Not to mention that Satoshi left for a reason and deserves his privacy. But there’s hardly a better excuse to lean into the Nakamoto mystery than a cryptic fake birth date. It’s generally assumed that Satoshi listed April 5, 1975 as his birthday as a reference to President Roosevelt’s Executive Order 6102, which on that day in 1933 made it illegal for US citizens to hold physical gold — forcing them to give…

Lagarde called the digital Euro, a CBDC to be issued by the EU’s central bank, “critically important” and “more imperative now than ever before.” The deadline for us is going to be October of ’25, and we are getting ready for that deadline. But we will not be…
Canary Capital CEO Steven McClurg said the firm’s recent “out-of-the-box” crypto exchange-traded fund (ETF) filings are a calculated approach to engage with assets that have potential and unmet demand. In a recent interview with CryptoSlate, McClurg explained the rationale behind the company’s filings, ranging from the first Litecoin (LTC) ETF to the first fund to give exposure to a non-fungible token (NFT) collection in the US. He explained: “If you’re a big shop like BlackRock, you can afford to take chances. If you’re a smaller shop like us, we don’t do anything unless we really feel like we can actually…
The BTC price stays between $81,950 and $84,497 in consolidation but a price breakout will establish the market direction. The price targets are influenced by Fibonacci calculations and CME gaps because Fibonacci supports are at $80,300 and $88,654 while $77,500 stands out as the result of a CME gap. The price needs to stay above $81,555 since a fall below this threshold might create bearish momentum unless encouraging economic forces emerge. Bitcoin faces a pivotal decision point because trading activity limits itself to a tight resistance band that will shape its upcoming price movement. Technical analysts watch Bitcoin closely as…

Despite forming a traditionally bearish technical pattern, Bitcoin (BTC) appears to be setting the stage for a new record high, which could see the asset rally by about 80%. Specifically, prominent online trading analyst TradingShot observed that on April 4, Bitcoin completed a one-day death cross, where the 50-day moving average (MA) crossed below the 200-day MA. While this is often seen as a negative signal, during the ongoing 2023 to 2025 bull cycle, this pattern has instead preceded major rallies, acting as a powerful buy signal, he said in a TradingView post on April 4. According to the expert,…
This is a segment from the Forward Guidance newsletter. To read full editions, subscribe. At the TokenizeThis conference in New York this week, I had the pleasure of moderating a conversation with executives from Dinari and STOKR on the potential for tokenized stocks. I also caught a panel on the retail adoption of tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) more broadly. The headwinds, tailwinds, what have you. First things first: Stablecoins (primarily tokenized dollars, so to speak) are a nearly $230 billion market. Outside of that, onchain RWAs currently amount to $18.5 billion, RWA.xyz data shows. A recent report from Bitwise called…

Prominent crypto analyst Miles Deutscher has shared a prediction for Bitcoin (BTC), claiming that the largest cryptocurrency will reach a new all-time high (ATH) between the third quarter of 2025 and the first quarter of 2026. In a detailed post shared on social media, Deutscher acknowledged the current challenges in the market but urged investors not to lose sight of broader macroeconomic trends that could trigger a significant rally in BTC. “Yes, it’s painful right now but I think people are missing the bigger picture and the eventual rally will be bigger than ever,” Deutscher said. Deutscher’s thesis is based…
