Bitcoin and Ethereum Rally Into CPI Print

On April 10, just before the CPI release, BTC climbed from $71,783 to $72,139 (7:16 AM ET), while ETH rose from $2,189 to $2,210. April ETF inflows reached record levels for BTC, ETH, and XRP, signaling a broader 'ETF boom.' Yet DeFi suffered 12+ exploits in the month, with $606 million stolen over 18 days and TVL retreating to $91.6 billion.
