And once again, a billion-dollar crypto RWA project is ruggering its investors. The popular real-world asset coin called Mantra loses around USD 5 billion in market cap within a very short space of time.

Allegedly there were many sales via OTC. The founders are currently fighting a rugpull and trying to stabilize the situation - but so far in vain.

What can we learn from this?

No matter how "legit" a crypto project looks: Stay away from such altcoins / memecoins - especially if they are based in the UAE.

In the end, $BTC remains the only real choice in the crypto sector. Possibly $ETH, although this too has had massive performance slumps and continues to weaken.

Mantra investors will most likely never see their money again. Anyone still investing now is just gambling - I would almost recommend the casino.

STAY SAFE!

I think and hope that after today's sell-off even the last one has realized that we are moving deeper and deeper towards crypto winter.

Above all, it is becoming clear that $BTC (+0.55%) is not crisis-proof and will be sold off like everything else. From $SOL (+3.17%)
$ETH (+0.45%) and even more so $KAS (+1.36%) I don't even need to start 😕 Of course, I'm not closing my eyes completely and I know that you can also make a bit of money with dump and pump coins 🤑

My condolences to the people who are now deep in the red 😕

In recent days, I have been reading more and more that cryptocurrencies are decoupling from stock markets. Even that cryptocurrencies are currently much more stable than equities. On the one hand, I understand the thought process, especially if you invest in stocks like $ELF (+6.02%)
$HIMS (+1.78%)
$NU (+2.52%) etc invested in stocks.

On the other hand, many people forget that $ETH (+0.45%)
$SOL (+3.17%) etc have already lost more than 50% in value and are in a bear market. Only $BTC (+0.55%) is still holding up reasonably well, although it won't be long before $BTC (+0.55%) shares and other cryptocurrencies follow suit and suffer further losses. So the correlation is still there and it will not change. I hope you are still standing on the sidelines and have not yet dared to enter again 😕 The buying opportunities are yet to come 🤑

Metaplanet ($3350 (+7.6%)) has caused quite a stir in recent months - not only because of its growing Bitcoin holdings, but also because of the recent announcement of a 1:10 stock split. But why is this interesting?

1️⃣ What does Metaplanet do?

Metaplanet is a Japanese investment company that has been increasingly focusing on Bitcoin since 2023. This is very similar to MicroStrategy, which holds Bitcoin as a strategic asset. Metaplanet therefore allows you to invest indirectly in Bitcoin without buying crypto directly.

2️⃣ The stock split - what does it mean?

Metaplanet carried out a 1:10 split on 01.04.2025. This means:

✅ The share price becomes visually more favorable (better liquidity)

✅ The number of shares increases tenfold

✅ The market value of the company remains the same

Splits often lead to higher demand, as more investors feel psychologically attracted - a possible catalyst for share price increases.

3️⃣ Why is Metaplanet exciting?

✔ Bitcoin exposure without a crypto wallet

✔ Japanese regulation (high transparency)

✔ Still relatively unknown = potential for early investors

Metaplanet currently holds 117 BTC and plans to increase further. If Bitcoin rises in the coming years, Metaplanet could also benefit massively.

4️⃣ Note the risks!

⚠ Highly volatile - not a safe investment

⚠ Strong focus on BTC - if BTC falls, Metaplanet will also suffer

⚠ Japanese market - note trading hours & regulation

Conclusion: Interesting Bitcoin proxy

If you want to profit indirectly from Bitcoin without having to deal with wallets or exchanges, you could put Metaplanet on your watchlist. The stock split could provide short-term movement - but in the long term, everything depends on Bitcoin.

A bombshell for all crypto enthusiasts: the German government has made a drastic decision behind closed doors - from January 1, 2026, trading in cryptocurrencies is to be completely banned in Germany!

The reasons: Climate, tax evasion and consumer protection

According to official sources, the main reasons for this drastic step are the enormous energy consumption of cryptocurrencies, the increasing cases of tax evasion and the high risk of fraud for consumers.

"We can no longer stand idly by while cryptocurrencies destroy the environment, trick the tax authorities and rob bona fide citizens of their savings," says a leaked internal paper. Bitcoin in particular is in the spotlight due to its massive power consumption and the difficulty of tracing transactions.

Shock for investors - expropriation looming?

Not only trading, but also holding cryptocurrencies is to be made a punishable offense from 2026! Anyone who still owns Bitcoin & Co. will face heavy fines. The government is even planning a transitional phase in which citizens can report and surrender their holdings - a kind of "compulsory levy" to enable an orderly return to the regulated financial market. During this transition phase, citizens will have the opportunity to exchange their cryptocurrencies tax-free for the digital euro, which is to be introduced as a state-regulated digital currency.

"There is no future for speculative digital currencies in Germany," is the clear message. At the same time, banks are instructed to consistently block crypto transactions in future. Access to foreign exchanges could also be made more difficult through network blocks.

