Luxury hospitality platform Dorsia is rolling out crypto payments for clients 
in the United States, the United Kingdom, Europe, and six Arab nations.
The payments feature is being enabled through a partnership with MoonPay, the 
companies told Cointelegraph. With the integration, users will be able to book 
luxury travel experiences and complete transactions directly in USDC (USDC) 
and Solana-based tokens through the Dorsia app.
&#8220;[…] integrating crypto payments is a natural next step in aligning with the 
evolving preferences of our members,&#8221; Marc Lotenberg, founder and CEO of 
Dorsia, said in an interview.
Dorsia is the latest luxury firm to turn to crypto services for high-net-worth 
individuals. The industry has been highly active in the Web3 space over the 
past few years, exploring crypto on-ramps and customer engagement features, 
such as non-fungible tokens and metaverses.
Luxury carmakers Lamborghini and Ferrari, and watchmakers like Patek Philippe, 
are a few companies accepting payments in cryptocurrencies.
Dorsia is a luxury hospitality app that connects its members with high-end 
hotels. Instead of traditional booking models, Dorsia uses dynamic pricing and 
a membership-based system for reservations at luxury hotels. According to 
Grand View Research, the luxury travel market is expected to reach $2.3 
trillion by 2030.

The company has raised a total of $50.4 million in funding across Seed and 
Series A rounds. Major backers include Index Ventures, RedSea, and individuals 
from Meta, Uber, Atomic, Groot Hospitality, and the Rockwell Group.

## MoonPay expands in 2024
Dorsia isn&#8217;t the first luxury brand to partner with MoonPay. According to the 
company&#8217;s CEO, Ivan Soto-Wright, it also offers a crypto on-ramp for clients 
like fashion house Gucci, carmaker Bugatti, and auction house Christie&#8217;s.
MoonPay&#8217;s net revenue increased 112% in 2024, while transaction volume in Q1 
2025 soared 123%, according to the company.
In January, MoonPay acquired the Solana-based payment processor Helio in a 
$175 million deal. The acquisition enabled a broader range of partnerships for 
payments, including with Dorsia, the company revealed. MoonPay has also 
recently acquired Iron to facilitate payments in stablecoins for merchants.

**Key points:**
 * Bitcoin&#8217;s rally is backed by solid institutional buying in the spot BTC ETFs.
 * A rally above the $95,000 level could be difficult, but analysts&#8217; end-of-year price projections now extend to $200,000.
 * Select altcoins are showing signs of a price bottom.
Bitcoin (BTC) price rallied close to the $95,000 resistance level on April 23 
as the cryptocurrency finds support from rising spot BTC ETF inflows and 
positive macroeconomic news in the United States. According to Farside 
Investors, the funds recorded net inflows of $381.3 million on April 21 and 
$912.7 million on April 22.
Analysts from Standard Chartered and Intellectia AI said that institutional 
demand for Bitcoin ETFs and BTC&#8217;s use as a hedge against macroeconomic risk 
could propel the price to $200,000 in 2025.

Not everyone is convinced about the current rally. 10x Research head of 
research Markus Thielen questioned the sustainability of the Bitcoin rally in 
an April 23 markets report, as the stablecoin minting indicator was &#8220;yet to 
return to high-activity levels.&#8221;
Could Bitcoin break above the $95,000 mark, pulling altcoins higher? Let&#8217;s 
analyze the charts of the top 10 cryptocurrencies to find out.
## Bitcoin price prediction
Bitcoin formed a Doji candlestick pattern on April 23, indicating indecision 
between the bulls and the bears near the $95,000 overhead resistance.
_BTC/USDT daily chart. Source: Cointelegraph/TradingView_
The 20-day exponential moving average ($85,773) has started to turn up, and 
the relative strength index (RSI) is near the overbought zone, suggesting that 
the path of least resistance is to the upside. If buyers do not cede much 
ground to the bears, it enhances the prospects of a rally above $95,000. The 
BTC/USDT pair may then skyrocket to $100,000 and subsequently to $107,000.
This positive view will be invalidated in the near term if the price turns 
down sharply from $95,000 and plunges below the moving averages.
## Ether price prediction
Ether (ETH) turned up sharply on April 22 and rose above the 20-day EMA 
($1,676). Buyers will try to retain the advantage by pushing the price above 
the 50-day SMA ($1,830) on April 23.

