Bitcoin (BTC) has entered a consolidation phase after rallying almost 10% this week despite trading marginally lower during the ongoing session. The flagship cryptocurrency maintained its position above $90,000 despite facing substantial selling pressure, falling to a low of $91,678 before rebounding. BTC is marginally up over the past 24 hours and trading around $93,743. It has registered an increase of almost 11% over the past week. Bitcoin ETF Inflows Hit Four-Month Highs Spot Bitcoin ETFs continued to attract interest this week as institutional interest supported the flagship cryptocurrency’s rally. According to data from SoSoValue, spot Bitcoin ETFs registered a total net inflow of $2.68 billion as of Thursday, the highest since mid-December, when Bitcoin surged past the $100,000 mark for the first time. BTC could rally further if inflows continue. Additionally, demand for Bitcoin from public companies remains strong, with Michael Saylor’s Strategy announcing the acquisition of 6,556 BTC this week for $555.8 million. Japanese investment firm Metaplanet also announced the purchase of 330 BTC for $28.2 million. The firm followed this up with another purchase of 145 BTC on Thursday, taking its total holdings past 5,000 BTC . This buying activity is bullish for the flagship cryptocurrency, increasing demand and reducing circulation. If buying activity persists, Bitcoin could reclaim $100,000. However, analysts expect short-term price fluctuations to persist. Paul Atkins Sworn In As SEC Chair Paul Atkins was sworn in as the 34th Chairman of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) this week. Atkins previously served as SEC Commissioner under the Bush administration. Atkins is known for his friendly approach to the digital asset industry, serving as the co-chair of the Token Alliance at the Digital Chamber of Commerce since 2017. He has advocated for clarity in crypto regulation and innovation-friendly policies. He has also been directly involved with the crypto industry. The crypto industry has welcomed Atkins’ appointment due to the expectation of a friendlier and less punitive regulatory framework for digital assets. Atkins stated after he was sworn in, “I am honored by the trust and confidence President Trump and the Senate have placed in me to lead the SEC. As I return to the SEC, I am pleased to join my fellow Commissioners and the agency’s dedicated professionals to advance its mission to facilitate capital formation; maintain fair, orderly, and efficient markets and protect investors. Together we will work to ensure that the U.S. is the best and most secure place in the world to invest and do business.” Robert Kiyosaki Makes Yet Another Bitcoin Prediction Rich Dad Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki has warned of deepening financial instability in the US and urged individuals to take control of their economic futures by making strategic investments in assets like Bitcoin . The author predicted that a “Great Depression” is coming and bet on Bitcoin, stating it would rise to $200,000 this year and soar to $1 million by 2035. “Makes me sad: In 2025, credit card debt is at all-time highs. U.S. debt is at an all-time high. Unemployment is rising. 401ks are losing. Pensions are being stolen. The US may be heading for a Great Depression.” The author expressed concern for those ignoring his warnings but reiterated they could build wealth if they took immediate and decisive action. Kiyosaki advocates investing in what he describes as the “three pillars” of protection: Gold, Silver, and Bitcoin. The author recently discussed Silver, stating, “I am buying more silver eagles today. The good news is Silver is the biggest investment bargain today. Gold has already hit all-time highs. I have plenty of Bitcoin, and Silver is still 50% below its all-time high today, about $35. I believe Silver will 2x to $70 this year.” Bitcoin (BTC) Price Analysis Bitcoin (BTC) is consolidating above $93,000 after registering a substantial rally this week that saw the price jump over 10%. The rally was fueled by market developments, Trump’s climbdown in the trade war against China, and clarity about Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s tenure. Rising spot Bitcoin ETF inflows also buoyed investor sentiment. The flagship cryptocurrency will target $95,000, with analysts optimistic about short-term gains. An analyst from QCP Capital stated, “With BTC holding firmly above $90K, sentiment is becoming increasingly optimistic. Call options at $95K strikes for end-April and end-May expiries have dominated flow, pointing to a tactical appetite for further upside. Still, with macro risks temporarily subdued and trade tensions cooling, BTC is likely to consolidate in a narrow $90K–$94.5K range while awaiting a decisive push toward the elusive $100K mark.” BTC has registered substantial movement this week after remaining relatively muted the week prior. The price dropped over 1% on Tuesday (April 15) before recovering on Wednesday, registering a marginal increase and settling at $84,034. BTC continued to push higher on Thursday, rising 1.10% to cross the 50-day SMA and settle at $84,956. Despite the positive sentiment, BTC registered a marginal decline on Friday and settled at $84,518. Price action turned positive over the weekend as BTC rose 0.61% on Saturday and 0.22% on Sunday to reclaim $85,000 and settle at $85,224. Source: TradingView BTC started the current week on a bullish note, rising almost 3% to surge past $87,000 and settle at $87,508. Bullish sentiment intensified on Tuesday as BTC rallied nearly 7% to reclaim $90,000 and settle at $93,380. The price encountered volatility on Wednesday thanks to selling pressure at higher levels. However, BTC registered a marginal increase despite selling pressure and settled at $93,744. BTC fell to an intraday low of $91,678 Thursday as sellers attempted to drive it below $90,000. However, bulls did not cede ground, and the price rebounded to register a marginal increase and settle above $94,000. The current session sees BTC up almost 1%, trading above $94,000, recovering from an intraday low of $92,901. With BTC on the verge of claiming the $95,000 level, a push to $100,000 could be on the horizon for the flagship cryptocurrency. Disclaimer: This article is provided for informational purposes only.

