Elon Musk’s Father Declares Crypto the Future of Finance
Errol Musk, father of Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk, says there is no doubt that crypto is the future of finance.
In an exclusive interview with BeInCrypto Editor-in-Chief Vladimir Arkhireysky, the South African engineer called the old model “finished.” His comments come alongside revelations about his sons’ Bitcoin (BTC) holdings and his own first-hand experience of crypto payments.
Elon Musk’s Father Backs Crypto
Errol Musk was unequivocal about where global finance is heading.
“I have no doubt that crypto will be the future of finance. The old model has run its course, it’s finished,” he said. “The new form of money management is clearly crypto.”
The 79-year-old engineer grounded his conviction in personal experience. He described how transferring money across countries through a bank is “practically impossible,” whereas crypto transfers happen instantly.
“It’s an amazing form of money movement. For example, if I’m in South Africa and I want to bring some money from America through a bank, it’s impossible. They make it so impossible through the bank. If I go to my friends in crypto, they do it immediately, no problem,” Errol told BeInCrypto.
He noted that he has met the founder of Binance, Changpeng “CZ” Zhao, and the founder of Bybit, and has personally received crypto that bypassed traditional banking channels entirely.
Despite his conviction, Errol admitted he does not personally own any digital assets. He described himself as “old-fashioned,” though he said he would like to learn more about crypto.
“What I know about it is small, but it’s a big thing. I am still old-fashioned. I have a bank card,” he remarked. “Altogether, I’m not an expert, but it’s clearly fascinating stuff.”

Inside the Musk Family’s Crypto Exposure
Errol also offered a rare glimpse into the Musk family’s crypto positions.
“I know it sounds astronomical. Elon and Kimbal, my two sons, have 23,400 Bitcoins,” he said.
If accurate, the figure would be striking. Based on the latest data from BitsoinTreasuries, Elon Musk’s electric vehicle firm Tesla holds 11,509 BTC, ranking 12th among the largest publicly traded holders. In addition, SpaceX holds 8,285 Bitcoins.
The family has also dealt in other tokens. Errol revealed that they once received payment in Solana (SOL), an amount he described as “a little more than a million rubles.”
“It was strange for me to receive that payment in crypto. We received Solana back then, it was worth much more, and we got out at the peak,” he mentioned.
Errol Musk is a South African engineer, pilot, and businessman. Born in 1946. Father of Elon Musk, founder of Tesla and SpaceX, and Kimbal Musk, entrepreneur and philanthropist.
Early in his career, he worked in real estate and electrical engineering and was involved in various mining projects across Africa. He is known as a candid speaker who readily comments on his sons’ achievements and global trends.

Victims of the OneCoin $4 billion fraud scheme can now seek compensation through a $40 million fund of seized assets, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) announced on Monday.
Between 2014 and 2019, Ignatova and Karl Sebastian Greenwood, co-founders of OneCoin Ltd. (OneCoin), and others operated an international cryptocurrency investment scheme defrauding up to 3.4 million investors from around the globe, the DOJ said.
The Sofia, Bulgaria-based operation marketed and sold a fraudulent crypto by the same name through a global multi-level-marketing (MLM) network.
Victims worldwide invested over $4 billion worldwide in the fraudulent cryptocurrency which operated through a network of promoters, who solicited investments in return for purported tokens, but notably did not actually involve any cryptocurrencies nor did OneCoin exist on any blockchain.
The ponzi scheme, which the DOJ called “one of the largest global fraud schemes in history”, collapsed in 2017, after Ignatova and her team were found to have manipulated OneCoin’s perceived value through the automatic generation of new coins.
In June 2024, the DOJ offered a new $5 million reward for the missing Cryptqueen. Greenwood, who allegedly called the investors “idiots”, admitted to federal wire fraud and money laundering charges in 2022.
