Bullish, a crypto exchange backed by Peter Thiel, has confidentially filed for an initial public offering, joining a growing wave of digital asset firms looking to tap public markets. Peter Thiel-backed crypto firm Bullish has confidentially filed for an IPO in the United States, according to people familiar with the matter. The filing was made with the Securities and Exchange Commission in recent weeks, as reported by the Financial Times. Jefferies is set to serve as the lead underwriter for the upcoming offering. This marks Bullish’s second attempt to go public after a failed SPAC merger in 2021. The deal collapsed the following year amid a downturn in the stock market caused by rising interest rates in the U.S. You might also like:“No need to go public:” Tether brushes off IPO talk post Circle debut Bullish’s filing comes as a growing cohort of crypto firms is entering public markets. Circle, the issuer of the USD Coin (USDC) stablecoin, completed its IPO last week and saw shares surge over 300% in their first days of trading, making it one of the most successful billion-dollar U.S. listings on record. Gemini, the exchange founded by Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, filed confidentially for an IPO earier this month. Uphold, another U.S.-based digital asset platform, is currently weighing an IPO. On the flip side, Tether, which issues the world’s largest stablecoin Tether (USDT) isn’t planning to join the IPO rush. CEO Paolo Ardoino recently said there’s “no need to go public,” pointing to the company’s strong profits and a focus on long-term growth instead of listing.

More than 3.7 million cryptocurrency tokens have failed since 2021, with nearly half of those collapses occurring during the Pump.fun-driven memecoin craze. Millions of tokens have failed since 2021, with nearly half of those collapses recorded in 2024 and early 2025, according to new research by crypto pricing platform GeckoTerminal. The number of dead tokens | Source: CoinGecko According to the research, a total of 1.8 million tokens failed in Q1 this year alone, making up 49.7% of all token failures recorded between 2021 and 2025. In 2024, nearly 1.4 million projects also went under, accounting for 37.7% of failures. Together, the two years saw most of the crypto market’s token shutdowns. “This sharp decline in token survivability may be linked to broader market turbulence, particularly following Donald Trump’s inauguration in January 2025, which coincided with a downturn in the crypto market.” GeckoTerminal You might also like:Over 50% of tokens listed on CoinGecko since 2014 have died, data shows The number of new crypto projects has also surged. For instance, just over 428,000 tokens were listed on crypto price aggregator platforms in 2021. By 2025, that number had jumped to nearly seven million. The researchers say much of this growth “can be attributed to the launch of Pump.fun, which simplified the process of creating tokens, leading to a flood of meme coins and low-effort projects entering the market.” Before Pump.fun launched in 2024, the number of project failures was significantly lower. From 2021 to 2023, failures remained in the low six digits. Combined, those three years accounted for just 12.6% of total token deaths, the data shows. GeckoTerminal explained that it defines “dead tokens” as those which are no longer actively traded, noting that only tokens that had “one trade or more” before going defunct were considered.

Bitcoin is now worth more than one kilogram of gold, but gold is outperforming in this volatile economy, says MEXC COO Tracy Jin. Bitcoin (BTC) is worth more than one kilogram of gold, but many investors still favor the latter. On Monday, May 19, MEXC COO Tracy Jin shared her insights about Bitcoin’s relative performance with crypto.news. Jin pointed out that Bitcoin traded above $106,000, which is worth more than one kg of gold. The biggest crypto asset reached a daily high of $107,089 on May 19. However, she added that the volatile macroeconomic environment still favors gold.

This divergence highlights that, in times of heightened uncertainty, institutional capital continues to favor traditional safe-haven assets. Gold remains the preferred hedge — at least for now,” Tracy Jin, MEXC. Still, gold’s strong performance could be good for Bitcoin. This is because the current macroeconomic imbalances favor assets that are seen as safe havens. What is more, Bitcoin has more space to grow, Jin points out.

Compared to traditional markets, Bitcoin has shown resilience, and investors are increasingly starting to view it as a safe haven. “Bitcoin, however, is showing resilience. The asset has posted six consecutive weeks of growth, closing near $106,500. The $105,800 level is a key resistance zone: a confirmed breakout could open the way toward $109,000, with optimistic projections reaching $130,000 in Q3 and potentially $150,000 by year-end,” Tracy Jin, MEXC. Long term, there’s still significant potential for growth, especially if investors start using Bitcoin as a safe haven and a hedge against inflation. For instance, Jin pointed out that Bitcoin’s market cap is still well below gold’s, at $2 trillion compared to $21 trillion. Read more:Bitcoin price target if its market cap matched that of gold

