BTC and altcoin markets get a pump

This market surge has been boosted by a resurgence of the largest cryptocurrency, which catalyzed altcoins’ uptick. On April 22, 2025, Bitcoin regained the $90k mark for the initial time since March as traders and investors pumped money into the crypto for a second day amidst persistent stock market turmoil and dropping dollar’s value.

Today, BTC’s value rose by 1.9% from yesterday, currently standing at $93,789. The asset’s price has been up 10.8% and 15.4% over the past week and two weeks ago, respectively. It’s away from its April low now by 25.9%.

The current price of Bitcoin is $93,789.

The recent BTC price rise above the $90k level has triggered a crypto market rally with altcoins posting significant gains. Today, ETH recorded an increase of 2.80%, currently hovering at $1,775. Its price has been up 11.67% over the last seven days. Other prominent altcoins also followed suit, with XRP rising to $2.19 while BNB, SOL, and DOGE also registered impressive rebounds, ranging from 3.47% to 17.46% over the past week.

Factors fuelling market comeback

The resurgence comes amid multiple factors boosting renewed confidence in the crypto market. A key catalyst for this renewed money flow into the market is the growing activity in spot markets and rejuvenated influxes into US Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs. On April 21, US Bitcoin ETFs pulled in $381 million, the highest daily inflow since January this year.

Institutional enthusiasm also remains robust. On April 21, Microstrategy bought another 6,556 Bitcoin worth $550 million into its portfolio. This continued acquisition highlights restored confidence in the crypto market

Also, the wider macroeconomic environment currently favors the crypto market. First, US-China trade wars appear cooling down. Money supply M2 in China has surged to an unprecedented high of $44.7 trillion, encouraging investors to add anti-inflation assets, including Bitcoin and Gold, into their portfolios. Furthermore, the crypto market has gained revived strength following the appointment of crypto advocate Paul Atkins as the new SEC chairman.

Lastly, the market jump and improved risk asset sentiment come after Trump heightened pressure on Fed chair Jerome Powell to reduce interest rates
