🌕 CZ-owned Trust Wallet launches AI agents that can execute crypto trades

The digital wallet owned by Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, which has more than 220 million customers, said Thursday that users can now employ artificial intelligence-powered agents to perform a variety of crypto transactions.

"Today, Trust Wallet launches the Trust Wallet Agent Kit (TWAK) — infrastructure that lets AI agents execute real crypto transactions, across more than 25 blockchains, within rules that users define and control," the company said in a blog post. The agents can handle cross-chain swaps across several networks, including Solana and Bitcoin, in addition to managing recurring buys.

Crypto firms are increasingly experimenting with AI-powered automation, aiming to allow users to enlist agents that can actively manage portfolios and execute trades.

The new toolkit offers two ways to operate, one where the AI agent has its own wallet and can execute trades automatically based on set rules, and the other where it suggests transactions that users then need to approve.

"Trust Wallet has always been built on a single principle: your keys, your crypto. TWAK extends that principle into the age of AI agents," also according to the blog post. "With WalletConnect mode, an AI can help you act on your portfolio — research, propose, execute — without ever holding your keys. You stay in control."

While the cryptocurrency exchange initially bought Trust Wallet in 2018, it now operates as an independent company.

🫠 1 Bitcoin fee

Someone wanted to transfer 1 BTC to the Kraken exchange, but ended up with 0.0001 BTC ($10) because the fee was 0.99 BTC ($105k).

Consider that you locked in a profit, just not the way you wanted 😁

🤔 Michaël van de Poppe believes Bitcoin has room to move to $86,000, while altcoins could rise by 30-60%.

Growth drivers: return of risk appetite following a V-shaped Nasdaq rebound, gradual recovery of market momentum, and holding the key support level of $75,000.

💧Lido’s $3M First-Loss Buffer Faces Its First Real Test After Kelp Security Breach

A security incident at Kelp, a liquid restaking protocol, has sent ripple effects through decentralised finance, catching one of Lido Finance’s yield vaults in the crossfire. Lido has paused deposits and withdrawals on its EarnETH vault while it works through two separate but connected problems: direct exposure to a compromised asset and a liquidity squeeze spreading across lending markets.

🔸 The Exposure

Of Lido’s EarnETH vault, roughly 9% of total assets are tied to rsETH, the token at the centre of the Kelp incident. That is not a majority stake, but it is enough to trigger a pause while curators work out exactly how much, if any, has been lost.

The Arbitrum Security Council has already recovered around $70 million in ETH connected to the attack. Further recovery efforts are ongoing, but the final accounting on losses has not yet been settled.

🔸 A Second Problem: The Lending Crunch

Beyond the rsETH exposure, EarnETH is also dealing with a separate headache. Elevated borrowing rates across lending markets have put pressure on looping strategies inside the vault that have nothing to do with Kelp. Vault curators have been actively deleveraging those positions, and Lido says fast action has already achieved a significant reduction in outstanding wETH debt. A fuller update on progress is expected shortly.

🔸 The Safety Net Gets Tested

If losses are confirmed when the dust settles, Lido has a mechanism ready. The Lido DAO treasury holds a $3 million first-loss position inside the EarnETH vault, put there specifically for situations like this one. Under the protection mechanism, the DAO’s vault shares would be burned to absorb losses before ordinary depositors feel the pain, effectively using treasury funds as a buffer.

🔵 Cardano Long-Term Buy Zone for the Next Bull Cycle

Cardano is in the second bear market phase within a multi-year channel, and history shows where it could bottom out and begin to recover.

An analysis from TradingShot highlighted this trend in an April 20 commentary. The report showed that Cardano ($ADA ) has been stuck within this range since the 2021 all-time high of $3.10, with prices currently in a corrective phase.

🔸 Second Cardano Bearish Leg

The 5-year channel has had periods of price consolidation and expansion. For context, after the 2021 peak, ADA entered a bearish phase within a tighter descending wedge, falling 92.3% from the high to $0.239 in December 2022.

Afterward, its price started to recover. From the low, it jumped 452% to reach this cycle’s high of $1.32 in December 2024. The price aligned with the channel’s upper resistance, where ADA’s bullish momentum faded.

🔸 ADA’s Current State

Meanwhile, Cardano has corrected 75.5% from the current bearish channel’s highest price of $1.02 to its current market price of $0.249. The analyst compared the current price point to that of June 2022, when ADA was in the first bearish channel.

