💰 Trump's Cryptocurrency Ventures: A $2.9 Billion Boost 📈 President Donald Trump’s cryptocurrency investments have reportedly increased his wealth by approximately $2.9 billion over the past six months. This surge is detailed in a report by the State Democracy Defenders Fund, which suggests that Trump's crypto assets now represent nearly 40% of his total net worth of $7.7 billion. 💵 Among these assets are the meme coin official TRUMP and the recently introduced USD1 stablecoin, launched by World Liberty Financial, Inc. (WLFI), in which Trump's family-linked entity holds a 60% stake. The USD1 stablecoin is backed by U.S. Treasuries and cash equivalents. 📝 The report claims that Trump's executive order from January supported private-sector stablecoins while delaying a federal digital currency initiative, coinciding with WLFI’s USD1 launch. It also alleges that the Justice Department has eased its enforcement on digital asset cases unless they are related to terrorism or drug cartels. ⚖️ Ethics experts cited in the report express concerns about potential conflicts of interest arising from Trump's promotion of his crypto ventures, particularly through social media endorsements of TRUMP. The report notes that his assets are held in a trust managed by his sons rather than in traditional blind trusts used by previous presidents. 🌍 Additionally, there are implications under the Foreign Emoluments Clause as WLFI markets the USD1 stablecoin to foreign governments and sovereign wealth funds. While Congress is considering the GENIUS Act to regulate stablecoins, it has not proposed measures to prevent elected officials from owning such assets. ➡️ The report calls on lawmakers to address these loopholes that allow Trump to influence policies that could benefit his holdings. It also mentions that Trump is expected to provide more information about his crypto income in a financial filing due on May 15.

💰 Crypto's Journey Towards Recognition as Money in Brazil 📈 In a recent development, Brazil has taken a significant step towards recognizing cryptocurrency as a form of money. A ruling from the National High Court of Brazil now allows for the seizure of crypto assets to settle outstanding debts. This decision reverses a previous ruling that prioritized debtor confidentiality over the search and seizure of digital assets.

Although unfortunate for some, this ruling has brought crypto’s value and significance to the public eye once more.

🔍 This move acknowledges cryptocurrency as property, bringing it closer to being considered money. It highlights the growing relevance of crypto in financial matters, especially for those storing their digital assets in local exchanges. ♾ Moreover, this ruling could aid creditors in cases of cryptocurrency scams. If funds linked to such crimes are held in exchanges, they can be easily blocked and seized by authorities. This provides law enforcement with an additional tool to combat crypto-related crimes. ⚖️ However, the battle for crypto recognition in Brazil is not over yet. Crypto advocates are currently opposing a forthcoming regulation that would prohibit stablecoin self-custody. This could potentially isolate Brazil from decentralized finance initiatives.

As I said before, one step forward and one backward.

🌐 Ethena Labs Integrates USDe Synthetic Dollar into TON Blockchain 🚀 Ethena Labs is set to launch its synthetic dollar, USDe, and its staking version, tsUSDe, on The Open Network (TON) blockchain in May 2025. This move will provide Telegram's 1 billion users with access to dollar-denominated savings through self-custodial wallets. ➡️ In partnership with the TON Foundation, USDe will be integrated into popular TON-compatible wallets and decentralized exchanges (DEXes), including Telegram's native Wallet, Tonkeeper, and Mytonwallet. Users will have the ability to purchase and stake USDe, earning yields similar to existing options like toncoin (TON) or Tether's USDT. 💰 USDe serves as a crypto-native alternative to the dollar and can be staked to receive tsUSDe, which generates annual percentage yields (APY) paid in TON. To incentivize early participation, users holding up to 10,000 tsUSDe in qualifying wallets will receive an additional 10% APY boost in TON until the end of 2025. 📌 Ethena Labs has specifically designed tsUSDe for TON's decentralized finance (DeFi) framework to encourage greater community engagement. The companies also plan to introduce additional reward initiatives to promote the expansion of TON's DeFi ecosystem. 🔗 USDe will be the first major asset to connect with TON using Layerzero's cross-chain messaging infrastructure. Current USDe holders will be able to bridge their tokens to TON via Stargate Finance when the integration goes live.

