20th June: Crypto & Coffee at 8
🟢 SEC drops investigation into Ethereum 🟠 German Government Moves $425M Bitcoin 🏦 Bank of Thailand — De-Dollarization by CBDC 🏦Iran to launch CBDC ❗

🟢 Consensys mentioned via Twitter (X) that the Enforcement Division of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has notified them that it is closing its investigation into Ethereum 2.0. This means that the SEC will not bring charges alleging that sales of ETH are securities transactions. Tweet here https://lnkd.in/dqDEpVbg

❗ The decision follows a letter Consensys sent on June 7, asking the SEC to confirm that the May ETH ETF approvals, which were premised on ETH being a commodity, meant the agency would close its Ethereum 2.0 investigation.

  • To what extent do the US elections influence the SEC’s decision-making process?

⚡ German Government Agency has transferred $425M in Bitcoin, some are to Crypto Exchanges Arkham previously identified the address as belonging to the German Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA), which had seized nearly 50,000 BTC from a piracy site. Transactional data shows deposits worth $32 million each to Kraken Digital Asset Exchange and Bitstamp, which may indicate intentions to sell.

⚡6,500 BTC to the address here https://lnkd.in/d3kEsM9A and then back to itself. The power of publicly verifying transactions. With FIAT & CBDC it is impossible for the average person to verify transactions! Arkham CEO Miguel More told CoinDesk over Telegram Messenger info here https://lnkd.in/dBTNF9nm

🔵 The Bank of Thailand is increasing its gold reserves to support a de-dollarized trading system using the Mbridge CBDC project. Analyst Jan Nieuwenhuijs suggests this move addresses trade imbalances and follows China’s gold-buying trend. The recent cooperation between China and Thailand aims to facilitate non-dollar trading and promote de-dollarization. Info via Bitcoin.com here https://lnkd.in/dihpdt28
- How is this connected to Petro Dollar?

🚨 Iran — CBDC
- Iran’s central bank has launched a pilot scheme for its digital currency, the digital rial, starting June 21 on Kish Island. The island, situated in the Persian Gulf and known for its free trade zone status, will allow banking customers and tourists to use the digital rial. Kish Island attracts millions of visitors annually and does not require visas for tourists from various countries. Official info here https://lnkd.in/d2CZxTuD

🚨SEC vs Ripple $102.6 M settlement offer 🚨Riot Platforms, Inc. V/S Bitfarms 🟠 MicroStrategy to buy more hashtag#BTC 👮🏻‍♂️Owners of Darknet- “Empire Market” charges

🚨SEC vs Ripple — Update
- The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission sought a hefty $2 Billion penalty from Ripple. However, this has been lowered to $102.6 Million s just a day after Ripple filed a legal brief arguing that the original $2 Billion penalty was unreasonable.

❗ A legal document shared by defence lawyer James Filan via Twitter (Now X) revealed a substantial reduction in the SEC’s proposed settlement amount for Ripple. Info here https://lnkd.in/dTBd5Gcu

❗ Ripple argued that the SEC typically seeks penalties between 0.6% and 1.8% of the defendant’s revenue in such cases, and proposed a settlement of only $10 Million. The SEC, however, rejected Ripple’s comparison, claiming it was irrelevant to their case.

🟠 Important to note
- Accepting the $102.6 million settlement wouldn’t clarify XRP’s legal status, leaving ambiguity for Ripple.
- Rejecting the settlement could lead to a lengthy court battle with an uncertain outcome and a potentially harsher penalty.

🚨 Riot Platforms 🆚 Bitfarms:
The corporate battle between crypto miners Riot Platforms and Bitfarms has escalated. On June 11, Riot increased its stake in Bitfarms to 13.1% by acquiring six million shares worth over $111 million. This move followed Bitfarms’ suggestion of a “poison pill” defense to prevent Riot from reaching a 15% stake. Riot’s earlier acquisition proposal was rejected by Bitfarms. Internal issues at Bitfarms, including the firing and subsequent lawsuit from former CEO Geoffrey Morphy, add to the ongoing dispute.

🟠 MicroStrategy, co-founded by Michael Saylor, plans to raise up to $786 million through the issuance of unsecured senior convertible notes. The funds will be used to buy more Bitcoin and for general corporate purposes. MicroStrategy currently holds 214,400 BTC, making it the largest institutional holder of the cryptocurrency. They plan to issue $500 million worth of unsecured senior convertible notes to buy up more BTC and further increase its record holding, the firm upsized that offering today to $700 million. Info via Decrypt here https://lnkd.in/d2PwTCzG

🟠 Owners of “Empire Market” Charged in Chicago With Operating $430 Million Dark Web Marketplace Official info via U.S. Department of Justice here https://lnkd.in/d6Ex3tpf Thomas Pavey and Raheim Hamilton have been charged in Chicago for operating “Empire Market,” a dark web marketplace that facilitated over $430 million in illegal transactions using cryptocurrency between 2018 and 2020. They face charges of drug trafficking, fraud, counterfeiting, and money laundering, with potential life sentences. The investigation seized $75 million in cryptocurrency, cash, and precious metals. Both are in custody and presumed innocent until proven guilty.

📊 Bidenflation 3.3%+ FOMC Intrest Unchained = Crypto 🚀Terraform to pay $4.47B to SEC 🟣 Circle + Solana Smart Wallet ❗Chinese President praises blockchain exec❗

📊 The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers was unchanged, seasonally adjusted, and rose 3.3 per cent over the last 12 months, not seasonally adjusted. Official info for Inflation via the Bureau of Labor Statistics here https://lnkd.in/dWGTExRs

  • How did hashtag#btc & hashtag#cryptomarket react?
  • Most cryptocurrency prices have pumped up by less than 5% since the CPI numbers were out!🚀

🟥 Federal Reserve Board chair Jerome Powell and his team have decided to keep the interest rate unchained at 5.25% — 5.50%. This could further pump the price in the coming days. We strongly recommend watching Jerome Powell’s video giving his reasoning via YouTube here https://lnkd.in/dRJPAB3K

