From July, crypto exchanges operating in Australia will prompt for additional information on all outgoing and incoming transfers. Crypto exchange users in Australia will soon face stricter rules on all transfers as the country’s travel rule is set to come into force on Wednesday, aligning it with similar rules in the EU, US and UK. From July, all crypto sent and received on locally-regulated crypto exchanges will require users to provide additional information, such as the name of the person the crypto is being sent to or received from, and the name of the platform. Gabby Lewis, the head of fraud and financial crime at Swyftx, told Cointelegraph that for most exchange users, “the impact should be very limited. They’ll provide the required details once, and then these will be saved for future use.” Read more
Bitcoin rallied alongside stocks and investors’ hope for interest rate cuts, but is the rejection at $76,000 a sign of a bull trap? Key takeaways: The US Federal Reserve's shift toward balance sheet expansion may provide the liquidity needed to boost Bitcoin and broader risk markets. The war in Iran and high oil prices might be driving investors toward scarce assets to hedge against rising inflation. Read more
Bitcoin’s attempts to hold rallies above the $70,000 to $75,000 range continue as ETF demand limps along, US treasury yields rise and traders take profit as BTC price hits overhead resistance. Establishing a strong Bitcoin (BTC) uptrend in 2026 remains a challenge, as exchange-traded fund (ETF) flows have shown limited growth since peaking above $60 billion in 2025. At the same time, inflows to the gold ETF also dropped by nearly 25% in Q1 and the lack of a capital rotation into BTC signals muted institutional demand. A recent report from Ecoinometrics shows a clear shift in the demand and persistence of Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) flows. Before the October 2025 price peak for BTC, ETF inflows often came in extended streaks, including a 15-day run of $4.4 billion in June 2025, which helped sustain upside momentum. Read more
Not all Bitcoin faces the same level of risk from quantum computing. Dormant wallets with exposed public keys could be the first targets. The common narrative surrounding the impact of quantum computing on Bitcoin focuses on a doomsday scenario in which the entire network collapses at once. However, this perspective overlooks a critical distinction in how the risk is actually distributed. Bitcoin's quantum vulnerability is not a blanket threat. It is concentrated in dormant addresses with exposed public keys. This includes many of the oldest coins from the “Satoshi era” and lost wallets. While modern Bitcoin (BTC) addresses use stronger security layers, these legacy holdings could become the primary targets of the first generation of powerful quantum machines. These wallets offer attackers time, scale and minimal resistance. That combination makes them the most likely starting point for any future quantum-driven disruption. Read more
Technical analysis, overhead supply awaiting absorption, and a shift in investor sentiment have increased the likelihood of Bitcoin reaching $80,000 in April. Bitcoin (BTC) extended its bullish run into the Wall Street open on Friday, rallying above $73,000. Traders now eye a move back toward $80,000 by the end of April, as several indicators point to bulls retaking control of the crypto market. On Tuesday, Bitcoin invalidated what initially appeared to be a bear pennant on the daily chart. Related: Old Bitcoin whales sold $271M in BTC: Is crypto rally at stake? Read more
Bitcoin ETF inflows hit $471 million, but stress on digital asset treasuries, selling from miners, and the war in Iran are keeping BTC stuck below $70,000. Key takeaways: BTC failed to hold $70,000 despite strong ETF inflows as selling by public miners offset recent institutional buying. Options markets reflect high demand for downside protection as a 17% put premium signals cautious sentiment. Read more
