Saylor's Strategy Finally Exits Loss Position as Bitcoin Hits $76,000

Bitcoin has continued to rally as market sentiment begins to turn extremely bullish, putting its long-term holders, especially treasury companies like MicroStrategy, back in profit.

MicroStrategy, the world's largest Bitcoin treasury firm, is back in profit as the lingering rally has pushed Bitcoin to surge past its one-month high.

MicroStrategy returns to profit zone

On Friday, April 17, Arkham Intelligence firm shared data revealing that MicroStrategy's Bitcoin holdings have officially returned to a break-even point as Bitcoin sees a major price breakout.

While MicroStrategy's average accumulation price for Bitcoin still stands at about $75,577, the firm has finally exited its loss territory after breaking even on Bitcoin amid an ongoing price rally.

Following a rapid price surge, Bitcoin has reclaimed its previous highs, surging past $76,000 with a price increase of about 3% over the last 24 hours.

With Bitcoin's price rally, MicroStrategy's $BTC reserve has crossed into neutral territory while positioning for a profit zone.

This comes after the firm has endured an extended period of unrealized losses during previous market downturns that persisted for several months.

MicroStrategy sets for huge win on Bitcoin bets

Despite the massive unrealized losses faced by the company, Michael Saylor has continued to double down on his Bitcoin purchases, massively expanding the firm's holdings.

While it had accumulated large $BTC tokens during the recent volatility phase, the firm has purchased the majority of its holdings for lower prices, positioning it for bigger gains as Bitcoin eyes a major price breakout.

Circle unveils USDC Bridge for native cross-chain stablecoin transfers



Stablecoin issuer Circle has launched $USDC Bridge, enabling users to transfer $USDC natively between at least 17 blockchains without needing to rely on wrapped or synthetic tokens.

On Friday, Circle’s $USDC X account said the bridge allows users to move the $USDC ($USDC) stablecoin in a “predictable, transparent way,” citing a native burn-and-mint transfer mechanism and no bridge complexities.

Gas fees will be handled automatically, fees will be shown upfront, and live status updates will be provided throughout the transfer, Circle added.

The $USDC Bridge builds on Circle’s Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP), which was introduced in April 2023 and facilitates hundreds of millions of stablecoin transfers each day.

Cross-chain bridges seek to make the broader crypto ecosystem interoperable, functioning as a unified network rather than a collection of fragmented, isolated blockchains.

Making bridges as simple and easy to use as possible has been an area of focus for many crypto infrastructure firms.

In the past, bridges have confused users and arguably slowed crypto adoption, especially for beginners struggling to navigate bridge interfaces, trade routes and gas fees.

$USDC Bridge supports over a dozen blockchains

Cointelegraph found that $USDC Bridge supports $USDC transfers between at least 17 Ethereum Virtual Machine-compatible blockchains, including Ethereum, Avalanche, Arbitrum, Base, Monad, Optimism, Polygon, Sonic and World Network.

Circle’s CCTP supports a broader number of blockchains, including Solana, Sui and Aptos, which are not natively EVM compatible.

On Wednesday, Circle was hit with a class action for failing to freeze around $230 million worth of $USDC that

South Korea is kicking off a pilot that will replace government expense credit cards with blockchain‐based deposit tokens.

Blockchain Goes TradFi?
The Ministry of Finance and Economy announced on an official press release that the pilot project for the execution of national treasury funds using blockchain‐based digital currency has been approved.

This new official venture marks the second time in which South Korea’s government uses digital currency and deposit tokens for the execution of national treasury funds, following another pilot project for building electric‐vehicle charging facilities and paying national subsidies together with the Ministry of Environment.

Deposit tokens are digital claims on commercial bank deposits, issued on permissioned blockchain rails, spendable by citizens and companies at participating merchants and service providers.

In simpler words, deposit tokens are digital versions of the money already kept in a normal bank account. The bank “wraps” those deposits into tokens on a private (permissioned) blockchain, and you can then spend those tokens at approved shops or service providers, just like using a card or mobile wallet.

