability to confirm ownership of their funds.  The Solution  Osuntokun's solution offers an alternative for those who have not migrated but are not caught in the "emergency brake" trap. His system, based on zk-STARK, replaces the digital signature: the owner confirms wallet creation through a secret seed phrase without revealing it. This ensures that rescuing one address does not compromise others generated from the same phrase. The prototype is already operational. On a powerful MacBook, proof generation took about 55 seconds, while verification took less than two seconds. The proof file is approximately 1.7 MB (similar to a high-resolution photo).  Osuntokun noted that the system was developed as a side project and is not yet optimized. There is no formal proposal for integrating the tool into the Bitcoin network, nor any timeline.  Bernstein's Forecast  The team of analysts at Bernstein, led by Gautam Chhugani, described quantum computing as a "manageable upgrade cycle" rather than an "existential risk" to the first cryptocurrency. Recent research by Google indicated that significantly fewer resources might be needed to break Bitcoin's cryptography than previously thought. However, creating a super-powerful computer remains years away due to technical challenges and high costs. According to Bernstein, the crypto industry has three to five years to prepare. This time should suffice to transition to quantum-resistant standards. Experts estimate that cryptographically significant quantum computers may only emerge in 10 years. Source: Bernstein.  Adam Back, CEO of Blockstream, expressed a similar view in an interview with Bloomberg. He explained that Google's paper only addressed algorithm improvements, not hardware progress.  The expert stated that current quantum systems remain "extremely primitive" due to error correction limitations. He noted that even the most advanced demonstrations are trivial compared to what is needed to break Bitcoin's cryptography.  "The most complex calculation it performed was factoring the number 21 into seven multiplied by three. Something children in elementary school can do," Back remarked.  In April, Zach Pandl, head of research at Grayscale, described Bitcoin's quantum problem as more social than technical.

Meta Corporation has introduced the AI model Muse Spark, developed by the new team of researchers at Meta Superintelligence Labs (MSL). Today we’re introducing Muse Spark, our most powerful model yet, giving you a faster and smarter Meta AI.Muse Spark currently powers the Meta AI app and website and will be rolling out to @whatsapp, @Instagram, @facebook, @messenger, and AI glasses in the coming weeks.…— Meta Newsroom (@MetaNewsroom) April 8, 2026 This is the first LLM since the company's CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, embarked on a multi-billion-dollar reorganization of the AI division to reduce the gap with competitors. The new department is led by Alexander Wang. The head of the corporation invited him as part of investment agreements with Scale AI worth $14 billion. Since then, the corporation has directed substantial funds towards attracting specialized professionals and developing infrastructure. Since then, the entrepreneur has spent billions of dollars attracting talent in the field of artificial intelligence and allocated tens of billions on infrastructure. Lagging Behind Competitors Muse Spark will form the basis of the Meta AI chatbot. The model is closed, unlike the company's previous products based on open-source code. The LLM lags behind ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini in some areas, but the project is in its early stages. The corporation emphasized that the model represents only the "first stage of the journey," with more powerful solutions under development. Meta focuses Muse Spark on efficiency and "competitive characteristics" in performing various tasks. The neural network was created over nine months and is viewed by management as a component of the updated AI strategy. Previously, the firm focused on open-source Llama models. Muse Spark was trained using several third-party open-source tools like Qwen from the Chinese tech giant Alibaba, as well as solutions from OpenAI and Google. “Like other industry players, Meta uses distillation with strict safety measures,” a company representative stated. Modes of Thought Muse Spark offers several levels of operation: Instant, Thinking, and Contemplating. The latter provides responses at a scientific level. Its integration into the Meta AI app and web version will occur gradually. Contemplating uses a group of agents for "parallel thinking." Users can switch between modes depending on the specifics of the request. Additionally, Meta is testing new monetization methods, offering third-party developers access to the core Muse Spark technology via API. The company announced that a special "Shopping" mode will be added to the updated version of Meta AI, assisting users in selecting and purchasing clothing. In February, Meta introduced the AI feature Dear Algo, allowing Threads users to personalize content recommendation algorithms.

