HTX  Creation Challenge — Post and Win 1,500U 💥

Bitcoin is taking market share from gold as investors hedge against fiat currency debasement, JPMorgan analysts said in a research note this week.

Bitcoin exchange-traded funds have recorded inflows for three consecutive months through May, while gold ETFs are still struggling to recover the outflows that followed the March Iran conflict, according to The Block.

As Cryptopolitan reported in March, the divergence began with Bitcoin gaining 11% during the early period of the Iran conflict, while gold fell about 5% and the S&P 500 dropped nearly 3%.

The May update extends that pattern. Gold’s failure to recover its February-March outflows is what’s making the structural shift visible.

Institutional exposure to Bitcoin has expanded sharply through Strategy, the largest corporate Bitcoin holder globally.

JPMorgan estimated that if Strategy maintains its current accumulation pace, the company could purchase roughly $30 billion worth of Bitcoin in 2026, per The Block.

That would exceed the roughly $22 billion the company bought in each of 2024 and 2025.

Strategy has added 145,834 $BTC year-to-date, worth roughly $11 billion, with much of the buying happening below its average cost basis of around $75,000.

The company now holds 818,334 $BTC worth over $65 billion. JPMorgan analysts wrote that Strategy “appears to have re-accelerated its bitcoin purchases in April, extending a 2026 pattern of increasingly opportunistic buying, responsive to both market conditions and financing availability.”

TD Cowen raised its price target on Strategy to $395 from $385 earlier this week.

Bitcoin slips to $79,000, DOGE leads majors losses as negative funding rates set 10-year record




The longer the funding rates stay red, the louder the short squeeze gets.

Bitcoin traded at $79,614 in Asian hours Friday, down 1.6% over 24 hours but still up 3.3% on the week, after pulling back from a Wednesday high of $81,500 that was the highest print since late January.

Ether dropped 2% to $2,278, dogecoin slid 3.8% to $0.1063, XRP fell 1.7% to $1.38, and BNB shed 0.7% to $638. Solana and TRON held in green territory at $88.14 and $0.3474 respectively. Dogecoin is the only major coin in the red on the seven-day tape.

The pullback came as U.S. forces fired on Iranian targets after attacks on American naval destroyers transiting the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday, per reports.

President Donald Trump described the strike as a "love tap" in an ABC News interview, said the ceasefire with Iran remains "in effect," and threatened to hit harder if Tehran does not sign a deal soon. Brent crude climbed 1.2% to around $101 a barrel on the escalation, though oil is still down more than 6% on the week as the broader US-Iran de-escalation narrative continues to hold.

Apple stock (NASDAQ: AAPL) opened Thursday’s bell trading at $287 and remains on the front foot in May. It surged nearly 7% this month and continued its stellar April performance, where it rose close to 14%. The leading global phone maker is slowly moving up the charts, and the retail crowd is catching up with the price rise.Even after a year, Apple stock failed to climb above the $300 level but had plunged to a low of $180, all thanks to Trump’s Liberation Day announcement, where the stock market experienced a major crash. Trump’s tariffs and trade wars kept AAPL in the crosshairs of the market. Then the conflict in Iran also stunted its growth as oil prices surged across the globe.Also Read: Vertiv Stock Rises 100% & Doubles in Price in 2026 (VRT)How Long Until Apple Stock Reaches $350? (AAPL)Source: Watcher.GuruLeading stock market analytical firm TipRanks predicts that Apple stock could reach $350 in the next 12 months. AAPL has received a moderate buy rating with 17 Wall Street analysts urging traders to take an entry position. 10 strategists have given the equity a hold rating, while only one has given a sell call.If the price prediction turns out to be accurate, Apple stock is expected to surge approximately 22% from its current price of $287. Therefore, an investment of $1,000 could turn into $1,200+ if the price prediction turns out to be accurate. That’s stellar returns, as not every asset delivers double-digit gains in the charts in a year.On the downside, the price prediction warns that Apple stock could fall to a low of $250 if the market experiences turbulence. That’s a decline of nearly 13% from its current value. Also, in the coming months, AAPL’s average trading price could be around the $312 range, according to the forecast. AAPL is expected to climb above the $300 level next if it sustains the ongoing momentum.

CLARITY Act Urgent Update: Senate Committee Could Vote as Soon as TomorrowThe push for US crypto regulation just got more urgent. As reported by Eleanor Terrett, the Senate Banking Committee is preparing to notice a markup for the CLARITY Act as soon as tomorrow, with draft legislative text already circulated to select industry members ahead of a potential Thursday vote, according to multiple sources who have seen the document.

The language is still being finalized, with additional edits expected to reflect priorities from Democratic offices. One source described the overall mood after reviewing the bill as positive, though some bracketed sections are raising concerns that provisions previously thought to be settled may still be in flux.

Inside the 13F filingInstitutional adoption  Advertisement Traditional finance's pivot toward digital assets has officially reached the upper echelons of global wealth management. UBS Group, the Swiss banking titan boasting $5.7 trillion in assets under management, has officially disclosed exposure to XRP in a newly surfaced SEC Form 13F filing.The disclosure provides concrete, regulatory-grade evidence that some of the most powerful financial institutions on the planet are quietly loading up on the controversial digital asset, signaling a major shift from casual observation to active market participation.Inside the 13F filingAccording to the official United States Securities and Exchange Commission document, UBS has gained its exposure not by holding the raw token, but through heavily regulated exchange-traded products. HOT Stories XRP Holdings Disclosed by World's Leading Asset Manager Americans Overwhelmingly Support Major Crypto Bill, Poll Shows Volatility Shares XRP ETF: The bank holds a substantial 197,369 shares in this trust, valued at approximately $1.49 million. Advertisement Grayscale XRP Trust: UBS also disclosed a smaller, foundational position of 317 shares in Grayscale's dedicated XRP fund, valued at $8,248.While a combined $1.5 million allocation is a mere rounding error for a $5.7 trillion wealth manager, market analysts argue that the dollar amount is secondary to the symbolic weight of the disclosure. The inclusion of XRP products in a UBS SEC filing serves as a massive institutional stamp of approval, heavily challenging the narrative that XRP is strictly a retail-driven asset.Institutional adoption This revelation from UBS is not an isolated incident; it perfectly tracks with XRP's aggressive recent strides in institutional adoption and utility.
