According to NS3.AI, the Canadian government has identified these machines as a primary method used by scammers, contributing to over $704 million in fraud losses reported by Canadians in 2025. Despite the proposed ban, Canadians would still be able to purchase digital assets through other regulated channels.

Publicly traded cryptocurrency mining companies are experiencing significant growth in 2026, despite ongoing challenges in the broader crypto market. According to Cointelegraph, all ten of the largest publicly traded mining stocks have shown positive year-to-date (YTD) performance, with increases ranging from approximately 5% to over 85%, based on data from Bitcoinminingstock.io. Leading the pack is TeraWulf, Inc., which has seen gains of about 85%. Hut 8 Corp. follows with an increase of roughly 67%, while Riot Platforms, Inc. has risen around 46%. Other notable performers include Core Scientific, Inc., up about 40%, and Applied Digital Corporation, which has climbed roughly 37% YTD. Bitdeer Technologies Group, however, is the weakest among the top ten, with a rise of around 5%. Outside this group, American Bitcoin Corp., a company linked to U.S. President Donald Trump and backed by Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., has seen a decline of approximately 29%. These developments occur even as Bitcoin (BTC) remains down about 20% YTD, despite a 17% increase over the past 30 days. The surge in mining stocks coincides with many leading companies expanding into artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC) sectors. Riot Platforms recently reported $167.2 million in revenue for the first quarter of 2026, with its data center business contributing $33.2 million, offsetting a decrease in core mining revenue. CEO Jason Les described this period as an “inflection point” as the company shifts towards becoming a revenue-generating data center operator. Core Scientific, Inc. is also enhancing its infrastructure, planning to transform a Texas site into an AI-focused data center campus with a capacity of up to 1.5 gigawatts, including about 1 gigawatt available for leasing. Approximately 300 megawatts currently used for Bitcoin mining at the site will be repurposed for data center operations. In February, HIVE Digital Technologies reported a 219% year-over-year increase in quarterly revenue as it expanded its AI and HPC business, alongside a $30 million contract to deploy Nvidia GPUs for enterprise AI cloud customers. That same month, MARA Holdings, Inc. acquired a 64% stake in French AI data center company Exaion. A recent report from Bernstein suggested that IREN Limited, the largest publicly traded miner by market cap, might eventually phase out its Bitcoin mining operations as it reallocates resources towards GPU-based workloads.

Brazil's central bank has implemented a new regulation that prohibits regulated electronic foreign exchange (eFX) providers from using stablecoins, Bitcoin, or other cryptocurrencies for settling cross-border payments. According to NS3.AI, Resolution No. 561, which was published on April 30, took effect on October 1. The regulation allows some firms until 2027 to either adapt to the new rules or seek authorization. The rule mandates that settlements must occur through a foreign exchange transaction or a non-resident real-denominated account in Brazil. While the regulation does not ban cryptocurrency trading, it effectively closes a payment channel previously utilized by companies such as Wise, Nomad, and Braza Bank.

Berkshire Hathaway reported a record cash and Treasury bill position of $397.4 billion in the first quarter of 2026. According to NS3.AI, this comes as Greg Abel maintains the company's anti-Bitcoin stance. The company's operating earnings increased by 18% to $11.35 billion during the quarter. Berkshire continued to be a net seller of equities, with no capital allocated to Bitcoin, spot Bitcoin ETFs, or any digital assets.

ChainCatcher reports that long positions accounted for $49.26 million, while short positions saw liquidations of $61.22 million. Bitcoin long positions experienced liquidations of $8.48 million, and short positions saw $6.71 million in liquidations. Ethereum long positions faced $10.86 million in liquidations, with short positions at $4.52 million. Additionally, 99,559 traders were liquidated globally during this period. The largest single liquidation occurred on OKX's ETH-USDT-SWAP, valued at $1.14 million.

Arbitrum's Security Council seized 30,766 ETH from the KelpDAO hacker, valued at $71 million, but a US court order now prevents the DAO from accessing the funds. According to BeInCrypto, lawyers for North Korean kidnapping victims aim to claim the money under a 2015 judgment against Pyongyang. The legal action halts Aave and KelpDAO's plans to compensate users affected by the April 18 hack. The freeze highlights how centralized governance actions can lead to assets being pulled into US courts. The Southern District of New York issued the order, barring Arbitrum from transferring the seized assets.

Developers Sergio Lerner and Dan Held have expressed concerns regarding Paul Sztorc's proposed eCash fork, suggesting it resembles an airdrop to Bitcoin holders rather than a traditional Bitcoin hard fork. According to NS3.AI, the developers highlighted that the UTXO-based distribution method and absence of comprehensive replay protection might pose operational challenges and potential fund-loss risks for users attempting to claim the tokens.

Japan has reportedly intervened in the currency market by purchasing approximately $35 billion worth of yen, causing the dollar to decline nearly 3% to 155.5. According to NS3.AI, data from the Bank of Japan (BOJ) suggests this scale of intervention, and confirmation from the Ministry of Finance would mark Japan's first official action to support the yen in almost two years, making it the second-largest intervention on record. The short-rate gap between the BOJ and the U.S. Federal Reserve remains around 275–300 basis points, which is a key factor driving yen-funded carry trades.
