According to an article in the American Bankers Association (ABA) Journal, experts including the ABA's chief economist point out that the recent research report by the White House Council of Economic Advisers (CEA) on the issuance of yield from payment stablecoins raises the wrong questions and may mislead policymakers.The CEA report mainly explores "how prohibiting the issuance of yield from payment stablecoins will affect bank lending," concluding that banning yields would only increase bank lending by about $1.2 billion, with minimal impact.However, the ABA believes that the real policy concern is not the consequences of "prohibition," but the risks that may arise from "allowing" the issuance of yield from payment stablecoins: accelerating deposit outflows, allowing yields to stimulate households and businesses to move funds from bank deposits (especially community banks) to stablecoins, which would have a significant impact when the market size expands to $1-2 trillion. ABA analysis shows that loans in Iowa alone could decrease by $4.4 billion to $8.7 billion as a result.Impact on community banks: Deposit outflows will force community banks to replace funding with higher-cost wholesale financing (such as Federal Home Loan Bank advances), raising their funding costs and thereby reducing loans to local households and small businesses. It is not a harmless "reshuffling": The CEA believes that deposits are merely "reshuffled" within the banking system, with overall impact being minimal.However, the ABA points out that deposits flowing from community banks to a few large institutions or stablecoin reserve accounts will harm sectors that rely on relationship-based bank lending. The ABA believes that prohibiting the issuance of yield from payment stablecoins is a prudent protective measure that allows stablecoins to mature as a tool for payment innovation rather than becoming a source of economic risk that substitutes for insured deposits.

Bitget's transparency report for the first quarter of 2026 released today shows that user trading behavior is accelerating its shift from single cryptocurrency assets to multi-asset portfolios.

At that time, Cao Darong, the general manager of Kuangshi China, casually mentioned, "There's a new thing called Bitcoin that you can take a look at," and then Li Qiyuan, the CEO of Bitcoin China, further suggested that he allocate 10% of his assets to Bitcoin, which was priced at $70 at the time.CZ revealed that during his time selling trading systems, he gradually developed a liking for playing Texas Hold'em, golf, and going to KTV.

Charles Schwab's latest research shows that even a 1% to 3% allocation of Bitcoin (BTC) or Ethereum (ETH) in a portfolio can significantly impact overall risk characteristics.The study points out that both Bitcoin and Ethereum have historically experienced declines of over 70%, far exceeding the volatility levels of stocks or bonds, thus even small allocations can have a noticeable effect during market fluctuations. Charles Schwab proposes two methods for allocating crypto assets: 1. Traditional Portfolio Theory Method: Allocating based on expected returns, volatility, and correlation, but the assumptions about returns vary greatly; if the expected return is below 10%, even aggressive investors may find it difficult to support large allocations. 2. Risk Budgeting Method: Determining the proportion of crypto assets based on the risk one is willing to take, shifting the focus from returns to risk tolerance, but the volatility of crypto assets may still exceed expectations. Charles Schwab emphasizes that crypto assets are high-volatility assets and are not suitable for all investors. Investors should cautiously allocate based on their risk tolerance, investment horizon, and familiarity with the assets, while also being aware of risks such as liquidity, theft, and fraud.

Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart stated that as market demand continues to expand, the future assets under management (AUM) of Bitcoin spot ETFs are expected to surpass those of gold ETFs.Seyffart pointed out that Bitcoin has a more diverse role in investment portfolios, being viewed as "digital gold," a store of value, and possessing attributes such as asset allocation diversification, liquidity trading, and growth-oriented risk assets, while the investment logic for gold is relatively singular. In terms of capital flows, there has been a noticeable outflow from U.S. gold ETFs recently, with a net outflow of approximately $2.92 billion in March; during the same period, Bitcoin spot ETFs achieved a net inflow of about $1.32 billion, indicating a shift in capital preferences. Despite the divergence in capital flows, Bitcoin and gold prices have shown similar trends recently. Over the past 30 days, Bitcoin prices have dropped by about 8.07%, while gold prices have decreased by about 8.25%. Market views suggest that as investors' demand for digital asset allocation increases, Bitcoin ETFs are gradually shifting from "alternative assets" to mainstream asset allocation tools, and their long-term growth potential is being reassessed.

According to a report by CryptoSlate, the latest report from the Cardano Foundation shows that its asset structure is shifting from a heavy reliance on ADA to a diversified allocation. By the end of 2025, the proportion of ADA is expected to decrease from 76.7% to 51.6%, while the proportion of Bitcoin will significantly increase to 25.5%, and cash and financial assets will rise to 22.9%.It is reported that the total assets of the Cardano Foundation amount to 287.5 million Swiss francs (approximately 361 million USD), a decrease of about 45% compared to 659 million USD at the end of 2024. Notably, the increase in the proportion of Bitcoin held by the Cardano Foundation is not due to additional purchases; its BTC holdings have decreased from 1,054 to 656 (a decline of 37%). The increase in proportion is mainly attributed to Bitcoin's relative resilience and an overall adjustment of the reserve structure. Currently, its reserve system is transitioning from being driven by a single token to a more diversified and actively managed allocation model.

Devansh Mehta, a researcher at the Ethereum Foundation, proposed a Validator Revenue Redistribution (VRR) scheme at the EthCC conference. It aims to allow validators to signal on the consensus layer and autonomously decide to redirect a certain percentage of their staking rewards to designated smart contracts, rather than withdrawing all to personal wallets. The recipients can be public goods funding platforms like Gitcoin, Octant, security auditing agencies, or core protocol research teams.The scheme involves two changes to the execution layer: signaling the redirection ratio by validators and the logical implementation of fund allocation to the designated contracts.
