Dogecoin is back in one of those awkward areas where both bulls and bears can make a case. Price has cooled into support rather than collapsing, which gives buyers something to defend. But it has not yet produced the kin

An X analyst says Bitcoin is approaching local H4 resistance near $64,100, a level tied to a 1:1 correction and 38.2% Fibonacci measurement.
Solana is showing a mixed outlook as it stabilizes around a key technical level while underlying network activity continues to soften. Price action has found a firm footing near the $84 support zone, helping to preserve the broader bullish structure and limit downside pressure for now. Market Structure Remains Strong Despite Engagement Drop Solana is holding a critical level that could define its next major move. An analyst known as Venture on X highlighted that SOL is currently at the support-resistance (SR) level around $84, and the structure suggests there is little reason for the price to break below it. Once momentum shifts, price could quickly move through nearby value areas, and the structure below has effectively turned into a defensive base. Related Reading: Solana (SOL) Hits Key Support, Will Bulls Hold the Line? Looking at the broader macro, this structure aligns with a major SR level that previously held firm, even as calls for a deeper 70% correction circulated. The current structure on the chart shows that the SOL price will not go lower until it loses its current level, and the money flow data will shift back to negative. In this context, SOL is behaving similarly to other cryptocurrencies that form a positive daily phase, often associated with mid-cycle pivots. With multiple technical factors aligning, the current setup is being viewed as a low-risk, high-reward long opportunity, as long as key levels continue to hold. What This Downtrend Means For Solana’s Market Position Solana is showing a striking divergence between network activity and market sentiment. Santiment Intelligence on X has noted that the SOL weekly active addresses have fallen sharply from around 5.01 million in early February to approximately 2.89 million in the latest data. Fewer wallets are actively transferring SOL, suggesting reduced usage at a time when the asset has largely stagnated in price. Related Reading: Solana Ecosystem Boom: Network Sees Massive Growth In Stablecoin Active Users At the same time, sentiment toward SOL platforms has surged to its highest level since January. Bullish commentary now significantly outweighs bearish views, with roughly 3.2 positive mentions for every negative one across X, Reddit, Telegram, and other platforms. The narrative gaining traction is that SOL may be primed for a breakout, especially after underperforming Bitcoin and other major assets, potentially benefiting from a mean reversion. However, the key question remains whether SOL can validate the bullish outlook, which will likely depend on its network’s ability to reverse the current decline in activity and reestablish meaningful on-chain utility. The founders of morecryptoonlv, known as MCO Global on X, have also pointed out that Solana is attempting to track the upward momentum of Bitcoin, with its broader wave structure still intact. From a technical standpoint, the current setup remains constructive, and the price needs to hold the signal line at $85.50 to maintain bullish momentum.

