01st May: Blockchain DXB podcast🎙️
📊Financial Stability Report by FED ⚫BlackRock to Tokenize150 billion Treasury Trust fund ❗XRP ETF + DOGE ETF delayed 🚨SEC ends PayPal PYUSD probe
📊Financial Stability Report – April 2025, published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. This biannual report provides an assessment of the resilience of the U.S. financial system and outlines potential risks to financial stability. The April 2025 edition reflects market conditions and data as of April 11, 2025 Report here https://shorturl.at/QYklE Federal Reserve Board
💯 Impact on Bitcoin?
- The Fed’s April 2025 report paints a picture of increased macro stress, tightening liquidity, and cautious credit markets—factors that may initially pressure Bitcoin’s price. However, the same dynamics could strengthen BTC's long-term appeal as a hedge against systemic financial risks, fiat debasement, and market distortions.
🔻 Negative Pressures on Bitcoin & Crypto:
- Tight Liquidity & Market Volatility
- High Interest Rates & Treasury Yields
- Increased Financial Leverage Unwinding
- Tighter Credit & Delinquencies
✅Possible Supporting Factors:
- Moderate Systemic Risk
- Continued Weakness in Traditional Assets
- Monetary Policy & Debt Sustainability Concerns
⚫BlackRock has filed with the SEC to launch a blockchain-based share class—DLT Shares—for its $150B Treasury Trust Fund, in partnership with BNY Melon. These shares won’t hold crypto but will use blockchain to mirror ownership records, aiming to modernise fund infrastructure and drive tokenisation adoption. This follows BlackRock’s earlier move with its $1.7B BUIDL fund on Solana, created with Securitize. CEO Larry Fink continues to promote tokenisation and recently warned that U.S. debt mismanagement could push investors toward digital assets like Bitcoin. Filing here https://shorturl.at/f1xbI
❗SEC Delay on Franklin XRP ETF Decision on April 29, 2025
- The Cboe BZX Exchange filed a proposal with the SEC to list and trade shares of the Franklin XRP Fund, a crypto-based ETF.
- The SEC has extended the decision deadline from May 3 to June 17, 2025, under authority provided by the Securities Exchange Act.
- This extension allows the Commission more time to evaluate the rule change and issues raised.
🟣The SEC has dropped its 15-month probe into PayPal’s PYUSD stablecoin with no action taken. This comes as Congress pushes new stablecoin regulations and the SEC softens its stance under new leadership. PYUSD, issued by Paxos and backed by U.S. dollar assets, now has a market cap of $880M and recently partnered with Coinbase to boost adoption. Info via Decrypt here https://shorturl.at/t0JXH

🎙️ Blockchain DXB — 30th April 2025 | AI Takeover Series
🧠 This episode is 100% created by AI using Notebook LM by Google and is part of our Blockchain DXB AI series: AI Takeover.
📈 Bitcoin ETF > Gold ETF
Bitcoin ETFs have outpaced Gold ETFs with $3 billion in inflows over the past five trading days, while Gold ETFs saw $1 billion in outflows.
The $4B gap is the largest since the 2020 U.S. elections.
Analysts suggest this trend reflects declining demand for U.S. assets, amid rising Treasury yields and reduced foreign interest in long-term Treasuries.
📖 Full article via Decrypt: Read here
⚖️ Celsius CEO Alex Mashinsky — 20 Years in Prison?
U.S. prosecutors are pushing for a 20-year sentence for former Celsius CEO Alex Mashinsky.
Accused of leading a $7 billion fraud by misleading users and manipulating the CEL token for personal gain.
DOJ labels it a "deliberate, calculated" scheme.
Sentencing scheduled for May 8.
🐶 Dogecoin ETF Update
Nasdaq has filed to list the 21Shares Dogecoin ETF, tracking the price of DOGE.
Competing filings from Grayscale and Bitwise also under SEC review.
Meanwhile, Rex Shares is pursuing a 40 Act Dogecoin ETF, with a faster review timeline.
The Dogecoin Foundation calls this a key step toward mainstream adoption.
📄 Official SEC 19B-4 Filing: View here
💰 PolitiFi Market Explodes — TRUMP & MELANIA Dominate
The official TRUMP and MELANIA tokens now make up 95% of the $3.3B PolitiFi market.
TRUMP token reached a $2.97B market cap, while MELANIA follows at $180.4M.
Older political meme coins like maga, BODEN, TREMP, and KAMA have dropped over 98%.
Trump still holds 579,290 unofficial TRUMP tokens, once worth $10M, now valued at just $118K.
His largest current crypto holding is TROG (~$915K) — never moved.

30th April: Blockchain DXB podcast🎙️
🟠Bitcoin ETF > Gold ETF 🎙️Celsius - Alex Mashinsky 20 yrs in Prison? 🚀PolitiFi - TRUMP and MELANIA ❗Dogecoin ETF update
🚀 Bitcoin ETF Outpaces Gold as Investors Seek Better Hedge Against U.S. Assets
🟠Bitcoin ETF have seen over $3 billion in inflows over the past five trading days, while gold ETF lost $1 billion, creating a $4 billion gap—the largest since the U.S. presidential election in November. Analysts from Standard Chartered and State Street Markets suggest this shift reflects waning demand for U.S. assets, as seen in rising Treasury yields and falling foreign interest in long-term Treasuries. More information on this via Decrypt https://shorturl.at/sF0VP
🎙️Check out the Blockchain DXB for our commentary on this
⚡Federal prosecutors want Alex Mashinsky, ex-CEO of Celsius, to serve 20 years for leading a fraud that caused $7 billion in losses. He misled users about fund safety and manipulated the CEL token for personal gain. At Celsius’s peak in 2021, it held over $20 billion in assets, but prosecutors say the company made risky moves, issued uncollateralized loans, and misused customer funds—all while falsely promoting safety and transparency. The DOJ calls it a “deliberate, calculated” scheme.
Sentencing is set for May 8.
🚨Nasdaq Seeks Approval to List 21Shares Dogecoin ETF
❗Nasdaq has filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for a rule change to list a 21Shares Dogecoin ETF, which would track the meme coin’s price. Bitwise and Grayscale have also filed for similar Dogecoin ETFs, with the SEC already reviewing Grayscale Investments’s application. All three firms aim to offer commodity-based trusts, while Rex Shares may beat them to market with a separate 40 Act Dogecoin ETF, which has a faster 75-day review window. The Dogecoin Foundation’s House of DOGE supports 21Shares’ effort, calling it a step toward mainstream adoption. Official filing 19B form here https://shorturl.at/ni0IF
🚀PolitiFi Market
-Official TRUMP and MELANIA Tokens Dominate $3.3B PolitiFi Market
The official TRUMP and MELANIA tokens now command 95% of the $3.3 billion PolitiFi market, effectively wiping out older meme coins. Since launching in January 2025, TRUMP has reached a $2.97B market cap, while MELANIA sits at $180.4M. Meanwhile, early Politifi tokens like unofficial TRUMP (maga), BODEN, TREMP, and KAMA have collapsed—some by over 98%, with liquidity nearly vanishing.
❗Trump still holds 579,290 of the unofficial TRUMP tokens, once worth $10M, now valued at just $118K. His largest crypto holding is TROG, another airdrop, worth about $915K—none of which he’s ever moved.