The post Ljubljana Becomes World’s Most Crypto-Friendly City, Beating Hong Kong, Singapore appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia, has just hit a massive milestone by securing the top spot as the world’s most crypto-friendly city, according to the 2025 Crypto Cities Index by Multipolitan . Beating out the biggest cities like Hong Kong, Zurich, and Singapore, Ljubljana is quickly becoming a leader in using crypto every day. Let’s take a closer look at why this small city is winning big in the crypto world. Easy Access to Crypto in Ljubljana One of the key reasons Ljubljana has reached the top is its outstanding crypto infrastructure. The city has made it easy for locals and visitors to use digital currencies with over 150 crypto ATMs spread across town. Many local shops also accept crypto as payment, which makes it easy for people to use digital money every day, boosting the city’s reputation as a crypto-friendly hub. Local support has played a big role in Ljubljana’s rise as a crypto leader. The Blockchain Alliance Europe, for example, helped businesses and people bring together those who are interested in crypto. Local Platform Blocksquare’s Thriving Another reason Ljubljana is doing so well is because of local platforms like Blocksquare. It’s a platform that helps turn real estate into digital assets (tokens). Recently, it has partnered with Vera Capital for a $1 billion deal . This helps show the world that Ljubljana is serious about crypto and can be a global player in the digital world. Slovenia’s Crypto Wealth Slovenia, where Ljubljana is located, also ranks high in crypto wealth. On average, people in Slovenia have $240,500 in digital assets, more crypto than people in countries like the UK and the US. This shows that people in Slovenia trust and invest in crypto, adding to Ljubljana’s reputation as a crypto-friendly city. Slovenia to impose 25% on Crypto Gains However, there is a concern. The Slovenian government is planning to introduce a 25% tax on personal crypto gains starting in 2026. While this could bring in money for the government, some people worry it might stop new crypto ideas from coming to Slovenia. Despite all, Ljubljana is proving that a city’s size doesn’t matter, it’s the vision that counts in shaping the future of the crypto world.
A March 31 Finbold report found that Elon Musk’s tenure with the Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E.) coincided with a 40% decline in the number of Dogecoin ( DOGE ) millionaire addresses, with the billionaire’s historical influence on the meme coin hinting at causation rather than mere correlation. However, on April 8, a process was initiated that culminated in the businessman announcing the winding down of D.O.G.E. involvement, due to a tariff spat with Pete Navarro, President Donald Trump’s trade advisor. By April 25, Finbold Research had found that Musk’s anticipated exit led to the emergence of 183 new DOGE millionaires – a 14.33% increase compared to April 8, the starting date of mounting tensions between Elon Musk, the Trump administration, and their joint government efforts via D.O.G.E. Specifically, the number of addresses holding between $1 million and $9.99 million worth of Dogecoin increased from 1,082 to 1,223 since the initial reported dispute, while the number of those worth $10 million or more rose by 21.54% from 195 to 237. How Musk’s involvement with D.O.G.E. impacted DOGE The comparison with both March 31 and April 8 demonstrates that the total number of DOGE millionaires first dropped from 1,366 to 1,277 and then increased to 1,460, demonstrating that the direction hasn’t been entirely steady. Notably, the period also saw a dramatic change in Dogecoin’s cryptocurrency market performance. Between March 31 and April 8, DOGE’s price dropped from $0.167 to a low of $0.142, and the meme coin’s market capitalization plunged from approximately $24 billion to about $19.7 billion. Between April 8 and press time on April 25, however, Dogecoin’s price rallied 27.46% to $0.181, and the cryptocurrency’s market cap increased by some $7.1 billion as it climbed to just under $27 billion. Elon Musk’s historical impact on Dogecoin Elon Musk’s historical impact cannot be dismissed, as the billionaire has served as a relatively regular trigger for major price swings since he first described Dogecoin as his favorite such cryptocurrency. Similarly, the impact the South African-Canadian-American billionaire has had on assets closely associated with him is amply demonstrated by the issues Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA ) has faced in the stock market and on the business side. In a report published on April 24, Finbold research revealed that the first quarter (Q1) of 2025 has been especially weak for the electric vehicle ( EV ) maker is witnessed a 37.2% year-over-year (YoY) drop in sales in Europe, with Musk’s controversial political engagements being a likely driver for the disappointing numbers. !function(e,n,i,s){var d="InfogramEmbeds";var o=e.getElementsByTagName(n)[0];if(window[d]&&window[d].initialized)window[d].process&&window[d].process();else if(!e.getElementById(i)){var r=e.createElement(n);r.async=1,r.id=i,r.src=s,o.parentNode.insertBefore(r,o)}}(document,"script","infogram-async","https://e.infogram.com/js/dist/embed-loader-min.js"); Indeed, internationally, the billionaire has courted controversy, for example, by endorsing divisive political parties. In the U.S., allegations of monitoring government employees for anti-Trump sentiment using artificial intelligence ( AI ) have been just some of the many actions that have cost him approval. Elon Musk’s 2025 impact on Dogecoin In the case of Dogecoin, the situation isn’t as clear. Not only has the price of the meme coin increased significantly more than the number of millionaire addresses, but other factors such as the latest across-the-board rally and cryptocurrencies’ increasing correlation with gold , one of 2025’s best-performing investments, are also in play. Nonetheless, it is difficult to miss that the alleged Musk-Trump dispute marked a low point for Dogecoin, and the road has been overwhelmingly positive since then.