“OneCoin’s founders sold a lie disguised as cryptocurrency, costing victims more than $4 billion worldwide,” said U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton for the Southern District of New York. He also said the DOJ would continue working to seize criminal proceeds and prioritize getting money back into the hands of victims.
The compensation process for OneCoin comes roughly four weeks after the FTX Recovery Trust announced it would distribute $2.2 billion to creditors in its fourth payout under the exchange’s Chapter 11 plan. Earlier rounds totalled more than $6 billion as part of a process aimed at recovering assets for users of the once-prominent crypto trading platform, which collapsed in November 2022, triggering a steep crypto bear market.
Update (April 14 7:51 PM UTC): This article has been updated to with date of nomination hearing.
Kevin Warsh, US President Donald Trump’s pick to lead the Federal Reserve to replace Chair Jerome Powell, has reported millions of dollars in assets ahead of his confirmation hearing, including investments in crypto and AI companies.
In a filing with the US Office of Government Ethics, Warsh reported Excepted Investment Funds (EIFs) in Compound, Dapper Labs, Kinetic, as well as AI companies Delphi, Conversion, Factory, Glue and others ahead of his confirmation hearing in the Senate.
While the prospective Fed chair’s assets amounted to more than $100 million, none of his crypto and AI investments included a value range, Reuters reported on Tuesday.
It’s unclear why the value of the crypto and AI investments were not included in the disclosures, but the ethics’ office rules do not require reporting for assets under $1,000. Among the biggest disclosures were more than $50 million in the Juggernaut Fund and more than $10 million in income from consulting fees for Duquesne Family Office, the investment firm of Stanley Druckenmiller.
Trump announced Warsh as his pick to lead the US central bank in January, but only formally advanced his name to the Senate in March following numerous threats to oust Powell. Whoever heads the Fed has significant influence over US financial policy, including federal interest rates.

Powell’s second four-year term as chair ends on May 15. The Senate Banking Committee announced Tuesday afternoon that it will hold a hearing on Warsh’s nomination to replace the Fed chair on April 21.
Trump still hasn’t announced key nominations for financial agencies
While the Senate Banking Committee may soon consider Warsh’s nomination, Trump has not signaled that he plans to announce additional picks for commissioners at the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) or Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), both of which have empty leadership seats at a crucial time for digital asset regulation.
The SEC currently has only three out of five commissioners in its leadership — all Republicans — while another Republican, Michael Selig, is the sole commissioner at the CFTC, where four remaining slots are unfilled. Both regulatory agencies are expected to play significant roles in digital asset regulation should the Senate pass a crypto market structure bill that has been stalled in the chamber since July 2025.

TLDR
- JPMorgan CFO Jeremy Barnum warned that stablecoins could become a form of regulatory arbitrage under inconsistent rules.
- He stated that some stablecoin models may replicate bank-like products without adhering to traditional banking safeguards.
- Barnum emphasized that equal regulation for similar financial products is necessary to prevent an uneven competitive environment.
- He noted that yield-bearing stablecoins could resemble bank deposits while avoiding capital and liquidity requirements.
- Coinbase has advocated for the ability to pass interest earned on reserve assets to stablecoin holders.
JPMorgan Chase Chief Financial Officer Jeremy Barnum warned that stablecoins could become regulatory arbitrage tools under uneven rules. He spoke during the bank’s first-quarter earnings call on Tuesday. He said inconsistent oversight could let firms replicate banking products without meeting banking standards.
Stablecoins and Regulatory Standards
Barnum framed the issue as a matter of oversight rather than technology change. He said some stablecoin structures could mirror deposit products without similar safeguards. He warned that uneven rules could create regulatory arbitrage.
“If the same product isn’t regulated the same way, you open the door to arbitrage,” Barnum said. He added that some models offer rewards that resemble yield to customers. He said firms could “run a bank” without core banking regulations in that case.
Lawmakers continue to review digital asset legislation in Washington, D.C. The proposed Clarity Act seeks to define oversight between the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. The bill also aims to clarify rules for stablecoins and related services.
