🏦 The US banking giant JPMorgan is launching crypto-backed loans, starting with BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) as collateral - Bloomberg
🔒 Clients — from retail to HNWIs — will soon be able to borrow against crypto-linked assets, with the bank planning to expand the collateral list over time.
📊 Crypto will also be factored into clients’ liquidity profiles, alongside stocks, cars, and art.
🧊 Despite CEO Jamie Dimon’s ongoing crypto skepticism (calling BTC a “criminal tool”), the bank is moving forward — offering services in response to client demand, not personal opinion.
🔄 A big signal of TradFi embracing crypto, no matter what their CEOs say publicly.

💰🇬🇧 UK-based gold mining company Bluebird Mining is shifting from Gold to Bitcoin as a store of value
The firm announced plans to sell part of its gold reserves and convert them into BTC, citing Bitcoin’s growing popularity and its rising role as “digital gold.” 🧐
🐦 Bluebird claims gold’s dominance as a hedge asset is under threat, and this move marks a strategic step toward the digitalization of value storage.

📈 CryptoQuant: Hash Ribbon Flashes Buy Signal!
The Hash Ribbon indicator — which tracks miner activity via 30/60-day Hash Rate averages — has signaled the end of miner capitulation for the first time since the recent halving. 👀
This comes as the Hash Rate hits a new ATH of 638 EH/s, with miners upgrading equipment and resuming operations, reducing their need to sell BTC. 🔥
Historically, this signal has preceded strong upward price movements, as selling pressure from miners eases. A bullish sign for Bitcoin! 🚀

🔥 Elon vs. Trump: Twitter War Escalates
Elon Musk just accused Donald Trump of pedophilia, claiming he’s mentioned in the sealed Epstein files 😮
Trump hit back saying he’d win elections without Elon’s help — Musk insists his support was crucial.
Meanwhile:
📉 Tesla stock: -14.46%
📉 Trump Media: -7.54%
📉 BTC: $101K
Musk didn’t stop there — he’s now threatening to halt SpaceX’s Dragon missions for NASA and is backing calls for Trump’s impeachment.
Some say it’s chaos. Others — market manipulation. But who knows? Maybe in two days they’ll hug it out and say “it was all a misunderstanding.” 🤷♂️
Not financial advice. Just late-night drama too wild to ignore.

The Musk vs. Trump clash continues to affect the crypto market 📊
Amid their feud, crypto market cap dropped by ~3%, and the Fear & Greed Index slid to 45, entering the Fear zone 📉
Bitcoin briefly dipped near $100K, and has since recovered to $103K, but so far the bounce looks more like a pullback, not a full trend reversal.
Market remains fragile — watch sentiment closely 👀

📉 Arthur Hayes: The ICO mania of 2017 is evolving into an IPO frenzy for 2025–2027.
Referencing Circle’s recent IPO, Hayes warns this is just the beginning. He predicts a massive, overhyped crypto IPO — similar to EOS in 2017 — will suck in billions of fiat… and crash spectacularly on day one. 🤔
🔙 Reminder: EOS raised $4.2B in its ICO, only to face centralization issues and tech failures that crushed its token price by over 80% by 2019.
Now rebranded as Vaulta, the project aims to bury its troubled past by shifting toward Web3 banking and merging DeFi with TradFi. 👀
Hayes’ message: Don’t let IPO hype blind you — history might be repeating itself.

📈 Trump to Pump? 😁
Trump Media is reportedly planning to raise a whopping $12B — and rumor has it, part of the funds could be used to buy Bitcoin. 🤑
Following yesterday’s drama, BTC has already bounced back above $104K — and if this Trump-fueled liquidity wave hits, we might be in for another wild ride. 🌊

🇯🇵 Metaplanet plans to raise $5.3B through a record-breaking issuance of 555M shares via warrants to buy Bitcoin
🚀 96% of the funds will go toward BTC, with the goal of accumulating 210,000 BTC (~1% of total supply) by 2027.
The move is a hedge against Japan’s negative interest rates and yen devaluation. This is Japan’s largest-ever warrant issuance — and the first with floating strike prices. 🔥
Metaplanet already holds 8,888 BTC (~$920M), with an average entry price of ~$108K. Its stock ($3350 TSE) has surged 5,000% over the past year — a wild comeback after a decade-long slump.📈

🚀 Bitcoin kicks off the week above $105K
Meanwhile, spot Ethereum ETFs are on fire — seeing 15 straight days of inflows totaling $837M. 💰
In contrast, Bitcoin ETFs saw a weekly outflow of $128.81M as investors remain uncertain. The spotlight seems to be shifting towards ETH — is a new trend forming? 👀

💰 Paolo Ardoino boasts: If Tether went public today, it would be worth around $515B, according to Artemis analysts. 🧐
That would make it the 19th most valuable company in the world — ahead of giants like Oracle, Costco, and Coca-Cola. 💪 Stablecoins are no joke anymore.

Paolo Ardoino shared a snapshot from Bolivian supermarkets where prices are listed in USDT — not fiat 🙀
A powerful sign of stablecoins going mainstream and fiat losing ground in real-world use cases. 🤔
The rise of digital dollars is no longer theoretical — it’s on the shelves.
