BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF just crossed a massive milestone

BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF just crossed a massive milestone

Author: Token Metrics April 26, 2026 Duration: 6:48
BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF just hit a milestone that didn't exist 18 months ago. Meme tokens are up 35% in 7 days. Rollups up 31%. BTC sits at $78K — barely moving while everything around it runs.

Today's key developments:
• BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF just crossed a milestone that proves crypto went mainstream — and Coinbase is positioning itself as the only full-service prime broker that can actually serve the institutions showing up.
• The CFTC sued New York to block a state crackdown on prediction markets. 38 attorneys general backed Massachusetts in the Kalshi case. And Brazil just banned Polymarket, Kalshi, and every other prediction platform outright.
• Litecoin rewrote 13 blocks of its own history — roughly 3 hours of transactions — to undo its first major privacy layer exploit. Then it said the vulnerability wasn't a zero-day. GitHub commit history says otherwise.