🎙️ Check out the Blockchain DXB podcast we share our commentary on this

💰 4$B Fine
- Terraform Labs will pay the SEC $4.47 billion in a settlement for the Terra ecosystem collapse, which caused $40 billion in investor losses. The settlement includes fines and penalties, with former CEO Do Kwon personally liable for $204 million. He must transfer $4.7 million into escrow and liquidate crypto assets to cover these costs. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission lawsuit accused Terraform and Kwon of selling unregistered securities and fraud. The collapse of TerraUSD in 2022 led to significant losses. Kwon’s extradition is still undecided, with Montenegro courts deliberating between South Korea and the U.S. Official info https://lnkd.in/d_8V-5NN

🤝🏻 Circle + Solana
- Circle has expanded its Web3 Services to support the Solana blockchain, offering Programmable Wallets and Gas Station to simplify secure wallet integration for developers. This aims to enhance Solana’s growing ecosystem by making on-chain app development easier. Future updates will include support for NFTs and smart contracts. Circle’s ongoing support for Solana includes native USDC and EURC and aligns with its mission to facilitate global value exchange. Official info here https://lnkd.in/dFugEFvJ

👏🏻 Solana has tweeted so easily that even an Intern can use it!

🔵 Chinese President Xi Jinping sent an open letter that praised Andrew Chi-Chih Yao of Conflux and Tsinghua University for his contributions to education and innovation. Xi encouraged Yao to continue advancing talent and technology. Conflux, a blockchain supported by the Shanghai government, is the only regulatory-compliant public blockchain in China and leads a new infrastructure for the Belt and Road Initiative. Despite China’s crypto ban, Conflux’s token trades at $0.1947 with a market cap of $975 million. Letter here https://lnkd.in/dzng7HEn

🚀 Bidenflation (Consumer Price Index) & FOMC meeting by Federal Reserve Board are both schedule to take place today in the USA. How will this impact the price of #BTC & Rest of the crypto market? Check out Blockchain DXB podcast we share more information on this & more

🟤 SushiSwap is now managed by Sushi Labs, an autonomous company that will operate under a council structure similar to Synthetix.

On June 11 SushiSwap launches Sushi Labs, combining a DAO with council governance to improve decision-making. Despite debates on centralization, the model aims to engage the community in governance through council elections. The protocol adapts to financial challenges with revised tokenomics, targeting liquidity issues and enhancing rewards for token holders. Info here https://lnkd.in/dREQkF3E

🟢 Uwulend, an Ethereum-based lending protocol, was exploited for $20 million through three transactions converting Wrapped Bitcoin and DAI into Ether. The attack was detected by Cyvers Alerts early Monday. Uwulend has paused operations to investigate. The attacker’s wallet currently holds 1,282 ETH ($4.7 million), and the UWU token fell 3% to $2.91, continuing its 80% decline over the past year. The exploit stemmed from a price oracle issue across five tokens, manipulated through Tornado Cash. Uwulend, created by controversial QuadrigaX co-founder Sifu, has seen its total value locked drop to $66 million from a $115 million peak in April. More info via The Defiant here https://lnkd.in/d5rYxQsA

🟣 Polygon has launched a $720 million Community Treasury dedicated to supporting blockchain projects over the next 10 years. The CGP offers two tracks: the General Grant Track for all projects and the Consumer Crypto Track for everyday blockchain applications. Applications are open from June 11 to August 31. Ajit Tripathi said this to Cointelegraph more info here https://lnkd.in/dyKRfZzh

🚨 Australian MP Andrew Charlton stressed the need for blockchain technology to boost Australia’s economy by $60 billion and counteract slow productivity growth. At Australia’s Blockchain Week 2024, he noted productivity growth has declined from 2.1% in the 2000s to 0.9% in late 2023. Charlton highlighted blockchain’s potential to enhance various sectors and criticized the slow progress in digital asset regulation. He urged for a regulatory framework and tech skills development to attract digital asset startups, aiming to position Australia as a leader in digital asset innovation.

🔻Crypto — Do you bleed? 🔴Trump is the best choice for Bitcoin 🔵Ripple + National Bank of Georgia 🟣Solana Whales vs Solana Validators Drama 😱 OKXs 2 users hacked

🥶Global crypto market is down & The U.S.-listed spot BTC ETFs registered a cumulative outflow of over $64 million on Monday. See slides 1& 2 for a global crypto snapshot!

💯 Let’s Go Brandon!
- Brian Morgenstern has written a great article on Bitcoin Magazine that talks Why Donald Trump is the best Presidential candidate to foster a safe and innovative environment for Bitcoin. Article via Bitcoin Magazine here https://lnkd.in/dpmn8nwB

Check out Blockchain DXB’s Crypto & Coffee at 8 podcasts where we share our commentary on it

📊 The article also states that President Trump will ban CBDC, protect self-custody, and stop out-of-control regulators from trying to put us out of business. Brian Morgenstern is the head of public policy for Riot Platforms. He previously served as deputy assistant secretary of the Treasury and White House deputy press secretary.

🟣 Ripple is partnering with the National Bank of Georgia (NBG) to digitize Georgia’s economy, building on their previous collaboration on the digital lari, Georgia’s pilot Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC). Ripple executive James Wallis and EPAM Systems representative Alistair Brown met with Georgian officials to discuss enhancing financial technology and digitalization. Ripple, already involved in global CBDC projects in several countries, supports the development of CBDCs to facilitate asset tokenization, despite concerns about privacy and government surveillance. Info via LinkedIn post here https://lnkd.in/dEArRd22

🔻 Over 30 Solana validators were removed from the Solana Foundation Delegation Program for facilitating “sandwich attacks” on traders. Despite Solana lacking a native mempool, private mempools emerged after Jito Labs disabled theirs to protect traders. The Solana Foundation targets 32 operators and plans further penalties, with ongoing enforcement against those involved.

🔷 OKX 2 Users Suffer Hack
- On June 9, 2024, SlowMist Team reported a hack on two OKX users involving an SMS breach. Attackers created new API keys for withdrawals and trading, indicating a coordinated cybercrime group. OKX acknowledged the incident and is investigating. This highlights the need for stronger security standards in the crypto industry

💡 Kill Maker Dao — Rune Christensen 🟠Bitcoin with Zero Knowledge Proof? ❎Arbitrum $237 Million Gaming Proposal 🏆Binance Hits 200M users

🚨 Rune Christensen on Remaking MakerDAO and Replacing DAI
In an interview, MakerDAO founder Rune Christensen discussed his Endgame proposal to overhaul MakerDAO and replace its stablecoin, DAI. Key points include:
-Endgame Proposal- Aims to launch new stablecoins, generate new revenue streams, and create “subDAOs” for business expansion.

