Coinbase has agreed to acquire Deribit, the world’s largest trading platform for bitcoin and ether options, for approximately $2.9 billion, according to The Wall Street Journal.  The acquisition, Coinbase’s largest to date, includes $700 million in cash and 11 million shares of Coinbase Class A stock. Founded in 2016 and based in Dubai, Deribit offers options, futures, and spot trading. In 2024, trading volume nearly doubled to $1.2 trillion, driven by growing institutional demand post-election, according toWSJ. “This will make us the most comprehensive player in derivatives,” said Greg Tusar, Coinbase’s VP of institutional product. Coinbase, which has a market value above $50 billion, already offers futures in the U.S. and perpetual futures abroad.

Major stock indices were up today on continued U.S. trade talks with China, after Google dragged Nasdaq down with it. Positive sentiment prevailed in the broader markets, though the tech sector saw some turbulence. On Wednesday, May 7, the Dow Jones rose 377 points, or 0.92%, while the S&P 500 gained 0.42%. The Nasdaq, however, hovered just above the opening level, up 0.07%, after briefly diving 200 points earlier in the day. The tech-heavy index fell sharply from a high of 17,793 to a low of 17,600 in under an hour, largely due to pressure on major tech stocks. Notably, Google was one of the biggest losers, dropping 8.11% following reports that Apple plans to shift its Safari browser’s focus to AI-powered engines.

Apple’s stock was also down 1.46%. Importantly, Google currently pays Apple $20 billion annually to remain the default search engine on Apple devices. Renewed trade talks boost markets Despite tech stocks tumbling, markets were up on news of renewed trade talks between the U.S. and China. Notably, reports surfaced that U.S. officials were meeting with Chinese representatives to resolve the tariff crisis. Talks are set to take place this week on the unprecedented 145% U.S. tariff rate on all Chinese goods, and the retaliatory 125% Chinese tariffs. While these talks are encouraging, it is likely that negotiations are going to last at least several months.

Chinese factory activity was down significantly in April, while the U.S. Federal Reserve anticipates a slowdown in growth. In light of trade uncertainty, crypto markets have shown continued resilience. Bitcoin (BTC) is up 1.88% to $96,586, while the overall crypto market cap rose 1.54%, edging closer to regaining the $3 trillion mark.

Bitcoin price started the month on a strong note, crossing the important resistance level at $96,000 for the first time since February. Bitcoin (BTC) jumped above $97,000, up by almost 30% from its lowest level in April. Its rally occurred as investors adopted a risk-on sentiment, with the Crypto Fear and Greed Index rising to 55.  U.S. stocks also continued their upward momentum, with the Dow Jones and Nasdaq 100 indices both jumping by over 350 points. Below are the top three reasons why Bitcoin may be on its way to $100,000, and possibly an all-time high, in May. 1. Bitcoin price’s death cross pattern failed in April One major reason for optimism is that Bitcoin avoided forming a death cross pattern last month. A death cross occurs when the 50-day moving average crosses below the 200-day moving average — typically a bearish signal. In April, the spread between these two averages narrowed significantly but ultimately did not cross. This mirrors what happened in September 2023, when a near-death cross preceded an 83% rally in BTC. A similar setup could signal another bullish surge. Bitcoin has other bullish technical catalysts that may push it above $100,000 and even its all-time high. It formed a double-bottom pattern at $76,560, and has now moved above the neckline at $88,830. It has also moved above the upper side of the small bullish flag pattern shown in yellow. Therefore, all these patterns indicate further gains in May.  BTC price chart | Source: crypto.news You might also like:Cardano holds above key support as developer activity tops Ethereum 2. Bitcoin’s institutional demand is rising Another potential catalyst for Bitcoin is the growing number of institutions actively purchasing the coin. A notable example is that spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded net inflows of $2.9 billion in April, bringing cumulative inflows to over $39 billion.  In addition, more companies are building and increasing their Bitcoin treasuries. Cantor Fitzgerald, Tether, and SoftBank have teamed up to create Twenty One, a company whose sole purpose is to buy Bitcoin. Other firms, such as Trump Media and GameStop, have also announced plans to acquire Bitcoin. More companies are likely to continue buying Bitcoin as it gradually evolves into a safe-haven asset. It has outperformed stocks and other risk assets since Trump delivered his Liberation Day tariff speech. 3. Federal Reserve and Donald Trump pivot Bitcoin is also expected to receive a boost from Donald Trump and the Federal Reserve, particularly following this week’s economic data. A report released on Tuesday showed that consumer confidence tumbled in April. Another report revealed that the private sector created just 61,000 jobs in April, well below the median estimate of 121,000. The US economy also contracted for the first time since 2022, raising concerns about a possible recession. These numbers suggest that both Trump and the Fed may pivot this month. Trump could begin negotiating trade deals with countries, including China. Meanwhile, the Fed may signal that it is ready to intervene by cutting interest rates. These two actions will end the top risks facing the market this year, and push risky assets like Bitcoin higher.
