Bitcoin 'done' with 85% crashes, says Cathie Wood amid new $34K target

ARK Invest CEO Cathie Wood said Bitcoin is now a "proven" asset and likely finished with the extreme 85%+ drawdowns seen in past bear markets, arguing that even a 50% decline would be viewed as a win by many longtime holders. With Bitcoin down about 52% from its October 2025 record near $126,200, analyst Tony Severino projected a deeper but smaller historical-style trough of roughly -72%, implying a potential bottom around $34,000—below the more common $40,000–$50,000 "floor" range. Seasonal bear-market data also suggests April often marks an inflection or recovery period, after March snapped a five-month losing streak with a modest gain.

Canada's bid to ban crypto donations highlights transparency issue

Canada's proposed Strong and Free Elections Act would ban political parties and third parties from accepting cryptocurrency donations—along with money orders and prepaid cards—arguing these payment methods are difficult to trace and could enable foreign interference. Elections Canada and the Commissioner of Canada Elections have warned that crypto undermines a core principle of political financing transparency: knowing the original source of funds, especially since small "non-monetary" contributions under $200 can be effectively unreported. While crypto donations are not widely used federally and official figures are limited, the 2022 trucker convoy's large, partly unaccounted crypto fundraising is cited as a real-world example of the oversight challenges the bill aims to address.

Crypto hackers steal $169M from 34 DeFi protocols in Q1: DefiLlama

Crypto hackers stole about $168.6 million from 34 DeFi protocols in Q1 2026, a sharp drop from the $1.58 billion lost in Q1 2025, according to DefiLlama. The biggest incident was a $40 million private key compromise at Step Finance, followed by a $26.4 million smart contract manipulation at Truebit and another private key breach affecting Resolv Labs. Security leaders say hacks tend to spike around market cycles and liquidity hotspots rather than calendar periods, with North Korea-linked groups and increasingly sophisticated credential theft, social engineering, and AI-driven attacks remaining major threats.

Ether at risk of new 2026 lows if bulls fail to turn $2.4K into support

Ether is struggling to break and hold above the key $2,150–$2,400 zone, with repeated rejections near $2,150 keeping rallies capped. The article says a drop below the ascending trendline could shift focus to $1,900, and if that level fails, Ether may revisit its yearly low around $1,736 amid weak risk appetite tied to global macro uncertainty and Middle East tensions.

Derivatives data adds to the downside risk, with about $1 billion in ETH futures sell pressure hitting quickly after escalatory comments from President Trump. Liquidation levels are skewed lower—around $2.4 billion in potential long liquidations near $1,845 versus $1.7 billion in shorts near $2,255—suggesting larger downside liquidity even though short positioning isn't crowded. A sustained move above $2,150 could open a path to $2,400, and then potentially $2,800 if $2,400 flips to support.
