The administrative burden of decoding local tax and compliance rules remains a significant hurdle for businesses wanting to enter overseas markets.

A recent independent survey by Revolut Business found that over a quarter (27%) of UK businesses are held back by the complexity of local regulatory compliance. Revolut’s GlobalHire platform allows firms to bypass the complex process of setting up local entities, while automating taxes and payroll on a single platform integrated into the Revolut Business app.

Alex Codina, general manager of merchant payments and GlobalHire at Revolut, comments: “A business’s ambition shouldn’t be limited by where it is headquartered, nor by local currency barriers. GlobalHire goes beyond recruitment; it’s designed to remove administrative friction to hiring for talent obsessed, global firms, while ensuring CFO’s maintain control over capital and compliance.

“We want businesses globally to have access to the same resources to fuel hyper-growth as Revolut did. Launching GlobalHire is a major milestone in our mission to democratise access to global talent, ensuring that the best companies can hire the best talent, regardless of geography.”

The latest bet from Revolut follows a period of significant momentum for the fintech’s business banking arm, which now serves close to 800,000 global businesses and surpassed £277bn ($365bn) in transaction volumes in 2025.

BTC tests $75,000 ‘structural breakout’ level with $85,000 upside in view

0

Bitcoin shot to a one-month high above $75,000 in early U.S. trading hours on Tuesday, now up 6% over the past 24 hours at $75,300.

The move is drawing increased attention from analysts, who told CoinDesk the level could mark a key shift in the market’s current rangebound structure.

“A clean break above $75,000 wouldn’t just be another move higher; it would represent a structural breakout from consolidation and likely shift the market into a new upward trend,” said Mati Greenspan, founder of Quantum Economics and a former senior market analyst at eToro.

Greenspan said the significance of going beyond the $75,000 level lies less in a brief move about it and more in whether bitcoin can sustain those gains.

“The key question isn’t whether we briefly trade above $75,000, but whether we can hold it,” Greenspan said, noting that acceptance above that threshold would signal strength and draw in new capital.

A downside would be limited anyway

However, he said, a failure to hold would risk turning the move into a bull trap, though the broader market structure remains strong. He also believes that even in a negative scenario, the downside would likely be limited because of existing established support. “If it doesn’t hold, then we still have strong support at $65,000.”

Kevin Murcko, a crypto analyst and founder and CEO at crypto exchange Coinmetro, said round-number levels like $75,000 can act as focal points for market participants and could create supply as investors who recently entered positions look to take profit.

“Traders, especially those that aren’t that experienced, generally trade around round numbers,” Murcko said, adding that levels such as $25,000, $50,000 and $75,000 tend to draw in buying and selling interest.

Whether bitcoin can move decisively beyond that level will depend on the broader backdrop at the time, including the news flow driving markets, Murcko said.

“In most cases, if we see news pushing price to around $75,000, that same momentum can push it past,” Murcko said, emphasizing that price levels alone are less important than the balance between supply and demand and the strength of buying pressure.

BTC could rise to $85,000

Han Tan, chief market analyst at Bybit Learn, said bitcoin is now re-entering a key battleground between bulls and bears, with the $75,000 region acting as a strong resistance in recent weeks.

He believes a meaningful break above that level would draw sidelined buyers back into the market and potentially clear the path upward to the mid-$80,000 level. However, Tan said such gains would likely depend on a supportive macro backdrop, including easing geopolitical tensions and continued ETF inflows.

Other analysts, however, believe $75,000 may be more of a psychological milestone than a genuine structural pivot.

Dessislava Ianeva, an analyst at Nexo Dispatch, said that while a move above $75,000 could draw in momentum buyers, stronger confirmation would come at higher levels.

She said, “$75,000 is psychologically significant, but $79,000 is the level that matters structurally,” pointing to the 100-day moving average and a prior rejection zone. Ianeva also said a sustained move above roughly $74,000 on a daily closing basis would provide an early signal that the breakout has “structural legs.”

