April 17: Ethereum Records Busiest Quarter Ever

Bitcoin reaches a two-and-a-half-month high above $76K as risk appetite improves, while Ethereum logs its busiest quarter ever with 200.4 million base-layer transactions in Q1. Small-cap altcoins surge broadly (ORDI +178%, SIREN +123%, RAVE +46%), with capital rotating into cyclical and high-vol names amid $441M in liquidations. Deutsche Börse’s recent $200M Kraken stake and Tether’s self-custodial wallet launch add institutional and product momentum. Macro caution persists with bond risk warnings, but markets show selective strength heading into the weekend—focus on sustained volume and altcoin rotation. Hosted on Acast.
