Market Recap:
After the multiple-month bottom formation, crypto bulls successfully set a price floor. Last month, we saw a strong rebound in crypto markets. The strong uptick was thanks to institutional investors, large public buyers, as well as retail investors. Notably, major public purchasers, such as MicroStrategy [MSTR:US] and the Terra giant Luna Foundation Guard (LFG) continued to absorb sell pressure and push the price to break out of the consolidation range. MicroStrategy announced on April 5 that it bought another 4,167 BTC for around $190.5mm, with holding a total of 129,218 BTC. Besides, based on the data from Glass Node, the BTC balance of the LFG wallet address stood at 35,767 BTC on April 6, a net addition of 26,464 BTC (~$1.2bn.)
Last month, BTC prices traded between a monthly low of $37,555 and a new local high of $48,189, while ETH prices traded between a monthly low of $2,493 and a new local high of $3,580.
According to CoinGecko, the top 100 DeFi tokens’ market cap increased from $117.3bn on March 10 to $130.66bn at the time of writing, up 11.37% MoM. The DeFi dominance in the crypto space currently sits at 6.3%, a net increase of 0.1 ppts from the previous month.
According to DeFi Llama, the total value locked (TVL) also surged from $203.18bn to the current level of $221.45bn, increasing 8.99% MoM. Around 7.8mm ETH and 177.2k BTC are locked in DeFi respectively at the time of writing, citing data from DeFi Pulse.
