## Resource

BTC crossed $80K for the first time since January. Then an Iran missile report hit the wire. It's back at $79K. Fear & Greed dropped 7 points to 40. The rally was real. The ceiling still isn't. Today's key developments: • BTC crossed $80K for the first time since January - then an Iran missile report erased the move in hours, sending ETH, SOL, and DOGE sharply lower. • Kraken's parent Payward closed its $550 million acquisition of Bitnomial, securing a full CFTC-regulated derivatives stack - and simultaneously filed a $25 million fraud lawsuit against custody partner Etana. • MegaETH TVL surged more than 400% in 7 days. Total L2 TVL across all chains rose more than 5% this week. ApeChain added nearly 19%. Meanwhile, Manta Pacific lost more than 17% and Soneium dropped nearly 12%. 📰 Read the full Daily Pulse: https://pulse.tokenmetrics.com/p/btc-touched-80k-then-iran-news-hit-may-4-2026?utm_source=spreaker&utm_medium=audio&utm_campaign=daily_pulse_podcast 🔔 Subscribe for daily crypto market updates! ⚠️ Disclaimer: This content is for educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice.