Industry in turmoil - fleeing underground?

The crypto community is furious. Experts warn that such a ban would only lead to trading shifting to illegal channels. Companies developing blockchain technology in Germany are talking about a "death blow for innovation" and threatening to move abroad.

Private individuals are also horrified. Many see their savings at risk and feel dispossessed. The reactions on social media are overwhelming - from anger and protest to gloomy predictions of an impending financial exodus from Germany.

What comes next?

There is still no official announcement, but the evidence is mounting. Critics see this step as a massive encroachment on financial freedom and are calling for an open dialog instead of a sudden total ban.

Is this really the end of Bitcoin & Co. in Germany? Or are we experiencing an April Fool's joke? $BTC (+0.55%)

Metaplanet ($3350 (+7.6%)) is causing a stir! The Japanese company, originally active in the real estate sector, has radically changed its strategy and now relies heavily on Bitcoin as its primary reserve currency - following the example of MicroStrategy.

🔥 The most important developments:

✅ Bitcoin purchases: Metaplanet has further increased its BTC holdings and now holds over 141 BTC. The strategy is clear: buy more Bitcoin and profit in the long term.

✅ Share split on April 1, 2025: Metaplanet is carrying out a 10:1 share split. This means that existing shareholders will receive ten new shares for each share. This will reduce the price per share without affecting the market capitalization, which could make the share more attractive to investors.

✅ Growth trajectory: Metaplanet is positioning itself as a Bitcoin holding company and could play a similar role in Asia as MicroStrategy in the US.

📊 Share price performance & potential

Since the realignment, the share has staged an impressive rally. With its strong dependence on Bitcoin, it could continue to rise - or fluctuate sharply if BTC corrects.

🚀 Opportunity or risk?

Metaplanet could establish itself as Japan's leading Bitcoin stock. But the strategy harbors risks if the Bitcoin price falls sharply.

💬 What do you think? Is Metaplanet a future MicroStrategy clone or is it still a speculative bet?

Hey everyone,

I'm still relatively new to trading. I have now read up extensively and, in addition to the conventional savings plans in ETFs, I intend to invest a fixed amount in crypto every month.

Does it make sense here to invest exclusively via a savings plan in $BTC (+0.55%) or should I split it between other assets such as $XRP (+0.46%) or $ETH (+0.45%) ? Would an ETF perhaps also be the right choice here?

Thank you in advance for your help!

The current Bitcoin price stands at 87,017 US dollars. In recent weeks, Bitcoin has experienced some volatility, with a drop of over 20% from its all-time high of USD 109,000 in January.

According to an analysis by MarketWatch, based on historical trends, Bitcoin could reach a high of USD 150,000 in this cycle. However, there are also more cautious estimates: Some analysts predict that the Bitcoin price could move within a range of USD 30,000 to USD 50,000 in the coming months.

The current Fear & Greed Index for cryptocurrencies is 45/100, which indicates a neutral market sentiment

Good morning GQ

Bitcoin has undergone an unprecedented development since its launch in 2009. From a niche project for tech enthusiasts to a recognized asset for institutional investors, the digital currency has continued to evolve. But what does the future hold?

1. mass adoption picks up speed

More and more companies and countries are recognizing Bitcoin as a legitimate means of payment. In El Salvador and the Central African Republic, BTC is already an official means of payment. Could other countries soon follow? The increasing acceptance by banks and payment providers such as PayPal and BlackRock shows that Bitcoin is well on its way to becoming a global alternative to traditional currencies.

2. bitcoin as digital gold?

Many see Bitcoin as a kind of digital gold - a store of value in times of economic uncertainty. As central banks around the world struggle with inflation, Bitcoin is gaining traction as a limited commodity (only 21 million coins). If this trend continues, Bitcoin could continue to serve as a hedge against fiat currency devaluation.

3. regulation: opportunity or risk?

Stricter regulation could play a major role in the coming years. While some fear that government intervention could jeopardize Bitcoin's decentralization, clear rules could provide more institutional trust. The question remains: Will regulation slow Bitcoin down or stabilize it?

4 Bitcoin after the 2024 halving

With the last halving in April 2024, the reward for miners was halved again. Historically, each halving has led to a new bull run. Will the pattern repeat itself? Or has the market already priced in this event?

5 Scalability and technological developments

With the Lightning Network and other innovations, Bitcoin could become faster and cheaper for transactions in the future. If second-layer solutions become more widespread, Bitcoin could become even more attractive as a means of payment.

Conclusion: Bitcoin remains exciting

Despite all the uncertainties, Bitcoin remains a unique asset with great potential. Whether as a store of value, means of payment or investment opportunity - the coming years will show whether Bitcoin can further consolidate its place in the global financial system.
