Coinbase Research: Bitcoin Breaks Key Support, Market Possibly in Early Stage of Long-term Downtrend

2025.04.16 13:32:48

On April 16th, Coinbase Research presented a report indicating that both Bitcoin and the COIN50 Index have fallen beneath their respective 200-day moving averages. This suggests that the market might be in the initial stage of a long-term downward trend. This aligns with the trend of the total market capitalization decline and the contraction of VC funding. Both of these are key characteristics of a potential "crypto winter." The report points out that numerous signs may imply that extreme negative sentiment has emerged as global tariffs are being implemented and there is a possibility of further escalation. This indicates that a new "crypto winter" may be commencing. Meanwhile, cryptocurrency venture capital in the first quarter of 2025 rebounded from the previous quarter but still remains 50-60% below the peak levels of the 2021-2022 cycle. This significantly restricts new capital from entering the ecosystem, especially in altcoins. All these structural pressures stem from the broader macroeconomic environment's uncertainty. As traditional risk assets face continuous resistance due to fiscal austerity and tariff policies, this leads to decision-making paralysis. Despite some unique favorable regulatory factors, the path to crypto recovery remains arduous, even in the face of the poor performance of the stock market. The interaction of these factors makes the outlook for the digital asset space challenging, and caution may still be necessary in the short term (perhaps in the next 4-6 weeks). However, the report also advises investors to adopt a tactical market strategy and remain optimistic about the second half of 2025.

Australian cybersecurity agency sues Telegram for failing to remove terrorist content, seeking AUD 54.6 million in damages

Australian eSafety Commissioner has formally filed a civil lawsuit against Telegram in Australia’s Federal Court, accusing the messaging platform of systematically violating its cybersecurity obligations under the country’s Cyber Security Act. Following a year-long investigation, the regulator alleges Telegram failed to remove flagged content after receiving reports from Australian users—including terrorist execution videos, some of which remained accessible for up to three weeks post-report. The regulator further claims the platform did not detect known terror-supporting content, such as the 2019 Christchurch mosque shooting livestream and content related to the May 2022 Buffalo mass shooting; these pieces of content were not removed until nearly three months after upload. Additionally, the eSafety Commissioner accuses Telegram of failing to remove associated accounts, channels and groups to prevent future violations, failing to uphold uniform terms of service banning terror-supporting content across the platform, and failing to provide reporters with updates on case outcomes. Under Australian law, violations of relevant rules and standards carry a maximum civil penalty of 54.6 million Australian dollars. eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant stated the content in question is linked to some of the most notorious acts of extreme violence in recent history, and remained accessible long after Telegram received notification of it. The lawsuit comes as Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) has just charged Telegram founder Pavel Durov with aiding terrorism and issued an international arrest warrant against him, leaving the platform facing legal pressure from multiple jurisdictions simultaneously.
