Major crypto assets are rallying this week as Bitcoin nears a critical $74,000 breakout, driven by shifting geopolitical sentiment and strong institutional interest. Despite initial volatility from the U.S.-Iran conflict, crypto has outperformed traditional equities and gold this week as investors treat it as a “redemption trade”.
Bitcoin rose above $73,000, marking its strongest close in weeks. Analysts are watching the $74,000 resistance level; a decisive move above it could trigger a run toward $80,000.
The European Central Bank has introduced Appia, a new roadmap focused on the future of tokenised finance in Europe.
The initiative is designed to support the development of a European tokenised financial ecosystem while keeping central bank money at the centre of the system.
In simple terms, the ECB is preparing for a financial system where assets, transactions and settlement processes can increasingly move onto digital infrastructure such as distributed ledger technology.
It sees tokenisation as a way to improve efficiency across the lifecycle of financial assets, from issuance and trading to settlement and servicing.
The roadmap is part of a broader strategy that includes Pontes, the Eurosystem’s DLT-based settlement solution, which is expected to launch in the third quarter of 2026.
While Pontes is focused on enabling settlement in central bank money for DLT-based transactions, Appia has a wider and longer-term role in exploring how Europe’s wholesale financial ecosystem could evolve.
Bittensor (TAO) is one of the crypto assets to watch this week because it is seeing both stronger market attention and stronger liquidity. It has climbed roughly 45% over the past 7 days with daily trading volume above $537 million as of March 16.

With fresh liquidity, strong momentum and growing interest, TAO stands out as a crypto to watch this week.
