United States Senator Jon Ossoff expressed support for impeaching President Donald Trump during an April 25 town hall, citing the President’s plan to host a private dinner for top Official Trump memecoin holders. “I mean, I saw just 48 hours ago, he is granting audiences to people who buy his meme coin,” said Ossoff, a Democrat, according to a report by NBC News. “When the sitting president of the United States is selling access for what are effectively payments directly to him. There is no question that that rises to the level of an impeachable offense.”Senator Ossoff said he “strongly” supports impeachment proceedings during a town hall in the state of Georgia, where he is running for reelection to the Senate.The Senator added that an impeachment is unlikely unless the Democratic Party gains control of Congress during the US midterm elections in 2026. Trump’s own Republican Party currently has a majority in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. TRUMP holders can register to dine with the US President.

Record-breaking turnout characterised Cardano’s latest governance vote, with almost all tokens on the network contributing to the decision-making process. Per numbers, Input Output Global (IOG) CTO Romain Pellerin presented, 99.5% of the 4.657 billion ADA in delegated stake was employed in casting votes through the Delegated Representatives system on the network. Related Reading: Ethereum To Hit $5k Before Its 10th Birthday, Justin Sun Says Vote Results Indicate High Support For Proposal The breakdown of voting showed decisive community sentiments. Among all votes cast, 76% or 3.57 billion ADA were for the suggested measure. Opposing it were 918 million votes, while 169 million were no-confidence votes. A minuscule percentage—only 0.5% of the stake delegated—chose not to cast their vote. This voting session is a milestone in what Cardano refers to as its “Voltaire governance era,” named after the French Enlightenment author and philosopher. #Cardano decentralized governance in action: 99.5% participation of ADA 4.657B delegated stake🖖 https://t.co/yCpHQ7zCKe — Romain Pellerin (@rom1_pellerin) April 25, 2025 How Cardano’s Liquid Democracy Model Works According to reports from network developers, Cardano has adopted a “liquid democracy” governance model that provides ADA holders with flexibility in their engagement. In this model, token holders can delegate their governance authority to Delegated Representatives (DReps) while retaining full control of their funds. The voting power of such representatives is proportionate to the amount of ADA they are assigned. ADA holders are not tied down to their decisions either—they can sell voting rights whenever they want, thus maintaining continuous control over who acts on their behalf. DReps vote on all kinds of network-wide proposals, ranging from technical hard forks to treasury fund allocation decisions. Recent Hard Fork Enabled Full Governance Features The governance functionality exhibited in this ballot came into full effect after the Plomin hard fork finished in January 2025. This network update enabled core functionality of Cardano’s governance system, such as treasury withdrawals, and made DReps’ role official in the ecosystem. BREAKING: Cardano has recorded a staggering 99.5% voter turnout in its latest governance vote.

They were able to vote directly on proposals, delegate their voting power to a DRep of their choice, abstain entirely, or cast a formal vote of no confidence. One such design consideration highlighted by developers included the aspect of preserving unchanged staking rewards for ADA holders that did not engage in governance activities. This practice reflects pre-hard fork operations, enabling smooth transition to the new governance system. The large turnout for this initial significant vote indicates that the community has accepted Cardano’s governance model, which combines representative voting with freedom of action for individual token holders. At the time of writing, ADA was trading at $0.72, up 15% in the last seven days, data from Coingecko shows. Featured image from MoneyCheck, chart from TradingView

Opinion by: Raullen Chai, co-founder and CEO of IoTeXThe United States and other superpowers are on the brink of a financial evolution. With President Donald Trump’s recent executive order establishing a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR) and a US Digital Asset Stockpile (DAS), the conversation around digital assets in government reserves is gaining momentum. Countries like Czechia have also followed suit with their sovereign digital asset reserve plans. While Bitcoin (BTC) and select altcoins are being considered, the discussion remains incomplete without including decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) tokens.DePIN represents a new paradigm in infrastructure development, where communities, not corporations, build and operate essential networks like telecommunications that self-govern and distribute rewards to their individual contributors. If it were to include DePIN tokens in its DAS, the US could use blockchain technology to create a self-sustaining infrastructure economy that strengthens technological leadership. This would also encourage DePIN projects to build and scale physical infrastructure (such as WiFi, environmental monitoring and transportation) for US citizens by sharing bandwidth from their everyday devices. This eliminates the need for companies and governments to incur heavy capital expenditures. Moreover, if proven successful in the US, it would set an example for other countries to set up their own sovereign crypto reserves for the benefit of their own citizens. A supranational network of DePIN token reserves would also potentially unite different types of infrastructure and grids in other countries, reducing the cost and friction between them. A new asset class for sovereign investmentDePIN changes the way infrastructure is built. Instead of relying on governments or private companies to maintain critical infrastructure, DePIN uses blockchain and token incentives to enable community-driven bandwidth sharing. DePIN networks, like those powering WiFi or movement sensors, prove that this model can be more efficient and cost-effective than traditional approaches.For the US government, investing in DePIN tokens through its DAS would serve multiple strategic objectives. Regarding economic resilience, DePIN networks create a self-sustaining gig around infrastructure, reducing the country’s reliance on large corporations and enabling communities to earn revenue by contributing to infrastructure needs. Traditional infrastructure is prone to geopolitical risks and monopolistic inefficiencies. Meanwhile, DePIN offers a decentralized alternative that is censorship-resistant. The US has long been at the forefront of technological revolutions. Including DePIN in its sovereign investment strategy would reinforce its position as a leader in Web3 and blockchain. Many DePIN projects optimize resource utilization using token incentives to align infrastructure deployment with demand. This approach enables more sustainable, scalable solutions for Internet-of-Things sectors. While Bitcoin is a simple store of value, DePIN tokens represent ownership and operational stakes in decentralized infrastructure and possess tangible value just as equities or bonds.If countries were to include DePIN tokens in their digital asset reserves, they could use blockchain technology to create self-sustaining, interconnected infrastructure economies. Imagine being able to distribute electricity between two countries when there is an excess demand in one and an oversupply in another. Distributed ledgers’ decentralized and cross-border nature can allow such mechanisms to happen. A true strategic hedge Historically, sovereign wealth funds have been used to preserve national wealth by diversifying investments. These models are, however, increasingly vulnerable to inflationary pressures. The US inflation rate averaged 8.0% in 2022, and the price of all assets, whether stocks or Bitcoin, sold off heavily during the year in an overall market rout. No one was immune. Recent: DePIN needs thoughtful regulation — not lawsuitsOn the other hand, DePIN offers a true hedge against these risks because the prices of core infrastructure services are, by definition, part of the Consumer Price Index (CPI), enabling users holding DePIN assets to directly profit from inflation increases or at least preserve their asset value. DePIN networks also use token incentives to align infrastructure deployment with economic shifts. This is particularly relevant given that global electricity prices surged by over 20% in 2022 due to supply chain disruptions and geopolitical tensions. In response to increased energy costs, decentralized energy grids operating on blockchain-based token economies could dynamically adjust rewards for energy producers. Coupled with the rise in underlying CPI prices, DePIN networks have the potential to deliver compounded returns (rise in CPI + additional token issuance) in opposition to such market sell-offs. Including DePIN tokens in a sovereign wealth portfolio exposes the US to next-generation economic models. DePIN networks are built on transparent principles that align incentives between users, infrastructure providers and investors. All nations that have historically led technological revolutions should seize the opportunity to embrace DePIN, reinforcing their status as pioneers. The future is decentralizedIntegrating DePIN tokens into the US DAS or any other sovereign digital asset stockpile would not simply be a financial decision — it is a strategic imperative. With the world shifting toward decentralized economies, the US and other tech powerhouses must position themselves at the forefront of this transformation. Countries that recognize and embrace this shift today will be best positioned to lead in the next era of global innovation. After all, infrastructure research has been stunted by decades of either monopoly or large-scale government ownership. If millions of individuals and communities became directly involved in their daily infrastructure through DePIN, it would increase the likelihood of infrastructure innovation due to the sheer volume of crowd involvement and offset research and development expenses from the government for the money to be allocated elsewhere. Decentralization is a win-win for all. Investing in DePIN will also ensure that national infrastructure remains affordable and not subject to national-level deployments requiring massive tax hikes to fund, enabling a future where physical infrastructure assets are affordably maintained. Specifically, if US policymakers act now, they can secure America’s leadership in the next great infrastructure revolution that prioritizes decentralized ownership. Opinion by: Raullen Chai, co-founder and CEO of IoTeX.