"Stablecoins" are gradually evolving from a niche tool into the backbone of global payments. Analysts at Chainalysis suggest that within the next decade, the volume of stablecoin transactions could reach $1.5 quadrillion. The great wealth transfer is here, and it’s bringing crypto with it. Between 2028 and 2048, an estimated $100 trillion will likely move to younger, crypto-native generations. Our latest blog explores how stablecoin payment volumes are on pace to match Visa and Mastercard by the…— Chainalysis (@chainalysis) April 8, 2026 Even the basic scenario anticipates an adjusted growth to $719 trillion. However, the influx of merchants and demographic shifts could significantly accelerate this trend. Projected stablecoin transaction volume (up to 2035). Source: Chainalysis. Two Main Catalysts In 2025, stablecoins facilitated around $28 trillion in "real economic activity" — experts deliberately excluded exchange trading volume, focusing only on direct payments and transfers. Analysts expect this metric to grow significantly by 2035, driven by two structural factors: Generational Shift. Between 2028 and 2048, millennials and Gen Z are set to inherit up to $100 trillion. These demographic groups are much more rational in terms of storing and using digital assets. Widespread Distribution. The integration of stablecoins into merchant payment solutions will make their use almost invisible to consumers. Paying with cryptocurrency will cease to be a complex process and become a routine operation. An additional driver in this direction could be commerce based on the AI agent ecosystem. Together, these trends will allow "stablecoins" to match the transaction volumes of Visa and Mastercard between 2031 and 2039. With accelerated technology adoption, parity could be achieved even sooner. Millennials and Gen Z as drivers of stablecoin mass adoption. Source: Chainalysis. Integration and Regulatory Stance Changes are already noticeable: major financial players have begun adapting their strategies to stablecoins. Stripe's acquisition of Bridge and Mastercard's purchase of BVNK indicate that "stablecoins" are becoming part of the core financial infrastructure. Standard Chartered has also reported a leading growth in stablecoin usage due to new application scenarios. According to the bank's estimates, the sector could generate demand for up to $1 trillion in US Treasury bonds, directly linking the payments industry with global capital flows. Meanwhile, regulators continue to examine potential risks. A recent White House study found no substantial evidence of stablecoins negatively impacting bank lending. The document effectively dispelled concerns about a possible deposit outflow amid the development of a regulatory framework. Many experts view the current trend not as a threat to the traditional financial system, but as a convergence. As noted by Patrick Witt, a cryptocurrency advisor to US President Donald Trump, "stablecoins" could channel additional funds into the US banking sector rather than withdraw them. The ultimate impact on the market will depend on the issuance structure and the quality of issuers' reserves.As reported, the prediction platform Polymarket announced a major infrastructure update and the launch of its own stablecoin.

The largest cryptocurrency ATM operator, Bitcoin Depot, has disclosed a theft of $3.7 million from its corporate wallets. This was revealed in a document filed with the SEC on April 8. On March 23, an intruder gained unauthorized access to the company's IT systems and took control of its cryptocurrency accounts. The perpetrator subsequently withdrew 50.9 BTC (approximately $3.66 million). “Upon discovering the breach, the firm promptly initiated response protocols, engaged external cybersecurity experts, and notified law enforcement,” the statement said. Bitcoin Depot assured that the attack did not affect clients or their personal information. The investigation, involving external specialists, is ongoing. Insurance may cover part of the loss, but “there is no guarantee that it will be sufficient to cover all losses,” company representatives emphasized. Regulatory Challenges The breach occurred amid increased regulatory pressure and operational difficulties. In March, Connecticut authorities suspended Bitcoin Depot's money transmission license. The regulatory body found that the operator exceeded the state's 15% fee cap on 1,015 transactions, resulting in 510 customers overpaying approximately $150,426. Bitcoin ATM shutdowns are also ongoing in the U.S. Mass closures began in March 2025 after Illinois State Senator Dick Durbin proposed a bill to combat ATM fraud. Since the start of 2026, 666 such devices have ceased operations in the country. Source: Coin ATM Radar. Financial Performance Bitcoin Depot reported a net profit of $4.7 million for 2025, compared to $7.8 million in the previous reporting period. The company expects a 30-40% decline in revenue from its core business this year due to regulatory requirements in certain states and stricter compliance standards. “While our anti-fraud measures have effectively reduced consumer fraud cases and protected clients, we expect these efforts to result in significantly lower revenue than in previous years,” the firm noted. On April 8, Bitcoin Depot's shares rose by 15.6%, closing at $2.74. However, over the past six months, the stock has fallen by 88%. Source: Yahoo Finance. Back in November 2025, the bitcoin ATM operator Crypto Dispensers announced the sale of its business for $100 million. The decision was prompted by the criminal prosecution of the company's CEO.
