比特币跌破 102,000 美元：加密货币市场面临韧性考验

BVNK has secured backing from Visa Ventures, marking the payments giant’s latest move to integrate stablecoin technology into its global network. Stablecoin payments infrastructure provider BVNK has secured a strategic investment from Visa, deepening the traditional payments giant’s push into blockchain-based settlement technologies. The investment, made through Visa Ventures, was announced Tuesday by BVNK CEO Jesse Hemson-Struthers. Although the financial terms weren’t disclosed, the move follows BVNK’s $50 million Series B round in December 2024, which was led by Haun Ventures and included backing from Coinbase Ventures, Scribble Ventures, DRW Venture Capital, Avenir, and Tiger Global. Hemson-Struthers described the partnership as “more than capital,” calling it a “powerful validation of our vision to upgrade global payments with stablecoin technology.” Crypto.news reached out to both BVNK and Visa multiple times, but neither responded by the time of publication.

The firm positions its service as an alternative to the traditional correspondent banking system, which it says is too slow and expensive for many modern business needs. “At BVNK, we recognized early that stablecoins would emerge as an instant global payment rail and a viable alternative to the traditional correspondent banking system. That’s why we’ve built our infrastructure from the ground up to automate and orchestrate stablecoin payments at scale, making these new rails accessible to businesses of all sizes.” Hemson-Struthers Chasing stability The Visa investment comes at a time when the stablecoin sector is showing signs of broader institutional interest. In late April, Visa partnered with Stripe-acquired Bridge startup to enable fintechs to issue Visa cards that draw directly from stablecoin balances. The new product, initially launching in six Latin American countries, allows users to fund cards with stablecoins, which are then converted to local fiat at the point of sale. Merchants receive payments in their local currencies, with no exposure to crypto volatility. Bridge CEO Zach Abrams described the collaboration as a “massive unlock for developers,” adding that everyone “will be able to use stablecoins with just a tap.” Visa’s chief product and strategy officer, Jack Forestell, emphasized that the company aims to “integrate stablecoins securely into its global network,” giving consumers and developers more financial options. BVNK appears to be part of this broader strategic direction. In its announcement, the company noted that its stablecoin rails could help redefine how businesses operate in the digital economy, particularly in regions with limited access to efficient cross-border banking. The firm has also been expanding into the U.S. market, opening offices in San Francisco and New York earlier this year. Its U.S. operations are being led by former BlockFi executive Amit Cheela and former Cross River executive Keith Vander Leest. ‘Trillion-dollar opportunity’ Stablecoin payment volumes have surged in recent quarters. Visa’s Onchain Analytics platform reports $33.4 trillion in global stablecoin volume across 5.5 billion transactions, indicating growing traction beyond trading use cases.

Not just trading and speculation — real businesses will start using on-chain dollars for instant settlement.” Qureshi He also added that efficiency and accessibility would allow stablecoins to outpace traditional systems, especially as regulatory clarity improves. Pantera Capital, another prominent crypto venture firm, has called stablecoins a “trillion-dollar opportunity,” noting that they now account for over 50% of blockchain transaction activity, compared to just 3% in 2020. For BVNK, the Visa deal is also a reputational milestone. Hemson-Struthers framed it as a return to first principles in payments innovation. “I’m particularly excited about what it means to partner with Visa—the original payments innovator,” he said, adding that Visa’s expertise in building global payment networks, combined with BVNK’s stablecoin infrastructure, would create “powerful possibilities.” Read more:Stablecoins account for nearly 50% of South Korea’s crypto outflows in Q1, officials say

DeFiance Capital 创始人 Arthur Cheong 警告称，加密货币价格操纵现象日益严重，并称在 Mantra 和 Story Protocol 代币崩盘的背景下，这种趋势对投资者信任构成了严重威胁。 在 4 月 14 日 X 的一篇文章中，Cheong 警告说，项目和做市商越来越多地在幕后合作，人为地维持代币价格，从而创建一个“你不知道价格是有机需求和供应的结果”还是协调操纵的结果的市场。 他接着表示，中心化交易所忽视了这个问题，造成了所谓的“柠檬市场”，内部人士获利，而投资者承担风险。Cheong 还指出，近期大多数代币发行活动表现不佳，上线后价格下跌了 70% 至 90%。 目前困扰流动性加密货币市场的最大问题是项目和做市商如何合作创造出可以长期维持的虚假价格，这是一个完全未知的问题。你不知道价格是否是由有机需求和供应决定的……— Arthur (@Arthur_0x) 2025年4月14日 由于普遍存在的价格操纵，Cheong 得出结论：除非该行业修复这些结构性缺陷，否则很大一部分加密货币市场仍将处于“无法投资”的状态。 您可能还喜欢：担心内部人士抛售，Mantra DAO 将价值 2696 万美元的 OM 转入币安 Cheong 的这篇帖子是在 Mantra (OM) 代币在不到 24 小时内暴跌 90% 、市值蒸发超过 50 亿美元之后发布的。独立加密货币分析师指出，在价格暴跌前不久，Mantra 已将数百万枚 OM 代币转移到 OKX，但 Mantra 否认了这些说法。 With 90% of the token supply controlled by the team, many believe this was a case of insider selling disguised as a market event. Mantra’s CEO denied any wrongdoing, blaming the crash on CEX liquidations. The concerns didn’t stop with Mantra. As the Mantra drama unfolded, Story Protocol’s (IP) token dropped 25% within an hour, falling from $4.24 to $3.02 before partially recovering. Once more, Binance and OKX, the same exchanges connected to the OM crash, accounted for the majority of the trading volume. Binance suggested the crash was caused by forced liquidations, while OKX pointed to tokenomics changes and suspicious exchange deposits. The conflicting statements added to speculation over manipulation. 与此同时，操纵行为已经蔓延到去中心化市场。上个月，Hyperliquid 上的一名交易员做空了价值 500 万美元的 JELLY 代币，然后通过在链上推高代币价格自行清算头寸，导致 Hyperliquid 的金库吸收了损失。 在与 crypto.news 分享的分析中，Oak Security 的 Jan Philipp Fritsche 博士将其描述为“未定价 Vega 风险的教科书式案例”，展示了即使没有技术漏洞，DeFi 设计中的漏洞仍然可以被利用。 阅读更多：OM 价格暴跌 90%：币安和 OKX 对 OM 暴跌做出回应

