Who is checking the fund 🙄

American stock futures slightly drifted down on Wednesday as investors nervously await important figures and reports from the 'big players'. Later today, the March PCE price index (the Fed's favorite) 📈 and the first estimate of GDP for the first quarter 📊 are expected to be released. A small reason for panic? Perhaps.

In corporate news: after the market closes, Meta Platforms and Microsoft will report their results 💻. For now, we can only guess how they will surprise us.

Meanwhile, SMCI decided not to wait for overall panic — their shares have already plummeted by 15% 📉 after the publication of 'not very' preliminary results for the third quarter. Good job, what can I say.

On Tuesday, however, everything was quite upbeat: the Dow rose by 0.75%, the S&P 500 gained 0.58%, and the Nasdaq Composite increased by 0.55% 🔥. For the Dow and S&P, this marks the sixth consecutive day of growth — almost like marathon runners.

Market sentiment was improved by news that the White House is on the verge of reaching a trade deal 🤝. Trade Secretary Howard Lutnick was reassuring, and Trump immediately added optimism by stating that an agreement with India could be signed soon. We are waiting.

Has everyone forgotten about NEAR? But it’s working! 🧠⚙️

While the entire market is watching Bitcoin and its rally 🚀, the NEAR project is quietly doing its job. And then — unexpectedly: a mention of the Bitwise NEAR ETF appeared on the Delaware website 📑. The registration took place on Thursday — yes, it's still just a formality, but it’s always the starting point for launching new funds 🔓➡️📈.

The CEO of Bitwise, Hunter Horsley, has already confirmed: the application is real ✅, and they are indeed working on a fund for NEAR. This is not their first attempt — previously, Bitwise also filed for ETFs on Dogecoin, Aptos, and XRP 🐶⚡. Then all the documents went to the SEC, where they awaited official approval 🕰️.

NEAR is currently ranked 43rd by market capitalization 🌐. In recent days, the price has risen slightly — above $2.60 📊. Not bad, especially against the backdrop of the quiet around the project 👀.

Why is this important? ❗

Bitwise and other companies are actively promoting new crypto ETFs 🧩. After Trump's arrival 🧑‍⚖️, the SEC has become more lenient towards crypto. Several cases against projects have already been closed ⚖️, and the regulator has started openly discussing the rules of the game with the market — through roundtables and dialogues 🤝.

📌I am more than sure, as soon as NEAR reaches 4$ : there will be shouting from all corners that it’s time to buy 😏

Bitcoin is back in the game: what’s next?

After five weeks of calm, Bitcoin has finally come to life and has broken an important psychological level — $90,000. There is currently optimism in the market, and many are expecting continued growth.

Investors are greedy

Social media is experiencing a surge of positive sentiment, similar to November 2024 during the US elections. People believe in further growth and are trying not to miss the moment. But this is not always good: when there are too many greedy investors — the market can overheat, and the price may pull back.

Macroeconomics on Bitcoin's side

The profit/loss (P/L) indicator has almost reached the level of 1.0. This means that half of the holders are in profit, while half are in loss. Such a balance previously served as a resistance level during tough times, but if Bitcoin confidently breaks through it, there is a chance for a powerful continuation of growth.

However, this is also a double-edged sword. Many may want to sell and lock in profits, which will create pressure on the price.

Forecast: everything depends on support

Currently, Bitcoin is priced around $95,000. It has almost approached the important level of $95,761. If it breaks through — the path to $100,000 is open. Greed will intensify, no one will want to sell, and demand will continue to rise.

#XRPETFs
🔥 The New York Stock Exchange has also decided to join the crypto party: officially filed a 19b-4 document with the SEC to turn the dull Grayscale XRP Trust into a trendy spot ETF.

A merger with Bitwise, Canary Capital, 21Shares, WisdomTree, and CoinShares? Of course! More companies mean more chances that someone will push this idea forward! The dream team collaboration.

📈 You can already start drawing charts to the Moon and beyond — because the mass growth of XRP is just around the corner… Or two corners. Or maybe on another planet altogether. The main thing is to believe! ✨

#TrumpTaxCuts
Trump Tax Cuts 2.0: the show goes on!

Donald Trump is back in action — promising us even more tax breaks! 🎩✨
On the agenda: lower taxes for the middle class (so the middle class believes it’s back in the spotlight), ease the burden on small businesses (finally), and possibly even cut corporate rates (who else to help if not corporations, right?).

📈 Investors are on edge: who knows what they’ll come up with next. And economists are already starting to scratch their heads nervously: budget deficit? Oh, when has that ever concerned anyone! The main thing is economic growth and pretty numbers on graphs!

