The U.S. administration has cautioned its staff against using non-public information for trading on financial markets amid suspicious transactions linked to geopolitical events, reports Reuters.  Trigger: Trades Before Iran Announcements According to the agency, an internal memo was circulated on March 24 following a series of unusually precise trades in the oil market. These involved bets of approximately $500 million on Brent and WTI futures, placed just minutes before Donald Trump's statement on Iran the previous day. After the announcement of halting strikes by U.S. armed forces, commodity prices fell by about 15%. This synchrony raised suspicions of potential insider information use. As one of the latest examples, Reuters cited a position in oil worth ~$950 million placed hours before the ceasefire announcement between Iran and the U.S. on Tuesday, April 7. “While he [Trump] aims for a strong and profitable stock market for all, members of Congress and other government officials should be prohibited from using insider information for financial gain,” a White House representative wrote in response to the agency's inquiry. Prediction Markets Under Scrutiny The situation also drew attention to crypto prediction platforms like Polymarket, where users wager on the outcomes of political and military events, reports Cointelegraph. Analysts estimate that some traders could have earned around $1 million by accurately predicting the timing of potential U.S. actions. This heightened concerns that participants with access to confidential information might be using such platforms for profit. In response to the incident, three bills were introduced in the U.S. Congress. The proposed provisions include:  banning government officials from participating in prediction market trades; tightening control over insider information use; increasing transparency of operations. Back in April, U.S. tax experts disagreed on how prediction platform users should pay taxes on their winnings.

Tether has introduced the QVAC SDK, a toolkit designed for developing and deploying artificial intelligence directly on user devices. Tether Launches QVAC SDK as the AI Universal Building Block that Runs, Trains, and Evolves Intelligence Across any Device and PlatformLearn more: https://t.co/n7mkjkD8cz— Tether (@tether) April 9, 2026 According to the company, the open-source software kit allows for the creation and further training of AI models on devices ranging from smartphones to servers, independent of cloud infrastructure. Solutions developed with the SDK can operate on iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, and Linux with a single codebase, eliminating the need for adaptation to specific operating environments. Moving Away from Centralized AI The company introduced the QVAC platform for decentralized artificial intelligence in May 2025. Tether noted that the current centralized AI model is not scalable due to latency, infrastructure vulnerabilities, and concentrated control. As an alternative, the company proposed a concept of local deployment, where computations occur on the user's device, and data is not transmitted to external servers. This approach aims to ensure: higher privacy levels; low latency; resilience to failures and internet outages. “Applications based on QVAC continue to function even with low connectivity speeds, making AI more practical in real-world scenarios. If the internet goes down or a server farm fails, nothing changes for the user,” the developers explained. Technical Architecture The SDK is built on QVAC Fabric—a modification of the minimalist llama.cpp engine for running local models. It supports full compatibility with the Llama ecosystem for text generation, embedding, and multimodal workloads. The platform also integrates several standalone mechanisms such as Parakeet (speech recognition) and Bergamot (translation). These are unified by a single API, allowing developers to combine functions without altering application logic. QVAC SDK includes built-in P2P interaction mechanisms based on the Holepunch stack, enabling: distribution of models without centralized servers; use and future training of AI in a distributed network. Tether positions QVAC SDK as a foundational element for a new class of applications—from personal AI assistants to autonomous agents integrated with Web3 services. “The world is approaching a point where billions of people will share the planet with billions of autonomous machines and trillions of AI agents. The current structure, where every decision is made through a centralized server, will not scale to meet this reality,” stated Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino. Back in December 2025, the QVAC team introduced an open dataset for AI training.