During that time, there was a bullish divergence in the weekly timeframe, with prices making lower lows while the RSI made higher lows. This divergence took time to materialize, but when it did, the coin broke out of the bearish channel and targeted higher prices. The analyst has spotted the same bullish divergence, suggesting that ADA could replicate the price action seen in 2022 if history repeats.

🔸 Ideal Long-Term Buy Zone

TradingShot also drew on historical data to project when Cardano was likely to bottom out. According to the commentary, ADA could drop lower to at least $0.10 by the end of the year if the 2022 bear cycle pattern repeats and the coin drops 92.3% within the channel. This would mark another 59.8% drop from the current market price.

🟡 Binance Cuts XRP Pair with Mexican Peso as Ripple Partner Bitso Dominates the Region by 77,879%

World's largest crypto exchange Binance has announced the delisting of the XRP/MXN trading pair, scheduled for April 24. At first glance, the news suggests that Binance is cutting off a fiat route for XRP in Mexico, but a closer look at the data reveals the exchange is removing an uncompetitive segment.

Current market data from CoinMarketCap explains Binance’s decision better than any press release. A comparison of $XRP performance against the Mexican peso reveals total dominance by the local player, Bitso.

🔸 Why XRP/MXN delisting on Binance is actually a win for Ripple’s partner Bitso

Daily trading volume on Binance stands at a modest $2,868, while Bitso processes more than $2.23 million. In addition, Bitso holds about $776,000 in liquidity within 2% of the price. Binance barely exceeds $2,400 in this metric, making large-volume trading on the platform impossible without severe price slippage.

Binance’s exit from this narrow segment does not weaken $XRP ’s position. It highlights the effectiveness of Ripple’s strategy in the region, as Bitso is not just an exchange but a key infrastructure node in the Ripple Payments system. The massive gap in trading volumes, 770 times higher than Binance, confirms that Bitso successfully acts as a liquidity bridge for cross-border transfers between the United States and Mexico.

While Binance attempted to attract retail participants to the XRP/MXN pair, Bitso integrated the asset into the real economy, enabling instant conversion of dollars into pesos through XRP. Binance remains a global hub for speculative trading in USDT pairs, but local fiat corridors are now mostly handled by Ripple’s strategic partners.

Users running trading bots on Binance must close XRP/MXN positions before 03:00 UTC on April 24. For real payments into Mexico, Bitso continues to provide the deepest liquidity and the most stable pricing.

⚪️ Arbitrum freezes $71 million worth of $ETH stolen in Kelp DAO exploit

The Arbitrum Security Council has frozen 30,766 ETH, worth about $71.1 million, held in an address on Arbitrum One linked to the $292 million Kelp DAO exploit over the weekend.

In a Tuesday post on X, Arbitrum said the security council has moved the funds to an intermediary frozen wallet, adding that the action did not affect other chain state and Arbitrum users.

The funds will remain frozen unless further action is approved through Arbitrum governance, the team said.

"The Security Council acted with input from law enforcement as to the exploiter's identity, and, at all times, weighed its commitment to the security and integrity of the Arbitrum community without impacting any Arbitrum users or applications," said the statement. The Block reached out to Arbitrum for further information.

The move follows a major exploit on Saturday involving Kelp DAO, a LayerZero-powered cross-chain bridge, which resulted in the loss of 116,500 rsETH tokens worth roughly $292 million.

Preliminary findings from LayerZero suggested that the attack was likely linked to North Korean hacking group Lazarus.

LayerZero has also criticized Kelp DAO's use of a 1-of-1 decentralized verified network (DVN) configuration, arguing that it introduced a single point of failure by lacking independent verification to detect a fraudulent cross-chain message.

Kelp DAO pushed back on the statement, saying that the 1-of-1 DVN setup was shipped as the default configuration at LayerZero.

😐 More than 6 billion dollars have been withdrawn from AAVE protocols!

🔸 Reason: KelpDAO hack

➤ Markets rsETH are frozen in Aave V3/V4, SparkLend, Fluid, and 9+ other protocols. Loans with wETH in Core, Prime, Arbitrum, Base, Mantle, and Linea are also frozen.

➤ Layer Zero is called a "leaky" DEFI. The project team remained silent for 10 hours after the hack. Later, they only wrote, "We are aware of the hacker attack... we are trying to determine the root cause of what happened."

Many DeFi protocols suspend LayerZero integrations (OFT bridges).

➤ Kelp + LayerZero are preparing a joint official detailed public report (post mortem).

➤ MoveVM developers are discussing the transition of DEFI to the MOVE programming language. The token #MOVE rose by 44% at the moment (Movement).

