Crypto’s got its mojo back, but why now?

If you’ve peeked at the charts in May, you might’ve felt the sudden urge to dust off your laser eyes as Bitcoin’s strutting again, reaching another All-Time-High, and the market is reacting.

So, what’s fuelling this rally?

• Big Dogs Are Back: Institutional investors are piling in like it’s Black Friday. ETFs are live, and crypto’s gone from niche hobby to boardroom buzzword.
• Halving Hangover: With the supply tap tightened post-halving, Bitcoin’s scarcity is turning up the heat. Less supply + growing demand = classic squeeze play.
• Global Wobbles: Banks are wobbling, fiat’s fumbling, and when the old system sneezes, crypto regains attention. Alternative assets? Right this way.
• Tech is Finally Talking the Talk. From DeFi Legos to tokenized treasuries, the crypto industry isn’t just dreaming; it’s doing. Real-world asset (RWA) tokenisation and real-world use cases are here.

But before you dive in like it’s 2021 all over again, here’s the fine print:
Bullish doesn’t mean brainless. Markets love optimism, but they punish recklessness.

If you’re sitting on the sidelines wondering whether to dip a toe or dive in headfirst, you’re not alone. Navigating the crypto space requires more than assessing the vibes; it needs vision and a plan.

You can explore the space on your own, or if you’re looking for a structured approach, we’d be happy to share how we’re building BostonCoin — a diversified crypto fund. 

We’re offering a no-pressure discovery call to walk through our process and values.

BTC Breaks the Meter: $111K and Climbing

Bitcoin’s not just knocking on the door, it’s booting it clean off the hinges. Recently, BTC shattered past $111,000 USD, setting a brand-new all-time high and giving hodlers everywhere a reason to howl at the moon.

What’s behind the pump? Institutional wallets are getting heavier. More and more publicly listed companies are treating Bitcoin like it’s the new Swiss bank account, rock solid and ready to ride out.

Wall Street’s stacking sats, the charts are grinning, and somewhere Satoshi is having a quiet chuckle.

Bitcoin Benched: Arizona Gives Crypto Reserve Bill the Red Card

Just when it looked like Arizona might lace up and lead the crypto charge, Governor Katie Hobbs pulled the plug, vetoing a bill that would’ve let the state stash up to 10% of its treasury and retirement funds in digital gold like Bitcoin.

Her verdict? Crypto’s still “untested.”

Translation: not ready for prime time, at least not in the Grand Canyon State.

The move snuffs out hopes of Arizona becoming the first US state to officially put Bitcoin on its books. For now, it’s back to the policy drawing board, and crypto cheerleaders are left cooling their heels on the sidelines.

Metaplanet Goes Full Florida with a $250M Crypto Cannonball

Just when you thought the crypto waves in Miami couldn’t get any splashier, Tokyo-based Metaplanet belly-flops into the scene with a cool $250 million raise. That’s right, they’re setting up shop in the Sunshine State, looking to double their 5,000 BTC war chest (already worth a tasty $473M) before the 2025 party kicks off. 

Desert-Backed Dollars: Circle’s USDC Saddles Up in Abu Dhabi

Circle’s riding straight into the UAE, having secured in-principle approval from Abu Dhabi’s FSRA as of 28 April 2025. The stablecoin heavyweight, already flexing a $62.03B market cap,  is setting up camp in Hub71’s high-tech oasis, looking to turn USDC into the Middle East’s favourite digital dirham. This move rides in on the coattails of Circle’s MiCA compliance in the EU and a recent launch in Japan. Global stablecoin shuffle? Circle’s leading the dance.                     

How are we doing this month?

Absolute treat of a month.

This month’s top dog? SUI, no question. Sitting proudly at 8.4% of our portfolio, it’s not just gaining attention, it’s gaining ground. A few years back we profiled SUI when it was just a pup. Now it’s running with the big dogs, headlining with strong tech and investor momentum.

Meanwhile, the usual suspects are holding firm. BTC dominates at 68.9%, our rock-solid core, while quieter names like LINK, LTC, and CAKE continue to season the mix. Some positions dipped their tails a bit, but that’s why we stay diversified; even a sleepy coin can learn new tricks.

Dubai and UAE recap

The Boston crew just wrapped up a whirlwind tour of Dubai, where Jennifer, Jeremy, and Dee hit the ground running at both the FinTech Summit and the HODL Summit. Great chats, fresh insights, and yes,  plenty of new swag made its way into eager hands.

We shared insights into our ethical crypto fund frameworks, currently in development and shaped by diverse, faith-based values — including Halal, Kosher, and Dharma-aligned approaches. These remain in the planning phase as we pursue regulatory licensing through ADGM.

Closing Thoughts

At Boston Trading Co., we believe crypto should be inclusive, accessible, and built on values that matter. So tell your mates, email your enemies, or scribble it on a napkin at brunch — the future of finance is open, diverse, and more welcoming than a dog park on a sunny day.

As we wrap up this month’s update, remember: in crypto, every dog has its day.

Stay pawsitive, keep your pack close, your ears perked up, and happy investing!