The daily number of transfers on the leading altcoin’s blockchain has approached 1.3 million, yet ETH’s price remains range-bound. A CryptoQuant analyst using the pseudonym CryptoOnchain called the divergence a bullish signal: fundamentals are growing faster than the market. Ethereum Network Activity Reaches New ATH: A Bullish Fundamental Divergence“If this strong utility trend persists, the probability of the price eventually catching up with these robust on-chain fundamentals in the mid-term remains highly favorable.” – By @CryptoOnchain pic.twitter.com/doE1Lrg0RL— CryptoQuant.com (@cryptoquant_com) April 10, 2026 The all-time high for the metric was set in February. Now, Ethereum’s transaction count has almost returned to that level, pointing to several notable on-chain signals: a record in transfers signals user growth and ecosystem development driven by DeFi, L2 solutions and applications. It suggests ETH is being used rather than left idle in wallets; the lag of price behind the metric implies the second-largest cryptocurrency is undervalued and lays the groundwork for an uptrend; rising transfer counts increase gas consumption. The fee-burn mechanism removes more ETH from circulation, supporting steady demand. “If the trend persists, the price will likely, over time, catch up with the strong metrics,” summarised CryptoOnchain. At the time of writing, Ethereum trades around $2,200. The asset is up 1.6% over the past day and 7.8% over the week. Hourly ETH/USDT chart on Binance. Source: TradingView.  High on-chain activity was one factor that helped the asset outpace bitcoin, noted analysts at XWIN Research Japan. In March, Ethereum rose 7.12%, versus 1.83% for the digital gold. Why Ethereum Outperformed Bitcoin“ETH currently benefits from simultaneous capital inflow, supply tightening, and ecosystem growth. This positions Ethereum as a structurally stronger asset in the current phase.” – By @xwinfinance pic.twitter.com/khcggqJZk6— CryptoQuant.com (@cryptoquant_com) April 10, 2026 The altcoin also posted higher volatility (62.8% versus 48.9% for bitcoin), confirming its high-beta status. Despite strong correlation (around 0.94), Ethereum reacts more aggressively to changes in liquidity and risk appetite. Against this backdrop, investors more often choose the second-largest cryptocurrency, viewing it as “bitcoin with leverage”, the experts said. “The decline in trading volumes points to the influence of liquidity, but ETH is supported by capital inflows, supply tightening and ecosystem growth. That makes Ethereum structurally stronger — once liquidity improves, it may continue to outperform,” they concluded. Ethereum undervaluation Undervaluation is also indicated by the Capriole Macro Index Oscillator, which has fallen to -2.42. Historically, this zone is associated with capitulation and trend reversals. Source: Capriole Investments.  The indicator tracks investment behaviour, cycle positioning and on-chain data. Deeply negative readings often signal seller exhaustion. In June–July 2022, Ethereum bottomed around $1,000–1,200 as the indicator fell to -2.2. In October–November 2023, a -1 reading coincided with a breakout after a drop to $1,500. In April 2025, another negative reading marked a local low near $1,500, followed by a rally above $4,000. The current picture resembles previous capitulation phases. The altcoin has fallen from highs near $4,800 to $2,100, with the oscillator close to cyclical lows. A reversal signal would be a return of price to the $2,400–2,500 range and the macro indicator moving back toward zero. Earlier, an analyst known as crypto sunmoon also noted that the taker buy-sell ratio for Ethereum has been rising for four to five months. Combined with the current drawdown, the structure mirrors the set-up preceding the April–May 2025 rally. Another positive signal An analyst going by Darkfost also flagged the taker buy-sell ratio. According to him, the metric points to a potential recovery in the second-largest cryptocurrency. ✅Ethereum derivatives show early signs of recovery.Despite a persistently uncertain macro environment, several signals point to a gradual improvement in Ethereum, particularly on the derivatives side.💥 It has been nearly three years since such a setup was last observed in… pic.twitter.com/r9lyLiTL1W— Darkfost (@Darkfost_Coc) April 9, 2026 On Binance, the metric has turned positive for the first time in three years. It has stayed above 1 for several days — at 1.016. According to the expert, the dynamics reflect a gradual return of buyer dominance in the perpetuals segment. This points to the early stage of a more constructive trend. “The signal matters given that Binance accounts for more than 37% of total open interest in ETH. The venue is key for assessing positioning in the derivatives market,” stressed Darkfost. Earlier, CryptoQuant analysts linked April’s rally in bitcoin and Ethereum to the opening of new long positions in the perpetual futures market.
