The Debasement Trade Splits as Gold and Bitcoin Bets Diverge The Debasement Trade Splits as Gold and Bitcoin Bets Diverge "Gold wins in every branch of the fiscal-dominance scenario," Ardern said. Bitcoin presents a less straightforward payoff, he said. It can benefit strongly if investors come to expect greater monetary support or currency debasement, but it can also trade like a risk asset when inflation and bond yields rise and investors pull back from equities. "That isn't skepticism about the debasement thesis," Ardern said. Rather, traders are keeping exposure to further gains while adding protection because Bitcoin's performance depends more heavily on which path the macro economy takes. Bitcoin's recent surge helps explain...

Bitcoin steadies at $77.4k with focus on Clarity vote, Fed meeting Investing.com-- Bitcoin moved little on Tuesday, steadying in anticipation of a U.S. vote on a key cryptocurrency regulatory act, while caution before a Federal Reserve meeting also weighed. The world’s largest crypto fell 0.2% to $77,406.0 by 02:30 ET (06:30 GMT). Bitcoin gained some ground in the prior session after U.S. President Donald Trump reportedly agreed to a new ethics provision in the Clarity Act.  Broader crypto prices mostly fell on Tuesday, weighed by growing risk aversion as benchmark U.S. Treasury yields hit near two-decade highs, while oil prices rose further on a worsening conflict in the Middle East.  Anticipation of a Fed meeting limited any...

Trump Pushes Crypto Bill, Escalating Industry’s Fight With Banks "We can be the crypto capital of the world and the banking capital of the world, but to get there we need sensible guardrails in place for digital assets," the American Bankers Association said in an emailed statement. "We should be able to embrace innovation without undermining the economy, consumer protection, and a banking system that remains the envy of the world." Many in the banking industry say they would support the legislation with a few key tweaks, including explicit rules prohibiting stablecoin interest and rewards. But even if they succeed in holding back the Clarity Act, changes are coming. The leaders of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the...

Bitcoin steady at $77.7k amid M.East tensions, rate hike jitters Investing.com-- Bitcoin moved little on Monday, steadying after declining last week as markets parsed worsening clashes in the Middle East and mounting expectations that the Federal Reserve will hike interest rates this week.  Anticipation of a potential vote on the Clarity act, plus more major central bank meetings beyond the Fed, also kept crypto traders to the sidelines.  The world’s largest crypto rose 0.8% to $77,760.7 by 02:09 ET (06:09 GMT), after losing some 3% last week.  Broader crypto prices also advanced slightly on Monday, but remained rangebound below recent highs amid a swarm of uncertainties for the sector.

Jordi Visser Puts Bitcoin In The Same Bucket As SpaceX, Anthropic And OpenAI, Says ‘None Of Them Make Money’ Jordi Visser Puts Bitcoin In The Same Bucket As SpaceX, Anthropic And OpenAI, Says ‘None Of Them Make Money’ Visser Recalls Amazon Bubble Doubt Visser said he had seen the pattern before. He recalled traveling to Silicon Valley in 2013 to work out how Amazon (AMZN), which he said was up 17,000% since its 1997 initial public offering, could keep making new highs while barely turning a profit. "It's a bubble. It can't possibly be real on the metrics that I know," he said he had thought at the time. The trip, which included a stint at Singularity University, changed how we evaluate companies, he added. Fed Decision Comes Into...

CLARITY Act Odds Slashed to 60-Vote Senate Test Comes Into View CLARITY Act Odds Slashed to 60-Vote Senate Test Comes Into View Lawmakers remain divided over protections for decentralized finance protocols and non-custodial software developers, with concerns that some language could create regulatory loopholes.

If cloture does not clear, the bill would not advance through that procedural step. The legislative route is not the only avenue for crypto...
