Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure Bitcoin (BTC) is making a strong comeback, snapping back toward the $78,000 area for the first time in more than two months as sentiment improves across global markets.  The move comes as tensions between the United States and Iran appear to have eased, and the Strait of Hormuz has reopened—an event that has also driven oil prices down to around $88. Even though oil has dropped nearly 11% on Friday, crypto has followed a different trajectory. Bitcoin is up about 5% for the day, and both Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL) have posted similar gains. The Catalysts Behind BTC’s ResurgenceCommenting on the market reaction, Matt Mena, senior crypto research strategist at 21Shares, told Bloomberg that the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz is the “risk-on signal” global markets have been waiting for. In his view, removing what he described as one of the most significant geopolitical choke points has helped “uncork” a larger wave of liquidity and investor confidence, supporting demand across risk assets—including digital currencies. Related Reading: Coinbase CPO Predicts CLARITY Act Full-Senate Vote Next MonthBeyond the geopolitical backdrop, several additional catalysts are also being cited by Bloomberg. One notable driver is institutional buying: Strategy (previously MicroStrategy) has acquired $2.6 billion in Bitcoin during the past two weeks. According to Bohan Jiang, a senior derivatives trader at FalconX, this has helped “underpin” the market, providing additional support as prices rebound. Still, investors are now looking for clarity on how far the rally can extend.  What’s Next For Bitcoin?Market analyst Ali Martinez pointed to a key technical level that Bitcoin has repeatedly struggled with: the 100-day simple moving average (SMA). As Martinez noted in a recent

Market Updates: CoinGecko Reports 39% Drop in Q1 CEX Volumes, Arthur Hayes Discloses 90% Bitcoin Position, Key Researcher Josh Stark Exits Ethereum Foundation

A fresh analysis from CoinGecko indicates that the cryptocurrency market has entered a sustained "crypto winter" in the first quarter of 2026, reversing much of the momentum seen in late 2025.

According to the report, total crypto market capitalization declined by more than 20% in Q1 2026. Trading activity also weakened sharply. Spot volumes across the top 10 centralized exchanges dropped to $2.7 tril for Saved down from $4.5 trillion in the previous quarter, a steep 39% decline.

Bitcoin reflected this broader weakness, falling 22% over the same period. This came despite having reached an all-time high of roughly $126,000 six months earlier.

Notably, Bitcoin underperformed traditional equity markets during the same period. The NASDAQ Composite declined 7.1%, while the S&P 500 fell 4.8%, marking their weakest quarterly performance since 2022.

Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure Crypto and financial industry leaders have raised concerns over Elon Musk’s proposed X Money. This includes Senator Elizabeth Warren, a member of the Senate Banking Committee, who warned that the move will threaten financial stability. Senator Elizabeth Warren Questions Elon Musk’s X MoneySenator Warren wrote a letter to Elon Musk in which she raised concerns about the proposed April launch for the payments platform, X Money. She stated that developments around the launch of the payments platform raise significant consumer, financial stability, and national security concerns.  Related Reading: Elon Musk Has Confirmed When X Money Will Be Available, But Do You Know What To Expect?As part of these concerns, the senator noted that X Money may partner with Cross River Bank, which was subject to a serious enforcement action by the FDIC in 2023 for unsafe and unsound practices. She also highlighted X Money’s preview materials, which suggest that users can earn up to 6% APY on deposit accounts. Warren said it is unclear what risky investments they plan to pursue to earn this yield when the Federal funds rate is at 3.75%. Senator Warren also raised concerns over X’s record of allowing sanctioned individuals like Hezbollah and the Houthis to purchase verified accounts and raise funds through the platform. She added that there have also been systemic failures to address child sexual abuse material, data privacy violations, and widespread fraud by verified users. Meanwhile, the senator warned about Musk’s potential role in shaping the regulatory environment for his own financial product, as X Money may include stablecoin issuance. She alluded to the GENIUS Act, which Warren noted includes a “suspicious carveout” that enables companies like X to issue a stabl

XRP Price Volatility Falls to Multi-Year Lows, Setting Up a Potential Major Move

XRP price is trading just above $1.40, pinned in a $1.30-$1.45 range with almost nothing happening and that's exactly what makes this setup worth watching.

The asset's 30-day Realized Volatility Index has collapsed to approximately 0.42, its lowest reading since 2024, a quantifiable compression that historically precedes sharp directional moves rather than continued silence.

The price sounds stable until you frame it against where XRP came from.
