Bitcoin Surges Past $73,000 as Hot CPI Meets Fragile Ceasefire

Bitcoin surged past $73,000 on Friday, up 1.8% over the past 24 hours and 9.4% on the week, as traders weighed a hotter-than-expected March CPI report against a still-fragile U.S.-Iran ceasefire.

Ethereum followed, climbing to $2,250, up 2.0% on the day and nearly 10% over the past seven days, per CoinGecko. Solana gained 2% to $85, XRP rose 0.6% to $1.36, and BNB ticked up 0.3% to $609.

Bittensor (TAO) was the day's biggest loser among top tokens, dropping 21% to $265 after a prominent subnet developer denounced the ecosystem.
