[KR KOL Index] Apr 22 | Top Trending Topics on Global & KR Timelines

The phrase “80,000 blocks left until the Bitcoin halving” spread rapidly across crypto communities, refocusing attention on the Bitcoin cycle. Alongside this, reports of additional BTC buying by Michael Saylor’s “Strategy” and Asia-based Metaplanet increasing its holdings were repeatedly shared, consolidating the day’s core narrative around “cycle event + corporate demand.” Mentions in Alpha channels that Vivek Ramaswamy bought an additional 2,000 BTC further reinforced the accumulation storyline among both individuals and corporates.

On the altcoin side, Ethereum-related discussion stood out. News tied to BitMine (Tom Lee/Fundstrat) drew strong reactions: posts claimed BitMine purchased an additional 15,112 ETH last week, bringing total holdings to 6.02 million ETH (about 4.9% of total supply), with “5%” cited as a target. This coincided with a broader RWA (tokenization) narrative, including an RWAFoundation analysis suggesting Ethereum holds 53% share of tokenized assets and stablecoins, and commentary that BlackRock’s tokenization participation increases legitimacy—often used to support medium-to-long-term ETH demand expectations.

Expectations of a friendlier U.S. regulatory environment also circulated. Watcher Guru shared that the U.S. Treasury withdrew a proposed surveillance rule targeting unhosted wallets and mixers, which was interpreted as a regulatory easing signal. Meanwhile, Alpha channels highlighted macro volatility: Bank of America commentary describing U.S. Treasuries as being in their worst stretch in 10 years, along with headlines about renewed Treasury selling and rising yields. Community takes diverged between a “bond weakness → preference for alternative assets” frame and caution that macro instability could increase risk-asset volatility.

Regional and geopolitical topics surfaced as well. In Russia, posts noted Sberbank applying for “digital depository institution” status, and T-Technologies group affiliates submitting documents to the Russian central bank related to access for operating in the crypto market. Separately, geopolitical risk increased in conversation: Zelenskyy alleged Russia attacked a Turkish merchant vessel and reports claimed a ship sank in the Black Sea after drone strikes. Iran-related mentions included reports of a closed-door security meeting by Trump’s team, Iran’s interior minister traveling to Doha for talks, and remarks about preparing a “new surprise,” all contributing to renewed focus on Middle East risk.

Overall, top-ranked content for the day was driven by the halving countdown and corporate/institutional accumulation (Strategy, Metaplanet, BitMine), while also bundling in regulatory easing signals and macro (Treasury market) and geopolitical variables into a single situational overview.
