Velora plans to leverage the Across Protocol to enable users to perform cross-chain swaps in a single transaction. Cross-chain interoperability is one of the most important trends in crypto today. On Thursday, April 17, DEX platform Velora partnered with Across Protocol. In a press release shared with crypto.news, the company stated that the partnership will allow users to easily swap assets across multiple chains. The integration of the Across Protocol will enable Velora users to trade assets across more than 17 chains. Moreover, traders will be able to execute swaps between any of these chains in a single transaction. Typically, swapping assets across chains involves wrapping tokens, bridging them to another chain, and then swapping the wrapped tokens on a DEX that supports the pair. The process can be technical for inexperienced users. While Velora still sources liquidity from several DEXs, the entire process will now function behind the scenes, thanks to the Across Protocol. According to Mounir Benchemled, founder of Velora, this is a major step toward making complex blockchain operations seamless for users. “By combining Velora’s trading optimization with Across’ crosschain capabilities, we’re creating a unified experience that makes complex blockchain interactions seamless,” Benchemled, Velora. Cross-chain swaps will focus on the Ethereum (ETH) ecosystem, bridging 17 Ethereum virtual machine-compatible chains. The company states that this is an important step in making the EMV ecosystem more interoperable and compatible. Cross-chain interoperability is one of the most important trends in crypto today. Different chains have different strengths, whether it’s decentralization or speed. This also means that they are best suited for specific use cases. The Ethereum ecosystem, in particular, benefits from a shared technological foundation. This allows Ethereum and its layer-2 networks to communicate seamlessly, enabling dApps and DeFi protocols to operate across multiple chains.

Crypto payments protocol AEON is partnering with Stellar to accelerate the adoption of crypto for payments across Southeast Asia. AEON’s strategic partnership with Stellar ( XLM ) allows for support for XLM and Stellar-native USDC ( USDC ) as accepted payments at retail stores across major cities in Southeast Asia. The collaboration will also expand the blockchain solution across Africa and Latin America, AEON said in a press release . XLM and USDC payments will be facilitated through AEON Pay, a web3-powered mobile solution that enables real-world purchases at major retailers. Currently, the service connects to more than 10,000 brands and 20 million QR-enabled stores across the Southeast Asian region. “By integrating support for Stellar assets, AEON is empowering businesses and consumers with new payment options that are both efficient and inclusive,” the platform noted. The integration of XLM and Stellar-USDC adds to the growing adoption of crypto and stablecoins in the payments space, with regulatory clarity playing a key role. This sees users keen to tap into instant and near-zero payments devoid of the shortcomings of traditional banking systems are increasingly looking at cross-border crypto solutions. Stellar’s blockchain, one of the leading platforms in the space, offers a payment-optimized protocol suitable for both microtransactions and high-volume transfers by financial institutions. According to AEON and Stellar, their partnership marks a major milestone for web3 commerce. The support for Stellar comes a few days after the AEON team integrated The Open Network, bringing Toncoin ( TON ) and TON-native Tether ( USDT ) to millions of users on Telegram. Meanwhile, the traction for Stellar across the industry has included major partnerships with leading players in decentralized finance and TradFi. These include Mastercard, Stripe, and Paxos. Stripe’s integration enabled XLM payouts, while Paxos tapped into Stellar’s network to expand access to its U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoin.

The former SEC chairman will serve as the interim U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, and the appointment was accused by Democrats of conspiracy According to what U.S. President Trump posted on Truth Social on Wednesday, New York Senator and Democratic Minority Leader Chuck Schumer blocked Jay Clayton's nomination, causing Clayton to currently serve in a temporary position, so the former chairman of the U.S. SEC will have to wait longer to officially become the federal prosecutor of the Southern District of New York (SDNY). Because the federal trial court of the Southern District of New York (SDNY) often hears major corporate criminal cases, the position of federal prosecutor has attracted much attention. "I am very optimistic about this technology," Clayton said in an interview with CNBC in 2021. Some cryptocurrency experts praised him as more open-minded than his successor Gary Gensler. However, Clayton lacks prosecutorial experience, and Schumer claimed that the only reason Trump nominated the former regulator to this important position was to advance the president's sinister conspiracy to ultimately pursue and prosecute his political opponents. Trump hit back on Truth Social, praising Clayton's qualifications and experience and accusing Schumer of engaging in partisan politics. (Bitcoin.com)

