Nexo Card meets Apple Wallet Small but useful update if you're carrying a Nexo Card on iOS: you can now add it straight to Apple Wallet from the Nexo app instead of the old manual entry. Once it's in, it works like any Apple Pay card in stores, online, and inside apps, and your actual card number never gets passed to the merchant. Doesn't require the physical card either, virtual card holders can set it up the same way. For more details: Your iPhone is your Nexo Card

Bitcoin vs. gold: do you need one, the other, or both? Gold and Bitcoin both exist because people want something that holds value outside the traditional financial system. In 2026 they told very different stories. Gold surged roughly 65%, hitting all-time highs above $4,500 per ounce. Bitcoin hit a new all-time high of $126,000, then pulled back as macro conditions tightened. The case for gold Gold's performance was driven by geopolitical tension, rising government debt, and central bank accumulation. Central banks globally surpassed 40,000 tonnes of gold reserves in Q3 2025, the highest level in at least 75 years. Its volatility is also far lower than Bitcoin's, though the trade-off is a lower ceiling: over the past decade, gold returned roughly 335%. The case for Bitcoin Bitcoin traded like a risk asset in 2025 rather than a defensive hedge, which is why it underperformed gold during macro stress. But the structural argument is intact. Supply is fixed at 21 million coins, with a transparent halving schedule physical gold can't offer. Over 10 years, Bitcoin is up more than 22,000% versus gold's 335%. Why "either/or" misses the point Gold is the proven, low-volatility anchor. Bitcoin is the high-conviction, long-horizon bet. Many investors hold both, treating gold as their defensive allocation and Bitcoin as their asymmetric growth position. On Nexo, neither has to sit idle. You can earn interest on Bitcoin, PAXG, and XAUT, borrow against your holdings without selling, and exchange between Bitcoin and tokenized gold directly on the platform.

Daily Market Dispatch – May 5, 2026 Bitcoin clears $80,000 for the first time since February as tech sector rally lifts appetite Bitcoin has broken back above $80,000 for the first time since February, rising over 1% to around $80,690 as a broad risk-on wave sweeps through global markets. The broader crypto market cap has edged up to $2.67 trillion, recovering to early-February levels. Context for the move comes partly from outside crypto — Asian equities pushed to record highs on AI and chip enthusiasm, with U.S. futures also pointing higher and the Nasdaq composite having closed at a record on May 1. That equity backdrop set a constructive tone that carried through to liquid risk assets including Bitcoin. The Strait of Hormuz remains contested but oil is pulling back, with Brent easing to around $113 after Monday's surge above $125. Having spent months as a ceiling, $80,000 is now being tested as a floor. Bitcoin Bitcoin is trading at $80,690, up over 1% on the day and breaking above the resistance zone that rejected every attempt since February. The $80,000 reclaim is psychologically significant, but the more important levels are just ahead: the 200-day moving average near $82,000 and ETF cost-basis references near $83,000 — the levels that would convert this move from a relief rally into something more structural. Spot Bitcoin ETFs attracted $532.2 million in net inflows on Monday. Cumulative net inflows across the 13 spot Bitcoin ETFs now stand at $59.3 billion, with total assets reaching $106.4 billion — representing 6.7% of Bitcoin's total market cap. The derivatives picture adds a note of caution. Open interest is rising and implied volatility has ticked higher, but aggressive derivatives buying is not strongly supporting the rally — raising the risk that gains lack follow-through if spot demand weakens. Ethereum & Altcoins Ethereum is at $2,370, up 0.6% on the day but yet to reclaim April's high of $2,460 — a level that remains the near-term test for whether ETH can establish independent momentum. XRP is marginally lower at $1.41. Derivatives activity in Ethereum, XRP, and Solana has been relatively muted, suggesting the market remains selective rather than broadly expansionary. Spot Ethereum ETFs recorded $61.3 million in net inflows on Monday, a constructive signal beneath the surface. Macro & Institutional Oil pulled back to around $113 on Tuesday as President Trump's "Project Freedom" operation produced early signs of loosening Iran's grip on the Strait. The conflict remains the primary driver of oil's elevated level and the broader inflation outlook. The institutional rate outlook is shifting. Barclays has abandoned its forecast for Fed rate cuts entirely in 2026, now expecting the central bank to hold through the year-end before a single 25 basis point cut in March 2027. The RBA hiked 25 basis points to 4.35% overnight — its third consecutive increase, adding to the global picture of central banks tightening in response to the energy shock rather