Gold Is Still the Safe-Haven King, While Bitcoin Loses Out: JP Morgan
Bitcoin's safe-haven narrative isn't living up to its mythical status, according to JP Morgan, with investors instead preferring to put their cash into gold amid recent market volatility spurred by President Trump's global trade war. Analysts at the top investment bank said in a Thursday report that gold exchange-traded funds and futures are receiving most of the investment action, as speculators look for a safe bet. Gold's price has soared since last year, and this week hit a new high over $3,...

The 10 Public Companies With the Biggest Bitcoin Portfolios
For many years, the idea that publicly traded corporations might buy Bitcoin for their reserves was considered laughable. The top cryptocurrency was considered too volatile, too fringe to be embraced by any serious business. That taboo has been well and truly broken, with a number of major institutional investors buying up Bitcoin in recent years. The floodgates first opened when cloud software company Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) bought $425 million worth of Bitcoin in August and September...

China Is Fueling Crypto Crime, From North Korea to Mexican Cartels: TRM

They all depend on the Chinese black market to launder their billions in crypto, according to new research. Despite crypto’s reputation as an uncensorable, borderless financial underworld, most major criminal groups utilizing digital assets wouldn’t be able to do so without the aid of sophisticated underground Chinese banking networks, according to blockchain int...

Bitcoin Price Flat Amid Signs 'Volatility May Be Cooling Off': Analysts
Volatility may be cooling off in the crypto markets—but occasional dips are likely before Bitcoin breaks $90,000 again, according to a BRN analyst.

BTC has proven sensitive to the uncertainty surrounding Trump's tariffs, with the World Trade Organization warning they could act as a "brake on global growth."

Bitcoin Stumbles as Investors Fear Fed Chair Powell Is Slow to React on Rate Cuts
The Federal Reserve expects U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs to stoke inflation, but it’s still too early to tell how they might affect the central bank’s monetary policy. That’s the message Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell hammered home on Wednesday, striking a cautious tone while speaking before the Economic Club of Chicago. “The level of tariff increases announced so far is significantly larger than anticipated, and the same is likely to be true of the economic effects,” he said. “We...

Bitcoin Steadies but Coinbase Analyst Sees Crypto Winter Brewing on Tariffs
The price of Bitcoin stumbled early Wednesday after the White House clarified how high tariffs on Chinese goods can be and Coinbase analysts warned of a brewing “crypto winter,” but the asset later regained ground to trade flat. In a fact sheet published on Tuesday, the Trump Administration said “China faces up to a 245% tariff on imports,” reflecting 125% “reciprocal” levies, a 20% tariff “to address the fentanyl crisis,” and so-called Section 301 tariffs, which range between 7.5% and 100% on c...
