The new SEC chairman’s first official speech on cryptocurrencies

The new SEC chairman, Mr. Paul Atkins, spoke at the Digital Currency Roundtable held on April 25.

Mr. Atkins, who was recently appointed as the SEC chairman, attended the roundtable along with members of the Crypto Task Force. The main focus of the meeting was on issues related to the custody of digital assets and the creation of legal frameworks for them.

Atkins, the new SEC chairman, spoke about the enormous benefits of blockchain technology in terms of efficiency, risk reduction, transparency and cost reduction. He emphasized that his goal at the SEC is to create “transparent regulatory rules” for digital assets, noting that the previous SEC administration under Gary Gensler had fostered market and regulatory uncertainty.

Riot Platforms has secured a $100 million credit facility from Coinbase Credit, a subsidiary of Coinbase Global, Inc. The credit facility, Riot's first bitcoin-backed facility, will provide the company with non-dilutive funding at an attractive financing cost.

Key Points:

Purpose: Riot intends to use the proceeds from the credit facility for strategic initiatives and general corporate purposes.
Terms: The loan has a variable annual interest rate of at least 7.75%, calculated as the greater of 3.25% or the federal funds rate upper bound, plus 4.5%. It will mature 364 days after the effective date, with a possible one-year extension subject to Coinbase's consent.

Collateral: The loan is secured by a portion of Riot's total bitcoin holdings. As of April 2025, Riot held 19,223 BTC, valued at approximately $1.8 billion.

Strategic Importance: The credit facility is a key part of Riot's efforts to diversify funding sources, support operations, and pursue strategic growth initiatives, with a focus on long-term stockholder value creation.

Market Reaction: Following the announcement, shares of Riot Platforms (RIOT) rose more than 8% on April 23, amid a broad rally for Bitcoin miners and the overall stock market.

The crypto seas just trembled—a $6.6 BILLION Bitcoin whale has stirred after years of dormancy. When these leviathans move, they don’t just make ripples… they create tidal waves across the market.

But who is this whale? Why now? And what could this mean for Bitcoin's next move? Let’s dive into this breaking development that has every trader, analyst, and HODLer watching closely.

🧠 The Awakening: 94,500 BTC Moved After 5+ Years

On-chain analysts confirmed a jaw-dropping transaction: a wallet containing 94,500 BTC—worth roughly $6.6 billion—moved funds for the first time since 2019. That’s pre-pandemic Bitcoin, bought at a fraction of today’s price.

This isn't your average whale.

This is a legacy address, possibly tied to early miners, institutions, or even an exchange cold wallet. But the timing and scale are what's making jaws drop.

Whether it's reallocation, institutional movement, or prep for ETF flows, one thing’s clear: the giants of crypto are waking up... and they’re not swimming quietly.

From Pensions to Crypto: The Bold New Frontier of Retirement Investing

Pension funds are increasingly exploring investments in cryptocurrencies, particularly Bitcoin, as part of their diversification and growth strategies. This trend is evident across several countries:

United States: The Michigan State Retirement Fund invested approximately $6.6 million in the ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF in July 2024. Similarly, the State of Wisconsin Investment Board holds significant positions in the iShares Bitcoin Trust and the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust. Jersey City's pension fund is also considering similar allocations.

Japan: The Government Pension Investment Fund (GPIF), the world's largest pension fund, is exploring Bitcoin as a potential diversification tool. In March 2024, GPIF initiated a five-year research plan to assess innovative investment strategies, including cryptocurrencies.

Norway: The Norwegian Government Pension Fund has invested indirectly in #cryptocurrencies by holding shares in companies like MicroStrategy, MARA (formerly Marathon Digital), Coinbase, and Block Inc., which have Bitcoin on their balance sheets. Analysts estimate that the Norwegian fund indirectly owns over 2,440 BTC.

Australia: In May 2024, AMP, one of Australia's largest pension funds, invested $27 million in Bitcoin, marking it as the first major Australian pension fund to adopt digital assets. This investment represents a modest 0.05% of AMP's $57 billion assets under management.

-What is Bitcoin?
Bitcoin was the first decentralized digital currency based on the blockchain technology. It was created in 2008 by an anonymous programmer known as Satoshi Nakamoto, who released the white paper in a cryptography mailing list and later open sourced the software that implements the protocol.

-How does Bitcoin work & where can I get a bitcoin wallet?
Bitcoin is software that runs on a number of distributed devices ranging from smartphones as mobile wallets, PCs as desktop wallets, to ASIC for mining. Transactions are relayed between nodes in a peer-to-peer fashion. In a few seconds a given block will be propagated to all other nodes on the network. While insuring that all nodes reach consensus on which are the valid blocks. The process of supplying new coins in the system is done via the process of mining. The mining software runs on specialized hardware and it tries to compute the hash of assembled transaction and a number called the nonce.

-What are the features of Bitcoin?
Store Of Value
Bitcoin, unlike other cryptocurrencies is considered as a store of value and is said to be the next global reserve currency in years to come.

-Gateway To Digital Currency World
Bitcoin is considered as gateway to the cryptocurrencies world, based on its based status being the originator and first successful experiment on digital currency.

🚨🚨🚨 New Cryptojacking Malware MassJacker Targets Cryptocurrency Transactions

A new type of crypto-jacking malware known as MassJacker is targeting users who download pirated software. The malware hijacks #cryptocurrency transactions by replacing stored addresses. The malware originates from the website pesktop[dot]com, where unsuspecting users may inadvertently infect their devices. Once installed, MassJacker swaps out crypto addresses stored on the clipboard application for those controlled by the attacker.

CyberArk reports that 778,531 unique wallets are linked to the theft, with only 423 holding crypto assets, totaling approximately $336,700 as of August. Notably, one wallet contained over 600 Solana (SOL) worth around $87,000 and had a history of holding NFTs like Gorilla Reborn and Susanoo. An analysis revealed 1,184 transactions since March 11, 2022, and the wallet's owner engaged in decentralized finance activities in November 2024, swapping tokens such as Jupiter (JUP), Uniswap (UNI), USDC, and Raydium (RAY).

Cryptocurrency malware has been around since Coinhive released the first cryptojacking script in 2017. In February 2025, Kaspersky Labs found malware in app-making kits for Android and iOS that could scan images for crypto seed phrases. In October 2024, Checkmarx discovered crypto-stealing malware in the Python Package Index. Other malware has also targeted macOS devices.

BREAKING: White House Rejects Cryptocurrency Transaction Tax Proposal

David Sacks, the White House crypto and AI czar, has rejected the idea of taxing every cryptocurrency transaction to strengthen the U.S. strategic Bitcoin reserve and digital asset holdings.
On a recent episode of the All In podcast, host Jason Calacanis proposed a 0.01% tax on each crypto transaction, to be paid in the asset being transferred, purchased, or sold.
Sacks expressed doubts, pointing out that taxes often begin small but tend to grow over time. He cited the U.S. income tax, which started with a limited scope but later expanded to affect far more people.
Sacks voiced concerns about the potential strain of new taxes, even if they’re initially presented as minor. Crypto investors also criticized the idea, especially the prospect of taxing transfers between wallets owned by the same person.

The White House Crypto Summit held recently didn’t delve into specific tax proposals, though the Trump administration has signaled interest in broad federal tax reform.
President Donald Trump has floated the idea of abolishing the federal income tax, favoring tariffs on imported goods as a revenue source instead. He highlighted the 19th century, when tariffs alone funded the U.S. government, as a time of notable economic success. U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick backed this plan, proposing to replace the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) with an 'External Revenue Service.'
