New BITmarkets Study Finds No Direct Correlation Between Economic Globalization and Cryptocurrency Market Size
A new research study by cryptocurrency exchange BITmarkets, which challenges conventional assumptions about global economic integration and digital assets, has found no direct correlation between the degree of economic globalization and cryptocurrency market development. Bitcoin in particular has shown resilience and growth patterns that do not align with traditional globalization patterns. A comprehensive study by BITmarkets' analytical department, titled 'Globalization and the Crypto Market: Do They Influence One Another?', was presented to the crypto exchange's community in July 2025. Other key insights include: Born During 'Slowbalization': Bitcoin emerged in the aftermath of the 2008–2009 financial crisis, coinciding with the beginning of what economists call the 'slowbalization' period. Tech Stock Correlation: Bitcoin shows a stronger correlation with the Nasdaq index (approximately 0.5) than with gold (just above 0.2), suggesting it behaves more like a technology stock than a traditional store of value. 'We examined three major globalization metrics to find common ground between globalization and cryptocurrency. Our analysis found that while globalization has stagnated since the 2008 financial crisis, even showing signs of retreat in recent years, the cryptocurrency market has experienced unprecedented growth during this period and thereafter,' said Ali Daylami, Head of Data Analytics at BITmarkets. 'This suggests that digital assets are evolving as a truly disruptive force, developing independently of traditional economic integration patterns.' Methodology and Scope The study analyzed multiple globalization metrics, including: Trade Openness Index KOF Globalisation Index Frankel Index On the cryptocurrency side, researchers focused on Bitcoin due to its longest historical track record and dominant market share. Bitcoin's price activity, adoption trends, and market capitalization were studied and analyzed in detail. Implications for the Financial Sector The research findings have significant implications for how financial institutions and investors alike should view cryptocurrency markets and their development in relation to global economic trends. 'The data shows that cryptocurrencies may be carving out their own path in the global financial ecosystem,' Daylami explained. 'Rather than following traditional measures of economic development tied to globalization, digital assets appear to be creating an alternative financial infrastructure that transcends conventional economic boundaries.' Market Context The study comes at a time when the total cryptocurrency market capitalization stands at approximately $3.4 trillion USD, with Bitcoin maintaining around 60% of cryptocurrency market dominance. The research suggests that this growth has occurred despite—or perhaps precisely because of—the slowdown in traditional globalization. The analysis also found that while globalization peaked around 2008–2009 and has since stagnated, particularly following the COVID-19 pandemic, cryptocurrency adoption has accelerated among both retail and institutional investors.

A bilingual journalist, Mr. Itnalmath had worked for decades in Kannada and English newspapers. Before joining the newsroom, he had worked for Vimochana Sansthe, founded by B.L. Patil, for the rehabilitation of Devadasis and the education of their children. He was involved in running a school for the children of Devadasis in Athani and a clinic in Saundatti. Mr. Itnalmath was respected for his in-depth understanding of various social and political issues. He led several campaigns through his reports. They included comprehensive irrigation of the drier regions of Belagavi district like Athani, Nippani and Ramdurg, and creation of a new Athani district.

Mr. Itnalmath was known for his dedication to truth and impactful reporting over a career. His analytical stories and sharp political commentary left a lasting impression on the readers. His journalistic contributions played a significant role in highlighting local issues and influencing public discourse in the region, Mr. Kore said. Mahantesh Kavatagimath, former MLC and KLE society director, said that Mr. Itnalmath had been a relentless campaigner for the cause of northern Karnataka.

Spacetech startup GalaxEye announces plans to build second satellite with 0.5m resolution
Bengaluru, 20th June, 2025 — GalaxEye, a Bengaluru-based space-tech startup pioneering Syncfusion SAR-Optical imaging satellite technology, has announced the development of its second satellite amid growing global demand for sharper and faster geospatial insights. Engineered to deliver near 0.5 metre resolution, the satellite will ensure elevation in detail and quality of insights for the defence use cases among other critical sectors. The announcement follows closely on the heels of GalaxEye's upcoming first satellite, Mission Drishti, which is scheduled for launch later this year. Drishti offers a resolution of 1.25 metres and serves as a key milestone in demonstrating the company's proprietary technology stack, including a proven sensor system and Data Processing pipeline tested over 500 drone flights and spaceflight missions such as the POEM payload. GalaxEye's second satellite will not only deliver improved spatial resolution but also reduce revisit time to under three days, significantly enhancing the responsiveness and utility of its constellation. Notably, the world's first SyncFusion SAR-Optical satellite, originally designed in India, will now also be fully built in-house—highlighting GalaxEye's growing manufacturing and systems integration capabilities. To support this expansion, the company also plans to scale its facilities in the near future. 'Building on the experience from our first satellite—set to launch later this year—and the evolving needs of our defence customers, we're thrilled to take the next big step in scaling our constellation and deepening our mission impact,' said Suyash Singh, Founder & CEO of GalaxEye. 'What excites us most is that this second satellite will be entirely built in-house. Our sensor stack has already been tested on over 500 aerial test flights, backed by a proprietary signal processing toolchain, the success of the POEM payload, the Drishti (1.25m) launch, and purpose-built software to extract actionable insights. As we move forward, we're committed to greater vertical integration—working closely with resilient partners across the satellite supply chain. The world today demands faster, sharper, and more persistent eyes in the sky. With enhanced resolution and performance, our second satellite marks a significant leap in unlocking richer, more detailed analytical intelligence.' GalaxEye extends its gratitude towards ISRO, IN-SPACe and NAL for their guidance and support. Their commitment to nurturing India's space-tech ecosystem has been vital in our journey to push boundaries in Earth observation innovation. At a time when geopolitical conflicts and cross-border threats are escalating, nations are actively seeking sharper, more reliable satellite data to safeguard national interests. The second satellite, designed with mission-critical applications in mind, offers real-time, all-weather capabilities and will also serve adjacent sectors like disaster response, urban security, maritime awareness and risk intelligence. 'As early backers of GalaxEye, it's incredibly rewarding to see them announce their second satellite. The dual-use potential of their technology — spanning defence, national security, and commercial sectors — is truly exciting. GalaxEye's bold vision to bring reliability and Service Level Agreements to satellite imagery – all time all weather imagery – is a game-changer. We've believed in their mission from the start, and with the technology now de-risked, it's time to scale.' said Vishesh Rajaram, Managing Partner at Speciale Invest. With the launch targeted for late 2026 or early 2027, the company is currently undergoing mission concept and preliminary design reviews, and is strategically positioning to expand into high-priority international defence markets including the United States, West Asia and Europe.
