It was a notably positive week for the crypto market, with Bitcoin pushing toward the 80,000 mark and overall sentiment improving across the space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Geopolitical developments played a key role in market movement. Easing tensions in the Middle East helped fuel volatility, particularly after Donald Trump announced on April 22 that the ceasefire between the United States and Iran would be extended. Following the news, Bitcoin surged past 78,000, triggering heavy liquidations of leveraged positions that totaled nearly 500 million dollars within a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rally continued as BTC climbed close to 79,500, its highest level since late January. However, it failed to break through the key psychological barrier at 80,000 and later slipped below 78,000 before rebounding again above that level in the past 24 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a related development, Trump also confirmed that a ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon would be extended for an additional three weeks after discussions at the White House. This continued easing of tensions could further stabilize investor sentiment and support ongoing recovery in the crypto market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Bitcoin gained around 4 percent over the week, several altcoins delivered stronger performances. MemeCore jumped 24 percent, reaching a new all time high above 4.60 and reinforcing its position among leading meme coins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Privacy focused assets such as Monero and Zcash, along with Stellar, recorded gains between 5 and 9 percent. In contrast, Aave and Worldcoin declined sharply, each falling about 17 percent over the same period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The total crypto market capitalization stands near 2.69 trillion dollars, with daily trading volume around 93 billion dollars and Bitcoin dominance at 58.1 percent. BTC is trading near 78,200, while Ethereum sits at approximately 2,320 and XRP at 1.44.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key Developments from the Week<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security concerns resurfaced after Kaspersky warned about 26 fake crypto wallet apps targeting iPhone users, designed to steal digital assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Economist Peter Schiff sparked debate by labeling Strategy\u2019s STRC initiative as a Ponzi scheme, adding to ongoing industry discussions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Kalshi banned three US political candidates as part of a crackdown on insider trading related to election betting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scammers also exploited geopolitical fears by posing as officials and requesting cryptocurrency payments for safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, Kevin Warsh, nominated by Trump to replace Jerome Powell, warned during Senate testimony that liquidity conditions may tighten, a factor that could influence Bitcoin and broader financial markets going forward.#crypto#cryptonews https:\/\/coinsignals.net<\/a> https:\/\/t.me\/coinsignalpublic<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
