The Korea Insurance Development Institute and the Bank of Korea have agreed to form a joint task force to develop digital currency-based index insurance, Edaily reported. The move is a follow-up to a phase two memorandum of understanding for Project Hangang, which focuses on utilizing digital currency and deposit tokens. Digital currency-based index insurance is a product that automatically and immediately pays claims in digital currency when an objective index meets a preset value, such as during an extreme weather event or disaster, bypassing the need for a separate damage assessment process. The task force will concentrate on the research and development of a proof-of-concept model that combines the technical advantages of digital currency with the efficiency of index-based insurance.

The Altcoin Season Index from crypto data platform CoinMarketCap is currently at 37. The index is calculated by comparing the price performance of the top 100 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, excluding stablecoins and wrapped tokens, against that of Bitcoin. An altcoin season is declared when 75% of these top 100 coins outperform Bitcoin over the preceding 90 days; otherwise, it is considered a Bitcoin season. A score closer to 100 indicates a stronger altcoin season.

CME BTC futures opened today at $71,520, creating a gap of approximately $2,110 from the previous trading day's close of $73,630. The CME BTC futures gap refers to the space on the chart between the closing price on Friday and the opening price on Monday. This phenomenon occurs because the CME is closed on weekends, while the Bitcoin spot market operates continuously. The larger the spot price movement over the weekend, the wider the gap. Investors often monitor these gaps on the assumption that the futures price, which is based on the spot price, may eventually move to fill it.

Michael Saylor, founder of Strategy (MSTR), the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, said the company can permanently maintain its dividend without issuing new shares if Bitcoin's value increases by more than 2.05% annually. He explained that Strategy's break-even annual rate of return (ARR) on its Bitcoin holdings is approximately 2.05%. If Bitcoin appreciates faster than this rate, the company can secure the necessary funds for dividends without needing to raise additional capital, he added. Strategy has historically purchased BTC by utilizing various stock sale programs, including the issuance of perpetual preferred stock.

Anthony Scaramucci, founder of U.S. alternative investment firm SkyBridge Capital, has predicted that every company will soon hold Bitcoin on its balance sheet. In a post on X, he highlighted that Elon Musk's SpaceX holds 8,285 BTC, valued at $603 million, despite a $5 billion loss related to its xAI acquisition. Scaramucci stated that soon every company will hold Bitcoin and that his firm would do the same. According to CoinDesk, SpaceX's Bitcoin holdings have remained stable since mid-2024. At Bitcoin's peak in October 2025, the value of its holdings exceeded $1.6 billion. The outlet suggested that SpaceX's decision to hold onto its BTC rather than cashing it out indicates that Musk is treating the cryptocurrency like a treasury asset.

Tron (TRX) founder Justin Sun publicly criticized World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a DeFi project linked to the Trump family, for operating a blacklist and lacking transparent governance, prompting the project to threaten legal action. On April 12, Sun stated that while he had supported President Donald Trump and his crypto-friendly policies, he now condemns the series of token-related controversies surrounding WLFI. Sun, who made a significant investment in the project, said he initially believed it would bring the benefits of DeFi, such as financial freedom and disintermediation, to Americans. He pointed out that the smart contract used for WLFI token distribution contains a backdoor blacklist function, allowing the project to freeze, restrict, or confiscate token holders' assets without prior notice or just cause—a feature he described as the antithesis of decentralization. Sun also claimed that the project's structure was not determined by a legitimate governance vote, alleging that key information was withheld from voters and that the outcome was predetermined. In response, World Liberty Financial questioned if anyone still believes Sun, accusing him of "playing the victim to cover up his own wrongdoing." The project's team stated, "It's the same pattern every time, just the target has changed to WLFI." They added, "We have a contract and will see you in court." Recently, the price of WLFI hit an all-time low after it was revealed that World Liberty Financial had borrowed $75 million in stablecoins using billions of WLFI tokens as collateral. The project has also announced plans to gradually unlock tokens allocated to its early investors.

