On April 7, 2026, Bloomberg Intelligence strategist Mike McGlone said stablecoins could drive a major 'flippening,' with Tether's AUM potentially surpassing Ethereum in 2026 and later Bitcoin. He also warned Bitcoin may revisit much lower levels, citing a possible move toward $10,000 by 2026 and arguing that broad risk-market weakness and higher volatility could pressure crypto prices.

An analyst who goes by Credible Crypto said Ethereum appears to be in the late stages of forming a bottom, pointing to a potential triple-bottom on the three-day chart. He suggested ETH could retest around $1,880 before climbing to $2,420 as soon as April 7, while also expecting ETH/BTC to post a 20%+ advance.

Drift Protocol, a Solana-based DeFi platform, said on April 1, 2026 that it is investigating unusual activity and urged users not to deposit funds while the review continues. Lookonchain reported that more than $270 million in crypto was suspiciously moved to wallet "HkGz4K", then swapped into USDC and bridged to Ethereum to purchase ETH. The tracker said the buying reached 19,913 ETH ($42.6 million) before rising to 38,820 ETH ($82.6 million).

KillaXBT says he has begun gradually accumulating Bitcoin after a steep sell-off since October, while still keeping a trader's short position as part of a separate strategy. He estimates BTC has already fallen 51% from its highs and thinks another 10%-15% downside is possible before a macro bottom forms, with sideways "chop" potentially lasting until September. Bitcoin was priced at $67,723 at the time of writing.

On March 31, 2026, the U.S. Department of Labor unveiled a proposed regulation that could broaden what 401(k) retirement plans are allowed to offer, including potential access to cryptocurrency and other alternative assets. The rule sets a process-focused standard for fiduciaries to assess options by criteria such as performance, fees, liquidity, valuation, and complexity, while adding a “safe harbor” approach aimed at lowering litigation risk.

Institutional investors sold a combined $414 million worth of Bitcoin and other digital-asset products over one week, according to CoinShares.

Morgan Stanley's spot Bitcoin ETF, expected to trade under the ticker MSBT, could debut in early April 2026. The product is set to charge a 0.14% fee, lower than BlackRock's 0.25% fee for its flagship Bitcoin ETF. The report also notes Morgan Stanley has 16,000 advisors and about $1.9 trillion in AUM within its Investment Management division.

Crypto analyst Benjamin Cowen said in a March 26, 2026 video that Bitcoin (BTC) may face another sharp move lower sooner than many expect. He argued that comparisons to Bitcoin's March-style recovery are misplaced, and pointed instead to 2022-like behavior where price failed to reclaim the 21-week EMA. Cowen also questioned whether $60,000 will hold as solid support, citing weekly RSI, MVRV Z-score, and realized price levels as not yet aligning with typical bear-market bottom zones.
