Jones argues Bitcoin’s capped supply makes it a stronger inflation hedge than gold, especially during periods of heavy monetary stimulus.

Despite crypto optimism, he warns equities look stretched, with weak long-term returns and broader economic risks if markets fall. Investor Paul Tudor Jones has reinforced his bullish stance on Bitcoin, describing it as the most effective safeguard against inflation due to its strictly limited supply. The billionaire argued that, unlike gold, Bitcoin’s issuance is permanently capped, making it structurally more scarce…

Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan said Bitcoin’s 20% rebound from February lows was driven largely by Strategy, ETF issuers and long-term holders. Hougan said Strategy added US$7.2 billion (AU$10.37 billion) of Bitcoin over eight weeks, supported by STRC issuance. Strategy’s April 27 filing showed 818,334 BTC holdings after a 3,273 BTC purchase funded by common-stock ATM proceeds. Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan said Strategy’s high-yield STRC preferred stock could keep fuelling Bitcoin’s rally after the company added US$7.2 billion (AU$10.37 billion) of BTC in eight weeks, though its latest buy used common-stock proceeds. Hougan wrote that Bitcoin (BTC) had risen roughly 20%…

Make CryptoSlate preferred on Washington is turning stablecoins into regulated payment instruments while trying to keep issuer-paid yield away from holders. That combination changesthe economics of digital dollars and puts the value of user balances up for grabs across the intermediary stack.The GENIUS Act bars permitted payment stablecoin issuers and foreign payment stablecoin issuers from paying holders any form of interest or yield solely for holding, using, or retaining a payment stablecoin.The FDIC’s April 7 proposal would turn parts of that law into operating standards for FDIC-supervised issuers, including reserves, redemption, capital, risk management, custody, pass-through insurance, and tokenized-deposit treatment.That…

If Treasuries choose a direction before that assumption is tested, the bond market could drive Bitcoin’s next move independently of any crypto-specific catalyst.The 10-year yield spent Apr. 1 through Apr. 24 inside a band of…

Make CryptoSlate preferred on Cathie Wood built ARK Invest’s Bitcoin case on the idea that Bitcoin would become a global monetary layer that is programmable, borderless, resistant to inflation, and eventually dominant in payments.The latest version of that argument concedes that stablecoins got there first on the payments side.In a recent interview with The Rollup, the ARK CEO said stablecoins have taken over part of the role that ARK once expected Bitcoin to fill in emerging-market payments. At the same time, ETF-era institutions appear to be averaging down during drawdowns, softening the boom-bust severity that defined prior cycles. Related ReadingCathie…

The fork can create a new asset, new confusion, and new operational decisions, while BTC balances remain governed by Bitcoin software, Bitcoin consensus, and…