than easing in response to growth concerns. Goldman Sachs described Q1 earnings as "exceptionally strong” – mega-cap tech was the standout where Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, and Microsoft collectively delivered 20% revenue growth and 61% earnings growth. Looking Ahead Today brings S&P Global Services and Composite PMIs, ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI, and JOLTS job openings. AMD reports after the close. The labour market data is the thread to follow through the rest of the week — ADP on Wednesday and Friday's nonfarm payrolls, hourly earnings, and unemployment rate together form the most complete near-term read on whether the economy is softening fast enough to give the Fed any room to move, or whether resilience keeps rates on hold well into 2027. The $80,000 reclaim is the opening move — whether this is recovery or resumption depends on spot demand holding. - Iliya Kalchev, Analyst at Nexo’s Dispatch For informational purposes only; not financial or investment advice.

Daily Market Dispatch – May 04, 2026 Bitcoin tests $80,000 as positioning sets up potential short squeeze Bitcoin broke $80,000 in early Monday trading, peaking at $80,309 around 04:00 UTC before retreating just below $79,000. Total crypto market cap held at $2.62 trillion. The week opens with the regulatory tape as the principal catalyst after Senators Tillis and Alsobrooks released compromise CLARITY Act language late Friday. European equities opened broadly flat as investors weighed a renewed US push to reopen the Strait of Hormuz against persistent energy-price pressure. Brent remains well above pre-war levels at $109.04. Last week's FOMC delivered the expected hold. However, multiple hawkish dissents lifted Treasury yields, with the US 10Y testing a nine-month high near 4.45% before settling at 4.38% on Friday. Bitcoin BTC tested $80,309 in Asia trading Monday, before reversing. This was BTC’s highest print since January 31 and a level last held during the descent from the mid-January peak near $97,600. The move extends April's 11.8% gain and lifts BTC roughly 28% from its YTD low of $62,840 set on February 5. The flow picture is mixed beneath the price action. US spot ETFs pulled in roughly $2.3 billion over the three weeks through May 1, with total net assets above $100 billion and Friday's $629.7 million inflow the largest since mid-April. Spot exchange volumes, however, ran 22% below March levels through April (daily average $5.92 billion versus $7.58 billion), consistent with the CryptoQuant read that the rally is not yet broadly confirmed by underlying spot turnover. Cumulative spot volume delta did turn positive at the margin in late April, suggesting late-stage participation, but the absolute level remains thin. Ethereum & Altcoins ETH trades near $2,360, up just 5.5% in April against BTC's 11.8%, with the ETH/BTC ratio at 0.0296, flat with end-2025. The ratio's failure to lift through April is the cleanest signal that this is not a broad alt rotation. ETH spot ETFs drew $339 million over the three weeks through May 1, only about 15% of BTC ETF inflows. Mean perpetual funding averaged −1.78% annualized in April with 19 of 30 days negative, mirroring the "structurally short into a rally" pattern seen in BTC but more pronounced — and without comparable ETF and spot buying, those shorts have not been squeezed into covering. Macro & Institutional The main catalyst for crypto this week is regulatory: compromise CLARITY Act language released late Friday bars stablecoin rewards that mimic bank deposit interest while preserving activity-based rewards, clearing a path to a Senate Banking markup this month. On the macro side, last week's data showed US households drawing on savings to sustain spending, with the saving rate down to 3.6% of disposable income. With gasoline up 21% year over year on Middle East tensions, that buffer is unlikely to hold long. Even so, US equities closed at fresh records, with the S&P 500 up 0.9% and forward operating EPS at an all-time high of $346.19, capping the index's best month since 2020. April drew $86 billion in global equity inflows, with the US absorbing the bulk while Europe posted its heaviest redemptions in two years. AI remains the anchor and flows the accelerant, but narrower leadership suggests the next leg higher will need more than momentum. Looking Ahead Fed funds futures price under 10% probability of any cut through year-end after last Wednesday's hawkish hold, leaving this week's US data with asymmetric weight. Tuesday delivers ISM Services PMI and JOLTS, Wednesday ADP, and Friday closes with Nonfarm Payrolls (consensus 73K) and Unemployment Rate (4.3%). A clean run of resilient prints would entrench the no-cut path; a soft payrolls number or weak services read would be the first credible test of that pricing — and the more direct catalyst for risk appetite across crypto and equities. - Dessislava Ianeva, Nexo Dispatch analyst For informational purposes only; not financial or investment advice.

