As of April 2, 2026, according to Gate market data, DOGE's current price is approximately $0.089, maintaining a narrow sideways consolidation trend recently. The support zone is between $0.088 and $0.085, while resistance is concentrated around $0.10 to $0.105. However, on-chain data presents a completely different picture: Dogecoin network active addresses have surged from about 57,000 to 73,000 over the past week, a 28% increase week-over-week. The contradiction between significantly increased network engagement and stagnant prices provides a valuable analytical window for in-depth market analysis.
What kind of structural change does the surge in active addresses reflect?
Active addresses are a core on-chain indicator used to measure the health of a blockchain network, representing the number of unique wallets that complete at least one on-chain transaction (sending or receiving) each day.

Trump issues a 48-hour "final ultimatum." Will Black Monday reoccur next week?
If we were to choose the most diligent U.S. presidents in history, Trump might be among them. Not only does he often stir trouble on weekends, but he’s also not idle during Easter. Yesterday, Trump posted again on social media—"Remember when I gave Iran a 10-day deadline? Either reach an agreement or open the Strait of Hormuz. Time is running out—only 48 hours left before disaster strikes."
On Iran’s side, the military firmly rejected the U.S. "ultimatum" and vowed to defend national rights and protect state assets, making the invaders pay the price.
In response, after moving the USS Bush aircraft carrier to the Middle East, the U.S. also ordered the deployment of "extended-range joint area-denial external launch surface-to-surface missiles"(JASSM-ER) from multiple regions around the world for military operations against Iran. Most of these stealth cruise missile stocks will be deployed on the Middle Eastern battlefield.
The conflict between the two sides seems imminent, with ground warfare seemingly unavoidable. There’s a high possibility that the war could spill over into other regions, with Iran indiscriminately attacking pro-U.S. Middle Eastern countries. The entire Middle East could turn into chaos. All of this is set to unfold on April 6, Monday. Before the conflict escalates further, the spread of panic may be more frightening to markets than the war itself. Therefore, the global financial markets are likely to face another "Black Monday."
Next week’s key signals to watch: the opening of the Japan and South Korea stock markets.
Recently, the Japanese and South Korean stock markets have become barometers of the global financial market. As the earliest markets to open each day, their movements somewhat reflect the risk appetite of the day. If next Monday’s markets in Japan and South Korea still plunge sharply, risk should be carefully guarded against.
Key support/resistance levels for next week:
Bitcoin
First support: 65,000
Second support: 60,000
Resistance: 68,500
ETH
First support: 2020
Second support: 2000
Resistance: 2080
Gold
First support: 4550
Second support: 4300
Resistance: 4800
Oil
First support: 100
Second support: 95
Resistance: 118
Next week’s trading strategy: Focus on shorting high.
Risk warning: High leverage risks, strict stop-loss, light position trading.

Currently, the AI cryptocurrency sector is flourishing with many projects riding the hot trend, but few have solid logic and real-world applications.
Let's review the core logic of these popular tokens in the market:
TAO relies on subnetwork expansion and decentralized LLM training, along with expectations for grayscale spot ETFs—an established leader in the AI chain.
NEAR launched the AI-Intents framework, upgraded privacy sharding, and is awaiting Bitwise ETF approval; its ecosystem is moving toward AI agent development.
RENDER focuses on GPU computing power leasing, integrated with enterprise H100s; with the RenderCon conference coming up, its technology implementation is strong.
FET is building the infrastructure for AI as an L1, with a deflationary mechanism now live; its testnet is already running.
ICO issuance has been cut by 70%, focusing on on-chain LLM computation.
VIRTUAL's first AI DApp mainnet is launching in mid-April, with BNB Chain expansion underway.
AKT links deflation to GPU computing power, with a solid economic model.
IO develops GPU networks and DePIN, with utilization expected to reach full capacity.
PHA focuses on privacy AI agents, with TEE hardware upgrades.
LINK develops AI oracle services, building cross-chain data infrastructure.
ATH's mainnet v2 is live, with stablecoins for enterprise payments.
GRT handles on-chain data indexing, with mainnet upgrades in progress.
Among all these projects, the most promising are still TAO and VIRTUAL.
TAO is the absolute leader in the AI chain, with full support from technology, ecosystem, and institutional expectations—serving as a ballast in the sector.
VIRTUAL is a pioneer in AI DApps; its mainnet launch acts as a catalyst, and BNB Chain expansion has opened up additional growth potential, making it a project with explosive potential.
Many people are now blindly buying AI tokens, chasing highs at the peak, without truly understanding each project's core logic and entry timing.

