๐Ÿ—“๏ธ April 2025 Update April closed on a high note with +5% for the month, trimming our year-to-date loss to around -22%. It wasnโ€™t the easiest start, so this bounce feels especially good. ๐Ÿ’ช ๐Ÿ“Š ๐—ง๐—ผ๐—ฝ ๐—ข๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ป ๐—ฃ๐—ผ๐˜€๐—ถ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜€ Crypto: $XRP : +313.35% ๐Ÿš€ $BTC : +157.03% $ADA : +140% Stocks: MCK : +32.71% COIN : +27.32% ORLY : +15.79% ๐ŸŒ ๐— ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ธ๐—ฒ๐˜ ๐—–๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜๐—ฒ๐˜…๐˜ Crypto rules: We think Europeโ€™s MiCA framework finally gives us a clear playbook, while the U.S. SECโ€™s flip-flopping keeps us guessing. Geopolitics: From regional skirmishes to U.S.โ€“China trade sparring, we see these flashpoints as the main drivers of todayโ€™s volatility. Inflation & central banks: With inflation, our view is that the Fed and the ECB will hold tight every rate decision still has the power to shake markets. This leads to short-lived volatility spikes, but it also gives us juicy entry points when the market overreacts. ๐ŸŽฏ ๐—ฆ๐˜๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ด๐˜† & ๐—ข๐˜‚๐˜๐—น๐—ผ๐—ผ๐—ธ Weโ€™re keeping our ears to the ground same strategy for now, with a gradual rotation into equities management through the rest of the year. Iโ€™d like to wrap up by noting that the start of this year has been shaken by a string of economic and geopolitical headlines and heightened crypto volatilityโ€”but we remain optimistic about the opportunities ahead as markets settle into new patterns. I can't wait for the next few weeks.
