Bitcoin holds near $78K after strong recent gains, supported by $2.1 billion in 8-day ETF inflows and tokenization momentum pushing $80K April odds to 71.5% on Polymarket. Strategy and Metaplanet continue aggressive Bitcoin accumulation, while April options expiry ($10B notional) adds volatility. Regulatory pushes include over 100 firms urging Senate action on market structure and Russia advancing its crypto trade bill. April hacks have topped $606M with North Korea-linked attacks, and Arbitrum froze $71M from Kelp DAO. Markets show cautious resilience with focus on ETF flows, geopolitical oil moves, and institutional activity.
