ME News reported that on April 1 (UTC+8), Ethereum Foundation researcher Ladislaus von Daniels introduced the zkAttester client solution at EthCC[9]. He said today's Ethereum nodes are constrained by the heavy compute cost of re-executing blocks. With zkAttester, validators can verify zero-knowledge proofs directly without replaying every transaction in a block, sharply lowering CPU requirements and enabling consumer-grade hardware to take part in network validation. Removing re-execution is expected to cut new node sync times from days or hours to minutes. Ladislaus added that the approach closely matches Ethereum's "The Verge" roadmap milestone, which aims to replace compute-intensive verification with ZK-SNARKs so lightweight validation becomes possible even on mobile devices, ultimately improving L1 scalability and decentralization.

The Uniswap Foundation has published an unaudited financial summary covering its position as of Dec. 31, 2025, according to Huoxing Finance. By year-end 2025, the Foundation reported $49.9 million in cash and stablecoins, plus holdings of 15.1 million UNI tokens and 240 ETH.

It additionally recorded $1.7 million in interest income from its fiat holdings.

April 1 — Hyperinsight data shows the "Silver Ironhead Air Force" whale opened a 20x leveraged short in ETH at an average entry of $2,136. The position totals 9,353 ETH, worth about $19.92 million, with unrealized gains of roughly $60,000. The address has also placed limit sell orders between $2,180 and $2,300, aiming to scale into an additional ~$20 million of shorts in tranches if ETH trades into that range. If filled, combined exposure across both rounds would approach $40 million.

WhiteBIT Coin (WBT), the exchange token of WhiteBIT, has climbed to a $15 billion market capitalization, CoinDesk reported. The milestone represents a roughly 50% jump from its prior $10 billion valuation and puts WBT among CoinDesk's ten largest tokens by market cap. The rally comes as WhiteBIT advances both its token design and its broader international expansion. WBT is built around a deflationary framework that pairs recurring buyback-and-burn activity, funded by a portion of trading fees, with scheduled token unlocks intended to support ecosystem development. On March 13, WhiteBIT unlocked more than 39 million WBT tokens worth about $1.19 billion. The company said the tokens were allocated to WhiteBIT Funds rather than distributed into the open market, a structure aimed at reducing near-term selling pressure while keeping resources available for future initiatives. Market access has also widened. WBT was recently listed on Kraken, adding WBT/EUR and WBT/USD pairs and expanding availability for new users and institutional participants, while improving liquidity and price discovery. In December 2025, WBT was added to the S&P 5 crypto indices by S&P Dow Jones Indices, a step that increases its visibility in traditional markets and among institutional investors. WhiteBIT is also pushing further into new jurisdictions. The company recently entered Ghana via a regulatory sandbox initiative developed with local authorities, positioning it among firms helping shape regulated digital-asset markets in the region. Within the WhiteBIT ecosystem, WBT is used for functions including trading fee discounts, access to launchpad opportunities, and participation across platform products. "Reaching a $15 billion market capitalization reflects the consistent development of our ecosystem and the trust of our global community," said Volodymyr Nosov, Founder and President of W Group, which includes WhiteBIT. "We are focused on building long-term value through compliance, innovation, and global expansion, ensuring that WBT remains a key pillar of the digital financial infrastructure we are developing." As WhiteBIT expands across trading, payments, blockchain infrastructure, and institutional services, WBT is taking on a more central role within the company's ecosystem. Featured image via WhiteBit.

SBI Holdings' digital asset trading arm B2C2 has designated Solana as its primary network for stablecoin activity serving institutional clients.

Aave (AAVE) has lost the $100 support level, with selling pressure dragging the token to a three-week low near $96. AAVE was last trading around $97, down 7.7% on the day, while its market capitalization shed more than $200 million as bears took control. The decline comes as short-term moving averages failed to provide a floor. AAVE slipped below the 9-day and 21-day moving averages, underscoring persistent downside momentum. Bulls-vs-bears readings have also flipped negative after staying positive for over a month. Exchange data points to sustained distribution. About 79k AAVE tokens flowed onto exchanges versus 74k withdrawn, and netflow has remained positive for six consecutive days. The Exchange Supply Ratio climbed to a monthly high of 0.137, signaling more tokens available for immediate sale, a setup that typically weakens scarcity and can amplify downward pressure. Momentum indicators remain bearish. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has fallen to 34, nearing oversold territory and indicating limited buyer participation. If current conditions persist, traders are watching $92 as the next likely support zone. A rebound scenario hinges on recapturing $100. For a more convincing trend shift, AAVE would need to move back above the 9-day and 21-day moving averages, currently around $107 and $110. Failure to reclaim these levels could keep AAVE pinned below $100 in the near term. With sellers still in control but oversold signals building, market participants are monitoring exchange flows, moving-average levels, and price action around key support as the next few days determine whether AAVE slides toward $92 or stages a recovery.

On-chain indicators point to a sharp pickup in whale activity for $LINK. CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost reports that the top 10 daily outflow transactions on Binance have doubled, including a day when more than 8,000 LINK was withdrawn. Since mid-February, the monthly average outflows among the top 10 have risen from about 2,000 to roughly 2,600 LINK. Large exchange withdrawals are often interpreted as a sign of easing selling pressure. The increase in LINK outflows comes even as the broader altcoin market remains under heavy strain.

Huoxing Finance reported that Hyperinsight data on April 1 showed the whale address known as \u0022Silver Ironhead Bear\u0022 opened a 20x leveraged short on ETH over the past 30 minutes. The position was built at an average entry of $2,136 for 9,353 ETH, worth about $19.92 million, and is currently showing an unrealized profit of roughly $60,000 (6%). The address has also placed sell orders between $2,180 and $2,300. If ETH trades into that band, it plans to scale into additional shorts totaling about $20 million at higher average prices, aiming to add downside pressure. Combined, the two short tranches could approach $40 million.