In contrast with Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), that are digital versions of a country’s official money, created and managed directly by its central bank, deposit tokens have programmable settlement, transparent tracking of public money, and real‐time reporting for the state.

Pilot Details
The press release states that under the current National Treasury Funds Management Act, business promotion costs and related operating expenses are required to be paid with government purchase cards, effectively blocking the use of deposit tokens. Thanks to the new regulatory sandbox, those same payments can now be made with deposit tokens, creating a real‐world testbed for a new government

Ethereum Price Analysis: ETH Breaks Above Descending Channel After 6% Daily Surge

Ethereum is trading around $2,460 as it holds near its highest levels since the February breakdown, with the broader crypto market continuing to recover. $ETH is now pressing against one of the most technically significant zones of the entire correction.

How the price behaves over the next several sessions will go a long way toward determining whether this rally has genuine legs or simply represents another failed attempt at trend reversal.

Ethereum Price Analysis: The Daily Chart

$ETH has broken slightly above the long-term descending channel’s upper boundary on the daily chart and is now testing the 100-day MA near and the horizontal $2.4k supply zone. This is a very important level that has stood firmly over the past couple of months. The RSI has also climbed into the high-50s and is trending upward. This indicates that momentum supports the breakout attempt and is not flashing an overextended signal yet.

The key test now is whether $ETH can convert this into a valid breakout above the $2.4k level and the 100-day moving average. The $2.8k zone above represents the next major supply corridor, with the declining 200-day MA (~$2.9k) located at its upper boundary.

A daily candle close above $2.4k would be the most bullish development in months, and could pave the way toward $2.8k. On the other hand, if the market fails to continue higher, a drop back inside the descending channel would be likely, which could then result in another decline toward the $1.8k critical support area.


$ETH/USDT 4-Hour Chart

On the 4-hour chart, $ETH has been grinding just below the $2.3k–$2.4k resistance band for the past several sessions. Meanwhile, the ascending trendline from the February lows continues to provide a rising floor, which is currently located near the $2k mark. The mos

 used to believe that success in trading depended on how fast you could act. That belief made me rush decisions and react emotionally to every movement in the market.

Bitcoin’s $77K rally leaves bears bleeding with $585M shorts wiped
Bitcoin’s fresh rally is raising a strange contradiction in the market. It is printing green indexes while sentiment refuses to follow. $BTC managed to breach the $77,000 for the first time in 11 weeks, but bears’ bets dominated the liquidations.

The global crypto market cap surged by almost 3% over the last 24 hours. It currently hovers around $2.61 trillion. The digital assets market’s 24-hour trading volume spiked by 12% to hit $172 billion. This suggests that traders are speeding up their positions.

CoinGlass data shows that more than 164,835 traders were liquidated in the last 24 hours. The total liquidations went on to hit $747.81 million. However, the largest single wipeout came from a $BTC/USD trade worth $15.75 million on Hyperliquid.

Bitcoin rally triggers Short Squeeze?

Bears were seen bleeding as more than 78% of the liquidated positions turned out to be short bets. More than $585 million worth of short bets were liquidated in the period. Data shows that Bitcoin itself accounted for around $378 million of the total liquidations. Over 91% of the liquidated positions ($344 million) turned out to be short bets. This suggests that traders were hoping for Bitcoin price to remain low or fall, however, $BTC price jumped by more than 3% in the last 24 hours to peek $78,000.

Yet even as bears bleed, conviction hasn’t flipped. Funding rates for perpetual futures remain negative. This signals that leveraged traders are still betting against the rally. This bearish positioning has now persisted for roughly 46 consecutive days. This is reportedly one of the longest such stretches since the collapse of FTX in 2022.

Markets have already started to show signs of those squeeze patterns. Bitcoin price pump came alongside a broader risk-on shift across global markets. Positive comments from the US and Iran have pushed the m
