Alchemy Pay 将 MOVE 代币整合到其法定存款解决方案中

以太坊开发人员已将 2025 年 5 月 7 日确定为该网络下一次重大升级 Pectra 的发布日期。 这一决定是在 4 月 3 日的核心开发人员电话会议上做出的，此前，Pectra 升级的第三次也是最后一次试运行在 Hoodi 测试网上成功完成。在开发人员修复了之前导致延迟的错误后，Hoodi 测试网现已准备好在主网上线。 Pectra 将两个重大升级 Electra 和 Prague 合并为一个版本。它包含 11 项以太坊 (ETH) 改进提案，这将有助于提高网络速度、安全性和用户体验。得益于一项重大更新，以太坊钱包将能够使用智能账户。智能钱包更易于使用，如果用户失去访问权限，也可以恢复。 另一个值得注意的改进是 EIP-7251，它将每个验证者的质押限额从 32 ETH 提高到 2,048 ETH。此更新有望通过减少运行多个验证者节点的需要来简化机构和大额持有者的质押。 你可能还喜欢：Cardano 的新开源数字身份平台上线 它还引入了其他重要功能，例如对等数据可用性采样（允许节点验证交易数据而无需存储所有内容）和 Verkle 树（可帮助网络更有效地存储数据）。 尽管以太坊的发展正在取得进展，但其市场表现却不佳。截至本文撰写时，ETH 的交易价格为 1,804 美元，在 2025 年第一季度上涨了 45%。 根据 DefiLlama 的数据，交易费收入从 1 月份的 1.42 亿美元下降到 3 月份的仅 2100 万美元。此外，以太坊的消耗率已降至 2021 年 8 月以来的最低点，自 EIP-1559 升级以来，整体供应量增长了 3%。 尽管出现这些下跌，但以太坊在 3 月份的去中心化交易量方面仍超过了 BNB Chain (BNB) 和 Solana (SOL)，达到 640 亿美元。开发人员认为，Pectra 升级将有助于网络吸引新用户并增强市场信心。 阅读更多：DappRadar：由于人工智能和社交 dApp 推动 web3 增长，DeFi TVL 在第一季度下降了 27%

Bitcoin miners with the right infrastructure and management talent can gain substantial value by pivoting into the booming AI and HPC data center market, analysts say. As demand for AI infrastructure grows, crypto miners with access to power and cooling could be well positioned to profit from supporting high-performance computing workloads, according to a Galaxy Digital research report. The analysts believe miners with experienced management teams capable of executing AI and HPC buildouts have a “tremendous opportunity” to bring “significant incremental value to their companies.” The appeal lies in the long-term contracts and strong, steady cash flow models of AI and HPC colocation — described by Galaxy Digital as “predictable and high margin cash flow streams” — a level of stability that’s often lacking in crypto markets. “Not only is revenue more predictable than Bitcoin mining, it’s also uncorrelated to crypto markets, which smooths revenue profiles of companies with high exposure to the volatile crypto markets. In Bitcoin bear markets, this can enhance financial stability, allowing miners to continue to raise cash through equity or debt without incurring excessive dilution or interest burden.” Galaxy Digital Financing options are also expanding. Data center operators that have a lease in hand with a credit worthy counterparty “can take that lease and raise substantial sums of project financing to construct the data center,” Galaxy wrote, citing $18 billion in development financing underwritten in Q1 2024 alone.

With U.S. data center capacity expected to more than double by 2030, Galaxy says miners who adapt now could become “some of the largest operators in the industry.” Read more:Galaxy Digital proposes new voting framework to reduce Solana inflation

Bitcoin extended its winning streak to six straight weeks, powered by renewed optimism after President Donald Trump announced a trade agreement with the U.K. Bitcoin (BTC) was trading at $103,700 at last check on Saturday, and needs to rise by just 4.4% to hit its all-time high. Top U.S. and China officials are also currently in Switzerland, trying to reach an agreement that will lead to lower tariffs. Beijing’s delegation to the Switzerland talks will be led by Vice Premier He Lifeng, a close ally of Xi Jinping, who is expected to take a hardline stance against Trump’s escalating trade offensive. The hope is that a trade deal between the U.S. and its top trading partners (i.e., China, the European Union, Canada, and Mexico) would reduce recession risks and raise the odds of Federal Reserve cuts.  Top analysts are highly bullish on Bitcoin. In a note to clients this week, Standard Chartered analysts apologized for their $120,000 price target, arguing that it was too low. They still expect Bitcoin to end the year at $200,000.  BlackRock, the biggest asset manager globally, predicts that Bitcoin’s price will surge to $700,000 over time.In a September white paper, the analysts noted that Bitcoin had become a safe-haven asset that is uncorrelated with stocks.They also highlighted its strong performance compared to equities after key crises like Covid-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war.