The Cashtags feature aligns with Musk's broader ambitions to transform X into a super app.
Years of crypto scams running havoc on the social network X, formerly known as Twitter, have resulted in the implementation of a “kill switch” for users talking about crypto. An Auto-Lock For Crypto Posting? The announcement of the toughest anti-crypto scam measure to date was made by Nikita Bier, X’s Head of Product, through a post on the same social media on Wednesday. Yeah we’re aware. We are in the process of implementing auto-locking + verification if a user posts about cryptocurrency for the first time in the history of their account. This should kill 99% of the incentive, especially since Google isn’t doing shit to stop the phishing… — Nikita Bier (@nikitabier) April 1, 2026 The measure was brought to public attention after Bier, who is also a Solana ecosystem advisor, replied to a post from UK-based web3 creator Benjamin White. In his thread, White explained how his account had been phished via a fake copyright email. This led to his X account being compromised and used to promote a crypto scam. Yeah – I got phished. ???? You can listen to exactly what happened here, or read the article below. Shout out to the @premium support team (@nikitabier – this needs more exposure). BE SAFE EVERYONE. https://t.co/u6cMy8Dirq pic.twitter.com/HwZZvaTuc5 — Benjamin (@HelloBenWhite) April 1, 2026 Now, according to the new guidelines, X can auto‑lock an account it mentions crypto for the first time, and force extra checks before it can post again. Bier’s argue this should kill most of the incentive, making freshly hijacked or newly spun‑up accounts effectively useless to scammers. Related Reading: Bitcoin Liquidations Dethroned? A Tokenized Bet Just Posted Crypto’s Biggest Loss Updates And Details On The Crypto “Kill Switch” In a different post from the same day, Bier laid out the way suspensions works and reiterated that some financial scams are running “rampant” on the platform. For context: All suspensions are determined by the policy team; no one, including me, has unilateral decisionmaking authority. Having said that: • This was posted on March 31st, not April 1 • Fake X-trademarked financial scams run rampant on this platform • Soliciting… — Nikita Bier (@nikitabier) April 1, 2026 Bier also replied to a concerned user inquiring about “community-mention spam attacks” (when accounts tag a lot of people at the same time to promote cryptocurrencies) assuring that such activity should also now be blocked on the site. That community-mention spam attack should be blocked as of yesterday afternoon. — Nikita Bier (@nikitabier) April 1, 2026 The platform will also detect fraudulent memecoin activity. Yesterday, Bier corrected a now deleted Community Note explaining that “it is always a hack” when a high-profile account without any previous relation to crypto suddenly drops a memecoin. The social network will now require account ownership verification in such cases. @CommunityNotes Wrong. If you have more than 10k followers and you drop a meme coin without any prior connection to crypto, it is always a hack. We will be detecting that and requiring account ownership verification — to reduce the incentive to phish X accounts. — Nikita Bier (@nikitabier) April 2, 2026 The usual playbook for this type of scams include phishing emails posing as copyright or security warnings, fake login pages, stealing passwords and 2FA, then using captured X accounts to blast out scam links and tokens. X is a valuable target for scammers because it allows them to tap in the reputation of real users and their follower networks, not to mention the speed at which posts can go viral in “crypto Twitter” culture. A Long Battle Against Scammers The social network has taken legal action against banned users in the past, including crypto fraudsters, who tried to bribe employees to get suspended accounts reinstated, describing this as part of a broader criminal network. X’s Global Government Affairs account publicly framed this as “strong action against a bribery network targeting our platform,” explicitly linking it to suspended crypto‑scam accounts. X has exposed and is taking strong action against a bribery network targeting our platform. Suspended accounts involved in crypto scams and platform manipulation paid middlemen to attempt to bribe employees to reinstate their suspended accounts. These perpetrators exploit social… — Global Government Affairs (@GlobalAffairs) September 19, 2025 Regulators specifically criticized X’s design of the subscription‑based blue check system, saying it allowed users to buy badges without proper identity checks, increasing the risk of scam accounts appearing “verified”. The European Union fined the social network with €120 million under the Digital Services Act at the end of last year, in part because its paid blue‑check verification “misleads users” about authenticity and exposes them to scams and impersonation.

The new measure of auto‑locking first‑time crypto posters makes hijacked accounts less monetizable, raises costs for scam rings, and could sharply cut opportunistic phishing campaigns.

Recent market dynamics, most especially the launch of Spot Dogecoin ETFs, have seen Dogecoin slowly transitioning out of its meme coin status. Notably, a crypto pundit on X is of the notion that the transition is now at a tipping point. According to the pundit, there are three major reasons as to how Dogecoin could transition from a speculative asset into something far more functional as real money. If this plays out, the analyst believes Dogecoin’s price could rise from around $0.30 to $1.20 in a short time. Network Activation Through X Dogecoin has always been linked as a possible payment method on the social media platform X, and this is mostly due to Elon Musk’s public support for the cryptocurrency and his ambition to turn X into a combined financial and social platform. Related Reading: Dogecoin Vs. Shiba Inu: What Meme Coin Should You Buy For Most Returns In 2026? According to crypto pundit Sean Park on X, the scale of a potential integration as a payment method on X is the first way in which Dogecoin transitions into real money. This outlook is based on the upcoming X payments beta and the ambitions of Elon Musk’s ecosystem, including X, xAI, and SpaceX. If Dogecoin is introduced as a native or primary payment option, then it could become the beginning of what would become the greatest bullish phase for the meme coin. This means that deeper payment integration could strengthen user engagement, transaction data, and AI model training. Integrating DOGE as X’s native payment coin would activate the meme coin community, creating a cascade of “pay with DOGE” activity across the platform. Interestingly, Dogecoin’s fees are about one-tenth of competing networks like Solana or Ethereum, meaning users who try it once tend to keep using it. That surge in activity will ultimately generate a mountain of real-world transaction data. The result creates an effect where xAI grows smarter and more valuable at the same time X becomes stickier, locking out rivals like Google from the space. Two wins from one move, and without it, the analyst contends, an IPO at the $1.75 trillion target for X will be impossible. Infrastructure, Stablecoin Integration, And Competitive Timing The second reason is based on recent regulatory clarity from the US Securities and Exchange Commission, specifically an FAQ issued by SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce, regarding the way for easy swaps between US dollars and cryptocurrencies like Dogecoin. Stablecoins are expected to be fully integrated across major platforms by May or June 2026, and this is projected to create a system where USD-DOGE swaps become instant. Related Reading: This Analyst Predicted The Dogecoin Price Crash, But There’s More To The Forecast The third reason, which is perhaps the most urgent, has more to do with which social media platform becomes the go-to money app. The most pressure is coming from Telegram, which is building out its TON blockchain-based payment ecosystem. Without a native payment coin, X will remain, as the pundit puts it bluntly, “just a tweet place.” Adding Dogecoin changes the platform’s fundamental identity from a social network to a financial hub. The Dogecoin fanbase, which is already one of the most vocal and engaged communities in crypto, would become X’s de facto marketing army, spreading the social media platform’s adoption organically.

