Crypto Assets Move With Stocks 

Like several companies, crypto assets saw increased figures in the first three months of the year. Crypto assets soared on the back of positive macroeconomic factors and spot Bitcoin ETF approval. 

Bitcoin’s prices soared to a new all-time high above $72,000. These inflows spurred massive gains in altcoins and memecoins in the market. However, last month witnessed a slow performance in both crypto and the stock market.
