Cryptoverse: As markets question US exceptionalism, bitcoin starts to shine

The cryptocurrency has shown impressive resilience, outperforming traditional U.S. stocks and even gold in recent months. Analysts suggest heightened interest in Bitcoin, as it exhibits unique trading patterns distinct from equity markets. With increasing investment flows into digital asset funds, Bitcoin is expected to continue to rise, potentially reaching new record highs in the near future.

Trading volumes and interest in cryptocurrencies have increased, and experts predict bitcoin could reach all-time highs of $150,000 by 2025.

Global Bond Markets Slip Into a Tailspin, but Could This Be India’s Moment to Shine?

Global bond markets are experiencing turbulence, with rising yields in the US and Japan due to fiscal concerns. This has heightened investor risk aversion and prompted a shift toward stable, high-yielding destinations like India. India's macroeconomic stability and attractive yields position it as an appealing option for global capital. Experts suggest that capital outflows from US assets may benefit Indian equities and debt, given India's promising growth prospects and relative insulation from global yield movements.

Short on cash, El Salvador doubles down on Bitcoin dream

El Salvador is doubling down on its Bitcoin dream despite economic challenges, with President Nayib Bukele pushing ahead with plans to make the country a cryptocurrency haven.

Critics question the decision to invest taxpayer dollars into a risky asset, while most Salvadorans remain hesitant about using Bitcoin due to concerns about its volatility and lack of understanding. Nevertheless, Bukele's Bitcoin swing has rebranded El Salvador and boosted tourism.