  • Decentralization: Christensen differentiates between using decentralization as a tool for resilience versus an end goal.

  • Governance: He believes MakerDAO’s governance is currently under-engineered and needs a more transparent framework.

-VC Opposition: Some VCs opposed Endgame, but new investors who support the proposal have since bought MKR tokens.

  • Future Goals: The proposal includes rebranding, new tokens, and yield farming to attract users and drive growth.

Christensen’s Endgame proposal seeks to ensure MakerDAO’s long-term success and resilience through innovation and adaptation. Check out Blockchain DXB’s Crypto & Coffee at 8 podcasts we share our thoughts and commentary on this

⚡ StarkWare plans to explore Bitcoin scaling using zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) with the OP_CAT soft fork proposal, marking a significant milestone. Despite progress, generating ZKPs at scale remains computationally expensive and less battle-hardened than Bitcoin’s current cryptographic techniques. Rollups, which use off-chain sequencing to scale applications, still rely on central operators and face security issues. BitVM has further spurred ZKP research, but challenges like liquidity and security concerns persist. Details here https://lnkd.in/dWTb5Cfj

🟢 The Arbitrum ecosystem is deliberating on a proposed $237 million program aimed at supporting gaming. However, the initiative faces significant opposition and demands for a repeal or re-vote. Critics are concerned about the substantial budget allocation, potential market repercussions, unclear legal structures, and high operational costs. Additionally, some voters have shifted their stance due to the increased earmarked funds and a perceived lack of transparency. While the proposal has backing from certain organizations, there are growing calls for a re-vote or repeal. https://lnkd.in/duE254f5

🚨 Binance announced via Twitter (X) it had surpassed the 200 million user mark, solidifying its status as the largest crypto exchange in the world. With this milestone, no other exchange comes close to challenging its dominance. Bybit, the second-largest exchange, reports only 27 million users. https://lnkd.in/dQdkpfAE

Today, we dive deep into blockchain and cryptocurrency, focusing on ICOs vs. STOs, asset tokenization, and key considerations for Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) and the danger of double spending.

Segment 1: ICOs vs. STOs

Purpose and Utility

  • ICOs: Raise capital via utility tokens for project access.

  • STOs: Issue security tokens with ownership rights, similar to traditional securities.

Regulatory Landscape

  • ICOs: Unregulated, high risk of fraud and lack of investor protection.

  • STOs: Comply with securities regulations, offering legal protections.

Investor Risks

  • ICOs: High risk due to project failures and scams.

  • STOs: Lower risk with regulatory compliance and transparency.

Market Dynamics

  • ICOs: Boomed in 2017, then declined due to regulation and skepticism.

  • STOs: Offer better liquidity and market access under regulated frameworks.

Segment 2: The Intricacies of Asset Tokenization

Asset Representation

  • Tokenize assets like real estate and artwork on a blockchain.

  • Tokens represent ownership or rights.

Fractional Ownership

  • Enables investment in fractions, making assets accessible to more investors.

  • Allows for portfolio diversification.

Liquidity

  • Blockchain platforms enable 24/7 trading, increasing liquidity.

  • Peer-to-peer transactions reduce costs.

Transparency and Security

  • Blockchain provides immutable transaction records.

  • Smart contracts automate processes and build trust.

Compliance and Regulation

  • Adhere to KYC and AML checks for legitimacy.

Interoperability

  • Standards like ERC-20 facilitate token transfer across networks.

Emerging Use Cases

  • Applications in supply chain, intellectual property, and identity management.

Segment 3: Tokenization in the Context of CBDCs

Asset Tokenization

  • CBDCs can represent various assets on blockchains.

Interoperability and Standards

  • Essential for cross-border transactions and compatibility with existing systems.

Smart Contracts and Programmability

  • Enable programmable transactions and automated compliance.

Privacy and Confidentiality

  • Balance transparency with privacy using advanced technologies.

Regulatory Considerations

  • Establish clear guidelines and frameworks for tokenized assets.

Technological Challenges

  • Address scalability, interoperability, and security issues.

Segment 4: Double Spending in Tokenized CBDCs

Double Spending Risk

  • Spending the same digital currency more than once.

Tokenization and Double Spending

  • Risk of counterfeit tokens or manipulated records.

Security Measures

  • Implement cryptographic techniques and consensus mechanisms.

  • Ensure integrity with digital signatures and timestamping.

Real-Time Transaction Verification

  • Reduce double spending risk with real-time verification and instant settlement.

Regulatory Oversight

  • Develop guidelines and collaborate with regulatory authorities.

Conclusion:

Tokenization and blockchain technology offer transformative potential. Understanding ICOs vs. STOs, asset tokenization, and CBDCs is crucial for navigating the evolving digital landscape. Stay tuned for more episodes on blockchain and digital finance's latest trends and innovations.

- Paxos has launched a new stablecoin called the Lift Dollar (USDL), issued by its UAE division and regulated by the Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) of Abu Dhabi Global Market. USDL is designed to generate a programmatic daily yield of around 5%, similar to the returns on U.S. Treasury bonds. Like other Paxos stablecoins, USDL is backed 1:1 with dollars and short-term U.S. government securities, ensuring asset safety and regulatory oversight.