That valuation would make it bigger than the U.S. and China GDP, combined.  Tom Lee, the popular founder of FundStrat, believes that Bitcoin will jump to $250,000 this year, while Chamath Palihapitiya sees it jumping to $500,000. Robert Kiyosaki, author ofRich Dad, Poor Dad,sees it jumping to $250,000. In a note this week, Kiyosaki continued to argue the case for Bitcoin over gold and silver because of its 21 million supply cap. WHY BITCOIN is a better asset than gold or silver:One reason why I trust Bitcoin is there are only to ever be 21 million.I own gold and silver mines and oil wells.If the price of gold, silver, or oil goes up, I will simply mine or drill for more, expanding supply.I…— Robert Kiyosaki (@theRealKiyosaki) May 7, 2025 Most analysts’ underlying theme is rising Bitcoin demand, evidenced by the $40 billion inflows into spot ETFs. At the same time, Bitcoin’s supply on exchanges continues to fall and is at its lowest level in five years. Bitcoin price technical analysis BTC price chart | Source: crypto.news The weekly chart shows that Bitcoin has remained in an uptrend for a long time. Its recent retreat found substantial support at the ascending trendline that connects the lowest swings since November 2022.  Bitcoin also remains above the upper side of the cup and handle pattern at $68,835 and the 50-week moving average. It now must cross the all-time high at $109,300, and more gains will follow.  The likely price target in this cycle will be $123,000, which is derived by measuring the cup’s depth and then the same distance from the upper side.  Read more:Arkham integrates portfolio management platform Haruko

比特币挖矿公司 Marathon Digital 报告称，2 月份比特币产量出现下降，由于网络难度增加和运营天数减少，产量环比下降。 该公司表示，由于网络难度增加和运营天数减少，Marathon Digital 的比特币 (BTC) 产量 2 月份环比下降了 6%。 这家总部位于佛罗里达州的公司在 3 月 4 日发布的比特币生产报告中透露，与 1 月份相比，其每日加密货币产量增长了 4%，尽管比特币产量环比下降了 6%。该公司强调，尽管产量下降，但 Marathon 的算力仍保持稳定。 “区块生成量和比特币产量环比下降了 6%，这主要是由于网络难度增加和运行天数减少 3 天。我们的算力哈希率略高于上个月，我们即将在俄亥俄州完成一个 40 兆瓦数据中心的建设，我们计划在那里安装一万多台 S21 Pro 浸入式矿机。” Fred Thiel，Marathon Digital 董事长兼首席执行官 你可能还喜欢：报告称，2024 年 ASIC 数量将激增 7%，比特币挖矿行业将扩张 人工智能的长期机遇 据泰尔称，这家矿业公司旨在加强其在人工智能领域的地位，正如马拉松首席执行官所说，这“将在长期内创造额外的收入机会”。 弗雷德·泰尔表示，“随着我们实现拥有自己的站点和自己发电所带来的节约，我们预计成本将会下降，我们将全神贯注于效率，努力实现低成本能源的目标。” 自 2024 年 4 月比特币减半以来，网络难度的上升给矿工带来了挑战，这导致每个挖矿区块的奖励从之前的高水平大幅下降，使得维持生产率变得更加困难。随着网络竞争的加剧，赢得的区块越来越少，这会影响生产数量。 根据雅虎财经的数据，在生产更新发布后，马拉松矿机在盘前交易中的股价暴跌了 5%。目前还不清楚俄亥俄州矿场的新矿机何时才能全面投入使用。 阅读更多：Marathon Digital 将哈希率提高了 15%，12 月开采了 890 个 BTC

Bitcoin rewards and payments platform Fold is the first publicly traded company of its kind on the Nasdaq. Bitcoin (BTC) is going more mainstream with each passing week. On Friday, May 2, Fold held an Opening Bell ceremony at the Nasdaq headquarters to celebrate its public listing. Trading under the ticker $FLD, it is the first publicly traded company focused specifically on Bitcoin financial services. “Ringing the bell at Nasdaq is a celebration of the journey from Bitcoin’s edges to the heart of global finance. We’re proud to represent the everyday use of Bitcoin in a market long dominated by speculation,” Will Reeves, CEO of Fold. Fold operates a Bitcoin rewards app tied to credit card purchases. Every time users make purchases with their card, Fold gives them cashback, in Bitcoin. Users can then withdraw the earned Bitcoin to personal wallets, hold it, or spend it directly through Fold’s app. This creates a user-friendly way for consumers to gain exposure to Bitcoin through everyday spending. 📣 Introducing the Fold Bitcoin Rewards Credit CardIt pays to be a Fold+ Credit Cardholder☑️2% Unlimited Bitcoin Rewards☑️Up to $250 Welcome Bonus☑️Free Metal CardJoin and climb your way to the top of the waitlist. $200,000 of prizes await!Sign-up link and blog 👇 pic.twitter.com/kSrvKAgXQA— FOLD BITCOIN (@fold_app) February 11, 2025 Fold partners with Visa to expand its reach To provide these rewards, Fold has partnered with major credit card issuers. Its 2023 partnership with Visa enabled the company to expand into Europe, Latin America, and the Asia-Pacific regions. This allows users to receive Bitcoin cashback on nearly any purchase. Cashback is a popular way for credit card issuers to attract customers. For every purchase on a card, users get a small percentage of their purchase back into their account. These are either applied to their credit card bills or received as a deposit. The company went public on February 19, with a SPAC merger with FTAC Emerald Acquisition Corp. This is a popular route for private companies to go public, without the traditional initial public offering. IPO’s usually mean that companies face significant scrutiny from regulators, which can be very costly. Read more:Fold buys 475 Bitcoin, enters top 10 of US companies holding BTC
