The post Salesforce eyes $60B revenue by 2030 as AI fuels comeback appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Salesforce Inc. has outlined an ambitious plan to reach $60 billion in annual revenue by January 2030, signaling renewed confidence that artificial intelligence will drive growth at the cloud software giant. The forecast, delivered by Chief Financial and Operating Officer Robin Washington at the company’s investor event on Wednesday, does not include any revenue from a pending Informatica Inc. acquisition that Salesforce anticipates will close in the middle of 2026. Washington said the company was confident about returning to double-digit growth, noting that it would take about 12 to 18 months for the turnaround to materialize. She added that Salesforce had reported $37.9 billion in revenue for the fiscal year ended in January, its slowest growth since going public. AI agents drive Salesforce’s revival Having grown more slowly in recent years, Salesforce is making aggressive use of artificial intelligence to fuel its comeback. At the center of this is Agentforce 360, an AI-powered automation platform that lets businesses deploy “digital agents” to perform tasks such as customer support, data entry, and early-stage sales conversations. The company stated that over 12,000 customers are already using Agentforce, which has also been adopted internally to reduce costs. The tool is saving Salesforce approximately $100 million per year, the company stated in figures shared during its Dreamforce 2025 conference earlier this week. To bolster its AI capabilities, Salesforce has strengthened its collaborations with OpenAI and Anthropic to integrate their latest models into the suite known as Agentforce 360. The integration enables customers to combine generative AI with Salesforce’s own Einstein Copilot system, which provides more intelligent, context-aware suggestions. The company also announced plans to invest $15 billion in San Francisco over the next five years, as it expands its data centers, supports local AI startups, and advances research on how AI can be used responsibly.

The post Volatility Shares Files for 5x Leveraged Bitcoin, Ether, Ripple ETFs appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Volatility Shares, one of the most aggressive ETF issuers in the crypto space, has filed with U.S. regulators to launch a suite of 5x leveraged exchange-traded funds tracking bitcoin BTC$110.504,56, ether ETH$3.986,96, and XRP. The proposed products would amplify daily price moves by five times, meaning it can turn a 2% move in the underlying asset into a 10% swing in the ETF. That also means a 2% drop in BTC or ETH would wipe out 10% of an investor’s exposure in a single day. The firm’s filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) also includes 5× funds for Solana SOL$194,00 and several high-volatility equities, such as Coinbase (COIN), MicroStrategy (MSTR), Tesla (TSLA) and Alphabet (GOOGL). In total, the batch lists 27 products across 3x and 5x leverage tiers, with an effective date of December 29, 2025. If approved, these would become some of the most extreme crypto-linked instruments available to U.S. investors. “They haven’t even approved 3x yet, and Vol Shares is like, ‘let’s try 5x,’” noted Eric Balchunas, ETF analyst at Bloomberg, referring to pending 3x XRP proposals from GraniteShares. VolShares filed for 5x single stock and crypto ETFs incl COIN, CRCL, GOOG, MSTR, NVDA, PLTR, TSLA, Bitcoin, Ether, Solana, XRP… They haven’t even approved 3x and VolShares is like let’s try 5x.

Compounding and volatility decay mean that even if bitcoin finishes the week higher, a 5x ETF could underperform due to daily rebalancing. Each evening, the fund rebalances to maintain its leverage ratio, buying after up days and selling after down days. Over time, those daily resets compound — and not in a…

The post Diddy Faces These Conditions After He’s Released From Prison appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline A federal court has imposed a litany of restrictions on Sean “Diddy” Combs to take effect after he finishes his four-year prison sentence for prostitution charges, requiring him to remain on supervised release for five years with strict special conditions, according to a filing Wednesday. Diddy will remain on supervised release for five years after he finishes his four-year sentence. Getty Images Key Facts During Combs’ five years of supervised release, the Bad Boy Records founder will be barred from contacting any of the victims in the case or “encouraging” anyone else from contacting them. Combs will have to submit to searches of his person, property and electronic devices if probation officers have “reasonable suspicion” he violated the terms of his release or committed a crime. He will be required to undergo treatment at an outpatient mental health facility, as well treatment for substance abuse and complete a program for domestic violence. The record producer is required to provide his probation officer with his financial information upon request. Combs will also be subject to the standard conditions for supervised release, including prohibitions on owning a firearm and communicating with anyone engaged in criminal activity. Key Background Combs was indicted on federal charges in 2024 and was found guilty on the charges of transportation to engage in prostitution. However, the jury acquitted him on the more serious charges of racketeering and sex trafficking, which could have landed him a life sentence. Prosecutors still asked Judge Arun Subramanian to hand down a serious 11-year prison sentence, but Subramanian ended up only sentencing Diddy to 50 months in a federal prison, alongside a $500,000 fine. What Was The Court Considering? Despite the shorter sentence, Subramanian acknowledged the producer’s “horrific” treatment of victims, including his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura. “To Ms. Ventura and the…

