Криптовалюты являются высокорискованными активами и по своей сути представляют собой «форму валютизации», заявила глава Банка России Эльвира Набиуллина.

On Monday, TRON announced a significant expansion of its AI Fund, increasing its allocation from $100 million to $1 billion, signaling a major strategic shift toward the emerging agentic economy. This move reflects a growing conviction that the convergence of artificial intelligence and blockchain technology will require a new generation of financial infrastructure built specifically for autonomous systems.

The expanded fund will focus on investments and acquisitions of early-stage companies developing core components of this ecosystem. TRON is prioritizing areas considered foundational to machine-driven economic activity, including agent identity systems, stablecoin-based payment rails, tokenized real-world assets, and developer tooling for autonomous financial systems.

The underlying thesis is clear: as AI agents become increasingly capable of participating in economic processes, they will require programmable, permissionless infrastructure to transact, manage assets, and verify identity without reliance on traditional intermediaries. Blockchain networks, particularly those with established liquidity and scalability, are positioned to support this transition.

By scaling its capital commitment tenfold, TRON is not only reinforcing its early positioning in this narrative but also aiming to play a central role in shaping the infrastructure layer of a rapidly evolving digital economy.

TRON Doubles Down on AI–Blockchain Convergence Thesis

The announcement further emphasizes that this expansion builds on a thesis first outlined in 2023: the convergence of AI and blockchain will create structural demand for programmable, permissionless financial infrastructure. What began as an early conviction has now evolved into a strategic commitment, with TRON positioning itself for a future where AI agents actively participate in the global economy.

This vision is anchored in three core theses. First, stablecoins are the most viable form of money for agent-to-agent commerce. While AI systems cannot access traditional banking rails, they can operate digital wallets, making stablecoins the default settlement layer. Second, stablecoins also serve as the primary payment infrastructure for individuals and small teams, particularly as AI enables lean, high-efficiency operations without reliance on intermediaries.

Third, tokenized equity is positioned as the ownership layer of the agentic economy. As AI agents manage and transact value, they require programmable, divisible, and continuously transferable ownership structures—capabilities inherent to tokenized assets.

TRON’s positioning is reinforced by scale. With over 370 million user accounts, more than $21 billion in daily transaction volume, and over $85 billion in circulating USDT, the network already operates one of the largest stablecoin liquidity layers. This existing infrastructure provides a foundation for agent-driven financial systems to scale efficiently.

TRON Tests Key Resistance as Price Recovers Within Range

TRX is currently trading around the $0.30–$0.31 range, showing signs of recovery after a prolonged corrective phase that followed its late-2025 highs near $0.36. The chart reflects a transition from a clear downtrend into a more range-bound structure, with price gradually stabilizing after forming a base near the $0.27–$0.28 zone.

From a technical perspective, TRX is now testing a critical area. Price has moved back above the short-term moving averages (50-day and 100-day), which are beginning to flatten, indicating a potential shift in short-term momentum. However, the 200-day moving average remains overhead, acting as dynamic resistance and capping further upside.

The recent upward move appears constructive but not yet decisive. Price has approached the $0.31 region multiple times, suggesting that this level is functioning as immediate resistance, while the $0.28–$0.29 zone now acts as short-term support.

Volume trends show moderate participation during the recovery phase, lacking the strong expansion typically associated with breakout conditions. This suggests that the current move may still be in the early stages of accumulation rather than a confirmed trend reversal.

A sustained break above $0.31–$0.32 would be required to confirm bullish continuation, while failure to hold above $0.29 could reintroduce downside pressure.

Курс биткоина в ближайшее время может протестировать уровень $74 000 — или опуститься ниже $65 000, заявили аналитики трейдинговой компании Wintermute.

Crypto analyst Merlijn has revealed that the Bitcoin price is following a 100-year pattern, which could determine its next move. The analyst also highlighted key levels, which would determine whether the leading crypto breaks out or breaks down. 

Bitcoin Price Is Following a 100-Year-Old Pattern

In an X post, Merlijn noted that the Bitcoin price is following this structure that Jesse Livermore mapped in the 1920s, with the leading crypto following every step perfectly. The analyst said that a BTC hold above $70,000 would confirm the next leg, while a drop below $60,000 would mean accumulation would extend. 

The analyst’s accompanying chart showed that the Bitcoin price could rally to as high as $170,000 based on this Livermore Accumulation pattern. This rally to a new all-time high (ATH) of $170,000 is expected to happen by the end of the year or at the start of 2027. That price level is expected to mark a top for the leading crypto, which could then drop to $90,000. 

