Connors, who spent years as the global head of portfolio management at Credit Suisse, said bitcoin recently broke out of what had been its **longest stretch of underperformance** against the S&P 500 in history, a 142-day period that ended in early May. > "I think bitcoin’s underperformance versus markets is over. It’s in the consolidation phase that has shifted into an outperformance phase." The shift comes as investors grapple with **stubborn inflation**, rising oil prices and uncertainty around interest rates. Connors argued that bonds, traditionally viewed as defensive assets, are increasingly under pressure as markets adjust to a **"higher-for-longer"** rate environment. > "Bitcoin, as it always does, takes it on the chin early, but then it always comes out first," he said, adding that bitcoin could continue outperforming both equities and fixed income "as we grind through the straits of poor news and oil persistently being high." Connors tied much of the current macro environment to persistent geopolitical tensions and elevated energy prices. Oil has remained structurally high this year, fueling inflation concerns while forcing markets to look toward technology and productivity gains as a counterweight. He argued that **AI and blockchain** are becoming increasingly linked as businesses look for decentralized systems to support machine-driven transactions and automation. > "The only way to punch through that inflationary pressure is through technology." He also pointed to shifting investor preferences between gold and bitcoin. Connors compared the current environment to 2020, when gold initially outperformed during the early stages of the pandemic before bitcoin began a strong resurgence. > "Gold has had its run. Bitcoin is now on its resurgence."]]></description> <author>contact@bitcointoday.app (BitcoinToday.app)</author> <category>bitcoin</category> <category>marketoutperformance</category> <category>inflation</category> <category>goldvsbitcoin</category> <category>aiandblockchain</category> <enclosure url="https://cdn.sanity.io/images/s3y3vcno/production/4f8f6d1e4c3c206e95b1ee4a8c8f73a1353d044a-3656x1928.jpg?auto=format&w=960&h=540&crop=focalpoint&fit=clip&q=75&fm=jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Bitcoin Plunges to $74,300 as $2.26 Billion Flees Spot ETFs in Two Weeks]]></title> <link>https://www.bitcointoday.app/article/bitcoin-plunges-to-74-300-as-226-billion-flees-spot-etfs-in-two-weeks</link> <guid>bitcoin-plunges-to-74-300-as-226-billion-flees-spot-etfs-in-two-weeks</guid> <pubDate>Sat, 23 May 2026 14:01:10 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[Bitcoin is rapidly losing ground as investors pull out billions of dollars from U.S.-listed spot ETFs. The world's largest cryptocurrency fell to **$74,305** early Saturday, its lowest level since April 20, according to CoinDesk data. As of writing, BTC was down more than 3% over the past 24 hours and approximately **10% below its recent high** of over $82,500 reached on May 6. The sell-off accompanies a notable upswing in **U.S. Treasury yields** and parallel increases in government bond yields across developed markets, which are reducing appetite for high-risk, zero-yielding assets like bitcoin. ## Massive ETF Outflows Investors withdrew **$1.26 billion** from U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs this week, the largest single-week outflow since January, following roughly $1 billion in outflows the previous week. In total, the funds have seen **more than $2.26 billion** in redemptions over the past two weeks. ## Capital Rotates to Commodities and Pre-IPO Bets Meanwhile, commodities such as oil, copper, and sulfur are seeing strong flows of speculative money as markets continue to price in potential supply disruptions through the Strait of Hormuz due to the Iran conflict. One theory also points to capital being redirected toward **SpaceX's anticipated IPO**, with several blockchain-based pre-market derivatives tied to the event already seeing millions in trading volume on blockchain-based platforms.]]