BTC vs Markets – April 26, 2025
Bitcoin Breaks Out—Back in the Game!
After weeks of treading water, Bitcoin surged past $95,000—up 12% this week—driven by improved economic signals and easing trade fears. Big players like banks and sovereign funds are buying in, even as retail investors exit ETFs.
New heavyweight Twenty One Capital made waves, entering the scene with a jaw-dropping 42,000 BTC—backed by Tether, Bitfinex, and SoftBank.
Bitcoin is now the 5th largest financial asset globally, leapfrogging Google.
The broader market is rallying too: the CoinDesk 20 jumped 10%+, and options markets show rising investor confidence.
Not all launches soared—$ZORA stumbled out the gate, highlighting growing skepticism around flashy investor-backed tokens.
Still, crypto culture is thriving. Peaky Blinders unveiled a Web3 game, while stablecoins surged: Circle is launching a global payments network, and Coinbase now offers zero-fee swaps for PayPal’s PYUSD.
Bottom line: Bitcoin is leading the charge, and stablecoins are solidifying crypto's mainstream role. The bull run might just be back.