In another X post, Merlijn indicated that the Bitcoin price is likely to see another leg down. This came as he noted a BTC descending channel with one move left. The analyst said that higher lows within the channel have been made, while rejections at resistance have occurred, so a final flush to $45,000 looks likely. 

Once the Bitcoin price sees that final flush to $45,000, Merlijn predicts the leading crypto could then break out to $140,000. Meanwhile, the final flush to $45,000 could be invalidated if BTC holds $65,000 and the descending channel breaks. However, the max pain target activates if BTC were to lose that price level.

BTC Entering Final Discount Zone

Crypto analyst Ali Martinez said that the Bitcoin price is approaching the final discount window before the next bull market if history repeats itself. He further remarked that if the fractal holds, then there could be a golden entry window between October 6 and October 16. Meanwhile, the buy zone would be between $41,500 and $45,000. 

Martinez added that this could be the launchpad to start a new 4-year cycle for the Bitcoin price. “The countdown to the next Bitcoin vertical move has begun,” he said. The analyst had recently noted that the BTC price was stuck in a no-trade zone and that it is a waiting game right now. He warned that there won’t be a big move until the leading crypto either breaks above $70,685 or falls below $65,636, a level that Merlijn highlighted. 

At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price is trading at around $70,600, up over 3% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Bitcoin (BTC) is currently trading above $70,000 again, after a slight recovery from its ongoing downtrend that pushed its price to $68,000 last week. Despite the brief bounce, market analysts suggest that Bitcoin’s bear trend is not over and remains broadly unchanged. The analyst believes that the world’s largest cryptocurrency could still go much lower unless it breaks a key trendline that could change its trajectory.

Why The Bitcoin Bear Trend Remains Unchanged

Market expert CrypFlow has released a fresh Bitcoin price analysis on X this week, maintaining a largely bearish outlook for the cryptocurrency unless it can break out of a critical trendline. According to the analyst, Bitcoin recently faced another rejection from the Relative Strength Index (RSI) downtrend on the three-day timeframe. 

CrypFlow observed that each minor bounce into key resistance areas continues to be sold off quickly, underscoring a weak price structure. The analyst explained that Bitcoin’s continued downward trend, despite occasional relief rallies, stems from its consistent adherence to a distinct bearish structure. 

Within this structure, Bitcoin forms a Bear Flag, encounters a rejection at key resistance levels, and then resumes its decline toward lower levels. CrypFlow’s accompanying chart offers further clarity on this bearish pattern. The overall narrative is that the market has remained in a sustained bear trend since Bitcoin reached its peak. 

Based on the chart, the analyst identified BTC’s cycle top around October 2025, when the price skyrocketed above $126,000. From that high, a clear descending channel formed, represented by two converging red trendlines that slope downward from upper left to lower right.

As Bitcoin continued to decline within the descending channel, the cryptocurrency formed two distinct Bear Flag patterns. The first appeared around November to December 2025, where the price consolidated sideways within a rectangular range after a sharp drop, before breaking down violently again. The second and more recent Bear Flag is forming right now in March 2026. During this phase, BTC rebounded from levels below $65,000 and has since been consolidating within a rising wedge pattern. 

The emergence of a new Bear Flag continuation pattern suggests that CrypFlow anticipates another downward move if the price breaks below the current structure. The analyst highlighted a strong horizontal support zone around $62,650, noting that this level currently supports Bitcoin’s entire structure. This support level represents a critical line in the sand for bulls and bears, and a breakdown below it could signal serious further downside. 

On the bullish side, CrypFlow added that a decisive break above the descending trendline, potentially pushing Bitcoin’s price beyond $73,000, could invalidate the ongoing bearish trend and open the door to renewed momentum. 

Negative RSI Indicators Signal Further Downtrend

At the bottom of his Bitcoin price chart, CrypFlow highlighted movements in both the RSI and the Stochastic RSI. At the time of the analysis, Bitcoin’s RSI stood at 41.59, confirming its dominant bearish momentum. 

The analyst also identified two “Oversold” RSI readings, one in December 2025 and the other around February 2026, both of which coincided with sharp price drops. Notably, a descending red trendline across the RSI indicates that each bounce has been weaker than the last, a major bearish signal. 

In addition, the Stoch RSI recorded readings of 79.57 and 89.51, placing the indicator in overbought territory. CrypFlow marked two separate “Bearish Cross” events on the Stoch RSI, one in December 2025 and the other recently in March 2026. A significant price drop followed the earlier bearish cross, and the current one forming now suggests that selling pressure may be building again, potentially signaling a stronger correction in the near term.