The post Japan’s Kato says will monitor for excessive fluctuations and disorderly movements appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Japanese Finance Minister Katsunobu Kato said on Thursday that he will monitor for excessive fluctuations and disorderly movements.  Key quotes Important for currencies to move in stable manner reflecting fundamentals. Will thoroughly monitor for excessive fluctuations and disorderly movements in forex market. Generally speaking, political stability is important for FX. Confirmed with Bessent agreement made between two nations on FX.  Market reaction   As of writing, the USD/JPY pair is down 0.58% on the day at 152.34.  Japanese Yen FAQs The Japanese Yen (JPY) is one of the world’s most traded currencies. Its value is broadly determined by the performance of the Japanese economy, but more specifically by the Bank of Japan’s policy, the differential between Japanese and US bond yields, or risk sentiment among traders, among other factors. One of the Bank of Japan’s mandates is currency control, so its moves are key for the Yen. The BoJ has directly intervened in currency markets sometimes, generally to lower the value of the Yen, although it refrains from doing it often due to political concerns of its main trading partners. The BoJ ultra-loose monetary policy between 2013 and 2024 caused the Yen to depreciate against its main currency peers due to an increasing policy divergence between the Bank of Japan and other main central banks. More recently, the gradually unwinding of this ultra-loose policy has given some support to the Yen. Over the last decade, the BoJ’s stance of sticking to ultra-loose monetary policy has led to a widening policy divergence with other central banks, particularly with the US Federal Reserve. This supported a widening of the differential between the 10-year US and Japanese bonds, which favored the US Dollar against the Japanese Yen. The BoJ decision in 2024 to gradually abandon the ultra-loose policy, coupled with interest-rate cuts in other major central banks,…

The post UK court moves to repay Chinese victims of $6.8B BTC fraud appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Victims of a large-scale cryptocurrency scam are set to receive restitution from the UK following the arrest of the perpetrators, who the London Metropolitan Police seized thousands of Bitcoins from in connection with a massive investment scam. UK prosecutors are preparing to confiscate Bitcoin worth about $6.8B connected to one of the largest cryptocurrency fraud cases ever uncovered. Prosecutors revealed during a court hearing in London on Wednesday that the funds are tied to a fraudulent investment scheme that swindled about 128,000 investors across China. Authorities plan to create a victim compensation program to return funds to those affected. Chinese victims are set to be repaid by the UK  The $6.8 haul is from an investigation by the London Metropolitan Police, which uncovered 61,000 Bitcoins in 2018 during a money laundering probe involving two Chinese women.  The women were involved in a 2017 fraud case that was first detected by Chinese authorities when investors began reporting losses linked to Tianjin Lantian’s promises of high-yield returns. The scheme eventually fell apart and exposed a vast network of false investment products and fake profits used to attract new participants. The structure was similar to a Ponzi-style scam. UK prosecutors stated that the company lured investors with promises of high returns and when it collapsed, it resulted in losses of more than 40 billion yuan. Fourteen Chinese nationals have already been convicted in China in connection with the scheme. One of the largest UK crypto seizures  Yadi Zhang, also known as Zhimin Qian, played a key role in laundering the stolen cryptocurrency. Zhang pleaded guilty to money-laundering charges last month after years of investigation. Her accomplice, another Chinese woman, was convicted of fraud by a UK jury last year. Prosecutors revealed at the last hearing that Zhang had hidden additional cryptocurrency from investigators.…

The post Bitcoin Stays Still Despite Trump’s New ‘Trade War’ Remark appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Highlights U.S. President Donald Trump has said that the country is in a trade war with China at present  The cryptocurrency market has not reacted quickly to Trump’s new remark after witnessing a historic crash last week “There was a big crash, but it worked,” says MIT’s digital currency expert Today, U.S. President Donald Trump has once again fired a shot against China, saying, “We’re in a Trade War with China Now.” While replying to a reporter on his view on the tariff war with China, Donald Trump said, “Well, you’re in one now. We have a 100% tariff. If we did not have tariffs, we would be exposed as being nothing.” However, this time, the cryptocurrency market seems still and untouched at the time of writing this. According to CoinMarketCap, Bitcoin is hovering around $111,035.68 with a tiny spike of 0.03% on an hourly chart. However, its trading volume suffered a massive crash with approximately a 22% drop. While its market capitalization stood at around $2.21 trillion.  Other altcoins like Ethereum and Solana are also going through a consolidation phase after Trump waged a tariff war against China. At the time of writing, Ethereum and Solana are trading at around $3,958.91 and $193.21, respectively.  Trump’s Unpredictable Moves in the China Trade War In less than a week, U.S. President Donald Trump has given mixed signals over his trade policies with China.  On Friday, Trump gave a fresh warning to China on Truth Social to impose an additional 100% tariff on imports from China from November 1 after China restricted exports of rare earth minerals.  “Based on the fact that China has taken this unprecedented position… the United States of America will impose a Tariff of 100% on China, over and above any Tariff that they are currently paying,”…