2025年3月6日，一项行政命令设立了美国战略比特币储备。该命令禁止政府出售比特币或使用纳税人的钱购买更多比特币。自那时起，尽管已经提出了几种方案，但美国将如何获得更多比特币一直不明朗。 在最近接受专业资本管理公司首席执行官、总统数字资产顾问委员会主席安东尼·庞普利亚诺 (Anthony Pompliano) 的采访时，博·海因斯 (Bo Hines) 提到了官员们积极讨论的两种方法。让我们深入探讨一下他的观点，并列举一些关于美国如何获得更多比特币的其他想法。 目录海因斯说了什么？其他选择会计问题 海因斯说了什么？ 2025年4月14日，海因斯接受庞普利亚诺采访的视频片段出现在互联网上。在视频中，海因斯提到了美国增加比特币持有量的两种合法途径。 特朗普数字资产顾问委员会执行董事 BO HINES 表示，美国可以利用关税收入购买 $BTC pic.twitter.com/jo1MJf3NQ7— 街头之狼 (@scottmelker) 2025 年 4 月 15 日 海因斯首先提到了参议员辛西娅·卢米斯提出的《比特币法案》。他表示，该法案“已引起社区的强烈反响”。他还补充道，“该法案目前正在国会山广泛传播”，支持者正在寻找共同提案人，以帮助该法案取得成果。 参议员卢米斯和众议员尼克·贝吉奇于3月11日提出了《比特币法案》。该法案授权美国建立类似于黄金储备的战略比特币储备，并正式承认比特币为国家战略资产。该法案规定，美国必须在五年内通过预算中性的方式购入一百万比特币，包括美联储汇款和黄金证书重估。 在一次采访中，海因斯强调了后一种增加国家BTC持有量的方式。他解释说，目前，美国财政部的大部分黄金证书价值为每盎司43美元，而当前的金价超过了3000美元。财政部长可能会发行反映黄金公平市场价值的新证书，而不仅仅是黄金证书的法定价格。海因斯表示，美国可以利用“额外的资金”来购买更多的BTC。 实际法定黄金证书价格设定为每金衡盎司42.2美元。Sprott Money的Craig Hemke一直批评黄金重估策略，称其为“一种会计花招，能让美国财政部凭空创造一万亿美元，同时又不影响当前资产负债表的净赤字”。Hemke指出，在资产方增加1万亿美元，同时在负债方增加1万亿美元，唯一的结果就是美元贬值，从而推高金价。 然而，疲软的美元正是特朗普所需要的，因此美国可能会促进出口，并将制造商从海外带回美国。此外，通货膨胀通常会导致比特币表现更强劲。鉴于此，黄金券的升值可能正是现任政府所期望的结果，即使抛开寻找资金购买比特币不谈。 阅读更多：如果美联储印制更多货币，比特币将面临什么风险？ 黄金券重估并非为SBR提供资金的唯一途径。海因斯提到了另一种之前未提及的方法，即关税收入。根据税务基金会的研究，10%的普遍关税可能在九年内带来2.2万亿美元的收入，而20%的关税则可在同期带来3.4万亿美元的收入。负面的宏观经济反馈可能会降低这些数字。 以当前价格收购一百万比特币所需的资金远低于一万亿美元。因此，关税收入和黄金券重估似乎都足够有效。这两种方法并非唯一。海因斯承认，在不花费纳税人钱的情况下，有无数种可能的方法可以发展SBR。 “一切都摆在桌面上。正如我们所说，我们希望尽可能多地获得。因此，在开始充实这些流程时，我们将确保不遗余力。” 其他选择 各位专家提出的其他选择包括建立比特币债券和使用交易所稳定基金盈余购买 BTC。 出售外汇稳定基金和特别提款权的盈余，这是一种类似于金券重估的会计操作。出售这些盈余无需国会批准。这可能会让政府轻松获得390亿至400亿美元用于购买比特币。 比特币政策研究所推出了比特币债券，简称BitBonds。投资者将获得以美元支付的1%固定年利率。BitBonds销售所得的90%将用于政府资金，其余部分则可用于为SBR购买更多比特币。 会计问题 The approximately 200,000 BTC stockpile existing in the U.S. now consists of bitcoins collected through seizures. Accounting of bitcoins held by the U.S. agencies should have been done within 30 days after the adoption of the SBR on Mar. 6, 2025. However, it is still unknown if the audit took place and what the results are.  当然。如果你是一名加密货币游说者，这次采访绝对能让你感到安慰。Bo 大体上支持加密货币游说者的所有诉求，尽管具体细节上略显不足。我之所以对这次采访感到如此沮丧，是因为这不仅仅是一次普通的盛会……— Pledditor (@Pledditor) 2025年4月14日 庞普利亚诺因在白宫接受博·海因斯采访时未提及审计问题而在网上受到批评，一些人认为庞普利亚诺是特朗普政府的托儿。 您可能还喜欢：Trump administration may potentially use tariffs revenue to buy Bitcoin for strategic reserve

North Carolina’s House of Representatives passed a crypto investment bill that would allow the state treasurer to invest 5% of state investments into approved cryptocurrencies. According to the official site, the House passed North Carolina’s Digital Assets Investment Act, or House Bill 92 on its third reading on April 30 with a vote of 71 to 44. The crypto investment bill is now headed towards the Senate for approval or rejection before it can be passed into legislation. HB 92 was first introduced in February this year by Republican House Speaker Destin Hall. The crypto investment bill would allow the state treasure to invest government funds into digital assets that fulfill certain requirements. First, the digital asset must be in the form of an exchange-traded product or ETP. Second, the average market cap for the crypto asset must be at least $750 billion within the span of a year, as determined by the state treasurer using commercially reasonable methods.

The crypto asset should also abide by regulatory compliance standards and risk oversight. Amendments made to the crypto investment bill’s draft have also ensured that the treasurer may be allowed to assess the feasibility of letting members of retirement and deferred compensation plans to elect to invest in digital assets in the form of exchange-traded products. Earlier in April, North Carolina representatives introduced another bill that would allow the use of crypto assets for tax payments as well as other economic transactions. Similar to its predecessor, HB 92, the draft lists down a series of requirements that chosen crypto assets have to fulfill in order to be eligible for tax payments and other economic transactions. So far, Arizona has become the first state to come close to passing crypto draft bills into law. Though, North Carolina seems to be running second in the race. On April 28, Arizona’s House approved two legislation, SB 1025 and SB 1373, which propose different methods for establishing a Strategic Bitcoin (BTC) Reserve. However, the fate of both bills are yet to be decided by Governor Katie Hobbs. Read more:Arizona becomes first U.S. state to pass Strategic Bitcoin Reserve bill
