A cryptocurrency bill will be introduced in the French Parliament. This was reported by the co-founder of the media The Big Whale, Grégory Raymond. According to him, the legislative initiative was developed by the UDR party under the leadership of Éric Ciotti.

The bill proposes three main initiatives, including:
- a state bitcoin reserve. It is proposed to create a special institution that will accumulate 420,000 BTC (2% of the total circulation) over 7-8 years through mining from excess atomic and hydro energy, $BTC , seized in court proceedings, daily bitcoin purchases, as well as possible tax payments in bitcoins;
- support for stablecoins in euros. The bill recognizes stablecoins as an alternative to payment systems #Visa and #Mastercard , provides tax exemption for payments up to €200 per day, allows tax payments in stablecoins, simplifies MiCA regulatory requirements, and opposes the introduction of a digital euro at the EU level;
benefits for miners and the crypto industry.

However, the chances of the bill's adoption are slim. It is not included in the budget and is submitted without the support of other parties.

The CEO #BlackRock Larry Fink stated that investors are increasingly investing in precious metals and cryptocurrencies due to concerns about rising government debt worldwide. According to him, the demand for such instruments is growing due to the so-called "devaluation trading."

Despite this, Fink noted that the U.S. remains a primary destination for global investments for at least the next 18 months. However, he is concerned about the dependence on international buyers of American debt securities.

BlackRock also raised $3 billion in digital assets in Q1 2025, confirming the growth of institutional interest in cryptocurrencies.

The company #Metaplanet , one of the largest corporate owners of the first cryptocurrency $BTC , launched a share buyback program. This occurred against the backdrop of a decline in the mNAV indicator, which assesses the company's capitalization relative to the value of its crypto asset portfolio.

According to CEO of Metaplanet Simon Gerovich, the program will enhance capital efficiency and profitability per share. As part of it, the board of directors approved the creation of a credit line of up to $500 million.

The buyback will take place on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. The maximum volume is 150 million ordinary shares, which is equivalent to 13.13% of the total issuance volume.

An anonymous group will install a 14-foot golden statue of Changpeng Zhao (#CZ ) ― the founder of the cryptocurrency exchange #Binance. . According to the organizer, who calls himself Nick Zee, the object will appear near the U.S. Capitol.

The figure, painted in gold, depicts Zhao with a characteristic gesture ― four raised fingers as a symbol of resistance to #FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) in 2023.

The company #Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) received a credit rating of B- from S&P Global Ratings. This rating was explained by the organization due to the risks of the business model and limited dollar liquidity.

It should be noted that S&P Global Ratings has a scale for assessing counterparties based on their creditworthiness — from AAA (extremely high) to D (default), according to the official website.

For example, stocks and bonds rated BBB- are the lower limit of the investment grade. Anything rated below this is considered a speculative asset.

According to the release, the B- rating for Strategy is due to a number of factors. This includes the narrow focus of the business, high concentration of bitcoins in the portfolio, and low dollar liquidity.

Such a rating reflects an imbalance in assets, the absence of cash flow from operational activities, and its vulnerability to cyber security threats. At the same time, the specifics of the Strategy business model will continue to influence its rating in the future, S&P Global Ratings emphasized.

Despite the record attention of institutional investors and the launch of spot #ETF , the volatility of Bitcoin $BTC has not gone away — and the price drop could again reach 50%, warned BitMine head Tom Lee.

Against the backdrop of increasing claims of supposed "maturity" of the cryptocurrency market, Lee believes that Bitcoin still amplifies stock fluctuations: "The stock market often experiences a 25% drawdown. […] If the S&P falls by 20%, Bitcoin could drop by 40%" (quote).

According to him, the last six years have shown significant progress in the stock market, but at the same time, there have been "unusually many" serious pullbacks.

Lee also believes that Bitcoin has deviated from the classic four-year cycle that should have led to a peak in October this year: "A longer cycle is forming" (quote).

In particular, this opinion is shared by BitMEX co-founder and Maelstrom fund investment director Arthur Hayes, who believes that Bitcoin is capable of reaching $200,000 by the end of the decade.
