Bitcoin climbed to $74,935 in Asian hours Thursday, up 0.7% over 24 hours and 5.4% on the week, as U.S. equities closed at record highs on reports the U.S. and Iran had reached an "in principle" agreement to extend negotiations past next week's April 7 ceasefire expiry.

The S&P 500 finished up 0.8% and the Nasdaq 100 gained 1.4%, both all-time highs, capping a two-week rally from late March lows.

Ether led major tokens, up 8.1% on the week to $2,360, extending the outperformance against bitcoin that emerged earlier this week. XRP gained 3.6% to $1.41, dogecoin rose 4.8% to $0.098, and solana added 2.2% to $85.

The equity rally is running ahead of what other markets are willing to confirm. Long-end Treasury yields barely moved. Gold held near $4,800. Brent crude ticked up to $95 as the U.S. pressed ahead with a naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, which remains effectively closed.

"Stocks are basically expressing their view that the war in the Persian Gulf is all but over," Steve Sosnick, chief strategist at Interactive Brokers, wrote in a note.

Crypto's derivatives desks aren't pricing the same conviction. QCP Capital wrote in a Telegram broadcast on Wednesday that bitcoin's rally is spot-led rather than part of a broader re-risking.

Funding rates on bitcoin perpetuals are still negative and open interest has softened, suggesting shorts are leaning against the move rather than capitulating. Front-end implied volatility remains muted, one-month vol is trading below three-month, and 30-day 25-delta risk reversals still show more demand for downside protection than upside exposure.

Put simply, options markets are pricing caution even as spot rallies. The cost of bitcoin options expiring in the next few weeks is unusually calm for a real breakout, and traders are still paying up for protection against a drop rather than betting on more upside. That's the signature of a bounce, not a trend change.

ASML Holding N.V. lifted its full-year 2026 revenue forecast after the Dutch semiconductor equipment giant surpassed first-quarter profit and sales expectations. The results were fueled by accelerating AI-driven chip demand, though tightening export restrictions on China continue to weigh on the company's longer-term outlook.Shares edged up roughly 1% following the announcement. ASML now projects 2026 net sales between €36 billion and €40 billion, raised from the previous range of €34 billion to €39 billion. The new guidance straddles the €37.68 billion analyst consensus. For the second quarter, the company forecasts revenue of €8.4 billion to €9 billion, with a midpoint slightly below the €9.04 billion market estimate.First-quarter net income came in at €2.76 billion, topping the €2.54 billion consensus estimate, while total net sales reached €8.77 billion against an expected €8.5 billion. Gross margin improved to 53%, up from 52.2% in the prior quarter, with basic earnings per share at €7.15.CEO Christophe Fouquet credited the semiconductor industry's strengthening growth trajectory to sustained AI infrastructure investment, noting that chip demand is outpacing supply and prompting customers to fast-track capacity expansion plans. Memory chips made up 51% of new tool sales in the quarter, with South Korean chipmakers Samsung and SK Hynix driving much of that growth.South Korea represented 45% of quarterly sales, followed by Taiwan at 23%. Meanwhile, China's share dropped to 19% from 36% in the previous quarter amid escalating export control pressures. Proposed U.S. legislation targeting ASML's deep ultraviolet machines could further restrict Chinese sales.Wall Street analysts remain split — Jefferies flagged potential valuation headwinds, while BofA Securities maintained a buy rating citing rising EUV capacity and improving earnings potential heading into

Ice Open Network News: CEO Cuts Monthly Costs by 89%, Promises New Product Launch in 8 Weeks

Ice Open Network’s CEO published a detailed update on Wednesday outlining dramatic cost cuts and a new strategic direction, two days after the project came close to announcing a full shutdown following the ION token crash.

Monthly operating costs have been reduced from approximately $400,000 to $45,000, an 89% cut achieved in 48 hours. The CEO described it as moving fast and cutting deep, keeping only what is essential.

“A good idea means nothing if execution is too slow,” the CEO wrote. “That is the lesson we are taking forward.”

What Changes Immediately

The company is now primarily a development team. Non-essential staff, overhead and side projects have been removed. The CEO said he will personally join the development effort to accelerate the timeline.

To fund operations, the company will activate an automatic daily sale of $1,500 worth of ION tokens from its treasury of just over 1 billion ION. The CEO acknowledged this was not an easy decision but described it as the practical path to keeping the project alive over the coming months.

The new product will be built in a closed-source environment during development. The reason given is speed rather than secrecy, with the CEO stating that shipping matters more than optics at this stage.

South Korea to pilot blockchain-based deposit tokens for government spending

South Korea’s Ministry of Finance and Economy is launching a new pilot project to substitute government expense credit cards with deposit tokens.

The ministry expects to fully implement the pilot project in the fourth quarter of this year.

South Korea's Ministry of Finance and Economy is launching a new pilot project to test blockchain-based deposit tokens for expenses related to official duties.

Currently, government departments execute official business spending and other related expenses with government-issued credit or debit cards, according to the official press release. 

Card usage during late hours or on non-business days would require an extra administrative process where officials submit and review reports that justify the irregular spending.

The ministry said the experiment is expected to resolve inefficiencies in the existing card-based system, leveraging the transparency of blockchain technology.

"When processing expenses with deposit tokens, we can pre-set allowable usage times and permitted categories of spending, enhancing the overall transparency," the translated press release said, adding that the intermediary-free payment structure can reduce the burden of fees for small businesses.

The ministry said it will start selecting operators for the project and work closely with relevant agencies and businesses to finalize the scope of the experiment. It aims to launch a full implementation of the project in the fourth quarter of this year, centering around Sejong-si, the city planned as the administrative capital of the country.

If successful, the pilot may be expanded to other official businesses of the government, the ministry said.

Why is XRP stuck below $1.40 despite ETF inflows and rising 

The cryptocurrency market has slightly retraced following its recent rally.

Bitcoin has dropped to the $74,300 level, while Ether is trading around $2,330, down by more than 1% in the last 24 hours.

Ripple’s $XRP is also down by 0.5% since Tuesday and is now hovering around $1.35 per coin.

It has failed to take out the $1.40 resistance level once again and could record further losses in the near term.

$XRP ETFs, derivatives gain on renewed investor interest

$XRP is down by less than 1% in the last 24 hours despite a mild return in risk appetite from both institutional and retail market participants.

According to CoinGlass, US-listed $XRP spot Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) extended a three-day bullish streak, attracting $10.9 million in inflows on Tuesday and roughly $1.46 million on Monday.

Cumulative inflows now stand at $1.23 billion, with net assets under management averaging $966 million.

If the risk-on sentiment holds and draws investor interest, $XRP could gain momentum, driving prices above $1.40.

In addition to that, $XRP is currently experiencing a mild influx of retail capital, as futures OI rises to $2.47 billion on Wednesday, from $2.38 billion recorded on Monday.