The market intelligence research analyst noted that current market positioning appears relatively stable, reducing the likelihood of a sharp reversal. Funding rates remain muted, and bitcoin has absorbed recent selling pressure, including exchange-traded fund (ETF) outflows, without breaking lower, a behaviour that is not typical of a market on the verge of a major pullback.

U.S. Spot bitcoin ETFs did not see inflows until March, when these investment instruments recorded $1.32 billion in net inflows, ending a four-month outflow streak.

Altering how bitcoin behaves

Broader structural changes in the market may also be altering how bitcoin behaves during the current cycle, according to Jason Fernandes, a market analyst and AdLunam co-founder.

“Bitcoin isn’t trading like a purely retail-driven cycle,” Fernandes said, citing persistent ETF inflows, reduced free float and stronger holder cohorts.

Fernandes said that while BTC can still see sharp downside moves during liquidity shocks, it tends to recover based on expectations around central bank policy and liquidity conditions, often ahead of traditional risk assets.

“Rising oil prices and geopolitical stress keep inflation expectations elevated and delay policy easing,” he said. “That tightens financial conditions in the short term, but once real yields roll over or liquidity stabilizes, crypto tends to reprice quickly and generally ahead of traditional risk assets.”

SOL, ADA, DOGE pull back, bitcoin holds above $74,000 as Asia recoups Iran war losses

0

Bitcoin held above $74,000 on Wednesday as a wave of risk appetite swept through global markets, with Asian equities joining Wall Street benchmarks in fully recouping losses sustained since the US-Iran conflict began in late February.

Ether gained 4% on the week to trade near $2,325, outpacing bitcoin’s 3.9% move. Solana dropped 1.5% to $83, Cardano’s ADA fell 1%, while dogecoin fell 1.3% to $0.093. Tron bucked the trend with a 3% weekly gain.

China’s CSI 300 became the latest gauge to fully erase war-related declines, joining Taiwan and Singapore. The S&P 500 is closing in on its record high from late January.

Optimism that the US and Iran will enter a second round of talks in the coming days has kept crude oil below $100 a barrel, easing the inflationary overhang that weighed on markets through March.

The current bitcoin price sits near the estimated average entry price for holders of U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs, a level that could act as a floor rather than a ceiling. Investors who held through the drawdown below $60,000 have little incentive to sell at breakeven, removing a layer of potential overhead supply.

U.S. spot ETFs posted $471 million in net inflows on April 6, their strongest single-day intake since February, pushing cumulative inflows past $56 billion since the products launched in January 2024 – a move some watchers say is reflective of bullish market structure.

“This is bullish for adoption even though it’s no self-custody,” said Vikrant Sharma, founder of CakeWallet.

“Institutions pouring in $471 million in a single day and pushing past $56 billion cumulative means bitcoin is getting a whole new class of long-term holders. Self-custody wallets selling off is just natural profit-taking, but the fact that it’s not leading to price collapse is a very bullish sign,” he added.

Market participants are also pricing in the possibility of Federal Reserve rate cuts later this year, a development that would channel additional liquidity into risk assets after months of range-bound trading.

What next as Ether/bitcoin ratio bounces from 2026 lows

0

A closely watched gauge of ether’s relative strength against bitcoin has climbed to a three month high, backed by surging network activity and record stablecoin inflows on Ethereum.

The ether-bitcoin ratio traded near 0.0313 on Wednesday, up from a 2026 low around 0.028 in February but still well below the January 18 high near 0.038. Ether gained 4% over the past seven days to trade near $2,325, outpacing bitcoin’s 3.9% move over the same period.

The ETH/BTC ratio tracks the relative price of ether against bitcoin on crypto exchanges and is one of the most widely followed gauges of risk appetite across the digital asset market.

A rising ratio signals that capital is flowing into ether and, by extension, riskier parts of the crypto ecosystem. A falling ratio points to a preference for bitcoin’s relative safety.

The pair peaked above 0.08 in late 2021 before entering a prolonged decline that accelerated through 2024 and into 2025, dragged lower by bitcoin ETF-driven demand, weakened fee revenue on Ethereum’s base layer following the Dencun upgrade, and a broader rotation away from altcoins.

