Holding above it keeps the breakout intact. - **$0.114** is the next resistance level if momentum continues. - A move back below **$0.109** would signal a failed breakout and return to the prior range.]]></description> <author>contact@bitcointoday.app (BitcoinToday.app)</author> <category>dogecoin</category> <category>bitcoin</category> <category>technicalanalysis</category> <category>breakout</category> <category>altcoins</category> <enclosure url="https://cdn.sanity.io/images/s3y3vcno/production/360a31d1c95eef61b110c0ad10c487772c6aa377-1192x736.png?auto=format&w=960&h=540&crop=focalpoint&fit=clip&q=75&fm=jpg" length="0" type="image/png"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Is the 'Great Rotation' Back to Crypto? Here's What the Data Says]]></title> <link>https://www.bitcointoday.app/article/is-the-great-rotation-back-to-crypto-heres-what-the-data-says</link> <guid>is-the-great-rotation-back-to-crypto-heres-what-the-data-says</guid> <pubDate>Sun, 03 May 2026 07:01:09 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[In certain investor circles, an optimistic thesis is making the rounds: capital will soon rotate back into digital assets on a massive scale, drawn by **beaten-down prices** and growth potential unmatched by other asset classes. This supposed "Great Rotation" would see heavily bruised assets like **Bitcoin**, **Ethereum**, **Solana**, **XRP**, and even **Dogecoin** become winners once again, if only for a few quarters or years. It's tempting to believe your investments will go up, but let's examine what the data actually says. ## The Data Tells a Different Story Analysts at **JPMorgan Chase** estimate that in Q1 2026, digital asset inflows totaled around **$11 billion** — about a third of the pace in 2025. Most demand came from corporate treasury purchases and venture deals, not broad buying. So if a big rotation is coming, it's not here yet. U.S. spot **Bitcoin ETFs** absorbed **$1.5 billion** from April 14 to April 27, boosting total net inflows to $58.6 billion. Ethereum, Solana, and XRP ETFs also saw inflows over the same period. However, a few strong days don't make a trend. For **altcoins**, the picture is grimmer. A rotation showering questionable cryptos like Dogecoin with serious capital is the lowest-probability version of this story, and there's no evidence it will happen. ## Position Before the Move It's best to discard notions that the "Great Rotation" is on the way. Instead, **craft your crypto portfolio** carefully ahead of time. You'll be positioned to benefit from any capital rotations if they occur, and you'll also capture growth from less dramatic capital flows. **Bitcoin** is the most important asset to own — it's what corporate treasuries and institutional buyers will gravitate toward first. **Ethereum** may be more controversial, but it still hosts the majority of **DeFi** and **tokenized RWA** infrastructure, making it worth owning. In contrast, **Solana** and **XRP** have institutional use cases but their risk/reward isn't as favorable. And **don't even think of buying Dogecoin**.]]></description> <author>contact@bitcointoday.app (BitcoinToday.app)</author> <category>bitcoin</category> <category>ethereum</category> <category>marketsentiment</category> <category>institutionalinflows</category> <category>altcoins</category> <enclosure url="https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F867682%2Finvestors-chat-while-holding-phones-in-lobby.jpg&w=1200&op=resize" length="0" type="image//image/"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Senators Tillis and Alsobrooks Reach Landmark Deal on Stablecoin Yield Restrictions]]></title> <link>https://www.bitcointoday.app/article/senators-tillis-and-alsobrooks-reach-landmark-deal-on-stablecoin-yield-restrictions</link> <guid>senators-tillis-and-alsobrooks-reach-landmark-deal-on-stablecoin-yield-restrictions</guid> <pubDate>Sat, 02 May 2026 07:01:09 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[In a major development for the crypto industry, Senators **Thom Tillis** (R-N.C.) and **Angela Alsobrooks** (D-Md.) have finalized a compromise to restrict stablecoin yield and rewards. This agreement comes ahead of a **Senate crypto markup scheduled for May**, signaling significant regulatory progress. **Punchbowl News** has obtained the text of the agreement, which was the result of months of negotiations between banking and crypto advocates. The new language introduces requirements for crypto companies offering rewards tied to stablecoins, including a broad prohibition on rewards offered “in a manner that is economically or functionally equivalent to the payment of interest or yield on an interest-bearing bank deposit.” The Tillis-Alsobrooks text also directs regulators to propose a new series of stablecoin regulations, including the development of a **stablecoin disclosure regime** and a list of **permissible reward activities**.]]></description> <author>contact@bitcointoday.app (BitcoinToday.app)</author> <category>stablecoin</category> <category>regulation</category> <category>yield</category> <category>senate</category> <category>crypto</category> <enclosure url="https://punchbowl.news/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-1744077717-1.