Who has the most Bitcoin?
Satoshi Nakamoto
Satoshi Nakamoto (~1.1 million BTC)

It's unsurprising that the pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto, remains the largest holder of the cryptocurrency. It's estimated they hold an astonishing fortune of around 1.1 million BTC.

Where is Satoshi Nakamoto now?

Did Satoshi Nakamoto Disappear? Because Satoshi chose to be anonymous, it cannot be determined whether the person or group using the name has disappeared. As of October 2024, the true identity or identities of Sataoshi Nakamoto are unknown.

What will happen if Satoshi Nakamoto is revealed?
Regulatory Crackdowns: The revelation of Satoshi's identity might accelerate global regulatory efforts around cryptocurrencies. Governments could use the event as an opportunity to justify stricter regulations on Bitcoin and other digital currencies, potentially creating more barriers for innovation and adoption.6 Oct 2024

Is Bitcoin expected to fall again?
While short-term forecasts still expect Bitcoin's price to stay above $70,000 in 2025, some analysts believe it could fall significantly in the coming years. Whether a decline below $20,000 is realistic depends on multiple factors, including global economic conditions, regulatory developments and market confidence

Why is Bitcoin going down?
A significant driver of Bitcoin's decline appears to be macroeconomic uncertainty, particularly surrounding US trade tariffs. President Donald Trump's administration has announced tariffs set to begin on April 2, 2025, targeting imports from Canada, Mexico, and China.31 M

The biggest errors in today's society are in disrespect for power. In my opinion this is just bullying. We should consider how far we've come.

A stablecoin is a type of cryptocurrency where the value of the digital asset is supposed to be pegged to a reference asset, which is either fiat money, exchange-traded commodities (such as precious metals or industrial metals), or another cryptocurrency.[1] In theory, 1:1 backing by a reference asset could make a stablecoin value track the value of the peg and not be subject to the radical changes in value common in the market for many digital assets.[2] In practice, stablecoin issuers have yet to be proven to maintain adequate reserves to support a stable value, and there have been a number of failures with investors losing the entirety of the (fiat currency) value of their holdings.

Africa’s largest payments gateway, Onafriq, joins forces with Circle, the USDC stablecoin issuer, to transform cross-border transactions, slash fees, and boost financial inclusion.

Onafriq, Africa’s leading payments gateway, and Circle, the global leader in stablecoins and issuer of USDC, have announced a strategic partnership to revolutionize cross-border payments and digital financial services. This collaboration will integrate blockchain technology to enhance Onafriq’s network, positioning it at the forefront of Africa’s digital payments revolution.



Dare Okoudjou, Onafriq Founder & CEO, stated:“Our  partnership with Circle reinforces Onafriq’s commitment to removing complexity from cross-border payments. By integrating USDC, we aim to simplify transactions, reduce costs, and strengthen trust. We’re not just envisioning the future of payments—we’re actively building it.”

XRP and Dogecoin ETF Decisions Pushed to June as SEC Reviews 70 Crypto Proposals

Wednesday, 30/04/2025 | 11:04 GMT by Tareq Sikder

SEC delays XRP and Dogecoin ETF decision to June 17, with final ruling possibly in October.

Investor demand for altcoin ETFs remains low compared to Bitcoin and Ether funds.

Trending

US SEC

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has postponed its decision on two proposed cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that would provide exposure to XRP and Dogecoin. The agency extended its review period until June 17, 2025, according to filings published yesterday (Tuesday).

The delays apply to two separate requests submitted in March. Cboe BZX Exchange filed to list Franklin Templeton’s spot XRP ETF, while NYSE Arca proposed listing Bitwise’s Dogecoin ETF. Both applications are now part of a broader evaluation process under standard SEC timelines, Cointelegraph reported.

XRP, Dogecoin ETF Decision Delayed

A third filing submitted on the same day came from Nasdaq, which requested approval to list a 21Shares Dogecoin ETF. All three proposals reflect rising interest from exchanges in altcoin-based investment products.

According ETF analysts the SEC could take until around October 18, 2025, to reach a final decision on these and other crypto ETPs. That timeline is based on standard procedural deadlines and current review activity.

Highlights: Trump marks his first 100 days in office with a rally in Michigan and ABC interview

To the editor: Republicans, wake up! The Times article on the first 100 days of Trump’s second administration quotes an earlier comment from him on election control: “... The states are just an agent of the federal government.” This comment was made in front of the National Republican Congressional Committee this year. This is certainly not a Republican idea. At least one of those weakling Republican representatives should have stood and protested right there and then.