Supporters are glowing with joy: “This will be a new golden age!”
Skeptics sigh: “Get your wallets ready, comrades; we’ll pay for it later anyway.”

In general, 2025 is clearly going to be a fun year for U.S. tax policy.

What are the predictions for May🙄, oh, what an ungrateful task this is.

April's Bitcoin growth once again convinced everyone that 🚀 "we're going to the Moon!"
But let's face the truth: May is quite a month for BTC, as the modest 14 years of history show 📉. Six times during this period, May ended worse than it started. A great reason to hope for a miracle, right?

But no! Analysts assure: everything will be cool!
Doctor Profit is already aiming for $100,000 ✨. Institutions have supposedly "gobbled up" all the supply, exchanges are empty.....

Dennis Porter has charged the cannon to $250,000. Yes, yes, in May. Because why not? 🚀🚀🚀
Sensei assures: "the bear trap" is behind us, China is about to embrace crypto. (Well, maybe not, just minor details!)

Karl Runefelt can almost hear the steps of the approaching bull run. Probably in his headphones… 🎧

Meanwhile, Titan of Crypto is waving his hands and whispering: "Hey, we haven't even broken the trend line yet!"

AltstreetBet gloomily reminds that according to patterns from previous years, May is a drop. Well, yes, spoiled the holiday…

Meme coins are once again showing "smart investing"! 🎉🙄

In the last 24 hours, Floki Inu (FLOKI) surged over 32%, surpassing the sluggish veterans Dogecoin and Shiba Inu. 🐶💨
At the time of writing, FLOKI was proudly trading at a whopping $0.00008164 — quite a fortune, isn't it? 💸😂

Analysts are already buzzing: they say the coin might soon crawl up to $0.0001, unless, of course, the entire crypto market suddenly remembers that meme coins are a joke. 🧐
Particularly optimistic is a crypto analyst named Shiba Knight (no, this is not a joke). He believes that FLOKI is in "an interesting position." Well, of course, where else would it be — on the brink of genius growth or epic collapse. 🎢

Another analyst noted that the trading volume of FLOKI has sharply increased. 🚀 In their opinion, if everything goes "right" (which apparently means: more noise on Twitter), the coin could rise by as much as 270% and reach $0.00027!
So for the price of a piece of gum, you could buy a whole mountain of FLOKI. 🫠

The chart is also playing along with the mood — it shows a beautiful bullish breakout pattern. 📈 Because, of course, a meme coin must repeat its past feats and "amaze" us again 😳🫣

#XRPETF
Wow, grand news!
The world's first spot ETF on XRP (yes, XRP, not something popular) started trading on the Brazilian exchange B3 on April 25! 🎉
Ticker — XRPH11, index — Nasdaq XRP Reference Price Index, and a whopping 95% of the assets will actually be in XRP! The rest, apparently, is for a rainy day — in futures and "other instruments." All for stability, of course. 🚀

Hashdex joyfully reports that this is already their ninth ETF on B3. 🏆 Is anyone still counting? No? Well, that’s fine!
The ETF is aimed at experienced investors — those who are not afraid to add an asset to their portfolio that could soar… or plummet without warning. 🎢

Naturally, all under the sauce of "safety" and "transparency" to calm the nerves of those who decide to take the risk. 🔒👀

And now for the numbers:
As of April 18, there were a whopping 950 million dollars in XRP-ETP worldwide. 💰 A gigantic amount… if you don’t know that it’s less than a billion.
But no worries! JPMorgan assures that the market could grow to as much as 8 billion dollars. 🌈✨ Hope dies last!

$ETH
Ethereum: Can ETH hold above?

Ethereum is trying to recover from the March drop and is currently trading at the level of 1770-1820. However, market sentiment remains tense ⚡️.

What's happening:
• The NUPL indicator has entered the capitulation phase — investors are ready to sell ⚠️.
• MVRV Long/Short Difference is deeply in the negative (-30%) — pressure on the price is increasing ❗️.
• Short-term holders (STH) are inclined to take profits — this hinders growth ⛔️.

Key levels:
• Resistance: $1,796 — it needs to be broken for movement towards $2,000 🚀.
• Support: $1,671 — losing this level could drop ETH to $1,522 📉.

What to expect next:
• If buyers become active, Ethereum could consolidate above $1,796 and target $1,906 and $2,000 ✅.
• With weak demand, ETH risks returning to a downtrend ❄️.