When ether outperforms bitcoin on risk-on days rather than simply tagging along, it historically suggests capital is beginning to rotate rather than chase the same trade. The signal strengthens if ether holds up better than bitcoin during the next pullback.

Part of the case for a sustained move rests on Ethereum’s on-chain fundamentals, which have been diverging from the token’s depressed valuation.

New users on the network surged 82% quarter-over-quarter in Q1 to 284,000, according to data from Artemis, while total transactions hit a record 200.4 million for the quarter, a 43% increase from the prior period.

Stablecoin supply on Ethereum also reached an all-time high of $180 billion, up 150% over the past three years, per Token Terminal. The network holds roughly 60% of the global stablecoin market, reinforcing its dominance as the primary settlement layer for tokenized dollars and suggesting a long-term demand anchor for ETH even as short-term price action lags.

However, ether is still more than 50% below its 52-week high of $4,831, and the ratio would need to reclaim the 0.035 zone on a weekly close to provide evidence that the recovery has legs beyond a short-squeeze bounce.

Bitcoin Price Roars Past $76,000 As Short Squeeze Continues

0

Bitcoin price surged past $76,000 on Tuesday, hitting a four-week high and marking its strongest price move in weeks as a combination of geopolitical optimism, forced short liquidations, and institutional buying pressure drove the rally.

The move began building in the evening of April 13, when bitcoin broke through a dense cluster of leveraged short positions sitting between a bitcoin price of $72,000 and $73,500. Once that resistance cracked, short liquidations became the accelerant. 

Over a 24-hour period, roughly $425 million in leveraged short positions in Bitcoin and Ether were wiped out, with 177,000 traders liquidated for a combined $530 million, according to CoinGlass data.

Analysts had flagged this setup ahead of time. Options market data from Deribit showed dealers concentrated in “negative gamma” near $75,000 — a positioning condition where market makers are forced to buy into rising prices and sell into falling ones. Rather than a traditional support or resistance zone, the $75,000 level acted as a volatility release point, with dealer hedging flows turbocharging the upside move.

Iran ceasefire hopes fuel risk assets like bitcoin price

The geopolitical backdrop shifted in a meaningful way on Tuesday as reports emerged suggesting the Trump administration and Iran were moving toward a deal. 

A U.S. naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, which had pressured oil prices above $100 per barrel and weighed on risk assets for weeks, showed signs of easing. 

Strategy’s machine keeps running

Institutional demand added fuel to the move. Strategy’s STRC at-the-market preferred stock program recorded more than $1 billion in single-day trading volume on April 13, with all activity occurring above the $100 par value required to trigger share issuance. 

According to Bitcoin for Corporations tracker estimates, the volume generated $796 million in proceeds — enough to fund the purchase of an estimated 10,834 BTC at an average price near $73,400. That figure represents more than 24 times the daily Bitcoin mining supply following the most recent halving.

The STRC program has now generated over $3.5 billion in total proceeds to date. Strategy holds about 780,897 BTC, acquired at a total cost of roughly $59 billion, cementing its position as the largest corporate Bitcoin holder on the planet.

At the time of writing, shares of Strategy are up over 8% on the day near $143 a share. 

The next resistance band for the bitcoin price sits between $80,000 and $80,600, where positive dealer gamma positioning could act as a brake on momentum. The 200-day moving average stands near a bitcoin price of $87,500, the threshold to watch as confirmation of a true long-term trend reversal.

At the time of writing, the bitcoin price is back down near $75,000.

Bitcoin Moves Past Halfway Point In Halving Cycle As Supply Tightens Toward 2028

0

Bitcoin is moving deeper into its current halving cycle, with the network now past the midpoint as the next supply cut approaches in 2028.

The next halving is expected in mid-April 2028 at block height 1,050,000, according to Bitcoin Magazine Pro data. Roughly 105,000 blocks remain in the current cycle, placing the network just over halfway through what is known as epoch five, which began after the April 2024 halving.

