🧮 The capitalization of Bitcoin today is 2 times higher than the total capitalization of the rest of the crypto market.  

CZ: The inability to hold BTC often comes from a lack of understanding of tech, finance, and the world.

"If you only bought bitcoin because someone else said so, your conviction to panic hold will be low."

📊 The United States and China have agreed to temporarily reduce duties.

China will reduce duties on goods from the United States to 10% from 125% for 90 days.

The United States will reduce duties on Chinese goods from 145% to 30%.

I assume that the market will not react in any way (except with local fluctuations), because the fall due to duties was a manipulative component and a game of fear. Switching to the dollar with an increase in duties is a fictional economy and has nothing to do with sober reality, respectively, money will not flow into the market with a reverse step.

I may be wrong, but I doubt that we will see an ATH on Bitcoin in the near future. I still think that a mild correction is the most likely scenario.      

🔔 The founder of CryptoQuant, Ki Yang Joo, stated that in the future “dark stablecoins” may appear — censorship-resistant stablecoins beyond the control of financial regulators.

He identified two possible scenarios.:

1. Algorithmic stables without centralized control.
2. Stables issued by countries that ignore financial censorship.

Previously, USDT was considered such an asset. But if Tether refuses to comply with US regulators with the possible return of Trump, it may again be perceived as a "dark stable."

Tether's goal is to reach a trillion–dollar capitalization

New York Mayor Eric Adams recalled how he was ridiculed for his decision to receive a salary in cryptocurrency.

Now, amid the growth of the market, he said with a grin: "And now who's laughing?"

But he didn't stop there — Adams confirmed that he still intends to make New York a global crypto capital. He invited blockchain companies to develop business in the metropolis and announced the first NYC Crypto Summit, which will be held on May 20.


I was the first mayor in the United States to receive a salary in cryptocurrency. And I will make New York the crypto capital of the world.
— he emphasized.

👀 Cardano is going to launch a private stablecoin

Charles Hoskinson said that he plans to launch a stablecoin for those who do not need their transactions to be tracked.

At the same time, he noted that regulators should still have access to the data in case of suspicion of illegal actions.

Truth Social has denied rumors about a new memcoin.

Donald Trump Jr. said that the project has nothing to do with them, and the information is fake.

Its author was Ran Neuner, who previously claimed that the launch of the token would take place in the next 72 hours.

The new head of the SEC, Paul Atkins, decided not to drag the crypt into the courts, but finally to talk like adults.

Now the priority is clear rules.: how to issue tokens, where to store them, and who can trade them.

He compared tokenization to the transition from vinyl to digital. Considering how SEC used to "play the gramophone," progress is obvious.
