Bitcoin approaches $97,000

Concerns about tariffs are growing, but the bad smell doesn't seem to affect Bitcoin. The most important cryptocurrency reached $97,000 with a gain of 1% in the last 24 hours, enjoying a favorable position as a trendy safe haven compared to gold, although it is not immune to the bullish fluctuations of risk assets.

Ethereum, ahead of a significant upgrade next week, lost a small amount of value while remaining in the green (+2%) for the week.

Wait, why has Dogecoin risen 1.2% in the last day? Shouldn't it be below 18 cents? Ah, it's that fickle hope for a spot ETF, which eternally grows and fuels optimism, according to social media data ( CoinDesk ).

They already told you... HODL XEC.
Get more and wait. BTTC is the dream of many, just like Lunc, but XEC and AVA is a reality.

The hardest working titles in cryptocurrencies

During two weeks of markets with strong fluctuations, battered by tariffs, BTC rose by 15%. At 7:53 a.m. (EST), BTC, having spent most of the night awake, was at a roadside motel smoking, unshaven, with only thirty dollars difference from a target it could be prouder of if it only got its act together.

Traders are optimistic that this time it’s real, that the United States and China are negotiating. There is a lot at stake. Some large companies, like Apple and GM, sounded the alarm on May 1 about rising production costs related to the trade war. Trump, for his part, has acknowledged that tariffs could make toys less affordable, while raising the idea of two dolls per child per year as a possible representation of a reasonably recalibrated level of demand.

A strengthening of demand for BTC is expected, largely thanks to Strategy (MSTR), the firm of Michael Saylor. The firm, formerly known as MicroStrategy and previously selling business intelligence software, has reinvented itself as a publicly traded vehicle for exposure to BTC and is raising another $21 billion aimed at wholesale purchases, after exhausting the previous $21 billion accumulated. “The injection of this new capital could drive new companies to establish their reserves in BTC,” FXStreet stated.

Meanwhile, Metaplanet, Strategy's Japanese protege, issued $24.7 million in zero-interest bonds to buy more BTC. Metaplanet currently has 5,000 BTC in its reserve.

Oil in April is not so stable

Stock futures rose early in the morning after Microsoft and Meta announced their strong quarterly results. The forecasts from the tech giants suggest that the arms race in AI (as well as related spending) is still in full swing.

Around 8:45 a.m. (EST), the Department of Labor commemorated International Workers' Day by announcing an unexpected increase in unemployment benefit claims. Now, would investors be inclined to consider this disappointing news from the perspective of a rate cut? At the beginning of the session, at 9:30 a.m. (EST), the Dow Jones, the S&P 500, and the Nasdaq soared upward. Bitcoin continued to consolidate its position above $96,000.

It is worth noting, with regret, that oil prices have just recorded their worst month since the peak of the global pandemic. Brent crude futures fell 1.76% yesterday, closing near $63 per barrel, 15% lower than in April, marking the largest drop in 30 days since November 2021. Analysts attribute the lower demand to the ongoing trade war.

Ethereum paves the way for tokenization

Last month, a highly publicized trend in practical use cases, where real assets (stocks, bonds, etc.) are tokenized using blockchain technology, gained momentum. Ethereum is one of the main beneficiaries. Its market share of RWA surged by 20% in April, with the value of tokenized assets on the network reaching $6.2 billion, according to Cointelegraph.

Pilot projects for RWA tokenization have proliferated recently, as Cointelegraph explained, and have involved assets such as real estate, gold, and carbon credits. Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, compared tokenized RWAs to "digital deeds," which can therefore be exchanged instantly.

The Ethereum community believes that this trend is just beginning and that the network will be the go-to port for financial companies exploring RWAs, despite Ethereum's persistent scalability issues.

Regarding Ethereum's leadership, Fink is in full agreement. Fink has stated that "there is no doubt that the blockchain we would start our tokenization on would be Ethereum, and it's not just a BlackRock issue, it's the default natural answer."

Investors, sensing a bailout, bet on risk

Bitcoin reached a low of approximately $93,300 yesterday morning following disappointing economic news in the U.S. What a huge difference each day makes! At 8:10 a.m. (EST), BTC is around $96,000 and some analysts foresee a macroeconomic shift on the horizon.

Risk assets seem to be benefiting now from expectations of an interest rate cut sooner than anticipated, according to James Butterfill, Chief Research Officer at CoinShares. "A disappointing payroll number on Friday could be the final nail in the coffin for [Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome] Powell," Butterfill told CoinDesk.

Bitcoin gained 15% during April. Virtuals Protocol (VIRTUAL), for its part, surged 150% last week. It is gradually approaching $2 (VIRTUAL was valued at $5 in January).