Crypto investor sentiment has seen a significant recovery from global tariff concerns, but analysts warn that the market’s structural weaknesses may still result in downside momentum during periods of weekend illiquidity.Risk appetite appeared to return among crypto investors this week after US President Donald Trump adopted a softer tone, saying that import tariffs on Chinese goods may “come down substantially.”However, the improved investor sentiment “does not guarantee that Bitcoin will avoid volatility over the weekend,” analysts from Bitfinex exchange told Cointelegraph:“Sentiment improvements reduce fragility, but they do not eliminate structural risks like thin weekend liquidity.” “Historically, weekends remain vulnerable to sharp moves — especially when open interest is high and market depth is low,” the analysts said, adding that unexpected macroeconomic news can still increase volatility during low liquidity periods.Related: Trump fought the bond market, the bond market won: Saifedean AmmousBitcoin (BTC) staged a near 11% recovery during the past week, but its rally has previously been limited by Sunday liquidity dynamics.BTC/USD, 1-year chart.

It could have legs, as markets now seem to believe there’s a ‘Trump put’ under equities, the US dollar and US Treasurys,” Barthere added, warning of more potential volatility amid the upcoming negotiations.Nansen previously predicted a 70% chance that crypto markets will bottom and start a recovery by June, but highlighted that the timing will depend on the outcome of tariff negotiations.The tariff negotiations may only be “posturing” for the US to reach a trade agreement with China, which may be the “big prize” for Trump’s administration, according to Raoul Pal, founder and CEO of Global Macro Investor.Magazine: Bitcoin’s odds of June highs, SOL’s $485M outflows, and more: Hodler’s Digest, March 2 – 8

AI crypto coins are on the rise again, with the sector’s total market cap increasing by more than 33% in just the last two weeks. Coins like $TAI have jumped by a massive 234% in the last seven days. Other coins like $TAOBOT, $ZEREBRO, and $TURBO have also shown a remarkable growth of around 150% each. It’s worth noting that the sector’s combined market cap reached a lifetime high of $70.42B in January, following which came a sharp slump. This was the absolute worst the sector had seen, with its market cap plummeting to around $21B on April 9. However, two weeks later, the market’s no more gloomy. Bitcoin has picked up pace, and so has the crypto AI niche. Its market cap has jumped back to $28.8B at the time of writing. In this article, we’ll not only dissect the latest surge in the AI crypto market but also point you towards the best altcoins you can buy now to benefit from this rally. Investor’s Increasing Interest in AI Tokens It’s not just that the prices of AI tokens have increased. According to a new CoinGecko report, there’s increasing investor interest in the category as well. Out of the top 20 crypto narratives of the first quarter of 2025, 5 were AI-related, accounting for 35.7% of total investor interest. Plus, more than 62.8% of investors’ interest accounted for AI and meme coins combined. Another study done by CoinGecko shows that 48.7% of people think that AI will be more profitable than humans in crypto trading, while 46.6% are willing to trust AI for crypto investing. A few more mind-boggling numbers we found in CoinGecko’s research paper: At least 34% of the participants are willing to trust AI agents with their crypto portfolio. On the other hand, 37.5% said that agents cannot be trusted as of now. 27.9% of the people were neutral. A whopping 87.1% of the participants were willing to let an AI agent manage at least 10% of their crypto portfolio. Finally, more than 50% of people were willing to let an AI agent manage at least half of their crypto portfolios. This shows a change in perspective among both long- and short-term crypto participants. They’re now more confident and comfortable integrating AI into their crypto investment research process. Needless to say, this also means that now’s the best time to invest in AI tokens. As is evident from the tokens mentioned above, the potential for profit is simply insane. Herein lies an unmissable opportunity for utility-based AI coins like the ones mentioned in this guide. 1.

Also, just because the segment is firing, there’s no guaranteeing the performance of specific tokens. Kindly do your own research before investing. Remember, our articles are not financial advice.

