Silver outpaced gold's gains, signaling alternatives for stability-seeking investors. Bitwise CEO noted growing interest in Bitcoin among investment professionals despite market turmoil.</li>
 <li>Amid ongoing <a href="https://www.coingabbar.com/en/crypto-currency-news/crypto-mystery-iran-israel-conflict-or-pre-halving-jitters" title="Israel-Iran tensions" class="f-link" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Israel-Iran tensions</a>, Bitcoin dropped below $60K due to geopolitical concerns, rebounding to $62,000. Reports of Israeli attacks on Iran fueled market uncertainty. With the halving approaching, uncertainty persists over its impact, compounded by speculation that it's already priced in. JPMorgan predicts potential post-halving downtrend, highlighting impacts on mining companies.</li>
 <li>Speculation surrounds Fed rate cuts, with Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic favoring maintaining rates until year-end. Robust US economic data, including strong job growth, supports this stance. Uncertainty persists, with market expectations of rate cuts diminishing, potentially impacting cryptocurrency markets reliant on Fed decisions.</li>
 <li>BlackRock plans Saudi expansion after Bitcoin ETF triumph, capitalizing on CEO Larry Fink's ties with Crown Prince Mohammed.

 <li>Bitcoin holders added a record $1.7 billion worth of BTC to accumulation addresses as prices dipped below $63,000. The surge in accumulation suggests strong confidence from dedicated investors, with analysts foreseeing a potential post-halving rally. Market patterns mirror previous halving cycles, with expectations of a re-accumulation phase post-halving, potentially leading to a rapid market cycle.</li>
 <li>Ethereum's Q1 income surged to $365 million, with a yearly revenue growth of 155%, pointing to a path to $1 billion annual profits. The increase in fee revenue, primarily from DeFi activity, drove the spike. Analyst Michael Nadeau predicts crypto dominance, citing ETFs, halving, and innovation cycles as bullish factors.</li>