></description> <author>contact@bitcointoday.app (BitcoinToday.app)</author> <category>bitcoin</category> <category>etfs</category> <category>marketcrash</category> <category>macro</category> <category>crypto</category> <enclosure url="https://cdn.sanity.io/images/s3y3vcno/production/e2b250769dc24dc65d4b356ebe19b24e3646ea3c-2914x1089.png?auto=format&w=960&h=540&crop=focalpoint&fit=clip&q=75&fm=jpg" length="0" type="image/png"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Doug Liman's AI-Powered Bitcoin Movie Casts Bezos, Zuckerberg, and Putin as Characters]]></title> <link>https://www.bitcointoday.app/article/doug-limans-ai-powered-bitcoin-movie-casts-bezos-zuckerberg-and-putin-as-characters</link> <guid>doug-limans-ai-powered-bitcoin-movie-casts-bezos-zuckerberg-and-putin-as-characters</guid> <pubDate>Fri, 22 May 2026 20:01:10 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[**EXCLUSIVE**: Hold onto your crypto. This could get interesting. It turns out Doug Liman's much-discussed AI-enabled satire *Bitcoin*, starring Casey Affleck, Pete Davidson, Gal Gadot, and Isla Fisher, will also feature some well-known supporting characters. Versions of **Jeff Bezos**, **Mark Zuckerberg**, **Jack Dorsey**, **Vladimir Putin**, **Kim Jong Un**, and **Eric Trump** are set to populate the movie. The film follows a man's quest to prove he created Bitcoin, a claim that puts his life in peril and sets off a high-stakes race between tech billionaires and world leaders with the financial system hanging in the balance. We understand Bezos, Zuckerberg, et al. have initially been portrayed by actors on camera, but the performances will likely undergo some level of **AI enhancement** to better resemble the real figures. Approvals from those actors for AI changes have already been agreed, according to previous casting notices. Zuckerberg reportedly has the most lines among the public figures, while Eric Trump, the businessman and crypto proponent second son of President Trump, will be featured hawking “Trump coin” and in one scene is depicted in the orbit of a stripper. There will also be a fleeting nod to Elon Musk. None of the figures are main characters, but the team has done plenty of due diligence with lawyers, leaning into the project as satire, similar to *SNL* or *South Park*. Either way, a much-discussed project has added more lightning rods to its armory. The project has generated headlines for its prominent use of **AI**. The movie will employ a “markerless performative capture stage” instead of any location shooting and was shot in only 20 days. According to Liman, the AI tech means the film can be made at a still hefty **$70 million** rather than $200–300 million. For its AI, the filmmakers are tapping into producer Ryan Kavanaugh’s proprietary AI within his ACME AI label, as well as Liman’s proprietary PECAN (Performance Capture Animation) process. The film is understood to align with the **AI guidelines of the Hollywood guilds**. The film sees Hollywood vet Liman reconnect with Oscar winner Affleck, who stars as computer scientist **Craig Wright**. Wright has publicly claimed to be the main part of the team that created Bitcoin and the identity behind the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto. However, in 2024, the British High Court ruled that Wright is **not Nakamoto** and must stop claiming he is. The film is in post-production, with Patrick Wachsberger’s 193 selling at the Cannes market.]]></description> <author>contact@bitcointoday.app (BitcoinToday.app)</author> <category>bitcoin</category> <category>ai</category> <category>movie</category> <category>dougliman</category> <category>crypto</category> <enclosure url="https://deadline.com/wp-content/themes/pmc-deadline-2019/assets/build/images/logo-black.svg" length="0" type="image/svg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[New Bill Seeks to Lock In Strategic Bitcoin Reserve for 20 Years – Is It a Game Changer?]]></title> <link>https://www.bitcointoday.app/article/new-bill-seeks-to-lock-in-strategic-bitcoin-reserve-for-20-years-is-it-a-game-changer</link> <guid>new-bill-seeks-to-lock-in-strategic-bitcoin-reserve-for-20-years-is-it-a-game-changer</guid> <pubDate>Thu, 21 May 2026 20:01:31 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[A bipartisan bill introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives aims to **enshrine a strategic Bitcoin reserve into federal law**, cementing one of President Trump's key campaign promises for the crypto industry. ### What the ARMA Act Proposes The **American Reserve Modernization Act (ARMA)**, introduced by Rep. Nick Begich (R-AK) and co-led by Rep. Jared Golden (D-ME), would: - Direct the **Treasury Department** to create and maintain a **Bitcoin reserve** for at least **20 