Here's a strategic trading outlook and plan for $WCT (WalletConnect Token) in 2025, based on current trends and technical positioning: 1. Strategic Views on $WCT in 2025 Fundamental Outlook: Use Case Strength: $WCT powers the WalletConnect protocol, which is a critical layer for connecting wallets and dApps in Web3. If DeFi and Web3 adoption grows, WCT utility could increase. Infrastructure Play: WalletConnect is deeply integrated across major platforms like MetaMask, Uniswap, Trust Wallet — giving WCT long-term credibility. Token Utility: Watch for actual utility of WCT (fees, governance, staking). If it stays a speculative asset only, price action will rely heavily on market sentiment. Sentiment in 2025: Moderate Bullish Bias: As of Q2 2025, market recovery from the 2024 downturn is underway. If Bitcoin continues gaining, altcoins like WCT could follow. Speculative Potential: WCT is not a meme coin, but it's also not a top 20 asset — so it rides waves of niche hype or ecosystem announcements. 2. Technical Trading Plans (2025) Short-Term (Swing Trading): Buy Zone: $0.30 – $0.36 (historical support zones) Target 1: $0.50 Target 2: $0.70 Stop Loss: Below $0.28 (invalidate bullish structure) Use RSI and MACD for confirmation. Only enter if volume is rising. Mid-Term (Position Trading): Accumulation Zone: Any consolidation between $0.30–$0.40 Hold Period: 2–6 months Upside Target: $0.90–$1.20 (if WalletConnect launches utility-based features) Long-Term Strategy (HODL or 2025–2027): Bull Case Target: $1.50+ Bear Case Risk: Drops below $0.20 if no dev updates or community growth 3. Risk Management Tips Portfolio Size: Limit WCT to 5–10% of your crypto bag unless you have high conviction. Stagger Buys: Use DCA (dollar-cost averaging) on dips rather than lump sum buys. Exit Smart: Set laddered take-profits at 2x, 3x, 5x levels. Use trailing stop-loss once profits hit. 4. Events to Watch in 2025 WalletConnect v3 protocol updates Major exchange listings (Binance, Coinbase, etc.) dApp integrations or DAO governance launches Bullish catalysts like partnerships in DeFi/Metaverse/AI sectors Want a custom trading plan based on your risk level or budget? Or should I pull up a recent WCT chart and mark trade zones?

Bitcoin appears to be carving its own path lately, moving independently from U.S. stocks. We saw that this week, as Bitcoin held firm and gained value during U.S. trading hours, while the broader stock market fell overall. This leads analysts to compare Bitcoin to gold, an asset hitting multiple record highs already in 2025. Market watchers now track closely if Bitcoin will follow gold’s recent path higher, as BTC holds near key support levels. The divergence was particularly clear April 16th. Bitcoin moved differently than major stock indexes, challenging its tech stock link. While the Nasdaq 100 fell over 3% , BlackRock’s Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) gained 0.46% during US market hours. That same day, ‘Magnificent Seven’ tech stocks finished lower. Yet MicroStrategy (MSTR), tied heavily to Bitcoin, gained 0.30%. During Fed Chair Powell’s speech , Bitcoin and Nasdaq dipped initially. But Bitcoin bounced back fast over $84k as stocks kept sliding lower. Bitcoin’s rebound followed Powell clearly stating the Fed wouldn’t support markets during selloffs. While that unnerved stock investors, Bitcoin seemed largely unfazed by the news. Related: Trump’s Tariff Gambit: Will “Liberation Day” for US Trigger Gold Surge & Bitcoin Rebound? Crypto trader Cryptollica noted Bitcoin’s recent action resembles gold’s, which hit 12 record highs already this year. Though Bitcoin is down 9.3% YTD, analysts point to similar chart patterns developing. Cryptollica thinks Bitcoin might be positioning for its own breakout, possibly following gold’s upward path.
