April

<p>The world’s largest cryptocurrency Bitcoin (BTC) has continued to show strong volatility ahead of the much-awaited Bitcoin halving and the global macro impact. After making a move to $67,000 in the Asian trading hours on Monday, April 15, the <a href="https://coingape.com/price/bitcoin/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BTC price</a> cracked once again all the way to $62,500. Despite this price volatility, the Bitcoin whales have continued to show confidence accumulating at every dip.</p>

<p>On the other hand, the <a href="https://coingape.com/us-market-slump-spoils-crypto-market-recovery-bitcoin-etfs-see-net-outflows/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin ETFs</a> continue to see subdued investor demand starting the third week of April with net negative outflows. For four consecutive weeks, demand for Bitcoin ETFs has remained stagnant. However, on-chain accumulation activity remains notably active, even when excluding transactions related to ETF settlements.</p>

<h3 id="btc-market-dominance-at-three-year-high">BTC Market Dominance at Three-Year High</h3>
<p>Bitcoin’s dominance in the cryptocurrency market has reached a three-year high, fueled by strong demand for US exchange-traded funds (ETFs) holding the leading digital asset.</p>
<p>As of the end of last week, Bitcoin represented nearly 55% of the total $2.4 trillion market for virtual currencies, a level not seen since April 2021, according to data from CoinMarketCap.</p>
<p>Speculators in the crypto market are eagerly anticipating the upcoming <a href="https://coingape.com/halving/bitcoin-halving/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin halving</a>, expected to occur around April 20, which will cut the new token supply in half. Historically, previous halving events have boosted prices, but there are increasing doubts about the likelihood of a similar outcome this time, especially as Bitcoin recently reached a historic peak.</p>