years**. - Establish a **stockpile for other cryptocurrencies** held by the government. - Consolidate billions of dollars in digital assets currently held across federal agencies (from forfeitures and penalties). - Require a **proof-of-reserve report** for transparency. ### Why It Matters President Trump created a strategic Bitcoin reserve via executive order in May 2025, but its implementation has been slow. The ARMA Act would give it the **"weight of law"** and protect it from political shifts. As Rep. Golden stated, "Administrations have auctioned [crypto] off or held it in reserve, according to the whims of the executive branch." ### Challenges and Criticism - **Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent** has ruled out any agency purchases of Bitcoin, dampening hopes for large-scale acquisitions. - Critics like Rep. Maxine Waters argue that **crypto has no inherent value** and shouldn't be treated as a strategic reserve asset. - The bill faces an uphill battle in Congress, especially with the midterm elections approaching. ### The Bigger Picture The ARMA Act is part of a broader push to legitimize Bitcoin as a **national reserve asset**. Similar efforts include Sen. Cynthia Lummis's **BITCOIN Act**, which proposes purchasing 1 million Bitcoin over five years. While the bill has 17 original co-sponsors, its fate remains uncertain. However, it signals a growing bipartisan interest in **integrating Bitcoin into the U.S. financial system**.]]></description> <author>contact@bitcointoday.app (BitcoinToday.app)</author> <category>bitcoinreserve</category> <category>armaact</category> <category>uscryptoregulation</category> <category>bipartisanbill</category> <category>strategicreserve</category> <enclosure url="https://cdn.decrypt.co/resize/1024/height/512/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Bitcoin-America-decrypt-style-01-gID_7.png" length="0" type="image/png"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Trump's Truth Social Pulls Bitcoin ETF Application Amid Fee War]]></title> <link>https://www.bitcointoday.app/article/trumps-truth-social-pulls-bitcoin-etf-application-amid-fee-war</link> <guid>trumps-truth-social-pulls-bitcoin-etf-application-amid-fee-war</guid> <pubDate>Wed, 20 May 2026 14:01:29 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[The firm behind Donald Trump's social media platform Truth Social has withdrawn its applications for Bitcoin and Bitcoin-Ethereum ETFs, citing a shift in regulatory strategy. Trump Media & Technology Group filed to withdraw its Form S-1 registrations, stating it "has determined to withdraw the Registration Statement and not to pursue the public offering at this time." Yorkville America, the sponsor and investment advisor for Truth Social funds, said the move allows more flexibility under the '40 Act, which enables "more differentiated investment strategies" compared to the '33 Act framework. However, Bloomberg Research Analyst **James Seyffart** offered a different interpretation, pointing to a **"more competitive landscape"** for spot Bitcoin ETFs following the launch of Morgan Stanley's MSBT in April. **Morgan Stanley's Bitcoin ETF** has undercut competitors with a **market-leading 0.14% annual expense ratio**, compared to Grayscale's Bitcoin Mini Trust at 15 basis points and both BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust and Fidelity's Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund at 25 basis points. The U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF market has attracted **$57.4 billion in cumulative inflows** since SEC approval in January 2024. The ETFs are the latest crypto ventures linked to the Trump family, which have included Trump-themed NFT collections, the TRUMP meme coin, and the World Liberty Financial DeFi platform. Trump's ties to crypto have become a political flashpoint, with House Judiciary Democrats accusing the White House of operating "the world's most corrupt crypto startup operation."]]></description> <author>contact@bitcointoday.app (BitcoinToday.app)</author> <category>bitcoinetf</category> <category>trumpmedia</category> <category>truthsocial</category> <category>feecompetition</category> <category>morganstanley</category> <enclosure url="https://cdn.decrypt.co/resize/1024/height/512/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Trump-decrypt-style-06-gID_7.png" length="0" type="image/png"/> </item> </channel> </rss>
