Bitcoin hovered around $66,000–$67,000 over the long Easter weekend amid thin liquidity and low institutional activity. Markets were quiet due to the holiday, but several key factors kept traders cautious:
Geopolitical Pressure: Trump's threat to strike Iran "extremely hard" triggered a risk-off selloff, pushing BTC briefly below $66,300 on Thursday — down ~2.8% from midweek highs.
Whale Selling: Large holders who accumulated ~200,000 BTC during the 2024 bull run have turned net sellers, outpacing buying from spot ETFs and corporate treasuries.
Regulatory Win: Coinbase received conditional OCC approval for a national trust company charter — a big step toward federal-level crypto regulation and institutional custody.
Altcoins: Mostly flat. $ETH ~$2,050, XRP ~$1.31, $SOL and BNB slightly up, DOGE and Cardano marginally lower.
$BTC remains well below its 2025 peak of $126,000, reflecting broader market cooling.