Chinese Embassy: No Consultation or Negotiation on Tariffs with the US. US Should Stop Creating Confusion.
Experts told Decrypt that address poisoning scams are on the rise, with attackers deploying a “pray-and-prey” tactic to find victims.
UK retail sales recorded a surge of 1.6% for the first quarter of the year, the strongest reading in four years. The figures also provided a 0.08 percentage point boost to the UK’s overall economic output for Q1. The UK reported the best Q1 since 2021 in what may be a boost for the economy, amid rising bills and the U.S. trade war increasingly weighing on consumer morale. The International Monetary Fund noted that trade barriers were at the highest level in a century, even after Trump’s pause on reciprocal tariffs. UK reports rise in retail sales for Q1 Mixed UK consumer data this morning. To the positive side, another decent month (March) for retail sales, up 0.4% MoM and 1.6% QoQ. Sales volumes at their highest since July 2022, driven by weather-dependent items after the one of the sunniest March on record (1/2) pic.twitter.com/kCojvxyxzB — Simon French (@Frencheconomics) April 25, 2025 British retailers reported a surge of 1.6% in retail sales for the first quarter of the year. The data provided a 0.08 percentage point boost to overall economic output for Q1, which may prove to be a high watermark for Britain’s consumer economy for the foreseeable future. The Office of National Statistics noted on Friday that retail sales rose by 0.4% in March alone, following a downwardly revised growth of 0.7% in February. A Reuters poll of economists had also forecasted a month-on-month fall of 0.4%. Data from UK’s consumer confidence report showed a drop in April to its lowest level since late 2023. Market research company GfK suggested rising household energy bills and uncertain global financial markets as reasons for the fall. Head of Commercial Content at Retail Economics Nicholas Found acknowledged that British retailers face an uphill battle to protect margins, sustain investment, and navigate an increasingly complex trading environment. He also argued that the outlook is further clouded by uncertainty around U.S. trade tariffs, which can potentially disrupt shipments if orders are canceled. UK expects growth shock amid Trump’s trade policies Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey mentioned on Thursday he was focused on an expected shock to growth from U.S. President Donald Trump’s trade policies and retaliatory measures by other countries. The Office of National Statistics also noted that clothing and outdoor retail chains said weather helped sales last month despite supermarkets struggling. The UK’s two biggest food retailers, Tesco and Sainsbury’s, warned that profit growth was unlikely this year amid a potential price war. Bailey highlighted that the UK economy faces a “growth shock” as a result of Trump’s trade policies. He spoke on the sidelines of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) meetings in Washington and argued that while he did not think the UK was close to recession at the moment, “we are certainly quite focused on the growth shock.” Earlier this week, the IMF lowered its 2025 growth forecast for the UK to 1.1% from the 1.6% it had been expecting as recently as January prior to tariff announcements. The financial institution’s downgrade followed similar negative revisions by the Bank and the government’s independent forecaster, the Office for Budget Responsibility. Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves is expected to discuss the prospects for a UK-U.S. trade agreement when she meets with the U.S. Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent. She also mentioned on Wednesday the UK was “not going to rush” into a deal. “We think that ratcheting up benefits no one, and instead, we’re approaching the dialogue with cool heads and a pragmatic realism about what we want to achieve.” -Rachel Reeves, Chancellor of the Exchequer. Britain recently offered other concessions, such as reducing the 1 billion euro digital service tax, which affects U.S. tech firms. Reeves also added she would be prepared to cut tariffs on some U.S. imports if it helped to seal an agreement. She insisted food standards and other regulations were not up for negotiation. IMF’s managing director, Kristalina Georgieva, praised the UK’s growth policies and also applauded Reeves’s efforts to lift up growth in the UK. She noted that Reeves was tackling tough issues, including prioritizing spending and making the regulatory environment more rational. Cryptopolitan Academy: Want to grow your money in 2025?
