Analysts at Brown Brothers Harriman cite relief‑driven factors that could push the dollar lower in 2025. Moderating inflation eases monetary tightening pressures on the Fed. Diminishing geopolitical tensions reduce safe‑haven demand for the greenback. Stabilising growth in key trading partners creates a more balanced global environment. Core inflation continues to decline, while employment remains steady, signalling a subdued labour market. Manufacturing and services PMI readings show steady expansion without overheating. These data points lower the need for aggressive rate hikes, adding headwinds to dollar strength. The BBH team integrates purchasing‑power parity, interest‑rate differentials and risk sentiment to model the dollar’s trajectory. They differentiate relief factors from traditional drivers, expecting slower but persistent depreciation. Their forecast spans short‑term seasonal moves, medium‑term policy normalisation, and long‑term structural trends. Portfolio managers may hedge against potential dollar weakness, and corporates must reassess currency risk. Emerging‑market currencies and the euro are likely to benefit from the shift. However, a surprise resurgence in inflation or renewed geopolitical tension could reverse the trend, so continuous monitoring is essential.

The latest S&P Global/CIPS PMI shows a sharp rise in input‑price inflation for manufacturing and services. Higher energy, raw material and wage costs are pushing firms to consider passing costs to consumers. MUFG attributes the surge to persistent services inflation, commodity volatility and a weaker pound. The Bank of England now faces a dilemma: growth remains fragile while inflation pressure is resurging. A “higher‑for‑longer” interest‑rate stance may be needed, delaying expected rate cuts. Persistent services inflation, which makes up over 80 % of the UK economy, complicates achieving the 2 % CPI target. Government‑bond yields have risen and the sterling has become volatile as investors price in tighter monetary policy. Rate‑sensitive equity sectors, such as real estate and tech, have sold off, while firms with pricing power, like consumer staples and energy, are more resilient. Companies are seeking efficiency and supply‑chain diversification to protect margins. The PMI data, a leading indicator ahead of ONS figures, signals upside risks to inflation forecasts. Continued cost pressures could prolong restrictive policy, weighing on investment and consumer spending. Policymakers must balance domestic price forces against global uncertainty to restore stable growth.
Canary Capital has submitted a request to launch an exchange‑traded fund that tracks the PEPE memecoin in the United States. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has recently shown increased openness to cryptocurrency‑based exchange‑traded funds. Further details are available in the article “Canary Capital seeks SEC approval for PEPE memecoin‑tracking ETF,” originally published on COINTURK NEWS.
Crypto exchange‑traded funds returned to net outflows after a strong start to the week, driven primarily by a sharp reversal in Bitcoin's price. On Tuesday, Bitcoin ETFs recorded outflows of $159.05 million, with Fidelity's FBTC leading the decline, indicating weak market confidence. XRP ETFs posted gains, while Ether and Solana ETFs experienced renewed selling pressure, with Ether ETFs shedding $64.67. The recent outflows highlight fragile investor conviction across crypto ETFs, especially for Bitcoin, and underscore divergent performance among different digital asset classes.
EIP‑8142, called “Block‑in‑Blobs,” is a proposed upgrade for Ethereum aimed at easing long‑standing scalability limits. It merges core transaction data with the blob payloads introduced by Proto‑Danksharding. By doing so, validators can handle less data, reducing network bandwidth pressure. The change is positioned as a key step after the Merge and before full Danksharding. The core innovation is embedding execution data directly into blobs and using Data Availability Sampling (DAS). DAS lets a validator verify data availability by checking only small random samples, avoiding full dataset downloads. This probabilistic model cuts propagation time and hardware requirements for nodes. It also prepares the protocol for the parallel data checks required by Danksharding. EIP‑8142 consolidates the separate execution gas and blob fees into a single “data gas” charge. A unified fee simplifies cost calculations for users and layer‑2 rollups and could stabilize or lower pricing. Implementing the new model will require wallet and tooling updates to display the merged fee. Precise economic parameters will be set by core developers. Adoption will demand coordinated upgrades across all major clients and extensive security audits. Ecosystem components such as explorers, indexers, and dApps must adapt to the new transaction format. The proposal will undergo peer review, testnet trials, and community voting before any mainnet activation. If successful, it promises immediate bandwidth relief and a faster path toward full Danksharding.
