New SEC Chair Paul Atkins Promises Clear Crypto Rules
Newly appointed SEC Chairman Paul Atkins has pledged to create a principled and transparent regulatory framework for digital assets. Speaking at the White House alongside President Donald Trump, Atkins emphasized removing politics from SEC decisions and focusing on structure rather than enforcement.
His appointment signals a shift from former Chair Gary Genslerās enforcement-led approach, which critics said hindered innovation. Atkins, who previously served as an SEC Commissioner and has been active in crypto policy since 2017, aims to position the U.S. as a global crypto leader.
Industry figures like Michael Saylor praised the move, while Senator Elizabeth Warren raised concerns over Atkins' ties to Wall Street. $SOL $XRP $DOGE
#MarketRebound Markets bounced back after recent lows, driven by positive earnings, easing inflation concerns, and renewed investor confidence. Tech and banking sectors led the recovery.
Crypto surges past key benchmarks amid renewed investor optimism and easing trade tensions.
Key Highlights:
Bitcoin's market capitalization has reached $1.86 trillion, surpassing Google and making it the fifth-largest asset globally.
The cryptocurrency broke past $94,000, boosted by easing U.S.āChina trade tensions and a broader tech market rally.
Bitcoin outperformed the Nasdaq, signaling a major technical breakout across traditional and digital asset classes.
Bitcoin (BTC) has reached a historic milestone, overtaking Google in market capitalization to become the worldās fifth-largest asset. With its market cap climbing to $1.86 trillion, Bitcoin is trading above $94,000āmarking a major rebound and turning positive for the year.
The surge comes amid a wave of optimism driven by softening trade tensions between the U.S. and China. As global risk appetite grows, tech stocks and crypto have rallied in tandem, with Nasdaq futures up by 2%.
Bitcoinās latest rise also signifies a technical breakout, pushing past resistance levels identified earlier in the week. Importantly, BTC has not only surged in dollar terms but has also hit record highs relative to the Nasdaq, reinforcing its growing dominance among major global assets.
While Bitcoin previously reached a market cap above $2 trillion when trading over $109,000, this current ranking marks its highest relative position, as many tech stocks have yet to regain their prior valuations.
With momentum building and broader market sentiment turning bullish, Bitcoin's position among the worldās leading assets signals a pivotal moment in the evolving financial landscape.
Bitcoin, Ether Rally as Investor Optimism Grows on Trade Hopes and Fed Stability
Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) saw strong price gains on Tuesday, driven by renewed optimism over a U.S.-China trade deal and reassurances from President Trump about Federal Reserve stability. BTC surged 6.79% to nearly $94,000, while ETH jumped 11% to $1,175 ā both posting their best single-day performances in weeks.
The rally was backed by a sharp rise in open interest in perpetual futures ā up 10% for BTC ($17.83B) and 16% for ETH ($6.6B) ā signaling growing investor confidence. Most of the new positions were long, especially on exchanges like Binance, Bybit, OKX, and Deribit.
Moderately positive funding rates (5ā10% annualized) indicate traders are willing to pay to hold bullish positions, confirming a strong market sentiment. The move was likely accelerated by a short squeeze, as funding rates flipped from negative to positive within 24 hours.
Overall, the surge in prices, open interest, and funding rates points to sustained bullish momentum for BTC and ETH. $BTC $ETH $PEPE
Bitcoin surged past $93,000, rising nearly 7% on Tuesday, fueled by renewed optimism over U.S.-China trade relations. President Trump announced tariffs on China would "come down substantially" from the current 145%, while Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent called the current standoff āunsustainable,ā suggesting de-escalation may come soon.
The CoinDesk 20 Index rose 7% as altcoins followed BTC higherāEthereum (ETH) jumped 8% above $1,700, Dogecoin (DOGE) gained 8.6%, and SUI soared 11.7%. Stocks also rebounded, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq up over 2.5%, while gold dropped 1% from record highs.
