On the 12th of May, Hayes, in a blog post titled “The Butterfly Touch,” noted that Bitcoin’s next move to $126,000 is inevitable. This prediction by Hayes comes at a time when BTC was trading at $81,067.73 at press time after modest daily and weekly hikes. On what grounds does Hayes believe BTC will hit $126K? In his piece, Hayes proposed that the primary catalyst pushing Bitcoin’s growth is artificial intelligence (AI). The argument is strengthened by the competition between China and the United States for leadership in AI development. Remarking on the same, Hayes added, The presidents of America and China (Trump and Xi) both believe that AI and tech supremacy are integral to the survival of their fiefdoms.

The post Ether Hits 10-Month Low Against Bitcoin as ETH ETFs Lag, Sharplink Eyes $16 Target appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Ethereum News The ether-to-bitcoin ratio slid to 0.02835 on Tuesday, marking the weakest reading since July 2025 and extending a 35% retreat from the August peak of 0.04324. The pair has now fallen roughly 2% on the session against bitcoin’s 1% decline, deepening a divergence that has defined the past several months. The ratio remains substantially below its 200-week moving average near 0.04828, a level technical traders view as confirmation that Ethereum sits in a structural bear market relative to bitcoin. Capital rotation toward bitcoin since the January 2024 spot ETF launches continues to weigh on relative performance, despite a sharp interim rebound through late 2025. Ether has tested the $2,400 resistance zone five times over the past month, with each attempt fading without follow-through. The persistent rejection coincides with weak institutional flows

The post Fed: AI-driven growth complicates rate path – NBC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
National Bank of Canada’s (NBC) Senior Economist Jocelyn Paquet, argues that surging AI-related investment is keeping U.S. GDP growth above potential, with forecasts of 2.4% in 2026 and 2.0% in 2027. However, Paquet warns this strength, combined with a dovish Federal Reserve (Fed) stance, risks delaying a return of inflation to the 2% target and is reshaping expectations for USD rates. AI boom sustains growth and inflation “Is this a problem? In the short term, the answer to this question is probably no. With hyperscalers projecting up to $800 billion in AI-related spending by 2026, growth in the sectors mentioned above is more likely to accelerate in the future rather than slow down, and economic data tends to confirm this hypothesis.” “These developments lead us to believe that the worst may be over for households and that consumption growth could accelerate as the year progresses. If our
