Key market highlights

1. In a television interview, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent dismissed speculation that other countries are offloading their U.S. Treasury holdings, stating that the recent drop in bond prices is mainly due to market deleveraging. He emphasized there's no evidence that foreign governments are selling off their holdings. Bessent also noted that foreign demand for 10-year and 30-year Treasury bonds actually increased last week. Additionally, he suggested that the U.S. government is capable of increasing Treasury buybacks to stabilize market volatility and sees no immediate need for Federal Reserve intervention. He also revealed that discussions about a potential successor to the Fed Chair are expected to take place in the fall, aiming to provide the market with a sense of policy continuity.

2. According to Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas, several Solana ETFs are set to launch in Canada on April 16, with staking features for SOL expected to be included. The Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) has approved asset managers Purpose, Evolve, CI, and 3iQ to issue these Solana-based ETFs. This move positions Canada as a pioneer in the altcoin ETF space. By contrast, the U.S. has yet to approve any crypto ETFs that offer staking.

3. KiloEx has suffered a $7.5 million hack due to a vulnerability in its oracle system, affecting networks including Base, opBNB, and BNB Chain. The attack occurred just two days after KiloEx announced a strategic partnership with DWF Labs, with plans to expand integration within the BNB Chain ecosystem. The platform has since suspended its services and is working with security partners to trace the stolen funds. A bounty program is also in the works.

4. Following a sharp drop in $OM's price, Mantra CEO John Mullin stated that restoring the token is the team's top priority. A buyback and burn plan is currently being developed in collaboration with partners. Mullin refuted accusations of price manipulation or whale dumping, emphasizing that the largest holders are centralized exchanges, including some of the top platforms. He further explained that the crash was the result of a forced liquidation, after one exchange stopped supporting collateral positions — not due to active selling by the project team or strategic investors.

5. According to official sources, MicroStrategy purchased 3459 BTC between April 7 and April 13 for $285.8 million, at an average price of $82,618. As of April 13, 2025, the company holds a total of 531,644 BTC, with an average purchase price of $67,556 and a total value of approximately $35.92 billion.

Market overview

1. Bitcoin ($BTC) has climbed back above $85,000, while broader market performance remains mixed. Notably, the trending $RFC pulled back after hitting new highs, while $ALCH, $FARTCOIN, and $X have entered the top ten by trading volume.

2. U.S. stocks posted limited gains amid tariff uncertainty. Apple opened strong but closed lower, Nvidia gave up earlier gains, and China concept stocks rallied sharply.

3. Currently standing at 84,571 USDT, Bitcoin is in a potential liquidation zone. A 1000-point drop to around 83,603 USDT could trigger over $355 million in cumulative long-position liquidations. Conversely, a rise to 85,571 USDT could lead to more than $145 million in cumulative short-position liquidations. With long liquidation volumes far surpassing short positions, it's advisable to manage leverage carefully to avoid large-scale liquidations.

Highlights on X

1. @Wolfy_XBT: My emotional rollercoaster holding RFC

The core reason I invested in $RFC was my strong belief in the value of attention behind the "Retard" meme narrative. Elon Musk's frequent interactions with the account further convinced me of its potential to continuously capture eyeballs. After $Retard died, I quickly pivoted to $RFC — the official Twitter-issued successor — and doubled down on my position as the market warmed up. The timing felt right: attention hadn't peaked, the project team had a tight grip on the supply, and everything aligned with the meme investor's golden rule — attention > everything.

2. @thankUcrypto: Pessimists stay happy – from reckless gambler to risk-aware trader

I don't trade to be perfect. I trade to survive. Every trade starts with a mindset of accepting failure — setting stop-losses in advance, never averaging down, never letting emotions take over. I keep most of my capital on the sidelines and use only small amounts for in-market plays. Why? Because I've seen too many traders lose it all. In this game, survival comes first — only then do you earn the right to think about the future. Being pessimistic isn't cowardice — it's a conscious survival strategy.

3. Crypto_Painter: Shorts defy fate—are they betting against a rebound again? BTC market liquidation structure in depth

The BTC market is once again showing classic long-short divergence. Longs are playing it safe, using modest leverage of 5–7x, with key liquidation zones near $67,000. Shorts, meanwhile, are piling in aggressively with 10x+ leverage, clustering around the $88,600 – $90,100 range — creating potential fuel for the next liquidation cascade. If the price continues to rise and pushes toward the $94K–$99K zone, we may see another round of "short squeeze" chaos that could send BTC past $100K. That is — unless Trump stirs up unexpected chaos. If that happens, the current position structure could collapse.

4. @0xCryptoWing: Meme mania never dies: On-chain trends bear market survival strategies

Memecoins remain one of the most resilient on-chain narratives, even during bear markets when liquidity dries up and traders fall silent. Why? Because memes thrive on attention—and in bearish times, attention is more focused. As long as you're bold enough to bet on the leading memecoins with strong conviction, there's still room to profit. Unlike the chaotic FOMO of bull runs, bear market strategies are slower, more methodical. It’s about improving your judgment, constantly reviewing your trades, and letting go of fantasies of returning to the heyday of three months ago. Memecoins won't disappear—what's ending is blind speculation. The real opportunities lie with those who keep evolving through the winter.
