Jeff Park of Bitwise Asset Management recently raised an interesting point: Bitcoin’s volatility is actually the main attraction for the younger generation. In a podcast, he said that the often extreme price fluctuations are not considered a risk but an opportunity. For a generation that grew up with technology and fast information, sharp changes in the market are not scary but rather something that pumps adrenaline. "VOLATILITY" IS THE REASON WHY YOUNG PEOPLE PREFER BITCOIN. @dgt10011 pic.twitter.com/P3kyJkbntG — Mario Nawfal’s Roundtable (@RoundtableSpace) April 12, 2025 Furthermore, Park explained that the younger generation tends to take greater risks because they also see the potential for faster returns. In other words, volatility is not a barrier—it is considered a tool to accelerate wealth building. This is not idle speculation. A Gemini survey released on January 25, 2025, showed that more than 51% of Gen Z globally have owned crypto. In the US alone, 33% of them are even ready to allocate at least 5% of their portfolio to this digital asset. Just imagine if you were only 19 years old, and you had started buying crypto assets from your phone while sitting in the campus cafeteria. That is the reality of Gen Z today. According to Investopedia, the average age of Gen Z to start investing is 19—earlier than millennials who start at an average age of 25. Interestingly, 44% of them took their first steps through crypto. Not blue-chip stocks or property, but crypto. On the other hand, data from YouGov as of February 6, 2025, confirms this trend. As many as 42% of Gen Z investors in the US hold crypto, far more than those who have retirement accounts (only 11%). In fact, 65% of them expressed interest in continuing to increase their investment in this asset throughout 2025. This means that they are not just following suit. They are indeed choosing this path as a way to build their financial future. Interestingly, CNF previously reported that Bitget Research found that 20% of Gen Z and Alpha prefer crypto-based retirement over traditional retirement systems. The main reasons? Transparency and decentralization. Both of these things fit perfectly with the mindset of the younger generation who are more suspicious of the old, closed system. However, this option still has its challenges. The Financial Times reported on March 29, 2025, that almost a third of Gen Z started investing while in college. But some of them are also exposed to high risks because they immediately entered crypto without a thorough understanding. In fact, the UK Financial Authority (FCA) has warned about “finfluencers” who often promote financial products carelessly. Not only that, many of them use micro-investment applications with small amounts. Easy to access, practical, and the results can be seen immediately. This is very tempting for those who are used to everything being instant. But of course, the potential for big profits comes with big risks, too. Finally, we can see that Bitcoin’s appeal to the younger generation is not just about technology, but more because it is in line with the spirit of the times: fast, transparent, and not afraid to take risks. Volatility is not an enemy. For them, it is actually a new friend on the journey to financial freedom.

Dubai’s Land Department (DLD) partnered with the Emirate’s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) to officially link the real estate registry with property tokenization platforms. This collaboration uses an advanced governance system to integrate physical property records with blockchain-based tokens. Dubai’s approach towards blockchain adoption is well-documented. The city is one of the foremost locations renowned for encouraging mainstream blockchain implementation. The latest move will enable property management companies to become more efficient and increase liquidity in the region’s real estate market. The move builds on Dubai’s previously launched “Real Estate Tokenization Project.” Key officials including Helal Saeed Almarri (Director-General, Dept. of Economy and Tourism) and Marwan bin Ghalita (Director-General, DLD) attended the signing ceremony. Related: Dubai Just Made It Easier to Own a Piece of the City with Crypto According to reports, the core motivation behind the latest agreement is to broaden investors’ scope in the Dubai real estate sector. Property tokenization will provide a more inclusive ecosystem via fractional ownership. It would allow smaller investors to participate in the sector and enhance the Dubai real estate industry’s global appeal. Notably, the DLD and VARA tokenization project aligns with the “Dubai Real Estate Strategy 2033,” aiming to grow the region’s real estate transaction volume to AED 1 trillion. It also contributes to the “Dubai Economic Agenda D33,” which aims to double the region’s GDP over the next decade. Speaking on the partnership between the DLD and VARA, Almarri said it reflects the spirit of innovation and integration between Dubai’s government and digital sectors. The Director-General noted that real estate tokenization represents a qualitative leap toward a more inclusive and transparent investment model.

