Bitcoin is the world's first decentralized cryptocurrency, created in 2009 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto. It enables peer-to-peer electronic cash transactions without intermediaries like banks or governments, operating on a blockchain secured by Proof of Work mining and the SHA-256 cryptographic algorithm.   With a fixed supply cap of 21 million coins and programmatic halvings every four years that reduce miner rewards, Bitcoin is designed as a deflationary digital asset often called "digital gold." Its value stems from solving the double-spending problem without trusted intermediaries, creating the first truly scarce digital asset with censorship resistance and permissionless access that no government, corporation, or individual can control.  Bitcoin operates as a decentralized peer-to-peer network where transactions are recorded on a public ledger called the blockchain, distributed across thousands of computers globally. Transactions are grouped into blocks added approximately every 10 minutes through mining, where specialized computers compete to solve complex mathematical puzzles.   Bitcoin has achieved mainstream adoption through multiple vectors. The January 2024 SEC approval of 11 spot Bitcoin ETFs opened Bitcoin investment to traditional finance participants, and corporations like Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) are using Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset to protect against currency debasement, offering MSTR holders amplified exposure to Bitcoin.   The Bitcoin ecosystem continues to evolve with innovations like Ordinals, which emerged in January 2023 to enable NFT-like functionality directly on Bitcoin, and BRC-20 tokens, an experimental standard for creating fungible tokens using Ordinal inscriptions. BTCFi (Bitcoin Finance) represents emerging financial applications extending beyond Bitcoin's traditional role, with protocols like Babylon allowing Bitcoin holders to stake BTC to secure Proof of Stake chains.

ETFs to Consider as Europe's Market Rally Continues

Europe's rally shows no signs of slowing and ETFs like VGK, EZU, BBEU, IEUR and FEZ are tracking the region's surging markets and strong earnings momentum.

Eurozone manufacturing activity has expanded so far in August, at the fastest pace since 2022, with new orders also growing at a rapid pace despite the onslaught of U.S. tariffs.The HCOB Flash Eurozone Manufacturing Purchasing Manager’s Index (PMI) came in at 50.5, compared with 49.8 in July, breaching the key mark of 50, which separates expansion from contraction. New orders also grew in August, ending a 14-month declining streak.“Despite headwinds like U.S. tariffs and general uncertainty, businesses across the eurozone seem to be coping reasonably well. The EU Single Market is likely playing a helpful role here, especially since most export and tourism revenues are generated within the EU,” Cyrus de la Rubia, Chief Economist at Hamburg Commercial Bank, said.Retail sentiment on Stocktwits <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/EZU">iShares MSCI Eurozone ETF</a> (EZU) was in the ‘neutral’ territory at the time of writing.The survey noted that the rise in manufacturing new orders was the first since April 2022. Germany, the Eurozone’s largest economy, also saw robust growth in manufacturing output. Eurozone companies continued to hire additional staff in August, extending the current sequence of job creation to six months.Late last month, the U.S. and the European Union agreed to a trade deal that included a 15% tariff on most European goods, including cars. While it was less than what Trump had initially threatened to slap on exports from the 27-nation bloc, the survey showed that orders from abroad have continued to slip in August.“U.S. trade policy is leaving its mark. Foreign orders in the eurozone manufacturing sector have declined for the second month in a row. Germany had been holding up well, possibly due to pre-emptive purchases from the U.S., but now it's also seeing a drop in orders,” de la Rubia noted.Also See: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/cryptocurrency/kanye-west-s-coin-pops-to-3-b-then-crashes-amid-crypto-frenzy/chsSYBWRdLF">Kanye West’s Coin Pops To $3B, Then Crashes Amid Crypto Frenzy</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

European ETFs Set to Gain as ECB Cuts Rate Again

European Central Bank Vice President Luis de Guindos <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.ecb.europa.eu/press/key/date/2025/html/ecb.sp250428~9e742b429b.en.html">warned</a> on Monday that volatile financial markets could lead to disorder, and trade wars may lead to credit risks."Sharp adjustments in financial markets could become disorderly, particularly if they are amplified by the growing size and influence of non-bank financial institutions. In addition, trade conflicts could pose challenges for both households and corporates, translating into rising credit risk for banks and non-banks alike,” he said while presenting the ECB’s 2024 Annual Report before European lawmakers.A combination of weaker growth and heightened spending needs could increase pressures on government finances, he added.Guindos also stressed the need for an effective crisis management and deposit insurance framework that extends to small and medium-sized banks, as well as progress on a European deposit insurance scheme.“The recent financial market turmoil also highlights that non-banks must be subject to robust rules, and that gaps in the regulatory framework need to be closed so they are not treated differently to [sic] regular banks,” he said.The ECB official expects inflation to hover around the central bank’s target but warned that global trade disruptions are adding uncertainty to the inflation outlook.“Declining energy prices, further wage moderation and a stronger euro could dampen inflation, potentially amplified by weaker demand for euro area exports and a re-routing of other countries’ exports into the euro area,” he stated. “Conversely, a fragmentation of global supply chains could raise import prices and hence inflation.”Earlier on Monday, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/scott-bessent-says-it-is-up-to-china-to-deescalate-tariff-wars/chQxzkARbhm">highlighted</a> the strengthening of the Euro against the dollar since the tariff wars commenced and said that European countries are likely to be in panic given the strengthening of their currency.“You’re going to see the [European Central Bank] start cutting rates to try to get the Euro back down,” Bessent stated. “Europeans don’t want a strong euro. We have a strong-dollar policy.”Meanwhile, after opening in the green, benchmark U.S. indices reversed their early morning gains. The <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SPY">SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (SPY)</a>, which tracks the S&amp;P 500, traded 0.29% lower while the Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 (QQQ) declined 0.67%.
