Crypto never sleeps. Every day, new developments unfold, from high-profile figures like Donald Trump to major geopolitical events involving China and tariffs. However, there’s much more happening under the surface that crypto enthusiasts should keep an eye on. One of the most exciting events is the milestone marking Satoshi turning 50. But there’s more – let’s dive into the latest crypto news and some airdrop claims you won’t want to miss.
1) Satoshi Nakamoto Turning 50
The pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto, is said to have turned 50 on April 5, 2025. Although the identity of Nakamoto has never been revealed, their influence on the cryptocurrency world is undeniable. Speculation about who Nakamoto is continues to swirl, with names like Adam Back and Nick Szabo frequently popping up. There are even theories linking Nakamoto to government intelligence agencies, but the truth remains unknown.
What we do know is that Nakamoto once mentioned they were a 37-year-old living in Japan, with a birthdate of April 5, 1975. Despite their anonymity, Nakamoto’s legacy continues to thrive. Their Bitcoin wallet, which holds over 1 million BTC, has remained dormant for over 16 years. This wallet, untouched during Bitcoin’s rise from $0 to an all-time high above $109,000, remains one of the biggest mysteries in the space.
This milestone comes on the heels of a major move by the U.S. government. President Donald Trump signed an executive order to create a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and a Digital Asset Stockpile, marking the first significant step in integrating Bitcoin into the U.S. financial system. It’s a fascinating time for Bitcoin as it continues to gain institutional support.

3) Trump-Backed World Liberty Financial: Selling ETH Amid Losses
In other news, the Trump-backed World Liberty Financial (WLFI) has made headlines by selling a significant amount of Ether (ETH) after accumulating a $125 million loss. WLFI sold $8 million worth of ETH at a price of $1,465, having originally bought the token for $3,259 at the start of the year.
Interestingly, this sale happened shortly before Trump announced a pause on tariffs, which caused ETH to surge back to $1,600. This series of events has left many wondering: Did Trump call his sons to hold onto their assets? I guess not. It’s unclear, but this development adds another layer of complexity to the ongoing narrative of crypto’s relationship with traditional finance.
While the sale of ETH may raise questions, it also highlights the volatility and unpredictability of the crypto market, especially when larger players like World Liberty Financial are involved.
