Hey there crypto crew, it’s your buddy Crypto Willy coming to you with this week’s no-BS download on the digital asset world. If you blinked, you might have missed some insane action, so let’s decode every headline you need to know.

First up: Bitcoin. The OG king has been flirting with that psychological $107,000 mark, shrugging off the old “Sell in May and go away” Wall Street adage in style. Paul Howard at Wincent says it might actually be a “buy in May and chill” summer for BTC, thanks to big-time institutional flows and the ETF fever. Just this month, spot bitcoin ETFs in the US alone raked in over $3.3 billion. That’s not just whale talk—companies are copying the Michael Saylor playbook, bulk buying bitcoin for their treasuries. The total crypto market is now kissing the $3.3 trillion ceiling, and Howard is betting we break all-time highs as we close in on $4 trillion. Bring on those fireworks!

But let’s not sleep on Ethereum. This week, ether surged after holding strong above $2,477, and the trading volume has been bonkers. Meanwhile, Consensys, led by Joseph Lubin, spearheaded a jaw-dropping $425 million funding round for an ETH treasury strategy. The Ethereum ecosystem is flexing its muscles, and with that kind of capital injection, don’t be shocked if ETH makes another moonshot attempt soon.

Altcoins had a mixed week. XRP took a dip and slipped below $2.30, but the drama doesn’t end there. Dogecoin, the meme coin darling of Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer, has been on a quiet tear—up nearly 34% for the year to date. Analysts are watching Doge’s consolidation pattern, and with its wild history, some are whispering about a possible 215% jump toward seventy-four cents if it breaks out like before.

There’s also a major Wall Street crossover moment: Cantor Fitzgerald launched a Bitcoin lending arm, and Cantor’s first deals with FalconX and Maple could mark a new era for institutional crypto credit. Meanwhile, the Trump Media crowd is raising a whopping $2.5 billion pile for a bitcoin treasury strategy, putting Truth Social in the same “stacking sats” league as big corporate names.

And don’t overlook the stablecoin giants. Circle, the folks behind USDC, just filed for IPO on the NYSE, ticker CRCL. With stablecoins getting mainstream, Circle’s move is more proof the lines between crypto and TradFi are blurring fast.

For those building or betting, the top coins haven’t changed: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Binance Coin, Solana, XRP, and good ol’ Doge lead the pack. But remember, even the hottest coins have their down days, and timing the market is notoriously tough. As 1290 WJNO put it this week, more than 90% of market timers end up worse off, so steady hands and strong research still win the race.
