Bitcoin's Profit/Loss Ratio Just Flipped Positive. Here's What That Means




 For the first time since January 2026, Bitcoin's realized profit/loss ratio has turned positive on a weekly basis. The 7-day moving average reading now sits at 2.9, meaning realized profits are more than twice as large as realized losses across the network. That is a shift worth paying attention to.

On-chain data platform CryptoQuant tracks this metric continuously. When the ratio drops below 1, losses dominate and seller behavior is driven by fear or capitulation. When it climbs above 1, the dynamic flips. Holders start booking gains rather than cutting positions at a loss. Historically, this transition correlates with improving confidence and more stable price behavior.

From January through April, losses were the story. The chart was consistently in negative territory. The move to 2.9 is not extreme, it is not the kind of spike that signals a market top, but it does mark the end of a stretch where the data had been uniformly bearish on this measure.

There is a catch. On the technical side, Bitcoin's 4-hour parallel channel has broken down. The support that held BTC in an upward structure has flipped into resistance. The key level right now is $80,000. If Bitcoin reclaims and holds that level, the next target sits around $84,000. If it fails, the mid-$70Ks become the likely destination.

Two signals, pulling in different directions at the same time. That is what makes this moment interesting for anyone watching the BTC price closely.

The full breakdown, including the Fibonacci levels, the CryptoQuant chart, and the on-chain context behind the profit/loss ratio reading, is covered in detail over at CryptoNewsLive.

Ripple Is Building XRPL's Defense Against Quantum Computing, and the Clock Is Already Running

Image
  Ripple has released a detailed plan to protect the XRP Ledger from quantum computing threats, and the timeline it has set is not aspirational. The target is full post-quantum cryptography readiness by 2028, with active work already underway in 2026. The roadmap runs four phases. The first is an emergency contingency for a scenario where quantum computers break classical cryptography ahead of schedule. Ripple calls this Q-Day readiness. In that scenario, the XRP Ledger would enforce a hard network shift, stopping classical public-key signatures and requiring users to migrate to quantum-safe accounts. The second and third phases cover 2026. Testing begins on NIST-recommended post-quantum algorithms under real XRPL workload conditions. Performance, storage, and bandwidth costs all get measured. Then hybrid deployment begins on Devnet, running quantum-resistant signatures alongside existing ones before anything touches the live network. Project Eleven, an organization working on cr...

Hoskinson Just Said Everything Nobody Else Will Say About Crypto in 2026

Image
  Charles Hoskinson spent over an hour on the O Show with host Wendo in April 2026 and covered ground that most crypto founders avoid in public interviews. The Midnight Network mainnet went live on March 31 with nine institutional node operators including Google Cloud, MoneyGram, Worldpay, Telegram, Vodafone's Pairpoint, eToro, Bullish, Blockdaemon, and Shielded Technologies. That alone is a headline. But it was not the most important thing he said. The AI agent argument is where this interview breaks from the usual. His position is that zero-knowledge proofs are not primarily a privacy feature. They are the only mechanism by which AI agents can verify each other's behavior. When an autonomous agent is managing your funds across multiple blockchains while you sleep, it needs mathematical proof infrastructure underneath it to constrain what it can do, protect your data without exposing it, and settle value in real time without a middleman. Midnight is being built for that future...

: KelpDAO's $292M Bridge Hack Just Broke Aave and Locked Real Lenders Out

Image
  On April 18, 2026, a single forged message on a cross-chain bridge became 2026's largest DeFi exploit. Someone called the lzReceive function on LayerZero's EndpointV2 contract, tricked KelpDAO's bridge into accepting it as a legitimate transfer, and walked away with 116,500 rsETH worth $292 million. That was 18% of rsETH's entire circulating supply, minted on Ethereum mainnet with nothing backing it. The attacker did not stop at the theft. The stolen rsETH went straight into Aave V3 as collateral, and against it, the attacker borrowed approximately $236 million in wrapped ETH. Real funds, borrowed against tokens that had just been fraudulently minted. Aave was left with roughly $280 million in bad debt, frozen rsETH markets on both V3 and V4, and an ETH utilization rate that hit 100%. That last number matters more than it sounds. When ETH utilization on Aave reaches 100%, lenders cannot withdraw. Real WETH suppliers, people who had deposited ETH into Aave's len...