Bitcoin has been on the rise again with positive sentiment returning after Donald Trump revealed plans to reduce tariffs on China. This suggests that an end to the tariff wars which began in January 2025 could be drawing to an end. Taking this as a sign, Bitcoin whales have begun to make moves once again. So far, they have bought almost 20,000 BTC, with BTC exchange outflows rising to levels not seen in over two years. Bitcoin Exchange Outflows Reach February 2023 Levels According to the on-chain data tracking platform CryptoQuant, more BTC has been flowing out of exchanges at levels that have not been seen in two years. This data was taken on a 100-day moving average basis and shows netflows are down significantly from not only 2025 and 2024, but dating as far back as 2023. Related Reading: Is The XRP Price Rally Over At $2.22? New Developments Suggest Major Pump Is Coming CryptoQuant’s data shows that Bitcoin net flows from all exchanges have crashed by more than 50% in the last year. Currently, it is sitting so low that the last time it was this low was back in January 2023, when the crypto market was just coming out of the impact of the FTX crypto exchange collapse. When net flows are this low, it suggests that Bitcoin investors are choosing to accumulate rather than sell. It points to withdrawals from exchanges into private storage, with investors holding onto their BTC in anticipation of higher prices before they begin to sell. “This essentially indicates the highest Bitcoin outflow from exchanges since that date,” CryptoQuant explained in the post. “A review of historical patterns suggests that this could imply re-accumulation of assets by investors.” BTC Whales Are Turning Bullish Again The recent Bitcoin price rise seems to be driven by bulls who had taken the reduced price to accumulate large amounts of BTC in a very short time. Santiment reported on this development, showing how the 11% Bitcoin price rise could have been driven by the buying activities of these large investors. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Recovery At Stake If This Level Doesn’t Hold, Crash Could Erase Gains The post shows that investors holding between 10 and 10,000 BTC had gone on a buying spree in the last week. In total, they added 19,255 more BTC to their balances in only seven days. This shows that whales had realized how undervalued the BTC price was and had seized the opportunity to secure profits quickly. At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price was trending around $94,578, showing strong staying power from the bulls. Featured image from Dall.E, chart from TradingView.com

Lummis also highlighted the Fed’s policy statement in Section 9(13), which hasn’t been withdrawn, stating that Bitcoin and digital assets are considered “unsafe and unsound.”SEC chair suggests “huge benefits” in agency’s third crypto roundtableIn one of his first appearances as the recently sworn-in chair of the US Securities and Exchange Commission, Paul Atkins delivered remarks to the agency’s third roundtable discussion of crypto regulation. In the “Know Your Custodian” roundtable event on April 25, Atkins said he expected “huge benefits” from blockchain technology through efficiency, risk mitigation, transparency, and cutting costs. He reiterated that among his goals at the SEC would be to facilitate “clear regulatory rules of the road” for digital assets, hinting that the agency under former chair Gary Gensler had contributed to market and regulatory uncertainty. “I look forward to engaging with market participants and working with colleagues in President Trump’s administration and Congress to establish a rational fit-for-purpose framework for crypto assets,” said Atkins.SEC chair Paul Atkins addressing the April 25 crypto roundtable.

On-chain data shows the Ethereum whales have sold the asset recently, while key holders on the Bitcoin network have accumulated instead. Ethereum Whales Have Sold Into The Latest Rally As explained by analyst Ali Martinez in a new post on X, the Ethereum whales have participated in selling recently. The “whales” here refer to the ETH entities holding between 1,000 and 10,000 ETH. At the current exchange rate, this range converts to $1.8 million to $18 million. While these bounds don’t cover the largest of holders in the sector, they do still contain some of the key investors. Related Reading: Bitcoin Holders Realizing $139 Million In Profit Per Hour This Rally, Report Says Here is the chart shared by the analyst that shows the trend in the combined balance of these Ethereum whales over the over the past ten days or so: As displayed in the above graph, the Ethereum whales have seen their supply go through a net decline recently. During this selloff, these investors offloaded more than 63,000 ETH (about $113.5 million) inside a 48-hour window. From the chart, it’s visible that the distribution from this cohort has coincided with ETH’s recovery rally. This could indicate that these large investors have been capitalizing on the profit-taking opportunity. While the key investors of ETH may have taken profits, the same isn’t true for that of BTC. As the on-chain analytics firm Santiment has discussed in an X post, the trend has been that of accumulation for BTC recently. In the chart, the analytics firm has attached the data related to the supply of the Bitcoin holders carrying between 10 ($946,000) and 10,000 BTC ($946 million). This range is broader than the one for ETH and includes two key investor cohorts: sharks and whales. These investors have collectively added a total of 19,255 BTC to their wallets alongside the price rally. Thus, it would appear that the key holders of the cryptocurrency are supportive of the recovery run. Related Reading: Litecoin Conviction Remains Strong: More Than 20% Of Supply Frozen Since 5+ Years Naturally, this could imply the Bitcoin rally may have more chances of being sustainable than the Ethereum one. That said, things can change quickly in the digital asset sector, so the trend related to the large entities of both might be worth keeping an eye on. Speaking of accumulation, BTC is currently witnessing high inflows into the spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs), as Santiment has pointed out in another X post. From the chart, it’s visible that the recent ETF inflows are the largest in months. As the analytics firm notes, As Bitcoin has recovered as high as $95.8K today, we are seeing the highest week of net inflows to BTC ETF’s since the week before Trump’s inauguration in mid-January. Institutions like Blackrock have played a large part in the crypto-wide bounce traders were waiting for.

