Former US President Donald Trump mentioned in an interview with Fox that Bitcoin could be used to repay the US government's debt of up to 35 trillion US dollars and avoid an imminent debt crisis. Trump stated: "Maybe we'll repay the $35 trillion (national debt) with a little encrypted currency check, right? We'll give them a little bit of Bitcoin and then we'll wipe out our $35 trillion."

Revolut Launches Staking Feature for Six Cryptocurrencies, Allowing Users to Earn Rewards
Revolut, a prominent digital bank, has introduced a staking feature that enables users to temporarily lock funds to secure a cryptocurrency's network and earn rewards. The staking process is simple and easy to use, and currently supports six cryptocurrencies: Ethereum, Solana, Polkadot, Cardano, Tezos, and Polygon. The rewards for staking vary depending on the amount of crypto staked and the chosen cryptocurrency, with APYs ranging from 2.09% to 12.30%. However, some cryptocurrencies have lock-up periods before users can access their balances. Revolut users can stake Ethereum and receive their rewards daily after a waiting period of approximately 2 days, but must wait 10 days to access their balance once unstaked. Staking Solana on Revolut offers an APY of 5.25%, with rewards paid every 3 days after an initial waiting period of 3 days. Staking Polygon on Revolut offers an APY of up to 3.74%, with rewards paid daily after a 1-day warm-up period. Revolut staking is available in select countries within the EEA, with fees ranging from 15% to 35% depending on the token and the amount staked. -
Ethereum Struggles with Institutional Adoption, Losing Ground to Bitcoin
Ethereum's eight-year support trend against Bitcoin has been broken, causing concern for its future. Tuur Demeester, founder of Adamant Capital, has described Ethereum as "dying a slow death" due to this development. The slow adoption by institutions is being blamed for Ethereum's setback, while Bitcoin continues to dominate. This could have implications for Ethereum's position as an asset class. Despite this, Bitcoin's price remains stable, while altcoins show mixed performance. The disparity between Bitcoin and Ethereum's adoption among institutional investors is due to Bitcoin's simpler use case and fixed supply, as well as its higher trading volumes in ETFs compared to Ethereum. Ethereum's scalability challenges and regulatory scrutiny, particularly regarding its transition to a proof-of-stake model, are also contributing factors. Institutional endorsement of Bitcoin ETFs has outpaced that of Ethereum, with major asset managers like Fidelity and Morgan Stanley adding Bitcoin ETFs to their offerings. Experts suggest that Ethereum needs to address scalability issues and redefine its role as a technology-driven platform to regain its competitive edge. Until then, institutional investment appears to favor Bitcoin.
