War and the Market Aftermath | Mudrex Weekly Digest

Hey there! Welcome back to the weekly digest. This is a curated look at the stories that shaped the past week, and the trends to keep an eye on next.

📊 Market Summary

It’s been a relatively better week for crypto following weeks of macro-chaos, with events aligning to give the numbers a boost. Most top coins ended the week in green, with Bitcoin [BTC] rising up to $69K.

📰 News Roundup

Markets pushed higher despite the latest mixed signals.

1. U.S President Donald Trump threatened strikes if the Strait of Hormuz isn’t reopened, but also said Iran is “negotiating now” with a possible deal within 24 hours. The market saw a 2.5% push overall in the aftermath.
2. Drift Protocol disclosed new details on its April 1 exploit ($280M+), saying the operation was months in the making and involved highly sophisticated tactics. The incident is a reminder that operational security and governance controls can be as critical as code-level audits in DeFi risk management.
3. Crude oil’s 12-month rate of change is around 91%, nearing a historical “danger zone” some analysts say has preceded major drawdowns when it crosses 100%.

⭐ Coin of the Week: Algorand [ALGO]

The report also noted that Bitcoin and Ethereum [ETH] may face slower upgrade paths, making Algorand look better positioned for future security needs.

Adding to the narrative are reports of SWIFT testing ISO 20022 with Algorand and a Visa/Quantoz collaboration enabling near-instant payments.

Algorand [ALGO] was the top gainer this week, surging nearly 50%! A Google Quantum AI paper mentioned Algorand’s advanced cryptography (Falcon signatures, state proofs, secure key rotation), giving it the boost in trader interest.
