Bitcoin steady as S&P 500 hits record, but options market isn't buying the peace trade


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

Jesse Spiro, who serves as head of government affairs for the stablecoin giant, was named chair of Fellowship PAC earlier this month — a crypto-aligned super PAC that says it has more than $100 million ready to spend on the 2026 US midterm elections.Related Reading: $2.7M Bitcoin Buy: Politician-Backed Stack BTC Expands TreasuryFirst Spending On RecordThe group’s opening move was a $300,000 ad buy backing Clay Fuller, a Republican who won a special election to fill the Georgia 14th Congressional District seat left open after Marjorie Taylor Greene stepped down. That spending was formally reported to the Federal Election Commission and disbursed this week, roughly a month before Georgia’s Republican primary on May 19. Fellowship did not stop there.

XRP Holds Strong as Market Awaits Breakout Above Key Resistance
XRP is currently showing stability in the market as it trades within a tight range, building momentum for a potential breakout. Despite overall market fluctuations, XRP has managed to hold its ground, which indicates strong buyer support. The main focus for traders right now is the ongoing interest in Ripple’s ecosystem and its cross-border payment solutions, which continue to attract institutional attention.
Another factor supporting XRP is the growing optimism around regulatory clarity. Positive developments in Ripple-related discussions are improving investor sentiment, which could play a major role in XRP’s next move. However, like other altcoins, XRP is also facing resistance due to short-term profit-taking and overall market uncertainty.
📊 Current Market Situation:
XRP is currently trading around the $0.60 – $0.65 range, which is acting as a consolidation zone. This range is important because it will decide the next direction of the price. A breakout or breakdown from this zone is expected soon.
📈 Price Prediction (Short-Term):
If XRP breaks above $0.66 resistance, next targets could be:
➡️ $0.75
➡️ $0.85
If rejection occurs:
➡️ Support levels: $0.55 – $0.57
📌 Final Insight:
XRP’s structure is currently neutral to bullish, with a high chance of breakout if buying volume increases. Traders should wait for confirmation before entering trades.

Neo 4 RISC-V VM solution passes full MainNet state validation



A NeoVM-compatible RISC-V virtual machine solution for Neo 4 has passed block-by-block state root verification against the full Neo MainNet dataset, confirming the design has moved beyond the conceptual stage. Neo co-founder and core developer Erik Zhang shared the milestone, describing the result as validation that the approach produces identical state transitions to the existing system.

The achievement follows Zhang’s draft Neo 4 roadmap published in Sept. 2025, which proposed NeoVM 2 as a next-generation virtual machine with RISC-V compatibility, fine-grained gas metering, and improved cost efficiency. At the time, Zhang stated that adoption of RISC-V would allow Neo to onboard existing developer infrastructure, improve efficiency, and enhance support for zero-knowledge proofs.

Architecture and validation

The implementation integrates PolkaVM, a RISC-V-based virtual machine originally developed by Parity Technologies for the Polkadot ecosystem, into Neo’s execution environment. An architecture diagram shared by Neo core developer Jimmy Liao illustrates the layered design: the Neo Core C# node interfaces with a PolkaVM Host Runtime written in Rust through a Foreign Function Interface bridge, with a RISC-V sandbox layer supporting both legacy NeoVM bytecode and native RISC-V contracts.

State root verification works by comparing the cryptographic hash representing the blockchain’s entire state at each block height. By running the new VM implementation against every MainNet block and confirming matching state roots throughout, the team demonstrated functional equivalence between

The precious metal sector is once again experiencing a mix of new activity, with gold and silver both posting steady gains. Silver has now climbed back to $80, with gold readily eyeing $5K as its next price target. In the middle of this, economist Peter Schiff has warned of a possible USD downturn, as precious metals continue to surge and spike, delivering new gains. Has the time come for the metal to take the center stage again?Also Read: Gold Price to Hit $6K in Weeks? Here’s What Analysts Are SeeingPeter Schiff: USD Has Lost All Iran War GainsSource: PixabayPeter Schiff, a renowned economist known for his staunch Bitcoin attitude, has once again struck a new, striking warning. In his latest tweet on X, Schiff shared the latest silver price move, adding how the metal has finally hit $80 after significant upheavals. Moreover, gold price is also gaining steady momentum amid the war crisis, eyeing the $5K mark.Additionally, Schiff was quick to add how the US dollar has lost all its war gains and is now portraying a weakening stance, with the markets supporting metals as of late. The economist then sounded a major alarm, stating how investors should buy gold before it hits $5K, as metals have now once again started to show significant progress.“Silver is back above $80. It won’t be long before gold is back above $5,000. The dollar has already lost all of its Iran war gains. Soon gold will recover all of its Iran War losses.

Solana Price Prediction: Critical Support Test Could Decide 300%-400% Rally


Solana sits between two very different chart signals right now. While one analyst sees short term weakness toward support, another says the long term setup could still open the door to a major upside move.

Solana Rejection Near $87.87 Keeps Focus on $78.76 to $81.65 Support

Solana failed to hold gains near a key upside target, and that rejection shifted attention back to a lower support zone, according to chart analysis shared by More Crypto Online on X.

The analyst said $SOL nearly reached the $87.87 target area before sellers pushed the price lower. As a result, the move higher still looks corrective rather than a strong trend reversal. In Elliott Wave terms, that means the bounce has not yet shown the kind of strength that would confirm a broader breakout.



The 1 hour chart showed $SOL trading near $83.46 after the rejection. It also marked resistance near the recent high and identified a support region between $78.76 and $81.65. That area now stands out as the next key zone for price action.

More Crypto Online added that the rise into resistance did not form a clear five wave move. Therefore, the analyst said the structure remains weak and still leaves room for further downside or a deeper wave two correction before any stronger upside attempt can develop.

The chart also showed short term micro support above the broader support band. Even so, the wider focus remains on whether $SOL can hold the $78.76 to $81.65 region. If that area fails, the bearish case in the current setup would likely grow stronger.

At the same time, the chart showed that the recent bounce stopped below the next higher resistance zone near $87.87 to $89.75. That means bulls did not reclaim the upper level needed to shift the short term structure into a clearer bullish trend.

For now, the analysis suggests Sola
