GameStop has completed a $1.5 billion offering of Convertible Senior Notes due in 2030. The company plans to use the net proceeds, around $1.48 billion, for general corporate purposes, including potentially buying Bitcoin, following a recent update to its investment policy approved by the board. These notes are essentially a loan that can be repaid in cash or converted into GameStop shares. Despite this news and Tether announcing a large Bitcoin purchase, Bitcoin prices showed little reaction, remaining range-bound and trading around $84,300. GameStop stock has gained almost 7% this week, but is down 28% since the beginning of the year.

Solana's (SOL) price has surpassed $125 but is facing potential bearish pressure. Technical analysis suggests a possible decline, with a bearish flag pattern forming on the daily chart. A break below this pattern could lead to a pullback towards $100. However, there are also signs of bullish divergence, hinting at a potential breakout after a period of consolidation. The price is currently trading within a defined range, and while a pullback is possible, bulls have been defending the $123 support level since March 2024, suggesting a potential rebound. A negative impact on the crypto markets due to external factors, such as new tariffs, could push the price down to $115 or $110. A more significant sell-off would be needed to push it below $100, keeping the possibility of reaching $150 alive.

The price of PENDLE has increased by 8% today, reaching $3.05. This rise is attributed to large investors, known as whales, purchasing approximately $8 million worth of the token in the last five days through five newly created wallets. This accumulation coincides with Coinbase listing PENDLE at the end of March. Analysts suggest that breaking above the $3 level could lead to a further price increase, driven by the exchange listing and continued whale activity.

The price of EOS has increased by 16% in the last 24 hours, reaching a two-month high, and its market capitalization has exceeded $1 billion. This surge follows the unveiling of the Vaulta Banking Advisory Council by the EOS Network. Vaulta is a feature designed to connect traditional banking with Web3, and its advisory council includes leaders from banking, fintech, and digital assets. The EOS price has risen by 40% in the last seven days, driven by the growth of its ecosystem. Technical analysis indicates a bullish trend with the potential for further gains, possibly reaching $1.05. However, the funding rate heatmap reveals a high number of short sellers, suggesting some traders anticipate a price reversal.

Dogecoin is currently trading around $0.174, up 4.71% in the last 24 hours, and maintaining support above $0.16. Analysts are watching resistance levels at $0.18 and $0.21; breaking through these could lead to a significant price increase. A drop below the $0.16 support level could result in further price declines. Upcoming announcements regarding tariffs, unemployment data, and inflation reports could introduce volatility and impact Dogecoin's direction.

Vana, a blockchain that allows users to make money from their personal data, has launched a new token standard called VRC-20 for data-backed digital assets. This standard aims to create more reliable and transparent trading of data tokens by establishing rules for supply, governance, and liquidity, while also ensuring the tokens are linked to real data use. Vana is replacing its old reward system with this new token standard, requiring DataDAOs (decentralized data marketplaces) to issue VRC-20 tokens to get financial support. They've also introduced a system where VANA token holders can stake their tokens to data validators, earning rewards based on network security and data availability. Following this announcement, the price of the VANA token has decreased to $5.58, a two-week low, after reaching $8.78 recently.

Circle's plans to become a public company have been met with skepticism from financial analysts. While the company reported revenue of $1.67 billion in 2024, concerns have been raised about declining profitability, high distribution costs exceeding $1 billion, and significant losses in previous years. Analysts point to increased expenses paid to partners like Coinbase and Binance as contributing to lower profitability. The company's valuation of $5 billion has also been questioned, with analysts citing high distribution costs and challenging market conditions ahead. One analyst suggested the IPO could be a move to gain liquidity before facing market difficulties. Potential outcomes include Circle succeeding through partnerships, being acquired by Coinbase at a discounted price, or being acquired by Ripple for a much higher valuation.

VanEck has filed paperwork in Delaware to create an exchange-traded fund (ETF) for Binance Coin (BNB). This is the first time a company has attempted to launch a BNB ETF in the United States. VanEck has previously filed for ETFs related to Bitcoin, Ether, Solana, and Avalanche. The filing indicates growing institutional interest in cryptocurrency ETFs, raising the question of whether BNB will be approved by regulators.

On April 2, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump is set to announce new tariffs taking effect immediately, a move he's calling "Liberation Day." The announcement is scheduled for 4 p.m. ET at a Rose Garden event called "Make America Wealthy Again." These tariffs target countries with what the U.S. considers unfair trade practices, aiming to protect American industries and address trade imbalances. The White House believes these measures will create a fairer global market for U.S. businesses as part of Trump's broader trade strategy ahead of the 2024 election campaign.

Charles Hoskinson, the founder of Cardano, has criticized memecoins, stating that 99% of them are unsustainable and designed for insiders to profit. He argues that these tokens lack a solid ecosystem and drain liquidity from the broader cryptocurrency market without providing real value. Hoskinson suggests that Bitcoin DeFi and real-world asset digitalization offer more sustainable value. Cathie Wood of ARK Invest echoed similar concerns, warning that many memecoins will become worthless and urged investors to be cautious due to a lack of regulation and utility. Data from Dune Analytics shows that memecoin use has declined significantly since January, and the market capitalization of Solana's top memecoins has dropped by over 85% from its yearly high, with tokens like TRUMP, BONK, and others experiencing significant declines due to low investor confidence.
