Claim1,200 USDT in the Monthly Creation Challenge

French Finance Minister Roland Lescure called for more euro-denominated stablecoins and urged EU banks to explore tokenized deposits, marking a notable policy shift in Paris.

Lescure backed Qivalis, a consortium of 12 European banks planning to launch a euro-pegged stablecoin in the second half of 2026 to counter U.S. dominance in digital payments.

His stance contrasts with earlier French and EU skepticism toward private stablecoins, which officials had previously warned could threaten monetary sovereignty and lead to the privatization of money.

Bitcoin’s Tug of War at $75K Leaves Traders Bruised; Analyst Eyes $85K by Late Bitcoin has experienced significant volatility over the last 24 hours, repeatedly testing the $75,000 resistance level before settling near $74,200.Bitcoin repeatedly tested $75,000 on April 16, resulting in $137 million in total trader liquidations.Coinglass data shows 8,061 traders were liquidated as BTC price volatility exceeded 2.94% in 24 hours.
MEXC Research analyst Shawn Young predicts bitcoin could reclaim $85,000 by the end of April.
Geopolitical and Economic Drivers
Bitcoin breached the $75,000 mark several times in the last 24 hours as the cryptocurrency continued to hold on to gains initially made on April 13. As shown on the daily chart, bitcoin twice surpassed the mark on Wednesday evening, but its momentum stalled each time amid a wave of selling pressure.
However, a few hours before midnight, the top cryptocurrency breached the mark again before retreating slightly to consolidate near the threshold. By 5 a.m. EST, a fresh volatile session commenced as the price plunged to $74,300, only for the cryptocurrency to rally back to $75,000. The same price action repeated between 9:30 a.m. and 12:15 p.m., but this time, bitcoin plummeted to an intraday low of $73,309 before a quick surge saw it nearly tap the $75,000 resistance again.

Data shows the crypto Fear & Greed Index is still inside the extreme fear territory despite the recovery that Bitcoin and other coins have made.

Bitcoin Fear & Greed Index Is Still Pointing At ‘Extreme Fear’

The “Fear & Greed Index” is an indicator created by Alternative that tells us about the average sentiment present among traders in the Bitcoin and wider cryptocurrency markets. The index takes into account for the data of the following five factors to determine the investor mentality: trading volume, market cap dominance, volatility, social media sentiment, and Google Trends.

To represent the market sentiment, the metric makes use of a numerical scale running from zero to hundred. All values on this scale that lie below 47 correspond to a net sentiment of fear, while those above 53 suggest the dominance of greed among investors. Naturally, the values lying between these two cutoffs imply a neutral mentality.

Besides these three main zones, there are also two ‘extreme’ regions called the extreme fear (25 and under) and extreme greed (above 75). Historically, these two have held significance for the market as they have been where major tops and bottoms have tended to form.

The relationship between prices and sentiment has been an inverse one, however, with tops appearing during extreme greed and bottoms alongside extreme fear.

Recently, the crypto sector has been stuck in the latter of the two, as the below chart shows.

The long stay in the extreme fear zone has been a consequence of the bearish action that Bitcoin and other assets have faced since Q4 2025. In mid-March, BTC’s recovery to $75,000 meant that the market saw a temporary respite from rock-bottom sentiment, with the Fear & Greed Index surging to a peak of 28. After the BTC rally fizzled out, however, the sentiment also cooled back deep into the extreme fear zone

CNBC's Expert Analyst Reveals the Most Hated Crypto Rally is on the Verge of Unfolding

Bitcoin's latest advance is one of the most widely dismissed rallies in years. Yet the very skepticism surrounding it may be the fuel that keeps it alive, according to prominent crypto commentator Ran Neuner.

In a live broadcast on Thursday, the CNBC contributor described a classic "Trump recovery" that has lifted the S&P 500 to fresh record highs and pushed Bitcoin above $74,000, even as geopolitical strains, elevated oil prices, and sticky inflation continue to weigh on sentiment.

Global equity markets are following suit. Japan's Nikkei and South Korea's Kospi are at or near all-time highs, with the Kospi up roughly 50 percent year-to-date.

The rally's unpopularity stems from deep-seated doubt. Many four-year cycle analysts insist the bull market cannot restart until October and forecast a retest of $50,000 or lower. Meanwhile, Altcoin investors are frustrated, citing persistently high Bitcoin dominance, which has left tokens such as Solana trading at multi-month lows against Bitcoin.

The U.S. government moved about $606,000 in bitcoin tied to the 2016 Bitfinex hack to Coinbase Prime, a transfer that may not necessarily signal imminent selling.

Federal proceedings require that the seized Bitfinex-related bitcoin be returned in kind to the exchange, rather than sold and sent to the U.S. Treasury.

Bitfinex plans to use the returned coins to redeem all Recovery Right Tokens and devote at least 80 percent of remaining net proceeds to repurchasing and burning its UNUS SED LEO token.

Flare’s native token $FLR is gaining strong momentum ahead of a critical governance vote that could significantly reshape the network’s economic structure.
This week, Flare introduced a new governance proposal aimed at overhauling its protocol architecture, establishing a protocol-level revenue system, and reducing token inflation. The voting period is set between April 16 and April 24, and market activity has picked up as investors position ahead of the decision.
FLR has risen roughly 10.2% over the past week, trading around $0.0082, reflecting growing expectations around potential structural changes to the network’s tokenomics.
At the core of the proposal is a redesign of Flare’s value capture and MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) system. Instead of allowing external actors to extract MEV, the network aims to internalize this revenue and redirect it back into the ecosystem, creating a more protocol-aligned economic model.
The upgrade would unfold in three stages:
First, block production would shift from individual validators to a designated builder operated by the Flare Entity to improve stability.
Second, Flare Confidential Compute would be introduced, balancing transaction privacy with auditability.
Finally, proposer and builder roles would be merged, with validators focusing primarily on verification.
A major component of the proposal is the creation of FIRE (Flare Income Reinvestment Entity), which would aggregate protocol revenue and allocate it toward token burns and buybacks, linking network usage directly to supply reduction.
The plan also targets a reduction in annual inflation from 5% to 3%, along with lowering the yearly issuance cap from 5 billion to 3 billion FLR. Additionally, base gas fees would increase significantly, potentially accelerating burn activity from an estimated 7.5 million FLR to as much as 300 million FLR annually, depending on network usage.
