The cryptocurrency market experienced a notable upswing on April 23, 2026, as investor sentiment reached a three-month high. The Alternative.me Crypto Fear & Greed Index climbed 14 points to 46, marking its highest level since January 18, despite remaining in the "Fear" zone. This improvement follows a period of subdued sentiment due to a global tariff policy shift by the Trump administration. Bitcoin's price surged 5.9% to nearly $79,400, reflecting the positive sentiment shift. In a significant development, GSR launched its first exchange-traded fund, the GSR Crypto Core3 ETF (BESO), offering exposure to Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana. The ETF, which includes staking rewards and a dynamic allocation strategy, saw strong demand with 185,574 shares traded on its debut, closing at $26.04 and rising to $33 in after-hours trading. Additionally, Blockchain Capital is aiming to raise $700 million for new crypto investments, focusing on early-stage projects and established companies. Meanwhile, the Shariah-compliant PUSD stablecoin is expanding to the ADI Chain, enhancing its reach in the global Islamic finance market.