Bier also promised forthcoming efforts to cut down on spam posts and apps on X, a stance which has sometimes drawn the ire of crypto traders.
OpenAI’s hint that it may build a social app focused on real humans sent one crypto token climbing fast this week. Traders moved quickly after reports surfaced that the new service would try to block bots by using biometric checks. Prices jumped, chatter rose, and a few questions followed close behind. Related Reading: Something Big Is Brewing In XRP DeFi—And 91 Million Tokens Tell The Story Markets React To Biometric Rumors According to Forbes and several market outlets, OpenAI is quietly exploring a “humans-only” social platform. Reports say the project is still small, run by a roughly 10-person team inside the company. The idea would be to verify real users with biometric tools — either existing phone systems like Face ID or iris scans similar to the ones used by Worldcoin’s Orb. Worldcoin’s token, WLD, surged sharply on the news, hitting gains as high as 33% during the initial trading spike. That move was partly speculative. Prices later pulled back, but trading volume stayed elevated and volatility increased. WLD climbed from $0.51 to $0.68 in the last 24 hours, data from Coingecko shows. How Proof Of Personhood Could Be Used Proof of personhood aims to tell a platform which accounts are run by actual people and which ones are automated. Reports note that using biometrics would make it harder for bots to create fake accounts, but that approach raises new hurdles. For example, devices and systems must be trusted to check identity without sharing private data. Worldcoin’s model pairs an iris scan with a cryptographic claim. That claim is meant to prove uniqueness while hiding the raw biometric image. The technical detail matters. How the checks are stored, who holds the keys, and whether users can opt out will shape public acceptance. The Identity Project News outlets first published the OpenAI report late last week. Markets reacted in real time. Social posts amplified the rumor, and media pieces linked the plan back to Worldcoin because Sam Altman, OpenAI’s CEO, helped start the identity project. No formal announcement has been made by OpenAI or by Worldcoin. Everything on the table is based on reporting from unnamed sources. It should be clear that plans can change, and that early reports often overstate certainty. Related Reading: PayPal Survey: 4 In 10 US Merchants Now Accept Crypto Privacy And Policy Questions Loom Policy experts were quick to point out issues. Biometrics are sensitive data. Laws in different countries treat them in different ways. Reports have disclosed that regulators will likely ask how consent is gathered, how long data is kept, and whether people can use alternatives to biometric checks. Security is also a concern: if a verification system is breached, the consequences could be serious. Some civil rights groups already say that any mass biometric system deserves close scrutiny.

