Digital Wealth Alpha Of The Week #15

Good morning Digital Asset investor,

We’re so back!
It’s so over!
We’re so back!
It’s so over!
We’re so back!…

Enjoying the market rollercoaster? Seems like we’re finding ourselves back on the up-and-to-the-right train by the end of this week. Are we winning? Let’s dive in.

1. Market Snapshot - Week #15.
   

   

   
   
   This week closed with equities tanking once again with the S&P plunging by 3.5%—BTC slipped 1% to $80.9k on Friday yet started to rise over the weekend showing strength among bottom calls, bull-run shouting and we’re so back memes. M2 supply is on a tear, as trade wars continue to challenge the status quo of “fly to safety” and “store of value” gold skyrocketed reaching new all-time highs and Bitcoin remain pretty unfazed, treasury yields surged again, Trump is pushing to remove Jerome Powell, and the US is weighing the possibility of delisting Chinese ADRs. One thing is sure, more volatility is guaranteed.
   
   
   

2. It’s so over!… We’re So Back!
   

   Arthur Hayes predicts this yield surge could drive Bitcoin into "UP ONLY mode," hinting that inflation fears might push investors to Bitcoin as a hedge, similar to gold and suggesting the FED will start injecting liquidity to counter economic slowdown.

   
   The chart shows the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield spiking to 4.5606% on April 11, 2025, a significant jump from 4.0% on April 3, reflecting investor fears of inflation or economic growth, which often makes bonds more attractive than riskier assets like Bitcoin.

   
   Historically, Bitcoin and Treasury yields often move inversely, but Hayes argues this relationship may break down if inflation expectations rise, a view supported by Bitcoin's past performance during inflationary periods like 2021 when it hit $69,000 amid rising CP

3. Max Kaiser calls for $220K Bitcoin.

   
   Max Keiser predicts Bitcoin will become the new world reserve currency, citing a loss of confidence in the U.S. dollar due to recent market actions and policies like tariffs, which have led to a 6.1% drop in the dollar's value in 2025 and slump to a 3-year low against the Euro.

4. Paul Atkins confirmed as new head of the SEC.

   
   Paul Atkins, confirmed as SEC chairman on April 9, 2025, is a pro-crypto advocate, signalling a shift from the SEC's previous enforcement-heavy approach to a more collaborative stance with the crypto industry.
   
   In his own words Atkins looks for “a solid regulatory base for digital assets.” Under his tenure Atkins will be looking to introduces regulatory clarity for crypto, with the SEC’s new Crypto Task Force aiming to distinguish securities from non-securities and create tailored disclosure frameworks

5. China and Russia already settling Oil trade with BTC.
   
   A recent report by VanEck reveals that Trump’s April 2025 tariffs on China and the EU are driving global trade tensions, pushing countries like China and Russia to settle energy trades in Bitcoin to bypass traditional financial systems
   

   The report suggests Bitcoin’s role as a neutral monetary asset is growing, as nations seek alternatives amid geopolitical fragmentation, with potential Federal Reserve rate cuts possibly boosting Bitcoin if tariffs harm GDP without causing inflation.

6. 21Shares launches Swiss Dogecoin ETB
   
   21Shares launched the first Dogecoin ETP ($DOGE/USD) on Swiss exchanges, backed by the Dogecoin Foundation, with a $5.00 NAV per unit, $1.2M AUM, and a 2.5% annual fee, enabling traditional investors to access Dogecoin without needing crypto wallets.

   
   The ETP, listed under the ticker DOGE, is 100% physically backed, offering a secure way to invest in Dogecoin, which started as a meme coin in 2013 but has grown into a widely recognized cryptocurrency with strong community support.

   
   This move reflects Dogecoin's shift from a cultural joke to a legitimate investment vehicle, potentially paving the way for widespread usage among speculation of strong ties with Elon Musk and his platform’s X plans for payment systems. Much wow!
