Strategy shares surge above $170 amid Bitcoin price Strategy Inc., the company formerly known as MicroStrategy that has essentially become a publicly traded Bitcoin fund, saw its stock price climb near $170 on April 17. That’s a 15% daily jump that pushed shares decisively above the $160 level for the first time in weeks.
The move comes as Bitcoin itself recovers from a bruising dip to roughly $74K earlier this month. For a stock with a beta of 3.56 relative to Bitcoin, meaning it tends to amplify $BTC’s moves by more than three times, the rebound was predictably dramatic.

Grinex, a Kyrgyzstan-based crypto exchange with reported links to Russia and previously sanctioned networks, has abruptly suspended trading and withdrawals following a large-scale cyberattack.
According to its official statement, hackers siphoned off approximately 1 billion rubles (around $13 million in crypto assets) by exploiting vulnerabilities in the platform’s infrastructure. The exchange has since paused operations and filed a formal complaint with law enforcement authorities.
In its public response, Grinex claimed the attack showed signs of “unfriendly state” involvement, suggesting it may have been conducted with the resources of foreign intelligence services. The company framed the incident not just as a security breach, but as part of a broader form of economic conflict.
Blockchain analysts and prior investigations have described Grinex—launched in 2025—as a successor to Garantex, a Moscow-based exchange previously sanctioned by the U.S. and European authorities for alleged involvement in illicit transactions and sanctions evasion.
The platform has reportedly facilitated trading in rubles, USDT, and the A7A5 stablecoin, which is believed to be tied to Russian financial infrastructure and used in sanctions-affected capital flows.
On-chain investigators noted that stolen funds were quickly converted into assets such as TRX and dispersed across multiple wallets, likely to reduce exposure to stablecoin freezes and improve obfuscation. Some forensic firms also suggest overlaps with related platforms and wallet structures, indicating a broader ecosystem rather than an isolated exploit.
Grinex, however, maintains that the attack involved “unprecedented capabilities” typically associated with state-level actors and argues it may be part of a coordinated effort targeting Russia-linked financial channels.

The Total Altcoin Market Cap is still hovering at support. It has been sitting here for over 2 months now.

The recent push on $BTC didn't really see the same kind of action on most alts. This is because it is likely primarily bid by Strategy and its $STRC raise. Which obviously benefits Bitcoin the most.

Ripple tokenized bond pilot with Kyobo Life Insurance, one of South Korea’s largest insurers, targets near real-time government bond settlement using Ripple Custody, replacing a process that currently takes two days to settle. Summary Ripple and Kyobo Life Insurance announced on April 15 Korea’s first blockchain-based government bond settlement pilot, compressing the standard T+2 cycle to near real-time using Ripple Custody. Kyobo Life, with over $92 billion in assets, becomes the first Tier-1 Korean insurer to adopt on-chain bond infrastructure, with plans to also explore RLUSD stablecoin payment rails. The deal does not create direct XRP demand today as it uses Ripple Custody rather than ODL, but XRP still rallied 6% to $1.42 on Thursday, emerging as the top gainer among the top-10 assets. Ripple tokenized bond pilot with Kyobo Life Insurance, announced April 15, marks Korea’s first institutional attempt to settle government bonds on blockchain infrastructure. The deal targets the standard two-day settlement window that has long defined fixed-income markets, compressing it to near real-time through Ripple Custody, the company’s bank-grade digital asset custody platform. Kyobo Life, a Tier-1 Korean insurer managing over $92 billion in assets, is the first major insurance institution in the country to adopt this model. What the Pilot Actually Does Ripple Custody acts as the infrastructure layer, handling the holding, transfer, and settlement of tokenized Korean government bonds on-chain. Both the bond and the payment leg settle simultaneously on a single ledger, eliminating the counterparty risk that accumulates during a standard multi-day settlement cycle and freeing up capital that would otherwise sit idle. Kyobo Life will also explore stablecoin-based payment rails through Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin, which is already listed on Korean exchange Coinone, en

$BTC Has broken out of its range it traded in for 2 months.

Price is still yet to push above the March high at $76K. Doing that would set this up for a move to close that CME gap at ~$84K later on.

This is now the 5th breakout above the range, all the other ones got slammed down within 1-2 days. All the bulls need to do is prevent that from happening again.

Popular Layer-1 Blockchain Project Prepares to Partner with South Korean Financial Companies! Here Are the Details

Sui, a Layer 1 blockchain project, has identified South Korea as a priority market in its Asian growth strategy. The project aims to expand collaborations with financial institutions and major technology companies once the regulatory framework in the country becomes clearer.

Sui officials emphasize that achieving clarity, particularly regarding stablecoin regulations, is a critical threshold. Accordingly, the project positions the development of a stablecoin pegged to the South Korean won and the launch of Bitcoin-based financial products as strategic priorities.

These steps are expected to both expand the local user base and accelerate the integration between traditional finance and blockchain technologies.

South Korea is considered one of the leading markets globally in terms of cryptocurrency adoption and trading volumes. Therefore, Sui’s move towards the region is seen as part of an effort to gain a stronger position in the highly competitive Asian market.

The project is also continuing its efforts to grow the developer ecosystem. In this context, it was stated that various initiatives are planned to promote the adoption of Move, Sui’s native programming language, by a wider developer community. Move, with its focus on security and efficiency, offers an alternative infrastructure for programmers who want to develop blockchain applications.

According to experts, Sui’s South Korea-focused expansion strategy could accelerate and pave the way for new partnerships depending on regulatory developments in the region.

Analyst Issues Bullish Warning for Bitcoin (BTC)! "Expect This Level Within One or Two Months!"

The leading cryptocurrency, Bitcoin ($BTC), is trading around $74,600 after a strong week.

Analysts say the rally has stalled ahead of the expiration of the two-week ceasefire agreement between the US and Iran next week.

However, one analyst predicts that Bitcoin could rise to $125,000 in the coming months.

Speaking to Coindesk, ZeroStack CEO Daniel Reis-Faria stated that perpetual interest rates on Bitcoin are extremely negative, which could trigger a significant price increase.

Noting that Bitcoin's perpetual term funding rates are quite negative, the analyst said, "this indicates that investors are heavily shorting, expecting a decline."

According to the analyst, this increases the likelihood of a sharp short squeeze that could push the Bitcoin price towards $125,000 in the coming months.

Bitcoin rises past $76,000, aiming at major breakout as oil plunges on Iran cooldown



The price of bitcoin has again pushed above $76,000 alongside about a 10% plunge in the price of crude oil on an apparent reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.

"The passage for all commercial vessels through Strait of Hormuz is declared completely open for the remaining period of ceasefire," said Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi in an X posting.

The news sent the price of WTI crude oil down nearly 10% to $85.90 per barrel, about its lowest price since shortly after the outbreak of the war in early March.

Alongside bitcoin has risen to $76,400, up 3 over the past 24 hours. U.S. stock index futures are higher by about 1% across the board.

Why the $76,000 area is important

Bitcoin was trading around the $76,000-$78,000 level in the days before the Feb. 5 crash that sent its price tumbling all the way back to $60,000. In recent days, BTC has risen above $76,000 on numerous occasions, only to be met with a wave of quick selling.

Technicians believe that a sustained break to around $77,000 could set the stage for a return to significantly higher levels.