Despite the rally, CryptoQuant warned of underlying weakness. On-chain data shows BTC demand down by 146,000 coins in 30 days, and investor interest is at its lowest since October 2024. USDT growth also lags historical bullish thresholds.
Bitcoin faces resistance between $91Kā$92K, a zone thatās acted as a ceiling in bearish markets. Analysts caution that unless liquidity and sentiment improve, a pause or pullback may follow. $BTC $ETH $BNB

#SHIBAš Shiba Inu Could Surge 200%, Says Analyst
A veteran analyst, MMB Trader, predicts a potential 200% rise in Shiba Inu (SHIB), pointing to strong historical support at the $0.00001 level. Currently trading at $0.00001252, SHIB has recently bounced off this key support zone, similar to major rallies in 2021 and 2024.
MMB Traderās chart analysis suggests SHIB could reach $0.000037 if it breaks past the next resistance at $0.00002562. In the past, SHIB surged over 1,000% in 2021 and nearly 400% in 2024 after hitting similar support levels.
Another trader, Lars Kooistra, has also taken a long position on SHIB, citing accumulation signals on higher timeframes that hint at a bullish breakout.
Supporting this outlook, data from IntoTheBlock shows an increase in long-term holders (+2.07%) and a decline in short-term traders (-16.78%), indicating growing investor confidence in SHIBās future. $DOGE $SHIB $XRP
The European Central Bank (ECB) and the European Commission are at odds over the adequacy of the EU's new crypto regulation, MiCA, in light of growing U.S. support for stablecoins under President Trump. The ECB warns that a surge in dollar-backed stablecoins could destabilize Europeās economy by shifting capital toward the U.S., calling MiCA too weak to counter the threat.
The ECB is especially concerned about the āmulti-issuanceā model and wants urgent revisions to MiCA. Standard Chartered projects U.S. stablecoins could reach $2 trillion by 2028, intensifying ECB fears.
In contrast, the European Commission defends MiCA, arguing it already provides strong safeguards, including ECB powers to block harmful issuers. It says itās too early to judge the impact of U.S. policy changes.
Meanwhile, ECB Chief Economist Philip Lane underscores the need for a digital euro to protect Europeās monetary sovereignty and counter U.S. payment dominance. $BNB $USDC
#XRPDonationsUSElections # Rippleās XRP Donation Ranks Second-Largest in Trumpās Inauguration Fund
New FEC filings confirm Rippleās $4.89 million donation in XRP was the second-largest contribution to Donald Trumpās inauguration fund, trailing only behind Pilgrimās $5 million. Overall, Trump raised a record $245 million for his second inaugurationāmore than double his 2017 figure and four times what Biden raised.
The crypto sector collectively contributed $18 million, with Ripple leading the pack. Other notable crypto donors included Robinhood ($2M), Circle, Coinbase, Galaxy Digital, Solana Labs, and others ($1M each).
Rippleās support extended beyond the event, with its chairman donating $1M in XRP to Kamala Harris, and Chief Legal Officer Stuart Alderoty contributing over $500K in XRP to Trump.
The industryās support reflects a shift toward Trump due to his pro-crypto stance, especially after regulatory hostility under the Biden administration. Trump has since appointed Paul Atkins as SEC Chair, and lawsuits against firms like Coinbase and Ripple have been paused as settlements are explored. $XRP $SOL $DOGE
#Xrpš„š„ Analyst āPapaā Predicts XRP Surge to $14 Despite Current Pullback
Market analyst āPapaā remains bullish on XRP, predicting a breakout to $14 based on historical patterns and Fibonacci extensions, despite the tokenās recent dip from $2.24 to $2.04. Drawing parallels to XRPās 2017 surge, where it gained over 7,800% before consolidating and rallying again, Papa sees a similar setup forming now. XRP has risen 578% from $0.50 to $3.39 since November 2024 but is now consolidating in a parallel channel. A breakout above $3 could mirror the 2017 rally. Other analysts also support the $14 target, citing technical and macro trends.
