Bitcoin (BTC), the world’s oldest and most valued crypto, rose above the $106,000 mark early Tuesday.

Encouragingly, market performance during April 2025 suggests that Bitcoin and other digital assets may be part of the solution (Exhibit 2). In a volatile month for traditional assets — in which the VIX briefly exceeded 50% — Bitcoin’s price appreciated 15% and our market-cap weighted Crypto Sectors index gained 11%. U.S. equities declined 1% on net, with weakness led by cyclical market segments. Gold and certain foreign currencies had gains comparable to Bitcoin on a risk-adjusted basis (i.e., accounting for each asset’s volatility).

On April 10, 2025, the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance of the SEC issued a statement (Staff Statement) expressing its observations regarding certain disclosure requirements under the federal securities laws regarding the offering and registration of securities in the crypto asset markets.

Later in the month, market sentiment turned cautiously optimistic, as fresh capital entered the space through ETF proposals and large-scale acquisitions. Upexi Inc. announced the purchase of 200,000 SOL tokens worth $30 million, with more investments to follow. Similarly, a Canadian digital asset firm revealed a $500 million convertible note for SOL acquisition and staking.

US February non-farm payrolls added 151,000 jobs, with the unemployment rate slightly rising to 4.1%. After the data release, Bitcoin led the decline and hit new lows, mainly because there was a Fed interest rate meeting in March, which directly impacted the meeting, almost ensuring the Fed would not cut rates.

Trump administration’s tariff policies may exacerbate US inflation by increasing imported goods prices and reshaping global supply chains. According to calculations, if the general tariff rate reaches 15% or above, US core PCE inflation could rise to 3%, far exceeding the Fed’s 2.5% target. This will limit the Fed’s room for rate cuts, and may even force the Fed to maintain high rates longer, thereby suppressing the liquidity environment in the crypto world. But the contradiction is: if tariffs lead to increased recession risks, the Fed may be forced to cut rates earlier, and liquidity easing expectations may temporarily support the crypto market.

From a technical standpoint, the most important news from the past month was arguably the shift in development priorities by the Ethereum Foundation (EF). There are multiple elements to the changes, but from the standpoint of investing in the Ether (ETH) token, the key change, in our view, was the renewed focus on scaling the Ethereum Layer 1 (i.e., increasing the transaction throughput of the Ethereum mainnet itself). Based on EF comments on social media and elsewhere, the rough expectation seems to be a 3x increase in Layer 1 transactions per second (TPS) each year for several years, with a long-run target of 10,000 TPS (Exhibit 4). Increasing Layer 1 TPS while maintaining a degree of pricing power is the best way to increase transaction fees, reduce token supply, and support the token’s price (for more detail, see Ethereum: The OG Smart Contract Blockchain).

Additionally, it’s important to monitor the actual technical implementation effects, focusing on actual user experience improvements after the upgrade (such as reduced Gas fees, increased transaction speeds), Layer 2 scaling effects, etc. If internal personnel turmoil and governance disagreements within the Ethereum Foundation continue, it may also affect the efficiency of future upgrades.
