larger' than gold ETFs: Analyst Spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) could surpass gold ETFs in total assets under management (AUM) as investor demand expands beyond the traditional "digital gold" narrative, according to ETF analyst James Seyffart.

"There are just more use cases of why somebody would put a Bitcoin ETF in a portfolio," Seyffart said on the Coin Stories podcast published to YouTube on Friday. He pointed to Bitcoin's ($BTC) role as digital gold, a store of value, a portfolio diversifier, and a form of digital capital and property, adding that the market also views Bitcoin as a "growth risk asset.

Seyffart explained that Bitcoin has "all these different ways" of being viewed, while gold only has "one of those things."

"Our view is that Bitcoin ETFs will be larger than gold ETFs," he added.

Bitcoin ETFs are a "hot sauce" in the portfolio

"There are so many people that could use it. They could be viewing it to put in their portfolio because they want to bet on like a growth and liquidity trade," he said. "It can be hot sauce in a portfolio in that way," he added.

Bitcoin is often compared to gold due to its limited supply and perceived role as a hedge against monetary debasement.

Peace and health for Qingming Festival. My deepest memory of Qingming is the scene of tomb sweeping in the TV series "The Legend of the White Snake," where the rain falls and loved ones are heartbroken.

I've also been keeping an eye on TermMax in my spare time. It's currently ranked 9th, just surpassing Lao Wang. Many people are making predictions, saying TGE will be available in May, but given the current market conditions, that might not be the case anytime soon. Everyone should be prepared. Secondly, regarding MP exchange predictions, my guess is around 1000:5. Considering the overall market situation, it shouldn't be too far off. The top 5 traders should be able to get over 30,000 USDT.

Recently, everyone's been focused on the mainstream chains with billions of TVL (TVL) trading with each other. Today, I want to talk about @TermMaxFi's small-scale project on XLayer, which only has a few hundred thousand USD.

Don't misunderstand, this isn't a step-by-step tutorial on how to interact and check in. If you can see through the surface, you'll find that TermMax's choice to start on an L2 platform, which is less than a fraction of Ethereum's, isn't about multi-chain expansion, but rather a highly ambitious behavioral test.

 Let's break things down; we'll only discuss the specific mechanisms, the real costs, and the on-chain receipts.

I. Resolving the Main Contradiction, Achieving a Suboptimal Victory

What is the biggest contradiction in traditional DeFi? It's the mismatch between the small amount of capital held by retail investors and the high transaction costs on the mainnet. Depositing $100 and burning $10 in gas first isn't decentralized finance; it's a whale club.

#TermMax's move to XLayer leverages its zero-gas and near-instantaneous confirmation features to directly remove the constraints of the on-chain environment.

President Donald Trump has unveiled a bold federal budget proposal for fiscal year 2027, signaling a dramatic realignment of national spending priorities. The plan centers on a significant expansion of military funding while trimming non-defense discretionary expenditures by 10%, reflecting the administration's firm commitment to national security over broader domestic programs.At the heart of the proposal is a staggering $1.5 trillion in total defense budgetary resources, accompanied by a $500 billion increase in military spending. These funds are earmarked for high-priority initiatives including the ambitious "Golden Dome" missile defense program, critical minerals stockpile development, and a major expansion of domestic shipbuilding capacity — all aimed at reinforcing America's strategic and defense posture on the global stage.Service members stand to benefit directly from the proposal, with military personnel slated to receive a pay raise ranging from 5% to 7%, acknowledging the sacrifices of those serving in uniform.On the domestic security front, the budget calls for a 15% increase in federal law enforcement funding, bringing the total to $19 billion. This reflects a broader White House emphasis on internal security and border enforcement. Conversely, the administration is pushing to eliminate nearly 30 Department of Justice grant programs, citing redundancy and misalignment with current presidential priorities.Infrastructure also receives targeted investment, with $4 billion directed toward the Federal Aviation Administration to modernize the nation's aging air traffic control system — a move expected to improve aviation safety and operational efficiency nationwide.As is customary with presidential budget proposals, Trump's FY2027 plan must still clear Congress, where bipartisan negotiations will ultimately shape the final legislation.

