Crypto attorney James Murphy, also known on X as MetaLawMan, just filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Homeland Security in Washington, D.C., demanding the release of information that could expose the true identity of Satoshi Nakamoto, the unknown figure behind Bitcoin, according to a report by Crypto In America. James filed the case in D.C. District Court with the help of Brian Field, a former Assistant U.S. Attorney who now focuses on Freedom of Information Act cases. The target is a 2019 public statement made by Rana Saoud, a DHS Special Agent, who claimed during a conference that the U.S. government had already figured out who created Bitcoin. Rana said the creator wasn’t one person but four individuals, and claimed they were all interviewed by DHS agents in California, where they explained what Bitcoin was and why they made it. James wants the government to release the identities of those four people. He believes if the U.S. has that kind of information, it shouldn’t be kept secret. “If the government does indeed have this information, as the DHS Special Agent has claimed, it should not be withheld from the public,” James reportedly said in a statement to Crypto In America. James pointed out that Bitcoin’s global impact makes this information a public issue, not just a government secret. The lawsuit zeroes in on that 2019 DHS presentation. Rana’s exact words from the event are referenced in the case. She claimed the agency had both identified and located the creators of Bitcoin, had interviewed them in California, and had heard directly from them about the development and reasons behind it. Despite that claim, DHS has never publicly confirmed those interviews or revealed any of the names. James says he’s hoping for cooperation under the current Trump administration, which promised more openness from federal agencies. He’s appealing to DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, saying she could choose to hand over the information now, without dragging the case through a long court process. “My hope is that Secretary Noem will embrace transparency in this instance and share this information voluntarily,” James said. “However, if she does not, we are prepared to pursue this litigation as far as necessary to solve this mystery.” He made it clear he’s willing to go the distance to get the answer. James is not the first to try and uncover who Satoshi is, but this time it’s a legal fight, not just speculation or online theories. Some in the crypto community have supported the effort, while others believe finding out who Satoshi is could destroy the appeal of Bitcoin—which was built to be free from central control. The community remains split. Some believe knowing Satoshi’s identity would bring clarity, while others say it could threaten Bitcoin’s decentralized status. If these four creators are real, still alive, and have access to early wallets or private keys, then a major chunk of Bitcoin could technically be controlled. That would punch a hole in everything Bitcoin was supposed to stand for. Cryptopolitan Academy: Coming Soon - A New Way to Earn Passive Income with DeFi in 2025. Learn More

After reaching a new all-time high at the beginning of the year, Bitcoin has recorded a drop of over 15% in the first quarter of 2025. This situation raises concerns among many short-term investors who are leaving the market with significant losses, comparable to those observed during the FTX collapse. Bitcoin traders are currently selling their assets at loss levels never seen since the resounding collapse of FTX . On-chain analyst Darkfost revealed this alarming trend on platform X, sharing concerning data on the behavior of Bitcoin holders. Since early February 2025, investors holding Bitcoin for one to three months (categorized as short-term holders) are massively disposing of their assets, thus accepting significant losses. These rushed sales have reached a scale that surpasses even the correction periods of 2024. The indicator of profit/loss margin, which measures the profitability of positions by comparing the purchase price to the current price, shows a drastic decline for this category of investors. This metric allows us to quantify the magnitude of unrealized profits or losses in the market, and its current level signals strong selling pressure. Massive capitulation periods from short-term holders have historically preceded significant phases of Bitcoin price increases. This phenomenon can be explained by a transfer of assets from “weak hands” (easily shaken investors) to “strong hands” (more convinced long-term investors). Currently, despite this wave of selling at a loss, long-term holders continue to accumulate Bitcoins. This behavioral divergence between the two categories of investors is often interpreted as a preliminary signal of a future price increase. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading around $76,200, down nearly 10% in the last 24 hours. CoinMarketCap data indicates that the entire cryptocurrency market is suffering, with even greater losses for altcoins. The market is currently going through a decisive turning point. This massive capitulation of short-term investors could, as in the past, signal a coming rebound for Bitcoin. An even more relevant signal as whales have recently resumed their purchases for the first time since August 2024, despite a decline that now reaches nearly 30% from the all-time high of $109,000. Key factors to watch: the evolution of behavior among institutional investors and announcements from the Trump administration, whose recent protectionist measures have already triggered the liquidation of $1.3 billion in positions within 24 hours, causing BTC to fall below the symbolic barrier of $80,000, an event that shook the crypto market .