The debate also centers on whether issuers can pass reserve interest to holders. Coinbase has urged lawmakers to allow yield distribution on stablecoin reserves. The company argues that interest sharing would improve utility as a savings product.
Banks oppose yield-bearing stablecoins under current frameworks. They argue that such products resemble deposits but avoid capital and liquidity requirements. They also say non-bank firms could attract funds by offering returns that banks cannot provide.
Barnum said JPMorgan supports clear digital asset rules. However, he stressed that consistency matters more than speed in policymaking. He warned that gaps could allow new entrants to operate outside existing boundaries.
JPMorgan Earnings and Digital Infrastructure
Barnum downplayed threats to JPMorgan’s core payments operations. He said the bank already runs a large wholesale payments network. He added that it processes transactions quickly and at low cost.
Instead, JPMorgan continues to build blockchain-based tools within its infrastructure. Through its Kinexys unit, the bank developed JPM Coin and tokenized deposits. These tools allow institutional clients to move funds around the clock.
Barnum described these efforts as part of modernization plans. He said programmable payments now integrate into existing systems. He stated that these features complement rather than replace traditional services.
On consumer products, Barnum addressed compliance requirements. He said stablecoins often appear as digital cash in public discussion. However, he stressed that identity checks and compliance rules still apply.
JPMorgan reported strong first-quarter financial results. Net income rose 13% year over year to $16.49 billion. Revenue increased 10% to $50.54 billion.
The countdown to Bitcoin’s next halving has reached its midpoint. Approximately 105,000 blocks remain before block rewards are cut in half again.
The Bitcoin network is now halfway through the current halving cycle that began in April 2024. When the network reaches block 1,050,000, estimated for April 2028, the block reward will drop from 3.125 BTC to 1.5625 BTC per block.
What the Bitcoin Halving Milestone Means for Supply
Each halving reduces the rate at which new Bitcoin enters circulation. Currently, miners produce approximately 450 BTC per day. After the 2028 halving, daily issuance will drop to roughly 225 BTC.
The halving mechanism is hardcoded into Bitcoin’s protocol and occurs every 210,000 blocks, approximately every four years. This predictable supply schedule is central to Bitcoin’s value proposition as a scarce digital asset.
With approximately 19.7 million Bitcoin already mined out of the maximum 21 million supply, halvings become increasingly significant for the remaining issuance. More than 98% of all Bitcoin will be mined by 2030.
Historical Bitcoin Halving Price Performance
Previous halvings have preceded significant price increases, though the magnitude of gains has diminished with each cycle. The pattern has made halving events closely watched by investors.
The first halving in November 2012 reduced rewards from 50 BTC to 25 BTC. The second halving in July 2016 cut rewards to 12.5 BTC. The third halving in May 2020 reduced rewards to 6.25 BTC. The most recent halving in April 2024 brought rewards down to the current 3.125 BTC.
In each case, Bitcoin’s largest price moves occurred 12 to 18 months after the halving event. However, past performance does not guarantee future results, and market conditions vary significantly between cycles.
This Cycle Is Different Due to ETF Demand
The 2024 to 2028 halving cycle differs fundamentally from previous cycles. Spot Bitcoin ETFs in the United States now hold over 1.3 million BTC, worth approximately $92 billion at current prices.
This institutional demand creates a structural floor that did not exist in prior cycles. ETF investors tend to be longer term holders, including financial advisors, pension funds, and family offices building portfolio allocations.
Meanwhile, Strategy continues accumulating Bitcoin at a pace that exceeds new mining supply. The company now holds over 780,000 BTC and absorbs more Bitcoin monthly than miners produce.
The combination of reduced new supply and sustained institutional demand could amplify the supply and demand dynamics that have historically driven post halving price appreciation.
