About this episode

The episode discusses Bitcoin's price movements, Ethereum's transaction records, and the evolving relationship between traditional finance and cryptocurrency.

Bitcoin holds near $74K–$75K after pushing to four-week highs, supported by whale activity and ETF demand amid geopolitical caution. Deutsche Börse makes a major $200M bet on Kraken, signaling deepening TradFi-crypto ties, while Tether launches a self-custodial wallet and backs a $134M raise for stablecoin infrastructure. Ethereum sees record daily transactions, and Iranians ramp up crypto use amid regional tensions. April presales stay active, and Russia eyes stricter rules starting July—markets show cautious consolidation with focus on institutional moves and on-chain strength. Hosted on Acast.