What if Bitcoin was about to rewrite history… alone? While stock markets plummet in free fall and gold takes a pause after its last glow, the first cryptocurrency proudly holds its head high. It no longer clings to the wheel of its elders. No. It gallops ahead. A phenomenon that some already describe as the great decoupling. A new era where Bitcoin no longer follows anyone, not even gold. And in the distance, like a star in the sky of financial imagination: 100,000 dollars. Analyst fantasy? Leap of faith? Or simply the logical continuation of a scenario already written… The scenario could have looked like a remake of 2020: shocking announcement from the White House, panic in the markets , massive sell-off of risky assets. And yet… Bitcoin held strong. While American stock markets were down 10.65% and gold, despite a historic peak of $3,167, was down 4.8%, BTC climbed 4.5%, once again crossing the $84,700 mark. On X, James Seyffart is astonished: I am really a bit shocked by Bitcoin’s resilience. I never believed it would hold above $80,000 in such a massive sell-off of risky assets… Even gold is down? The same sentiment is echoed by Crypto Rover, who exclaims: American stocks are crashing. Gold is crashing. Bitcoin is rising. An incredible force! This is where enters an old couple from the financial world: gold and Bitcoin. The famous “gold leads, Bitcoin follows“, a theory that has returned like an obsessive refrain among analysts. What if history were to repeat itself? In 2019 already, gold rose by 15%… before the Bitcoin price exploded by +170%. This time, some, like MacroScope, see in a return to 100K “a strong signal that a new long-term movement is underway“. A passing of the torch. A rite of passage. The mythical barrier of $100,000 is no longer just a shiny number that dazzles in the dreams of maximalists. It’s a milestone, a signal. For some, crossing it would mark the beginning of a new long-term cycle, a cycle where Bitcoin definitively emancipates itself from its status as an alternative asset to become… an obvious choice. But beware of the sirens. The BTC/XAU ratio, which measures Bitcoin’s strength against gold, shows a bearish fractal, identical to the one that preceded a massive drop in 2021. If the scenario repeats itself, a correction towards $65,000, even $20,000, is not excluded. Yes, even in this golden dream, the ground can shift beneath our feet. And as if that weren’t enough, the economic horizon remains turbulent: the Fed curbs enthusiasm, pushes back hopes for rate cuts, while Donald Trump raises the threat of a global trade war. So, dream or reality, is this threshold of $100,000? One thing is certain: Bitcoin is in the process of inventing its own grammar. It writes its score against the clock. And while indexes stumble, precious metals hesitate, it carves its path towards the unknown, altitude, audacity. For Arthur Hayes, this rising tension orchestrated by Trump could well become the very essence of a new bullish cycle: “ the tariffs will propel gold and Bitcoin to new heights.” The best may still be to come.