💡Important to note Paxos USDL will not be available in the U.S. because of a lack of regulatory guidance. but will focus on the Argentine market through partners Ripio, Buenbit, and TiendaCrypto. For the launch, Paxos is reducing its asset management fee to 20 basis points, allowing users to receive a yield of more than 5%. Info via CoinDesk https://lnkd.in/dCKnNMwP

🚨 Coinbase has launched its Smart Wallet, designed to simplify the onboarding process for new users in the DeFi space. The wallet allows users to create a free, secure, self-custody wallet in seconds and seamlessly use their Coinbase balances. It also addresses challenges such as slow and expensive transactions and the need to manage multiple wallets. Coinbase’s new wallets aim to address challenges to the typical DeFi user experience, especially getting started. via Decrypt here https://lnkd.in/d-w_HGJg

🐶 The Bitcoin-based meme coin DOG, launched on the Runes protocol, is nearing a $1 billion market cap after a 200% rise in the past month. It is now the largest meme coin on Bitcoin and the seventh-largest overall. DOG, which debuted on April 20 during the bitcoin halving event, initially fell by 60% but has recently surged amid increased meme coin activity. The Runes protocol aims to improve transaction speed and cost on Bitcoin. DOG has seen nearly $100 million in trading volume in the past 24 hours, although meme coins remain highly volatile and driven by social media trends.

🚨 U.S. Treasury Isn’t Trying to Ban Crypto Mixers 💡PayPal PYUSD is now on Solana 💡Mastercard Launches “Crypto Credential”

🚨Consensys 2024

  • The U.S. Department of the Treasury is not aiming to ban cryptocurrency mixers, according to Brian Nelson, the Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence. Instead, FinCEN’s 2023 proposal seeks to increase transparency by requiring crypto companies to report transactions involving mixers, which are often used to evade anti-money laundering regulations. Nelson emphasized the need for privacy tools that do not facilitate criminal activities and called for collaboration between the industry and the Treasury to enhance financial privacy without enabling illicit financing.

⚡ What is the difference between privacy and anonymity?

🚨 The U.S. Department of the Treasury has also released Illicit Finance Risk Assessment of Non-Fungible Tokens https://tinyurl.com/34ubu4db

The U.S. Treasury’s risk assessment highlights that NFTs are vulnerable to fraud, scams, and money laundering, though they are rarely used for terrorist financing. The assessment notes fluctuating NFT market trends and identifies regulatory gaps and cybersecurity issues. Current measures partially mitigate risks, and recommendations include enforcing regulations, raising awareness, and engaging with both the private sector and international partners to address these vulnerabilities.

💰 PayPal announced that its stablecoin, PayPal USD (PYUSD), is now available on the Solana blockchain, enhancing its speed and cost-effectiveness. Jose Fernandez da Ponte of PayPal emphasized that this move supports their goal of creating a stable digital currency for commerce. Sheraz Shere of the Solana Foundation highlighted that Solana’s speed and scalability make it ideal for innovative, accessible payment solutions.

🔴Mt.Gox Transfers $9B 🚨BTC Bitcoin mining cost 🟢 Solana ETF next 💡SEC fined $1.8 million in fees

⚡ Mt. Gox, the defunct Bitcoin exchange, transferred over 140,000 BTC (worth around $9 billion) to a single address in thirteen transactions, likely as part of repayment plans to creditors by October 31, 2024. This movement of nearly 107,000 BTC since early Tuesday caused Bitcoin’s price to drop by 1.4%, falling to $67,680. The market reacted bearishly, anticipating selling pressure. Despite the transfers, rehabilitation trustee Nobuaki Kobayashi assured that no sale of Bitcoin or Bitcoin Cash had occurred and that the assets were being securely managed.

⚡ However, Bitcoin inflows to exchanges remain low. According to CryptoQuant, daily exchange inflows are at 25.9K BTC as of May 28, which is comparable to 2016 levels. An analyst believes that even if Mt. Gox creditors decide to sell, the market will be able to absorb the sell-off with only minor initial volatility, resulting in minimal price impact.

🚨 How will the price react once Mt.Gox starts to add 140,000 Bitcoin to the market? More Supply = Less demand

Bitcoin Power Dynamics:
💡 In early 2024, U.S. Bitcoin miners spent $2.7 billion on electricity, using 20,822.62 GWh of power. This energy could charge all U.S. electric vehicles 87.52 times or power 1.98 million households for a year. U.S. miners produced 44,102 BTC, or 37.84% of the global total of 116,550 BTC. Before the April halving, mining 1 BTC required 407,059.01 kWh ($52,144.26), but now it needs 862,635.55 kWh ($110,503.61). Info here https://lnkd.in/d7V6fUCN

  • It shows the cost of mining 1 BTC in the USA in 2024
  • It also shows daily power consumption mining Bitcoin by country. Kazakhstan (13.2%) is leading followed by Canada(6.5%) & Russia (4.7%)

💡 The USA still produces 170.41 BTC per day, followed by China at 95.09 & Kazakhstan at 59.56

‼️Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou of J.P. Morgan doubts the SEC will approve ETFs for cryptocurrencies like Solana. He highlights the SEC’s view that most cryptocurrencies are securities as a major obstacle, noting that even the approval of ETH ETFs is contentious due to classification uncertainties. Info via The Block https://lnkd.in/dMDhvdhH This could all change if U.S. policymakers pass legislation declaring most cryptocurrencies as non-securities. Maybe a Dogecoin ETF? or Ripple ETF

💰 A federal judge ordered the SEC to pay approximately $1.8 million in fees related to its civil case against Digital Licensing (Debt Box). This includes about $1 million for attorney fees and $750,000 for receiver fees. The order was issued on May 28 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Utah, alongside the dismissal of the case without prejudice. via Cointelegraph here https://lnkd.in/dmH-NRfP

👀 Satoshi Nakamoto’s Wallet 🚨Grayscale Investments CEO Michael Sonnenshein resigns ❗Hashgraph + Qatar Financial 💡Centre Russia and Iran- Single BRICS Currency

👀 Satoshi Nakamoto’s wallet now holds over 100 BTC after receiving an inadvertent transfer of 0.10754671 BTC, valued at $7,211. This brings the estimated total value of the wallet, which has remained untouched, to approximately $6.75 million. On May 17, at block height 843,872, an individual mistakenly sent 0.10754671 BTC to Satoshi’s wallet. Arkham Intelligence, a platform for on-chain monitoring and data, was the first to detect this erroneous transaction. “Someone accidentally sent 90% of their BTC holdings to Satoshi Nakamoto last night,” Arkham reported on Twitter (X) here https://lnkd.in/dKenaWsK. “They were attempting to sacrifice an Ordinal for [Pups Token], but accidentally sent almost their entire wallet balance instead — around $7K in BTC.”

