Those releases land directly on top of the new oil shock. They will shape whether markets see the latest rise in energy as a temporary disruption or the start of another inflation leg that keeps policy tighter for longer.

XRP’s response to that sequence could define the next phase of its cycle. A hotter payrolls print would strengthen the view that labor conditions remain firm enough to keep the Federal Reserve cautious.

Hawkish signals in the minutes would add another layer of restraint. A hotter CPI print next Friday would confirm that the oil move has arrived inside an already sensitive inflation backdrop.

Bitcoin News: Bitcoin Breaks Above $77K as Strategy Returns to Profit

Key Takeaways

Bitcoin climbed above $77,000 for the first time since February.

Strategy returned to profit on its Bitcoin holdings.

Strategy stock surged roughly 8% as BTC moved above the company's average cost basis.

Bitcoin also reclaimed its 100-day moving average, strengthening the bullish technical setup. Bitcoin decisively broke above $77,000, marking its strongest move since the sharp selloff in early February that briefly pushed prices toward $60,000.

The breakout is notable because Bitcoin has now moved above its 100-day moving average near $74,800, a level that rejected price twice during previous recovery attempts in February and March. This latest move suggests bulls are regaining control after months of consolidation.

The rally has also pushed Strategy back into profit on its Bitcoin treasury for the first time in weeks.

'Choke Point'—Bitcoin's $77B Coinbase ETF Warning Shocks Markets


Bitcoin investors are suddenly confronting an uncomfortable math problem inside the $91.7 billion U.S. spot bitcoin ETF market.

"Coinbase Custody holds 84% of all US spot Bitcoin ETF assets," Marc Baumann, founder of research firm fiftyonexyz, posted on X on April 14. "That's $77 billion with a single custodian. For an industry built on decentralization, the most important product category has a single point of failure. Regulators will notice."

The warning is landing as bitcoin trades near $77,000, having clawed back from a 40% drawdown since its late-2025 peak around $126,000. It also lands three weeks after the April 2 conditional approval of a national trust charter for Coinbase by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. "OCC grants Coinbase conditional approval for a National Trust Bank Charter," Swiss law firm Goldblum & Partners posted on X on April 13, noting that "11 crypto firms now in the federal banking pipeline" and that a new rule, 12 CFR 5.20, "explicitly permits non-fiduciary crypto custody for national trust banks." That regulatory blessing, in a twist, deepens the concentration analysts are now calling out.

The figure itself has become the new rallying cry of bitcoin's structural skeptics. CryptoSlate first framed the dollar number on April 12 as "over 80% of Bitcoin ETF assets hit Coinbase custody choke point with $74B at risk." Within 48 hours, the phrasing was circulating through crypto-media accounts and analyst threads.

"Over 80% of Bitcoin ETF assets now sit inside Coinbase custody. That’s roughly $74B concentrated in one infrastructure layer," wrote crypto-media account W3BCMedia on April 13. Institutional adoption was growing, the account added, "but so is systemic custody risk.

US President Donald Trump said in a press huddle that he gets "no credit" for taking a $0 salary each year. He went ahead saying that he let go of millions of dollars by "waiving" his presidential salary. Trump claimed that he's the only President to have done so, and no others waived their salaries despite being well-off and wealthy while holding the highest office of the land."I waived it. I'm the only president that ever waived it," said Trump. "We've had wealthy presidents before. In the history of our country, there's never been a president that waved his salary. I'm the only schmuck. I get no credit for it," he said. He made sure to emphasize that the salary is not a small amount, but a significant one. "It's still a couple of million bucks. It's not peanuts. "The salary of a US President is $400,000 a year, which eventually adds up to $1.6 million for a term of four years. Joe Biden's salary during the previous term was $1.6 million. Barack Obama, who served for eight years, earned $3.2 million during his time in office. Social media platforms quickly erupted with Trump supporters exclaiming, "Our President works for free.

Also, leading economist and gold proponent Peter Schiff said that Trump is making more money as President by taking a $0 salary." Trump has made billions exploiting his power as president. Why would he need a salary? That's peanuts,"
