Crypto Market Pulse👀

• Markets are ripping higher this morning on a series of major macro developments. Most notably, China has officially confirmed it will begin trade negotiations with the U.S., setting a positive tone globally. Just hours later, China’s central bank cut key rates and injected 1 trillion yuan into the system — a bold move seen as both economic stimulus and negotiation leverage👀

• We remain extremely bullish on Ethereum — despite sentiment lagging behind — especially as it leads the tokenization race with $6.5B in RWA TVL🧠

Weekly Update👀

1. Market Overview

The crypto market is holding well, even as broader macroeconomic signals flash red. This week, the U.S. reported a surprise GDP contraction of -0.3% for Q1 2025 — a sharp miss versus the +0.3% growth expected. As a result, recession odds surged to 74%, intensifying expectations of monetary easing and rate cuts in the coming quarters.

Bitcoin showed remarkable resilience while Ethereum is gaining momentum, with ETF flows turning increasingly positive and on-chain accumulation strengthening. Both $BTC and $ETH are seeing continuous inflows from institutional vehicles, with major players not just holding — but announcing long-term, aggressive accumulation strategies💸

This week also brought bold developments in the public markets:

• The Blockchain Group revealed a 10-year plan to acquire 260,000 BTC, worth approximately $24 billion.

• Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy is reportedly preparing to raise $84 billion (split evenly between fixed income and equity markets) to fuel further Bitcoin purchases.

• And there are growing rumors that Nvidia — one of the most dominant players in AI and tech — may be looking to add Bitcoin to its balance sheet.

In short: institutional conviction is rising, and supply is tightening — but the broader public still hasn’t caught on. The market feels like it’s quietly coiling for something much bigger🤔