Two Years Until the Next Bitcoin Halving
With the countdown now at 50%, approximately two years remain until the fifth Bitcoin halving. The exact date continues to shift based on mining difficulty and network hashrate changes.
Current estimates place the halving in April 2028, though projections range from March to May depending on the data source. The network targets a 10 minute block time on average, but actual block times vary.
For miners, the approaching halving means another reduction in revenue per block. Mining operations must continue optimizing costs through more efficient hardware and cheaper electricity to remain profitable after the reward cut.
The halving countdown serves as a reminder of Bitcoin’s fixed monetary policy. Unlike fiat currencies where central banks can adjust supply at will, Bitcoin’s issuance schedule is transparent and unchangeable.
The post Bitcoin Halving 2028 Is Now 50% Complete appeared first on BeInCrypto.
The Bitcoin network is now more than halfway (50.01%) through its current halving cycle, with the next halving expected on April 12, 2028, just under two years away, according to mempool.space.
This cycle, known as “epoch 5”, which began in April 2024 and will continue through to 2028.
A halving occurs every 210,000 blocks, roughly every four years, and reduces the reward miners receive by 50%.
This process controls bitcoin’s issuance and ensures a predictable decline in its inflation rate (currently under 1%). In the current epoch, the block subsidy is 3.125 BTC per block. With blocks mined on average every 10 minutes, around 450 BTC are issued daily.
This 10 minute schedule is maintained through difficulty adjustments, which occur every 2,016 blocks. The network increases or decreases mining difficulty depending on how quickly blocks are found, keeping issuance consistent.
With approximately 104,986 blocks remaining in this cycle, bitcoin’s supply continues its dependable path toward its fixed cap. Each new epoch further reduces issuance and its inflation rate, reinforcing its long term scarcity.
Bitcoin has a fixed maximum supply of 21,000,000 coins, one of its main characteristics which underpins its scarcity. Recently, the network reached a major milestone as the 20 millionth bitcoin was mined, meaning the final million will take another 114 years to mine.
Bitcoin post-halving gains lag prior cycles
Bitcoin is up around 15% since the April 2024 halving, rising from roughly $64,000 to just under $75,000. Previously reached an all time high of around $126,000 in October 2025 before falling roughly 50% to $60,000 in early February.
However, it has underperformed previous cycles over the same post-halving period, continuing the trend of diminishing returns, according to Glassnode data.
This is largely expected as bitcoin matures, with greater adoption and a larger market cap requiring more capital to drive outsized gains. As a result, volatility is declining each cycle and price action is becoming more gradual compared to earlier cycles.
The Stripe-backed Tempo blockchain gained a pair of heavyweight validators in Visa (V) and Zodia Custody, the crypto custodian majority owned by Standard Chartered (STAN).
Alongside Stripe, Visa and Zodia will participate in the Tempo blockchain by maintaining network security and verifying transactions.
Visa, a long-time collaborator of the payments services provider, configured and managed the validator node entirely in-house, following six months of joint work with Tempo’s engineering team to integrate the card giant’s infrastructure directly into the blockchain, according to a press release.
Visa plans to run nodes on some other blockchains following the Tempo integration. The card network had previously said it will join the Canton Network, where there are plans to serve as a “Super Validator.”
For the past seven years or so, Visa’s blockchain engineers have been “living and breathing stablecoins,” said the head of Visa’s crypto team, Cuy Sheffield. Now the focus is on supporting the evolution of new payment flows such as machine-to-machine commerce using AI agents, he added.
“We’ve been an early design partner, working very closely with the Tempo team, looking at designing infrastructure that can support many types of new payment flows, and particularly agentic payment flows,” Sheffield said in an interview with CoinDesk.
Tempo, which is also backed by crypto investment firm Paradigm, went live last month with Machine Payments Protocol (MPP), a protocol that lets software and AI agents pay for services autonomously.