Anthony Pompliano, CEO of the Nasdaq-listed, Bitcoin-focused financial firm ProCap Financial, has described Bitcoin as a beacon of hope amid the conflict between the U.S. and Iran. Speaking in an interview with CNBC, he noted that while stocks, bonds, and gold all saw significant sell-offs during the recent conflict, Bitcoin remained stable or rose slightly, bucking the trend in the broader risk-asset market. He added that with Bitcoin's volatility now reduced, geopolitical uncertainty could stimulate investor demand to hold the asset, citing its neutrality and the fact that no single country can exert influence over it.

International oil prices have surged after President Trump ordered a naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz following the collapse of U.S.-Iran peace talks. Meanwhile, gold prices fell by 2% at one point to around $4,650 per ounce, erasing all of the previous week's gains. The blockade announcement came after negotiations in Pakistan over the weekend failed to convert an unstable ceasefire, which followed a six-week conflict in the Middle East, into a permanent peace agreement. The spike in energy prices is heightening inflation risks, increasing the likelihood that central banks may delay interest rate cuts or even implement hikes. This creates a bearish outlook for gold, which is a non-yielding asset.

Hungary's stringent cryptocurrency regulations could be relaxed following the opposition Tisza party's landslide victory over the ruling Fidesz party in the general election on April 12, BeInCrypto reported. The outlet noted that the era of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, who has led the country for 16 years, is coming to a close. The Orbán government had implemented a strict policy requiring crypto exchanges to obtain special licenses to operate, a measure considered more stringent than the European Union's Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation. The European Commission (EC) had previously filed a treaty violation lawsuit against the Hungarian government over the policy. Following the opposition's win, there is growing optimism within the local crypto industry that Hungary's high regulatory barriers to entry may be lowered.

Fellowship, a U.S. Super PAC associated with Tether, the issuer of the world's largest stablecoin USDT, is facing conflict of interest allegations over its first expenditure of $300,000 to Nxum Group, a firm co-founded by Tether's U.S. CEO, Bo Hines. According to CoinDesk, Fellowship submitted its first spending report to the Federal Election Commission (FEC), detailing the payment. While the funds were reportedly used for advertising to support Georgia Republican House candidate Clay Fuller, concerns have been raised that funding a company established by a Trump associate could constitute a conflict of interest. In response, U.S. political reform group Issue One stated that Super PACs are not entirely prohibited from self-dealing and that the payment would not violate U.S. campaign finance law if it was made at a fair market price. Fellowship previously appointed Jesse Spiro, Tether's vice president of regulatory affairs, to lead the organization.

The fallout from the war between the U.S. and Iran is likely to weigh on the cryptocurrency market throughout 2026, with a Federal Reserve rate cut unlikely before the third quarter, according to one analyst. Cointelegraph reported on an analysis by Nic Puckrin, CEO of the crypto media outlet and YouTube channel Coin Bureau, which has 2.73 million subscribers. Puckrin stated that even if the war were to end immediately, its effects would be the biggest issue of 2026 and the dominant market narrative for at least the second quarter. He noted that Bitcoin's recovery is already facing headwinds. Puckrin believes a Fed rate cut could be expected in late Q3 or Q4, but it might not happen at all this year. For Bitcoin to recover to $90,000, he outlined several necessary conditions, including a U.S.-Iran ceasefire, oil prices falling below $80, and an easing of concerns about U.S. economic stagflation.

President Trump and his aides are considering resuming limited military strikes against Iran, potentially in conjunction with a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported, citing officials and sources. The move is reportedly aimed at breaking the current stalemate in peace negotiations.

WTI crude oil surged 10.00% intraday to reach $105.33 per barrel. The spike follows the conclusion of the first round of peace talks between the U.S. and Iran in Islamabad, Pakistan, over the weekend, which ended without a deal. In response, U.S. Central Command announced in a statement on April 12 that it will implement a blockade on all maritime traffic to and from Iranian ports, effective from 2:00 p.m. UTC on April 13. The U.S. military clarified, however, that it will not restrict freedom of navigation for vessels passing through the Strait of Hormuz to non-Iranian ports. The move is being interpreted as a full-pressure tactic by the U.S. after the negotiations failed to resolve the key issue of Iran abandoning its nuclear program.
