-
The crypto community celebrated a big win this week with the US court of appeals ruling favor in favor of Grayscale but the SEC delayed the decision on a round of ETF applications
-
Bitcoin drops 4.7% to dip below $26,000 over the past 24 hours, immediately following revelations the SEC would be delaying several filings for a US spot ETF until October.
-
Former SEC chair says spot Bitcoin ETF approval is 'inevitable' despite delays. The commission has another 45 days to approve, deny, or delay spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund applications from 7 major firms including Blackrock and Grayscale.
-
Monthly trading volumes for Ethereum NFTs hit their lowest level in two years as activity on OpenSea, Blur, LooksRare and X2Y2 dried up. OpenSea’s active users fell 12% to 126,000 in August — the lowest since July 2021.
-
Unrelated to the markets… BitBoy, AKA Ben Armstrong, a former guest on our Web3 Unpacked podcast, came out publicly and admitted to having an affair and explained that his erratic behavior was due to being on diet pills and steroids. Whether you subscribe to Ben’s channel and or invest in his coins, the Ben and his wife deserve their privacy to deal with these very personal issues.
-
and lastly, with the crypto market hitting lows, it’s easy to get discouraged, but its important to understand that important regulations and asset class’s are being defined right now, and thats a good thing! Crypto volume and momentum is still high, so Keep Calm and Hodl On!

Welcome back everyone, it’s Friday August twenty fifth, twenty three, and this is your weekly Crypto review. Here are some highlights to bring you up to speed…
The Biden administration unveils new crypto tax reporting rules, stating Cryptocurrency brokers, including exchanges and payment processors, would have to report new information on users' sales and exchanges of digital assets to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) under a proposed U.S. Treasury Department rule published on Friday. The rule is part of a broader push by Congress and regulatory authorities to crack down on crypto users who may be failing to pay their taxes. For more on Crypto taxation and accounting, be sure to check out part one of our Web3 Unpacked accounting episodes.
Coinbase Global, the company behind the largest crypto exchange in the U.S., announced Monday that it acquired an equity stake in Circle Internet Financial, the issuer of USDC, the second-largest stablecoin by market capitalization.
Bitcoin's mining difficulty level reached an all-time high of 55.62 trillion hashes this week. According to Bitfinix analysts, the increase in mining difficulty suggests "miners believe the current BTC level is fairly valued, or maybe a little under priced of its true value."
The controversial crypto project co-created by Sam Altman saw its WLD token drop 9.1% over the past 24 hours and 43.6% over the past 30 days. Despite launching only recently, Worldcoin finds itself facing regulatory headwinds due to concerns over data privacy. The backlash has led to the exclusion of U.S. residents from purchasing or trading the token, exacerbating selling pressure.
XRP whale moves 29 million tokens to Bitstamp amid price slide.
and finally… Shopify, the cornerstone of global e-commerce facilitating transactions worth a staggering $444 billion worldwide, has opened its doors to Solana Pay. This collaboration enables millions of businesses operating on the Shopify platform to offer their customers Solana Pay as a secure payment option. This is a very good thing, GO Shopify and Solana!

08.18.23 - Weekly Crypto Review
Welcome back everyone, it’s Friday August eighteenth, twenty three, and this is your weekly Crypto review. Here are some highlights to bring you up to speed…
- On Thursday, bitcoin fell 7.2% in its biggest one-day drop since November 2022 when FTX exchange collapsed. Investors sold $489 million in bitcoin futures over a 24-hour period, the largest single-day liquidation since June 2022, according to data provider Coinalyze. It’s our opinion, the dip is most likely due to big movement in China markets, and potentially Blackrock and other large players, pushing the prices down, in order to buy low to pump future ETF positions.
- The New York Times is contemplating legal action against OpenAI, the organization behind ChatGPT. The crux of the dispute lies in copyright concerns surrounding the use of the newspaper's content. This is a contemporary theme MVMT Media will be tracking and repotting on more in the future.
- Coinbase, the largest crypto exchange in the U.S., announced on Wednesday that it obtained regulatory approval to offer crypto futures trading services to eligible clients in the country.
- The Shiba Inu (SHIB) token launched its layer-2 scaling solution, Shibarium, on the Ethereum blockchain on Thursday, but US$1.7 million worth of ETH was stuck on the Shibarium bridge, according to on-chain intelligence firm PeckShield, leading an over 7% drop in SHIB’s price.
- Binance announced the shutdown of its crypto payment service, Binance Connect, on Wednesday. Previously known as “Bifinity,” Binance Connect was a fiat-to-crypto payment ramp for the exchange, allowing users to buy cryptocurrencies through Mastercard and Visa.
- XRP, the fifth largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, dropped 20.09% to US$0.505 after the SEC was granted the request to file an interlocutory appeal in its lawsuit against Ripple Labs.
- Litecoin, the world’s 15th largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, fell 21.65% to US$65.12, as part of a broader downward movement in the crypto market. The global crypto market capitalization stood at US$1.06 trillion on Friday at 9:00 p.m. in Hong Kong, down by more than US$100 billion over the past week, CoinMarketCap data shows.

Good afternoon. It’s Friday, June 9th, and this is your Web 3 Unpacked Weekly Crypto Review. Here are some highlights to bring you up to speed:
It’s been a wild week for crypto exchanges as the SEC continues to wage war on dominant exchanges and financial products…
- The SEC Files Emergency Action to Freeze Binance.US Assets. The SEC alleges Binance and its founder, Changpeng Zhao or CZ, have demonstrated a "disregard" for U.S. law. The SEC is accusing them of fraudulent activities, improper commingling of funds, and operating as an unregistered securities exchange.
- The SEC Charges Coinbase for Operating as an Unregistered Securities Exchange, Broker, and Clearing Agency, despite countless efforts by CEO Brian Armstrong and his team to work with the SEC to help define regulations and asset classes. If you dont already follow Coinbase on Twitter, I highly recommend it, the SEC, Crypto battle is well underway and things are just about to get interesting.
- Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen ‘very supportive’ of SEC using enforcement power against Binance and Coinbase. BIG SUPRISE!
- XRP’s ongoing legal battle with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission continues, with the regulator alleging that Ripple offered unregistered securities via XRP. Some say the SEC has less then three percent chance of winning, and I would have to agree with that.
- US senators propose A I bills for transparency and innovation. The bipartisan bills target government transparency when using A I and the formation of a new Office of Global Competition Analysis to stay on top of innovation.
- Custodia Bank won a step forward in its legal battle against the Federal Reserve, as a Wyoming federal judge denied dismissal motions from both the Fed and the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City.