However, the root cause of the vulnerability is not related to the programming language and the VM.

➤ Justin Sun offers the hacker a deal - "KelpDAO hacker, how much do you want? Let's just talk. There's no need to sacrifice both Aave and KelpDAO and let them go under because of this hack. In any case, you won't be able to spend $300m."

He personally withdrew 65,584 ETH from AAVE (about $154m).

➤ The hacker tried to steal about 80,000 rsETH more, but was prevented. The damage could have exceeded $400m...

➤ Wrapped rsETH in 20+ L2 chains (Base, Arbitrum, Linea, etc.) are now left without collateral.

This is no longer just a story about another hack. It's a case about how one problematic cross-chain path turns into a systemic risk for all DeFi...

📉 The cryptocurrency RAVE (RaveDAO) experienced a sharp drop after a rapid price surge in the RAVE/USDT pair. Following strong hype and quick gains, early investors began taking profits, which led to increased selling pressure. As a result, the price fell significantly in a short time.

This decline highlights the high volatility of the crypto market, where rapid growth is often followed by equally fast corrections.

🔴 Is it a correction or were people just liquidated (shaken out)?

🟣 SOL Eyes $120 Target if Bulls Defend $87 Support Level Zone

Solana continues to attract strong market attention as price action reflects a mix of liquidation-driven momentum and improving technical structure. The asset trades at $88.87, posting a 3.84% daily gain and a 6.39% weekly increase. Trading volume has surged past $6.1 billion, signaling active participation.

Analysts now focus on whether Solana can sustain its recent breakout or face another liquidity-driven pullback. The current setup places Solana at a critical point, where both short-term momentum and higher timeframe confirmation could define the next major move.

🔸 Liquidation Clusters Drive Short-Term Momentum

According to CW8900, recent price movement reflects aggressive liquidation activity across key leverage zones. The liquidation heatmap shows dense clusters below $81 and above $89.

Price repeatedly tested the lower range, triggering long liquidations before reversing sharply. This behavior suggests strong buyer absorption at lower levels.

Moreover, the push toward $90 cleared a significant number of short positions. Consequently, the upward move gained strength as forced closures added buying pressure. This pattern indicates that liquidity, rather than organic demand, fueled the breakout.

However, holding above $87 remains essential for continuation. A drop below this level could trigger a retrace toward $84, where the market may rebuild liquidity.

🔸 Cup and Handle Structure Signals Upside Potential

Additionally, CryptoJobs3 identifies a clean cup and handle formation on the 4-hour chart. The structure developed after a liquidity sweep below $80, where buyers regained control. The rounded base formed steadily, while resistance near $93 to $95 defined the rim.

Recent pullbacks maintained higher lows, shaping a tight handle above $84 to $86. This formation reflects weakening selling pressure and steady accumulation.

🟠 Arthur Hayes Reveals 90% of His Net Worth Is in Bitcoin

BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes has revealed that over 90% of his personal wealth remains tied to Bitcoin. But surprisingly, he won’t buy more right now. However, he also said the market may stay unstable due to global tensions and future money printing.

In addition to this, he has expressed a stronger relative interest in selective altcoins like Zcash and Hyperliquid.

🔸 Arthur Hayes Keeps 90% Wealth in Bitcoin

In a recent interview with Anthony Pompliano, Arthur Hayes confirmed that more than 90% of his total net worth is currently held in Bitcoin.

When Pompliano asked him directly about his portfolio, Hayes did not shy away; he said it plainly,

💬 “I think probably 90% of my net worth is Bitcoin.”

And further, when Pompliano asked what he does when the price swings wildly?

He says nothing. He simply does not react because he got into Bitcoin very early, and his cost basis is extremely low, the day-to-day price movement does not shake him.

Hayes noted that the kind of calm only comes when you have been in the game long enough to stop being scared of the noise.

🔸 Hayes: Won’t Buy More Bitcoin Right Now

Despite holding most of his wealth in Bitcoin, Hayes made it clear he would not put fresh money into it today. His reason is straightforward. He is still waiting for what he calls a big “money printing” event, a major moment when central banks flood the market with fresh liquidity.

🔸 Two Altcoins Hayes Is Most Bullish On

While Hayes is cautious about adding more Bitcoin, he is actively watching the altcoin market for faster-moving opportunities.

Out of everything available, he said Zcash and Hyperliquid are the two altcoins he is most bullish on right now.

In his view, these assets carry stronger short-term upside compared to Bitcoin at current levels, making them more attractive for deploying new capital in the near term.