“Visa is a big part of MPP,” Sheffield said. “We added the MPP card spec. We announced Visa CLI, which is a wallet that is built on top of MPP where agents can use a Visa card to be able to spend. So we’ve been deeply involved in the Tempo and the MPP ecosystem, and now we’re running the underlying infrastructure on Tempo.”
There’s no doubting Stripe’s conviction when it comes to assembling an end-to-end blockchain-based system for stablecoin payments. But, taking a step back, some people might question how open and decentralized such a system is.
Sheffield, in response, said Visa is simply being pragmatic, looking for products that can drive payment volume.
“Our view has always been that decentralization is a spectrum,” Sheffield said. “There are many use cases where decentralization for the sake of decentralization doesn’t solve a problem. I think we’re now entering a phase in the crypto industry where decentralization is not the primary value prop. It’s whether a new payment infrastructure is fast, efficient, programmable and can outperform some existing payment infrastructure for certain use cases.”
Stripe moved into the stablecoin industry when it acquired stablecoin specialist Bridge for $1.1 billion in 2024. Earlier this year, Mastercard made a similar move, buying stablecoin firm BVNK for $1.8 billion.
Asked if Visa had any plans to offer its own stablecoin, Sheffield said:
“It’s so early and the rules haven’t even been fully written yet. We spent a bunch of time with the OCC (Office of the Comptroller of the Currency) and others,” he said. “I think there are many different roles that Visa can play, but everything we do, we want to make sure that we’re doing it in partnership with our clients and our network.”

Bitcoin extended its latest bounce, surging about 5% on Tuesday to a fresh intraday high near $76,120 as traders weigh a renewed bullish setup and stronger on-chain activity. The move rekindles expectations of a broader rally, with market participants eyeing higher targets if momentum persists and key resistance zones are cleared.
Key takeaways
- Bitcoin punched to an intraday high around $76,120, reclaiming earlier resistance and signaling renewed upside momentum.
- Analysts see a potential breakout above an ascending triangle pattern, with the next major hurdle near $80,000 and a measured target around $89,050.
- On-chain activity supports the price move: daily transaction count rose sharply in 2026, reaching 765,130 million as of April 5, a level last seen in November 2024 when BTC briefly topped $100,000.
- Network activity is corroborated by higher fee revenue, with total on-chain fees up about 4% week over week to roughly $153,700, suggesting greater willingness to pay for priority processing.
Price action and the chart setup
Trading data shows Bitcoin breaking above the upper boundary of its latest consolidation, with Tuesday’s rally pushing the price above $76,000—levels not seen since early February. Analysts described the move as a breakout that validates renewed bullish momentum, noting that a decisive close above the $75,000 to $76,000 zone would confirm the breakout and widen the path toward higher targets.
“Bitcoin surged above the $76,000 level, breaking above its March highs and signaling renewed bullish momentum,”
Skeptics and optimists alike are watching the same crucial points: a sustained close above the moving averages near $75,000 and a daily close beyond the resistance front near $80,000. If these thresholds are crossed, traders anticipate a continued push toward the measured target implied by the formation—roughly $89,050—which would mark a meaningful shift in the short-term trajectory.
Technical commentary also highlights the pattern at play: Bitcoin appears to be validating an ascending triangle after breaking above the upper trend line around $73,000 earlier in the week. A close above the confluence of the trend line and the 100-day moving average would bolster confidence in a bullish breakout, while a failure to sustain above $75,000 could reintroduce volatility and test lower supports.
As observers map the road ahead, one analyst emphasized that breaking above the pattern and the 100MA would indicate a genuine shift in momentum, potentially accelerating a move toward the $84,000 area and higher. The discussion underscores how chart structure, not just price level, is shaping expectations for the near term.
On-chain activity corroborates the price move
Price strength is aligning with rising on-chain usage. Bitcoin’s daily transaction count has surged in 2026, reaching about 765,130 million as of April 5, according to CryptoQuant data cited in market briefings. This level marks a multi-month high and echoes earlier bursts of network activity that accompanied major price moves.