Bitcoin halvings occur every 210,000 blocks and reduce miner rewards by half, tightening the flow of new supply. Miners currently receive 3.125 BTC per block, a figure that will fall to about 1.562 BTC after the next event. Daily issuance will decline from around 450 BTC to near 225 BTC, reinforcing bitcoin’s fixed supply model capped at 21 million coins.

The mechanism has long supported bitcoin’s scarcity narrative. Previous halvings in 2012, 2016, 2020 and 2024 preceded major price expansions as reduced issuance met sustained demand. This cycle, however, is showing a different pattern.

Bitcoin has gained about 15% since the April 2024 halving, rising from near $64,000 to around $74,000. The asset reached a peak near $126,000 in October 2025 before falling to about $60,000 in February. The current cycle reflects slower gains compared with prior periods, a trend often linked to BTC’s growing market size and broader adoption.

Larger capital inflows are now required to drive price movements, contributing to reduced volatility and more measured trends. Institutional participation continues to shape market structure, with spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds drawing significant inflows.

Recent price action has also been driven by derivatives activity. BTC climbed from about $70,700 to above $76,000 within roughly two days, as liquidations of leveraged short positions accelerated upward momentum. Around $225 million in positions were wiped out during the move.

At the same time, miners face pressure as block rewards decline. Lower issuance may compress margins, pushing operators to depend more on transaction fees and scale.

Bitcoin miners are pivoting to AI

Bitcoin miners are pivoting toward artificial intelligence as profitability in core mining operations deteriorates. Following the 2024 halving, block rewards were cut in half while energy, cooling, and hardware costs remained elevated, compressing margins across the industry.

In response, miners are repurposing their existing infrastructure — power-heavy data centers, cooling systems, and land — into high-performance computing hubs for AI workloads. This shift allows them to tap into more stable, long-term revenue streams tied to the surging demand for AI training and inference.

Companies like TeraWulf and Core Scientific have already secured multi-billion-dollar AI hosting agreements, while others are reallocating capital away from BTC holdings to fund data center buildouts.

WealthArc Launches AI Agent to Turn Alternative Data and Documents Into AI-Ready Investment Data

0

WealthArc today announced the launch of its new AI Agent, designed to automatically interpret financial documents such as account statements, portfolio reports, and private market investment documents and convert them into structured investment data available within the company’s global data infrastructure service.

The launch reflects a broader shift across the wealth management industry as firms seek to adopt artificial intelligence across investment operations and client servicing.

Before AI can automate workflows, generate insights or support investment decisions, firms must first solve a harder problem: a reliable data layer to clean, reconciled portfolio data across custodians, currencies and reporting systems. 

Wealth managers frequently receive portfolio information and alternative investment data through PDFs, spreadsheets or proprietary reporting formats. Before the information can be used for reporting or analysis, teams often spend hours manually extracting and reconciling the data.

Artur Kluz, CEO of WealthArc, said the real opportunity for AI in wealth management lies in solving these underlying data challenges: “AI won’t replace advisers, rather equip them with deep knowledge and flexible workflows. The real barrier to AI adoption in wealth management isn’t the models themselves but turning fragmented financial data into reliable, structured data.”

Turning financial data into structured investment data

WealthArc’s AI Agent enables firms to upload financial documents in a wide variety of formats and automatically transform the information they contain into structured portfolio data.

Examples of documents the AI Agent can process already include:

  • Custodian account statements

  • Private markets investment reports

  • Portfolio summaries and capital account statements

  • Investment performance reports

  • Other structured or semi-structured financial documents

Once processed, the extracted information becomes part of the data layer, where portfolio data from multiple custodians, asset classes and currencies is standardized and made available for reporting, analytics and AI-driven workflows to clients.

By automating document interpretation and data extraction, the AI Agent helps reduce the operational effort required to prepare portfolio data for analysis.

Moving beyond traditional automation

Unlike traditional automation tools that rely on fixed templates or predefined document structures, WealthArc’s AI Agent is designed to interpret financial information across documents that vary widely in format, terminology and reporting structure.

