Bitcoin surged past $124k, setting a new all-time high (ATH) and briefly overtaking Google’s $2.488 trillion market capitalization to become the world’s fifth-most valuable asset. BTC hit a record high of $124,457.12 in the past 24 hours before pulling back to trade at $121,692 as of 12:28 a.m. EST. The crypto king is up more 1.3% in the past day and 5.8% in the past last week amid buoyant market sentiment. Investors are betting that lower-than-expected US CPI inflation this week and pressure from President Donald Trump will bring interest rates cuts next month. Trump today called for a one basis point cut, while Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent yesterday urged a 50 basis point cut.

Decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol Onyx (XCN) has seen its token price surge over 80% in the past 24 hours following the launch of its new Goliath Mainnet. The upgrade marks a shift from Onyx’s existing Layer 3 rollup to a standalone Layer 1 blockchain, with promises of improved scalability, security, and performance.  One of the more notable claims associated with Goliath is its potential to match, or even exceed the transaction speeds of traditional payment networks like Visa, which processes around 24,000 transactions per second (TPS).  While the mainnet utilizes a Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanism that could, in theory, support significantly higher throughput, achieving that performance in a decentralized environment remains a considerable technical hurdle. At press time, XCN is trading at $0.022, with a 136% gain over the past seven days. The recent rally follows a volatile start to 2025, during which XCN surged more than 1,500% in just two weeks to a ...

Ethereum (ETH), the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, has had a turbulent start to 2025, plunging over 52% year-to-date to trade at $1,574 at press time.  Although the asset gained nearly 4.5% in the past 24 hours, it remains under sustained selling pressure, marked by a series of lower highs and short-lived rallies that have failed to establish a meaningful trend reversal.

Source: Finbold The latest blow came after President Donald Trump announced sweeping tariff measures, including a 10% blanket tariff on all imports into the United States, set to take effect on April 9.  The announcement triggered a broad sell-off across global markets, wiping out roughly $300 billion from the cryptocurrency market over the weekend. Ethereum, which has underperformed the wider market, was no exception. While the market has staged a modest rebound, sentiment remains fragile. Ethereum continues to struggle with we...

On March 27, the crypto market saw its total market capitalization fall by $100 billion in the span of just 24 hours. This was followed by further losses, as digital assets marked $100 billion in outflows over the course of the weekend. Around noon on Sunday, March 31, a local bottom was reached, with the total crypto market cap falling to levels as low as $2.63 trillion. However, on April 1, the wider market staged a comeback, and the total valuation soared by $80 billion to reach $2.71 trillion as of press time.  Total cryptocurrency market cap 30-day chart.

On the contrary, the move to the upside has been pretty universal — at present, all of the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market cap are in the green on a 24-hour chart, with the exception of stablecoins like USD Coin (USDC) or Tether (USDT), which have se...

However, the latter outpaced the former this week, registering $793 million inflows compared to Bitcoin’s $407 million. Over...

In early August, a little over two months ago, BitGo announced that it was entering a new joint venture with Justin Sun and BiT Global, a Hong Kong-based custodian, to manage custody for Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC). Sun’s involvement was controversial, leading some DeFi projects to briefly consider whether WBTC would remain safe going forward. The most high-profile of these, MakerDAO, did eventually decide it was still safe to include WBTC. This period of time even included a less than fully viable proposal for competitor Threshold Network to acquire WBTC.  Additionally, both Coinbase and Kraken have launched competitors to WBTC following BitGo’s announcement. Coinbase Wrapped Bitcoin has seen the most rapid growth among WBTC’s competitors. Read more: How involved is Justin Sun with WBTC’s new custodian BiT Global?