X is rolling out a feature called Starterpacks that will let new users follow ready-made groups of accounts tied to specific interests. It’s designed to make finding people to follow faster, and yes — that includes lists focused on Bitcoin and other crypto topics. Related Reading: Bitcoin’s Sharp Reversal Leaves Over $800 Million Liquidated In 1 Day Reports say the company has spent months building these curated sets and plans to launch them in the coming weeks. Starterpacks Include Crypto And Hundreds Of Categories According To X’s product team, the feature will span more than 1,000 interest categories so people can join subject feeds without hunting around. Some packs will pull together prominent Bitcoin commentators, active traders and market watchers so newcomers land in front of the right conversations quickly. The idea echoes a feature that already exists on rival apps, but X’s lists are picked internally rather than built by users. Over the last few months, we scoured the world for the top posters in every niche & country We’ve compiled them into a new tool called Starterpacks: to help new users find the best accounts—big or small—for their interests ⬇️ Reply below with a topic you’re most interested in… pic.twitter.com/MYIIQAaJaL — Nikita Bier (@nikitabier) January 21, 2026 Why Crypto Is Getting Special Attention Reports note that crypto chatter on X cooled last year. Posts mentioning Bitcoin fell by a noticeable margin in 2025, according to platform watchers who track engagement. That slide appears to have pushed product staff to make it easier to surface crypto creators again. The change is meant to reduce friction for users who want to jump into market talk without following dozens of accounts one by one. A Look At How The Packs Work Each Starterpack groups a small set of accounts around a theme. Users can accept a pack as a starting point and then add or remove people just like that. Some packs will be regional, while others target hobbies or professional beats. The lists were assembled by the product team after a global search for active voices in each niche. In practice, this means a newly joined user could pick a crypto pack and instantly follow a mix of analysts, podcasters and traders. Community Reaction Has Been Mixed Crypto users on X had already been vocal about visibility and moderation. A number of creators welcomed any effort that helps their posts reach new readers. Other people worried that curated packs could favor certain voices over others or steer attention away from smaller accounts. Debate over how feeds are shaped is expected to continue as Starterpacks roll out.

The Elon Musk-owned X social media platform has gone public with claims that a bribery network tried to pay its staff to bring back suspended crypto accounts. According to the company, middlemen acted on behalf of banned users, offering money to insiders in hopes of overturning account suspensions tied to scams and market abuse.

Suspended accounts involved in crypto scams and platform manipulation paid middlemen to attempt to bribe employees to reinstate their suspended accounts. These perpetrators exploit social… — Global Government Affairs (@GlobalAffairs) September 19, 2025 The Scale And The Links Law enforcement and platform teams are now looking into how broad the effort went. X’s Global Government Affairs team said it had identified multiple attempts, but did not list names or say how many staff were approached or whether any account was actually restored because of payments. Reports also connect the scheme to other online spaces; investigators say similar tactics have been used against other social services and gaming communities. Legal Action And Internal Review Based on reports, X has opened legal proceedings against people tied to the network and is working with outside authorities to share evidence. The GGA also says it will step up internal checks and audits to reduce the chance of employee collusion. At this stage, public filings or indictments have not been posted; the investigations are ongoing. Numbers And Context The platform has said it suspended hundreds of millions of abusive accounts in recent months — a figure some posts put at 335 million — as it moved to curb scams and bad actors on the site. Broader industry reports also note large losses from crypto phishing and fraud in recent periods, though those totals come from different compilations and are not tied directly to the bribery ring described by X.

