On April 19, 2026, the past 48 hours have been nothing short of a Hollywood blockbuster for participants in the cryptocurrency market, filled with dramatic twists and turns.
The stage of the story is the Strait of Hormuz in the Middle East—a vital artery for global energy. In just two days, news about the strait being 'open' and 'closed' acted like an invisible hand, suddenly pushing the price of Bitcoin from the platform of $73,000 to the heights of $78,000, and then mercilessly crashing it down to the abyss of $74,000.
On April 17, a major announcement spread globally through major financial news: Iran suddenly declared a 'complete opening' of the Strait of Hormuz for commercial shipping. It is important to note that the smooth flow of the Strait of Hormuz directly relates to about 20% of the world's oil supply and is one of the most important barometers of market risk sentiment.

However, just today (April 19), RAVE plummeted by 60%, leading the entire altcoin sector down and trapping countless latecomers at the peak.

Since the U.S. military announced a blockade of the world's most important oil choke point—the Strait of Hormuz on April 13, the entire financial market has held its breath. However, the deadlock was broken on April 14.

48 Hours of Frenzied Accumulation of 29,914 BTC: Strategy's 'Perpetual Motion Machine' Accelerates Again, Behind the Record $2.74 Billion Turnover of STRC Lies Bitcoin Thirst

Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) has just estimated that in the past 48 hours, this company led by Bitcoin fanatic Michael Saylor has once again accumulated an astonishing 29,914 Bitcoins at an almost frenzied pace. What does this number signify? It not only more than doubled the company's previous week's (from April 7 to 11) 'harvest' of 13,927 in just two trading days, but it also corresponds to the total supply that global Bitcoin miners would take about 66 days to mine (based on an estimated daily output of about 450 coins).

On April 15, 2026, the Ethereum mainnet successfully completed the Pectra upgrade.
The ordinary ETH address in your wallet can "transform" into a smart contract starting today—no migration, no hassle.
1. EIP-7702
For the past decade, the Ethereum account system has existed as two parallel lines: ordinary accounts (EOA) and smart contract accounts. The former is simple but has limited functionality, while the latter is powerful but has a high threshold. Do users want to use advanced features like social recovery, batch transactions, and Gas payment? They need to redeploy a smart contract wallet and migrate assets, facing various compatibility pitfalls along the way.

How have you been in these 48 hours?
From last Friday (April 12) to this Sunday (April 14), Bitcoin staged a thrilling 'V-shaped reversal' drama. In just two days, the price soared from the panic of a sharp decline, reaching a new high since the outbreak of the Iran war. This extreme battle between bulls and bears ultimately ended with over 170,000 people liquidated and more than $500 million in funds vanished.
Act One: Negotiations Break Down.
On April 12, representatives from the US and Iran parted ways unhappily after enduring a marathon negotiation lasting 21 hours. It is reported that both sides had sharp disagreements over nuclear issues and key control of the Strait, with neither side willing to compromise, leading to the breakdown of negotiations. US Vice President Pence spoke firmly at a subsequent press conference, stating that the US had clearly drawn a red line, but Iran refused to accept it. Trump even stated that the US military was prepared for military strikes.

I laughed so hard, in my community group, someone got scammed by cryptocurrency, they were used for fraudulent promotion.
Recently, I've been going out in my Binance battle robe every day, why is no one approaching me 🥲

Strait of Hormuz 'Bitcoin Toll Station' Opens: Iran Charges $1 BTC per Barrel, A Historic Moment for Censorship-Resistant Assets Entering National Sovereign Settlement

According to several foreign media reports, Iran has officially launched a disruptive rule: all oil tankers passing through the Strait of Hormuz must pay a toll of approximately 1 dollar for each barrel of crude oil loaded, with the payment method specified as Bitcoin or other censorship-resistant cryptocurrencies. Iranian military sources have confirmed that this rule has begun to be implemented under the latest two-week ceasefire agreement.
This is a sovereign country that has officially established Bitcoin, a decentralized digital asset, as the 'toll' for a national strategic channel for the first time.
Why must it be Bitcoin?

7 committee members support zero rate cuts, Powell first mentions 'not ruling out rate hikes': Why did Bitcoin hold at 70,000 in the hawkish minutes?

In the early hours of April 9th, Beijing time, details disclosed from the Federal Reserve's March FOMC meeting minutes revealed: the median dot plot suggests only one rate cut in 2026, and more shockingly—seven committee members directly support 'zero rate cuts'. At the same time, Powell publicly stated for the first time that he 'does not rule out the possibility of rate hikes', provided that inflation significantly rebounds due to energy shocks.
Typically, this configuration would be enough to make risk assets take a hit. But a strange thing happened: Bitcoin only dropped by 1.18%, firmly maintaining the psychological barrier of $70,000. What happened to the 'hawkish sell-off'?
There are a total of 19 voting members in the FOMC, with 7 supporting 'zero rate cuts in 2026', meaning that over one-third of decision-makers believe: don't expect any easing this year.