⚠️ Attention! Reminding you about the main scam schemes and how not to become a victim of fraudsters. Remember: there is no quick money in crypto, only quick losses of your deposit! ❌

1️⃣ Buy altcoins only on verified CEX exchanges.
Do not believe stories about "secret tokens before listing" in Telegram channels. All these tokens are usually created in such a way that they cannot be sold. Scammers may pretend to work through exchanges, but then they will drag you to a fake WEB3 site. And there you can lose everything. ⚠️

2️⃣ Do not click on suspicious links under crypto videos on YouTube.
Even if the comment looks "official" — it is almost always a trap. 🎯

3️⃣ Do not fall for offers to buy "unique tokens" in the comments.
The mechanics are as old as the world: lure you into purchasing — and then leave you with illiquid assets in your hands. ❌

4️⃣ Never enter seed phrases found on the internet.
Stories like "I have a wallet with millions, help me withdraw" are designed to exploit greed. The wallet may contain trash, while your real assets will be stolen. 🔥

5️⃣ Do not send crypto to unknown platforms for high interest.

FEAR AND GREED IN CRYPTO: how to earn while others lose 💰

You may know technical analysis, indicators, volumes, and candles. But until you feel the crowd's mood, you are blind in crypto.
One of the most powerful and underrated tools is the Fear & Greed Index 📉📈

It shows what is happening not on the chart, but in the minds of traders.
And the market is psychology. It's emotions. Not logic, not mathematics.

What is it?

It's a scale from 0 to 100, where:
• 0–49 — Fear 😨: people are scared, selling, waiting for a crash
• 50 — Neutral 😐
• 51–100 — Greed 😈: the crowd is chasing profit, FOMO at its peak

The main rule: "Buy on fear, sell on greed" 🧠

The crowd is almost always wrong.
When the index is low — everyone is scared, but that’s when the most attractive entry points are.
When the index is high — everyone believes in eternal growth, but the market is already overheated.

How to use the index in practice?
1. Check the index once a day 🗓️
2. <30 — don’t panic. It's better to pick up assets on sale
3. >70 — take profits, be cautious with entries
4. Don’t trade on emotions — this is the trader's main enemy 😬

📌It may sound cliché, but it works 🙄

$ETH
Ethereum: 4 times more gas? Yes, this is not a joke.

Developers want to raise the gas limit to 150 million (currently ~36 million) — this is a key feature of the Fusaka hard fork, which is planned for the end of 2025 🚀

What this means:
More gas = more transactions in the block = higher network throughput ⚙️
But the load on clients will increase — bugs, lags, and other joys 🐛

EIP-9678 — it is proposing to test such parameters. Tim Beiko says: "unconventional, but not for the first time"

Also, the EOF (EVM Object Format) is in question.
Buterin suggested transitioning the EVM to RISC-V — an open processor architecture 🧠
Now the team is pondering: should we even continue to develop the old EVM?

By the way, in March, the Ethereum Foundation changed its leadership — now the focus is on UX and scaling L1 📱⚡

P.S. The Pectra upgrade is already coming out on May 7 — spring for Ethereum is really hot ☀️

🚀 SOL Strategies takes Solana 'for growth' for half a billion

💼 The Canadian public company SOL Strategies has signed a check for $500 million from ATW Partners. Formally - convertible bonds, informally - 'give us money, we will buy SOL and stake it, and then we will pay you interest in SOL ourselves'. ♻️✨

🔹 The first $20 million has already come out of the investor's pocket; the redemption deadline is May 1, 2025.
🔹 The remaining $480 million will be unpacked in tranches 'when the stars in the sky align into the Solana logo'. 🔮

💰 The trick of the deal: interest on the bonds is paid NOT in fiat, but in freshly staked SOL. This means that every dollar invested immediately generates new little Solanas and increases the company's validators' balance. The Möbius business loop in action. 🌀

👩‍💼 CEO Lia Wald has already called all this 'the largest financing mechanism in the Solana ecosystem' and modestly added that the structure is 'scalable to the heavens'. Where to go from there. 🌌

📈 The market applauded: SOL Strategies' shares jumped +23.5% according to Yahoo Finance.
😐 However, Solana itself only pretended to be a tough nut: weekly growth ~11%, current price $146.78 (-3.79% over 24 hours). Apparently, the coin decided to 'not show its hand' before the time. 🎭

📜 Breaking: "Crypto-Messiah" Paul Atkins has taken over the SEC.

🎩 Yesterday, April 23, the gentleman with a personal bag of $6 million in coins sat in the chair of the regulator's chief to... regulate coins. What a delight of self-service! 🙃

• Atkins led the SEC before the crisis and resigned shortly before the collapse. Later, he criticized the post-crisis reforms, considering them excessive.
• He blamed the U.S. government for the FTX collapse, claiming that "vague rules provoked chaos." Because of this, many believe that Atkins' overly lenient approach may provoke an increase in fraud.

