Atkins’ appointment is therefore a clear positive sign for the crypto industry. One of the world’s most important financial regulators now has a leader who is open to a regulated, transparent, but non-adversarial approach. The new administration’s goal is to create a regulatory framework that encourages innovation while protecting users.

This could be especially important ahead of the market recovery expected in the second half of 2025, when several prominent crypto analysts are expecting a significant inflow of capital again — now in a more predictable regulatory environment.

The beginning of a crypto-friendly era at the SECPaul Atkins is no stranger to financial regulation: President George W. Bush appointed him as a commissioner at the SEC from 2002 to 2008. Since then, Atkins has led the consulting firm Patomak Global Partners, which has counted banks, crypto exchanges and DeFi platforms among its clients. In an increasingly institutionalized market for digital assets, such a background speaks volumes.

The SEC announced the official inauguration of the new chairman on Monday. Earlier, on April 16, the Senate confirmed his presidential appointment by a 52-44 vote, after Donald Trump nominated him for the position on January 20.

The cryptocurrency market demonstrated significant resilience and growth this week, starkly contrasting with substantial losses in traditional finance. Bitcoin approached the $90,000 mark, reaching an intraday high of $88,527, representing a 2.61% gain. This upward momentum extended to alternative digital assets, with tokens like CVX surging over 21% within 24 hours, occurring concurrently with reports of $1.5 trillion vanishing from Wall Street.

This bullish turn is significantly fueled by increasing institutional demand and corporate treasury allocation to digital assets. Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), a leading corporate holder, announced the acquisition of another 6,556 bitcoin for $555.8 million between April 14 and 20, bringing their total holdings to a staggering 538,200 BTC. This ongoing accumulation, alongside purchases by firms like Metaplanet, underscores a growing trend of integrating Bitcoin into corporate balance sheets as a strategic asset.

Further validating the maturing market, regulatory developments are expanding access to digital assets within traditional frameworks. Coinbase Derivatives recently listed CFTC-regulated futures contracts for XRP on its US exchange, offering both standard and nano contracts to cater to diverse investor types. This move, following earlier listings for SOL and HBAR, signifies growing demand for regulated crypto derivatives in the US and aligns with a broader trend among exchanges to meet rising investor interest.

1. Market Overview

Markets remain stuck in a tight range this week, still weighed down by the lingering uncertainty around Trump’s trade war. The risk-off mood has kept price action muted, but there are early signs of progress as the U.S. and China have finally reopened dialogue — a step in the right direction that could ease tensions and unlock some relief for both equities and crypto.

At the same time, the conversation is shifting back to the Fed, as more voices on Wall Street question whether policymakers are once again "late to the party" on rate cuts. As Bank of America pointed out this week:

"The Fed cut 50bps in September when the stock market was at record highs and Atlanta Fed was forecasting +3% US GDP growth; now the Fed appears determined not to cut rates, even after a 20% market plunge, while the Atlanta Fed is forecasting -3% GDP growth."

This growing disconnect between economic reality and policy is adding another layer of tension — but also sets the stage for a potentially sharp market reaction once the Fed moves👀

2. ETF Flows

This week’s ETF flows were fairly muted, reflecting the broader market indecision. Bitcoin ETFs managed to stay in positive territory with $13.7 million in inflows, showing steady demand despite the choppy price action. On the other hand, Ethereum ETFs saw $32.3 million in outflows, suggesting that some investors are still rotating away from ETH or waiting for clearer catalysts before adding exposure. Overall, a quiet but telling week as the market continues to digest macro uncertainty🤔

• BTC ETFs: +$13,7 million
• ETH ETFs: -$32,3 million

3. On-Chain Data

• Coinbase Premium: Positive✅
• Exchange Reserves: Low✅
• MVRV Ratio: 1.93 (Cycle Top Above 3.7)✅
• Net Unrealized Profit/Loss (NUPL): 48 (Cycle Top Above 75)✅

• CMC Fear and Greed Index: 34 (Fear)✅

Meanwhile, Bitcoin wallets holding between 10 and 10,000 $BTC — now control 67.77% of the total supply. Despite the recent market swings in April, these wallets have stayed in accumulation mode, adding more than 53,600 BTC since March 22nd. A strong sign of confidence from the smart money!👀
