Here's what we've got for you today:

Financial experts believe that by 2030, around 25% of S&P 500 companies could adopt Bitcoin as part of their corporate treasuries.

Elliot Chun predicts that by 2030, around 25% of S&P 500 companies will hold Bitcoin on their balance sheets due to the pressure on treasury managers to capitalize on Bitcoin's potential.
Currently, only Tesla and Block hold Bitcoin among S&P 500 firms. This means that Chun’s forecast will require at least 123 more companies to adopt Bitcoin.
Globally, 89 public companies already hold Bitcoin, with Strategy leading the way. GameStop is also considering adding Bitcoin to its balance sheet after a recent $1.3 billion funding round.

MARA Holdings Inc (MARA) plans to sell up to $2 billion in stock to buy more Bitcoin.

MARA Holdings filed with the SEC to sell up to $2 billion worth of its stock through an at-the-market agreement with firms like Cantor Fitzgerald and Barclays.
The company plans to use the proceeds for general corporate purposes, including buying Bitcoin and boosting working capital.
MARA’s strategy is very similar to that of MicroStrategy, which famously used stock offerings to accumulate more than 506,000 BTC valued at $42.4 billion.

David Pakman predicts that the global stablecoin supply could climb to $1 trillion by the end of 2025.

CoinFund’s David Pakman predicts that the global stablecoin market could grow to $1 trillion in supply by the end of 2025, up from the current $225 billion.
Pakman believes this growth will be a major driver for broader cryptocurrency adoption and the expansion of decentralized finance (DeFi).
He firmly believes that a trillion-dollar stablecoin market will bridge traditional finance and DeFi, unlocking greater liquidity, utility, and yield opportunities.

The hack could be one of the first real-world attacks targeting the transient storage that was introduced during Ethereum’s Dencun hard fork.

Ethereum-based DeFi protocol SIR.trading was hacked on March 30, which resulted in the loss of its entire $355,000 total value locked (TVL).
Blockchain security firms TenArmorAlert and Decurity first detected and reported the hack, and warned users on X.
SIR.trading’s founder, Xatarrer, acknowledged the severity of the attack but indicated plans to continue the project despite the huge loss.