The commission also needs to consider 72 applications for launching spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) based on altcoins. Atkins may expedite this process.

📌No one knows how it will all actually be 🤷‍♀️. But I think 🤔 the road will be traversed by those who walk it.

$TRUMP
🇺🇸✨ News from the world of 'serious investments':

🦅 Donald 'HODL' Trump is hosting a luxurious gala dinner for the TOP-220 holders of the meme coin $TRUMP . Date: May 22. Location: private golf club in DC (because where else? ⛳️).

💰 Want a seat at the table? Hold your tokens from April 23 to May 12 — the fatter the wallet, the higher the chance of serving Trump ketchup with steak.

🏆 The leaderboard is already shining on the project's website: 15 ultra-whales will receive a private reception + VIP tour of the White House (yes, that one 🏛️).

📈 Current price: $12.5 per $TRUMP . In one day +32.7%, in one week +59.5%.

So let's prepare tuxedos and polish our wallets 🫡🙃

📌 I would also prepare, but I'm not being allowed to leave the location yet 😏

🚨 Update on the 11th TGE on Binance 🚨

During the token event, the network lagged, and some gas fees were wasted. The exchange acknowledged the error and is preparing compensation.

What is already known
▫️ Compensation is in development. Binance will announce the exact mechanism and payment dates soon.
▫️ Transparent process. Each affected user will receive an official letter/notification — no 'manual' credits in silence.
▫️ Refund without a threshold. Compensation will be provided to all whose transactions were affected, regardless of the amount lost.

What is still not available
⛔ Payments have not yet started. If you see messages like 'I have already been refunded', that is a fake.
⛔ Exact dates. Binance promises to communicate them separately when the data verification is complete.

What to do now
1. Do not panic and do not send your private keys/seed to anyone who 'will help speed up the refund'.
2. Check only official Binance channels: blog, Twitter, Telegram announcement.
3. Wait for a push notification or email to the account-linked address.

🟡 Binance acknowledges the problem and is working to ensure that no one is left at a loss. Stay updated and protect your wallets.

Bitcoin at 93k — 🚀 Are we changing shoes in mid-air?

Well, Bitcoin has surprised us again. It broke $93,000 and acted like it hadn't fallen since March 📈
The market is euphoric, everyone is smiling as if they just emerged from negative positions and forgot how just a couple of weeks ago they were crying at $86,000.

Now the level of $91,500 suddenly became “strong support” — even though it was recently “unbreakable resistance.” The mood is like that of DOGE fans in 2021: perpetual growth, eternal hope 🧞‍♂️

Ethereum is barely breathing at $1640, XRP modestly testing $2.10, DOGE is alive again and happily jumping above 16 cents. SOL and SUI are rising because… well, because Bitcoin is rising — and that's enough, don't ask too many questions 🤷‍♂️

Institutionals are heating things up, ETFs are pouring in, the dollar is weakening — all factors have aligned, like in the textbook “How to Create FOMO in 3 Days” 📚
As long as technical analysis dances from $83,700 to $93,000 — the main thing is that the candles are green, not tears.

📌 So let's enjoy the moment, scroll through CoinMarketCap, and pretend that everything is going according to plan.

A, what's happening on the news front?🙄

Today's Bloomberg headlines added some spice to the economic agenda.
Trump announced a "significant" reduction in tariffs on Chinese goods, but it won't reach zero 🧂
The tone has softened, but the course is still tense.

Beijing is waiting for steps from the U.S. before sitting down at the negotiating table.
Meanwhile, fees for Chinese vessels in American ports are being discussed — but they have been postponed until October 2025 ⚓️

Markets are nervous, signals have been sent to Trump ✉️
The administration seems to be starting to feel pressure — from businesses, farmers, and global players.

The economic consequences have not yet fully manifested, but they could hit in months.
Trade and supply volumes remain high, but this is temporary.

In focus for the near future:
• trade data 📦
• sales 🛒
• growth and GDP 📊
• prices versus volumes — a sign of stagflation ⚠️

The season of geopolitical turbulence has opened — hold on to the handrails.
And remember: one awkward word, and the market does a backflip with a twist 🌀

Well, have we woken up — the market is green, and the mood feels like we got paid in USDT 💸
$SOL really put on a show: from lows to the moon without stopping, like it hit the gas.
Longs are flying, everyone suddenly remembered the word "bull run", and the news is again honey, butter, and mint gum.

But let's not forget — we've been led astray before 👄
2 weeks ago: “ETH < 1500, that's it, the end, give me a blanket and Binance”
Today: “Euphoria! ETH +100$, we are rich”

The most frustrating moment — $BTC is really pulling, and ETH…. 👀. Many entered at 2200-2500 and now what???