World Liberty Financial (WLFI), the crypto firm associated with the family of US President Donald Trump, made waves when it debuted late last year.WLFI caused a stir when it launched ahead of the president’s inauguration. Observers have accused the project of front-running important crypto-related events, like the White House Crypto summit, and presenting a conflict of interest.Trump is in a unique position to influence outcomes that would affect his portfolio, but WLFI is not insulated from the broader market trends, which have seen crypto and stock prices drop amid significant macroeconomic concerns. The Trump administration will soon mark 100 days in office. Here’s what WLFI has been up to, and how the president’s crypto investments are shaking out.The “gold paper” for WLFI features flattering Trump imagery. Source: WLFIFounding and ownership of Trump’s crypto investment WLFI projectWLFI launched on Sept. 16, with then-President-elect Donald Trump announcing the move on X. Founded under the guidance of real estate magnate Steve Witkoff and his son Zach, the co-founders also include Chase Herro, a crypto investor and self-described “dirtbag of the internet,” and Zak Folkman, a social media influencer and former pickup artist. The Trump family also features prominently. President Trump is listed as “chief crypto advocate,” while his sons Eric, Donald Jr. and Barron are “Web3 ambassadors.” The leadership team at WLFI. Source: WLFIWLFI token salesOne of World Liberty Financial’s first moves was to sell its own token. The first token sale opened on Oct. 15, 2024, earning the company about $300 million by selling 20 billion WLFI $WLFI for $0.015 each.  On Jan. 20, 2025, the day Trump was inaugurated, WLFI announced a second token sale, citing “massive demand and overwhelming interest.” The firm offered 5 billion tokens at $0.05 each, representing a price increase of 230% from the first sale. The second sale was completed nearly two months later on March 14, having met its full target of $250 million.According to the project’s “gold paper,” the WLFI tokens will confer voter rights to holders on important matters affecting the protocol, such as upgrades. The anticipated token distribution is:35% through token sales,32.5% for incentives and community growth,30% for “initial supporter” allocation,and 2.5% for “core team and advisers.”All told, WLFI walked away with $550 million in token sales. $WLFI was only available to accredited investors and cannot be transferred or traded on exchanges per the terms and conditions. There is yet to be an announced listing date for the token. WLFI’s portfolioToken sales aside, the WLFI has been acting as a type of crypto fund, accumulating a number of different tokens over the past several months. Here’s a breakdown:WLFI portfolio contains a number of different assets, with 13 making up the lion’s share at time of writing. Most of its holdings are in dollar-backed stablecoin USDC, followed by Wrapped Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH). The top 13 assets make up nearly $100 million of the firm’s $103 million portfolio, according to Arkham. Dozens of other small coins, some with a total dollar value of less than $100,000, make up the remaining value. WLFI’s $5 million worth of Aave Ethereum USDC (aethUSDC), means they supply USDC to a pool on Aave. WLFI’s portfolio contains eight cryptocurrencies that are non-stablecoin assets it purchased (versus received via airdrop). Wrapped BTC (WBTC)Mantle (MNT)Movement (MOVE)Sei (SEI)Avalanche (AVAX)Tron (TRX)Ondo (ONDO)Ether (ETH) Overall, WLFI’s holdings in WBTC, SEI and AVAX have been performing most successfully.  The first WBTC purchase happened on Dec. 18, when WLFI exchanged 103 WBTC for 103 cbBTC. Nearly one month later, WLFI traded everything for ETH. The fund started accumulating WBTC again, mostly using USDT, and sent it to Coinbase Prime in early February.WLFI’s AVAX position was completed in one purchase on March 15, while it bought nearly $6 million worth of SEI over three separate purchases in February, March and April.Other positions haven’t been faring nearly as well. Major investments in MNT, MOVE, ONDO and ETH are all seeing losses in the double digits as of April 24. MOVE is taking a beating, with WLFI’s total investment value down over 50%, losing some $2,100,000 on the investment.Taking into account the average price of WLFI’s token purchases, along with its assets’ current prices, the fund is seeing a loss, on average, of $4,280,000.Notably, WLFI has also deposited several early purchases of tokens in December and January into Coinbase Prime. WLFI wallets slowly acquired ETH long before the main action started. WLFI began acquiring large sums worth over $1 million in late November and continued doing so every few days until Dec. 21. Then, it moved all acquired ETH (including 3,700 ETH deposited in October) to Coinbase Prime on Jan. 14.Between Jan. 19 and Jan. 21, it bought nearly 57,000 ETH and continued acquiring it until Feb. 3, when it moved most of the ETH to Coinbase Prime. Coincidentally, Eric Trump was shilling Ether on X at the same time.Source: Eric Trump Conflicts of interest and stablecoinsThe curious timing of WLFI moving the tokens to a crypto exchange and Eric Trump’s post raises the question of the Trump family’s ability to influence the tokens they hold. In late March, a group of Senators from that body’s banking committee wrote an open letter, pressing regulatory agencies to consider the potential conflicts of interest in WLFI, particularly with the project’s stablecoin, USD1. Related: US House committee passes stablecoin-regulating STABLE ActUSD1 launched in early March, and at publishing time is trading on centralized exchanges Kinesis Money and ChangeNOW, according to CoinMarketCap. The Senators were concerned that Trump stands in a unique position to influence and offer boons to his own stablecoin project, particularly with the forthcoming stablecoin framework bill under consideration in Congress. When markets slumped following Trump’s tariff announcement on “Liberation Day,” the president posted on the right-wing social media platform Truth Social, “THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!” further igniting concerns about insider trading and market manipulation. Despite these concerns, the Trump administration’s ties to crypto are only strengthening. His administration has dropped several high-level enforcement cases against crypto firms, and his allies in Congress are writing favorable legislation for the industry. And crypto firms seem to believe in the project. On April 16, crypto market maker DWF Labs announced a $25 million investment in WLFI and agreed to provide liquidity for USD1. Magazine: Financial nihilism in crypto is over — It’s time to dream big again

Ethereum (ETH) experienced a significant recovery over the past week after jumping over 10% to the $1,800 resistance. The cryptocurrency’s momentum has seen it reclaim key levels, which could ignite a 28% rally continuation in the following weeks. Related Reading: SUI Eyes $4 Amid 56% Weekly Surge – Here Are The Levels To Watch Ethereum Reclaims First Horizontal Level In Months Over the past week, Ethereum’s price has jumped around 14% to retest crucial support levels. Amid the market recovery, the cryptocurrency reclaimed the $1,600-$1,650 zone at the start of the week, holding a historical demand area as support. According to analyst Rekt Capital, ETH is holding the bottom of its historical demand zone, between $1,650 and $1,950, after its recent performance, “repeating history also by wicking briefly below it.” Since losing its $2,196-$39,00 Macro Range, the cryptocurrency has traded within this range, upside wicking to the region’s top and turning it into resistance, and downside wicking below the bottom to turn it into support, like in 2023. According to the analyst, “Ethereum needs to keep holding here. If this price stability here can be sustained… There is a chance” to repeat its mid-2023 performance, where the token bounced from this region and hit its early 2024 high of $4,093. Meanwhile, Daan Crypto Trades noted that ETH has flipped a horizontal level back into support. The analyst pointed out that since closing above the $1,750 mark for the past three days, the King of Altcoins has shown a “change in market dynamics.” Notably, Ethereum has not been able to reclaim previous horizontal levels for months, getting rejected and making new lows instead. Daan asserted that the $1,750-$2,100 price range is crucial to continue ETH’s bullish momentum. ETH On The Verge Of Breaking Out Amid this performance, ETH is nearing a breakout from its multi-month downtrend. The cryptocurrency has been in a downtrend since hitting its cycle high of $4,107 in early December, retracing over 56% since then. However, Ethereum is attempting to break from the descending resistance again amid its retest of the $1,800 barrier. Analyst Crypto Caesar affirmed that ETH “is on the verge of breaking out. We really just need that higher high…” Analyst Ted Pillows considers that a 28% jump by next month could be possible if the cryptocurrency reclaims this crucial short-term resistance. He pointed out that the $1,800-$1,850 zone is the next level to break before the $2,000 barrier, noting an inverse head and shoulders pattern on ETH’s chart. Related Reading: ‘All Bets Off’ If Bitcoin Reclaims This Level, But Analysts Warn Of Potential Rejection “If ETH manages to break above it, it could rally towards $2.2K-$2.3K in May,” he concluded. Another analyst previously suggested that Ethereum won’t start a new rally until it reclaims the $2,330 barrier, where over 60 million addresses have purchased the cryptocurrency. As of this writing, Ethereum trades at $1,795, a 2.1% increase in the daily timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com

