Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas said that this year there will be more than 70 crypto ETFs waiting for SEC review, covering a variety of assets such as XRP, LTC, SOL, Dogecoin and crypto derivatives. He said 2025 will be a crazy year.
Despite the increased interest of institutions in the crypto market, analysts point out that approval does not mean it will be widely adopted, especially for ETFs related to non-mainstream currencies.
Sygnum Bank estimates that the capital inflow of altcoin ETFs may be between hundreds of millions and $1 billion, far lower than the spot Bitcoin ETFs ability to attract more than $100 billion last year.
In addition, ARK Invest included the pledged Solana into its two ETFs on April 21, allowing U.S. investors to access spot SOL through ETFs for the first time.
ZKsync published an update on the security incident on the X platform, stating that this incident was caused by the theft of the airdrop management key, which was contained in three specific Merkle distribution contracts for the ZK token issuance in June 2024. Since the total issuance limit of each distribution contract has been fully minted, additional ZK tokens cannot be minted from any distribution contract. No further attacks can be carried out through this method. The stolen management key cannot control any other contracts and cannot perform any other operations except minting unclaimed tokens from the airdrop after the claim window period ends.
Matter Labs is currently the only sorter for the ZKsync Era chain and has implemented transaction filtering for compromised accounts. Matter Labs is unable to respond to all potential incidents involving a single smart contract and is working to upgrade ZKsync to Phase 1 and achieve decentralized sorting. ZKsync Era is currently in Phase 1 Rollup state. It should be emphasized that the ZKsync Governance and Security Committee has the right to replace the sorter and remove all filters at any time. The investigation is still ongoing and efforts are being actively made to recover funds.

Circle to launch cross-border payments network to challenge Visa and Mastercard
Stablecoin giant Circle will release a new payment and cross-border remittance product at its headquarters at the World Trade Center in New York on Tuesday. The product is called Circle’s “next move” and targets users including banks, payment institutions, fintech companies and USDC partners.
Circle is the issuer of USDC, which currently has a market value of about $60 billion. The new network initially focused on cross-border remittances and may challenge traditional giants Visa and MasterCard in the future. According to people familiar with the matter, Circle is working hard to return to its payment roots to expand the application of stablecoins in the global payment field.
As stablecoin regulation becomes clearer, Circle also plans to go public in the United States, but has postponed its IPO due to market volatility. The industry believes that as stablecoins such as USDC and USDT are widely used for cross-border transfers, Circles move may accelerate the process of stablecoins replacing traditional payment systems.

TD Cowen: Strategy purchases of BTC have little impact on the price of the currency
Investment bank TD Cowen released a research report stating that despite Strategy’s growing influence as a major corporate holder of Bitcoin (BTC), its large-scale purchases of cryptocurrencies seem to have little impact on its price, and these purchases are just a drop in the bucket compared to the broader Bitcoin market.
The analysis found that Strategys Bitcoin purchases typically accounted for only 3.3% of weekly trading volume. In the past 27 weeks, the companys total volume accounted for 8.4% of trading volume, but this figure was distorted by a few weeks when buying volume briefly surged by more than 20%. In eight of those weeks, Strategy did not buy any Bitcoin at all.

Analyst: M2 money supply growth may push Bitcoin to $132,000 by the end of the year
Jamie Coutts, chief cryptocurrency analyst at Real Vision, said the growing money supply could push the price of Bitcoin above $132,000 by the end of the year. Bitcoin prices briefly broke through $87,700 for the first time in nearly three weeks since U.S. President Trump announced reciprocal import tariffs on April 2. André Dragosch, head of European research at Bitwise, said: It looks like Bitcoin is rising due to continued weakness in the U.S. dollar, and the U.S. dollar index has just hit its lowest level since March 2022. Ryan Lee, chief analyst at Bitget Research, pointed out to Cointelegraph that a weaker dollar could enhance Bitcoins appeal as a safe-haven asset.