The post Assessing 15 Years Of FSG And Liverpool FC After Owners’ Message appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. LIVERPOOL, ENGLAND – MAY 21: Tom Werner Chairman of Liverpool poses with Jurgen Klopp manager of Liverpool and John W Henry Principal owner with wife Linda Pizzuti at the end of the Premier League match between Liverpool F.C. and Middlesbrough F.C. at Anfield on May 21, 2017 in Liverpool, England. (Photo by Nick Taylor/Liverpool FC/Liverpool FC via Getty Images) Liverpool FC via Getty Images Wednesday marked 15 years since Fenway Sports Group bought English Premier League club Liverpool FC. As part of the anniversary, three members of FSG, Liverpool’s principal owner John W. Henry, club chairman Tom Werner, and FSG president Mike Gordon published a message on the club’s website. It looked back on FSG’s 15 years at the club, reflected on certain achievements, looked ahead to the future, and even mentioned how they learned from some of the mistakes made since buying the club in 2010. FSG, then known as New England Sports Ventures, bought the club from Tom Hicks and George Gillett. The club was in dire straits at the time, and reports of it being close to administration were not exaggerated. Liverpool FC was on the brink. Following the first game after FSG bought the club—a 2-0 defeat against local rivals Everton a few months into the 2010/11 season—LFC was second from bottom in 19th place, with only goal difference keeping it off 20th. There’s no doubt that FSG saw a business opportunity to buy a huge sporting institution at its lowest ebb, but it also recognized a sporting project that was ripe for a rebuild. Though the “Moneyball” term that originated in baseball is applied to the signing of players undervalued by others for various reasons, many of the same ideas apply to FSG’s purchase of Liverpool. Club Culture This was a sleeping giant whose historic…

The post Japanese Yen strengthens above 150.50 amid ongoing US-China trade tensions appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The USD/JPY pair tumbles to around 150.85 during the early Asian session on Thursday. The US Dollar (USD) weakens against the Japanese Yen (JPY) due to the continuing trade tensions between the US and China. The Federal Reserve (Fed) officials are set to speak later on Thursday, including Michael Barr, Stephen Miran, Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman.  US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that he saw the US is in a trade war with China, even as Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent proposed a longer pause on high tariffs on Chinese goods to resolve a conflict over critical minerals. Concerns over escalating trade tensions between the world’s two largest economies could boost the safe-haven currencies like the JPY and act as a headwind for the pair.  Traders assess comments from Fed Chair Jerome Powell for more cues on upcoming rate cuts amid a US government shutdown, which has hampered the timely release of key data. On Tuesday, Powell left the door open to rate cuts by saying the US labor market remained mired in low-hiring, low-firing doldrums. He said the absence of official economic data due to the government shutdown has not prevented policymakers from being able to assess the economic outlook, at least for now. On the other hand, the growing speculation that the political uncertainty in Japan could put pressure on the Bank of Japan (BoJ) to delay interest rate hikes further could weigh on the JPY. The Liberal Democratic Party (LDP)–Komeito coalition came to an abrupt end last week. The development means the newly elected LDP leader, Sanae Takaichi, would need support from other parties to confirm her as Japan’s first female Prime Minister and for her key policies.

The post Bitcoin Short-Term Holders Struggle to Stay in Profit Despite ‘Euphoria’ appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key points: Bitcoin’s NUPL metric repeats past bull-market tops with a move from “optimism” to “euphoria.” The Bitcoin realized cap is increasingly in the hands of short-term holders. New investors continue to get squeezed by range-bound BTC price performance. Bitcoin (BTC) may be in its “final expansion” to a blow-off top despite recent lows, new research says.  In one of its Quicktake blog posts on Wednesday, onchain analytics platform CryptoQuant showed BTC price history repeating itself. Bitcoin NUPL implies “shift from optimism to euphoria” Bitcoin is headed for its new cycle top as the balance of control between old and new hodlers shifts. CryptoQuant data revealed that the ratio of unrealized profit and loss (NUPL) has crossed into territory that has accompanied previous blow-off tops. “The NUPL currently sits at +0.52, a zone historically marking the shift from optimism to euphoria,” contributor XWIN Research Japan wrote.  “In previous cycles, such as 2017 and 2021, NUPL readings above 0.5 signaled that most investors were in profit, driving speculative activity. Today, around 97% of circulating supply is in profit, reflecting strong market confidence but also suggesting limited upside without consolidation.” Bitcoin NUPL. Source: CryptoQuant Speculatory entities — those hodling for up to 155 days and defined as short-term holders (STHs) — now make up a record 44% of Bitcoin realized cap.  Realized cap is the sum total of the supply at the price at which it last moved. CryptoQuant explains that a high STH ratio implies that newer investors are inheriting the supply from older investors who are taking profit. This includes the largest investor cohort, the whales. “In past cycles, this transfer of dominance from LTH to STH has coincided with the final expansion phase of a bull market,” the post continued.  Bitcoin whale realized cap ownership (screenshot).