Ethereum is beginning to formalize its post-quantum security push in public. ETH Foundation researcher Will Corcoran used a presentation at the Institutional Ethereum Forum in New York to lay out both the threat model and the protocol work already underway. The effort matters well beyond ETH, he argued, because the core bottleneck is not unique to one chain: every proof-of-stake network built on today’s cryptographic assumptions will eventually face the same scaling problem.

Alongside the talk, the Ethereum Foundation launched pq.ethereum.org, a new portal that packages the project’s roadmap, technical resources, FAQs for institutions, and a registration form for a post-quantum retreat in Cambridge in October 2026. Corcoran framed the site as a way to consolidate years of research and answer what he described as growing inbound interest from institutions asking how Ethereum plans to prepare for a future in which quantum computers can break elliptic-curve cryptography.

Ethereum Eyes Post-Quantum Industry Standard

That future is still projected to be years away, but Corcoran said Ethereum is already working against a tight window. He pointed to current estimates for “Q-Day”: the arrival of a cryptographically relevant quantum computer, clustering around 2032, while the current roadmap targets key post-quantum components for the protocol’s “L” or “M” fork, roughly around 2029.

The presentation’s core argument was that post-quantum security cannot be reduced to a simple signature swap. Ethereum today relies on elliptic-curve cryptography across the stack: validator attestations at the consensus layer, blob proof data at the data layer, and transaction and wallet signatures at the execution layer. If that cryptography is broken, large parts of the network’s security model break with it.

But replacing it introduces a second-order problem. Ethereum’s current BLS signatures are compact and aggregate extremely efficiently: 10,000 signatures still compress to 96 bytes. The proposed post-quantum replacement, a hash-based scheme Corcoran called Lean Sig, is around 3,000 bytes per signature, and naively aggregating them would produce roughly 30 megabytes of data per slot.

That tradeoff is not merely an engineering inconvenience. Corcoran repeatedly tied it back to Ethereum’s decentralization constraint, arguing that bigger signatures would raise bandwidth requirements, reduce the number of viable home validators, and weaken the chain’s security properties. In his telling, the entire design challenge is downstream from that point.

“So making Ethereum post quantum secure isn’t just as simple as swapping out the signature schemes because that one change cascades through everything else,” he said. “Bigger signatures would result in more bandwidth that would result in fewer home validators, less decentralization, and weaker security guarantees. So that one change cascades through everything.”

Ethereum’s proposed answer is a pairing of LeanSig with a proving system called Lean Multisig, which Corcoran described as a STARK-based aggregation engine. Instead of forwarding all of the signatures directly, the system aims to prove that they were verified correctly and compress the output to around 125 kilobytes. He called that roughly 250x compression “the moon math” that makes post-quantum consensus viable on Ethereum.

Corcoran also used the talk to stress that this is no longer a purely theoretical research thread. He said Ethereum is already running devnets with 10 client teams, has shipped four devnets so far, and is building around three-slot finality and four-second slots as a design basis. The broader effort, he added, spans more than eight years of research, about $25 million in funding, and roughly 1,500 contributors across more than 250 organizations and teams.

For Ethereum, the immediate message is that post-quantum readiness is becoming a visible part of its long-range protocol agenda. For the rest of crypto, Corcoran’s claim was broader.

“Really, every proof of stake blockchain faces the same challenge, and that challenge is the ability to aggregate at scale hash based signatures. It’s nonnegotiable,” he said. “When we succeed in shipping LeanSig and LeanMultisig and Lean consensus, we think that this could really become the de facto industry standard.”

At press time, ETH traded at $2,154.

Polymarket, the world’s largest prediction market, is rolling out new safeguards against insider trading and manipulation.

Polymarket’s Most Recent Bet

The pressure generated from the growing scrutiny that prediction markets have come under as of late seems to have done the trick. Polymarket updated its rules on Monday and shortly after, Kalshi, its main competitor, announced new guardrails that preemptively block politicians, candidates and sports insiders from trading on related markets, Bloomberg claims.

Neal Kumar, Polymarket’s chief legal officer, said in a statement that the goal of this update to the rulebook is clarifying the expectations they have for the users. “Markets thrive on clarity”, he claims:

“These rule enhancements make our expectations abundantly clear for every participant across both platforms and highlight the compliance infrastructure we have already built. As Polymarket continues to scale, we will build on our foundation with clear communication to Polymarket’s users to ensure our markets do what they do best — surface truth.”

The timing is not casual. Also on Monday, Senators Adam Schiff (D-CA) and John Curtis (R-UT) introduced a bipartisan Senate bill targeting sports‑style bets on platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi, after a string of “suspiciously well‑timed” trades. The Senate concerns go beyond the law, citing the surge of gambling culture promoted by online betting can easily lead to addiction.

