According to Leah Callon-Butler (@leah_cb) on Twitter, the next major CoinDesk Consensus conference is set for Toronto in 2025, following recent networking events in London. This announcement signals a strategic focus on North American blockchain use cases, attracting institutional and retail interest. Traders should monitor Consensus 2025 as a catalyst for increased crypto market activity, potential new partnerships, and product launches, which historically have affected token prices and sector momentum (source: @leah_cb Twitter, May 9, 2025).

According to Crypto Rover, a Taiwanese congressman has publicly urged the government to acquire Bitcoin as a strategic reserve, stating 'Bitcoin is the gunpowder of the digital era' (source: Crypto Rover on Twitter, May 9, 2025). This development signals potential institutional adoption in Asia, which could drive increased demand and liquidity in the Bitcoin market. Traders should monitor Taiwan's policy discussions closely, as government-level accumulation could act as a bullish catalyst for both Bitcoin and the broader cryptocurrency market.
