Bitdeer operates approximately 262,000 mining rigs, of which 225,000 are owned by the company.  The company's global energy capacity, including projects under development, has reached 3 GW. Market Position The total hashrate managed by Bitdeer has risen to 78.1 EH/s, encompassing both its own equipment and hosted machines. The nearest competitor, MARA, has a capacity of 66.4 EH/s, while CleanSpark stands at 47.3 EH/s.  The company is ramping up production of ASIC miners: the flagship SEALMINER A4 series with an energy efficiency of ~9.45 J/TH has already hit the market. In March, Bitdeer also introduced the SEALMINER DL1 Air for mining Litecoin and Dogecoin using the Scrypt algorithm. Simultaneously, the firm is scaling its AI division. The load level of the AI Cloud service increased from 64% to 94%, with annual revenue reaching approximately $43 million, a 105% rise over the month. “This dynamic demonstrates both the scale of market opportunities and our ability to effectively provide high-performance infrastructure for artificial intelligence,” commented Bitdeer's Chief Operating Officer Matt Kong. Other Players Meanwhile, miner CleanSpark reported mining 658 BTC in March. Since the beginning of the year, the company has accumulated 1,799 BTC.  The operational hashrate at the end of last month reached 50 EH/s. Its fleet of 224,473 rigs achieved peak efficiency of 16.07 J/TH, and the average monthly capacity increased by 11%.  The firm controls over 1.8 GW of capacity, with 808 MW already operational. CleanSpark is actively expanding beyond bitcoin mining. The company's CEO, Matt Schultz, noted that they have “made significant progress in attracting their first hyperscale client in AI and high-performance computing.”  Canaan mined 89 BTC in March. The miner's crypto reserves reached a record 1,808 BTC and 3,952 ETH.  The company's deployed hashrate stands at 10.97 EH/s. An additional 4.4 EH/s is generated by a joint venture acquired from Cipher Mining — in February, Canaan purchased 49% of its partner in three Texas facilities. Sales Major miners continue to sell bitcoin amid challenging industry conditions. According to CryptoQuant, since the start of the current cycle, their combined balances have fallen from 1.862 million to 1.801 million BTC. Net sales amounted to approximately 61,000 BTC.

Riot Platforms and Core Scientific sold 4,026 BTC and 1,992 BTC respectively.  Meanwhile, experts have noted an increase in the balances of the AntPool mining pool.  Earlier in the first quarter of 2026, bitcoin's hashrate declined by nearly 6%. Experts attributed the drop to the shutdown of outdated equipment.

forklog.media Drift Secures $127 Million from Tether for Hack Victim Compensation

The Solana-based protocol Drift has raised $148 million from Tether and other partners to recover from a $295 million hack. Today, Drift is announcing a collaboration with @tether and other partners totaling up to nearly $150 million to support our commitment to a relaunch with USDT at the center, and a path to user recovery.These funds encompass a $100M revenue-linked credit facility, an ecosystem…— Drift (@DriftProtocol) April 16, 2026 The support package includes a $100 million revenue-linked credit line, an ecosystem grant, and loans to market makers. Initially, a significant portion of the platform's revenue and the raised funds will be directed to a special pool for compensating users. As revenues grow, Drift hopes to fully cover the losses.  To facilitate payments, developers will issue a special token for each affected user. This asset will certify the right to claim from the compensation pool. Details of the mechanism will be provided later, the project team noted.  Following the news, the price of DRIFT surged by more than 21% to $0.05. Source: CoinGecko.  Relaunch  The developers will completely relaunch the protocol. Each component will undergo independent audits conducted by Ottersec and Asymmetric.  Drift will implement a multisignature system managed by the community. Signatories will operate on isolated devices, and transactions will be independently verified before signing.  For critical administrative actions, time locks and real-time alerts will be introduced. Long-term one-time numbers will be disabled. As part of the relaunch, Drift will also switch its base settlement layer from USDC to USDT. Previously, the community criticized the company behind the stablecoin, Circle, for not freezing the stolen funds. The attackers withdrew over $60 million in USDC.  Earlier in April, the project team disclosed details of the hack. The attack was orchestrated by hackers from North Korea.

forklog.media Only One in 150 Crypto Projects Discloses Market Maker Agreements

Out of 150 major protocols, only one has publicly disclosed its terms of cooperation with market makers. This conclusion was reached by experts at Novora. New from Novora Research: IR & Token Transparency in 2026 https://t.co/qLW2R8yYvF— Novora (@novora_) April 14, 2026 The study covered leading types of projects: decentralized exchanges, lending platforms, perp-DEX, L1 and L2 networks, cross-chain bridges, and CEX tokens. They varied in FDV from $40 million to $45 billion. Experts assessed the protocols using a binary transparency system, considering information disclosure practices and coverage by third-party data. The verification was conducted using open sources. It was found that less than 1% of projects publicly disclose the terms of their work with liquidity providers. The only exception was the decentralized platform Meteora, whose developers detailed their partnership in the 2025 annual report for token holders. Most crypto projects disclose revenue information (green lines). Source: Novora. “The most significant gap in transparency in our industry,” is how Novora founder Connor King described the situation. According to him, such agreements are regularly disclosed in traditional markets, while “in the crypto sector, every participant operates without this information.” Opaque terms of cooperation with market makers remain a longstanding issue in the crypto industry. Some agreements are poorly conceived and carry hidden risks. For instance, under a common credit option model, projects lend tokens to market makers. They use them to maintain trading activity and volumes—often within listing agreements. Critics argue that in practice, this structure merely encourages the sale of borrowed coins. The price drops, benefiting the intermediary. However, as a result, startups immediately face reduced liquidity and deteriorating market performance. Reporting Gap for Investors The study revealed a systemic shortcoming: projects hardly establish communication with investors. According to Novora, 91% of protocols generate trackable revenue, but only 18% of teams release quarterly reports, and only 8% provide materials for token holders. Source: Novora. Meanwhile, third-party analytical infrastructure has already reached maturity: coverage on major platforms exceeds 85%. Basic data is widely available but rarely converted into formal reporting, specialists noted. The breakdown by project type showed uneven transparency. For example, perpetual futures protocols and decentralized exchanges lead in information disclosure and value extraction mechanisms. Meanwhile, L1 projects and infrastructure platforms lag behind, despite higher capitalization. Among networks, Ethereum leads in transparency. Source: Novora. Back in early 2025, market maker CLS Global admitted to fictitious trading of the AI token NexFundAI, created by the FBI to detect fraud.