🟢 Bitcoin's Current Market Position: A Balancing Act Between Bullish Sentiment and Resistance Levels 📈 Bitcoin is currently consolidating just below its recent peak, following a significant rally that brought it close to this week’s trading range limits. The strong price action and volume indicate a robust bullish sentiment, but the key resistance level at $95,500 remains crucial to monitor. 🔄 On the 1-hour chart, Bitcoin shows short-term consolidation between $93,000 and $94,900 with a slight bullish inclination. The latest hourly candle closed strongly after bouncing off the $91,700 support level. A break above $94,500 could indicate a new upward movement, while a rejection in the $95,000–$95,500 range may lead to short-term selling pressure. 📊 The 4-hour chart displays a classic stair-step uptrend, with price action remaining constructive despite shallow retracements. Following the breakout on April 22, volume spiked but has since cooled as Bitcoin approached the $94,000 level. Support near $83,974 serves as the foundation of the current uptrend, with dips around $92,000 to $92,500 offering potential low-risk entry points. ➡️ From a broader perspective, the daily chart reveals a significant bullish breakout from prolonged consolidation below $86,000. Bitcoin surged rapidly toward $95,000, supported by high volume. While this breakout indicates a shift in trend dynamics, daily candles have begun to tighten, suggesting a slowing pace. ⚖️ Oscillator readings are mixed, reflecting a market that is bullish yet cautious. The momentum and moving average convergence divergence (MACD) both indicate a buy, reinforcing the strength of recent upward moves. In contrast, the commodity channel index (CCI) suggests an overbought condition with a sell signal, while the relative strength index (RSI) and Stochastic remain neutral.

📈 Bitcoin Surges as Global Crypto Market Sees Significant Gains 📊 On Tuesday, the global cryptocurrency market experienced a notable increase of 4.94%, driven by Bitcoin reaching an intraday high of $91,761. Over the past 24 hours, Bitcoin has risen by 5.1%, contributing to a $130 billion expansion in the overall crypto economy since Monday evening.

Bitcoin and the rest of the crypto economy shone brightly on Tuesday, recording gains after Sunday and Monday’s increases.

📈 By 4 p.m. Eastern time on April 22, global trade volume stood at $103.64 billion, marking a 16.6% increase from the previous day. Bitcoin accounted for $45.73 million of this volume, trading at $91,536 per coin. 📉 Other cryptocurrencies also saw significant gains: Ethereum (ETH) rose by 7.64%, Solana (SOL) increased by 6.25%, and Dogecoin (DOGE) was up by 8.75%. Tether (USDT) was the most traded pair for Bitcoin, followed by USD, USDC, and EUR. The meme coin Turbo (TURBO) was the biggest gainer, soaring 36.63% against the dollar.

Some coins were thrown on Tuesday, as IP shed 5.93% and WEMIX took a 4.9% hit.

📉 However, not all coins fared well; IP dropped by 5.93% and WEMIX fell by 4.9%. The crypto derivatives market saw $347.12 million in liquidated positions on April 22, with Bitcoin shorts accounting for $128 million of this total.

📈 Cryptocurrency Market Update: Gains and Losses 📊 On Saturday, the global cryptocurrency market cap rose by 0.53% to reach $2.68 trillion. Over the past week, bitcoin saw a slight increase of 0.3% while ethereum experienced a decline of 2.4%. Despite this, eight digital assets recorded double-digit gains. 🌟 The top performer of the week was threshold network token (T), which surged by 30.59% against the U.S. dollar. It was followed by core dao token (CORE) with a 27.15% increase and theta fuel (TFUEL) which rose by 16.60%. Other notable gainers included VTHO (+15.54%), BRETT (+13.95%), FET (+13.08%), HYPE (+13.02%), and SC (+10.28%). However, T token saw a decline of 9.9% over the last 24 hours. 📉 On the downside, MANTRA’s OM token suffered the biggest drop, plunging by 90.40%. Movement token (MOVE) fell by 32.16% and spx6900 (SPX) decreased by 21.93%. Other tokens that experienced losses included BERA (-21.22%), PENGU (-15.88%), and PI (-15.81%). ➡️ In terms of trading volume, solana (SOL) led the week, followed by XRP. BNB, Official TRUMP, DOGE, and TRX also saw significant turnover. Bitcoin's market capitalization stands at $1.68 trillion, accounting for nearly 63% of the total market. Ethereum's market cap is just under $200 billion at $195 billion, representing over 7% of the crypto economy's total value. 📉 However, data from cryptoquant indicates that bitcoin and ethereum reserves on exchanges have increased over the past week, which may intensify sell pressure and challenge prices in the coming days. With bitcoin dominating nearly two-thirds of the $2.68 trillion market, altcoins will require strong catalysts to attract new capital.

