Six months ago, when Bitcoin was sitting at $65K, sentiment was neutral. Now, it's $80K+, and people are acting like the sky is falling. What changed? Not much - just recency bias, which is our brain focusing on what happened recently and forgetting the bigger picture. Which is: Institutions are bullish on BTC; Regulatory clarity is advancing more than ever before; Bitcoin's becoming a macro asset. In short: take a deep breath, touch some grass, zoom out, and be patient 🧘

ETH flatlines, but Pectra could spark a revival Ethereum’s price performance lately has been layer-2’d. With the ETH/BTC ratio in five-year lows, media reports that activity is increasingly migrating to layer-2 solutions, drawing attention away from the main chain. However, Ethereum’s upcoming major upgrade could help shift momentum and restore balance within the ecosystem. The Pectra upgrade, now tentatively set for April 30, promises smoother UX and dev workflows, merging the best of Prague and Electra into one streamlined package. With the testnet phase finally finalized on Hoodi, Ethereum’s core developers are back on track. ETH may be down, but it’s not out. If Pectra delivers, the narrative could flip fast. Does still fundamentals matter?

-Inflation is rising faster than expected; -Consumer confidence dropped to its lowest level in 12 years; -GS raised its odds of a recession within the next year from 20% to 35%. Needless to say, people are nervous. Matter of fact, the US Economic Policy Uncertainty Index is 80%, higher than it was in the 2008 crisis. Now, some people believe Bitcoin is an inflation hedge, so they're not too worried. But in reality, crypto is still heavily affected by how the overall economy feels. And right now, it's feeling messy.

It’s tariff week, my dudes. And the mess you’re seeing is the market preparing for it. On Wednesday, Donald Trump's gonna announce more import taxes on top of the ones that are already in place or have been announced. Here's what's already live: 25% on all steel and aluminum; 25% on most Canadian goods, plus a 10% on Canadian energy; 25% on all imports from Mexico; 20% on a bunch of Chinese goods. Here's what's going live this week: 25% on all imported cars; 25% on all countries that buy Venezuelan oil. So, what’s coming on Wednesday? No one knows exactly, but Trump reportedly wants to hit every country with more tariffs and then just, quote, “see what happens.” Of course, other countries aren’t just gonna sit there and smile. It seems like we're going into a tariffs on tariffs on tariffs type of situation (= a global trade war).

Stablecoins: The Next Big Boom? Stablecoins are quietly becoming one of crypto's most significant growth stories: Circulating supply has surged by $1B in a single day and over $7B in the past month Stablecoin supply has increased more than 15% since the start of 2025 Trump's World Liberty Financial introduces USD1, a treasury-backed stablecoin on Ethereum and BSC Wyoming partners with LayerZero to develop WYST, a state-issued stablecoin deploying on 7 testnets This growth is further boosted by the current administration's focus on stablecoins as a method to strengthen the US dollar. However, retail investment opportunities in this sector remain limited, with most stablecoin projects still operating as private companies.

HYPERLIQUID The moral of the story: Decentralized perps can get really crazy - one trader can push the whole system to its limits. Hyperliquid reacted fast and saved the vault - but it also left people wondering: How decentralized is "decentralized" when things go the wrong way?..

Fed's Friday Announcement Could Send Bitcoin To The Moon The crypto market has its eyes fixed on Friday. Why? The US Bureau of Economic Analysis is about to release its Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) report - and it might just be the spark that sends Bitcoin soaring. This isn't just another economic report. According to Singapore-based QCP Group, this PCE print could become "the next key catalyst" for Bitcoin and other risk assets. It coincides with quarterly options expiry, where the highest open interest sits in strikes above $100K. Bitcoin's price has taken a 14% hit since Trump first announced tariffs on Chinese goods back in January. But Trump has recently signaled that trading partners might secure exemptions. But with global trade tensions still looming, will this inflation report really be enough to trigger Bitcoin's legendary April performance?

Tether's Audit After years of controversy, Tether is finally taking a step that could change everything. The stablecoin giant is seeking a full audit from one of the "Big Four" accounting firms – something they've never done before. CEO Paolo Ardoino has declared this a "top priority" and suggested the process would be streamlined under the pro-crypto Trump administration. The move comes amid growing concerns about Tether's massive $118 billion in claimed reserves.

The Secret Whale Activity Behind Ethereum's Next Move Ethereum's taken a brutal 51% hit since December. But something curious is happening beneath the surface. While most traders are panicking, the biggest ETH holders are quietly accumulating. Addresses with 10k-100k ETH have been steadily buying while everyone else sells. This whale activity started picking up in early March, with a significant jump in wallets holding at least $100k worth of ETH.

Beyond the Fed drama, something else has been brewing beneath the surface—stablecoin supply has been surging since November 2024. Normally, that would signal more liquidity for the market (aka more fuel for prices to rise), but here’s the catch: it’s not benefiting investors as expected. Why? While the total supply has increased, stablecoin reserves on spot exchanges have declined, whereas reserves on derivatives exchanges are on the rise. This suggests that current price movements are being driven more by derivatives trading than actual spot buying. In other words, the issue isn’t a lack of liquidity—it’s a lack of genuine buying demand. If that doesn’t change, brace for more volatility in the near term.

Institutions are coming In times like these, there’s always gotta be someone that delivers our daily dose of hopium. That “someone” today: EY-Parthenon and Coinbase. They surveyed decision-makers at 352 companies worldwide and came back with this fun conclusion: crypto's going mainstream.

Is Altcoin dead? Bitcoin's quiet takeover plan is working. While everyone's been distracted by new tokens popping up, Bitcoin's market dominance has been steadily climbing since 2023. That magical "altseason" we all used to count on? It might be going extinct. BTC dominance is hovering around 61.6%, and it even touched 64.3% in February. When market uncertainty hits, altcoins take the hardest fall while Bitcoin stands its ground. What's different this time? Those shiny new ETFs are siloing billions in capital that used to flow into altcoins during previous cycles.

Europe vs Trump A top European Central Bank official just claimed Trump's pro-crypto policies are "sowing the seeds" of a potential global financial crisis. François Villeroy de Galhau argued that financial disasters "often originate in the United States" and suggested Trump's approach "risks sinning through negligence." Meanwhile, the ECB is charting its own blockchain course with a digital payments infrastructure that could eventually birth a European CBDC. The confrontation highlights a growing philosophical divide. While America races to embrace digital assets, European officials are raising red flags about systemic risks.

Exhibit A: Hayden Davis Hayden Davis—behind MELANIA and LIBRA memecoins, endorsed by Melania Trump and Javier Milei. Both? Shameless rug pulls. Memecoin scams aren’t new, but when world leaders get involved, it’s a bigger problem. Regulators took notice—New York lawmakers proposed a bill against crypto fraud, and Argentina sought an Interpol Red Notice for Davis. You’d think he’d stop. Nope. Exhibit B: WOLF Memecoin Davis is back, this time with WOLF, riding rumors of a Jordan Belfort token. Turns out, 82% of its supply was controlled by one entity. The result? A 99% crash in two days. Lesson: Stop the Scammers As long as people fall for them, scams will keep happening. Before jumping into the next memecoin, do your research.

Ethereum's Gas Fee Miracle Ethereum's gas fees have plummeted by a staggering 95% since the Dencun upgrade. Remember when a simple token swap would cost you $86? Now that same transaction costs just $0.39. NFT sales that used to drain $145 from your wallet now only require $0.65. This dramatic drop stems from the Dencun upgrade, which enhanced Ethereum's scalability and significantly reduced transaction costs for layer-2 networks. But why isn't the technical progress translating to price action?