🟩MakerDAO- newstable and puredai

🟢 Makerdao plans to replace its DAI stablecoin with two new ones: newstable and puredai. Newstable aims to be user-friendly and integrate smoothly with Makerdao’s ecosystem, while puredai focuses on extreme decentralization with minimal governance. The Endgame plan also introduces a new governance token for puredai and includes a lending platform to boost adoption. This initiative aims to enhance stability and scalability in Makerdao’s offerings.

🟤 Coins.ph, a leading cryptocurrency platform, has secured regulatory approval from the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) to introduce a peso stablecoin named PHPC. This stablecoin is set to be accessible to retail customers and will mark a milestone in the digital asset landscape of the Philippines. PHPC will be pegged one-to-one to the peso, backed by cash and cash equivalents stored in Philippine bank accounts, ensuring its stability and full redemption for pesos.

🟤Coins.ph envisions PHPC being utilised for various purposes such as remittances, trading, business to business (B2B) payments, and Web3 gaming, with the goal of reducing costs and enhancing efficiency. More info here via FintechNewsPh here https://tinyurl.com/26k5mkmu

🚀 Bidenflation 3.4% = Crypto 🚀DOJ accuses Brothers for $25M Ethereum Exploit🟢 Mastercard + Standard Chartered test Tokenization ❗UK authorities to seize crypto❗

📊 CPI (Consumer Price Index ) via the Bureau of Labor Statistics states Bidenflation at 3.4% Info can be found here https://tinyurl.com/2s6ker6t This has caused the price of #BTC & Crypto to pump. Based on this information & many other Federal Reserve Board chair Jerome Powell will decide to cut the interest rate, keep it the same or increase it. We strongly recommend looking at https://www.bls.gov/ it explains how Inflation is calculated

🚔 Two Brothers were arrested for attacking the Ethereum blockchain and stealing $25M in Cryptocurrency during a 12-second exploit, according to an indictment unsealed on Wednesday. Indictment here https://tinyurl.com/yruf2kxw

😱 The indictment claims the brothers, using their advanced computer science and math skills, manipulated Ethereum’s transaction process to access and alter pending transactions. They planned the scheme over several months, learning victim trading behaviours and setting up ways to hide their identities and the stolen funds. After executing the exploit, they used various methods to launder the money, including shell companies and foreign exchanges. Check out today’s Blockchain DXB podcast we explain in detail what they did

🔴 Mastercard and Standard Chartered Bank Hong Kong successfully tested Mastercard’s Multi-Token Network (MTN) by conducting an atomic swap of a tokenized carbon credit for cash. This took place in the Hong Kong Monetary Authority’s Fintech Supervisory Sandbox. A Mox Bank client deposited funds and requested to buy a carbon credit. SCBHK tokenized the carbon credit through Libeara, and MTN enabled a real-time swap of the tokenized assets across different blockchains. Info via Cointelegraph here https://tinyurl.com/ycnzkeku

👀 In April, a new UK law allows authorities to seize cryptocurrency assets from suspects without charging them with a crime. This change, effective from April 26, 2024, results from amendments to the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023 (ECCTA), which updated the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (POCA). Now, UK police and the National Crime Agency (NCA) can confiscate crypto assets and related physical items like flash drives and written passwords from those suspected of criminal activity. Additionally, authorities can “destroy” crypto assets if returning them to circulation is deemed harmful to the public, though the exact method of destruction has not been clarified.

🟢 Ethereum Proposal EIP 7702 by Vitalik Buterin 💳Mastercard + US banks work on Tokenization 👀Robinhood receives Wells notice by SEC 🔻Grayscale Withdraws Ethereum ETF

🟢 EIP 7702 Targets Enhanced Security and Compatibility

Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP) 7702 represents a pivotal advancement in Ethereum’s ecosystem, targeting enhanced security and compatibility. Authored by Vitalik Buterin along with co-authors Sam Wilson, Ansgar Dietrichs, and Matt Garnett. More info via GitHub here https://t.ly/PgcE5

🟢 EIP 7702 enhances Ethereum’s security and compatibility by avoiding obsolete opcodes, integrating with EIP 4337 for quantum computing readiness, and introducing a new transaction type. It simplifies interactions, reduces costs, and prioritizes user security. This proactive approach makes Ethereum resilient against future threats.

🎙️Check out Blockchain DXB podcast we explain this in detail. Also see slides 1 & 2 below for macro details of #defi, #stablecoins #BTC & more

💳 Mastercard, along with major US banks like Citigroup, Visa, and J.P. Morgan, is testing distributed ledger technology for banking settlements using tokenization. They’re trialing the Regulated Settlement Network (RSN), which streamlines settlement processes by converting various assets into tokens and settling them on a single platform. The ongoing trials, building on a previous 12-week pilot phase, now focus on simulating US dollar settlements. Source via Bloomberg https://t.ly/KXhMK

👀 Robinhood, a major American crypto exchange, received a Wells Notice from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, suggesting possible enforcement action for alleged breaches of securities laws. Details of the wells notice can be seen here https://t.ly/tlQVt via StreetInsider.com

As a result of the news, Robinhood’s share price fell 2.5% before the market opened, hitting $17.95 at 12:50 p.m

🔻 This news led to discontentment among investors. Additionally, a significant amount of Dogecoin was cashed out as Robinhood faced increased outflows. Dogecoin’s price dipped below $0.15 despite rising trading volumes, partly due to these developments and the liquidation of long positions worth nearly $4M.

🟢 James Seyffart, CFA, CAIA mentioned via Twitter (x) that Grayscale Investments just withdrew their 19b-4 filing for an #Ethereum futures ETF. Info here https://t.ly/QAxyf But Grayscale’s strategic Ethereum trust retraction filing raises questions. According to the James was Ethereum futures ETF was e essentially a trojan horse filing i, in order to create the same circumstances that allowed Grayscale to win the GBTC lawsuit (approve futures deny spot) but withdrawing doesn’t make sense right?