📈 Bitcoin ETFs See Small Inflow While Ether ETFs Continue to Decline 🔄 Bitcoin ETFs experienced a slight rebound on Monday with an inflow of $1.4 million, ending a week-long streak of outflows. In contrast, Ether ETFs faced further losses, recording an exit of $5.98 million, primarily due to withdrawals from Fidelity’s FETH. ➡️ After seven consecutive days of redemptions, Bitcoin ETFs saw a much-needed reversal on April 14. The day's activity was dominated by two funds: Blackrock’s IBIT led with an inflow of $36.72 million, while Fidelity’s FBTC experienced a withdrawal of $35.25 million. The other ten spot Bitcoin ETFs remained inactive, but total trading volume reached a healthy $2.16 billion, with net assets rising to $94.69 billion. 📉 On the other hand, Ether ETFs continued to struggle. The segment saw outflows of $5.98 million, mainly driven by Fidelity’s FETH, which lost $7.78 million. This was partially offset by an inflow of $1.80 million into 21shares’ CETH, but it was insufficient to shift the overall numbers into positive territory. The total value traded for Ether ETFs was $285.64 million, with net assets settling at $5.47 billion. 👀 As the new week begins, the focus will be on whether Bitcoin can maintain its inflow momentum and if Ether can break its ongoing outflow cycle.

📉 Cryptocurrency Market Volatility Amid Global Economic Factors 🌍 The cryptocurrency market experienced significant volatility over the past week, influenced by global economic factors such as concerns over trade wars and a pause in the U.S. tariff policy. While Bitcoin saw a slight increase, other cryptocurrencies like Solana, Avalanche, and Hedera experienced considerable price fluctuations but managed to recover from initial drops. Ethereum, on the other hand, faced a substantial loss and did not rebound like its counterparts. 📈 Following a tumultuous week that saw some global stocks plummet to decade lows, the cryptocurrency market ended on a positive note with Bitcoin up by 2.1%. Solana, ranked sixth by market capitalization, gained 9.5%, making it the second-highest gainer among the top 20 coins. Market data indicated that Solana started the week trading just under $120 but plummeted to under $98 within 24 hours due to the trade war-driven market downturn. A surprise 90-day pause on U.S. tariffs announced by President Donald Trump triggered a mini-rally, allowing SOL to recover its losses from April 7. 📊 Solana then experienced another steep decline, dropping just below $110 before peaking at $130.72 on April 12. At the time of writing, Solana’s weekly gain was lower than Avalanche’s (AVAX) 12.8% but higher than Hedera’s (HBAR) 6.6%. The price movements of Avalanche and Hedera mirrored Solana’s, with significant drops followed by a brief rally due to the tariff pause, and then another decline. However, starting from April 9, AVAX rallied from just above $16 to peak at $20.54 on April 12, while HBAR rose from a low of $0.1435 to peak at $0.1739.

🚀 FDIC Embraces Crypto Innovation: A New Era for Digital Asset Banking 🌟 The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is paving the way for a digital asset banking boom by removing significant barriers and advocating for regulatory clarity in the cryptocurrency space. Acting Chairman Travis Hill announced this shift during his speech at the American Bankers Association’s Washington Summit on April 8, highlighting the agency's updated approach towards blockchain technology and digital assets. 🟢 Hill pointed out that the FDIC has already made substantial policy revisions to facilitate banks' involvement in crypto-related activities. Notably, the agency has eliminated the requirement for prior notification before engaging in such activities, a rule that had previously hindered participation. He stated,

FDIC-supervised institutions may engage in permissible crypto-related activities without receiving prior FDIC approval.

This change signifies that permissible crypto activities will now be treated similarly to other allowed activities. ⚖️ While emphasizing the need for banks to manage associated risks, Hill expressed the importance of allowing innovation to thrive under clear oversight. He raised the question of whether the FDIC should further clarify which crypto services are permissible, referencing past decisions by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) regarding custody services and stablecoin reserves. He also highlighted the necessity of establishing standards for public blockchains, noting that other countries permit banks to operate on these chains while U.S. regulators have imposed restrictions. ➡️ The discussion also covered stablecoin legislation currently moving through Congress. Hill emphasized the importance for banks to comprehend liquidity risk, cybersecurity, and compliance issues related to stablecoins, particularly as deposits become tokenized. He suggested reassessing pass-through deposit insurance regulations to clarify the treatment of stablecoin reserves. 🔒 Hill concluded by reaffirming the FDIC’s commitment to developing a regulatory framework that promotes responsible digital asset innovation while ensuring safety and soundness in the banking system. He stated,

From the FDIC’s perspective, we should provide certainty that ‘deposits are deposits, regardless of the technology or recordkeeping deployed.

This approach aims to balance the need for innovation with the imperative of maintaining stability in the financial system.