The AI frenzy is in full swing. However, a couple of specific things happened. Binance.US announced on Tuesday the inclusion of VIRTUAL on its list.
And yesterday, the team responsible for the AI agents ecosystem announced an update to a token distribution mechanism designed to boost demand, while also incorporating more experienced developers. In another positive push for the market, according to data from CoinGlass, open interest in futures linked to the spot price of VIRTUAL has just reached $186 million, up from $39 million the previous month (CryptoNews).

While you pursue your dream of becoming a millionaire by betting on a few memecoins, perhaps you could consider the idea of betting on something more, something that has a purpose, something like eCash.

If you don't know, research, and do your own analysis on the matter.

Its price is still low; $60 today could be $28,000 tomorrow if it reaches 1 cent... and perhaps almost $3 million the day after tomorrow if it reaches $1.

Bitcoin developers are divided over the main proposal

A proposal for a technical adjustment that would dramatically alter the way Bitcoin is fundamentally used has caused a rift within the developer community.

If approved, the proposal to "remove OP_RETURN limits" would allow users to store much larger amounts of non-financial data directly on the Bitcoin blockchain, for use in text and images, explained Decrypt. Some community members consider it a necessary advancement.

Bitcoin Core, the primary open-source software that manages the network, should not have to maintain arbitrary limits, stated Peter Todd, the proponent of this controversial proposal. Todd is a developer who has previously been pointed out as a possible Satoshi Nakamoto (which he has denied) and currently argues vigorously that the limits are useless. This is because they are already being circumvented through alternative technical solutions, making them "ineffective and even harmful," he asserted.

But other developers fear that the change could threaten Bitcoin's basic purpose, noted Decrypt.

Jason Hughes, a long-time contributor to Bitcoin Core, is clearly opposed.

He said this on X: "Bitcoin Core developers are about to... turn Bitcoin into a worthless altcoin, and no one seems to care".

Pieter Wuille, a lead developer of Bitcoin, supports the change but also understands the repercussions.

"I am not satisfied with the demand for those [non-essential] transactions," he said. "But I also acknowledge that the demand exists, and the alternative of forcing it to circumvent the public network is much more harmful".

Uh-oh, warns the economist

New statistical evidence of an economic slowdown heightened fears of a recession and pushed U.S. stock futures lower just before the opening on Wednesday. The Dow and the S&P 500 had been positive in recent days.

At 9:20 a.m. (EST), the total of crypto assets rose to $3.04 trillion, a drop of 2.8% in 24 hours. BTC remained stable, while ETH, XRP, SOL, and DOGE fell between 3% and 4%.

According to the Department of Commerce, the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the United States, which reflects the total sum of all goods and services produced in the first quarter, fell at an annualized rate of 0.3%, marking the first quarter of negative growth since the first quarter of 2022.

Some economists, even just a few days ago, were forecasting a positive quarter. But then figures appeared showing a sharp increase in imports, as businesses and consumers tried to get ahead of Trump’s tariffs. Imports subtract from GDP.

“Perhaps part of this negativity is due to the rush to import before tariffs rise, but there’s simply no way to sugarcoat it,” said Chris Rupkey, chief economist at Fwdbonds, to CNBC. “Growth has just evaporated.”

FLOKI singularly surpasses

The last day of April begins in an unsettlingly similar manner to yesterday, with Bitcoin in limbo, clinging to $95,000, while the cryptocurrency market in general slides amid greater macroeconomic uncertainty.

The charts are flooded with red, top to bottom, as if a person with eczema had broken out in hives on their shin, put on an Arsenal uniform, and climbed onto a fire truck.

With one exception: Floki (FLOKI), a four-year token based on Elon Musk's Shiba Inu dog, has risen 7% in the last day to re-enter the Top 100. The spot price of FLOKI is $0.00008906. Its market capitalization is approximately $860 million, making it the 99th token according to CoinGecko. FLOKI has gained more than 60% in the last two weeks. It remains 74% from its all-time high of $0.0003449 reached last June. Among the major memecoins, only Floki is in the positive (CryptoNews).

$BTC The movement of Monero generates scrutiny

The private cryptocurrency Monero (XMR) skyrocketed by up to 40% in the last day, reaching a high of nearly $350 at one point this morning. The volume surged. XMR has not moved much since late March, remaining within a narrow range of $215 to $230.

It seems that the momentum of XMR is under scrutiny. On-chain researcher ZachXBT identified a "suspicious transfer" of 3520 BTC, worth approximately $330 million, exchanged for XMR, a relatively illiquid token. A sudden increase in demand triggered the spike, according to ZachXBT in a post on X ( CoinDesk ).

The trading volume of XMR usually hovers around $50 million on any given day, according to a seven-day moving average. However, during the last day, the volume soared to $220 million, according to CoinDesk.