Pharos raised $44 million in a Series A round on 15 March 2025, bringing total funding above $52 million. The capital will accelerate its RealFi ecosystem that tokenizes real‑world assets such as commodities, real estate, and debt. The round reflects rising institutional confidence in blockchain‑based finance. The round was led by an Asia‑based private‑equity fund, a renewable‑energy company, and a Hong Kong‑regulated financial institution, with participation from Sumitomo, SNZ Capital, Chainlink and Flow Traders. This diverse lineup showcases cross‑industry interest and validates Pharos’s compliance focus. Funding will strengthen security, scalability, and connections to institutional capital. Analysts project tokenized real‑world assets could surpass $10 trillion by 2030, attracting banks like BlackRock and JPMorgan. Pharos targets this market with a Layer‑1 that offers high throughput, identity verification, and Chainlink oracle integration. It competes with Ethereum, Avalanche and Polygon by providing a specialized “RealFi” platform focused on Asian institutional capital. Approximately 40 % of the funds go to core protocol development, 30 % to business development, and 30 % to ecosystem grants. Key milestones include a Q2 2025 mainnet launch, Q3 custody integration, Q4 institutional DEX, and Q1 2026 expansion into carbon credits and IP. Built‑in KYC/AML and adaptable compliance modules aim to meet global regulatory standards.
Sui is a Layer‑1 blockchain by Mysten Labs using an object‑centric model and Move language. Total supply is capped at 10 billion tokens with a fixed emission schedule. Daily active addresses and transaction volume have steadily risen since launch, driven by gaming and DeFi. Analysts predict using past volatility, comparable L1 adoption, and macro cycles, applying moving averages and TVL trends. 2026‑2028 forecasts range from modest steady growth to a breakout in gaming/DeFi. Network effects may intensify after 2‑3 years, drawing institutional attention. By 2030 Sui could enable identity, supply‑chain and complex finance, boosting its market share. Regulatory clarity, upgrades and ecosystem growth are positives; risks include Move bugs, stiff L1 competition and market swings. Investors should prioritize fundamentals, diversify and assess risk before investing.
BNB remains among the top five crypto assets by market cap as of Jan 2025, reflecting strong investor confidence despite regulatory headwinds. The token benefits from Binance’s $20 billion daily trading volume and the expanding Binance Smart Chain ecosystem. Its dual role as exchange utility and blockchain native token underpins its resilience. Forecasts combine technical indicators—moving averages, RSI, volume—with fundamental metrics such as user growth, transaction fees, and the quarterly burn rate. Reports from Bloomberg Intelligence and CoinMetrics provide data on network activity and ecosystem health. Analysts stress range‑bound projections because crypto prices retain high uncertainty. Technical charts show $600‑$800 support and a $1,200 resistance that, if broken, could trigger bullish momentum. Planned BSC scalability upgrades, clearer global regulations, and rising institutional exposure are projected to push BNB toward $1,000‑$1,400 in 2026. Continued ecosystem upgrades and cross‑chain integrations may set the stage for a $2,000 target by 2028. By 2030, BNB would need sustained annual growth to reach the $2,000 level, supported by global crypto adoption, ongoing technological improvements, and a deflationary burn mechanism. Risks include market volatility, regulatory changes affecting exchange tokens, and competition from other blockchains. The token’s entrenched position in the world’s largest exchange suggests it can maintain relevance, but investors must weigh volatility and regulatory uncertainty.
MEXC has named Vugar Usi as its chief executive officer. Usi’s appointment is geared toward securing a MiCA license, a move that will accelerate the exchange’s expansion throughout the European Union. The platform will retain its low‑fee model while sustaining a daily trading volume of roughly $2.2 billion.
Ethereum secured its proof‑of‑stake consensus with The Merge (2022) and is progressing toward proto‑danksharding to boost scalability and lower fees. Network health is tracked via daily active addresses, total value locked, and the 200‑week moving average, which historically signals accumulation. Regulatory clarity in major economies could open institutional channels, while restrictive rules may impede growth. Historical cycles show strong price runs during broad crypto adoption and corrections during macro tightening. The “Surge” upgrades aim for >100,000 tx/s via roll‑up scaling, potentially sparking higher user activity and developer interest. Approval of spot ETH ETFs in additional jurisdictions could funnel fresh capital into the ecosystem. Competition from other smart‑contract platforms and security risks in new layer‑2 solutions remain notable challenges. Market cycles suggest a possible peak around 2025 followed by a consolidation phase that may set the 2026 price baseline. Proponents argue that widespread DeFi expansion and tokenization of real‑world assets could push ETH’s market cap to levels comparable with large‑cap tech stocks, supporting a $10k price. This depends on sustaining first‑mover advantage, successful scaling, and growing institutional adoption. Skeptics cite regulatory pressure, rival blockchains, and macroeconomic downturns as potential derailers. Analysts view $10k as plausible under high‑adoption scenarios but stress the speculative nature of such forecasts.

