Bitcoin rose above $78,000 after Iran said the Strait of Hormuz was open to commercial shipping during the ceasefire period. CoinGlass data showed about $815 million in 24-hour liquidations. Most of the liquidations hit short traders. Major altcoins also posted gains. Donald Trump said a U.S. naval blockade on Iran would remain until a deal is complete (reported 32 min ago)

Iran said the Strait of Hormuz was completely open to commercial vessels for the remaining ceasefire period. Iran said vessels must follow coordinated routes set by its maritime authorities. Oil prices fell more than 10% after the statement. Hapag-Lloyd said it would continue to avoid the strait for now (reported 4 hours ago)

Crude oil fell more than 12% after Iran said the Strait of Hormuz was open during the ceasefire. American Bitcoin rose more than 21%. Donald Trump said peace talks were progressing (reported 3 hours ago)

 Regulation & Policy
A class action in Massachusetts accuses Circle of failing to freeze more than $230 million in stolen funds that attackers moved from Solana to Ethereum through CCTP during the April 1 Drift hack. Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire said earlier this week that Circle should freeze assets only after receiving a court order.

 Institutional Updates
X's Cashtags pilot recorded an estimated $1 billion in stock and crypto trading volume since launch this week.

Payward agreed to acquire Bitnomial for up to $550 million in cash and stock, which would give Kraken's parent company a fully licensed U.S. derivatives stack with brokerage, clearing, and exchange capabilities.

Tether committed $127.5 million to Drift Protocol's recovery framework, and the framework requires Drift to move its settlement layer from USDC to USDT on Solana.

 What to Watch
If major carriers resume Hormuz transits or operating conditions become clearer, then the reopening is becoming more durable. Adding exposure only after that confirmation is a potential entry signal. Continued uncertainty over mines, transit conditions, or fees would keep false-break risk high.

If Bitcoin stays above $78,000 and the Strait of Hormuz remains open, then the relief move is still intact. Adding exposure after confirmation can align with the broader relief move. A move back toward $74,695 or a fresh jump in liquidations would warn that positioning is becoming unstable again.]]></description>
