Bitcoin Surges, ETH Holds Strong, and XRP Tracker Fund Debuts in Asia | Crypto Week in Review
The Blockchain Revolution: Cryptocurrency & DeFi Insights podcast.
Hey friends, it’s Crypto Willy here, bringing you a hot-off-the-ledger download on everything shaking up the blockchain, crypto, and DeFi universe from this past week!
Let’s kick things off with the granddaddy, Bitcoin. The price shot up over 1.5% to a solid $84,900 as of April 12, largely shrugging off a three-month downtrend. The rally seemed turbocharged after Donald Trump, back in the news cycle, exempted some key blockchain and semiconductor tech from recent reciprocal tariffs. That’s not just good news for hodlers; it’s a boost for the entire U.S. crypto infrastructure, putting some wind in the sails of spot Bitcoin ETFs. Speaking of which, U.S. Bitcoin spot ETFs raked in a net inflow of $13.7 million this week, a possible signal of renewed institutional appetite.
Ethereum isn’t sitting on the sidelines either. ETH has climbed above the 1,600 USDT mark, posting a 0.68% increase over the last 24 hours. While that might not sound like fireworks, it does reinforce Ethereum’s staying power within DeFi—especially as gas fees remain manageable and new L2 projects keep sprouting up.
Now, Binance Coin (BNB) did dip slightly, falling below 590 USDT, but it’s holding relatively steady in the face of broader market consolidation. Meanwhile, a real surprise mover: GMT rocketed nearly 20% in the last day, trading at around 0.06 USDT. That’s the kind of swing that keeps the Telegram alerts buzzing!
For you altcoin adventurers, the news isn’t just about prices. Galaxy Research has proposed a new voting system overhaul for Solana’s inflation after SIMD-228 couldn’t lock in consensus. If you’re a SOL holder, this could change how protocol upgrades and rewards are handled. Meanwhile, on the real-world asset front, Blocksquare and Vera Capital just inked a deal to tokenize a whopping $1 billion in U.S. real estate. That means more Americans could soon own property shares as easily as they trade tokens.
Asia’s making waves too. Ripple and HashKey Capital teamed up to launch the first XRP Tracker Fund in the region—no wallet needed. For institutional investors, that’s a no-fuss gateway into digital assets.
On the innovation front, Euclid Protocol launched its public omnichain testnet after a soft launch with 20,000 users. This could be big for liquidity across DeFi, helping unify assets between fragmented blockchains. Bitunix, meanwhile, dropped fresh proof-of-reserves data showing a 60% reserves bump to over $130 million, a strong nod toward user asset security.
On a lighter note, the HEXY presale is making waves, aiming to tie blockchain with pet care and animal welfare. And Stabull Labs is prepping the $STABUL token launch, promising more options in stablecoins and RWA trading.
That’s your week in the wild, electrifying world of crypto! Stay safe, stay curious, and remember—always DYOR. Crypto Willy out!