👀 687 #BTC move after a decade 🟢 SEC delays Invesco Galaxy spot Eth ETF decision ❗ Philippines- Cryptocurrency Regulatory Framework ❗OKX has turned off the p2p function in Nigeria

👀 A mysterious holder has moved Bitcoin (BTC) worth nearly $44 million after receiving the coins over 10 years ago On Sunday, 687.33 BTC worth $43.7 million were moved after being dormant for a decade. The coins were initially received in January 2014 and have not been touched since. The current price of BTC at $63,467 means the investor has gained 7,228%. The transaction fee paid to move the coins was less than $2. Via Decrypt https://lnkd.in/dE-wzdmv The power of publicly verifiabilty!

🏦 The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has postponed its decision on Invesco US Galaxy’s application for a spot Ether exchange-traded fund (ETF), setting the next deadline for July 5th. This delay extends the review period by another 60 days to thoroughly assess the proposed ETF and related issues. The SEC has also deferred decisions on applications from other Ether ETF issuers, including BlackRock, Fidelity Investments, Franklin Templeton, Hashdex, and Ark 21Shares. Analysts had anticipated these delays, with recent downgrades in the odds of approval for ETFs, reflecting doubts about the SEC’s readiness to approve such products within the expected timelines. Filing by the SEC here https://lnkd.in/da49qvhY

🔴 Emilio B. Aquino, chairperson of the Philippines SEC, plans to introduce a cryptocurrency regulatory framework later in 2024. The aim is to protect Filipino crypto users. The SEC recently requested Apple and Google to remove Binance’s apps from their stores, arguing Binance lacks the necessary license. Aquino expects swift compliance from the tech giants, given their past responsiveness. https://lnkd.in/d_NkpiMJ
Important to note On April 19, the commission requested the removal of Binance applications from the app markets of Apple and Google in the Philippines.

👀Consensys sues SEC 🔥Changpeng Zhao in Prison? 💡NFTs minted on the Bitcoin blockchain 🔥Yuga Labs — a new round of layoffs

🟢Consensys Sues the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to Defend the U.S. Ethereum Community- Does it seem like a very centralized decision? Info here states why they are seeing the SEC https://lnkd.in/dVMy75_W T

❗The lawsuit against the SEC challenges its attempt to regulate global, peer-to-peer computer networks like Ethereum, arguing it oversteps its authority. The SEC’s insistence on controlling Ethereum undermines its decentralized nature and harms developers, market participants, and the U.S. economy. By redefining legal standards, the SEC aims to claim oversight over Ethereum, threatening technological advancement and stablecoin policies. If successful, this regulatory overreach could devastate the cryptocurrency industry, leading to job losses and economic damage.

CZ is not #SAFU
Changpeng Zhao, faces up to three years in prison for money laundering violations. Prosecutors seek a harsher sentence than guidelines recommend due to the severity of violations. Binance admitted to evading anti-money laundering rules and agreed to a $4.32 billion penalty.

Final sentencing is scheduled to take place on 30th April

🔵 Bitcoin Miners Could Be Forced Out of Norway With Data Center Law

Norwegian lawmakers have passed a law requiring data centers to register with the government and report their ownership and services. The government aims to regulate the use of energy for crypto mining operations, with the intention of closing the door entirely on the industry. The new law is the first of its kind in Europe and aims to direct energy consumption towards “socially useful” services and infrastructure. Norway’s energy minister thinks Bitcoin miners cause large greenhouse gas emissions, and wants to push them out — but experts disagree on the evidence.

🔴Breaking SEC 🆚 Uniswap 👀 FDUSD stablecoin 🚀65 Million Ordinals 5 Million 🚨Salvadorans Linked to Chivo Wallet El Salvador’s compromised❗ First Tokenized Debt in El Salvador

🔴 Uniswap received a notice from the SEC about potential enforcement action regarding allegations of acting as an unregistered securities broker and exchange. Uniswap Labs CEO Hayden Adams expressed readiness to fight, emphasizing confidence in their legality and frustration with the SEC’s focus. The company denies its tokens are securities and criticizes the SEC’s approach. Uniswap argues U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission lacks congressional authority to regulate crypto markets, pointing to stalled regulatory efforts. The situation reflects broader regulatory uncertainty in the crypto industry. https://lnkd.in/dAsATPdv

💯 First Digital is expanding the usage of its stablecoin FDUSD among DeFi users. FDUSD has become the fourth-largest stablecoin with a market capitalization of $3.3 billion. The token has gained popularity due to Binance’s trading promotion and has seen a trading volume of over $10 billion in the past 24 hours, primarily from BTC, ETH, and USDT trading pairs on Binance. More info via CoinDesk here https://lnkd.in/dKJb-Yqj

📊 The Bitcoin network is experiencing a surge in “Ordinals inscriptions,” similar to NFTs, where digital content is inscribed onto individual satoshis, the smallest unit of Bitcoin. This trend has led to over 65 million inscriptions, generating over $458 million in network fees. This development coincides with the approaching halving event, reducing block rewards. Additionally, there’s a growing interest in incorporating Ordinals into Bitcoin decentralized finance (BTCFi), potentially leveraging layer 2 solutions to enable services like lending and derivatives markets. Info via Dune-Data

👀 A database with the personal information of over 5 million Salvadorans was recently leaked in a data breach forum. The database, which has been around since August and has recently been linked to Chivo, El Salvador’s national cryptocurrency wallet, has 144GB of data, including the full name, unique identity number, date of birth, address, and an HD pic of every user. Info via Bitcoin here https://lnkd.in/dnezdX4K

🔴 Bitfinex Securities and Inversiones Laguardia S.A. de C.V. have launched El Salvador’s first tokenized debt offering, aiming to raise $6.25 million through the HILSV token on the Liquid Network. This initiative supports the construction of a Hampton by Hilton hotel complex at the international airport, reflecting El Salvador’s evolving digital asset landscape since adopting bitcoin as legal tender in 2021.

👀Solana Network congestion 🔻PayPal stablecoin down by 38%🔻 MicroStrategy and Coinbase stock 🚀 Base 1 in 6 memes are scams 👀

👀 The Solana network is experiencing significant congestion problems, resulting in a staggering 70% failure rate for transactions

🔴 Solana, known for speed and low fees, faces congestion, with 70% of transactions failing. Anza developers are addressing issues linked to internet protocols. Memecoin speculation and bot trading contribute to increased traffic. Anatoly Yakovenko notes the technical challenges in fixing the network. Scalability remains a concern. This highlights the need for robust network design and continuous development in blockchain.

