The total value of all cryptocurrencies is now around $2.66 trillion, which is a tiny 0.51% increase from yesterday.
People traded $74.57 billion worth of crypto in the last 24 hours, which is a little less than the day before.
Out of all this trading:
About $6.31 billion came from DeFi stuff (that’s around 8.46%).
And $69.19 billion came from stablecoins (that’s almost 93%).
Bitcoin is still the biggest cryptocurrency, but its share dropped a bit. It now controls about 62.98% of the whole market.
Fed Chair Jerome Powell said crypto, especially stablecoins, is growing fast and needs clear rules. He warned it could hurt the economy if not handled right. Inflation is rising, and people are buying more tokens like Bitcoin to protect their money.

Retail sales jumped 1.4% in March. Powell said stablecoins can be useful but must be watched closely. The Fed may relax rules for banks using crypto in the future if things stay stable.
A token called “Base is for everyone” went viral and hit $17M in just an hour — then crashed hard. People lost millions.
Coinbase says it didn’t create the coin; it was auto-made on Zora after a post. They got 10M tokens but promised not to sell. The token had a warning: no profit, no future promises. Still, the project earned $61K in fees, which will help Base developers.

Every dip so far has been bought up, showing continued interest and strength in this real treasure. Gold is seen as a safe asset, and Bitcoin might follow the same path. Both are getting attention, and BTC is showing signs it might also rise soon. Let’s see if Bitcoin can break its past record just like gold did!
The Ripple vs SEC fight got paused for 60 days because both sides wanted to settle. Ripple may only pay $50M instead of $75M. Experts say the case could end before June if the new SEC boss Paul Atkins agrees and Judge Torres gives a green light for Ripple to sell XRP privately.
This decision is super important for Ripple’s big plans like going public. Everyone’s watching what happens next!
