Bitcoin Rises with Improved Risk Sentiment, Altcoins Dragged Down by Security Incidents

BroadChain has learned that at 20:16 on April 21, according to CoinDesk, following a DeFi security incident over the weekend, Bitcoin's price rose while altcoins continued to face pressure. The market is closely monitoring the tensions in the Middle East and shifts in risk sentiment. Bitcoin is currently up 0.8% to $66,200, while Ethereum has fallen 1.5% to $3,150. Over the weekend, the decentralized exchange FixedFloat was attacked, resulting in losses of approximately $2.6 million, intensifying market concerns about the security of altcoins and the DeFi sector, leading to capital flowing into core assets like Bitcoin. Meanwhile, tensions between Israel and Iran remain a key variable affecting macro risk sentiment.