A total of 355.34 BTC, worth approximately $23.75 million, moved through an anonymous relay address and exited within minutes on April 3, 2026. While headlines have linked the transfer to Coinbase, on-chain evidence shows the exchange attribution applies only to a tiny 0.004 BTC side output, not to the main transfer itself.

Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure Charles Schwab is preparing to offer clients direct access to cryptocurrencies, joining a growing group of traditional financial institutions that have moved into digital-asset services. The firm plans to roll out “Schwab Crypto” through its Premier Bank platform, enabling eligible customers to buy and sell Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) directly, according to disclosures on the company’s website. Charles Schwab’s New Crypto Service Charles Schwab’s announcement makes clear that the new offering will not be open to everyone. The firm says not all applicants will qualify, and accounts will be available in every US state except New York and Louisiana. Related Reading: Ripple Prime’s Inaugural BBB Rating Explained — What Drove Kroll’s DecisionCompany leadership has signaled a cautious, phased approach to the launch. CEO Rick Wurster told investors last month that Schwab will initially support only Bitcoin and Ethereum and is “extremely confident” in the technical work required to integrate crypto trading into its systems.Charles Schwab’s CEO also described a staged rollout: the exchange will first test the platform internally with employees, then open access to a limited group of customers, and only after that offer the service broadly to its investor base.  Launch Date And Fees Still UnknownUntil now, Charles Schwab investors seeking crypto exposure have had to rely on alternative products available through the broker. The firm already provides access to crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs), crypto-related equities, Bitcoin futures, and listed options tied to spot Bitcoin ETPs.Related Reading: Prediction Market Clash: CFTC Sues Three States To Claim Exclusive ControlSchwab Crypto would, if launched as described, mark a move into direct custody-and-trading services for the two largest dig

Japan-based Metaplanet has now become the third-largest public firm holding Bitcoin. The ascent comes after the firm acquired 5,075 BTC, worth $405M, in Q1 2026, bringing its overall holdings to 40,177 BTC.

As of late 2025, Metaplanet held 35K BTC and ranked fourth. During that period, Bitcoin miner MARA ranked third with over 50K BTC. However, the miner offloaded over 15K BTC ($1.1 billion) in March, bringing its holdings to 38K BTC.

Collectively, the two factors led MARA to lose the third spot to Metaplanet.

Metaplanet's 2026-2027 plan

But Metaplanet's broader plan and long-term goal are way larger. The firm aims to acquire 210K BTC by 2027.

In 2026 alone, it plans to scale its holdings to 100K BTC. Put differently, in the remaining three quarters, it could add an extra 60K BTC.

At current prices, this would imply about $3.96 billion in needed capital to fund the 2026 deficit.

For the 5,075 BTC bought in Q1, the firm said the bid was funded by "capital market activities and operating income." In fact, last month the firm raised $275 million, with an option to

Shiba Inu (SHIB) appears to be stabilizing after recent weakness, finding fresh support and showing a surge in netflows. Currently, SHIB is trading at $0.000006018, with a market cap of $3.54 billion, according to CoinMarketCap.
Key insights:
Netflows spike: Over the past 24 hours, SHIB’s netflow rose 76.9%, with roughly $195,000 leaving exchanges compared to $110,000 the day before. Large outflows like this often signal accumulation by big players or “whales,” while inflows can indicate selling.
Support levels hold: SHIB recently bounced from the $0.00000580 area and is now consolidating just above the $0.000006 psychological mark. Analysts highlight key support between $0.00000580 and $0.00000590, which is preventing further downside.
Potential for a bounce: Holding above $0.000006 keeps the short-term structure intact. If SHIB falls below $0.00000580, the next support could be around $0.0000056. Conversely, maintaining above $0.000006, especially with healthy trading volume, could pave the way for another upward move.
In short: with stronger holder conviction and less SHIB available on exchanges, selling pressure eases, creating conditions for potential stabilization or a price bounce.