The sudden calm that falls on a network as active as XRP is never insignificant. After a spectacular rally at the end of 2024, Ripple’s blockchain is experiencing a steep decline in its activity. This retreat of 65% in just a few weeks is not merely a simple adjustment. It reveals a worrying loss of momentum and raises concerns about the market’s solidity. Behind the numbers, it is an entire speculative dynamic that seems to be faltering. On January 16, 2025, the XRP network recorded 63,389 active addresses in a single day, according to data from CryptoQuant. Barely two and a half months later, on April 3, this figure had dropped to 22,859 addresses, marking a spectacular decline of 65%. This sudden drop marks a sharp break with the euphoric period observed between November 2024 and mid-January 2025, where network activity had surged by 432.6%, driven by a wave of speculative optimism. Indeed, this period “followed a cycle of intense speculative interest” motivated by the anticipation “of a pro-crypto presidency” likely to favor Ripple. The signals of cooling are multiple and converging. Here are the main ones: This decrease in on-chain activity reveals a widespread retreat of interest in XRP in the short term. It is not solely explained by external factors, but also by the internal structure of the market itself, which seems to have been overheated during the year-end rally. Beyond the drop in activity, another indicator deserves attention: the structure of capital investment. According to data from Glassnode , the realized capitalization of XRP surged from $30.1 billion to $64.2 billion in just six months. However, more than 62.8% of this capitalization is now held by investors who bought their XRP crypto during this narrow window of speculation between November 2024 and January 2025. In other words, a majority of current holders have invested at relatively high price levels. This recent concentration of wealth creates a risk of fragility. In the event of a prolonged correction or a sudden drop in price, these investors, having a high average purchase cost, are likely to liquidate their positions quickly. This could fuel cascading sell-offs, which would accelerate price declines and exacerbate volatility. Such a phenomenon is even more likely as these new entrants are mostly individual investors, less experienced and more reactive to fear or frustration. The implications of this dynamic are numerous. Firstly, the XRP market becomes mechanically more unstable, as it relies on a base of crypto investors with low resilience. Secondly, any attempt at recovery could be hampered by persistent selling pressure, as current holders look to disengage without loss. Finally, this situation raises questions about the sustainability of Ripple ‘s growth model. Without solid fundamentals or concrete adoption, a return to stability could require much more than a simple technical rebound.

Since Ripple’s inception, its innovativeness in fin-tech has been centralized around augmenting global payments. In the referential talk by SMQKE , Marcus Treacher, the ex-head of the Ripple tech team, shed more light on the company’s consistent and long-standing position about ISO 20022 —a standard that could potentially be the next big thing in global financial messaging. SMQKE has also pointed out that the ISO 20022 protocol, which enables data to be shared among financial systems without any interruptions, appeared in 2004—the year of Ripple’s establishment. This parallelism, as argued by SMQKE, is something worthy of citation. As other companies are still trying to adopt the new compliance framework, Ripple has never ceased to make everything ready for compliance from the beginning till now. “We’ve always had a real focus on removing all that friction,” Treacher said, emphasizing the company’s intent from the beginning. RippleNet, established in 2016 and 2017, was a direct response of Ripple to the fragmented condition of the market of cross-border transactions. It took on a logical supervision layer, which was a good fit for the ISO 20022’s call for uniform, enriched financial messaging. RippleNet was always focused on and prioritized the accuracy and complement of the data parallel to the payments it handled. Each traditional SWIFT and TIPS network is still using old messages that they operate with. Ripple, in turn, migrated to the new standard with compatibility in mind. Despite this, the U.S. Federal Reserve is not free of the problem with the old infrastructure. ISO 20022 is a standard that addresses these issues, and Ripple has not only accepted the transformation but has also welcomed the shift. Treacher emphasized that Ripple’s idea was more of making the process of moving across borders simple, better than anything to a certain technology. At first, XRP was used for liquidity provision between different fiat currencies, and then later, its role was taken by the Interledger Protocol , which was faster for fiat-to-fiat transactions. Pegah Soltani, Ripple’s Head of Payments Products, echoed this focus in a separate interview shared by SMQKE. She described ISO 20022 as a global standard that boosts competition, encourages innovation, and delivers better data within each transaction. Her comments underscore Ripple’s broader ambition to not just be compliant—but influential. After protocol integration, Ripple’s advancement didn’t come to a standstill. As an example, RLUSD, a dollar-backed stablecoin, was brought to the Ripple Payments system by the company in April 2025. The coin, which was released just the past December, has a market capitalization of $250 million. Still, not everything has been smooth sailing. XRP, Ripple native token, is 5.25% surge amidst the President Donald Trump announced a new wave of tariffs, triggering market-wide concerns.