What are reciprocal tariffs? Reciprocal tariffs might sound like textbook trade jargon, but the idea is pretty straightforward: If one country slaps tariffs on your goods, you hit back with the same. Think of it as a tit-for-tat strategy in global trade — a way for governments to say, “If you’re charging our exporters 20%, we’re doing the same to yours.”The roots of this concept go back to the 1930s, when the US passed the Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act. The goal back then was to break down trade barriers through mutual deals, not trade wars. But fast forward to today, and the term is making a comeback — this time with a bit more edge.For example, in early 2025, in an effort to address what it perceived as unfair trade practices and a significant trade deficit, the US government, under President Donald Trump, imposed a series of escalating tariffs on Chinese imports. These tariffs began with a 10% baseline and, through successive increases, reached a staggering 145% on a wide range of Chinese goods.China responded in kind, implementing its own set of reciprocal tariffs. Initially, Beijing imposed a 34% tariff on all US imports, which was later increased to 84% and eventually to 125%, targeting various American products, including agricultural goods and machinery.So, what does this have to do with crypto? You’ll get there — but first, let’s dig into how these tariffs actually work. How do reciprocal tariffs work? While the US has recently adopted a formula based on trade imbalances to determine its tariff rates, other countries, like China, often respond with their own set of tariffs, which may not follow the same calculation method.How the US calculates its tariffsIn 2025, the US implemented a tariff strategy that calculates rates based on the trade deficit with a particular country. The formula used is:Tariff rate (%) = (US trade deficit with country / US imports from country) × 100 / 2Example:US imports from China: $438.9 billionUS exports to China: $147 billionTrade deficit: $291.9 billionDeficit ratio: ($291.9 billion ÷ $438.9 billion) × 100 ≈ 66.5%Tariff rate: 66.5% ÷ 2 ≈ 33.25%This approach led to the US imposing a 34% tariff on Chinese imports in April 2025. Also, these new tariffs don’t replace old ones — they’re added on top. So, if a product already had a 20% tariff and now gets hit with a 34% reciprocal tariff, importers are suddenly paying 54%. That kind of jump can make foreign goods a lot more expensive, fast.How China respondsWhen the US imposes tariffs, China often retaliates by targeting sectors that are politically and economically significant to the United States, particularly those that could influence key voter bases.Targeted sectors:Agriculture: China has frequently targeted US agricultural products, such as soybeans, pork and beef. For instance, in 2018, China imposed a 25% tariff on US soybeans, significantly impacting farmers in states like Iowa, where soybean farming is a major industry.Aerospace: In 2025, China suspended imports of Boeing aircraft and halted purchases of aircraft parts from US companies, affecting the US aerospace sector.Phased implementationChina often implements tariffs in phases, allowing for strategic adjustments and negotiations:In early 2025, following US tariff increases, China initially imposed a 34% tariff on all US goods. This was later increased to 84% and eventually to 125% in response to escalating US tariffs.China also imposed additional tariffs of 10%-15% on various US agricultural products, including corn, soybeans and wheat, as part of its retaliatory measures.While the US uses a specific formula to calculate its tariffs, China’s approach is more about strategic retaliation, aiming to create economic and political pressure rather than directly matching tariff rates.Did you know? Policymakers sometimes choose a slightly higher number to send a stronger political message — especially if they want to appear tough on trade or take a hard line against a specific country. A flat “34%” sounds more decisive and deliberate than “33.25%.” Economic implications of reciprocal tariffs Reciprocal tariffs ripple through the global economy in very real ways. When the US and China start trading blows with import taxes, everyone else feels the aftershocks, too.Global trade slows downIn early 2025, the World Trade Organization had some stark news: Global trade, which was supposed to grow by around 3%, is now barely moving at all — closer to 0.2%. The WTO pointed directly to the US’s aggressive tariff strategy and the domino effect it’s having on other economies. As countries respond with their own barriers, goods just… stop moving. Fewer exports, fewer imports and a whole lot of uncertainty.Developing countries get squeezedSmaller economies — like Cambodia, Laos and others that rely on exporting cheap goods to big markets like the US — are getting hit especially hard. When tariffs go up, American buyers pull back. That means fewer factory orders, lost jobs and shrinking income in places that can’t easily absorb the shock.Prices go up at homeMeanwhile, consumers in the US are starting to notice the pinch, too. Tariffs on Chinese goods have made everything from electronics to basic household items more expensive. Even American companies that depend on imported parts are paying more — and passing those costs down the line. Inflation is already high, and this just adds fuel to the fire.Did you know? The International Monetary Fund projected that the trade war could reduce global GDP growth from 3.3% in 2024 to 2.8% in 2025. Reciprocal tariffs’ impact on crypto When governments start slapping tariffs on each other, it sends a signal that things are unstable — and financial markets hate uncertainty. Stocks, bonds and, yes, crypto all react when global trade flows get disrupted.Market volatilityWhen the US announced a 50% tariff on Chinese imports in early April 2025, the crypto markets reacted swiftly. Bitcoin’s (BTC) price dropped to $74,500, and Ether (ETH) saw a decline of over 20%. This sharp downturn highlighted how sensitive cryptocurrencies are to macroeconomic shifts and investor sentiment.However, the situation began to stabilize after President Trump paused most tariffs for 90 days. By April 22, Bitcoin had rebounded above $92,000, reflecting the crypto market’s responsiveness to policy changes.Mining operationsUS Bitcoin miners are facing increased operational costs due to tariffs on imported mining equipment. With tariffs as high as 36% on essential hardware from countries such as China and Taiwan, miners are now grappling with higher capital expenditures.This is especially hard on smaller operations. Larger firms might be able to absorb the extra costs or renegotiate supplier deals — but smaller or mid-sized miners? They’re the ones getting squeezed. As margins shrink, some may be forced to shut down or relocate to tariff-free jurisdictions.Did you know? US Bitcoin miners faced a 22%-36% increase in equipment costs in early 2025 due to tariffs on Chinese-made mining hardware, leading some to consider relocating operations overseas.Investment trendsEconomic uncertainty often drives investors to look for safe havens — and crypto, increasingly, fits that bill. When traditional markets become volatile due to things like global tariff escalations, many investors turn to Bitcoin and other digital assets as a hedge against inflation, currency devaluation or geopolitical risk.There’s also been a noticeable uptick in institutional interest. With governments engaging in trade battles and inflating the costs of doing business across borders, crypto is starting to look like a more stable long-term play. In Q1 2025, for example, a number of hedge funds and sovereign wealth vehicles began allocating to digital assets in response to these global macro pressures.The establishment of a US strategic crypto reserve — reportedly holding both BTC and ETH — is a clear signal that crypto is no longer a fringe asset in the eyes of traditional finance or policymakers. Strategic considerations for crypto stakeholders For anyone in crypto — whether you’re building the infrastructure, mining the coins or managing investor portfolios — these policy shifts are very real and very relevant.Diversify If you’re a miner or a hardware-dependent startup relying on one supplier or country for equipment? That’s a liability. Tariffs can spike overnight, slashing your margins and forcing expensive workarounds.Diversifying your supply chain — whether through sourcing from neutral countries or investing in domestic alternatives — can soften the blow. Understand the regulatory landscapeCrypto companies can’t afford to be blind to policy anymore. Tariffs, trade barriers, sanctions — these are market-moving forces. If you deal with mining, cross-border payments or even just hardware shipments, you need to stay plugged into both local and international trade developments.This is where having legal and trade experts on your side becomes less of a luxury and more of a survival tool.Rethink the narrativeThere’s a unique opportunity here to reposition crypto. When traditional economic systems are being shaken by trade wars and retaliatory tariffs, the idea of a decentralized, borderless financial alternative starts to resonate on a whole new level.Crypto has long pitched itself as a hedge against inflation and a tool for financial freedom. In the context of rising global protectionism and economic fragmentation, those messages carry more weight than ever. Smart projects and investors will lean into this narrative, growing from the rain as opposed to simply weathering the storm.

