Bitcoin clawed back above $76,000 at the start of the week, holding firmer than much of the wider digital-asset market even as decentralised finance absorbed the shock of a major exploit tied to KelpDAO that has drained close to $300 million and triggered a sharp retreat in capital across lending and restaking platforms. Market pricing on 21 April showed bitcoin near $75,745 after touching an intraday high […]

Bitcoin held above $74,000 through the latest stretch of trading, finding support from a softer-than-feared U.
