Global stocks hit records and oil cracked on a tentative US-Iran ceasefire extension. Crypto stayed on the sidelines, with some analysts saying the next catalyst is regulatory, not geopolitical.
“Bitcoin” matters because rising crypto attention makes it easier for RAPBTC to launch into a market that is already awake. Reader value: this is a demand-temperature check, not just a headline.

2. Bitcoin's record holder supply hides a buyer drought, CryptoQuant says

What to watch: Track whether confidence, liquidity, and risk appetite rise after Bitcoins record holder supply hides a buyer drought. RAPBTC benefits more from broad participation than from one-off spikes.