XMR has a total market capitalization of $4.97 billion, making it the 30th largest digital asset, according to CoinGecko.

As for the rest of the major cryptocurrencies, BTC has risen slightly while ETH remains stable; XRP is significantly outpacing each of them, with a 7% increase in the last 24 hours.

Meanwhile, looking at the shallower end of the pool, we see that the native CSPR of the Casper Network's layer 1 has increased by 56% in the last day. CSPR has a market capitalization of approximately $200 million, making it the 285th largest token. This spike, according to Coinspeaker, comes ahead of the anticipated Casper upgrade scheduled for May 6.

Holding companies are in vogue

Twenty One Capital wants to become a Bitcoin hoarding superpower. Investors are completely interested.

Last Wednesday, Cantor Equity Partners, a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC), announced its merger agreement with Twenty One, a firm backed by Tether Holdings, its subsidiary Bitfinex, and SoftBank Group. As if they had been shot out of a cannon, Cantor SPAC's shares skyrocketed nearly 200% in just a couple of days. The publicly traded entity already has a market capitalization of $12 billion (on a fully diluted basis), or approximately three times the estimated value of the BTC it claims to have in its portfolio.

Investors have driven up the stock prices of publicly traded companies acquiring cryptocurrencies, Bloomberg explains, pointing to Michael Saylor's Strategy, which owns over $50 billion in BTC.

It is also worth noting that Upexi's shares rose 600% after the company said it was privately raising $100 million to acquire Solana.

The proposed deal with Cantor includes a convertible debt issuance following its closing. Some of Strategy's previous BTC purchases have been financed through the sale of convertible debt and preferred stock.

The appetite for Cantor's SPAC "speaks to the demand for these proxy investment vehicles," said KBW analyst Bill Papanastasiou to Bloomberg.

Both retail and institutional traders spent the latter part of last week buying shares of the speculative blank-check company sponsored by Cantor, expecting it to be ready to accumulate BTC, Papanastasiou stated. For speculators, essentially, Papanastasiou added, "it's like betting on the fastest horse to gain exposure to BTC."

Bitcoin Ready to Break Historic Records as Fundamentals Ignite a Massive Rally

Bitcoin is poised to break historic records, as a prominent analyst sees increasing flows, solid fundamentals, and growing investor confidence driving a massive rally.

Willy Woo, a leading on-chain bitcoin analyst, shared an optimistic outlook for BTC on the social platform X on April 27, highlighting a significant shift in market sentiment. Woo stated:

The fundamentals of BTC have turned bullish, it's not a bad setup to break historic records.

Highlighting the strength of recent capital trends, Woo explained: “Capital flows into the network are increasing. Both total and speculative flows have bottomed out, when both align, they combine to create a bullish environment anchored in fundamentals.” Woo's analysis indicated that not only has speculative interest returned, but more importantly, fundamental investment is also strengthening the market.

He elaborated on price targets stating: “Our medium-term targets of 90K and 93K have been reached. The target of 108K remains in place with a new intermediate target of 103K forming.”

According to Woo, reaching these milestones indicates that bitcoin is moving along a strong technical path, supported by the resurgence of liquidity and investor confidence. The analyst closed his outlook with a broader view of the market trajectory. He commented:

BTC is preparing for another breakout of all-time highs if the capital flow trend continues.

“It’s a solid long-term setup. All dips are to buy under the current regime. In the very short term, there are good chances of dips,” he clarified.

Sui, focused on scalability, is stealing the spotlight in DeFi

Sui is stealing the show. The native SUI of the layer 1 network surged 70% last week, reaching $3.75. However, it is worth noting that SUI is still 80% below its all-time high (ATH) of over $5.60 reached about four months ago.

Through "parallel transaction execution," Sui's mission to be as scalable as possible has garnered increasing attention among decentralized finance (DeFi) users (Coinspeaker).

Sui-based DEXs recorded a 177% increase in volume over the past seven days. The total value locked (TVL) in Sui during the same period rose by 38%, reaching $1.64 billion, according to DefiLlama.

SUI is the thirteenth largest digital asset on CoinGecko's list of the largest coins by market capitalization. The market capitalization of SUI approaches $12 billion, just behind Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC), ranked 12th, with $12.1 billion. SUI had gained 23% in the last 24 hours, as of 7:45 AM (EST).

Regarding Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, and the rest of the Big Ten cryptocurrencies, it turns out there has been a slight uptick amidst a whirlwind of unresolved mysteries related to tariffs.

BTC is once again hovering around $94,000. BTC, ETH, and XRP recorded gains of 2% in the last 24 hours. The total cryptocurrency market capitalization has once again surpassed $3 trillion.
