Bitcoin Price Prediction: Hormuz, Iran War, Oil Price, Metals, and Stocks vs Crypto

Bitcoin price briefly cracked $78,000 yesterday, a level untouched since early February, before pulling back and stabilizing. The catalyst is a two-week U.S.-Iran ceasefire that collapsed crude prices and triggered $427 million in short liquidations, compressing the Strait of Hormuz risk premium that had been suffocating risk assets for months.

Crypto-linked equities outran Bitcoin itself in the recovery. Coinbase, Robinhood, and Strategy each surged at least 25% through Friday’s close, while BTC posted just under 7% gains over the same five trading days. It’s strong in isolation, modest by comparison.

Citi analyst Alex Saunders flagged the dynamic explicitly: “Crypto-equity correlations have strengthened following a recent dip,” with stocks are now pulling crypto up with them.

Meanwhile, Tether resumed BTC accumulation, blockchain data from Arkham Intelligence confirms 951 BTC moved to a wallet labeled “Tether: BTC Reserve,” adding a quiet but significant buy.

Claim1,200 USDT in the Monthly Creation Challenge

Crypto rhetoric has long prized the ability to transact without gatekeepers, to move value across borders without asking permission, and to hold assets no institution could seize.

Crypto culture treated these as design virtues, properties that builders embedded with ethical weight by deliberate architectural choice. Then the Drift exploit happened, and the backlash told a different story.

On Apr. 1, Drift suffered a major exploit. Circle later described the publicly reported losses as exceeding $270 million, while other reports put the figure around $285 million and documented criticism that Circle had not frozen stolen USDC as it moved across its cross-chain rails.

The attacker routed roughly $232 million in USDC from Solana to Ethereum using Circle's Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol. The backlash stemmed from users and observers wanting to know why Circle had not intervened sooner.

Days later, Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino posted that Tether had frozen 3.29 million USDT tied to the Rhea Finance attacker, framing the intervention as proof that “Tether cares.”

Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure Most investors tracking XRP are watching the wrong screen. XRP’s price action has struggled to show the scale of what has been building around Ripple, RLUSD, and the XRP Ledger. The price action is full of red monthly candles while a much broader institutional foundation is being assembled underneath it.That disconnect is what enthusiast X Finance Bull leaned on in a recent post on X. Recent developments from Ripple itself suggest that the claim is not as easy to dismiss as it once was. Ripple’s Story Is Growing Past PaymentsMany XRP community members are looking at ultra-bullish pictures for the cryptocurrency. One of such community members is X Finance Bull, who recently took to the social media platform X to highlight reasons as to why the mass adoption of Ripple, XRP, XRP Ledger, and RLUSD is already here.Related Reading: Pundit Says Stop Analyzing XRP On A Chart, Do This InsteadOne of the key points the analyst highlighted is Ripple’s strategy to build a full end-to-end treasury ecosystem setup. The setup functions as a financial operating layer that integrates with a company’s existing banks, ERP systems, and internal workflows, linking them to digital asset rails without requiring any overhaul of existing infrastructure.Enterprise platforms such as SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, and Workday are all connected through a single API layer referred to as ClearConnect. The same API layer bridges traditional rails (ACH, wire transfers, and SWIFT) with XRP settlement, RLUSD, and Ripple’s brokerage and custody infrastructure.  The most important thing in this treasury ecosystem is that Ripple is growing and no longer pitching itself only as a cross-border payments company. On April 1, Ripple announced native digital asset capabilities inside Ripple Treasury, describing it as the first treasury management system with built-in support for digital assets. RLUSD And Ripple Prime Ar

Market Updates: Circle Sued Over $280M Drift Exploit, Grinex Halts Trading After $13.7M Hack, Public Miners Dump 32K Bitcoin in Q1 A series of major developments has unsettled the crypto sector today, including legal action against Circle Internet Group, a fresh exchange hack, record Bitcoin sales by miners, and the launch of spot crypto trading services by leading brokerage Charles Schwab.

To begin with, Circle Internet Group faces a class action arising from a major breach involving Drift Protocol. The lawsuit, filed in a Massachusetts federal court by investor Joshua McCollum, represents more than 100 affected participants. The case centers on an April 1 breach that resulted in approximately $280 million in losses. According to the complaint, attackers transferred roughly $230 million in USDC across blockchains over several hours. These transactions allegedly used Circle's Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP) to route funds from Solana to Ethereum without interruption.

Cardano Founder Explains Why Midnight and NIGHT Differ Fundamentally From Ripple and XRP

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson contrasts Midnight ($NIGHT) with Ripple and $XRP, arguing that the two models differ fundamentally in how value is created and distributed.

Hoskinson made this known during a recent interview with Wendy O on “The O Show.” His commentary centers on ownership, token utility, and whether network growth directly benefits token holders.

Key Points

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson argues that Midnight ($NIGHT) and $XRP differ fundamentally in value creation and distribution.

He argues Ripple uses $XRP sales to generate capital for external investments and acquisitions, but $XRP holders never benefit from this model.

Hoskinson compares Ripple’s model to Tether’s, where value accrues mainly to a central entity.

His comments have reignited tensions with the $XRP community, raising the prospect of renewed disputes with figures like Brad Garlinghouse.

The Ethereum Foundation exposed 100 Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK)‐linked IT workers embedded across roughly 53 crypto projects.

Ethereum Foundation Levels Up Its Security With A Detective Program

The North Korean secret crypto-agents don’t rest, so the Ethereum Foundation decided it was time they put on the detective’s hat to track them before they too fell victims to them, just as Drift Protocol was at the beginning of the month. And so, yesterday afternoon the Foundation announced on an official blog post the starking results yielded by the ETH Rangers Program (and yes, everything related to North Korean hackers inevitably sounds straight out of an RPG or action movie).

The ETH Rangers Program has wrapped up and the results speak for themselves: $5.8M+ recovered, 785+ vulnerabilities reported, 100+ DPRK operatives identified, and so much more.

A decentralized defence for a decentralized network.

— EF Ecosystem Support Program (@EF_ESP) April 16, 2026

According to the blog post, the Ethereum Foundation teamed up with Secureum, The Red Guild, and Security Alliance (SEAL) in late 2024 to roll out said program. The initiative offered stipends to people carrying out public‐goods security work across the Ethereum ecosystem.

The program’s mission consisted in backing independent security initiatives that strengthen Ethereum’s overall robustness, while spotlighting and rewarding contributors with a proven history of delivering high‐impact security work for the broader network.

After six months, the results of the program speak for itself.
