Charles Hoskinson made a post that says a lot. The man behind Cardano declares that his work is autonomous. No need for him anymore, it seems. However, he does not leave the stage quietly. He talks about a risky journey, a possible death. And above all, he insists: Cardano is decentralized. It's up to you to judge whether he is taking his bow or launching a new magic trick.
On April 13, Bitcoin surpassed $86,000 before plunging below $84,000, without any macroeconomic alerts or exogenous factors. This abrupt reversal can be explained by an unprecedented imbalance in liquidations: $52 million in long positions against only $15 million in short positions, representing a gap of 346%. This anomaly reveals a structural tension related to leverage, where excessive speculative optimism makes markets particularly sensitive to internal corrections.

As the crypto markets catch their breath after a period of high volatility, all eyes are on three giants: Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Ripple.

XRP finds itself at a strategic turning point, facing technical resistance that could redefine its market trajectory. Since the settlement of the dispute between Ripple and the SEC, the asset has gained renewed confidence, but investors remain cautious.

Thus, it is now a time for confirmation for supporters of the bullish scenario.
The increasing trade tensions between the United States and China have significantly impacted American spot Bitcoin ETFs. These financial products recorded a net outflow of $713 million last week, marking their seventh consecutive day of withdrawals.
As markets shake and capital flees risk assets, Michael Saylor stands firm. The founder of Strategy, indifferent to macroeconomic upheavals, has just added more than 22,000 bitcoins to his treasury. Indeed, the timing raises questions: BTC's correction is intensifying, and geopolitical uncertainty is settling in. However, Saylor does not waver. For him, bitcoin is not a gamble; it is a conviction. A sharp position, contrary to the consensus, which reignites the debate on the resilience of the maximalist strategy.
April's volatility in the U.S. financial markets is worrying global investors. Since the surprise announcement of new tariffs by Donald Trump on April 2, the S&P 500 has lost 5.4%.

This rise is supported by the momentum of tokenization, the growing commitment of institutions, and an improving regulatory climate. The hierarchy of cryptocurrencies may be on the verge of tipping.
Solana crypto is regaining momentum. After a 47% drop since early March, SOL has just rebounded strongly, surpassing the critical threshold of 125 dollars.

As pressure mounts, XRP finds itself at the heart of an ideological clash that could redefine the criteria for acceptability in the crypto universe.