What Actually Changed At Polymarket And Kalshi

Polymarket updated its Terms of Use and U.S. Rulebook with enhanced “market integrity” rules across both its DeFi platform and CFTC‑regulated U.S. exchange. The new language explicitly bans trading on stolen or confidential information when using it would violate a duty of trust or confidence (classic insider‑trading standard). It also prohibits trading on illegal tips, where a user knows or should know the person sharing the information is themselves barred from trading on it. Additionally, users who can influence the outcome of a bet, such as government officials, corporate executives, or athletes tied to the event, are barred from trading on related contracts.

The rulebook also spells out broader manipulation bans, including spoofing, wash trading, fictitious transactions, front‑running, self‑dealing and other disruptive practices. The dedicated “Market Integrity” provide tools to report suspicious activity across both platforms, highlighting a multi‑layer surveillance and enforcement framework that combines automated monitoring with human review to flag and investigate questionable trades.

Similarly, on its side, Kalshi announced expanded “guardrails” against insider trading and market manipulation, framed as a response to CFTC guidance and the latest congressional proposals. The exchange is rolling out technological screens that aim to preemptively block politicians, political candidates and campaign insiders from trading on their own races. Similar screens will bar athletes and other “relevant people”, like team staff, league insiders and other connected personnel, from trading in sports markets they are involved with.

What This Means For Traders

Prediction markets have exploded into a multi‑billion‑dollar venue for trading politics and sports, but that scale brought CFTC scrutiny, state‑level pushback and now congressional bills aimed squarely at their growth engines. Some of the critiques show valid ethic concerns. Let’s not forget that not too long ago, Argentinian authorities ordered a full national ban of Polymarket after it “predicted” inflation data back in February. On top of that, the platform faced terrible backlash recently after bettors sent death threats to Times of Israel military reporter Emanuel Fabian, following his report of an Iranian ballistic missile on March 10.

Polymarket and Kalshi are now racing to build compliance as a moat: whoever convinces regulators first may become the default institutional on‑ramp, while weaker venues risk being regulated into the ground. Traders can expect tighter KYC/surveillance and less tolerance for “edge” based on non‑public info.

A federal push to shift crypto oversight away from the Securities and Exchange Commission may be reshaping how states like Delaware think about stablecoins and digital asset regulation in general.

Last Friday, the SEC sent two proposed rules to the White House that could lead to most crypto assets being treated outside of securities law, with the Commodities Futures Trading Commission potentially taking the lead. Days later, Delaware made its own move.

A Two-Bill Package Targeting Finance And Digital Assets

On Monday, Democratic Sen. Spiros Mantzavinos and Representative Bill Bush filed a pair of bills — Senate Bill 16 and Senate Bill 19 — designed to bring Delaware’s banking laws into the modern era.

The Banking Modernization Act focuses mainly on traditional finance, updating corporate governance rules and introducing definitions for digital assets to give the sector clearer legal footing.

The Payment Stablecoin Act goes further, creating a licensing system for stablecoin issuers and digital asset service providers operating in the state.

Both bills borrow language from the federal GENIUS Act, a stablecoin bill working its way through Congress. The state measure outlines required safeguards: reserve shortfall rules, set timelines for customer redemptions, capital requirements, and anti-money laundering obligations.

If signed into law, the State Bank Commissioner would be responsible for putting the rules into effect.

Governor Matt Meyer backed the effort. “This legislative package sends a signal loud and clear,” he said, adding that Delaware aims to make it easier for residents to send, receive, and save money using only an internet connection.

A State That Has Been Here Before

Delaware has courted stablecoins and blockchain companies for years. Back in 2016, then-Governor Jack Markell launched the Delaware Blockchain Initiative to attract firms working in the space.

Incremental regulatory changes followed over the years. But the state hit a rough patch recently when several technology and crypto companies pulled out.

Coinbase, one of the largest crypto exchanges in the world, reincorporated in Texas after publicly criticizing Delaware’s Chancery Court, which handles corporate disputes.

The new bills are widely seen as an attempt to win back that kind of business. “Our administration is focused on attracting the jobs of the future,” Meyer said.

Stablecoins: More Legislation Still Coming

Neither bill is close to becoming law. Both must clear the Senate Banking Committee before reaching the full Delaware Senate floor for a vote. A third bill is also on the way.

Officials said lawmakers plan to file the Delaware Money Transmission and Virtual Currency Modernization Act in the coming days.