Last week Solana (SOL) and its associated tokens, including Wormhole (W) and Dogwifhat (WIF), have experienced significant losses in the past 24 hours. SOL is down 7%, while W and WIF have dropped by 17% and 12% respectively. Congestion issues on the Solana network have contributed to these declines.

❓How will Centralized Blockchain Solana fix the issue?

🔴 In March, the circulation of PayPal’s stablecoin, PYUSD, dropped by 39% compared to February, totaling $188.5 million. The stablecoin’s circulation peaked in February and January at $304 million and $301 million, respectively. As of March 29, the PayPal USD treasury included $14.9 million in United States Treasury bonds. Despite the drop, PYUSD remains backed by U.S. dollar deposits and Treasurys. Market capitalization for PYUSD has declined since late February but recently saw a 3% increase, reaching $194 million. Launched in August 2023 in collaboration with Paxos Trust, PYUSD has gained prominence as the 13th largest stablecoin by market capitalization.

🚀 Bitcoin’s surge near $72,000 has boosted the stock prices of companies tied to the cryptocurrency. MicroStrategy’s stock rose over 6% to $1,531.67, driven by its aggressive Bitcoin acquisitions totaling $15 billion. Coinbase, America’s largest crypto exchange, also saw a 6% increase, reaching $255.99 per share. Tesla, holding over 9,000 BTC, saw a 5% rise in its stock price. Bitcoin mining companies like Hut 8 Crop and CleanSpark experienced marginal increases as well. Via Decrypt here https://lnkd.in/dJbJrSdP

❗ Base, a Layer 2 blockchain, was launched by Coinbase to improve Ethereum’s scalability and speed. However 1 in 6 new Base meme coins are scams, 91% have vulnerabilities The tokens were analyzed by automated auditors on the trading analytics platform DEXTools to determine whether each project has implemented three fundamental security measures: locked liquidity, verified contracts and absence of honeypots.

💡 Ripple stablecoin 👀 Do Kwon & Terraform Labs Liable for Fraud❗ 🤘🏻Avenged Sevenfold NFT ⚫BlackRock ETF update

Ripple, plans to launch a U.S. dollar stablecoin, entering the $150 billion market currently dominated by Tether and Circle. Backed 1-to-1 by assets like U.S. dollar deposits and government bonds, Ripple’s stablecoin aims to provide stability in the cryptocurrency market. CEO Brad Garlinghouse cites instability among competitors as a driving factor. Despite ongoing legal challenges from the SEC, Ripple remains optimistic about its stablecoin’s role in expanding the XRP ecosystem and its overall future. More info via CNBC here https://lnkd.in/dKwGaNTd

🔴 How will a Ripple stablecoin impact XRP?
❗ Jeremy Allaire, the CEO of stablecoin issuer Circle, has welcomed Ripple’s entrance into the market. He said it was “encouraging to see more companies taking a compliance-first approach to building on-chain dollars.”

👀 A Manhattan jury found Terraform Labs and its co-founder Do Kwon liable for civil fraud charges by the SEC regarding the $40 billion collapse of the Terra ecosystem in May 2022. They misled investors about the stability of Terra USD (UST) and the Terra blockchain’s use cases. The algorithm behind UST’s peg to the dollar was misrepresented, relying on continuous trading instead of self-healing capabilities as claimed. Kwon, currently in Montenegro facing criminal charges in the U.S. and South Korea, awaits extradition decisions amid ongoing legal battles.

🚨The U.S. Dollar Index vs Bitcoin (What caused the dump) ❗AUSD — Stablecoin by VanEck 🔵Tron 🆚 SEC 🎼Music 🆚 Ai

🔥 A strong dollar = Bad for Bitcoin
🔻 Bitcoin’s price dip today appears to have been set off by strong U.S. factory data that sent the U.S. dollar index above 105.00 for the first time in almost five months.

❗ Yesterday, the Institute for Supply Management (ISM) reported a rise in March’s Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) to 50.3%, up from February’s 47.8%.
❗ This uptick in U.S. factory data could strengthen U.S. exports, potentially boosting the dollar against other currencies. A stronger dollar may, in turn, hinder Bitcoin’s recent performance.

🚨 AGORA- AUSD
- Nick Van Eck, backed by his family’s investment firm, launches a stablecoin through startup Agora with $12 million in funding. Agora aims to offer stability in the volatile crypto market, focusing on users outside the US. Managed by VanEck, the stablecoin is backed by cash and US Treasury bills. The stablecoin, backed by cash, US Treasury bills, and overnight repurchase agreements, will be managed by VanEck. While focused on customers outside the US due to regulatory uncertainties, Agora seeks to establish transparency and trust in stablecoin reserveAgora seeks partnerships with exchanges and crypto companies, avoiding the issuance of governance tokens. Van Eck aims to drive industry progress and establish trust in stablecoin reserves. info via Bloomberg here https://lnkd.in/e3DGmXpT

Can the UAE government in partnership with a private firm launch a stablecoin?

🚨 The Tron Foundation has filed a motion to dismiss the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission lawsuit against it, arguing that the regulator’s attempt to apply US security laws to “predominantly foreign conduct” goes “too far.” The Tron Foundation claims that the tokens were sold “entirely overseas” and that steps were taken to avoid the US market. The foundation also argues that the SEC’s claim of unregistered US securities is “tenuous at best.” Tron Foundation said in a March 28 dismissal motion in a New York federal court here https://lnkd.in/eNjdPM2u

🔻Crypto Market “ Do you bleed” The Fear & Greed Index has changed from 90 Extreme Greed to 79 Greed in 24 hours as Billions are lost in crypto and the global crypto market looks RED. Check out Blockchain DXB podcast we share commentary on this & more

⚡Arkham Intelligence is stating, Tether.to the issuer of USDT, the world’s largest stablecoin based on market cap, added just shy of 8,888 bitcoin (BTC) in the first quarter. That wallet is now the holder of 75,354 bitcoins worth about $5.2 billion at BTC’s current price of $69,000, putting Tether’s profit at roughly $3 billion. Transactions tracked on the blockchain show 8,888 BTC were recently sent from the crypto exchange Bitfinex to an undisclosed Tether wallet. Details of the wallet can be seen here https://lnkd.in/dQqn5dD5

