April 30 – Chloe, a columnist for HTX DeepThink and researcher at HTX Research, noted that the Federal Reserve is entering an overlapping phase of “policy path uncertainty” and “power structure reshaping.” Its impact on crypto markets has shifted from being driven solely by interest rate expectations to a more complex framework of liquidity and risk pricing. On one hand, the Fed’s current leadership under Jerome Powell has explicitly signaled no short-term interest rate cuts. Amid rising energy prices, core inflation holding steady around 3%, and tariff pass-through effects, real interest rates may remain elevated or even tighten further. This directly limits the crypto market’s “beta” expansion potential, particularly crimping sectors reliant on leverage and liquidity—like perpetual swaps (Perp) and decentralized finance (DeFi). The incoming Kevin Warsh is pushing for a decision-making process that is “more divided and openly debated.” This means future policy signals will no lo

April 30 — Per LookOnChain data, a top original OG whale (who initially invested $13,760 to buy 103.33 quadrillion SHIB, with a peak value of $8.9 billion) sold another 800 billion SHIB today, netting $4.9 million. Over the past few years, the whale has offloaded 4.06 quadrillion SHIB, realizing a $37.6 million profit. It currently holds 99.27 quadrillion SHIB—valued at $625.41 million, or 16.84% of the total supply. Total profits now exceed $660 million, with a return on investment (ROI) of up to 48,000x.

Hiromi Yamaji, CEO of JPX (the Tokyo Stock Exchange’s operator), noted: “Asset management firms have shown strong interest in launching cryptocurrency ETF products. Once legislation and tax treatment are clarified, we’re ready to move forward.” JPX also added that if progress hits any delays, the listing could be pushed back to 2028.

As of April 30th, data from GMGN (via the link https://t.me/gmgnaibot?start=i_m4TE56o8) shows Solana-based leveraged prediction market token Space (SPC) saw its market cap surge past $83 million shortly after official listing/trading yesterday evening—before plummeting sharply. Its current market cap stands at just $5.9 million, a drop of over 90%. Community consensus and on-chain analysis both point to massive sell-offs by early whales and internal wallets: the top five addresses control roughly 70% of the token supply, while the top 20 hold around 80%. Multiple whale addresses dumped significant amounts via decentralized exchanges (DEXs) including Jupiter, Raydium, and Orca shortly after launch. Community feedback also notes presale participants were unable to claim their tokens even after the price collapse. The project initially targeted a $2.5 million presale but ended up raising ~$24 million. In January, the team sparked controversy by changing rules to retain most oversubs
