What is blockchain? A simple explanation
Blockchain is the foundation of cryptocurrency, but it’s more than just digital money, it’s a revolutionary way to store and secure data.
Each block in a blockchain contains:
Transaction data: Details of transfers, such as sender, receiver, and amount.
A unique hash: A digital fingerprint that identifies the block.
The previous block’s hash: This links blocks together, forming an immutable chain.
Once recorded, a block cannot be changed, making blockchain tamper-proof and highly secure.
Instead of relying on banks or central authorities, blockchain operates through a decentralized network of computers (nodes). Every transaction is verified by these nodes using consensus mechanisms such as the Proof of Work (PoW) and Proof of Stake (PoS).
Blockchain’s security lies in its immutability, encryption, and transparency. No single entity controls the system, and all transactions are verifiable by the network.
Beyond cryptocurrency, blockchain is being adopted in finance, supply chains, healthcare, and even voting systems. Understanding this technology is one of the first step toward exploring the crypto market.

#XRP is currently trading within a well-defined downward channel, showing lower highs and lower lows on the daily chart. Despite recent price suppression, big moves are happening in the background – moves that may significantly change the game for XRP holders.
Ripple’s acquisition of Hidden Road, now officially licensed by FINRA, has been downplayed by louder news but is a very important event to know about.
Hidden Road Partners CIV US LLC is a US-based affiliate of Hidden Road Partners, a global prime brokerage platform. It operates within the financial services industry, focusing on providing institutional clients with access to clearing, financing, and execution services across multiple asset classes, including fixed income, foreign exchange, and digital assets.
Ripple’s move is not just a flex, but a strategic infrastructural leap. Hidden Road’s regulatory green light allows Ripple to expand into traditional finance (TradFi) with a prime brokerage platform tailored for institutions. This gives Ripple a unique edge in integrating crypto with traditional capital markets, making it the first crypto firm to own a multi-asset global prime broker.
Yet XRP’s price hasn’t reflected the importance of this development. Hovering around $2, XRP remains near the lower end of its trading range. Some analysts argue that this isn’t market apathy, but a deliberate Ripple-driven dynamic. However, there is also the macro background, with tariffs and trade war escalation that press on riskier assets, be it equity or crypto. At the same time, recent Trump criticisms of Fed Chair J. Powell for the lack of rate cuts might be the first signal of a monetary policy turnaround. The lower the rates, the stronger the riskier assets.
Adding to the nervousness are meme-coins aftereffects: meme-coins and AI tokens continue to dominate retail interest, and DeFi adoption is rising in conflict zones like Yemen.
Technically speaking, XRP is still locked in a bearish channel, struggling to break through the upper-edge resistance. Recent candles show consolidation near this upper edge of the channel, hinting at indecision: a breakout, or a move lower? While fundamentals are heating up, the market is waiting for a strong catalyst to break or continue the trend.
All eyes are now on whether Ripple’s new TradFi integration will be the fuel XRP needs to finally break out of its downtrend.

Key market news and statistics | April 22:
🔹 Trump’s thoughts on Jerome Powell’s firing fuel rally in Gold and Crypto
🔹 China installs Gold ATMs that verify the metal’s purity, credit the amount to the bank account in under 30 minutes.
🔹 International investors continued to dump US bonds, moving savings to EUR and CHF instead
🔹 Gold completed our last 2025 Forecast scenario, $3400/oz target reached
🔹 EURUSD completed our 2025 Forecast scenario, reaching 1.14975
🔹 The Dollar Index (DXY) hits a three-year low
🔹 After the unrespected Easter ceasefire, the war in Ukraine continues as before
🔹 Witkoff is expected to visit Russia at the end of the week
🔹 China warns countries against striking a deal with the US at its expense
🥇 Gold
#XAUUSD reached a new $3500/oz ATH, completing our 2025 recession scenario (and no recession has happened yet!). The rally has been vertical most of the week, giving traders little hope of entering the market lower on a technical price correction. More news dropped, each providing new bullish fuel and extending the upward momentum, starting with the continuing escalation of reciprocal US-China trade conflict measures and ending with Donald Trump’s words on Fed Chair J. Powell's imminent firing. If he were to be fired, gold might extend the rally further with a big leap, as the successor monetary policy Head would likely cut the rates fast, following Trump’s demands.
Since April 08, #XAUUSD has gained $525 (+17.2%) without a major pullback. As we said last week, a verticalization at the end of a prolonged bullish trend is often the last leap of the rally, which is always followed by a stronger correction. The only thing is… that fundamentals continue to tell the story of an unending list of bullish reasons for the precious metal to go higher. If the pullback comes, use the Fibonacci tool to understand where the 0.5 – 0.618 levels are, to enter the market long on a correction. If gold rises again, you can only “buy by market” and use a trailing Stop-Loss. In any case, the faster the rise, the stronger the fall afterwards.
💰 Bitcoin
Last week, we told you to monitor the range closely and use a range-trading strategy. On Monday, following the rumors of a possible Fed Chair replacement (and thus, of an even weaker dollar coming on new Fed rate cuts), #BTC soared to $87,700, breaking out of the channel. If dollar weakness were to persist, along with a possible inflation rebound, Bitcoin would benefit with strong bullish momentum.
However, it remains to be seen whether the price manages to continue this rally. Other fundamental factors, such as the growing trade tension between China and the US, might continue to provide bearish catalysts to the leading cryptocurrency. If the breakout is confirmed after a retest, you can enter long, with a Stop-Loss below the retest area. If, however, BTC were to return to the downward channel, we advise caution and a short-oriented approach, with targets as low as $74,400.

The Eurodollar reached our last 1.14975 target, following last week’s Market Overview prediction. The ECB delivered a 0.25% rate cut, but it was not enough to stop buying sentiment from soaring. The number of investors losing faith in the USD is growing by the day, with many of them selling USD-denominated securities (that’s why the US Treasury yields continue to increase) and moving their investments elsewhere. Historically, the strongest currencies after the US dollar are considered to be the Euro, the Franc, and the Yen (and gold, of course). As a result, #EURUSD gained 11.50% since the beginning of 2025, #USDCHF lost 11.15%, #USDJPY lost 10.60% YTD, and XAUUSD is up 29% YTD.
We believe that this influx of funds into European assets will remain positive only until the effects of a prolonged trade war are manifest. The probability of a recession in the US continues to grow, and the Euro Area is pretty connected to the global USD-backed financial system. In any case, while the trend persists to the upside, why not trade it? Use the same strategy as for gold, because the pair is heavily overbought, and a correction lower might provide you with better entry points.
