Bitcoin spent the last 24 hours consolidating between $70,400 and $72,800, settling near $71,600 as renewed geopolitical uncertainty — including ongoing ceasefire disputes and Strait of Hormuz tensions — kept risk appetite in check and blocked a clean breakout above the $73,000 resistance level for the third consecutive time. Ethereum mirrored this cautious action near $2,180, while Solana made crypto history with a record 167 million unique wallet holders, up over 12% since October — proof that real adoption continues regardless of short-term price action. Blockstream CEO Adam Back addressed and refuted New York Times claims connecting him to the Satoshi Nakamoto identity, bringing clarity to one of Bitcoin's longest-running mysteries. Altcoins including XRP stayed range-bound, and tokenized real-world assets continued their quiet ascent in the background. Today's data tells two stories: price consolidation and relentless network growth — and smart money is watching both.