The AI-enabled technology analyzes the financial context of the data contained within documents and can highlight potential inconsistencies that require review.

To ensure reliability in financial environments, the AI Agent operates within a human-in-the-loop framework, where suggested interpretations or corrections are reviewed and confirmed by users before being applied to the portfolio dataset.

Radomir Mastalerz, CTO of WealthArc  said this approach is critical when working with financial data across multiple institutions: “Traditional automation works well when documents follow predictable formats, but financial reporting rarely does. Statements from different custodians often use different terminology, structures and assumptions. WealthArc’s AI Agent helps interpret that context and flag potential inconsistencies, while keeping humans in control of the final outcome.”

Building the data infrastructure for AI-driven wealth management

The AI Agent forms part of WealthArc’s broader strategy, continuing to build the data infrastructure and it’s 1000+ new generation global data feeds required for AI-driven wealth management.

At the center of this infrastructure is WealthArc Data Box, a universal multi-custodian and multi-currency data engine that aggregates, reconciles and standardizes portfolio data across wealth management stakeholders including banks, investment managers and family offices.

WealthArc is now working to significantly expand this infrastructure.

“Our goal is to build more than 1,000 next-generation global data feeds in the coming years,” Kluz said. “By expanding this infrastructure, we are building the foundational data layer for the wealth and asset management ecosystem—enabling institutions to scale operations, automate workflows and adopt AI with confidence.”

WealthArc’s services also include automated data processing and monitoring capabilities designed to transform fragmented custodian data into trusted, AI-ready portfolio datasets.

New AI agents roadmap 

The AI Agent represents the next stage in WealthArc’s roadmap to embed AI capabilities directly within investment data workflows powered by WealthArc Data Box.

Future developments will focus on expanding AI agents across:

  • Data feeds development 

  • Data cleaning, validation and quality monitoring 

  • Portfolio reconciliation

  • Multi-custodian data integration

  • Advanced data analytics 

Call for Collaboration

WealthArc invites wealth and asset management institutions—including wealth managers, family offices, private banks, as well as WealthTech and FinTech firms—to collaborate on AI-driven document processing and data integration use cases.

Firms interested in exploring these capabilities are encouraged to engage with the WealthArc team.

The Suit, The Songs, The System

0

Revolutions leave behind artifacts. In August 2022, seven Adams County sheriff’s deputies in Ohio executed a search warrant on the home of Joseph Foreman — better known to the world as Afroman. They found nothing (save the lemon pound cake), and no charges were filed. What followed was a First Amendment masterclass in an American flag suit.

Using footage from his own home surveillance system, Foreman turned a botched raid into songs, videos, and a public record the Ohio deputies could no longer control. The officers later sued him for defamation, emotional distress, and invasion of privacy, claiming the videos ridiculed them and damaged their reputations. In March 2026, a jury ruled in Afroman’s favor. But by then, the videos and songs had grown exponentially beyond anything a courtroom could contain.

Born Joseph Edgar Foreman in Los Angeles, most people still know him from “Because I Got High” — the 2001 breakout hit that made him a household name. But what happened in Ohio revealed something more enduring beneath the comedy: an instinct for turning humiliation into visibility, and visibility into power. In his own telling, the deputies “brought me material.” What they intended as force became fodder. What could have remained a private violation became songs, satire, and evidence.

What unfolded was not just a legal victory. It was protest art in the modern age — raw, low-budget, absurdist, and deeply American. Wearing the flag while defending free speech. Turning ridicule back on the people who expected silence. Alongside Mear One’s Occupy Wall Street murals and Kolin Burges’ Mt. Gox vigil sign, Afroman’s American flag suit belongs to a lineage of cultural objects created when people refuse to let institutions bury the story. That suit will be on display at Bitcoin Conference 2026 in Las Vegas as part of Relics of a Revolution, an exhibition exploring protest art and asymmetric responses to institutional power.

