10 years ago, a meme-based cryptocurrency known as dogecoin was introduced to the world. at the time, many people viewed it as a joke or a fad that wouldn’t last long in the ever-evolving world of digital currencies. fast forward to today, and not only has dogecoin stood the test of time, but it’s also thriving and gaining more traction than ever before. one of the reasons for this enduring popularity is its strong community backing. the dogecoin community has been instrumental in pushing for its adoption across various platforms. from tiktok campaigns to reddit posts urging users to buy into doge shoots its value up 857% from january 2021 until april! recently elon musk made headlines when he specifically requested his employees at tesla pay them their quarterly bonuses with doge instead of fiat cash?! while some say this move was planned all along to increase demand &market cap others are excited transactions on dogechain will be accepted soon bringing prices higher. a major factor driving growth? its lightning-fast processing times compared other cryptos like ethereum which takes forever confirm each block transaction! that means customers can conduct fast premium service payments without getting ripped off by miners’ fees! plus low inflation rate keeps supply decrease rate lower than bitcoin leading more investors flocking towards us remaining steady partners throughout these past nights days…and maybe months between rotting riches altogether!) but hey.. are we done here? makes sense because my fingers too tired typing “just keep buying” over&over 😏💪🏽😂👀 🔥🚀🔋 💎🙌🏽 ⛸️🚢🔥😱

"Ongoing global economic uncertainty and persistently high interest rates in the U.S. may act as headwinds" for crypto, an analyst told Decrypt. Top cryptocurrencies experienced a pullback on Thursday, amid signs investors are taking profits off the table after a recent rally. Bitcoin touched lows of $101,500 at one point, indicating a return to all-time highs might not be as imminent as some bulls hoped. Sell-offs were more pronounced among major altcoins. Ethereum has fallen by 3% over the past 24 hours—with XRP, Solana and Dogecoin all shedding about 5%. Risk appetite also appears to be cooling in the stock market too, with the Federal Reserve set to cut interest rates less frequently in 2025 than first thought.BRN's lead research analyst Valentin Fournier argues healthy inflows into BTC and ETH ETFs "provides a solid foundation for long-term support." Describing Thursday's declines as a "modest pullback," he wrote: "While this appears to be a healthy correction, altcoins, after leading the rally, are showing more volatility. "We believe Bitcoin's $100k level will serve as a critical support zone for an extended accumulation phase," Fournier wrote. YouHodler's chief of markets Ruslan Lienkha told Decrypt that upward momentum is moderating now that tariff negotiations have concluded, with short-term traders deciding to lock in profits across the equity markets."This shift in sentiment has spilled over into riskier assets, including Bitcoin. As a result, the current pullback appears to be a correction within a broader medium-term uptrend," he added. Going forward, Lienkha believes "ongoing global economic uncertainty and persistently high interest rates in the U.S. may act as headwinds" for crypto, and could limit upside potential. Newhedge measures Bitcoin's correlation with the S&P 500 on a scale of -1 to 1. While -1 indicates there's no connection between these markets, a score closer to 1 suggests they rise and fall in tandem with one another. With a current reading of 0.86, continued strength for BTC may hinge upon how things unfold on Wall Street.

A1 Abraaj Restaurants Group has become the first publicly traded company in the Middle East to adopt bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset, signaling a major shift in regional finance. Bahrain’s A1 Abraaj Embraces Bitcoin for Crypto Treasury In a regional first, Bahrain-based A1 Abraaj Restaurants Group (Bahrain Bourse: ABRAAJ) has officially adopted bitcoin as its primary treasury reserve asset. The move positions A1 Abraaj as the Middle East’s first publicly traded company to integrate BTC into its corporate treasury, joining global pioneers like Strategy and Metaplanet. According to the company’s announcement on X, A1 Abraaj disclosed an initial acquisition of 5 BTC and announced plans to scale its BTC holdings significantly. A1 Abraaj, which reported $12.5 million in EBITDA for 2024, aims to offer countries in the Middle East and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) access to bitcoin, reflecting growing institutional demand and digital asset adoption. “Our initiative towards becoming a bitcoin treasury company reflects our forward-thinking approach and dedication to maximizing shareholder value,” said Abdulla Isa, Chairman of the bitcoin treasury committee of A1 Abraaj Restaurants Group. Partnering with IOX Capital, a U.S.-based firm known for advising bitcoin treasury companies, A1 Abraaj intends to raise additional capital to expand its BTC portfolio. The company has a dedicated bitcoin committee to manage governance, risk, and custody protocols for its digital holdings. “I’d like to congratulate A1 Abraaj for adopting bitcoin at the corporate treasury level, finally enabling anyone in the GCC with a brokerage account to gain bitcoin exposure,” said Hans Thomas, CEO of IOX Capital. This strategic pivot highlights A1 Abraaj’s commitment to innovation and financial diversification, aligning itself with emerging global trends while contributing to Bahrain’s growing digital economy.

JPMorgan sees bitcoin dominating gold in 2025 as surging ETF inflows, corporate adoption, and state-level crypto reserves ignite a powerful wave of institutional momentum. JPMorgan Spots a Massive Rotation—Bitcoin Gaining, Gold Draining Global investment bank JPMorgan expects bitcoin to significantly outperform gold through the remainder of 2025, driven by a wave of crypto-specific catalysts that are reshaping investment flows. Analysts led by managing director Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou outlined this bullish view in a note published Wednesday and shared with The Block. “Between mid-February and mid-April, gold was rising at the expense of bitcoin, while of the past three weeks we have been observing the opposite, i.e. bitcoin rising at the expense of gold,” they wrote. Anticipating that this shift will continue, JPMorgan stated: This view is underpinned by recent market dynamics and structural changes that favor BTC. Since April 22, gold has dropped nearly 8%, pressured by waning expectations for aggressive Fed rate cuts and rising equity markets, leading to substantial outflows from gold exchange-traded funds (ETFs) like SPDR Gold Trust. Meanwhile, bitcoin has surged substantially, topping $100,000 for the first time in months, fueled by significant inflows into spot bitcoin ETFs over three weeks. Futures markets reflect the same trend, with shrinking gold positions and rising bitcoin exposure, signaling a broader investor pivot toward digital assets. JPMorgan attributes bitcoin’s rising momentum to more than just gold’s decline, citing increased adoption by corporations and governments. An expanding group of companies is acquiring bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset. Microstrategy (Nasdaq: MSTR), now rebranded as Strategy, continues to grow its bitcoin holdings aggressively. Japan’s Metaplanet has also added bitcoin to its corporate treasury. On the public sector front, U.S. states are taking steps that could institutionalize bitcoin within government financial systems. New Hampshire passed a law allowing up to 5% of state reserves to be held in bitcoin and gold, marking a historic move toward crypto in public finance. Arizona is creating a digital asset reserve using staking rewards and airdrops, avoiding taxpayer funding. These initiatives reflect a growing trend among U.S. states to institutionalize digital assets responsibly. The JPMorgan team highlighted this potential, stating: Institutionalization of crypto markets is accelerating through major acquisitions and regulatory wins aimed at strengthening infrastructure and credibility. In recent developments, Coinbase is buying Deribit for $2.9B to lead in crypto derivatives, while Kraken’s $1.5B acquisition of Ninjatrader deepens its futures exposure. Gemini secured EU-wide derivatives licensing, Robinhood acquired Wonderfi for $179M to expand in Canada, and Ripple is integrating traditional finance with crypto via its $1.25B purchase of credit network Hidden Road. These moves are primed to attract a fresh wave of institutional capital into bitcoin and broader crypto markets.
