DeFi Resurgence: The "DeFi United" initiative, spearheaded by Aave following the rsETH incident, has successfully raised over 100,000 ETH (approx. $232 million) to restore collateralization and confidence.

Infrastructure: Naoris Protocol and Infinity Ground have both climbed over 31%.

5. Future Projections and Risk Factors
Technical indicators suggest two primary scenarios for the coming weeks:
Scenario A (Bullish): A confirmed break above $80,000 for BTC could trigger a move toward $85,000 (+7.5%). For ETH, a move toward $2,500 (+4.7%) appears likely.
Scenario B (Consolidation): If resistance at $80k holds, the market may test support at $77,500 (BTC) and $2,300 (ETH).
Risk Factor: While sentiment is positive, traders are closely watching the April 29 FOMC meeting and global liquidity conditions. Any sudden reversal in ETF flows could dampen the current momentum.
