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🤔