Arizona lawmakers approve bills to Invest state assets in Bitcoin and NFTs

Arizona has moved a step closer to becoming the first U.S. state to establish a Bitcoin reserve. Lawmakers in the House of Representatives on Monday approved Senate Bill 1025 and Senate Bill 1373, clearing the way for a potential 10% allocation of treasury and pension funds into Bitcoin and other digital assets.

Some of the best technical analysts are continuously hinting at something grand to happen this year with the great #Bitcoin❗


It has been a turbulent year for bitcoin, with the leading cryptocurrency soaring to an all-time peak of $109,356 before retreating to a trough of $74,434. Amid volatile price swings and persistent macroeconomic unease, optimism for bitcoin’s trajectory in 2025 remains notably strong.

$250K Bitcoin? 8 Predictions Reveal a Wild Road Ahead for Crypto

Consider, for a moment, the role of U.S. President Donald Trump — a figure who has proven to be a double-edged sword for crypto markets. On the one hand, his creation of the strategic bitcoin reserve (SBR) and the emergence of what is widely regarded as the most crypto-friendly administration to date have provided a considerable lift to sentiment. On the other hand, Trump’s sweeping tariffs have sown economic doubt, weighing heavily across financial sectors, including digital assets.

Nevertheless, a substantial number of analysts maintain a bullish stance on BTC’s future, particularly as attention shifts to the latter half of the year. The editorial below offers an exploration of several prominent price forecasts for 2025.

#TrumptaxCuts
President Trump floated a new income tax cut on Sunday as a way to mitigate the impact of his sweeping tariffs, which polls show Americans increasingly believe will lead to higher prices.

“When Tariffs cut in, many people’s Income Taxes will be substantially reduced, maybe even completely eliminated,” Trump wrote in a post on his Truth Social platform on Sunday.

“Focus will be on people making less than $200,000 a year,” he continued.

Trump defended the strategy behind his steep tariffs in his post, maintaining “massive numbers of jobs are already being created, with new plants and factories currently being built or planned. It will be a BONANZA FOR AMERICA!!! THE EXTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE IS HAPPENING!!!”

The comments echo previous suggestions from the president about potentially getting rid of federal income tax altogether and replacing it with tariffs or other levies. Some economists have raised questions about the feasibility of generating sufficient revenue through tariffs.

XRP ETFs launch this week, but they’re not the ones traders are waiting on
ProShares will launch three leveraged and inverse XRP ETFs this week.
$XRP

Futures-based XRP ETFs are moving forward while spot funds are still pending.

XRP's price surged 7% following the news.

Three XRP exchange-traded funds will hit the market this week, but they aren’t the ones traders are banking on to unleash a wave of trades.

ProShares will launch the ProShares Ultra XRP ETF, ProShares UltraShort XRP ETF, and ProShares Short XRP ETF on Wednesday after filing an update with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

“This is not a spot XRP ETF,” Nate Geraci, president of ETFStore, tweeted. “It’s several leveraged and inverse ETFs obtaining XRP exposure via derivatives.”

While XRP’s price popped more than 7% over the past 24 hours following the news, traders await news about whether or not the SEC will approve a wave of spot XRP ETFs that have flooded the agency this year, and potentially unleash a $8 billion bonanza.

Ripple’s XRP soars over 40% as regulatory headwinds let up 

XRP has surged 40% in the last 24 hours boosted by positive regulatory news.

DOMINIKA ZARZYCKA—SOPA IMAGES/LIGHTROCKET/GETTY IMAGES

Ripple’s XRP has become the third-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, overtaking popular tokens like Solana, USDT, and Binance Coin, as a new era of crypto-friendly policy begins to take shape in Washington, D.C.

On Monday, XRP had climbed an eye-popping 40% in 24 hours, reaching $2.80 for the first time in seven years. The coin has attracted over $120 billion in new investment, and reached a market cap of $156 billion since Donald Trump and a host of other crypto-friendly candidates won election on Nov. 5.

The surge in XRP’s price comes amid signs that the legal pressure that has been bearing down on Ripple for years is about to let up. Most notably, Securities and Exchange Commission chair Gary Gensler—who has been the crypto industry’s prime antagonist—announced his resignation, and pundits are predicting the agency is likely to drop a number of lawsuits as Trump prepares to take office.