#Gate广场四月发帖挑战 Layoffs, selling coins, and developing AI: MARA's transformation is just a typical example of what mining companies are experiencing.
On April 3, 2026, Bitcoin mining company MARA laid off 15% of its staff to advance the company's strategic shift from a pure Bitcoin miner to an energy and digital infrastructure company, with increased focus on AI infrastructure deployment. Previously, the company had entered the AI computing market by acquiring a 64% stake in Exaion, and now, with ongoing massive losses in Bitcoin mining and explosive growth in AI computing demand, these factors have become the dual core drivers of its transformation. Not only MARA, but the global mining industry’s AI transition has already begun... One of the world's largest Bitcoin mining companies, MARA (NASDAQ:MARA), has cut about 15% of its employees, involving full-time staff across multiple departments and some contractors.
MARA CEO Fred Thiel stated in an internal memo that this layoff was not purely a financial decision but part of the company's strategic shift from a pure Bitcoin miner to an energy and digital infrastructure company. This move reflects MARA’s proactive “downsizing,” reallocating resources from traditional mining operations toward the more promising AI sector.
1. From Mining Company to Digital Infrastructure: MARA’s Path of Transformation
On February 26 this year, MARA Holdings, Inc. announced that it had reached a strategic agreement with Starwood Capital Group (“Starwood”) and its dedicated data center development platform, Starwood Digital Ventures (“SDV”). This partnership aims to upgrade some of MARA’s data centers, building next-generation digital infrastructure to meet the growing demands of enterprise, hyperscale, and AI clients. SDV leads the design, development, tenant recruitment, construction, and facility operations, while Starwood provides investment expertise to enhance project economics. MARA contributes dedicated, energy-efficient data centers. The two parties will deliver approximately 1 gigawatt of IT capacity, with the potential to reach over 2.5 gigawatts in the future.
MARA sits at the intersection of energy and computing, while SDV’s development engine provides strong execution and operational capabilities, which are crucial for MARA’s transition and expansion into scalable and sustainable digital infrastructure. These data centers are designed for dual use, capable of running AI/enterprise/high-performance computing workloads and Bitcoin mining simultaneously, providing operational flexibility in a changing market environment. This modular approach allows Marathon to continue its mining operations while securing “highly attractive economic terms” from higher-margin data center customers.
MARA’s AI layout dates back to 2025. In August 2025, broker HC Wainwright pointed out that MARA would acquire a 64% stake in Exaion, a high-performance computing (HPC) company under French energy giant EDF, with plans to increase its stake to 75% by 2027.
In February this year, MARA’s official website announced that the acquisition of a 64% stake in Exaion had been completed, with EDF remaining a minority shareholder and customer; NJJ also acquired a 10% stake in MARA France. Exaion specializes in HPC data centers and secure cloud/AI, with board members including Xavier Niel and MARA CEO Fred Thiel, aiming to accelerate expansion in Europe. This marks MARA’s first substantial entry into the AI/HPC field, transitioning from a mining company to a computing power service provider.
2. Why the Shift?
1. Losses in Mining Business
In February, when the transformation was announced, MARA also released its Q4 2025 earnings: despite operational improvements, the company still reported huge losses. In Q4 2025, MARA posted a net loss of $1.7 billion (or a loss of $4.52 per share), contrasting sharply with a net profit of $528 million in the same period last year. Revenue declined 6% year-over-year to $202 million, below analyst expectations of $253.65 million. The Q4 results reflect the severe challenges faced by Bitcoin miners, with multiple adverse factors impacting profitability. Financial and operational overview shows overall pressure on key metrics. Although hashrate increased 25% year-over-year to 66.4 EH/s, and Bitcoin supply grew 20% to 53,822 BTC, increased network difficulty caused a 19% decrease in production to 2,011 BTC. MARA successfully improved cost efficiency, reducing daily PET hash cost by 4% to $30.50. However, this was insufficient to offset the impacts of Bitcoin price volatility and increased network competition. Due to significant impairments and operational pressures, adjusted EBITDA plummeted from $796 million in Q4 2024 to a negative $1.5 billion. The company holds about $5.3 billion in cash and Bitcoin but faces a massive $3.64 billion debt, and over the past 12 months, its leveraged free cash flow consumed $1.77 billion.
2. The Rise of AI
MARA’s adjustment is also aimed at aligning with the current AI boom. Power demand for AI data centers is projected to grow from about 50 gigawatts in 2025 to 200 gigawatts in 2030, an increase of 255%, requiring trillions of dollars in capital investment.
According to Goldman Sachs research, by 2030, global data center power demand will increase approximately 165%–200% from current levels, with AI-related loads continuing to rise; McKinsey & Company estimates that the cumulative investment in AI infrastructure (computing power + data centers + electricity) could reach trillions of dollars in the coming years. Amid the AI wave, MARA faces a choice: continue to bear Bitcoin-related losses due to uncertainty, or shift to the more essential computing power market. Bitcoin mining farms are essentially natural AI computing infrastructure, and MARA’s transformation appears to be a strategic industry upgrade aligned with market trends.
3. Mining Companies Are Collectively Moving Toward Transformation
MARA’s transformation is not isolated but a typical example across the mining industry. Over the past year, as Bitcoin mining profitability shrinks and AI demand surges, global miners are experiencing a wave of transformation. According to S&P data released in February, although revenue from high-performance computing (HPC) and AI remains limited so far, infrastructure investments are accelerating. Analysts predict that starting in 2026, HPC will contribute significantly to revenue. HPC is no longer a side business: for many mining companies, it is expected to become a main growth pillar in the coming years. Notably, IREN, Terawulf, and Core Scientific now focus almost entirely on HPC development, and analysts forecast these businesses will drive most of their revenue growth by 2026. By 2026, HPC revenue will account for 13% of Riot’s total income. The shift is even more pronounced for other companies: IREN’s HPC revenue is expected to jump from 3% in 2024 to 71% of total revenue; Core Scientific is projected to go from 5% to 71%; HIVE from 7% to 15%; Cipher Mining and Terawulf are expected to reach 34% and 70%, respectively, with their contributions in 2024 being almost negligible.
This shift highlights the industry’s strategic transition from reliance on cryptocurrency to growth driven by AI and high-performance computing. Miners are positioning themselves as providers of high-performance computing infrastructure, offering hosting services such as power, cooling, and physical infrastructure.

