On April 26th, Nick Tomaino, the founder of 1confirmation, posted on X and stated, "Most people in the crypto industry mainly focus inwardly, and the circle is very closed. Many people just happened to be in the right place at the right time and earned a huge amount of money. Therefore, the desire to replicate past successful models is natural. But that era has come to an end. Now you must truly understand mainstream culture and the intersection of the crypto industry with it. In today's crypto space, cognition, capital, and competition are much more abundant, and simply 'going with the flow' is no longer an easy path to success." For instance, if you want to create an on-chain game, you must have a thorough understanding of everything about Web2 games and build an on-chain game based on this knowledge. Simply copying what Axie has done is far from enough.

On April 26th, according to Coinglass data, the volatility of Bitcoin has seen a slight rebound to 2.9%, which had dropped to 2.66% on April 20th. High Bitcoin volatility is typically associated with speculative trading and the retail Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) sentiment. When volatility declines, it may suggest a reduction in short-term speculators, and the market enters a consolidation phase or a "cooling-off period." Additionally, the volatility of the Bitcoin price is often linked to macroeconomic events such as inflation expectations, interest rate changes, or geopolitical risks. When these external factors stabilize, the volatility of Bitcoin may decrease accordingly.

On April 26th, with Bitcoin recently rising above $94,000, it is currently trading at $94,179.

As of April 20, 2025, Strategy holds 538,200 BTC, which is valued at $36.47 billion, and the average holding price is $67,766.

On April 26th, Alex Gluchowski, the founder of ZKSync and CEO of Matter Labs, stated that Ethereum, as the "world computer", still has a clear product-market fit. Its true moat lies in the network itself rather than downstream applications. Gluchowski emphasized that Ethereum is the foundation of the value internet. Its trust neutrality stems from mathematics, open-source code, and thorough decentralization. He pointed out that if Ethereum can maintain its status as the world computer, the value of the global transaction infrastructure and payment systems will directly or indirectly flow to ETH. At the same time, he believes that the value internet will not operate solely on a single chain. The future of Ethereum lies in becoming the secure base layer of a large decentralized blockchain network. However, this vision can only be realized when Ethereum fully leverages its core strengths.
