As of April 10, 2026, the total supply of WLD tokens is set at 10 billion, with 4.9 billion tokens, or 49%, already unlocked, and approximately 3.3 billion in circulation. According to BlockBeats, when WLD was launched on July 24, 2023, 500 million tokens were unlocked from the World Community allocation. The remaining 9.5 billion tokens are subject to a continuous daily linear unlocking mechanism, which will be completed 15 years after the launch. Starting July 24, 2026, the unlocking speed for various tokens will automatically decrease due to the locking mechanism: - Community Tokens: The unlocking speed will be reduced by 50%, from 3.2 million tokens per day to 1.6 million, as per an immutable on-chain contract. - TFH Investor and Team Tokens: The unlocking speed will decrease by 32%, from 1.9 million tokens per day to 1.3 million. Overall, the total unlocking speed for all tokens will decline by 43%, from approximately 5.1 million tokens per day to about 2.9 million WLD.

Circle officially released its 2026 vision for the development of its internet finance system, proposing to focus on building cross-chain interoperability infrastructure, liquidity orchestration capabilities, and an institutional-grade asset issuance system to promote the efficient flow of value within a multi-chain ecosystem. Regarding cross-chain infrastructure, Circle stated that it will launch features such as "Fast Transfer" in the future, enabling second-level settlement without waiting for final confirmation from the source chain, thus improving capital utilization efficiency. In terms of asset expansion, CCTP plans to expand to more assets beyond USDC, including EURC, USYC, and cirBTC, and support the issuance and circulation of real-world assets (RWA) across multiple chains. Furthermore, Circle is advancing cross-chain process coordination, simplifying multi-chain operation processes through tools such as Bridge Kit, Deposit Kit, Fee Service, and Workflows, achieving "one-click" cross-chain interaction, reducing development complexity, and improving user experience.

The official World blog announced that the WLD token unlocking rate will be automatically reduced by approximately 43% starting July 24, 2026. Currently, 4.9 billion WLD tokens (49% of the total supply) have been unlocked, with approximately 3.3 billion in circulation. Specifically, the unlocking rate for the World community will decrease from 3.2 million tokens per day to 1.6 million tokens per day, a 50% reduction; the unlocking rate for the team and investors will decrease from 1.9 million tokens per day to 1.3 million tokens per day, a 32% reduction. The overall unlocking amount will decrease from approximately 5.1 million tokens per day to approximately 2.9 million tokens per day. WLD uses a continuous linear unlocking mechanism, with no one-time large-scale unlocking (cliff). This rate reduction stems from established on-chain contract arrangements aimed at gradually reducing selling pressure.

Bittensor's market value dropped by nearly $900 million after Covenant AI announced its departure from the network. According to NS3.AI, CryptoSlate data revealed that TAO, Bittensor's native token, fell 27% from $338 to $285 within approximately two hours before slightly recovering to $294. CoinGlass data indicated that the event led to $11 million in long liquidations.

The ongoing conflict in Iran is leading states across the United States to contemplate temporary reductions in fuel taxes as a relief measure. Bloomberg posted on X, highlighting that this initiative could potentially cost states millions of dollars. The move aims to alleviate the financial burden on consumers facing rising fuel prices due to the geopolitical tensions. However, the potential loss in tax revenue is a significant concern for state budgets already strained by other economic pressures. As discussions continue, states are weighing the benefits of immediate consumer relief against the long-term fiscal impacts.

Bitmine Chairman Tom Lee stated on the X platform that although strong skepticism remains in the market, increasing signs indicate that the market has bottomed out. In an environment of high uncertainty, investors should focus on assets that have outperformed since the Iranian conflict, with Ethereum-related assets leading the pack, followed by Bitcoin-related assets. Specifically, Tom Lee prioritizes Ethereum and related assets (such as ETHA and BMNR), while also favoring Bitcoin and its ETFs (such as IBIT). He previously emphasized that Ethereum has demonstrated relative strength during geopolitical conflicts, becoming a "bellwether" for market resilience. Overall, Tom Lee believes that cryptocurrencies have proven to be a "wartime store of value," and the market has gradually digested negative factors, providing a foundation for further rebound in risk assets. However, this depends on the continued stability of the macroeconomic and geopolitical situation.

Bitcoin briefly rose to $73,000 after the release of the US March CPI data, attempting to set a new high for the period. Data showed that overall US inflation was slightly lower than market expectations, but a significant rise in energy prices created a divergence. Specifically, the US March CPI rose 3.3% year-on-year, and the month-on-month figure was 0.1% lower than expected; energy prices rose 10.9%, with gasoline prices surging 21.2% month-on-month, marking the largest monthly increase since 1967. Financial markets reacted relatively restrainedly, with US stocks opening largely flat and Bitcoin showing no significant volatility. Meanwhile, influenced by the previous PCE data, the market has largely ruled out the possibility of a short-term interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve. From a trading perspective, analysts believe that Bitcoin is currently trading within a converging range. If it retests key highs in the short term, market reaction will be a crucial signal for its subsequent trend, with the $74,000 level considered a key liquidity area. (Cointelegraph)

On April 10, a substantial transfer of NOM tokens was observed. According to BlockBeats On-chain Detection, an address group holding at least 59% of NOM's circulating supply moved 23% of the tokens, totaling 674 million NOM, to a centralized exchange within the past hour. This transfer coincided with a 25% decline in NOM's price today. The address group is likely responsible for driving a sixfold increase in NOM's value over the past two weeks, from $0.0017 to $0.0126. On April 1, they withdrew 1.72 billion NOM from a centralized exchange using seven wallets, representing 59% of NOM's total circulating supply of 2.9 billion tokens.

Russia has officially designated Stanford University as an 'undesirable' organization, adding it to a growing list of foreign entities banned within the country. Bloomberg posted on X, highlighting that this move is part of a broader crackdown on foreign institutions and organizations deemed to pose a threat to national security. The designation effectively prohibits the university from operating within Russia and restricts any collaboration with Russian entities. This action follows similar bans on other international organizations, reflecting ongoing tensions between Russia and Western institutions.
