About this episode

The episode discusses a significant Bitcoin purchase and the current state of the crypto market amidst upcoming options expiry.

Strategy makes a massive $2.54 billion Bitcoin purchase (34,164 BTC), its third-largest ever, as spot Bitcoin ETFs log nearly $1 billion in weekly inflows — the strongest since mid-January. Bitcoin holds near $74K–$75K ahead of today's $7.9 billion April options expiry, which could spark volatility. Global crypto funds attracted $1.4 billion weekly as rebound sentiment grows, while Coinbase expands USDC borrowing to the UK and Polymarket eyes a $400M raise at $15B valuation. Markets show institutional resilience amid macro caution and DeFi liquidity signals—watch the options expiry and ongoing ETF momentum for near-term direction. Hosted on Acast.