That activity level was last observed during a period in November 2024 when Bitcoin briefly traded into the six-figure territory, approximating a macro moment when speculative fervor and investor interest peaked. An analyst known on social channels noted that the current transaction count is higher than during some earlier high-price eras, suggesting sustained network engagement rather than a fleeting spike.
The on-chain signal is complemented by commentary from observers who point to the broader implications of rising usage: increased transaction counts can reflect a growing number of market participants, higher merchant adoption, or greater trader activity seeking to execute orders with priority. In this context, the 2026 uptick in activity helps explain why the market is not only chasing higher prices but also experiencing more active on-chain participation.
“The network is showing bull market behavior,”
That sentiment came from a Twitter analyst who highlighted the robust on-chain activity as a meaningful backdrop to price action. While the precise drivers behind the surge remain multifaceted, the association between rising transaction counts and bullish momentum is a recurring theme in recent market cycles.
Fees rise as demand for on-chain priority grows
Beyond transaction counts, Fee activity also rolled higher. Glassnode’s Market Pulse observed that Bitcoin’s total on-chain fee volume increased about 4% over the prior week, reaching roughly $153,700. The uptick in fees is interpreted as heightened willingness among users to pay for priority processing, signaling sustained or expanding network demand even as price moves unfold.
From a market perspective, rising fees can reflect a mix of transaction acceleration by traders attempting to front-run or secure confirmations in a volatile environment, and real-world use cases driving higher activity. While fees alone do not determine price direction, they provide a complementary read on how busy the network is and how users are prioritizing their transactions in this phase of renewed activity.
What this means for traders and investors
The combination of a renewed price breakout, a believable chart pattern, and stronger on-chain signals paints a cohesive picture of renewed appetite among market participants. For traders, the key inflection point remains the daily close above critical resistance—roughly $75,000–$76,000—and confirmation of the ascending triangle’s breakout with a follow-through beyond the next hurdle near $80,000. If these thresholds hold, the measured move toward the mid-to-upper $80,000s—and potentially toward $89,050—becomes more credible.
Investors will also be watching whether the surge in on-chain activity and rising fee volume persists, as it can indicate longer-term engagement rather than a purely speculative sprint. The last time the network showed similar on-chain vigor was during prior price cycles when BTC breached notable price milestones, which adds a layer of historical context to the current setup.
Nevertheless, uncertainties remain. The macro landscape—regulatory developments, policy shifts, and broader market conditions—will always color Bitcoin’s trajectory. A decisive close above resistance levels, followed by sustained momentum, would strengthen the case for a continued advance; a retreat or muted follow-through could prompt a reversion to nearer support around the $75,000 mark.
For readers watching the next chapters, the immediate priority is confirmation: a daily close above the $76,000 zone and a sustained push beyond $80,000 would provide a clearer path toward the higher targets implied by the chart pattern and the improving on-chain backdrop. Until then, the market remains in a wait-and-watch phase, balancing chart psychology with real-time network activity.
Key takeaways:
-
The US Federal Reserve’s shift toward balance sheet expansion may provide the liquidity needed to boost Bitcoin and broader risk markets.
-
The war in Iran and high oil prices might be driving investors toward scarce assets to hedge against rising inflation.
On Tuesday, Bitcoin (BTC) price surpassed $76,000 for the first time in over two months, triggering $285 million in leveraged short liquidations. The rally closely tracked the S&P 500, indicating a high probability of a macroeconomic-driven event. Is the war in Iran the only factor behind Bitcoin’s price gains, and what are the odds of a bull trap?
Crude oil prices stabilized near $95 after peaking at $104 over the weekend, a move many traders view as positive. The inverted chart of crude oil prices depicts a high-intraday-correlation environment.
The war in Iran has been a major source of concern due to its impact on US inflation and supply chain logistics, which limits the ability of global central banks to trim interest rates and exerts negative pressure on economic growth.
