Digital Currency Group (DCG) Launches Fortitude Mining

Digital Currency Group (DCG) has launched Fortitude Mining, a wholly-owned subsidiary focused on venture mining opportunities across various digital assets.
The new venture will build on Foundry, DCG’s mining division, which has been active for five years. Foundry is the world’s largest Bitcoin mining pool.
DCG’s Fortitude Mining to Build on Foundry’s Legacy
According to an announcement, Fortitude Mining aims to mine Bitcoin and other high-growth digital assets in emerging ecosystems with strong return potential. DCG is basically spinning off the self-mining unit of its Foundry subsidiary into a separate business.
Andrea Childs, former Senior Vice President of Operations & Marketing at Foundry, has been appointed CEO of Fortitude Mining. Mike Colyer, who founded Foundry in 2019, will continue as CEO of the parent company.
Fortitude Mining’s primary goal is to generate returns by leveraging its mining expertise and substantial industry relationships.
DCG’s Founder and CEO, Barry Silbert, noted that Fortitude Mining’s spin-off allows the venture to explore greater growth opportunities, including capital raising, investments, and talent acquisition.
“Originally part of FoundryServices, FortitudeCrypto is pioneering venture mining- a unique model providing diversified exposure to crypto and engages early in fast-growing Proof of Work ecosystems beyond just Bitcoin,” Silbert noted on X.
Since its launch, Foundry has grown significantly, becoming the world’s leading Bitcoin mining pool since January 2022. This strong foundation positions Fortitude Mining for future success.
“The launch of Fortitude Mining as a standalone DCG subsidiary is a pivotal next step in allowing the business to continue to capitalize on the lucrative self-mining market,” said Foundry CEO Mike Colyer.
In 2024, Fortitude Mining invested heavily in new mining machines, ensuring the fleet remains efficient. The company plans to reinvest cash flows into further acquisitions and infrastructure in 2025. This focus on reinvestment supports Fortitude Mining’s long-term growth strategy and vertical integration.
Foundry will continue to operate its Bitcoin mining pool and other services. It remains focused on its core business while benefiting from Fortitude Mining’s independence.
The latest developments come after it was reported in December that Foundry laid off 60% of its workforce. The layoffs targeted the company’s non-core functions, including its entire hardware team.
Moreover, in 2023, the bankrupt crypto lender Gensis sued DCG, its parent company, over unpaid loans.

Bitcoin’s Future After Trump Tariffs

Welcome to the US Morning Crypto Briefing—your essential rundown of the most important developments in crypto for the day ahead.
Grab a coffee to see how Bitcoin is holding its ground while Wall Street stumbles, why Trump’s tariffs may push the Fed into money-printing mode, and what that could mean for crypto’s next chapter. From Ethereum’s test of resilience to rising odds of a US recession, here’s everything you need to know to stay ahead.
Bitcoin Enters Its Risk-Dynamic Era Amid Tariffs and Turmoil
Bitcoin’s reaction to recent macro shocks—particularly Trump’s sweeping tariffs—has been noticeably calm compared to traditional markets, and that’s turning heads. While Wall Street stumbles harder than expected, crypto has held relatively steady.
Nexo Dispatch Editor Stella Zlatarev told BeInCrypto that this isn’t just resilience—it’s evidence that Bitcoin may be entering a new phase of market maturity.
“A 2–3% drop in crypto is a rounding error compared to past cycles,” she said, emphasizing that this stability amid chaos suggests Bitcoin is no longer just a speculative punt. “Bitcoin’s ability to weather macro turbulence without the wild swings of previous years suggests institutional investors are treating it less as a speculative punt and more as a strategic asset,” Zlatarev said.
Analysts also stressed that Bitcoin’s behavior doesn’t align with traditional asset categories.
“It’s not gold, and it’s not the yen. Instead, Bitcoin is emerging as a risk-dynamic asset – one that doesn’t crumble like high-growth stocks but also doesn’t attract the same flight-to-safety flows as traditional safe havens,” Zlatarev told BeInCrypto.
This concept of a “risk-dynamic” asset positions Bitcoin in a unique role: something that thrives in uncertainty but doesn’t collapse when the market turns.
Zlatarev from Nexo also noted that how Ethereum and other blue-chip altcoins respond next will be key.
“If ETH mirrors BTC’s performance, it strengthens the case that top-tier crypto assets are evolving into a more predictable asset class. If ETH wobbles, it reinforces that, for now, Bitcoin is in a league of its own.”
Meanwhile, the macro backdrop is shifting fast. Trump’s new “Liberation Day” tariffs have spooked global trade partners and have also sent ripple effects through prediction markets. Polymarket now gives almost 50% odds of a US recession this year—a major shift following the announcement.
Also, CME FedWatch tool shows interest rate traders have boosted the probability the US Federal Reserve will make four rate cuts this year. Eventually, this could relief the current macroeconomic pressure on Bitcoin.

Former BitMex CEO Arthur Hayes mentioned that Trump’s current tariff strategy could complicate the US bond market. In other words, pressure is building for the Fed to intervene—possibly by turning on the liquidity spigot once again.
All of this puts Bitcoin in a new spotlight. Its steadiness is no longer being dismissed as a coincidence. It may be the first sign that crypto, or at least its most mature players, is stepping out of the shadows of speculation and into the spotlight of strategic finance.
Chart of the Day

By reducing foreign demand for US Treasuries, Trump’s tariffs may force the Fed to inject more liquidity—potentially weakening the dollar and boosting Bitcoin as an alternative store of value.
Byte-Sized Alpha
– Trump’s “Liberation Day” enforces 10%+ tariffs on all imports, hitting China, the EU, and Israel, triggering market drops and recession fears.
– According to Standard Chartered, Bitcoin may hit $500,000 by Trump’s term end, AVAX could 10x by 2029, and Ethereum’s 2025 target drops to $4,000.
– The STABLE Act of 2025 advances with bipartisan support, aiming to tighten stablecoin rules as competition and regulatory pressure intensify.
– Bitcoin ETFs see $221 million in April inflows led by ARKB, but BTC derivatives cool with falling futures interest and bearish options sentiment.
– DXY hits a 2024 low after “Liberation Day” tariffs, fueling short-term Bitcoin surge hopes amid global tensions and policy uncertainty.
– Bitcoin struggles below $85,000 amid weak sentiment, but long-term holders stay firm, keeping capitulation fears at bay.
– Polymarket sees almost 50% chance of US recession as Trump’s tariffs spark market fears and trade tensions.