CryptoQuant 首席执行官 Ki Young Ju 表示，比特币可能会在熊市中持续至少六个月，因为链上数据显示，尽管资本流入增加，但价格却缺乏变动。 比特币 (BTC) 在 4 月份开局不利，跌至三周低点 77,077 美元。在 4 月 5 日 X 上的一篇文章中，Ju 指出，当前比特币熊市状况如何反映在市值和实际市值等链上指标中。 实际市值根据钱包变动决定进入比特币的实际资金量，而市值则基于交易所的最新价格。熊市通常表现为尽管实际市值上升，但市值停滞或下降。这表明尽管资本正在进入市场，但价格没有做出反应。 #比特币牛市周期已经结束——原因如下。链上数据中有一个概念，称为已实现市值。它的工作原理如下：当 BTC 进入区块链钱包时，它被视为“买入”，而当它离开时，它被视为“卖出”。使用这个想法，我们可以估算出平均成本……pic.twitter.com/xDHRin8N1Kâ Ki Young Ju (@ki_young_ju) 2025 年 4 月 5 日 Ju 指出，当适度的资本推高价格时，就会出现牛市。然而，当前的熊市趋势得到了这样一个事实的支持：即使是大规模的资本购买也无法推高比特币的价格。他补充说，历史数据显示，比特币价格的真正逆转通常需要至少六个月的时间，因此短期反弹的可能性不大。 你可能还喜欢：随着美国债券收益率、恐惧与贪婪指数下降，比特币价格可能上涨 根据 Coinglass 的数据，比特币第一季度开局表现最差，下跌 11.8%，为 2018 年以来最低。从历史上看，第一季度的亏损对比特币的年度表现影响不一。COVID 恐慌导致 2020 年比特币下跌 9.4%，但年底比特币上涨超过 300%。然而，2014 年、2018 年和 2022 年第一季度的亏损预示着牛市的结束，熊市即将到来。 最近的下跌发生在特朗普总统实施新关税之后，这引发了全球市场动荡。尽管特朗普当选后比特币价格有所上涨，但由于这些新关税引发了人们对经济衰退的担忧，比特币作为美国经济对冲工具的地位现在受到质疑。未来几个月，比特币在经济不确定性面前的韧性将受到考验。 阅读更多：美联储的“冲击”警告可能导致比特币和山寨币价格暴跌

The Ethereum price bounced back this week as investors bought the dip, and the Fear and Greed Index exited the fear zone.  Ethereum (ETH) rose to $1,800, up 30% from its lowest level this year. The rebound, which coincided with that of other cryptocurrencies, pushed its market cap to almost $220 billion. There are signs that crypto investors are embracing the fear of missing out, or FOMO. The Crypto Fear and Greed Index has jumped from the extreme fear zone 18 to the neutral point of $53 today. If the trend gains steam, it will enter the greed zone soon.

All spot ETH ETFs had net inflows of over $157 million, the best performance since February. They had net outflows in the last consecutive weeks, the longest losing streak since their approval. Ethereum had other positive metrics this week. For example, DEX protocols in the network handled over $11.5 billion in volume, bringing the 30-day volume to $57 billion. The 24-hour volume rose to $1.7 billion, with Uniswap, Curve Finance, Fluid, and Maverick Protocol having the biggest market share.  Ethereum price may continue doing well in the coming days as investors target the psychological point at $2,000. The risk to this outlook is the perpetual futures funding rate has plunged, a sign that short sellers are paying a fee to buyers to maintain their trades. Ethereum price technical analysis ETH price chart | Source: crypto.news The daily chart shows that the ETH price has rebounded in the past few days. It has jumped and crossed the upper side of the falling wedge chart pattern, a popular bullish reversal sign. The coin has moved slightly above the 50-day weighted moving average and formed a small bullish flag pattern, a popular bullish continuation sign in the market. Therefore, the coin will likely continue rising as bulls target the psychological point at $2,000. A complete bullish breakout will be confirmed if the coin jumps above the key resistance at $2,120, the neckline of the triple-bottom pattern that formed on the weekly chart.
