Bitcoin has cemented its position as a top investment option heading into 2025, with US spot Bitcoin ETFs not only outperforming major ETFs such as SPY, QQQ, VGT, GLD, and AGG, but also outpacing the combined inflows of all major sector ETFs, totaling $3.7 billion year-to-date, compared to $2.3 billion for Utilities and $1.0 billion for Tech. While sectors such as Financials, Energy, Healthcare, and Industrials have seen billions in net outflows, Bitcoin’s dominance reflects a significant shift of capital away from traditional asset classes. This trend underscores Bitcoin’s transition from a niche asset to a core portfolio staple, signaling a structural shift in the global investment landscape and highlighting its growing role as a core allocation in the ETF market. 0 reply

Despite their geopolitical rivalry, the United States and China have forged a surprising partnership in artificial intelligence research, as highlighted by data from Georgetown University’s Emerging Technology Observatory. Over the past decade, researchers from these two nations have co-authored more than 46,000 AI papers, outpacing any other international collaboration. This cooperation, involving elite institutions like Stanford, MIT, and Tsinghua University, has driven significant advancements in fields such as machine learning and natural language processing. While tensions persist between the two powers, their shared efforts in AI demonstrate a unique intersection of competition and collaboration, yielding breakthroughs that shape the global technological landscape. 0 reply

Over the past two years, the Nasdaq has gained 80%, while Bitcoin has gained 386% — albeit with average declines of 20%. Both markets have seen notable corrections, ranging from 7% to 13% for the Nasdaq, largely triggered by weak US jobs data, recession fears, and Japan’s surprise rate hike that rattled global carry trades. Tech giants like Nvidia have been hit especially hard by profit-taking, but have managed to recover in line with the broader market recovery.
Despite the possibility of more volatility as central banks keep interest rates higher, the main positives still line up across both markets: a supportive policy environment in the US, strong institutional inflows, and continued innovation — be it AI in stocks or blockchain in cryptocurrencies. Inflationary pressures and tariff wars remain concerns, but the overall trajectory is tilted toward growth 0 reply

Tracking 12‑Month Average User Retention Across Blockchain Networks
While all networks experience a decline in user retention over time, the extent of that decline differs considerably. For example, Near retains 16% of its users after 12 months, suggesting strong engagement likely due to factors like user-friendly design, active community involvement, or unique ecosystem features. In contrast, networks like Sei Network and Avalanche only retain about 3% of their users after the same period, highlighting challenges in maintaining long‑term user engagement. Overall, the variation in retention rates underscores that beyond initial adoption, elements such as a compelling long‑term value proposition, continuous ecosystem development, and a positive user experience are critical for sustaining user loyalty. This insight is particularly valuable for developers and investors assessing the long-term viability of different blockchain environments. 0 reply

Foreign investors are pulling money out of Asian equities, excluding China, due to concerns over high stock valuations and geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. This shift has led to a net divestment of $7.61 billion in countries like India, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, South Korea, Taiwan, and the Philippines, contrasting with last month's net purchases of $759 million driven by optimism over potential U.S. rate cuts. Simultaneously, investors are redirecting funds into Chinese and Hong Kong stocks following Beijing's stimulus measures, with $5.81 billion flowing into China-focused funds. Indian stocks experienced significant outflows of $5.35 billion in October, largely due to disappointing corporate results and valuation concerns, while other markets like Taiwan, South Korea, Thailand, and Indonesia also saw notable outflows. 0 reply

Canadian and international companies such as Hut 8, Hive, Nexon and Phoenix Digital Assets are also accumulating Bitcoin. Combined, these companies hold over 340,000 BTC, reflecting strong institutional confidence. Bitcoin ETFs have further fueled accumulation, adding over 91,000 BTC recently, bringing total control to around 1.24 million Bitcoin, or 6.29% of the total supply. 0 reply
