Read Time:53 Second

A brand-new wallet has withdrawn 1,398 BTC valued at $118.3 million from the Kraken Exchange. Could this be another institutional buyer? 

 

Bitcoin is signalling a potential mid-term rally and has drawn significant institutional interest as of Q1 2025. As of press time, BTC is trading at $84,460 per CoinMarketCap data. Despite slight price fluctuations, Whale Insider has reported a mysterious wallet accumulating BTC, potentially anticipating a rally soon. According to the X post:

 

Newly created wallet withdraws 1,398 $BTC worth $118.3 million from Kraken exchange.

A look at the on-chain metrics reveals that this is a new wallet with no prior transaction history.

So, what does this suggest?

As centralized exchange reserves drop due to large withdrawals (potential accumulation), BTC’s scarcity rises. As demand grows, Bitcoin surges as traders anticipate and speculate on future price increases.

While the withdrawal seems like another crypto transfer, timing and scale influence the market behaviour in the crypto space.

Russia’s Finance Ministry Proposes Ruble-Pegged Stablecoin

1 0
Read Time:54 Second

Russia’s Finance Ministry calls for a ruble-based stablecoin to reduce reliance on U.S dollar-backed stablecoins.

 

Russia, a member of the BRICS economic alliance, has been vocal on the concept of de-dollarization as a way of minimizing U.S dominance on the global economy. In addition to U.S. sanctions over the Russia-Ukraine War, the country also saw its wallets holding over $30 million in USDT frozen.

As a result, Osman Kabaloev, a senior officer in the Ministry of Finance, has proposed a ruble-pegged stablecoin in a move to strengthen Russia’s financial independence. However, the Bank of Russia opposes the idea of private stablecoins while promoting its digital ruble.

 

What does this mean for Russia?

The recent development in Russia’s Ministry of Finance is a step toward wider crypto adoption in its regulated crypto space. The growing split between central regulators and advocates of innovation could open more opportunities for crypto enthusiasts in Russia.

Similarly, this comes a challenge to Russia’s crypto strategy as the country minimizes exposure to western financial control.

Panama City Council has made history as the first-ever public government body to accept crypto for official payments, following years of legislation back-and-forth.

 

Crypto enthusiasts in Panama City are filled with optimism following the city’s decision to accelerate crypto adoption in the economy. The city council voted in favour of this, allowing a partnership with banks to facilitate crypto transactions.

The financial hub of Latin America uses the U.S dollar as a legal tender while hosting over 70 international banks. According to Mayer Mizrachi on X (formerly Twitter):

 

Panama City council has just voted in favor of becoming the first public institution of government to accept payments in Crypto. Citizens will now be able to pay taxes, fees, tickets and permits entirely in crypto starting with BTC, ETH, USDC, USDT.

 

Adding to its favourable tax regulations, using crypto for official payments is a boost to crypto adoption globally. With big global financial institutions integrating crypto payments in the city, the market could see this ripple to other cities where they operate.

Mantra(OM) CEO to Burn 100% of Team Tokens to Restore Trust

Read Time:1 Minute, 8 Second

Mantra CEO JP Mullin has announced a plan to burn 100% of the team allocation tokens to win back the trust of the project’s vast community.

 

April 15th—Mantra CEO JP Mullin has sparked debate in the crypto space regarding the team’s innocence in the recent OM token crash. In a surprising turn of events, Mullin has declared that he is planning a burning strategy for 100% of the team’s allocation tokens. According to his X(formerly Twitter) post:

 

The teams token allocation are actually vesting only starting in 2027, which is 30 months from mainnet launch (Oct. 24). I’m planning to burn all of my team tokens and when we turn it around the community and investors can decide if I have earned it back.

 

This follows allegations of insider trading and manipulations leading to massive liquidations of traders’ positions. However, according to Mullin’s recent interview:

 

We did not sell a single OM… The team also did not get liquidated… We don’t have leveraged positions on exchanges…we don’t do that.

 

He also stated that he will create a “comprehensive burn program” for other parts of the OM supply. Some crypto enthusiasts believe burning 100% of the team allocation could lower their morale.

However, Mullin’s announcement is a step towards desirable accountability and leadership in the crypto space.

How to Leverage Real-World Assets(RWAs) in DeFi Protocols

1 0
Read Time:1 Minute, 1 Second

The tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs) presents opportunities for Decentralized Finance (DeFi) users to earn yield via blockchain protocols.

 

As of 2025, real-world assets such as real estate and bonds are finding their way into the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem powered by blockchain technology. Property, treasury bills, and invoices are on the verge of tokenization for usage in DeFi protocols.

A recent report by Ripple Labs and BCG revealed that the tokenization market could hit $19 trillion by 2033.

So, where can you access and earn from RWAs

DeFi protocols like Centrifuge, MakerDao, and Goldfinch have pioneered the integration of RWAs in their Ecosystems. For instance, MakerDao allows users to earn yield via tokenized U.S. treasury bonds, enabling them to gain exposure to such investments in a decentralized manner.

Using blockchain protocols, real data on ownership and market trends in RWAs is available on-chain for users to access their assets at all times.

With the total value locked (TVL) on RWAs projected to grow exponentially over the next decade, it could be a high time for investors to consider this emerging asset class into the future.