Over $4 trillion worth of real estate could be tokenized on blockchain networks during the next decade, potentially offering investors greater access to property ownership opportunities, according to a new report.The Deloitte Center for Financial Services predicts that over $4 trillion worth of real estate may be tokenized by 2035, up from less than $300 billion in 2024. The report, published April 24, estimates a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of more than 27%.The $4 trillion of tokenized property is predicted to stem from the benefits of blockchain-based assets, as well as a structural shift across real estate and property ownership.Global tokenized real estate value, growth predictions.

Post-pandemic work-from-home trends, climate risk, and digitization have reshaped property fundamentals,” according to Chris Yin, co-founder of Plume Network, a blockchain built for real-world assets (RWAs).“Office buildings are being repurposed into AI data centers, logistics hubs and energy-efficient residential communities,” Yin told Cointelegraph.“Investors want targeted access to these modern use cases, and tokenization enables programmable, customizable exposure to such evolving asset profiles,” he said.Related: Blockchain needs regulation, scalability to close AI hiring gapThe uncertainty triggered by US President Donald Trump’s import tariffs has boosted investor interest in the RWA tokenization sector, which involves minting financial products and tangible assets on a blockchain.Both stablecoins and RWAs have attracted significant capital as safe-haven assets amid the global trade concerns, Juan Pellicer, senior research analyst at IntoTheBlock, told Cointelegraph.The tariff concerns also led tokenized gold volume to surpass $1 billion in trading volume on April 10, its highest level since March 2023 when a US banking crisis saw the sudden collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and the voluntary liquidation of Silvergate BankRelated: US banks are ‘free to begin supporting Bitcoin’ — Michael SaylorBlockchain innovation could drive regulatory clarityGrowing RWA adoption may inspire a more welcoming stance from global regulators, Yin said.“While regulation is a hurdle, regulation follows usage,” he explained, likening tokenization to Uber’s growth before widespread regulatory acceptance:“Tokenization is similar — as demand increases, regulatory clarity will follow.”He added that making tokenized products compliant with a wide range of international regulations is key to unlocking broader market access.

The crypto market in 2025 is breaking away from its old identity crisis. With economic uncertainty, rising demand for tokenized utility, and growing pressure on centralized platforms, there’s a renewed appetite for affordable coins with real upside.

Bitcoin’s recovery continues to show momentum, with the asset currently trading at $94,288 after gaining 1.6% over the past 24 hours. The price has now risen nearly 15% over the past two weeks, reversing a previous correction phase and pushing BTC closer to retesting the $100,000 price mark. Amid the price performance, recent market analysis points to diverging signals between BTC’s funding rate behavior and growing confidence among US-based investors. Related Reading: Bitcoin Whales Back In ‘Full Force’ For The Rally, Glassnode Reveals Bitcoin Funding Rates Drop Despite Rising Prices According to Nino, an analyst from CryptoQuant,  the Bitcoin funding rate—typically used to gauge sentiment in the perpetual futures BTC market has again dipped into negative territory, even as whale accumulation continues on major exchanges like Binance and Coinbase. Nino particularly identified a notable development in Bitcoin’s derivatives market. The 72-hour average of BTC funding rates, including moving average indicators (MA, EMA, WMA), has entered negative territory for the fourth time this year. Funding rates refer to periodic payments made between long and short positions on perpetual futures contracts, with negative rates meaning short positions are paying long positions. This generally reflects that the market is either positioning defensively or becoming cautious at current price levels. What makes this instance notable is that previous dips into negative funding rates occurred at lower price levels, whereas the current shift has taken place above $94,000. Nino suggests this may point to potential market exhaustion or a phase of profit-taking, where short traders are more active despite upward price movement. If volatility increases and funding rates remain suppressed, a spike in liquidations could follow, especially if open interest in leveraged positions expands rapidly. Coinbase Premium and Whale Behavior Reflect US Investor Activity In a separate analysis, CryptoQuant analyst Crypto Dan noted a trend reversal beginning around April 21, accompanied by renewed buying from large holders, or “whales.” Notably, these purchases were first identified on Binance and were soon followed by similar activity on Coinbase. According to Dan, this pattern may indicate rising confidence among US-based investors and growing participation from institutions or high-net-worth individuals. One supporting metric is the Coinbase premium, which tracks the price difference between BTC on Coinbase and other global exchanges. A positive premium typically reflects stronger demand from US investors. Related Reading: Bitcoin Metrics on Binance Show Shift That Could Precede Market Squeeze As of now, this premium remains in positive territory, suggesting that US market participants are contributing to BTC’s recent momentum. Dan concludes that the current phase may signal more than a typical price rebound and could represent a broader shift in market structure, driven by renewed capital inflows and institutional positioning.