If they succeed, the ETH/USDT pair could jump to the breakdown level of 
$2,111. Sellers will try to stall the recovery at $2,111, but if the bulls 
prevail, the pair could soar to $2,550. Such a move suggests that the 
corrective phase may be over.
Conversely, if the price turns down sharply from $2,111, it indicates that the 
bears are active at higher levels. That could keep the pair range-bound 
between $2,111 and $1,368 for a while longer.
## XRP price prediction
XRP (XRP) rose above the 50-day SMA ($2.20), but the long wick on the 
candlestick shows selling at higher levels.
_XRP/USDT daily chart. Source: Cointelegraph/TradingView_
The bears are expected to defend the resistance line with all their might 
because a break and close above it signals a potential trend change. The 
XRP/USDT pair could then attempt a rally to $3.
On the contrary, if the price turns down and breaks below the moving averages, 
it signals that bears remain in command. The pair may then retest the $2 
support, which is likely to attract buyers.
## BNB price prediction
BNB (BNB) broke out of the downtrend line on April 21, but higher levels are 
attracting solid selling by the bears.
_BNB/USDT daily chart. Source: Cointelegraph/TradingView_
The BNB/USDT pair could drop to the moving averages, an important near-term 
support to watch out for. If the price rebounds off the moving averages with 
strength, the prospects of a rally to $644 and thereafter to $680 increase.
Alternatively, a break and close below the moving averages indicates that the 
breakout above the downtrend line may have been a bull trap. The pair then 
risks falling to $566.
## Solana price prediction
Solana (SOL) rebounded off the 20-day EMA ($133) on April 22 and is attempting 
to climb above the overhead resistance at $153 on April 23.
_SOL/USDT daily chart. Source: Cointelegraph/TradingView_
The 20-day EMA is sloping up, and the RSI is in the positive territory, 
indicating an advantage to buyers. A close above $153 clears the path for a 
rally to $180. Such a move brings the large $110 to $260 range into play.
Time is running out for the bears. If they want to make a comeback, they will 
have to swiftly pull the price below the moving averages. If they do that, the 
SOL/USDT pair could plunge to the $120 to $110 support zone.
## Dogecoin price prediction
Dogecoin (DOGE) broke above the moving averages on April 22, indicating that 
the bulls are on a comeback.
_DOGE/USDT daily chart. Source: Cointelegraph/TradingView_
The price could rally to the overhead resistance at $0.21, where the bears are 
expected to step in. If the price turns down from $0.21 and breaks below the 
moving averages, it signals a range-bound action in the near term. The 
DOGE/USDT pair could swing between $0.21 and $0.14 for some time.
Contrarily, a break and close above $0.21 completes a double-bottom pattern. 
The pair could then rally toward its target objective of $0.28.
## Cardano price prediction
Buyers pushed Cardano (ADA) above the 20-day EMA ($0.64) on April 22 and are 
trying to sustain the price above the 50-day SMA ($0.68) on April 23.
_ADA/USDT daily chart. Source: Cointelegraph/TradingView_
The 20-day EMA is flattish, but the RSI has jumped into positive territory, 
indicating that the momentum has turned positive. A close above the 50-day SMA 
opens the gates for a rally to $0.83.
Buyers are expected to defend the zone between the 20-day EMA and $0.58 on the 
downside. Sellers will be back in the driver&#8217;s seat if they sink the ADA/USDT 
pair below $0.58. The pair may then slump to $0.50.

## Chainlink price prediction
Chainlink (LINK) turned up from the 20-day EMA ($13.16) and rose above the 
50-day SMA ($13.62) on April 22.
_LINK/USDT daily chart. Source: Cointelegraph/TradingView_
The LINK/USDT pair could rise to $16, where the bears may mount a strong 
defense. If buyers do not allow the price to dip back below the 20-day EMA, it 
improves the prospects of a rally to the resistance line of the descending 
channel pattern. A trend change will be signaled on a break above the channel.
The 20-day EMA is the crucial support to watch out for on the downside. A dive 
below the 20-day EMA opens the doors for a fall to $11.89 and later to the 
support line.
## Avalanche price prediction
Avalanche (AVAX) broke out of the downtrend line on April 22, indicating that 
the bears are losing their grip.
_AVAX/USDT daily chart. Source: Cointelegraph/TradingView_
The bears will try to halt the recovery at $23.50 because if they fail in 
their endeavor, the AVAX/USDT pair will complete a double-bottom pattern. This 
bullish setup has a target objective of $31.73.
If the price turns down from $23.50, the bulls will try to buy the dips to the 
20-day EMA ($19.72). A bounce off the 20-day EMA increases the likelihood of a 
break above $23.50. Contrarily, a break below the moving averages signals a 
range formation between $15.27 and $23.50.
## Sui price prediction
Sui (SUI) soared above the moving averages on April 22 and the overhead 
resistance at $2.86 on April 23.
_SUI/USDT daily chart. Source: Cointelegraph/TradingView_
The long wick on the candlestick shows selling above $2.86, but if the bulls 
do not give up much ground, the possibility of a break above the overhead 
resistance increases. That could propel the SUI/USDT pair to $3.25 and then to 
$3.50.
The 20-day EMA ($2.29) is expected to act as strong support on any pullback. A 
break and close below the 20-day EMA suggests the bullish momentum has 
weakened. That could result in a range formation in the near term.
