While the common rabble fawn over bitcoin, as if it were the sole suitor worth their gaze—especially under Trump’s command to crown it a reserve treasure—other tokens twirl upon the stage, making their own whispers heard. Lo, Solana pirouettes grandly, accompanied by firms who trumpet their purchases and courtship of this sparkling gem.
It’s no surprise that such price action is happening amid a tidal wave of institutional capital pouring into Bitcoin ETFs. A mind-boggling $3 billion flowed in for the week ending April 25, marking the second-largest weekly inflow since these ETFs first saw the light of day. It’s also the first full week of consistent inflows in five weeks, hinting that, just maybe, the institutional crowd is warming up to the idea of this digital gold. 🤑

Let’s talk numbers! Stablecoins are on fire 🔥. According to some so-called “experts” (I mean, who are these guys, really?), stablecoins are now handling more transactions than Visa! In 2024, stablecoin transaction volumes surpassed that of Visa, and if that doesn’t make you sit up straight, then you’re probably still using a fax machine. 🤔
Over the course of seven days, it surged by more than 11%, market cap creeping just shy of the unfathomable $1.88 trillion. Social media roared—a digital campfire where prophets and madmen alike claim the throne of $100K and beyond. Yet, amidst this cacophony, the wary seasoned voices murmur: beware, fragile minds, for the bear lurks still behind the curtain.
Now, our charming protagonist finds itself negotiating one of those terribly dramatic moments: having flirted with the formidable $1,799 wall, it retreats to the safety of its final intraday corset—allowing for a fresh leap beyond $1,800. Should it succeed, why, $1,840 and the stars beyond are all but within its demure grasp. But heaven forbid it falter, it may well be forced to face three rather unpleasant suitors—zones of resistance, of course.
According to the fine folks at IntoTheBlock (they really know how to get the details), this 38.64 million LINK is not just any number—oh no—it’s the highest 24-hour transaction figure in the past week. The low for the week? A measly 2.31 million. Yeah, we get it—big moves. But what are the whales up to? Are they stacking up on LINK like it’s the next big thing? Or are they unloading it faster than you can say “pump and dump”? Hard to say. But one thing is certain: whales are moving, and that’s gotta mean something.
In a dance choreographed with all the grace of a Dickens plot twist, Z Squared is to be swallowed whole by Coeptis (NASDAQ: COEP), trading its soul—along with a mere 9,000 U.S.-based dogecoin (DOGE) mining machines—for a bite of equity. You may indulge in the full particulars of this farce here, though I dare say it will disappoint those thirsting for stability in these strange times.
Reports—no less reliable than a Jeeves whistle—have it from that well-informed CryptoQuant, that as Bitcoin pirouetted upwards, those short-term holder (STH) supplies played a little game of peekaboo, popping back by around 70,000 BTC just in the past couple of days. What’s this? Why, it’s the classic waltz of long-term holders offloading to the greenhorns fresh to the dance floor. Yet, despite this subtle swap, the crowd remains quite enchanted, absorbing the extra supply without a hint of downward stumble. Bravo! 👏
Javon Marks, a crypto analyst who clearly enjoys making bold predictions, has shared his forecast with the world on X (formerly known as Twitter—because who needs a full name when you’re making money?). His prediction? Cardano could rally by an incredible 300%, if, and that’s a big “if,” it manages to break free from its current Falling Wedge pattern. Ah, the Falling Wedge: so ominous, yet so full of promise. It’s a technical chart pattern, darling, one that historically suggests a bullish reversal. Who doesn’t love a good reversal?