Daily Market Dispatch – April 29, 2026 Bitcoin stays in-range ahead of what may be Powell's last call Bitcoin remains in-range above $76,000, briefly up 1.5% on the day towards $78,000, before reversing. The Fed concludes its two-day meeting today in what is widely expected to be Jerome Powell's final rate decision as chair. Equity futures are pointing modestly higher, with mega-cap tech earnings from Alphabet, Microsoft, Amazon, and Meta due after the close. Bitcoin Bitcoin traded toward $78,000, up 1.5% on the day, before retreating below $77,000 — tight consolidation that has defined the past several sessions. The $78,000–$79,500 area remains the firm technical barrier, with profit-taking repeatedly capping advances. The pattern is familiar: sharp rallies followed by consolidation, reflecting a market that is improving in structure but not yet trending. Bitcoin's resilience in the face of this week's macro headwinds is the more interesting data point than the price level itself. When oil surges, liquidations spike, and a central bank signals higher rates for longer, the default expectation is that risk assets sell off. Bitcoin has not. One interpretation is that the sell-side has thinned out as weaker holders have already exited — though this is difficult to verify in real time and should be weighed against the equally plausible reading that the market is simply consolidating ahead of a catalyst large enough to force the next directional move. The Fed today and the ECB tomorrow are the most likely candidates. Ethereum & Altcoins Altcoins stayed choppy throughout the day, initially staging a modest recovery — Ethereum up over 2%, XRP over 1%, Solana over 2%, before retreating. Bitcoin dominance continues to climb — the familiar pattern when macro stress arrives and capital consolidates into the largest asset, leaving altcoins to track Bitcoin's direction rather than set their own. XRP has broken below the long-held $1.40 support level on strong selling volume, turning that level into resistance. Traders are watching $1.40 as the key level to reclaim and $1.37 as the next support, with a break lower opening room toward $1.32–$1.28. Macro & Institutional The WSJ reported that President Trump is preparing for an extended naval blockade of Iranian ports, opting for a patient pressure strategy over military escalation or a swift diplomatic resolution — a shift that removes any near-term incentive for the market to price a resolution. The Fed is expected to hold rates steady at 3.5%–3.75% later today, with statement language the key focus — possible hawkish adjustments removing forward guidance on cuts later in 2026. Gold is near a one-month low at around $4,593 as safe-haven buyers favor the dollar in a higher-for-longer rate environment. The week's most consequential sovereign signal came from the Bitcoin 2026 conference in Las Vegas, where Czech National Bank Governor Ales Michl presented internal analysis showing that a 1% Bitcoin allocation to the CNB's $180 billion reserve portfolio would increase expected returns while keeping risk roughly unchanged, building on the bank's first digital asset purchase in November 2025. Looking Ahead Today's Fed decision is the main event, with Powell's press conference what may be the last opportunity to hear directly from the outgoing chair on inflation, rates, and the energy shock. Mega-cap tech earnings from Alphabet, Microsoft, Amazon, and Meta follow after the close. Thursday delivers the ECB and BoE decisions, U.S. Q1 GDP, Core PCE, and Apple's results. For Bitcoin, the question remains whether supply exhaustion is enough to hold the range — or whether the next macro shock is the one that breaks it. – Iliya Kalchev, Analyst at Nexo’s Dispatch For informational purposes only; not financial or investment advice.

