Bhutan Holds $1 Billion in Bitcoin Amid Growing State Adoption

According to Arkham Intelligence, the Royal Government of Bhutan now holds more than $1 billion worth of Bitcoin. Two weeks ago, the country moved $65 million in Bitcoin to Binance wallets to prepare for a sale, but it’s still diligently acquiring more.
Bhutan has yet to sell these assets. Meanwhile, in the US, Donald Trump’s promises for an official Bitcoin Reserve highlight a growing trend.
Bhutan’s Growing Bitcoin Stockpile
According to new on-chain data from blockchain analysis firm Arkham Intelligence, the Royal Government of Bhutan’s Bitcoin holdings are worth more than $1 billion. Bhutan has been acquiring Bitcoin through mining since 2021, increasing this growth rate last year. Thanks to Bitcoin’s all-time high, these holdings have grown even faster.

This news comes less than two weeks after Bhutan deposited more than 900 BTC worth $65 million into a Binance account. A transfer of this size would typically indicate a major sell-off, like in Germany’s substantial asset sales this summer. However, Bhutan has continued mining Bitcoin at the same rates.
In other words, this $1 billion milestone is largely due to Bitcoin’s extremely bullish momentum, not a major Bitcoin acquisition. Bhutan’s wallets actually hold slightly fewer bitcoins than before the transfer, but the country might recoup this drop.
New State Bitcoin Holders
While Bhutan sent Bitcoin to Binance, other countries, such as El Salvador, refrained from selling. El Salvador has publicly stated it will not sell its massive holdings, regardless of how high they might get. Donald Trump, too, has vowed to halt attempted sell-offs as a campaign promise.
However, Peter Schiff, a noted Bitcoin critic, recently commented on potential market effects:
“If the US government actually established a Bitcoin reserve and bought 1 million Bitcoin, it might end up buying millions more. Since the US government’s purchase of 1 million Bitcoin would drive the price so high, many HODLers, then worth millions or billions, would finally begin cashing out to spend their windfalls,” Schiff claimed.
This scenario takes several things for granted, not least of which is that buying several million out of 21 million total Bitcoin would be very difficult, especially while the price is soaring. However, it does illustrate the kind of confidence that these massive Bitcoin stockpiles can engender. If the US government does turn its stockpile into a true Reserve, it would drive the price up.
For Bhutan, these sorts of dynamics would take place at a much smaller scale. Although it is a major Bitcoin holder and miner, Bhutan’s government hasn’t stated any desire to transform market dynamics. At the moment, it seems positioned to be another standard bearer for state-held Bitcoin reserves, in a time when the trend is growing.

VanEck Sets Stage for BNB ETF with Official Trust Filing

Global investment management firm VanEck has officially registered a statutory trust in Delaware for Binance’s BNB (BNB) exchange-traded fund (ETF).
This move marks the first attempt to launch a spot BNB ETF in the United States. It could potentially open new avenues for institutional and retail investors to gain exposure to the asset through a regulated investment vehicle.
VanEck Moves Forward with BNB ETF
The trust was registered on March 31 under the name “VanEck BNB ETF” with filing number 10148820. It was recorded on Delaware’s official state website.

The proposed BNB ETF would track the price of BNB. It is the native cryptocurrency of the BNB Chain ecosystem, developed by the cryptocurrency exchange Binance.
As per the latest data, BNB ranks as the fifth-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization at $87.1 billion. Despite its significant market position, both BNB’s price and the broader cryptocurrency market have faced some challenges recently.
Over the past month, the altcoin’s value has declined 2.2%. At the time of writing, BNB was trading at $598. This represented a 1.7% dip in the last 24 hours, according to data from BeInCrypto.

While the trust filing hasn’t yet led to a price uptick, the community remains optimistic about the prospects of BNB, especially with this new development.
“Send BNB to the moon now,” an analyst posted on X (formerly Twitter).
The filing comes just weeks after VanEck made a similar move for Avalanche (AVAX). On March 10, VanEck registered a trust for an AVAX-focused ETF.
This was quickly followed by the filing of an S-1 registration statement with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Given this precedent, a similar S-1 filing for a BNB ETF could follow soon.
“A big step toward bringing BNB to US institutional investors!” another analyst wrote.
Meanwhile, the industry has seen an influx of crypto fund applications at the SEC following the election of a pro-crypto administration. In fact, a recent survey revealed that 71% of ETF investors are bullish on crypto and plan to increase their allocations to cryptocurrency ETFs in the next 12 months.
“Three-quarters of allocators expect to increase their investment in cryptocurrency-focused ETFs over the next 12 months, with demand highest in Asia (80%), and the US (76%), in contrast to Europe (59%),” the survey revealed.
This growing interest in crypto ETFs could drive further demand for assets like BNB, making the VanEck BNB ETF a potentially significant product in the market.

XRP Recovery Stalls—Are Bears Still In Control?

XRP price started a fresh decline from the $2.20 zone. The price is now consolidating and might face hurdles near the $2.120 level.
- XRP price started a fresh decline after it failed to clear the $2.20 resistance zone.
- The price is now trading below $2.150 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.
- There is a connecting bearish trend line forming with resistance at $2.120 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair (data source from Kraken).
- The pair might extend losses if it fails to clear the $2.20 resistance zone.
XRP Price Faces Rejection
XRP price failed to continue higher above the $2.20 resistance zone and reacted to the downside, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price declined below the $2.150 and $2.120 levels.
The bears were able to push the price below the 50% Fib retracement level of the recovery wave from the $2.023 swing low to the $2.199 high. There is also a connecting bearish trend line forming with resistance at $2.120 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair.
The price is now trading below $2.150 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. However, the bulls are now active near the $2.10 support level. They are protecting the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the recovery wave from the $2.023 swing low to the $2.199 high.
On the upside, the price might face resistance near the $2.120 level and the trend line zone. The first major resistance is near the $2.150 level. The next resistance is $2.20. A clear move above the $2.20 resistance might send the price toward the $2.240 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $2.2650 resistance or even $2.2880 in the near term. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be $2.320.
Another Decline?
If XRP fails to clear the $2.150 resistance zone, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2.10 level. The next major support is near the $2.0650 level.
If there is a downside break and a close below the $2.0650 level, the price might continue to decline toward the $2.020 support. The next major support sits near the $2.00 zone.
Technical Indicators
Hourly MACD – The MACD for XRP/USD is now gaining pace in the bearish zone.
Hourly RSI (Relative Strength Index) – The RSI for XRP/USD is now below the 50 level.
Major Support Levels – $2.10 and $2.050.
Major Resistance Levels – $2.120 and $2.20.