He believes it would attract technology companies to the region and enhance the sector’s digital infrastructure.

Despite the market volatility and the instability of the economy, Michael Saylor has again voiced his opinion regarding the inherent value of Bitcoin (BTC). According to Saylor , BTC price fluctuations are not a drawback at all. He firmly believes that the digital currency’s utility is the one and only factor that leads to the fluctuations. “Doesn’t mean it’s correlated long-term—just means it’s always available,” Saylor said in response to questions over its stock-like behavior. Bitcoin trades all day, every day. Unlike traditional assets, it never sleeps. That availability opens it up to sharper market reactions, especially in times of panic. But Saylor believes these moment-to-moment fluctuations don’t undercut its deeper value. Long-term, the dips don’t dent the core. Dave Portnoy, known for his love of meme coins and market antics, had questioned why Bitcoin often moves in sync with the US stock market. He argued that for a supposedly independent asset, Bitcoin sure does mimic Wall Street’s mood swings. That observation sparked Saylor’s latest defense of Bitcoin’s character. Saylor’s recent remarks came just after he compared Bitcoin favorably to physical commodities like gold. He pointed out that Bitcoin has a serious advantage—it’s untouched by tariffs. As Donald Trump’s new wave of tariffs on imported goods shakes up markets, Bitcoin, immune from such rules, stands apart. These tariffs, introduced as a tit-for-tat against foreign policies, have stirred fresh economic uncertainty. They’ve added pressure on commodities already under strain. In this context, Bitcoin’s lack of physical form and borderless nature offer a unique shelter, a feature Saylor is keen to highlight. According to Arthur Hayes , ex-CEO of BitMEX, the imbalance and the increased volatility are the main reasons why the Bitcoin surged. Hayes claims that the situation would cause the governments to print more money to cover the distortions they have initiated themselves, thus getting the investors to come on board with Bitcoin. For him, a fall in the Dollar’s value and the disinvestment in tech stocks by foreign entities are contributing to a stronger Bitcoin mid-term prospect. Back in August 2020, Strategy, previously known as MicroStrategy, made its debut into Bitcoin. The trend has been fully aligned from that moment. Right now, Strategy has 528,185 BTC, which makes it the largest corporate Bitcoin holder globally. Moreover, Strategy is one of the most recent convertible bond issuers and has raised around $9 billion. Saylor’s conviction in Bitcoin hasn’t wavered. On March 15, 2025, he posted a tweet that drew attention far and wide. Bitcoin is an Orange Dwarf—the brightest object in the financial system—growing stronger, hotter, and denser as it attracts capital. Orange dwarfs are very constant and enduring like the idea of Saylor for Bitcoin. The analogy was liked by the crypto community, which showed a sense of not just standing through the change but increasing in spirit.

