Welcome to the US Crypto News Morning Briefing—your essential rundown of the most important developments in crypto for the day ahead.
Grab a coffee to read what experts say about Bitcoin (BTC) relative to the dollar index (DXY) amid Trump’s tariff uncertainties and prevailing geopolitical tension in the US. Investors perceive Bitcoin as a hedge against currency devaluation, but recent developments put this outlook into question.
Crypto News of the Day: Every Pocket of Money Will Flow Into Bitcoin as Fiat Collapses, Max Keiser Says
In a recent report, Coinbase said that Bitcoin’s upward trend will continue through the second half (H2) of 2025. According to the US-based exchange, tailwinds will draw from macro factors and corporate adoption.
The report highlights key trends that, according to Coinbase, would define crypto markets in H2.
Focusing on an improving macroeconomic outlook, Coinbase cited reduced recession risks as the first trend. The platform noted a more optimistic US economic growth outlook, particularly as the Federal Reserve (Fed) is likely to cut interest rates by late 2025.
It cited rising liquidity metrics such as the US M2 money supply and expanding global central bank balance sheets.
“…conditions are unlikely to cause asset prices to revert to 2024 levels,” read an excerpt in the report.
This implies Bitcoin’s upward trend will likely continue. Coinbase also pointed to strong short-term corporate demand. The report highlighted companies increasingly viewing crypto as an asset allocation tool.
With nearly 228 public companies holding 820,000 BTC globally, and others investing in ETH, SOL, and XRP, Coinbase anticipates more growth for Bitcoin. Against this backdrop, BeInCrypto contacted experts for insights.
Speaking to BeInCrypto, Bitcoin pioneer Max Keiser echoed the sentiment, calling it an example of how Bitcoin is entering a new era of institutional-led price discovery.
“Each and every pocket of money sitting in private, corporate, institutional and sovereign accounts will convert into Bitcoin as the 300-year experiment in fiat money and central banking crashes into oblivion,” Max Keiser told BeInCrypto.
Meanwhile, recent developments align with Keiser’s remarks concerning fiat money crashes. Data on TradingView shows the US dollar index (DXY) is falling, testing levels last seen in 2022.
The latest drop brings April headlines to mind, when Trump pushed to remove Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell.
As it happened this week, the subject resurfaced, with rumors floating the current US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent as a potential candidate.
These rumors remain unconfirmed. However, as reported in a recent US Crypto News publication, additional forces may also be at play, including the uncertain status of US-China trade deals.
Additional factors include the Israel-Iran war, which, as another US Crypto News publication explains, threatens to exacerbate inflation in the US by influencing oil prices.
Meanwhile, amid the geopolitical tension, Bitcoin’s position as a safe haven during a crisis is in question, with gold proving a more preferred choice among investors.