Daily Market Dispatch – April 24, 2026 Bitcoin tests $78,000 as geopolitical uncertainty and central bank decisions loom Bitcoin is holding above $78,000 to close out a fourth consecutive week of gains, even as the macro backdrop grows more challenging. Brent crude has climbed above $106 and equity futures are mixed. Gold is heading for a weekly decline, slipping to around $4,692 as rising oil fans inflation fears and keeps rate cut expectations at bay. President Trump has stated he is in no rush to reach a permanent deal with Iran, and the Strait of Hormuz shows few signs of near-term resolution. The week ends with more questions than answers, but the institutional bid underneath Bitcoin has remained largely intact. Bitcoin Bitcoin is trading around $78,500, as it remains on course for a fourth consecutive weekly gain. The $80,100 level is the immediate technical test — Glassnode identifies it as the threshold where recent buyers return to profit and where rallies have historically stalled. Breaking above it cleanly would shift the conversation from recovery to resumption. Spot Bitcoin ETFs have extended their positive streak to eight consecutive days, drawing over $2 billion in net inflows between April 6 and April 22, on top of $1.32 billion in March that reversed a four-month outflow streak. Thursday alone saw $223.2 million in inflows. Cumulative net inflows across Bitcoin ETFs have now surpassed $58 billion, with total assets hovering around $100 billion — a scale of institutional participation that has no precedent in Bitcoin's history. Ethereum & Altcoins Altcoins are trading cautiously in a range-bound session. Ethereum trades around $2,300, XRP edged up to $1.43 and Solana eased to $86. Ethereum ETFs snapped their 10-day positive inflow streak on Thursday, posting $76 million in net outflows, a development worth monitoring given the broader rotation dynamic underway. A sustained altcoin recovery would likely require Bitcoin to clear $80,100 convincingly and geopolitical visibility to improve. Macro & Institutional Oil is the dominant macro story to close the week. Brent is up 1.7% to around $106.88 and WTI near $97.21, both on track for their largest weekly gain since early March. The Strait of Hormuz closure is now entering its third month with few signs of near-term relief. A three-week Israel-Lebanon ceasefire extension was announced Thursday, though Hezbollah representatives were absent from the talks, limiting its market impact. Equity futures are mixed. The Nasdaq is outperforming on the back of strong AI-related earnings. European stocks are slipping 0.4% and the dollar is firming on haven demand. Gold is heading for a weekly loss of around 3%, pressured by the higher-for-longer rate narrative that elevated oil continues to feed. A JPMorgan report published Wednesday adds a quieter but relevant data point. Analysts identified security vulnerabilities and stagnant growth as the primary obstacles to large-scale institutional adoption of DeFi. During periods of stress, capital has rotated toward stablecoins, they say, citing deeper liquidity and faster off-ramps on centralized platforms. Looking Ahead Next week is one of the heaviest on the macro calendar this year. Tuesday brings the Bank of Japan's rate decision alongside U.S. CB Consumer Confidence for April. Wednesday is the main event: the Fed's rate decision and FOMC statement, followed by the press conference, with the Bank of Canada also deciding on the same day. Thursday delivers a simultaneous read from the Bank of England and ECB, Eurozone CPI and unemployment, U.S. Core PCE — the Fed's preferred inflation gauge, initial jobless claims, and the Chicago PMI. Five central banks in three days, against a backdrop of oil above $100 and inflation expectations drifting higher. The macro picture can shift materially in either direction before next Friday. – Iliya Kalchev, Analyst at Nexo’s Dispatch For informational purposes only; not financial or investment advice.
