ChainCatcher news, according to Jinshi reports, due to the decline in the dollar and U.S. Treasury yields, gold futures rose in relatively light trading. However, after a significant sell-off on Thursday, they are down overall this week.Analysts at SP Angel stated in a report that the outflow of ETF funds indicates that traders and investors have taken profits after gold prices have risen 21% year-to-date. SP Angel noted that easing trade tensions are reducing gold's appeal, while Trump announced he does not intend to fire Powell.

Previously, as of the week ending April 25, the total net inflow for Ethereum ETFs was $151.7 million, marking the highest level since February 2025. This reflects the growth in institutional demand.

A month later, despite some upward movement, Bitcoin is currently facing new resistance levels.If Bitcoin can overcome the current resistance level, it is expected to break through the $106,000 mark. The core factors contributing to this potential movement include: the continued strength of the U.S. stock market, Trump's signals of more relaxed tariffs, and the ongoing inflow of stablecoin funds, which were mentioned in yesterday's report.As ETF fund inflows recover, Bitcoin's momentum is strengthening, and the overall market structure trend is improving.

ChainCatcher message, Glassnode's latest data shows that the participation of first-time buyers and momentum buyers in the Bitcoin market remains strong, while profit-taking activity is at a moderate level. This supply-demand structure supports the durability of the recent Bitcoin rebound.Meanwhile, Ethereum has seen a significant increase in first-time buyers for the first time since February, and momentum buyer activity has also risen over the past 7 days. However, profit-takers have become more active simultaneously, which explains why the recent recovery in Ethereum's price has stalled.Market analysts point out that although large whale wallets are actively accumulating cryptocurrencies, overall market demand has cooled down. New ETF inflows have stabilized, and the inflow of stablecoins has not reached the levels seen during previous surges, suggesting that new capital is adopting a cautious or wait-and-see approach.

ChainCatcher news, according to Coingape, Citibank predicts in its latest report that the total supply of stablecoins will grow to $1.6 trillion by 2030 in a baseline scenario, and reach $3.7 trillion in an optimistic scenario.Analysts believe that if Citigroup's predictions come to fruition and the regulatory momentum under Trump’s policies continues, Bitcoin is expected to enter a price discovery phase. Based on the historical ratio of stablecoin growth to BTC price appreciation—stablecoins growing by 6.7 times could translate to Bitcoin growing by 3 to 5 times—Bitcoin's price could reach $285,000 by 2030, with a more optimistic upper limit potentially approaching $475,000 per coin.Even under conservative assumptions (i.e., only 25% of stablecoin growth shifting to Bitcoin), Bitcoin could still grow by 200% to 250% from current levels, with predictions suggesting a price rise to between $190,000 and $237,500 by 2030.