What caused the X outage? On March 10, 2025, X’s services went down for many users, causing frustration and confusion across the platform. The outages were significant enough to make headlines and draw attention from the tech community and the media. Elon Musk, ever the outspoken owner, quickly attributed the disruptions to a “massive cyberattack.”While the initial response was that the attack might have originated from a coordinated group or even a nation-state, Musk’s comments pointed to Ukrainian IP addresses as the suspected source. However, he later clarified that the evidence was not definitive.Also, several cybersecurity experts emphasized that attributing the source of such attacks based solely on IP addresses is unreliable, as attackers often use compromised devices worldwide to mask their actual location. So, what was the cause of X’s disruption? It was a large-scale, distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack. Such attacks involve overwhelming a server with so much traffic that it cannot serve legitimate requests, effectively bringing down the platform. This attack is a common method for cybercriminals to take down websites and was the primary factor behind X’s downtime. The technical side: How the DDoS attack impacted X DDoS attacks are no small feat. These attacks flood the target’s servers with excessive traffic, rendering them unable to function correctly. It’s a strategy designed to exhaust a system’s resources and make it impossible for genuine users to access the service. Experts pointed out that the attack on X was massive and well-coordinated, taking down parts of the platform for hours.Here’s a timeline of the events on March 10:Early morning (Eastern Time): Users began reporting issues accessing X, with over 21,000 reports in the US and 10,800 in the UK. 9:30 am ET: A second wave of outages occurred, with about 40,000 users reporting disruptions. This outage persisted into the afternoon.Throughout the day: Users continued to experience intermittent access issues, with reports peaking during critical periods such as the start of National Football League free agency.Evening: By 6:24 pm ET, the number of reported issues decreased significantly to 403 in the US and 200 in the UK, indicating that the platform was stabilizing.Security experts noted that some of X’s origin servers had not been adequately protected behind Cloudflare’s DDoS defense systems. This created a vulnerability that cyber attackers could exploit, contributing to the success of the attack.Did any individual or group claim responsibility?Yes, in the aftermath of the attack, a pro-Palestinian hacker group known as Dark Storm Team claimed responsibility. This group has been active since late 2023 and is known for targeting organizations and governments perceived to support Israel. Their tactics often involve DDoS attacks to disrupt services and draw attention to their political motives. While X took quick action to shore up these weaknesses, this incident served as a reminder that even the most prominent platforms are not immune to cyber threats if their security infrastructure isn’t up to the task.Did you know? Cloudflare is renowned for its robust DDoS protection, having previously defended against some of the largest recorded attacks, including a 5.6 terabit per second assault in October 2024. From fail whale to Musk’s era: Major X outages in history Over the years, the platform has faced several high-profile outages caused by cyberattacks, internal errors and technical limitations.In its early days, X (then Twitter) was notorious for frequent crashes, often displaying the now-iconic “fail whale” image to users. These outages were primarily due to the platform’s struggle to handle surges in traffic, particularly during major global events like elections, award shows and sports finals.“Fail Whale” was Twitter’s old error message, showing a cartoon whale being lifted by birds. It appeared when Twitter was overloaded or crashed. It became a symbol of Twitter’s frequent outages, especially in its early days.Notable incidents from Fail Whale to Musk’s X era include:2016 Dyn DDoS attack: One of the most severe outages in X’s history occurred during the Dyn cyberattack in October 2016. This massive DDoS attack targeted a key internet infrastructure provider, taking down major websites, including X, Reddit and Spotify. The incident underscored the risks of centralized internet infrastructure.2020 API failures: In October 2020, a widespread outage due to internal system changes led to API failures. While not a cyberattack, the event demonstrated how a misconfiguration could bring down the platform for hours.2022 takeover disruptions: Following Elon Musk’s acquisition in late 2022, several outages occurred due to mass layoffs affecting critical engineering teams. Reduced staffing raised concerns about the platform’s ability to maintain reliability.2023 rate limit issues: In July 2023, X imposed strict rate limits on users due to excessive data scraping. This decision led to widespread service disruptions, with many users unable to load tweets.Did you know? The US Treasury is being sued for allegedly giving Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) access to millions of Americans’ sensitive financial and personal data. The lawsuit, filed by the AFL-CIO, claims this access violates federal laws and raises significant privacy concerns. Lawmakers, including Senator Elizabeth Warren, have warned that Musk’s involvement could lead to unprecedented data misuse. The growing importance of social media security The X outage highlights the growing concern about social media security in today’s digital world. Platforms like X, Meta and Instagram have become crucial communication channels for individuals, businesses, governments and activists. Even X has become a hub for the crypto community, serving as a central platform for discussions, updates, and networking within the industry. However, these platforms are increasingly under threat from cyberattacks, misinformation campaigns and data breaches.Here are some key areas where social media security is essential:Protecting user data: With millions of users actively posting, messaging and storing sensitive data, social media platforms are prime targets for hackers. Personal information, including emails, phone numbers and even financial data, can be compromised if security measures are weak.Enhancing user authentication: Stronger authentication methods, such as multifactor authentication (MFA), biometric logins and encrypted messaging, can reduce the risk of unauthorized access. Users should be encouraged to enable MFA to add an extra layer of security to their accounts.Fighting disinformation and fake accounts: Cyberattacks aren’t always about taking down a platform; sometimes, they aim to manipulate public perception. Fake accounts, bots and misinformation campaigns can create chaos, influence elections and spread propaganda. Social media companies must use advanced AI tools to proactively detect and remove such threats.Preventing DDoS and cyberattacks: As seen in the case of X, DDoS attacks can cripple a platform. While companies invest heavily in cybersecurity, hackers continue to evolve their tactics. This calls for constant vigilance and AI-driven security systems to detect and mitigate threats in real-time.Regular security audits and updates: Cybersecurity is an ongoing process. Social media companies must conduct regular security audits to identify and patch vulnerabilities before attackers can exploit them. Keeping systems updated ensures that the latest security measures are in place.Finally, as you continue to integrate social media into various aspects of your lives, prioritizing security will ensure that these platforms remain trusted and reliable channels for communication and engagement.
