Market picture

Bitcoin is down 1.3% over the past week, finishing around $27,800. Ethereum lost 2.7% to $1760. Other leading altcoins from the top 10 showed mixed dynamics: from a decline of 8.2% (Polkadot) to a growth of 13.6% (XRP).

Total crypto market capitalisation, according to CoinMarketCap, fell 1.4% to $1.16 trillion over the week.

Bitcoin had updated 9-month highs to around $28,900 but corrected in the second half of the week.

As a result of another recalculation, bitcoin's mining difficulty rose by 7.56%. The figure renewed its all-time high at 46.84 T. The average hash rate was 335.23 EH/s. Correlated metrics have increased by more than 30% since the beginning of the year.

News background

Tether technical director Paolo Ardoino said the company has about $1.6 billion in excess reserves to support its stablecoin USDT. In his view, amid the banking crisis and global economic uncertainty, bitcoin may well surpass its previous record high of $68,000.

The Fed's board of directors has once again rejected Custodia Bank's application for membership, indicating that the bank's business model does not meet the goals set out in the Federal Reserve Act.

JPMorgan bank said the US banking crisis has opened up opportunities to increase market share for some crypto exchanges by offering banking services to cryptocurrency firms and investors.

German securities processing giant Deutsche Wertpapier Service Bank AG (dwpbank), which manages 5.3 million customer accounts for various banks, has launched wpNex, a bitcoin trading platform.

Nasdaq, the operator of the stock exchange of the same name, has announced plans to launch cryptocurrency storage services by the end of the second quarter of 2023.

The Era of Easy Money May Be Over Again

The Era of Easy Money May Be Over Again

The global rate-cutting cycle appears to have reached its limits. With the Fed, ECB and BoJ all leaning towards tighter policy, a new era of higher rates may be emerging. Yet with debt levels across developed economies already towering, this is a dangerous balancing act. The greatest risk may lie within the old existing economic order weakening without a clear successor ready to take its place.

Gold – hit from both sides at once

Gold – hit from both sides at once

Gold is back near this month's lows around $4,118, and two forces are pulling it down at once. Iran peace talks remove the safe-haven bid while Fed rate signals undercut the inflation hedge. Central bank buying still puts a floor under the price, but Thursday's PCE report may decide whether the slide continues or gold finally finds a reason to bounce.

A £2 Trillion SpaceX: Extraordinary Vision… or Excessive Faith?

A £2 Trillion SpaceX: Extraordinary Vision… or Excessive Faith?

SpaceX may be worth over $2 trillion, but today's revenues hardly justify such a valuation. Investors aren't paying for the current business—they're paying for Starlink, AI, Starship and industries that don't yet exist. The real question isn't whether SpaceX is a great company, but whether reality can keep pace with expectations. At these levels, markets are pricing beliefs as much as fundamentals
