What Should the Best Bitcoin (BTC) – Gold Allocation Be Like? Wall Street Giant Citi Reveals!

The rivalry between Bitcoin ($BTC) and gold has been ongoing for a long time. Some analysts advocate for Bitcoin, others for gold, while some argue that both should be included in portfolios.

At this point, Citi, one of the most important names on Wall Street, also states that both $BTC and gold should be included in portfolios.

Citi analyst Alex Saunders said that a portfolio allocation of gold and Bitcoin is better than a traditional portfolio mix.

According to CNBC, a study by Citi found that adding gold and Bitcoin together to portfolios has increased the efficiency of bond and stock portfolios over the past 10 years.

According to this research, combining gold and Bitcoin in a portfolio increased returns without increasing risk.

In this context, Citi analyst Alex Saunders stated that investors perform better by holding small amounts of both gold and Bitcoin, rather than preferring one over the other.

“A 5% investment in gold significantly increases portfolio efficiency. Dividing this investment between gold and Bitcoin further enhances performance.”

The Citi analyst concluded by adding that a mixed allocation of gold and Bitcoin has been helpful during bullish periods in bond markets and during downturns driven by fiscal concerns and rising inflation risks.

Bitcoin steadies as Iran reopens Hormuz but Trump keeps crypto-fuelled oil squeeze

Iran's move to fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz while Donald Trump keeps Iran's ships under blockade has left oil and Bitcoin trading the ceasefire headline by headline.

Iran says the Strait of Hormuz is fully open to commercial traffic again.

Trump vows the US naval blockade on Iranian ships and ports "will remain in full force."

Bitcoin holds near war-zone ranges as oil traders weigh partial relief for supply.

Iran's announcement that it has fully reopened the Strait of Hormuz has eased the worst energy shock fears, but President Donald Trump's decision to maintain a US naval blockade on Iranian ships and ports has kept oil and crypto markets on edge. Around 20% of the world's oil normally moves through the strait, making it one of the most important chokepoints for global energy and a key macro driver for Bitcoin's btc5.04% Bitcoin role as a geopolitical hedge.

Circle unveils USDC Bridge for native cross-chain stablecoin transfers



Stablecoin issuer Circle has launched $USDC Bridge, enabling users to transfer $USDC natively between at least 17 blockchains without needing to rely on wrapped or synthetic tokens.

On Friday, Circle’s $USDC X account said the bridge allows users to move the $USDC ($USDC) stablecoin in a “predictable, transparent way,” citing a native burn-and-mint transfer mechanism and no bridge complexities.

Gas fees will be handled automatically, fees will be shown upfront, and live status updates will be provided throughout the transfer, Circle added.

Source: Circle

The $USDC Bridge builds on Circle’s Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP), which was introduced in April 2023 and facilitates hundreds of millions of stablecoin transfers each day.

Cross-chain bridges seek to make the broader crypto ecosystem interoperable, functioning as a unified network rather than a collection of fragmented, isolated blockchains.

Making bridges as simple and easy to use as possible has been an area of focus for many crypto infrastructure firms.

In the past, bridges have confused users and arguably slowed crypto adoption, especially for beginners struggling to navigate bridge interfaces, trade routes and gas fees.

$USDC Bridge supports over a dozen blockchains

Cointelegraph found that $USDC Bridge supports $USDC transfers between at least 17 Ethereum Virtual Machine-compatible blockchains, including Ethereum, Avalanche, Arbitrum, Base, Monad, Optimism, Polygon, Sonic and World Network.

Goldman Sachs и Morgan Stanley сделали крупную ставку на биткоин. «Уолл-стрит буквально пришла»

Если раньше принятие криптовалют на Уолл-стрит происходило с перебоями, то на этой неделе все изменилось.

Не только некоторые из самых влиятельных банков и финансовых институтов погружаются в цифровые активы, но и совершенствуют продукты для своих более консервативных клиентов.

Компания Goldman Sachs, управляющая активами на сумму 3,6 триллиона долларов, наконец-то зарегистрировала биржевой фонд биткоина. В отличие от спотового биткоин-ETF BlackRock, который официально является крупнейшим криптовалютным ETF на рынке, продукт Goldman имеет уникальную особенность.

А именно, фонд редко контактирует с реальным биткоином.

Вместо этого, Goldman Sachs Bitcoin Premium Income ETF состоит в основном из других спотовых биткоин-ETF. Затем он продает опционы колл на эти фонды, чтобы предложить инвесторам стабильную доходность.

South Korea's Unification Ministry pushed back Friday against reports that Washington had expressed displeasure and threatened to limit intelligence sharing after a South Korean minister publicly identified a previously undisclosed North Korean nuclear facility.The controversy stems from remarks made by Unification Minister Chung Dong-young during a parliamentary hearing on March 6, where he stated that North Korea operates a uranium enrichment facility in Kusong — a site not previously confirmed publicly — in addition to the widely known facilities at Yongbyon and Kangson. South Korean officials said Chung's comments were grounded in publicly available information, including reports from international research institutions, and that Washington had acknowledged this explanation.The report, published by South Korean newspaper Dong-A Ilbo and citing sources from both countries, claimed the United States had signaled its intention to partially curtail North Korea-related intelligence sharing with Seoul. According to the report, Chung's disclosure served as the immediate trigger, but broader frustrations over a series of foreign policy and security disagreements between the two allies had been building for some time.A ministry spokesperson confirmed that following an inquiry from the U.S. Embassy in Seoul, South Korea provided a thorough background briefing on the minister's statements and believed the explanation had been accepted. Officials added that they were not aware of any formal protest or active restrictions on intelligence sharing.Adding to the complexity, Minister Chung had attributed his Kusong claim to statements made by International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Rafael Grossi during an IAEA board meeting. However, a review of the official IAEA transcript shows Grossi's remarks referenced only Yongbyon and Kangson, with no mention of Kuso
