Buckle up, because it's been a wild ride in the crypto space this past week!Let's kick things off with the big guns - Bitcoin and Ethereum. Both heavyweights took a serious tumble, with BTC dropping below the $82,000 mark and ETH plummeting to around $2,100. This sell-off wiped out a whopping $45 billion from the total DeFi market cap since Trump's election high back in December. Ouch!Speaking of Trump, his recent executive order calling for a strategic Bitcoin reserve has been making waves. The Treasury Secretary is set to evaluate this proposal by early May, potentially giving BTC a much-needed boost. Meanwhile, US agencies have been ordered to hodl their Bitcoin stashes, which are currently worth a cool $16.19 billion. Talk about diamond hands!Now, let's dive into some DeFi drama. A major borrower on Sky (formerly Maker) is sweating bullets as their $74 million DAI loan, backed by $130 million in ETH, teeters on the edge of liquidation. They've been scrambling to shore up their position, even pulling funds from Binance to pay down the debt. It's like watching a high-stakes game of financial Jenga!On a brighter note, Solv Protocol and Soneium have joined forces to bring Bitcoin staking to Ethereum Layer 2. This partnership introduces SolvBTC, a Bitcoin-backed token, to Soneium's growing DeFi ecosystem. It's like peanut butter meeting jelly in the world of cross-chain liquidity!In the altcoin arena, XRP and Cardano have been showing some resilience, with year-to-date gains of 25.04% and 14.94% respectively. But the real dark horse has been Mantra, surging an impressive 92.71% since the start of the year. Who said meme coins were dead?Looking ahead, some analysts are eyeing key support levels for Bitcoin and Ethereum. Alaoui Capital suggests BTC could find support around $73,000, while Crypto Admiral sees potential for ETH to push above $2,460 and trigger a rally. But with the Fear and Greed Index at a chilly 17, indicating extreme fear, we might be in for more volatility.That's all for now, crypto comrades! Remember, in the world of digital assets, what goes down must come up... eventually.