I sat down with Joseph Foreman to talk about the raid, the songs, the verdict, and what it means to turn injustice into art.

BMAG: You testified that “the whole raid was a mistake” and that “all of this is their fault.” Seven deputies with assault rifles found nothing in your home and filed no charges. What was the first thing you did after they left?

Afroman:  I put on my green and white outfit that matches my house and I quickly took a picture of the most damaged part of my house so I could infinitely reflect on the positivity of my mentality. I wanted to show humanity how I was gonna turn a bad situation into a financial good one. So as soon as I got home, I dressed up and I took the picture for the album LEMON POUND CAKE

BMAG: You’ve said that if they hadn’t raided your house, there would be no songs, no lawsuit, and you wouldn’t even know their names. They sued you for defamation over the music you made from their own raid. What do you think they expected you to do instead?

Afroman: They expected me to get bullied like the rest of the small American civilians they bully every day. They weren’t expecting me to stand up to them using my FREEDOM OF SPEECH.

BMAG: “They stormed my home with assault rifles and they want to sue me for cracking jokes?” Why does humor disarm or scare power so much? The songs went viral — you can’t un-laugh or unsee it.

Afroman: They know that if a joke shows how wrong and pathetic they are, it can spread like wildfire through the population. It’s hard for five cowboys to control hundreds of cows that KNOW THEIR RIGHTS. The thought of the hundreds of cows — the American people — unifying and trampling a few cowboys is the worst-case scenario for a crooked government official. So if a joke points out how crooked or wrong a government or law official is, they want to silence you before they lose control over the population, and their jobs.

BMAG: To step back for a moment — what’s going on in Ohio? “Four Dead in Ohio” was fifty years ago and the state is still making headlines for the wrong reasons. Or is that just America?

Afroman:I’m from Los Angeles and Mississippi. You have two types of people in this world — good and bad — and they’re gonna be all over America. They’re gonna be all over the world. Just to put everything in a nutshell: I am a new Ohio immigrant. I don’t know too much of Ohio’s dirty past. All I know is this — BAD PEOPLE ARE NEVER GOING AWAY. Therefore, good people must put things in place that check the bad people. There’s always gonna be a common cold, but humanity is no longer scared of the common cold because when we get the common cold, we have the remedies to treat it. So good people need to have remedies for bad people, no matter what, where, why, or when.

BMAG: After the verdict, you walked out of the courthouse shouting “We did it, America” and “Power to the people.” You said “we” — not “I.” In a country that keeps dividing people into sides, who were you talking to?

Afroman: I WAS TALKING TO THE ENTIRE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. I was talking to all sides. We all almost lost our freedom of speech — and I’m gonna say “we” because people’s hearts and spirits were fighting with me on the internet. People were riding by the courthouse blowing their horns. I didn’t do it by myself. I fought with America. America fought with me. Thanks to that unification, America still has freedom of speech.

BMAG: The suit will be on display at Bitcoin Conference 2026 inside Relics of a Revolution. Claire Salvo painted your portrait on a dollar bill. Songs get pulled. Platforms disappear. Footage gets buried by algorithms. Even the dollar loses its value over time. The suit is the one thing from this story that can’t be deleted or devalued. Now you’ve got a Constitution suit and a Statue of Liberty suit in the works.  When did the suits become part of the art?

Afroman: One time I went to a party — and all of my friends are cool, all my friends dress really cool — and me and my friend almost wore the same suit to the same party. It was that night I decided to go custom. All cool guys shop at the same store, so me and another cool guy, we’re gonna like the same outfit. TO STOP THESE CLOTHING CATASTROPHES, I began ordering, designing, and making custom-made suits.

This is Part III of a three-part interview series accompanying the Relics of a Revolution exhibition. Part I features Kolin Burges, and Part II Mear One.

Fix the money. Fix the world.

Afroman will appear as a main stage speaker and performer at Bitcoin Conference 2026 at The Venetian in Las Vegas, April 27–29. The auction for his American flag suit can be previewed on Scarce.city at scarce.city/auctions/americanflagsuit
