Only 4% of Denmark’s population owns crypto, way lower compared to other European countries or the U.S.

According to a report by Denmark’s central bank, Danmarks Nationalbank, the lack of support from most financial institutions and punitive taxes were partly to blame for the slow adoption. 

Compared to the U.K., where 12% of the population owns crypto, Denmark has a 3x slower adoption rate. 

The data reinforced a Chainalysis report that showed Denmark ranked 22nd across the EU region in terms of crypto adoption. According to the latter, the top crypto activities and adoption were concentrated in Russia, the United Kingdom, and Germany. 

Unsurprisingly, most of Denmark’s crypto owners were below 40 years of age. This was consistent with the broader trend of the younger generation embracing new technologies more than older ones.

Bitcoin, ETH, XRP, Solana Max Pain to Watch as Trump Says Iran War Could End
Almost $1.65 billion in Bitcoin options to expire today, with a max pain point below market price.

ETH options traders eye upside amid President Trump hopeful over US-Iran peace deal.

XRP max pain price is at $1.38, but traders are adjusting position based on net week's monthly expiry.

Solana put-call ratio extremely bearish at 2.12 and max pain at $84.

Bitcoin, $ETH, $XRP, and Solana are facing pullbacks today ahead of Friday’s crypto options expiry. The crypto market sentiment has significantly improved this week, with traders expecting upside momentum amid strong spot ETF inflows.
Crypto liquidations surged to almost $450 million, with almost a similar amount of short and long liquidations. In addition, US-Iran peace deal hopes and dropping oil prices triggered bullish momentum in Bitcoin price.

President Trump expressed confidence that the US and Iran could soon reach an agreement to end the Iran war, Reuters reported on April 17. A 10-day ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon has also fueled Trump’s confidence in traveling to Pakistan to seal a peace deal.

Citi Says Mixing Bitcoin With Gold Can Boost Your Portfolio Performance
Citi analysts say holding both gold and bitcoin can improve portfolio performance compared with traditional bond-and-equity mixes. In a new report cited by CNBC, analyst Alex Saunders said a 5% allocation to gold enhances portfolio efficiency, while splitting that exposure between gold and bitcoin produces stronger results.

The analysis found the mixed allocation improves returns in bond bull markets and provides resilience during bear-steepening cycles tied to fiscal concerns and rising inflation risk.

Citi noted that bitcoin often performs better than gold when bond markets weaken, highlighting recent gains amid geopolitical and equity market stress. Over the past two months, bitcoin has risen 9%, while spot gold has declined 4%. Saunders said the tactical appeal of a combined allocation lies in balancing the relative popularity of gold with bitcoin’s growth characteristics.

Bitcoin price analysis

Bitcoin’s move above $75,000 reflects more than a technical breakout; it signals a shift in how markets are valuing the asset amid rising geopolitical tension. After rebounding from a February low near $60,000, bitcoin has climbed roughly 23%, holding firm even as traditional markets face pressure.

Traders now view the $75,000–$76,000 range as a critical resistance zone, with a breakout potentially opening a path toward $80,000, while failure could send price back toward the low-$70,000s or below.

Underneath the surface, derivatives data suggests a market positioned for a potential squeeze. Funding rates on perpetual futures have remained negative for over six weeks, indicating persistent bearish positioning despite rising prices. Historically, this combination of negative funding, rising open interest, and price stability has preceded upward breakouts, as short sellers are forced to cover.

At the same time, the narrative surrounding bitcoin is evolving. No long

A fragile but significant ceasefire between Lebanon and Israel took effect Thursday, as President Donald Trump signaled that a broader peace agreement with Iran may be within reach. The development marks a pivotal moment in the U.S.-Iran war, which erupted on February 28 following a joint American-Israeli military offensive.Trump confirmed that Iran had expressed willingness to forgo nuclear weapons for over two decades, a notable shift from earlier positions. Speaking outside the White House, he told reporters that a deal was close, and later declared at a Las Vegas event that the war "should be ending pretty soon." If finalized, the agreement would reopen the Strait of Hormuz — a critical global shipping lane carrying roughly one-fifth of the world's oil and gas — potentially easing an unprecedented oil price crisis that has rattled global markets and prompted IMF warnings of a looming recession.Celebrations broke out across Beirut at midnight as the ceasefire began, though early violations were reported by the Lebanese Army, citing Israeli shelling in southern villages. Hezbollah also issued a statement confirming its final strike came just minutes before the truce deadline.Diplomatic momentum is building around Pakistani Army chief Asim Munir, who reportedly made progress on key sticking points during a visit to Tehran. U.S. and Iranian negotiators remain divided over the fate of Iran's highly enriched uranium stockpile and the lifting of international sanctions, though sources suggest a partial compromise is emerging.Trump announced plans to invite Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Lebanese President Joseph Aoun to the White House for peace talks, while indicating he may personally travel to Islamabad if a final deal is signed there.Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth warned that military operations would resume if negotiations collapse.Gold is

Bitcoin miners hold the key to BTC’s Q2 fate – Here’s why

The early signs of a bear phase often emerge when miners start capitulating as patience begins to fade.

Q1 2026 reflects this dynamic clearly. From a technical standpoint, Bitcoin [BTC] closed the quarter down 22%, marking its weakest Q1 performance in almost eight years, ending the period near $68k.

 Notably, miner positioning during the quarter reinforced the broader bearish structure.

As the chart below shows, several major public miners sold more than 32,000 BTC in Q1 2026, according to data analyzed by TheEnergyMag.

The dataset remains incomplete, with some reports still pending. And yet, miner selling has already “exceeded” total net sales across all of 2025, setting a new industry record.