The United Kingdom’s new statutory gambling levy has started to allocate its inaugural prevention grants through the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities. This marks a significant and debated change in UK gambling policy, replacing the former charity‑led framework that was managed by Gambleaware. The levy has generated £120 million in funding.
HOOW has fallen about 58% over the past year, yet its latest weekly distribution implies a 51% annual yield. The ETF delivers 1.2× leveraged, uncapped exposure to Robinhood (HOOD), magnifying both gains and losses. Because of this leverage, entry timing is crucial for investors seeking upside. The high yield comes with variable payouts and a reliance on return‑of‑capital distributions. Consequently, HOOW is better suited as a tactical position rather than a buy‑and‑hold income vehicle. HOOW achieves its leverage through weekly swap agreements while also holding HOOD shares as collateral. Its assets under management have dropped from $265 M to $107 M, reflecting outflows tied to the high‑distribution strategy. Payouts can swing widely, and the fund often returns capital, which erodes NAV especially in sideways or declining markets. Prolonged outflows could eventually force liquidation, though that risk is not immediate. Investors must accept both amplified volatility and potential tax‑efficient returns from return‑of‑capital. Compared with HOOY, HOOW underperforms in flat or falling markets but captures larger upside during strong HOOD rallies due to its uncapped structure. Robinhood’s recent revenue growth, diversification into crypto, gold cards, and prediction markets suggest a possible rebound, which would boost HOOW’s performance. However, the ETF’s leverage means losses can be severe if HOOD stays stagnant or declines. Strategic investors may consider reinvesting weekly payouts into broader growth assets to offset NAV decay. If Robinhood’s momentum returns, HOOW could deliver significant upside at its now‑attractive price level.
Argentine prosecutors are examining phone records tied to President Javier Milei as part of the LIBRA token probe. LIBRA, a Solana‑based token launched in February 2025, gained attention after Milei posted about it on X. The inquiry focuses on whether Milei had prior knowledge or influence over the token’s debut. The logs reveal several calls between Milei and entrepreneur Mauricio Novelli on the night the token went live. Calls began minutes before Milei’s tweet and continued as the token’s price spiked and then crashed, wiping roughly $250 million in market value. Prosecutors say the timing could contradict Milei’s claim of no foreknowledge. Recovered messages from Novelli’s devices mention recurring payments to Milei during his earlier political career, described as monthly compensation. Draft proposals link financial incentives to endorsements, and there are unverified claims of payments involving Karina Milei. All parties deny wrongdoing and assert their interactions were routine. Milei has not been charged but remains a person of interest, prompting broader debate on officials’ involvement with digital assets. Regulators in Argentina and abroad are closely monitoring the case as it develops. The outcome could shape future policy on political figures and cryptocurrency promotions.
Adam Back says the threat of quantum computing to Bitcoin remains far off, recommending a cautious and incremental approach to preparedness. He urges the community to begin low‑key measures now rather than waiting for an imminent crisis. His stance frames quantum risk as a long‑term concern rather than an immediate danger.

Morgan Stanley will list its spot Bitcoin ETF (MSBT) on U.S. exchanges. Analyst Eric Balchunas expects roughly $30 million in first‑day volume. The launch highlights rising institutional crypto adoption. Balchunas forecasts MSBT could hold $5 billion in assets within a year, driven by the bank’s large client base and stable Bitcoin pricing. While 2024 ETFs saw higher first‑day inflows, the $30 million projection is strong for a new product in a crowded market. The SEC has already approved the fund, clearing a major regulatory hurdle. Morgan Stanley’s entry adds legitimacy, improves custody infrastructure, and deepens market liquidity. It also encourages clearer regulatory guidance for digital assets. The move may spur other banks to launch similar ETFs, benefiting investors with more options and lower fees.
