Bitcoin trades in the $76,700–$77,500 range after spiking above $79,000 on April 27 amid Bitcoin 2026 Conference hype. The Las Vegas event drew over 40,000 attendees, exposing tensions between Wall Street institutions and early adopters, with panels focusing on portfolio integration and regulation. Despite backlash, ETFs recorded $1.2 billion inflows last week—$933 million into Bitcoin products—now holding over one million BTC and reshaping market dynamics.
