Web3 asset data platform RootData released the sixth issue of the "Cryptocurrency Exchange Transparency Ranking (Stock Category)," continuing to focus on the growth trend of stock assets in cryptocurrency exchanges. In this issue, Binance, OKX, Gate, Bitget, and Bybit ranked in the top five.According to the ranking, most cryptocurrency exchanges saw an increase of around 10% in trading volume over the past week, reversing a downward trend that had persisted for several weeks, but the traffic remained mostly flat compared to last week, with no significant signs of rebound.In terms of ranking changes, Gate and Bitget both moved up one position, while Bybit dropped two positions. Bitget launched the first Pre-IPO project SpaceX (SPCX) in this issue, connecting the Pre-IPO product framework with traditional capital markets, enhancing the richness and institutional attributes of its "tradable stock assets," which is an important reason for the score increase this time.It is reported that RootData adheres to the "transparency first" principle and has taken the lead in establishing a dual evaluation system of "transparency + liquidity" in the field of stock cryptocurrency exchanges, thereby providing investors with more effective data references. The ranking will continue to be improved and published in the future.

According to analyst Alicharts, Bitcoin is at a critical turning point. Bitcoin is testing the 100-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) resistance level, marking its third test in six months. The previous two tests ended in failure: in October last year, Bitcoin faced rejection, leading to a 30% drop from $116,000 to $80,000. In January, Bitcoin similarly faced rejection, resulting in a 39% drop from $97,000 to $59,800.Alicharts warns that a third rejection here would represent a significant structural failure. It could trigger a triple top effect, potentially pushing Bitcoin's price back to the annual low of $59,800. If BTC can ultimately break through this barrier and close above the 100-day SMA, then the upper limit will be breached. A breakout here would open a direct path to $80,000 - $84,000, confirming that the macro adjustment may have ended.

The major European stock exchange operator SIX Group announced that its Swiss SIX Swiss Exchange and Spain's BME Exchange will use Chainlink nodes to bring stock market data on-chain.This collaboration allows the market data from both exchanges to be directly read by smart contracts, facilitating the development of blockchain use cases including tokenized stock indices, structured products, decentralized finance applications, and prediction markets. The total market capitalization of the two exchanges under SIX Group reaches 2 trillion euros, providing a reliable data source for the global financial ecosystem. Previously, well-known financial institutions such as Deutsche Börse, FTSE Russell, S&P Global, and cryptocurrency companies like Coinbase have also engaged in similar collaborations with Chainlink. Since its launch last year, Chainlink's DataLink service has been integrated into thousands of decentralized applications and dozens of blockchains.

Analyst Markus Thielen stated that the Coinbase Bitcoin premium has recently rebounded to its highest level since 2025, indicating an improvement in buying activity in the U.S. market, with some institutional funds possibly re-engaging.Data shows that the current BTC price on the Coinbase platform remains consistently higher than on other exchanges, reflecting signs of a warming demand side. Previously, the premium had turned into a discount, which was interpreted by the market as weak sentiment; now that it has re-entered the premium range, it may indicate that the demand side is gradually stabilizing. Additionally, as of mid-April, Bitcoin ETFs continue to maintain a monthly net inflow trend, and if this continues, it may further strengthen the signal of a warming financial environment.

Binance co-founder He Yi (@heyibinance) published a lengthy article on the X platform on April 10, directly responding to a series of accusations made by OKX founder Xu Mingxing (@star_okx) against CZ and Binance. He Yi refuted each point in the article, stating that Xu deliberately blamed Binance for the market crash on March 11, defined the BNB chain meme as market manipulation by Binance, hired online trolls to suppress competitors, and engaged in "six tactics" such as creating controversies to drive traffic to himself. He bluntly stated, "You know too well how to attack a professional woman," emphasizing that his position is earned through independent effort and is unrelated to anyone else.At the end of the article, He Yi also responded strongly to personal attacks against him, stating, "You know too well how to attack a professional woman, just by stigmatizing 'she is where she is today because of a man,' deliberately creating scandalous rumors, and belittling me as 'a trophy'," and emphasized, "My identity is not given by anyone; I built my own empire. I came, I saw, I conquered; this applies to both my career and my relationships."Previously, CZ (@cz_binance) had posted about Xu Mingxing's public $1 billion bet, demanding that he "apologize like a man." Xu Mingxing responded by stating that CZ's public initiation of a huge bet contradicts the professional ethics expected of executives at regulated exchanges. The debate between the two parties is still ongoing.

Australia has officially passed the "2025 Company Amendment (Digital Assets Framework) Bill," becoming the country's first comprehensive digital asset regulatory legislation. The bill requires cryptocurrency exchanges and custodial platforms to apply for a financial services license from the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) and to complete compliance within six months.The new law establishes two types of regulated entities: "digital asset platforms" and "tokenized custodial platforms," which are subject to the same core rules for client asset protection, information disclosure, and dispute resolution as brokers and fund managers. The aim is to prevent risks such as the mixing and misappropriation of client assets. Research institutions estimate that Australia could generate up to AUD 24 billion annually from the tokenized market, payments, and digital assets, accounting for about 1% of GDP; without a regulatory framework, this figure could drop to only about AUD 1 billion by 2030.

According to market news, Spain's CaixaBank has obtained authorization as a Crypto Asset Service Provider (CASP) under the EU MiCA regulation, becoming the sixth licensed bank in the country to offer customers services for the custody, buying, and transferring of crypto assets.The six authorized institutions in order are BBVA, Openbank (under the Santander Group), Cecabank, Renta 4 Banco, Kutxabank, and CaixaBank. Among them, BBVA was the first to be approved in 2025 and officially launched Bitcoin and Ethereum buying and custody services in July of the same year. The MiCA authorization serves as a "regulatory passport" across the EU, allowing licensed institutions to operate legally without having to apply country by country. The transition period in Spain will end on June 30, 2026, at which point unauthorized institutions will not be allowed to provide crypto asset services.

According to the Hong Kong Wen Wei Po, the Hong Kong police's Cyber Crime Unit "Guardians of the Net" disclosed a virtual currency fraud case, where a 66-year-old retiree fell victim to a "virtual currency investment expert" scam three times since September 2025.After being defrauded of 1.4 million Hong Kong dollars for the first time, the victim paid another "expert" a deposit of 600,000 Hong Kong dollars to recover the losses, and was then induced to purchase virtual currency worth 4.6 million Hong Kong dollars to be transferred to a designated account. The scammers went offline after receiving the payments, and the victim's total losses reached 6.6 million Hong Kong dollars within six months, leading to a report to the police for help.The police remind the public not to easily trust "guaranteed profit" investments and so-called "loss recovery" services to prevent being victims of successive scams.
