April 17: Ethereum Records Busiest Quarter Ever

Bitcoin reaches a two-and-a-half-month high above $76K as risk appetite improves, while Ethereum logs its busiest quarter ever with 200.4 million base-layer transactions in Q1. Small-cap altcoins surge broadly (ORDI +178%, SIREN +123%, RAVE +46%), with capital rotating into cyclical and high-vol names amid $441M in liquidations. Deutsche Börse’s recent $200M Kraken stake and Tether’s self-custodial wallet launch add institutional and product momentum. Macro caution persists with bond risk warnings, but markets show selective strength heading into the weekend—focus on sustained volume and altcoin rotation.