EDGE Goes Live, RSR Added to Roadmap

Coinbase, one of the leading cryptocurrency exchanges, has announced the addition of Reserve Rights (RSR) to its listing roadmap, signaling a strategic move to broaden its offerings.
This coincides with the exchange’s decision to list Definitive (EDGE), which has already sparked significant market activity.
Coinbase Adds RSR To Roadmap
Reserve Rights is an ERC-20 token native to the Reserve Protocol. The platform offers a permissionless decentralized framework for stablecoin development. It enables users to create yield-bearing, asset-backed, and overcollateralized stablecoins on the Ethereum (ETH) blockchain.
The addition of RSR to Coinbase’s listing roadmap has caught considerable attention, partly due to its association with Paul Atkins, President Donald Trump’s nominee for SEC Chair.
Atkins previously served as a crypto advisor for the Reserve Protocol. He is widely regarded as a crypto-friendly figure—standing in sharp contrast to his predecessor, Gary Gensler, who oversaw a stringent crackdown on the industry during his tenure.
Notably, the exchange’s move was celebrated by the platform.
“Great to see more opportunities for people to participate in the Reserve ecosystem,” Reserve Protocol posted on X (formerly Twitter).
Despite the development, RSR’s price has shown only modest movement.

According to the latest data, it was trading at $0.006. This reflected a 1.2% increase over the past 24 hours.
However, the token has gained strong community support. CoinMarketCap data showed a 91.6% bullish sentiment among users. This indicated increased user confidence in its potential.

EDGE Sees Triple-Digit Rally Post Coinbase Listing
While RSR’s price showed only small gains, the EDGE token’s reaction has been much more dramatic. Coinbase revealed via X that it would list the Definitive platform’s utility token, EDGE.
“Trading will begin later today if liquidity conditions are met. Once sufficient supply of this asset is established trading on our EDGE-USD trading pair will launch in phases. Support for EDGE may be restricted in some supported jurisdictions,” the announcement read.
Following this, EDGE saw its price surge by an impressive 120.6% to $0.091. Previously, a similar reaction was observed in Doginme (DOGINME) and Keyboard Cat (KEYCAT) after they secured a listing on the exchange.

EDGE’s listing, however, comes with an “Experimental” label. This is a designation Coinbase uses to indicate assets that may carry higher risk or volatility.
“The Experimental asset label will not impact your ability to send, receive, buy, sell and/or hold assets on Coinbase. However, we do ask you to read and confirm you understand the risks involved, such as price swings and canceled orders, before trading an experimental asset for the first time,” the blog reads.
As Coinbase continues diversifying its portfolio, the addition of RSR and EDGE highlights the growing acceptance of diverse blockchain projects. These listings may provide new opportunities for investors. However, the associated risks should be carefully considered.

10 Altcoins at Risk of Binance Delisting

On April 3, Binance announced that it would add a new set of tokens to its monitoring list. These tokens are under closer scrutiny and may face delisting following the upcoming review period.
This move follows the exchange’s aims to increase transparency while offering more clarity regarding the risk levels associated with different cryptocurrencies.
10 Altcoins in Danger of Binance Delisting
As part of this update, the following tokens will be added to the Monitoring Tag list: Ardor (ARDR), Biswap (BSW), Flamingo (FLM), LTO Network (LTO), NKN (NKN), PlayDapp (PDA), Perpetual Protocol (PERP), Viberate (VIB), Voxies (VOXEL) and Wing Finance (WING).
Tokens added to the Monitoring Tag exhibit notably higher volatility and risk compared to other listed tokens. Binance will closely monitor these tokens, with regular reviews to assess their compliance with the platform’s listing criteria.
“Tokens with the Monitoring Tag are at risk of no longer meeting our listing criteria and being delisted from the platform,” Binance said.
Following the announcement, the prices of the mentioned altcoins plummeted by double-digits.

In addition to the new Monitoring Tag additions, Binance will also remove the Seed Tag from Jupiter (JUP), Starknet (STRK), and Toncoin (TON).
Tokens marked with the Seed Tag are those that are still in their early stages of development and have not yet met Binance’s full listing criteria. The removal of the Seed Tag indicates a change in the status of these projects. This suggests that they no longer fit the initial criteria for such a label.
Tokens with the Monitoring Tag or Seed Tag come with inherent risks. Binance ensures that users are well-informed before trading them. To access trading for these tokens, users must pass a risk awareness quiz every 90 days.
The quiz makes sure that users understand the potential risks associated with trading higher-risk tokens. Binance will also display a risk warning banner for these tokens on its Spot and Margin platforms.
Binance will continue to conduct periodic reviews of tokens with the Monitoring Tag and Seed Tag. During these reviews, several factors are taken into account. This includes the project team’s commitment, development activity, token liquidity, and community engagement.
The latest development follows a similar announcement from Binance in March. The exchange routinely delists tokens that fail to keep up with its criteria.
