Following today’s crypto daily, I see that BTC is still caught in this interesting back-and-forth. It was around 78k over the weekend; now it’s consolidating at 77.5k, up +1.64% over the last 24 hours. ETH rose even more, +2.44%, closing at 2.33k. The US–Iran situation remains tense but without escalation, which keeps assets within a narrow range for now.

In today’s crypto daily, the real highlight was Lido—they approved a buyback of 20 million in treasury, but the token fell 1.65% ( very different from the +24% I saw earlier). Aave expanded to Solana and launched a recovery fund; the token rose only 0.38%. Chainlink, with whales accumulating—+1.65%, with a single address adding ~785k LINK.

The fear and greed index is at 47 (, down from 33 days ago), signaling that sentiment has improved. But what grabs my attention is next week—central bank rate decisions, earnings from Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, Google, Meta, Amazon. All of that together could move things a lot. There are also token unlocks scheduled almost every day.

The White House shooting incident caused volatility, but it recovered quickly. Trump continues to signal support for the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, which is positive for the sector. Vietnam is also making moves with pilot programs for regulated cryptocurrencies.

In today’s crypto daily, what worries me most is Litecoin—it suffered a zero-day exploit with a DoS attack. They tried to reorganize 13 blocks, but couldn’t reverse it. Scallop also had a vulnerability issue in the sSUI pool, but promised full compensation. Drift is relaunching a forked platform in May.

BTC continues to consolidate, waiting for upcoming news on US–Iran negotiations. Next week promises to be busy.
