Jennifer Lopez declares she is not looking for no man after Tiffany Haddish's flirty AMA banter
Jennifer Lopez took the stage, and the spotlight, at the 2025 American Music Awards with a show-stopping opening number, and later, a refreshingly honest relationship update. Following the performance, where Lopez delivered a rapid-fire medley of 23 songs in just six minutes, Access Hollywood asked her about Tiffany Haddish's playful reaction. Haddish had joked during the show about wanting to go 'manhunting' with Lopez after watching her kiss several dancers on stage. Jennifer Lopez clears the air on her dating status, again! Laughing off the moment, Lopez shared that she is not looking to start a new romance anytime soon. She told the outlet that when Haddish made the comment to her, she responded with a smile, saying she is happy as she is and not trying to complicate things. That light-hearted but firm answer comes just months after her divorce from actor Ben Affleck, finalised in January 2025. The couple had rekindled their relationship in 2021 and were married for less than two years before calling it quits. A focus on family and career In a separate interview with PEOPLE before the AMAs, Lopez reflected on the positive direction her life is taking. She shared that she feels good, healthy, and excited about what is to come, especially her upcoming summer plans. Next on her agenda is headlining WorldPride in Washington, D.C., which she described as a performance-focused show she is currently preparing. Lopez also revealed that her 17-year-old twins, Max and Emme, are expected to join her at the event, adding that she is looking forward to having them there. A confident step into a new chapter Lopez made it clear she is embracing this stage of her life with confidence. She expressed excitement about making people smile, sing, and dance through her music, something she continues to prioritise as she moves forward personally and professionally. While she might have kissed a few dancers on stage, it seems Lopez is kissing dating goodbye for now, and focusing on herself instead.

Bitcoin Approaches $100,000 After Breaking Through 10-Week High
(Bloomberg) — Bitcoin is fast approaching $100,000 once again, after reaching its highest level since late February, with investors' appetite for risk being rekindled across financial markets. NJ Transit Urges Commuters to Work Remotely If Union Strikes NYC Lost $9 Billion of Income to Miami, Palm Beach in Five Years New York City Transit System Chips Away at Subway Fare Evasion NYC's Congestion Toll Raised $159 Million in the First Quarter The Last Thing US Transit Agencies Should Do Now The original cryptocurrency has faced downward pressure in recent weeks as Donald Trump's tariff policy prompts a steep rout in both the stock and digital-asset market. It had dropped as much as 30% after reaching a record high of about $109,000 on Jan. 20, the day Trump was inaugurated for a second time as US president. The largest token by market value climbed as much as 3.1% to $97,483, the highest since Feb. 21. Bitcoin last traded at $100,000 in Feb. 7. Many smaller tokens rallied even more on Thursday, with Dogecoin jumping 4.8% and Ether up 3.3%. The respite comes amid an uptick in the spot markets with muted demand for derivatives that are typically used for adding leverage, suggesting a shift toward momentum trading from a trend in which Bitcoin prices are largely driven my macroeconomic factors such as inflations and tariffs. Exchange-traded funds tracking Bitcoin and Ether raked in over $3.2 billion last week, with the iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (ticker IBIT) alone seeing a nearly $1.5 billion inflow — the most this year, data compiled by Bloomberg show. Liquidations in both bullish and bearish bets on crypto assets remain subdued while demand for upside exposure in the options market has increased with the call options with the strike price of $100,000 seeing the most open interest across all tenors, according to data compiled by Coinglass and the largest crypto options exchange Deribit. 'Market sentiment has broadly shifted in favor of momentum based trades fueled by spot demand, as BTC breaches levels not seen since early February,' said Chris Newhouse, director of research at Ergonia, a DeFi trading firm. 'BTC continues to shift between correlations with gold and equities — highlighting a more nuanced and dynamic relationship with macro factors balanced with short-term momentum and spot demand.' The crypto market saw a sharp drop early last month as Trump unveiled his tariffs against some of the largest US trading partners. Investors rotated their capital out of digital assets amid the risk-off environment, triggering sizable liquidations in crypto futures contracts.

ETF Store President dares Bitcoin skeptics with one question
On April 30, Nate Geraci, the president of the ETF Store, rekindled the discussion about the future of Bitcoin with a question on X. He asked, 'What would it take for you to believe that Bitcoin is here to stay?' In echoing Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan, he emphasized increasing institutions ripening in hedge funds and universities to BlackRock and Tesla along with the expansion of ETF access and adoption on the government level. Hougan's latest Bitwise report, titled 'Q1 2025: The Best Worst Quarter in Crypto's History,' — reflects the dichotomy of a bullish backdrop for the market despite falling prices. Even after big wins — the U.S. instituting a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and the SEC softening the regulatory grip — crypto markets tumbled: the Bitwise 10 Large Cap Crypto Index declined by 18%, crypto equities by 27% and Ethereum by 45%. Even as the cost of cryptocurrencies continues to tumble, the Bitwise report, dated Apr 16, points to substantial growth under the surface. The value of stablecoins reached a record $218 billion, an increase of 13.5% from the previous quarter. The same was true for tokenized real-world assets, like digital versions of real estate or bonds, which surged more than 370%. Interestingly, Hougan also predicted on April 30 that mainstream wealth management platforms such as Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, Wells Fargo, UBS and the like are supposed to fully open the Bitcoin ETF investment channel by the end of 2025, to free more than $10 trillion worth of potential investment intention, as per reports.

Stocks continue relief rally for third day
Despite an uncertain start, Wall Street continued its relief rally on Thursday morning, a day after President Trump floated a potential trade deal with China. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dipped in early trading but quickly climbed, increasing 236 points, or 0.6% by 11:45 a.m. EST. The S&P 500 rose 67 points, or 1.2%, while the Nasdaq Composite increased 1.8%. After early gains, the indexes steadied by midday. It was unclear whether the market rebound would continue for a third day after futures slumped, as Mr. Trump's trade war continues to roil markets. Investors, however, are placing confidence in the markets keeping the president's policies in check. "The latest shift in tone from the White House has rekindled confidence in the 'Trump put' — the notion that when tested by the market, the president will soften his stance — whether on trade or Fed independence," said Ulrike Hoffmann-Burchardi, the CIO for global equities at the UBS Chief Investment in a research note. The relief rally started Tuesday after Mr. Trump signaled he would lower tariffs on China and also walked back comments that he would fire Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, who along with the Federal Open Market Committee, is in charge of setting interest rates. China has denied the countries are in active negotiations over tariffs, with Ministry of Commerce spokesman He Yadong calling those claims "groundless as trying to catch the wind." Trade talks, however, are underway with other nations that could be impacted by so-called reciprocal tariffs, which are currently on pause for 90 days. U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer began talks with Vietnam on Tuesday with a virtual meeting with trade minister Nguyen Hong Dien, described as "productive," in a statement from the U.S. trade representative's office. Tariffs aren't only top of mind for investors — they're also worrying everyday Americans. An AP-NORC poll released today found that over three-fourths of Americans think tariffs will drive up the costs of consumer prices. The International Monetary Fund earlier this week projected slower U.S. economic growth this year in its World Economic Outlook, citing headwinds from the escalating trade war and "high levels of policy uncertainty." Despite the slowdown, the organization does not predict a recession. Analysts also remain optimistic as far as the likelihood of a recession is concerned. "Shifting narratives out of Washington have kept volatility elevated, but it's possible that tariffs will turn out to be more of a hit to earnings and the markets rather than a recession event," said Daniel Skelly, head of Morgan Stanley's wealth management market research & strategy team.