United States Senator Cynthia Lummis suggests the crypto industry may be celebrating too soon over the US Federal Reserve softening its crypto guidance for banks.“The Fed withdrawing crypto guidance is just noise, not real progress,” Lummis said in an April 25 X post. Lummis called the Fed’s April 24 announcement — withdrawing its 2022 supervisory letter that had discouraged banks from engaging with crypto and stablecoin activities — “just lip service.”Lummis is “not fooled”Lummis, a pro-crypto advocate known for introducing the Bitcoin (BTC) Strategic Reserve Bill in July 2024, pointed out several flaws in the Fed’s announcement, even as Strategy founder Michael Saylor and crypto entrepreneur Anthony Pompliano suggested it was a step forward for banks and crypto.Source: Anthony PomplianoShe argued that the Fed continues to “illegally flout the law on master accounts” and still relies on reputational risk in its bank supervision practices. It comes as the Federal Insurance Deposit Corporation (FDIC) is working on a rule to stop examiners from considering reputational risk when reviewing a bank’s operations, according to a recent Bloomberg report.Lummis also highlighted the Fed’s policy statement in Section 9(13), which hasn’t been withdrawn, stating that Bitcoin and digital assets are considered “unsafe and unsound.”She also reiterated many of the same staff behind Operation Chokepoint 2.0 are still involved in crypto policy today.“We are NOT fooled. The Fed assassinated companies within the industry and hurt American interests by stifling innovation and shuttering businesses. This fight is far from over.”“I will continue to hold the Fed accountable until the digital asset industry gets more than a life jacket, Chair Powell — they need a fair shake,” Lummis said.Related: If Trump fired Powell, what would happen to crypto?Custodia Bank founder and CEO Caitlin Long seemed to share a similar view to Lummis.“THANK YOU for seeing this for what it is,” Long said.Source: David SacksHowever, other crypto executives praised the Fed’s announcement as a positive development for the industry.

A report from the on-chain analytics firm Glassnode has revealed how Bitcoin investors have recently been realizing an hourly profit 17% above the baseline. Bitcoin Realized Profit Has Spiked Alongside Recovery Rally In its latest weekly report, Glassnode has talked about the recent trend in the Realized Profit of Bitcoin. The “Realized Profit” here refers to an on-chain indicator that, as its name suggests, measures the total amount of profit that the BTC investors are realizing through their selling. Related Reading: Litecoin Conviction Remains Strong: More Than 20% Of Supply Frozen Since 5+ Years The indicator works by looking at the transaction history of each coin being transferred or sold on the network to check what price it was previously transferred at. Sales of coins that have a price lower than the latest spot value are assumed to be resulting in profit realization equal to the difference between the two. The Realized Profit sums up this difference for each token being sold at a profit to gauge the network total. Another indicator called the Realized Loss keeps track of the sales of the opposite type. Now, here is the chart for the hourly Bitcoin Realized Profit shared by the analytics firm in the report: As is visible in the above graph, the Bitcoin Realized Profit has witnessed a sharp spike recently. The increase in the indicator has come as BTC has been rallying, so it would appear that the investors have been looking to cash in on the opportunity. So far, the indicator has achieved a peak of $139 million per hour, which is about 17% higher than the baseline value of $120 million per hour. While this level isn’t too high when compared to the profit-taking sprees from the last bull rally (highlighted in green), it’s still notable, especially when considering how much lower it has been during the last couple of months. “If the market can absorb this selling pressure without breaking down, it paints a more constructive picture on the road ahead,” notes Glassnode. “Conversely, failure to hold these levels, under heavy profit realization, could mark this move as another dead cat bounce, which would be consistent with prior relief rallies that faded under similar conditions.” As for which side of the Bitcoin market is involved in this profit-taking event, data points toward the short-term holder cohort. The short-term holders (STHs) refer to the BTC investors who purchased their coins within the past 155 days. Related Reading: Bitcoin Whales Back In ‘Full Force’ For The Rally, Glassnode Reveals Below is a chart that shows the trend in the Spent Output Profit Ratio (SOPR), a metric that keeps track of the ratio between Realized Profit and Realized Loss, for the STHs. From the graph, it’s apparent that the Bitcoin STH SOPR has seen a sustained move above the 1.0 mark, which suggests profit-taking is now notably outweighing loss-taking from these investors.

Ethereum is gradually regaining momentum after a recent correction, now trading above $1,700, reflecting a 12.2% increase over the past week. This recovery has drawn attention from analysts, who seem to be looking into the asset’s movement for signs of sustained strength or renewed volatility. Despite this short-term rise, ETH remains approximately 63% below its all-time high of $4,878 reached in 2021, highlighting the broader downturn that has characterized the Ethereum market since late 2021. Related Reading: Ethereum Whales Just Accumulated 640K ETH, Is a Bigger Rally Coming? Ethereum Derivative Exchange Inflows Point to Potential Volatility Recent on-chain data and exchange flows suggest Ethereum’s price trajectory may be influenced by broader macro factors and strategic trading behavior. Among the latest observations is a notable surge in ETH sent to derivative exchanges, a metric often linked to increased speculative activity or changes in trader positioning. This trend, coupled with key political developments in the US, has raised new questions about what might be next for Ethereum and the wider crypto market. According to an analysis by Amr Taha, a contributor on CryptoQuant’s QuickTake platform, Ethereum has recorded unusually large inflows to derivative exchanges in the past 48 hours, with one spike exceeding 80,000 ETH. Historically, such inflows are seen ahead of periods of increased volatility, as traders shift assets to leverage positions or hedge against expected price movements. While not a definitive predictor of direction, this behavior suggests rising expectations of short-term market activity. Taha’s analysis notes that the inflow coincided with a recent political statement from US President Donald Trump, who confirmed he has no intention of removing Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. This announcement was interpreted by markets as a signal that the Fed will continue to operate independently, easing concerns about political interference in monetary policy. Taha notes that given how closely crypto markets respond to central bank tone and economic indicators, this development added a layer of macro stability to a market already reacting to technical signals. BTC Whale Activity and Derivatives Data Suggest Tactical Shifts While Ethereum-specific data remains the primary focus, Taha also highlighted key movements in Bitcoin markets that may have indirect effects on ETH. On April 23, over $600 million worth of BTC was transferred from whale wallets to exchanges, marking the largest single-day BTC inflow in several weeks. This came after a breakout in the BTC/GBP pair, which triggered significant short liquidations. According to Taha, the large BTC transfer may reflect a setup where late long entries could face downside risk if selling pressure intensifies. For Ethereum, this backdrop raises the possibility of a short-term retracement, especially if correlated selling occurs across major digital assets.

