THE SAFE HAVEN ROTATION 🛟

BREAKING: Bitcoin Decoupling? BTC Rises as Equity Markets Swoon

Anyone getting déjà vu?

As the trade war drags on, stocks keep bleeding and the U.S. dollar keeps tumbling.

But this time, something’s different...

For the first time in months, Bitcoin and gold are rising together.

Bitcoin surged to a high of $88,500 today, up 12% since April 7.

In that same time, gold is up 15%, hitting an all-time high of $3,442/oz.

What’s driving this safe-haven surge?

Well…

Trump is once again blasting Fed Chair Jerome Powell, calling him a “major loser” and demanding immediate rate cuts.

That pressure - plus uncertainty over whether Trump might fire Powell - is shaking confidence in the Fed and the U.S. dollar.

Bonds are no longer seen as the reliable safe haven they once were.

Capital is now rotating into neutral assets: Bitcoin and gold.

Bitwise’s Juan Leon puts it best:

On top of this, the US Bitcoin ETFs are once again seeing significant inflows.

The safe-haven rotation has begun.

And Bitcoin is leading the charge. 🚀

RICH DAD SAYS: BITCOIN TO $200,000 💰

Robert Kiyosaki - the man behind Rich Dad, Poor Dad - is doubling down on Bitcoin.

This week, he tweeted:

This isn’t some moonboy on Twitter.

You’ve most likely heard of Robert Kiyosaki - he’s a real OG of the investing world.

This is a man who’s spent decades preaching hard money, debt cycles, and the collapse of fiat.

And now? He’s pointing straight at Bitcoin.

Why Kiyosaki is so confident

Because for him, this is textbook end-of-empire stuff.

• The U.S. is buried in debt 📉

• The Fed is boxed in 🧯

• And fiat currencies? Being printed into oblivion 🖨️

Kiyosaki’s playbook has always been simple:

But in recent years, he’s added one more: Bitcoin.

The Rich Dad thesis:

Governments can’t print it.

They can’t freeze it.

They can’t inflate it away.

That’s why he’s betting Bitcoin could 2x… before the end of the year.

And if you’re wondering whether it’s too late to buy?

Ask yourself this:

Would “Rich Dad” realistically be stacking Bitcoin at $84,000 if he didn’t think it was still early? 🧠

WHALE WATCHING 🐋

Today we’re checking in on one of the market’s most powerful sentiment signals:

The Bitcoin Whale Wallet Count.

This metric tracks the number of addresses holding 1,000+ BTC, aka the deep-pocketed players with the most conviction and the least FOMO.

Why this metric matters:

Whales don’t chase. They accumulate early.

Watching their behaviour gives us a front-row seat to what the smart money is thinking.

For context, 1,000 BTC = ~$87.18 million at today’s prices.

According to Glassnode, the number of whale wallets has jumped from 2,037 in late February to 2,098 today.

That’s a 4-month high - and takes us back to levels not seen since the Trump-fueled November–December 2024 rally.

And it’s not just the mega-whales accumulating.

Addresses holding 100+ BTC are rising too, now sitting at 18,026.

Whales aren’t waiting for a breakout - they’re front-running the next leg up, and stacking at levels that historically precede big moves.

With Bitcoin reclaiming $87K, this data backs the bullish case.

Whales are acting like the next leg is coming fast. 🚀