Simultaneously, gains in the S&P 500 and gold prices likely indicate a higher probability of stimulus measures, causing investors to seek shelter in scarce assets.
The recent gains in the S&P 500 following failed negotiations to reopen the Strait of Hormuz may seem odd, but the added risk of recession provides the strongest incentive for governments to implement expansionary measures. Regardless of whether the US Federal Reserve opts for a cautious approach, the US Congress and the Trump administration can authorize direct investment in infrastructure projects and social programs, or provide tax credits.
Inflationary worries line up with investors’ Fed policy expectations
Bitcoin does not need to compete with stocks or even gold to capture the capital currently held in money market funds and short-term bonds. The longer oil prices remain above $90, the higher the upward pressure on forward inflation.
Reduced expected returns on fixed-income assets may be the primary catalyst behind Bitcoin’s surge above $75,000, and governments have few alternatives without expanding the monetary base.
The US Fed changed its strategy to expand the balance sheet in January, reversing the trend from the previous two years. This move is highly supportive of risk markets, as short-term concerns about the bond market are diminishing. Financial institutions and hedge funds have greater access to liquidity and face less competition to offload US Treasuries, providing temporary relief to the stock market.
Regardless of whether Bitcoin holds above $75,000, there are few incentives for traders to take profits after two months of trading near $68,000, given the meager 10% gains. Even if Bitcoin eventually rallies to $80,000, that would represent a modest 20% gain for those who purchased at $66,500. Unless traders perceive an imminent risk to oil prices, the odds do not favor continued sell pressure on Bitcoin.

Ultimately, given the likelihood of expansionary monetary policy and inflationary pressures, Bitcoin bears will have a difficult time showing strength, making the odds of a successful bull trap extremely low.

The dogecoin price prediction now sits at $0.0934 after a 70-day accumulation pattern squeezed into a descending triangle that analyst Ali Charts says is ready for a 30% move, per BanklessTimes. DOGE spot ETF products pulled in $1.34 million last week, the best single-week figure since January, but that inflow barely moves a $14.2 billion cap that needs billions to shift direction.
Meanwhile, Pepeto already has a live exchange running before its token even hits the open market. More than $9,012,000 poured in from early buyers, and every new stage brings the Binance listing closer.
Dogecoin Price Prediction Under Pressure as 70-Day Triangle Nears Its Breaking Point
Crypto analyst Ali Charts flagged a descending triangle on April 12 where lower highs keep pressing into flat support near $0.088 to $0.090, per BanklessTimes. The week ending April 10 saw DOGE spot ETFs pull in $1.34 million after four straight weeks of zero flow, pushing total net assets to $10.86 million per SoSoValue data. Developer contributions rose 300% year over year per Benzinga, and GitHub proposal #3776 targets cutting block rewards by 90%. The dogecoin price prediction faces a setup where the biggest chart pattern in months is about to snap, and that kind of tension sends the fastest money straight into early-stage entries.
Accumulation Breakout, Returning ETF Demand, and the Entry That Skips the Wait
How Pepeto Delivers What the Dogecoin Price Prediction Cannot Touch
No other token sale this cycle put a working exchange in front of buyers before asking for a single dollar. PepetoSwap, the multi-chain bridge, and the AI contract scanner were all live and tested before the sale opened. That build-first sequence is the reason $9,012,000 flowed in while the typical meme token can barely close its first round.
Zero trading fees on PepetoSwap mean your full stack stays yours after every swap. The bridge moves tokens across Ethereum, BNB, and Solana for free, so transfers never eat into gains. The AI scanner catches risky contracts before capital touches them. And because each stage raises the floor and shrinks what is left, today’s buyers get a better deal than anyone who follows.
The Pepe cofounder whose first project hit $11 billion without a single tool now leads this build alongside a Binance listings veteran. SolidProof audited every contract before the sale went public. Daily staking rewards at 184% APY keep compounding.
