BTC, however, expanded its meeting to a High of April of $ 88.8k just before the US market trade session was opened on Tuesday.
Gold also tapped a record high at $ 3.5k per ounce, a movement analysts noticed as a flight to ‘Safe Haven’ in the midst of President Donald Trump’s threats to feed independence.
Crypto -Handelsbureau QCP Capital said,
“The move underlines a wider flight of US shares, treasuries and the dollar, while the concern about the independence of Federal Reserve escalates.”
Trump hit the FED chairman Jerome Powell because he was ‘too late’ to lower the interest rates and threatened to expel him before his term of office ends next year.
The market reaction to Trump has been fast and negative for the US dollar, and shares but BTC and gold rose.
Circle Rivals Swift, Atkins sworn in
Stablecoin Giant Circle unveiled a new cross -border payment network (CPN) to rival Swift, Mastercard and even Ripple.
So what does the solution want to solve? Current platforms such as Swift can last a maximum of three days and make 6% reimbursements on the transferable amount. Circle mentioned,
“With CPN, banks and payment providers can move money on internet speed with fully reserved digital dollars and euros.”
For his part, Nic Carter, partner at Castle Island and former Fidelity Crypto Analyst, noted That the movement would be a ‘equivalent of Swift’.
It is still to be seen how competition with Ripple, whose business model also depends on cross -border payments, will take place.
Still on Ripple, XRP could be confronted with another regulatory hiccup after a recent complaint about Oregon Attorney General (AG) against Coinbase.
The suit claimed that XRP, Solana [SOL] And 29 other tokens were traded on the platform as non -registered ‘crypto effects’.
Coinbase, however, closed the complaint for different omitings, including the decision of Judge Analisa Torres on XRP that only the sale to institutional investors amounted to ‘security’.
Finally, on Monday, pro-Crypto Paul Atkins was sworn in as the 34th SEC chairman. This followed a confirmation of the US Senate on April 9, 2025 and a hearing where he promised A ‘rational’ crypto regulation.
After his sworn, Nate Geraci from the ETF store projected In anticipation of applications, including setting on ETFs, would be followed quickly.