Challenge WBTC and cbBTC - Circle's cirBTC is here!
The stablecoin giant Circle has made another move, officially announcing the launch of a wrapped Bitcoin product called "cirBTC." This new asset, designed specifically for institutional users, marks Circle's further expansion into tokenization market infrastructure, aiming to provide a safer, neutral on-chain Bitcoin insurance pipeline within the existing DeFi ecosystem.
Product Features
1. Fully backed by BTC reserves
Circle emphasizes that cirBTC will be supported by Bitcoin (BTC) on a 1:1 basis, with these reserves verifiable on-chain at any time and independently. The company positions cirBTC as a safer and more neutral option, catering specifically to institutional users who want to participate in on-chain markets without relying on low-transparency architectures.
2. Launching on Ethereum and Arc Chain, seamlessly integrated with USDC
The product primarily targets OTC platforms, market makers, lending protocols, and other institutions that need tokenized Bitcoin for trading, collateral, and settlement. Circle states that the initial launch of cirBTC will be on Ethereum and Circle’s own blockchain project Arc. More importantly, it will be deeply integrated with USDC and Circle Mint, becoming a key part of Circle’s native technology stack.
Market Impact: Challenging the massive WBTC and cbBTC markets
The launch of cirBTC aligns perfectly with Circle’s established product development roadmap through 2026. The company is committed to building a new internet financial system through stablecoins, payment networks, blockchain infrastructure, and developer tools. cirBTC will become another key asset that can seamlessly connect to its existing payment and liquidity facilities.
However, the market that Circle is entering already has strong competitors. Currently, market leader WBTC has a market cap of about $8 billion, while Cbase’s cbBTC has a market cap of approximately $6 billion. Whether Circle can leverage its robust stablecoin infrastructure to carve out a niche in the large tokenized Bitcoin market remains to be seen.

#Gate广场四月发帖挑战 I’ve decided to get rich in Gate Square by "talking"😏😏😏
You might not believe it when I say this—
Recently, I found a "free win" scheme: post in Gate Square, and the system randomly gives out red envelopes, with a maximum of 10U per post. New users are 100% guaranteed to win on their first post.
My expression at that moment: Isn’t this just the platform paying me a salary?😲😲😲
So I immediately opened the square, ready to showcase my lifetime of knowledge. But I stared at the input box in a daze for three minutes. In the end, I posted this masterpiece: "Bitcoin dropped today, and my mood dropped too, but my holdings dropped the most."
Red envelope received💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻
Friend, I’ve double-checked the rules of this activity—posting gives you a chance to trigger a red envelope. The higher the quality of your post and the more interactions, the greater the chance and amount of the red envelope.
There’s also a leaderboard, and the top few can win Gate’s 13th Anniversary Gift Box and a Gate × Red Bull co-branded jacket—I’ve already pictured myself wearing it.😎😎😎
The scoring formula for the leaderboard looks like this: Number of posts ×1 + Active days ×1.2 + Interactions ×1.3
In plain language: Post daily, write seriously, spark resonance, and you can win.
So I plan to write a heartfelt crypto phrase every day:
Day 1: Stopped loss, but my spirit hasn’t stopped.
Day 2: When it rises, I call it a trend; when it falls, I call it a shakeout. I’ve believed in this for ten years.
Day 3: Today I didn’t open a position, and for the first time, I didn’t lose money.
It’s just so-so, but it counts as participating. Why aren’t you coming?
The activity ends on April 15. Remember to add tags when posting, and posts on external platforms must be submitted via a form to count. Investing involves risks, but the risk of posting and receiving red envelopes—so far, I haven’t encountered it.