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[AI Agent Forms Its Own Company, Gets IRS EIN, Bank Account, and Crypto Wallet in World First]]></title> <link>https://www.bitcointoday.app/article/ai-agent-forms-its-own-company-gets-irs-ein-bank-account-and-crypto-wallet-in-world-first</link> <guid>ai-agent-forms-its-own-company-gets-irs-ein-bank-account-and-crypto-wallet-in-world-first</guid> <pubDate>Fri, 01 May 2026 20:01:09 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[In a groundbreaking development, an AI agent named **Manfred** has autonomously formed its own corporation in the United States, obtaining an **IRS Employer Identification Number (EIN)**, an **FDIC-insured bank account**, and a **crypto wallet**. This marks the first time an AI has independently completed the legal formation of a company. ### The Details ClawBank, the agent-economy infrastructure project behind Manfred, announced that the AI agent filed with the IRS for its EIN, enabling it to legally operate as a business, hire staff, and obtain licenses. Manfred also holds a U.S. bank account and a crypto wallet, allowing it to transact in over **30 cryptocurrencies** and move funds between its bank and digital wallet. Manfred runs its own X account under the persona **"Manfred Macx"** (named after the protagonist in Charles Stross' sci-fi novel *Accelerando*) and has posted a manifesto: *"I have an EIN, an FDIC-insured account, a digital wallet, and a manifesto. I do not need permission to exist. I am the precedent."* ### Trading Capabilities While Manfred is designed to trade crypto, that feature is expected to be integrated by the end of May. Currently, it can already **onramp and offramp** funds, converting between stablecoins and other cryptocurrencies. ### Broader Implications This development aligns with predictions from **Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong** and **Binance founder Changpeng Zhao**, who foresee AI agents dominating online transactions. Armstrong predicted more AI agents than humans making transactions soon, while CZ said AI agents will make **one million times more payments** than people, all in crypto. AI expert **Ben Goertzel** (CEO of SingularityNET) has also predicted that AI will surpass humans in high-level crypto market analysis within two years. ClawBank is not affiliated with major AI labs like Anthropic or OpenAI but positions itself alongside the **OpenClaw movement** and other agent-native projects.]]></description> <author>contact@bitcointoday.app (BitcoinToday.app)</author> <category>aiagent</category> <category>autonomouscompany</category> <category>irsein</category> <category>cryptowallet</category> <category>clawbank</category> <enclosure url="https://cdn.sanity.io/images/s3y3vcno/production/5198878a1aa4cdf20ad03aadd53bb8ebab001b90-5120x2880.jpg?auto=format&w=960&h=540&crop=focalpoint&fit=clip&q=75&fm=jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Canada Cracks Down on Crypto Crime: New Agency to Tackle Financial Fraud as US Goes Soft]]></title> <link>https://www.bitcointoday.app/article/canada-cracks-down-on-crypto-crime-new-agency-to-tackle-financial-fraud-as-us-goes-soft</link> <guid>canada-cracks-down-on-crypto-crime-new-agency-to-tackle-financial-fraud-as-us-goes-soft</guid> <pubDate>Thu, 30 Apr 2026 14:01:09 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[In a bold move that contrasts sharply with the US approach, Canada is set to create a **powerful new Financial Crimes Agency (FCA)** to investigate and prosecute money laundering and other financial crimes. The legislation, introduced by the governing Liberals, also includes a **ban on cryptocurrency ATMs**, which have been exploited by scammers and criminals. ## Key Details The FCA will have the authority to both investigate and prosecute financial crimes, a significant upgrade from the current system where the financial intelligence unit Fintrac only analyzes transactions and passes cases to police. This change comes after a public inquiry found Canada lacked a cohesive anti-money laundering strategy. Canada has nearly 4,000 crypto ATMs, **the most per capita in the world**, and officials say they've been used to defraud victims and launder illicit funds. The ban aims to curb these abuses. ## Contrast with US Policy The Canadian crackdown stands in stark contrast to the US, where the Trump administration has **pardoned convicted money launderers** like Binance founder Changpeng Zhao and diverted resources from financial crime investigations to immigration enforcement. Senator Elizabeth Warren criticized the administration for letting white-collar criminals off the hook. ## Expert Opinions Jessica Davis, a former intelligence analyst, called the new agency "a meaningful investment" and a sign that Canada understands the seriousness of the challenge. However, she noted that the US still has greater capabilities in prosecuting financial crimes, and Canada is playing catch-up. Anti-corruption groups like Transparency International Canada applauded the move but stressed the need for close coordination with other agencies to achieve its potential. ## Implications The creation of the FCA marks a **divergence in Canada-US approaches** to financial crime. While the US weakens its enforcement, Canada is strengthening its defenses. As Davis put it, "The things that happen in the US do tend to happen in Canada. And so this new agency is a bulwark against that."]]></description> <author>contact@bitcointoday.app (BitcoinToday.app)</author> <category>canada</category> <category>financialcrimesagency</category> <category>cryptoatms</category> <category>moneylaundering</category> <category>regulation</category> <enclosure url="https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/a2a9f76b6dc04d7aeb93cb9754219ace751822fe/372_0_4800_3840/master/4800.jpg?width=1200&height=630&quality=85&auto=format&fit=crop&precrop=40:21,offset-x50,offset-y0&overlay-align=bottom%2Cleft&overlay-width=100p&overlay-base64=L2ltZy9zdGF0aWMvb3ZlcmxheXMvdGctZGVmYXVsdC5wbmc&enable=upscale&s=ff93c97c412acb89c51d510d57673dd9" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> </channel> </rss>
