BTC/USD 1-hour candle chart (Bitstamp). Source: TradingView"Rough" price action keeps Bitcoin traders cautious
Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed BTC/USD traded near $29,000 on Bitstamp, up nearly $2,000 from the prior day’s low.
Snap volatility had kicked in following the Wall Street open as bulls’ trip to $30,000 was rudely interrupted by fears that BTC from wallets controlled by the U.S. government and entities related to defunct exchange Mt. Gox were on the move.
As Cointelegraph reported, the claims turned out to be false, but not before wiping a large slice of open interest from derivatives markets and sending BTC/USD down 7%.
A subsequent recovery returned the pair to $29,500 before consolidation kicked in.

Circle CEO warns of active and accelerating de-dollarization
The United States must implement stablecoin legislation and digitize the U.S. dollar (USD) to mitigate the “very active de-dollarization taking place” around the world right now, says Jeremy Allaire, the chief executive of stablecoin issuer Circle.
Allaire’s comments at the Consensus 2023 conference on Wednesday, April 25, were made in light of the recent U.S. banking crisis.
The Circle — the stablecoin issuer behind USD Coin (USDC) — CEO called on Congress and the Federal Reserve to take action otherwise alternative currencies and payment systems will continue to eat into the dollar’s dominance:
“We have a very active de-dollarization taking place. You're having very significant reactions to the U.S. risks in the U.S. banking system, risks with the US government itself, a geopolitical imposition on many parts of the world [and] the desire for alternative payment systems all around the world.
“This is happening and it's accelerating,” he added.