Bitcoin is not just a price rollercoaster that gives us palpitations. It is also a living ecosystem, a network of human projects working in the shadows to provide alternatives to the system. Behind the orange logo and Japanese candlesticks lie tangible actions. And some can change lives. Starting with this strong and symbolic gesture from the Human Rights Foundation, which has just released 1 billion satoshis to support Bitcoin projects. The Human Rights Foundation (HRF), bolstered by a $590,000 aid for 20 projects last year, announced early April a new wave of grants through its Bitcoin Development Fund. 1 billion satoshis, or 10 BTC, have been distributed among more than 20 projects spread across the globe. This initiative , much more than just a simple donation, aims to strengthen Bitcoin’s infrastructure, but above all to defend human rights, especially in areas where access to the internet and financial services remains a luxury. Among the supported projects, some stand out for their original and deeply human approach. This is the case of Bitcoin Babies, an initiative in Kenya that combines the fight against child malnutrition and financial education through BTC. Every week, mothers receive stipends in bitcoin and practical training to become self-sufficient. Another bold example: TollGate, a project that turns Wi-Fi routers into decentralized access providers, allowing citizens to bypass government censorship. Thanks to BTC and a touch of digital magic, citizens regain their voice online. In the same spirit, the project Bitsacco modernizes traditional Kenyan financial cooperatives by relying on Fedimint and Bitcoin. A way to restore economic power to local communities without going through banks. Finally, let’s note BTCPay Server, an open-source tool that allows merchants to accept payments in BTC without relying on third parties. A bulwark against economic repression in many areas where NGOs are barred from traditional banking circuits. Is Bitcoin becoming the peaceful weapon of the oppressed in authoritarian regimes? Launched in 2020, the Bitcoin Development Fund (BDF) of the HRF is not new to this. Since its creation, it has distributed over $7.8 million in BTC to 284 projects across 62 countries. The goal? To support initiatives that enhance privacy, financial sovereignty, and the resilience of the Bitcoin network. The BDF does not finance trading or speculation projects. It focuses on social impact, education, accessibility, and financial inclusion. Themes often forgotten in the crypto universe, too often dominated by profit and hype. This year again, the fund supported projects such as: Should the development of Bitcoin now rely on activist funding rather than classic capital? The HRF does not need banks to act. It accepts donations in bitcoin, allowing it to redistribute these funds directly without censorship or bureaucratic obstacles. This autonomy is also what it aims to offer to the populations it supports. The goal is clear: a tomorrow without censorship, where everyone can regain control of their money, voice, and rights. And with Bitcoin as an ally, this dream seems a bit more tangible.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) Crypto Task Force revealed plans Tuesday to hold four additional public roundtables in Washington D.C., expanding its series focused on developing digital asset regulation. The events will take place at the SEC headquarters on April 11, April 25, May 12, and June 6, each tackling a different facet of the crypto regulatory landscape. SEC Commissioner Hester M. Peirce, who leads the initiative, emphasized the importance of public input, stating: The Crypto Task Force roundtables are an opportunity for us to hear a lively discussion among experts about what the regulatory issues are and what the Commission can do to solve them. Each upcoming roundtable features a unique theme aimed at dissecting critical regulatory gaps. The April 11 session, Between a Block and a Hard Place: Tailoring Regulation for Crypto Trading, will explore trade-specific oversight. On April 25, Know Your Custodian: Key Considerations for Crypto Custody will focus on the risks and responsibilities of crypto asset storage. The May 12 event, Tokenization – Moving Assets Onchain: Where TradFi and DeFi Meet, is expected to address blockchain-based asset integration with traditional finance. Wrapping up the series on June 6 is DeFi and the American Spirit, centering on the role of decentralized finance in U.S. markets. All sessions are open to the public, with in-person registration required and livestreams available on SEC.gov. Last week, the task force hosted its inaugural roundtable, which centered on foundational legal questions and the barriers digital asset firms face in attempting to comply with existing regulations. Participants debated issues ranging from the definition of crypto securities to the feasibility of current registration requirements. The session included perspectives from former regulators, legal scholars, blockchain company executives, and investor advocates. It set the tone for the task force’s approach—prioritizing transparency and inclusion as it works to address complex regulatory challenges across the digital asset sector. During the event, Acting SEC Chairman Mark T. Uyeda advocated for regulatory rulemaking over enforcement to clarify cryptocurrency guidelines and reduce legal ambiguity. Uyeda formed the crypto task force in January. Commissioner Peirce later outlined 10 priorities. The SEC has described the task force’s mission as follows: The Crypto Task Force was established to help the Commission draw clear regulatory lines, provide realistic paths to registration, craft sensible disclosure frameworks, and deploy enforcement resources judiciously. 免责声明：本文章仅代表作者个人观点，不代表本平台的立场和观点。本文章仅供信息分享，不构成对任何人的任何投资建议。用户与作者之间的任何争议，与本平台无关。如网页中刊载的文章或图片涉及侵权，请提供相关的权利证明和身份证明发送邮件到support@aicoin.com，本平台相关工作人员将会进行核查。