Every stage sells faster than the one before, the buzz keeps spreading, and the Binance listing date gets closer by the day. Against that, DOGE sitting at $0.0934 with a weak ETF trickle and no chart confirmation offers nothing close.
Dogecoin (DOGE) Price at $0.0934 as 70-Day Accumulation Nears a Decision Point
Dogecoin (DOGE) sits near $0.0934 per CoinMarketCap, up about 2.32% over the past day, with every major EMA still pressing down and $0.10 acting as the nearest wall. DOGE spot ETFs recorded $1.34 million in weekly inflows after four weeks of silence, pushing total assets to $10.86 million.
On-chain developer work rose 300% year over year, and GitHub proposal #3776 still targets a 90% block reward cut. The 2026 dogecoin price prediction range sits at $0.09 to $0.21. The gap between $0.0934 and the $0.21 bull target works out to about 127%, and all of it needs sentiment to flip. Pepeto’s path to 100x runs through one confirmed listing that gets closer by the day.
Conclusion
DOGE holds at $0.0934, ETF inflows barely trickling, and 70 days of sideways action still unresolved. Meme tokens with no real products behind them keep losing ground. Pepeto stands alone this cycle: a live exchange, the Pepe cofounder’s track record, and a confirmed Binance listing backing every dollar that enters.
Back in 2020, anyone who put $1,000 into DOGE at $0.002 walked away with $365,000 near the top. That kind of return is what Pepeto is built to deliver again, only now a full exchange and a Binance listing back the entry instead of pure hype. The wallets buying today are positioning for the breakout story 2026 gets defined by, and sitting on the sidelines while the dogecoin price prediction grinds sideways is the kind of miss that stings for years.

FAQs
What is the dogecoin price prediction now that DOGE ETF inflows returned after four flat weeks?
Analysts target $0.09 to $0.21 for Dogecoin in 2026, with recovery needing a confirmed breakout above $0.10 that has not happened yet. DOGE spot ETFs pulled $1.34 million last week after four straight weeks of zero flow.
How does Dogecoin (DOGE) at $0.0934 stack up against a token targeting 100x on listing day?
Dogecoin (DOGE) trades at $0.0934 with a $14.2 billion cap and roughly 127% upside to the bull case over months. Pepeto at its early-stage entry targets 100x from a single Binance listing that keeps getting closer.

Tether (USDT) launches crypto wallet to bring stablecoin, bitcoin (BTC) payments directly to users
Tether, issuer of the most popular stablecoin USDT , rolled out Tuesday a self-custodial crypto wallet aimed at putting its stablecoin network directly in users’ hands, aiming to make crypto payments as easy as sending a message.
The new app, called tether.wallet, allows users to hold and send USDT and USAT (USAT) stablecoins, gold-backed token XAUT (XAUT) and bitcoin across multiple blockchains. It removes common friction points by letting users pay transaction fees in the asset they send and by replacing long wallet addresses with human-readable names like “name@tether.me.”
The move is notable for Tether because it marks a shift to a consumer-facing app from being an intermediary in crypto payments issuing the most popular digital dollar, the $185 billion USDT token. Tether said more than 570 million users already interact with its technology, largely indirectly through exchanges and payment rails. The new wallet brings those functions into a direct interface, where users control their private keys and sign transactions on their own devices.
The launch builds on Tether’s Wallet Development Kit (WDK), an open-source toolkit the firm developed for third-party efforts such as the Rumble wallet, which uses Tether’s infrastructure to enable creator payments and peer-to-peer transfers.
“Tether.wallet is ‘the People’s Wallet,’ said Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino, “because it truly reflects the natural evolution of Tether’s role, from building the foundation of the digital asset economy to making it directly usable by anyone, ready for a future in which tens of billions of humans, machines, and trillions of AI agents will transact seamlessly at the speed of light.”