Bitcoin (BTC) surged past $88,000, nearing the 200-day SMA ($88,238). A breakout could fuel a rally to $95,000 and possibly $100,000. Support lies at the 20-day EMA ($84,176); a drop below it could pull BTC down to $78,500.
S&P 500 (SPX) faced resistance at the 20-day EMA (5,399). If 5,119 support holds, the index may range between 5,119 and 5,500. A break below 5,119 could lead to 4,950.
US Dollar Index (DXY) plunged below 98, with support at 97.50. Resistance lies between 99ā100.27. A move above 100.27 could indicate a short-term reversal.
Ether (ETH) is attempting a rebound. Resistance is expected between $1,754 and $1,846. A breakout above could target $2,111ā$2,600. A drop below $1,368 would be bearish.
XRP slightly recovered above the 20-day EMA ($2.09), facing resistance at the 50-day SMA ($2.21). A drop below $2 could lead to $1.72 or $1.61.
BNB broke out of a downtrend, eyeing $645 and potentially $680. Bears need to pull the price below $566 to regain control.
Solana (SOL) is nearing the $148ā$153 resistance zone. A breakout could push it to $180, while failure may keep it range-bound between $120ā$153.
Dogecoin (DOGE) is hovering around its 20-day EMA ($0.16), showing reduced selling pressure.
Cardano (ADA) is holding above the 20-day EMA ($0.63), aiming for the 50-day SMA ($0.69). A breakout may lead to $0.83ā$1.03; below $0.58 turns bearish.
Chainlink (LINK) climbed above the 20-day EMA and hit the 50-day SMA ($13.63). If broken, it could rally toward $16. Support lies at $12.90 and $11.68.
Dogecoin has surged 7%, breaking key technical levels and testing a resistance trendline near $0.1680. The rally, fueled by a Morning Star pattern and five bullish candles, has pushed prices above the 50 and 100 EMAs. A breakout above this resistance could send DOGE to $0.20āa potential 25% upside. However, a dip below $0.15 remains possible if momentum fades.
Derivatives data shows rising optimism: open interest is up 3.74% to $1.67B, and long positions now exceed shorts, signaling bullish sentiment. However, a $15M DOGE token unlock between April 21ā28 may pressure the rally by increasing supply.
Despite this, the broader market recovery and growing hype in the meme coin sector keep Dogecoinās breakout hopes alive. $DOGE $XRP
Jake Claver, Managing Director of Digital Ascension Group, revealed he is solely investing in XRP due to its potential as a bridge currency for global high-value payments. In a post on X, Claver shared an infographic showing XRP at the center of the Interledger Protocol, connecting traditional financial networks (like SEPA, Fedwire, and Zengin) with modern platforms (Amazon, Microsoft, SAP, etc.).
The graphic suggests XRP could enable fast, low-cost cross-border transactions, bypassing traditional systems like SWIFT. However, critics note that the Interledger Protocol is blockchain-agnostic and doesnāt require XRP, and no major institution has officially adopted the setup shown.
Despite skepticism and ongoing legal issues between Ripple and the SEC, Claver remains optimistic. His investment is likely influenced by Rippleās tech potential and his firmās ties with Ripple partner Standard Custody & Trust. He emphasized this is a personal strategy, not investment advice.

Banking giants Standard Chartered and Deutsche Bank are reportedly planning to expand their crypto operations in the U.S., signaling renewed interest amid a more favorable regulatory climate. According to the Wall Street Journal, the shift is driven by growing national acceptance of digital assets and regulatory reforms under President Donald Trump, who has branded himself as the āBitcoin President.ā
Following past hesitations due to major crypto collapses like FTX and Terra, the recent push for crypto and stablecoin regulations, including a proposed national crypto reserve, is easing barriers for banks.
At the same time, crypto firms like Circle, BitGo, Coinbase, and Paxos are exploring banking charters to deepen integration with traditional finance. Anchorage Digital remains the only U.S. crypto firm with such a charter, granted in 2021 after a costly regulatory process. $BTC $SOL $XRP
