Cryptocurrency prices have dropped significantly in the past six months. Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) closed March 30 at roughly $66,700, more than 45% down from its October high. Growing risk-off sentiment, low trading volumes, and geopolitical tensions have all contributed to the decline of the leading crypto. The waning interest also fits with historical price patterns: Bitcoin tends to enter a rut after hype-driven rallies, such as last year's wave of enthusiasm about potential legislative progress, mainstream adoption, and a pro-crypto administration. However, an end may be in sight for the latest crypto dip. A recent note from Goldman Sachs suggests Bitcoin may have reached its bottom. Image source: Getty Images. Continue reading

The French government will offer loans of as much as €50,000 ($57,600) to small businesses that are the most exposed to rising fuel costs in transportation, fishing and agriculture. The loans will run for 36 months and are limited to companies in those sectors that spend at least 5% of their revenue on fuel. They will be issued through an online platform run by public investment bank Bpifrance, the finance ministry said in a statement late Friday. The government had already announced very limited fuel subsidies for sectors including trucking and fishing, and an expanded distribution of energy support to low-income households. But it has so far avoided broader, costly measures after indiscriminate outlays in 2022 contributed to expanding a budget deficit the country is still struggling to reduce. On Thursday, French Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu asked ministers to prepare measures to help individuals who depend on cars after fuel prices surged on the Iran war.

The small-business loans announced late Friday will carry an interest rate of 3.8%, won’t require any guarantees from borrowers, and can be applied for from April 13, the finance ministry said.
