Bernstein named the factors for Bitcoin's rise to $1 million
Possible short-term correlations of Bitcoin with gold and Nasdaq indices are only misleading. This is reported by The Block, citing a report from Bernstein.

Analysts from the investment company led by Gautam Chhugani consider the following indicators to be more accurate:

declining retail sales;
increasing corporate accumulation races;
recovery of fund inflows into exchange-traded funds.
All these factors lead to a "reduction in the supply" of digital gold, which is expected to reach new highs, experts believe.

Last week, Cantor Fitzgerald, together with SoftBank, Tether, and Bitfinex, launched a Bitcoin accumulation-focused investment firm, Twenty One Capital. The initial volume of its reserves is expected to be 42,000 BTC. In addition to investments from project participants, the structure plans to raise $385 million through convertible bonds and $200 million by selling shares ahead of going public.
Bitcoin balances on exchanges have decreased to 13% of total issuance from 16% at the end of 2023. However, considering the price increase during this period in dollar terms, the stocks of digital gold on trading platforms have even increased, Bernstein acknowledged.

What is the reason for the increase

The well-known crypto detective ZachXBT linked the increase of Monero to a suspicious transaction amounting to about 3520 BTC ($330 million), made on Sunday. According to him, the funds were stolen and quickly converted into Monero through several cryptocurrency exchanges. Thus, the increase is explained by low liquidity, which allows large transactions to significantly impact the price.

Analysts also noted that there are less costly ways to exchange bitcoins for Monero that the owner could have used if the transactions were not thefts.

"For an ordinary person, such purchases are unprofitable," noted ZachXBT, adding that participants in the exchange of bitcoins for Monero would lose seven-figure sums just on fees.

The new head of the SEC USA advocates for new cryptocurrency regulation rules
The head of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), who recently took office, Paul Atkins, has called for a comprehensive review of the agency's regulatory framework in the field of cryptocurrencies. He stated that outdated rules and the department's strict policies have stifled innovation for many years.

Speaking at the third roundtable of the SEC's cryptocurrency working group, Atkins said that the current regulatory environment "urgently needs attention".
Atkins also criticized the actions of his predecessor Gary Gensler, under whose leadership the agency adhered to an aggressive approach of "regulation by enforcement".

The chairman stated that his main priorities as the 34th head of the agency will be to facilitate capital formation, support fair and orderly markets, and protect investors. Additionally, he will do everything possible to ensure that the U.S. remains "the best and safest place for investment and entrepreneurship".

Foreign investors withdrew $63 billion from US stocks – Goldman
According to analysts at Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS), since the beginning of March, foreign investors have sold American stocks worth $63 billion. Data on high-frequency fund flows show that the sales were initiated by European investors, while other regions continued to buy American stocks.

"This dynamic poses a significant risk to stock valuations, as foreign investors entered 2025 with a record share of ownership of US stocks at 18%,” said a note to clients from the portfolio strategy group led by Daniel Chavez.

Since 1980, there have been 10 other instances of large sales of stocks by foreign investors. On average, during these sales, 0.6% of the total market value of the US was sold, which is equivalent to approximately $300 billion today.

Goldman claims that the latest episode of overseas sales was shorter and less intense than the average over the past few decades. In the past, American stocks could withstand outflows of foreign investment, but in 7 out of 10 cases, they rose, with the exceptions being 1987, 1990, and 2022.#TrumpVsPowell

Not by crypto alone... for general development
In 1543, while on his deathbed, Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus published his theory that the Sun is a stationary body at the center of the Solar System, around which the planets revolve.

Before the Copernican system was introduced, astronomers believed that the Earth was at the center of the Universe.

Former CEO of the cryptocurrency exchange FTX, Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF), has been transferred to a prison in Los Angeles. FCI Terminal Island is considered a low-security correctional facility.

Decrypt noted that Terminal Island prison is located in the harbor of the San Pedro area — about a 45-minute drive from downtown Los Angeles and houses over 900 inmates.

It is known that Sam Bankman-Fried will have access to a law library and can spend up to $360 monthly at the prison store. The prison also offers social and wellness programs, as well as internships in welding, plumbing, furniture making, culinary arts, and baking, journalists noted. However, according to one inmate, the level of medical and healthcare at Terminal Island is extremely low.

Goldman Sachs прогнозує подальше падіння ослабленого долара
Долар США, вже ослаблений невизначеністю щодо тарифів та побоюваннями рецесії, ймовірно, продовжить зниження, згідно з прогнозом головного економіста Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS ) Яна Хаціуса.
Долар упав більш ніж на 4,5% у квітні, що стало найбільшим місячним падінням з кінця 2022 року. Це призвело до спекуляцій про кризу довіри до провідної світової резервної валюти.

Цього року долар упав на 8% по відношенню до кошика інших основних валют.

За оцінками МВФ, інвестори за межами США володіють активами США приблизно на 22 трлн доларів, що, на думку Хаціуса, може становити третину їхніх сукупних портфелів. Половина цієї суми, як вважають, перебуває в акціях, які часто не хеджуються від валютних коливань.

Circle to launch a cross-border payment network based on stablecoins.

Circle Internet Group Inc., the provider of the world's second-largest stablecoin, plans to launch a payment network that will facilitate cross-border transactions using stablecoins.

The proposed network is being developed to connect financial institutions and technology companies. This includes payment service providers, digital wallet companies, and banking application providers. The goal is to enable real-time settlements for cross-border payments.

The launch of the Circle Payments Network was first reported by Coindesk. Circle's plans underscore a growing trend among both cryptocurrency and traditional financial companies to use stablecoins for faster and more cost-effective money transfers.

Currently, cross-border payments typically rely on the correspondent banking system. This system often leads to delays in settlements and additional costs due to the involvement of intermediaries. The new Circle network aims to address these issues by leveraging the advantages of stablecoins.

It's very disappointing to see someone in pain and being told to endure and give up their kidney while trusting and signing contracts and partnerships.

Matrixport believes that the start of an altcoin season is unlikely in the short term.

Experts from the analytical company Matrixport consider the beginning of an altcoin season to be unlikely in the short term. According to them, for altcoins to begin a sustainable rise, the market needs to see investments backed by real usage or a sharp increase in liquidity.
They added that based on current indicators, a significant increase in liquidity is not expected in the near future. Moreover, according to experts, a combination of three main sources of liquidity is needed for Bitcoin's growth, namely:

- favorable Fed policy or interest rate cuts;

- microliquidity, such as an increase in the volume of stablecoins or the use of leverage;

- macroliquidity, including new stimulus in the form of support for households or other measures.

Life Found Beyond Earth

The James Webb Telescope detected substances in the atmosphere of the exoplanet K2-18b that are produced only by living organisms on Earth—dimethyl sulfide and dimethyl disulfide.

Their concentration turned out to be so high that scientists are seriously saying: the planet "teems with life." K2-18b is referred to as a "Super Earth"—it is 2.5 times larger than ours and is located 124 light years away.
