💳 What’s up with Michael Saylor’s leverage?

Despite the buzz online, data shows that MicroStrategy’s current leverage is actually below its historical average.

📊 The leverage indicator — calculated as the ratio of loans and raised funds to the market value of held BTC — suggests the company is in a relatively safe position for now.

No signs of critical risk on the horizon 🔒

📉 Bitcoin ETFs Struggling with Inflows Since March 🚫

Bitcoin ETFs have seen no new inflows since late March, causing analysts at Ecoinometrics to question the narrative of Bitcoin "decoupling from stock indices."

This stagnation raises concerns about the strength of current support levels for Bitcoin. The lack of new investments might signal a weakening market sentiment or could indicate that institutional interest is cooling off, contrary to expectations of sustained growth.

The ongoing silence from Bitcoin ETFs is making many rethink the bullish outlook for the asset. 🚨 Is the crypto market losing momentum, or just taking a breather? Only time will tell! ⏳

🇺🇸🎮 Donald Trump is working on a Monopoly-style crypto video game focused on real estate, developed by longtime associate Bill Zanker.

Players will build digital cities and earn in-game cash—possibly powered by blockchain tech. 🏙💸

This adds to Trump’s growing crypto portfolio: memecoin, NFTs, a DeFi venture, Bitcoin mining, and more. 👀

Critics raise conflict-of-interest concerns, especially as Trump pushes pro-crypto policies. Still, Team Trump insists: "We believe in this." 🥴

📉 Is ETH the New Nokia? 👀

A chart making the rounds compares Ethereum's trajectory to Nokia's fall from tech glory: “Outdated tech, fading trends, bored investors.”

While it smells like classic FUD, the analogy is raising eyebrows — and questions. If Ethereum isn’t the future, then what is?

⏳ For now, ETH still leads the pack. But the market's message is clear: evolve or risk irrelevance.

🚨 ZKSync Hit by Exploit — $5M in $ZK Minted

Three days ago, someone minted 110M $ZK (~$5M) via a Gnosis Safe contract 💸
Since yesterday, those tokens started hitting the order books 👀

Turns out — a ZKSync team member’s wallet was hacked. 🥷 The attacker used it to mint unclaimed airdrop tokens from the airdrop contract.

Looks like ZKSync might be following in Mantra’s footsteps… 🫡

🧐 ETH at a Crucial Crossroad: $1,546 Support Level

🐋 Whales bought 822,440 ETH around $1,546, forming a major support zone.

📉 Meanwhile, ~368,000 ETH was sent to exchanges in the past month — potential sell pressure?

📈 If whales don’t dump below that level, a 17% upside could be in play, says trader Ali.

We’d love to see a pump... but then again, it’s ETH we’re talking about. 🤷

🇨🇳 China Is Dumping Crypto 📉

China has reportedly begun offloading seized crypto through private firms to refill state coffers, according to Cointelegraph. The move comes amid economic slowdown and trade tensions with the U.S. 🧐

💥 First the U.S. spooked the market — now China is adding sell pressure.

Fun fact: back in 2020, China seized 200K BTC and 830K ETH from PlusToken scammers. Analysts say most of it has already been sold 🤯

Crypto bros dreamed of selling to governments… instead, governments are dumping on them 😅

🇺🇸 U.S. Targets China with Massive Tariff Hike

The White House is considering raising tariffs on Chinese goods up to 245% 😳

📍 Washington's goals: — Isolate China from 70 countries — Block sanctions evasion via third parties — Limit overseas expansion of Chinese companies

🧨 A crazy geopolitical move that could escalate global trade tensions and reshape international markets.

🥶 Coinbase Hints at a New Crypto Winter

According to Coinbase’s April report, the crypto market may be entering a “crypto winter” phase:

🔻 Altcoin market cap has dropped 41% since March — from $1.6T to $950B.

💸 Venture funding in crypto is down 50–60% compared to 2021–2022 highs.

📉 Investor interest is cooling fast, mirroring early signs of past bear cycles.

🔮 Potential recovery? Not expected before Q3 2025.

🏆 Gold Outshines Stocks in 2025

Investors are ditching U.S. stocks and rushing into gold, with over $80B inflows since the start of 2025 — 2x the previous record set in 2020. 🚀

📈 Gold prices have surged +22% YTD, outperforming all major asset classes.

💥 The metal has hit 52 all-time highs in the past year — its strongest run in over a decade.

🌐 Why the rush? Mounting market uncertainty and global trade tensions are pushing capital toward this classic safe haven.

Bitcoin dominance hits 64% — highest in 5 years 🚀

BTC now controls 64% of the total crypto market cap, a level we haven't seen since 2019.

That's nearly 2/3 of all crypto money flowing into Bitcoin — clear signal of risk-off behavior in the market.

📉 Altseason? Still waiting by the door...

📊 Stablecoins > Visa

For the first time ever, stablecoins moved more dollar value in 2024 than Visa. Yep, that actually happened.

This marks a major shift: blockchain-based money is no longer niche — it's competing (and winning) against traditional giants.

🔗 DeFi rails > legacy rails? We might be watching it happen in real time.

📈 Bitcoin’s Realized Cap Hits All-Time High – But Momentum Slows

BTC’s realized capitalization just hit a record $872B — showing how much actual capital flowed into the network.

However, according to Glassnode, monthly growth has slowed to just +0.9%.

💡 That means capital is still flowing in, but investor risk appetite is cooling off.

Bullish vibes with a side of caution 🧠📉

💰 Public Bitcoin miners sold over 40% of their mined BTC in March — the largest sell-off since October 2024.

According to MinerMag, the move came as a response to rising economic pressure: higher energy prices, increasing hardware costs, and tighter margins. ⚡️💸

Despite the bull market, even miners are feeling the heat — and cashing in to stay afloat.

😐 JPMorgan: “Bitcoin failed to attract safe-haven demand.”

While gold ETFs saw a whopping $21.1B inflow in Q1 2025, Bitcoin is facing three straight months of ETF outflows and declining futures interest.

📉 BTC’s “digital gold” narrative is under pressure, analysts say — meanwhile, actual gold is thriving amid macro uncertainty, gaining support from both ETF and futures investors. 👀
