矿工抛售导致比特币哈希率创历史新高

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.

Instead of complying, Armstrong responded publicly, declining the payment and vowing to pursue the extortionists. “I want to make you aware of a disturbing email were received recently at Coinbase.

However, the information they had, such as dates of birth and contact information, allowed the attackers to perform social engineering attacks. Specifically, they contacted the users, pretending they were support agents, and tricking them out of their crypto. Armstrong stated that Coinbase would reimburse any customers who lost crypto in this manner. The company is also relocating some of its customer support centers in response, although Armstrong did not disclose which locations would be affected.

Bitfarms 首席执行官 Ben Gagnon 分享了他对特朗普政府的新地缘政治挑战将如何影响比特币挖矿行业的看法。 加尼翁 3 月 11 日接受彭博电视采访时表示，美国和加拿大都是能源驱动型经济体，已有 200 多年的历史。过去两个世纪，能源供应充足、价格低廉，是两国经济增长的主要动力。 不过，他解释道，持续的贸易紧张局势和关税可能会对能源市场产生下游影响，而能源市场对于比特币挖矿至关重要。 “我们所有的站点都位于魁北克，”加尼翁说。“最大的站点将位于魁北克和阿尔伯塔，其次是不列颠哥伦比亚。另一方面，安大略省由于能源市场较弱且产能减少而不那么有吸引力。” 尽管华盛顿和渥太华之间的政治紧张局势没有立即缓解的迹象，但加尼翁认为，扩大电力市场准入和监管支持对于采矿业的长期成功至关重要。他强调，需要放松管制和平稳的市场运作，以允许矿工继续扩大业务。 战略收购巩固市场地位 Bitfarms 一直忙于通过战略收购来加强其市场地位，以实现更好的地理多样性，从而利用能源获取优势。 Gagnon 表示：“我们的业务从 40% 位于北美、6% 位于美国转变为 80% 位于北美、66% 位于美国。”“这种转变为我们打开了无限的机遇，改善了我们运营的质量和成本结构。” 加格农还解释说，能源基础设施从工业用途向比特币挖矿的转变正在创造新的增长机会。 “过去四五年来，比特币矿工一直在投资以前用于铝冶炼等行业的能源基础设施。随着钟摆重新摆回北美，这些资产现在需求旺盛，”他说。 监管不确定性仍然是一个挑战 尽管加格农对比特币挖矿行业的未来仍持乐观态度，但他指出，尽管前景确实在改善，但目前的监管不确定性仍然是一个持续令人担忧的问题。他指出，特朗普总统最近的举动，包括关于战略比特币储备的讨论，至少表明人们越来越认识到比特币在经济中的作用。 但是，更加清晰的能源和加密法规是创造更大增长机会的关键。 他补充道：“我们需要更多地进入电力市场，并需要一个支持性政策框架来推动长期成功。”

链上资产管理公司 Superstate 宣布已向美国证券交易委员会注册其基于区块链的转让代理 Superstate Services LLC。 数字转让代理的注册符合 Superstate 利用区块链技术推进代币化证券整合的目标。该公司在一篇博文中表示，确保遵守现有监管框架，同时将现实世界的资产纳入链上，是 Superstate Services LLC 的首要任务。 代币化证券市场受益于过户代理，无论是发行人还是市场，都可以跟踪股份的所有权、发行和赎回。有了过户代理，发行人可以专注于业务增长和运营，同时确保有效的治理并增强股东信心。 Superstate 的代理服务旨在将这些优势推向市场，使发行人能够利用资产管理人的链上记录系统进行实时所有权监控。 “最初，Superstate Services 将仅支持我们的 Superstate Funds，因为我们寻求扩大其分销范围。但是，随着越来越多的证券被代币化，我们的目标是让 Superstate Services 成为所有发行人的关键支持服务提供商，”该公司表示。 你可能还喜欢：Bitwise 与 Maple Finance 合作进军链上信贷市场 该资产管理公司的代币化证券基金将从中受益，包括超级州短期美国政府证券基金 (USTB) 和超级州加密货币持有基金 (USCC)。 USTB 允许合格购买者和认可投资者通过短期国库券探索投资机会，而 USCC 为机构投资者提供加密基础策略。根据 rwa.xyz，USTB 管理的资产超过 3.19 亿美元。 在美国监管领域对加密货币持普遍支持态度的背景下，该加密货币在美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 进行了注册。本周早些时候，商品和期货交易委员会代理主席 Caroline Pham 表示，CFTC 和 SEC 正在努力进一步开展监管合作。 SEC 委员 Hester Peirce 的言论同样引人注目，她目前领导着证券监管机构的加密货币工作组。在最近的讲话中，她表示，随着行业寻求监管明确性，过户代理可以在代币化证券市场中发挥关键作用。 你可能还喜欢：Omni Network 整合 Superstate 的 USTB 以优化财务战略