As Bitcoin (BTC) edges closer to the psychologically significant $100,000 milestone, several technical and on-chain indicators suggest that a major breakout could be on the horizon. One such metric – Bitcoin’s Apparent Demand – has shown a strong rebound, signalling renewed interest and sustained accumulation in the market. Bitcoin Sees Sharp Rebound In Apparent Demand According to a recent CryptoQuant Quicktake post, contributor IT Tech pointed to a significant rise in BTC’s Apparent Demand. Most notably, this key indicator has returned to positive territory after spending several consecutive weeks in the red. Related Reading: Bitcoin Enters New Phase: Analyst Predicts Positive Movement In 2025 For the uninitiated, Bitcoin’s Apparent Demand (30-day sum) measures the cumulative net demand for BTC over the past 30 days by tracking wallet accumulation and exchange outflows. A sharp increase in this metric suggests strong, sustained buying pressure, which can indicate bullish sentiment and potential for a price rally. The following chart illustrates this rebound in BTC’s Apparent Demand, which essentially reflects net changes in one-year inactive supply adjusted by daily block rewards – a metric designed to better represent organic demand growth. Previously, this metric had fallen deeply into negative territory – dipping below -200,000 (highlighted in red) – suggesting waning demand. However, its recent reversal into positive territory signals that long-dormant capital is flowing back into the market. As noted in the post: The demand pivot is closely aligned with the recent price rebound above $87K, implying this recovery is underpinned by real on-chain behavior rather than purely speculative flows. This marks the first positive Apparent Demand reading since February and aligns with rising inflows into spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), as well as growing accumulation by long-term holders. Data from SoSoValue shows that US-based spot BTC ETFs have recorded five consecutive days of net positive inflows, totalling more than $2.5 billion. The cumulative net inflow into spot BTC ETFs now stands at an impressive $38.05 billion. Is A BTC Rally In Sight? IT Tech noted that past reversals in Apparent Demand have historically preceded either significant rallies or periods of strong price support. If the current trend continues, BTC may have the momentum needed to challenge the $90,000 level in the near term. Related Reading: Bitcoin Surpasses Realized Price Of Recent Buyers — Rally Incoming Or Double Top? However, analysts caution that Bitcoin must hold its current support around $91,500 to maintain upward momentum. This level is particularly important because it is close to the realized price of short-term BTC holders, according to CryptoQuant contributor Crazzyblockk. Further adding to this outlook, prominent crypto analyst Rekt Capital emphasized that Bitcoin needs to secure a weekly close above $93,500 and reclaim it as support in order to establish a clear path to $100,000. At press time, BTC trades at $94,492, up 2% in the last 24 hours. Featured image from Unsplash, charts from CryptoQuant and Tradingview.com

Spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETF) in the United States saw over $3 billion in inflows this week, marking the first full week of consecutive inflows in five weeks.On April 25, the 11 spot Bitcoin (BTC) ETFs saw $380 million in inflows, bringing the total for the week to around $3.06 billion over five consecutive inflow days, according to Farside data. The last time spot Bitcoin ETFs had a full week of inflow days was the trading week ending March 21.Strong inflow week turns April into positive monthETF analyst Eric Balchunas said in an April 24 X post that “ETFs are on a Bitcoin bender.”“What’s really notable here is just HOW FAST the flows can go from 1st gear to 5th gear,” Balchunas said, forecasting that some of those flows may be due to the “basis trade back in effect.”Source: Satoshi StackerAmid ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty, spot Bitcoin ETFs have experienced a volatile April, with nine out of the 18 trading days so far being outflow days. However, a strong surge of inflows over the past week has turned the month positive, bringing total net inflows for April to approximately $2.26 billion.On the same day, Strategy founder Michael Saylor reportedly said at the Bitwise Invest Bitcoin Corporations Investor Day that BlackRock’s iShare Bitcoin ETF “will be “the biggest ETF in the world in ten years.”Related: 5 Bitcoin charts predicting BTC price rally toward $100K by May Just two days prior, on April 23, BlackRock’s iShare Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) was awarded the “Best New ETF” at the annual etf.com ETF awards.

Bitcoin should be valued as “an uncorrelated asset that benefits when the world gets messier,” BlackRock’s US Head of Equity ETFs Jay Jacobs told CNBC in an interview on Thursday. “Crypto over the long run is decoupled from US tech stocks,” Jacobs said, stressing that short-term market stress can mask the difference but that “the long-term correlation between US stocks and Bitcoin is more like two or three percent.” He argued that what pushes equities higher—“higher growth, higher certainty, lower geopolitical risk”—is the mirror image of the forces that move Bitcoin. “Bitcoin thrives when you have more uncertainty and are looking for something that’s going to behave differently, so fundamentally they should behave like an uncorrelated asset.” BTC was changing hands just under $94,000 during Jacobs’ appearance, extending a rally that has added roughly 150% since spot-ETF approvals early last year. Bitcoin Rises Because Of ‘Mega-Forces” Jacobs tied price behaviour directly to flows. “We would think over the long term, if this trajectory of greater uncertainty around the world continues, things like gold and Bitcoin should continue to go up.” He noted that investors are repositioning accordingly: “We’ve seen significant inflows into gold ETFs; we’ve seen significant inflows into Bitcoin, and this is all because people are looking for those assets that will behave differently.” Related Reading: Bitcoin Reclaims Key Levels – New ATHs May Be Closer Than Expected The biggest beneficiary has been BlackRock’s own iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), which on 23 April absorbed $643 million of net creations—its largest one-day haul since January—lifting the fund’s assets to roughly $54 billion. Jacobs framed the rush into hard assets as part of a longer geopolitical realignment. “If you look at central banks around the world, a continued movement towards diversification beyond just holding dollars is something that’s been happening for decades… the switch from just holding dollars to holding gold to looking at other types of assets like Bitcoin is a trend that’s been years in the making.” Central-bank gold purchases illustrate the shift: net buying topped 1,044 tonnes in 2024, the third consecutive year above the thousand-tonne mark, double the average of the previous decade. He linked those reserve moves to BlackRock’s 2023 “mega-forces” framework, which identified geopolitical fragmentation as a secular driver of returns. “That mega force is materialising in policies like reshoring in the United States and, I think, directly related to that fragmentation has been the rise of things like Bitcoin, as people see more destabilisation in geopolitics resulting in the need for more alternative assets.” Related Reading: Déjà Boom—Arthur Hayes Says Bitcoin’s 2022 Rally Setup Is Back BlackRock’s influence is difficult to overstate: the firm ended the first quarter with a record $11.6 trillion under management. By pairing that scale with a public thesis that Bitcoin’s fair price rises as uncertainty deepens, the asset-manager is effectively codifying a valuation model in which scarcity and sanction-resistance—not discounted cash flows—set the marginal price. As Jacobs put it, the market is “looking for alternatives—parts of the portfolio that are going to behave separately from stocks and bonds.” With IBIT now swallowing more BTC each day than miners can produce post-halving, his remarks may offer the clearest blueprint yet for how the world’s largest asset manager thinks about pricing the world’s largest cryptocurrency.
