SOL Strategies Inc. has secured a financing facility of up to $500 million through a convertible note agreement with ATW Partners, the company announced Wednesday. The publicly traded firm, which focuses on investments and infrastructure for the Solana (SOL) blockchain, said the funds will be used exclusively to purchase SOL tokens and support the company’s validator operations. The first tranche of the facility will provide $20 million in capital, with additional drawdowns of up to $480 million available pending certain conditions.  The initial closing is expected to occur on or around May 1, 2025, according to a release shared with crypto.news. This news reflects that of DeFi Development Corp and Upexi, both of which are planning to invest in a company’s strategy related to its Solana-based treasury.

Under the terms of the deal, SOL Strategies will stake the acquired SOL on its own validators, and the resulting staking yield, up to 85%, will be used to pay interest to the lender.  The notes are convertible into common shares of SOL Strategies at market price, and are being issued under an exemption that does not require registration under Canadian or U.S. securities laws. The facility structure connects capital markets directly to staking economics, a model that may offer a blueprint for future institutional investments in proof-of-stake networks. Cohen & Company Capital Markets is serving as placement agent for the deal and will receive a 4% finder’s fee on the proceeds of the initial closing. While SOL Strategies is preparing for a potential Nasdaq uplisting, the company noted that future tranches of the facility remain subject to undisclosed conditions, and there is no guarantee the full $500 million will be utilized.

唐纳德·特朗普在“解放日”宣布的最新一轮关税给全球市场带来了不确定性。加密货币专家写信给 crypto.news 分享他们的观点。 一些分析师担心这会产生经济影响，但加密行业领导者认为此举会带来短期混乱和长期机遇。 关税针对美国的主要贸易伙伴，通过对进口产品征收关税来施压谈判。特朗普的做法与他过去的贸易政策如出一辙——利用经济紧张局势为美国经济争取有利条件。 特朗普提议的10%基准关税将使美国跻身关税最高的发达经济体之列，与阿根廷（11.4%）和巴西（12.1%）等国家并列。 在此声明之前，美国2024年的平均关税税率为3.4%，远低于全球加权平均值8.6%。相比之下，中国的平均关税税率为7.3%，而欧盟的平均关税税率为5.1%。 你可能还喜欢：MARA 矿池推动 3 月份 BTC 产量和奖励激增 市场反应和加密货币的地位 Ari10 首席执行官兼联合创始人马特乌什·卡拉 (Mateusz Kara) 认为，真正的问题不是关税本身，而是其造成的不确定性。 “就我个人而言，我认为我们不应该担心唐纳德·特朗普打算引入的关税。为什么？市场正在等待确定性因素——他们想知道将征收哪些关税以及征收多少。然后他们将为关税定价——要么短期内下降，要么立即上升，”他在一份报告中说道。 卡拉强调，特朗普行动的不确定性对市场的影响比关税本身更大。他还认为特朗普的策略中存在战略因素。 “特朗普将继续玩弄关税——他将利用关税来谈判贸易条款，但在实践中，这可能意味着降低关税。简而言之，就像一个优秀的谈判者一样，特朗普将以高关税开始，然后降低关税以换取对美国有利的条款，”卡拉补充道。 你可能还喜欢：StakeStone 价格在交易所上市浪潮后飙升 20% 深思熟虑且“经典”的商业策略 Ultra 首席执行官 Gus van Rijckevorsel 认为，特朗普的咄咄逼人的做法是一种精心策划的策略，目的是在寻求新的贸易协议之前制造不稳定。 这位首席执行官在一份报告中表示：“‘解放日’是特朗普试图在全球贸易市场上运用经典商业技巧的一次尝试。他试图最大限度地动摇美国贸易伙伴，并尽可能地施加压力，然后才愿意回到谈判桌上。这是一种卑鄙的做生意方式，但如果你能控制你的抵押品，它就会很有效。” Van Rijckevorsel 预计未来几个月市场将继续动荡，但他指出特朗普可能会减轻一些压力，并且“需要”谈判新的协议。特朗普就像一名“消防员，扑灭自己制造的火灾”。 尽管近期存在不稳定因素，但 van Rijckevorsel 认为加密行业仍有一线希望。他补充道： “为了得到更广泛的机构采用，加密货币市场需要承受压力，这样机构才能了解它们在巨大压力下的表现。然而，我们开始看到积极的迹象，表明市场正在朝着正确的方向发展。” 你可能还喜欢：Kraken 与英国 ClearBank 合作提供英镑清算服务 特朗普的关税和美元的作用 RedStone 联合创始人兼首席运营官 Marcin Kazmierczak 探讨了新关税将如何影响美元的全球地位。 He explained that aggressive tariff policies often have mixed effects, initially strengthening the dollar as investors seek safe-haven assets amid uncertainty. “Longer-term impacts could potentially challenge dollar dominance if major trading partners reduce dollar holdings in response, alternative settlement currencies gain traction for international trade, or the resulting inflation erodes confidence in dollar stability.” – Marcin Kazmierczak For crypto markets, Kazmierczak sees a more nuanced path forward. Protectionist policies that hold the power to weaken the dollar’s hegemony “could accelerate interest in decentralized alternatives” over time, Kazmierczak said.

Bitcoin price may be on the verge of a big breakout to its all-time high, and analysts from Fundstrat, Ark Invest, Standard Chartered, and BlackRock expect it to keep rising in the coming years.  One key theme among most analysts is that Bitcoin (BTC) is the digital version of gold, a top safe haven. Like gold, Bitcoin is a scarce resource with high demand, which explains why analysts see it as a store of value. Bitcoin has been one of the best-performing assets ever, as its price has moved from below $1 in 2009 to $104,000 today. Its market cap has jumped to over $2 trillion, a trend that may continue if analysts’ estimates are accurate. The continued Bitcoin price surge may also see it blast past gold in terms of market cap over time. Data shows that gold is the most valuable resource globally, with a market cap of $22 trillion, while Bitcoin is currently the fifth most valuable. This performance is notable, considering that gold has been in use for millennia, while Bitcoin is only about 16 years old. As such, all factors constant, there are odds that Bitcoin will flip gold over time as institutional and sovereign demand rises. The first phase of the Bitcoin price surge was mostly driven by retail investors, as companies remained skeptical. It has now moved into the institutional adoption phase, as companies like Tesla, Coinbase, Strategy, and Block buy in. The next phase could see countries start buying Bitcoin. El Salvador was the first country to do so, currently holding 6,174 coins worth $640 million. Donald Trump has promoted the idea of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, while some U.S. states are considering the same. More countries like the Czech Republic and Poland are also reportedly thinking about adding BTC to their reserves.

Based on the current circulation, a 1,000% jump would see Bitcoin’s price rise to $1,040,000 to match gold’s valuation. This target aligns with predictions from several industry experts. ARK Invest predicts that Bitcoin’s price will reach $2.4 million by 2030, resulting in a fully diluted market cap of $50 trillion. BlackRock’s $700,000 target would value it at $14.7 trillion, while Michael Saylor’s mid-term target of $5 million would lead to a $105 trillion valuation. BTC price short-term prediction Bitcoin price chart | Source: crypto.news There are odds that Bitcoin will have a strong bullish breakout, as it is slowly forming a cup-and-handle pattern, a popular continuation pattern. The upper side of this pattern is at $108,000, while its depth is 32%. Measuring the same distance from the cup’s upper side gives it a price target of $142,670.
