The FOMC, which sets U.S. interest rates, met in May 2025. They decided to keep interest rates the same because the economy is facing both high prices (inflation) and new tariffs, but jobs are still strong. The Fed wants to wait and see how things go before making any changes. Their decision affects loans, credit cards, and the overall economy.

What you do next could define your crypto future.

The world feels like it’s on the brink. From growing unrest in the Middle East to rising tensions in Asia and Eastern Europe, whispers of World War III are getting louder. Global markets are reacting—and crypto is far from immune.

But here’s the twist:

$XUSD RP might be one of the few digital assets built to weather this storm.

Why XRP Could Lead in Crisis

1. Real-World Utility, Not Hype

Unlike many coins chasing headlines, XRP was designed with purpose—fast, scalable, and built for cross-border payments.

2. When Traditional Finance Wobbles, XRP Stands Strong

As global banks strain under uncertainty, RippleNet offers an alternative—an infrastructure that could help keep money moving when legacy systems fail.

3. Regulatory Momentum in the U.S.

While many tokens remain trapped in legal limbo, XRP is gaining clarity. That makes it one of the few major assets institutions can start backing with confidence.

4. Institutional Quiet Moves

While retail investors rush into memes and short-term plays, smart money is accumulating XRP—positioning early for what may come next.

The Bigger Picture

In the short term, XRP may still feel the impact of a market downturn. But long term? It has the fundamentals to serve as a key player in a new, decentralized financial world.

So here’s the question every crypto holder needs to ask:
$BTC

Are you here for short-term hype—or long-term utility?

Because if the world changes tomorrow, the utility-driven tokens may be the ones left standing.

$BTC price opened the week with a correction, but strong interest from institutional investors keeps the $100,000 target within reasonable reach.
Key takeaways:

Bitcoin price slips, but BTC dominance is on the rise.

Sizable purchases by Strategy and the spot BTC ETFs highlight institutional investors’ appetite for Bitcoin.
$BTC price has dropped by 4.3% in the last three days after nearly reaching $97,900 on May 2. Despite showing resilience at the $94,000 level on May 5, some traders are disappointed that strong institutional inflows have not been enough to maintain bullish momentum. However, several encouraging signs suggest that a new all-time high for Bitcoin in 2025 remains within reach.

Bitcoin’s dominance over the broader cryptocurrency market has surged, currently standing at 70%, its highest since January 2021. This has occurred despite a wave of new token launches, including several top-50 projects such as SUI, Toncoin (TON), PI, Official Trump (TRUMP), Bittensor (TAO), Ethena (ENA), and Celestia (TIA). This dominance makes riskier altcoins less appealing to new market entrants.

The spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $4.5 billion in net inflows between April 22 and May 2. At the same time, the increasing appetite for Bitcoin futures signals growing institutional adoption regardless of whether leverage is used for downside protection or bullish bets.

According to CoinGlass, the total open interest in Bitcoin futures markets has reached 669,090 BTC, a 21% increase since March 5. Even after Bitcoin’s price crashed below $75,000 in early April, demand for leveraged positions remained strong. The open interest in BTC futures on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) alone exceeds $13.5 billion, indicating robust institutional demand.

Several factors explain why Bitcoin has struggled to reclaim the $100,000 level. Traders who bought in anticipation of the US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve bill on March 6 are growing increasingly frustrated, as the government has yet to disclose its BTC holdings or announce plans for further purchases. Additionally, similar state-level Bitcoin bills have repeatedly failed, including the latest setback in the US state of Arizona.

Strategy doubles its plans for BTC acquisitions despite the global trade war
Over the past three months, gold has outperformed most assets, rising 16%, while Bitcoin has declined by 5% and the S&P 500 has corrected by 6.5%. This has challenged the notion of Bitcoin as an uncorrelated asset, as the cryptocurrency has repeatedly failed to decouple from the S&P 500 amid rising economic risks. The global trade war has led investors to favor fixed-income assets and cash positions.

Bitcoin’s recent drop to $94,000 is particularly concerning given that Strategy, a US-listed company led by Michael Saylor, announced the acquisition of 1,895 BTC on May 5, after doubling its capital increase plan to fund further Bitcoin purchases. However, since investors were previously uncertain about Strategy’s ability to raise additional capital, the announcement of an $84 billion plan on May 1 has reduced some of this risk.

For Bitcoin to reach a new all-time high, investors will likely need reassurance that US-China trade relations are improving, as tariffs have negatively impacted overall risk appetite. Nevertheless, the key elements for a BTC bull run above $100,000 appear to be in place.

Business intelligence firm Strategy has further solidified its position as the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin with a substantial purchase of 1,895 BTC, valued at approximately $180.3 million. This move, disclosed in a Monday filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), underscores the firm’s continued aggressive accumulation strategy.
Between April 28 and May 4, Strategy acquired the Bitcoin at an average price of $95,167 per coin. This latest buy brings the company’s total BTC holdings to an eye-watering 555,450 BTC, acquired for roughly $38.08 billion, translating to an average cost basis of $68,550 per Bitcoin.

The purchase was funded via capital raised from both common and preferred stock sales. Specifically, Strategy raised $128.5 million through its at-the-market (ATM) offering for common stock and $51.8 million through STRK preferred shares. Notably, this transaction marked the full deployment of the company’s earlier $21 billion ATM program, initiated last year.

In a sign of unrelenting confidence in Bitcoin, Strategy announced the launch of a new $21 billion ATM offering and the expansion of its debt purchase program to $42 billion, effectively doubling its capital-raising firepower. These developments underscore the firm’s long-term strategic vision centered around Bitcoin accumulation.

At current prices of around $94,000 per BTC, Strategy’s holdings are worth over $52 billion, representing 2.64% of Bitcoin’s maximum supply, a monumental corporate stake in the asset.

Michael Saylor’s ultra-bullish forecast: $13M Bitcoin by 2045
Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman and co-founder of Strategy, continues to be one of the most vocal Bitcoin evangelists in the corporate world. In a recent CNBC interview, Saylor linked the future of Bitcoin to global financial transformation.
Analysts forecast Bitcoin to hit $120,000 by end of June
While Saylor’s long-term view paints a multidecade bullish picture, institutional analysts are also expressing confidence in Bitcoin’s medium-term trajectory. According to Standard Chartered’s Geoffrey Kendrick, Bitcoin could reach $120,000 by the end of Q2 2025.

In a recent report, Kendrick outlined several catalysts for this projection:

Reallocation away from U.S. assets: Investors are diversifying amid evolving macroeconomic conditions. Time-of-day trading patterns suggest strong demand from U.S.-based investors.
U.S. Treasury term premium: At a 12-year high, this metric indicates increased investor interest in alternative assets like Bitcoin.
Whale accumulation: Large BTC holders with over 1,000 coins are accumulating aggressively—often a precursor to major rallies.

ETF flows: Increased inflows into Bitcoin ETFs show that BTC is increasingly viewed as a safer hedge than gold.
Political developments: Following the April 9 tariff reprieve by President Trump, Bitcoin’s correlation with tech stocks declined, signaling greater independence from equities.