🔻 The trading volume on South Korea’s UpBit exchange has plummeted by 75% from its peak in March, signaling a significant slowdown in altcoin trading beyond major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The surge earlier was driven by factors like upgrades and political developments, but as volumes declined, questions arose about the sustainability of the altcoin rally. South Korean investors, particularly on Upbit, have shown a strong interest in altcoins despite high risks. This decline in volume suggests a shift away from the frenzied altcoin trading seen earlier, raising doubts about their continued valuation. CoinDesk https://lnkd.in/dcdiXNc3

🔻Solana’s decentralized exchanges (DEXs) saw a record-breaking trading volume of over $58.4 billion in March, driven by the meme coin frenzy. However, Solareum, a Telegram trading bot, shut down after a security exploit drained $523,000 worth of SOL from user wallets. Over 300 users were affected, initially suspected to be linked to BONKbot but later attributed to Solareum. Despite efforts to address the issue, users demand compensation, underscoring risks in crypto trading platforms.

💰 VC firm Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) is investing $30 million in technology-centric gaming startups through its early-stage accelerator program called SPEEDRUN. The investment will be spread over the next 45 days, with each selected startup receiving $750,000. The program is open to startups at various stages, from ideation to those with established products and revenue. Competition for admission is intense, with only 1% of applicants accepted in the last cohort. However, 80% of companies from the first cohort secured funding from investors after Demo Day.

🚨 IMF suggest stablecoins and CBDCs 🟢Vitalik Buterin’s Ethereum’s scaling roadmap ⚡Base sets DEX record ❗Sam Bankman-Fried update

🚨 The International Monetary Fund suggests that digital money like stablecoins and CBDCs could benefit Pacific Island countries (PICs) by improving financial inclusion and payment systems. They advocate for a two-tier CBDC model for PICs with existing currencies and mature banking systems, and foreign currency-based stablecoins for others, with robust regulation. While acknowledging the potential of private stablecoins like Tether (USDT), the IMF emphasizes the exploration of CBDCs by countries like Fiji, Palau, Solomon Islands, and Vanuatu. IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva believes CBDCs can coexist with private money as a safe and low-cost alternative to cash. Info here https://lnkd.in/dT9NvG5N

🟢 Vitalik Buterin in a blog post on Thursday, March 28 titled Ethereum has blobs. Where do we go from here? outlines the next steps in the network’s scaling journey. More info here https://lnkd.in/dP4xQrwc . Following the Dencun upgrade on Ethereum’s Layer 2 chains, Vitalik Buterin, Ethereum’s co-founder, addresses the emergence of “blobscriptions,” which are inscriptions on blobs affecting scalability and increasing fees. Buterin emphasizes the transition towards focusing on Layer 2 scaling solutions after the foundational work laid by the upgrade. He mentions data availability sampling (DAS) as a key improvement to alleviate node workload and enhance blob space efficiency. Buterin also suggests exploring data compression and Plasma techniques for Layer 2 enhancements. Despite challenges, Layer 2 fees remain lower than Ethereum mainnet fees, and the roadmap for Ethereum’s scaling continues with the focus on Layer 2 improvements.

🚨 Coinbase’s Ethereum layer-2 network, Base, has broken its 24-hour trading volume record on decentralized exchanges (DEX), soaring by approximately 25% compared to the previous day and exceeding $1 billion in trading volume. On March 30, Base saw a trading volume of $1.21 billion on DEX platforms, marking a significant increase from the previous day’s $959.63 million, as reported by Dune data. The majority of trading activity took place on Uniswap, which contributed 64.3% of the total volume, followed by Aerodrome Finance with 9.7%, and SharkSwap with 7.8%.

🔥SEC vs Ripple $2B fine 🚨Sanctions on the SEC 🚀 Coinbase Stock 🚀🚔Binance Executive “Jailbreaks” in Nigeria❗

🔥 The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) plans to seek $2 billion in penalties from Ripple, according to the company’s chief legal officer. The SEC has been engaged in a legal battle with Ripple since 2020, alleging that the company sold unregistered securities in the form of XRP. While Ripple scored a partial win last year, investors and Ripple Labs interpreted the ruling as a victory for the broader crypto industry. Stuart Alderoty mentioned via Twitter “As you will see when the SEC’s brief is made public tomorrow, they ask the Judge for $2B in fines and penalties” his tweet here https://tinyurl.com/mr7yw57z Check out Blockchain DXB’ Crypto & Coffee at 8 podcast we share our opinion on this & more

🚨A United States district court has imposed sanctions on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Commission (SEC) for acting in “bad faith” in its lawsuit against DEBT Box. The judge in the Debt Box case has issued an 80 page opinion sanctioning the SEC for egregious misconduct in the case.

❗ The SEC initially filed a motion to dismiss without prejudice, but that was denied by Judge Robert J Shelby, who slammed the regulator for intentionally lying to the court about evidence it obtained to secure a temporary restraining order (TRO) and freeze of Debt Box’s assets last August.

🟢 Ethereum ETF update 💰Genesis to Pay SEC $21M Penalty ⚫ BlackRock to Launch a Tokenized Asset Fund 🔵 ‘Giggle Academy’ by Changpeng Zhao

🎙️Check out Blockchain DXB Crypto & Coffee at 8, we share our commentary on the global crypto market

🔴 U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has delayed its decision on proposed spot Ether (ETH) exchange-traded funds (ETFs) by Hashdex and ARK 21Shares. This decision, announced on March 19, came just before the “third deadline,” with final decisions for both ETF applications expected by late May. Specifically, ARK 21Shares will face a final decision on May 24, while Hashdex’s application deadline is set for on or before May 30. Analysts are sceptical about the approval prospects for the eight currently proposed Ether ETFs, expressing concerns about the lack of engagement between the SEC and the issuers. These ETFs come from various entities including BlackRock, Grayscale, Fidelity Investments, Invesco US Galaxy, VanEck, Hashdex, and Franklin Templeton. Info via Cointelegraph here https://lnkd.in/dFE67egS
❗ Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas lowered the Ether ETF approval odds from 50% to 35%.

🔴 Genesis Agrees to Pay $21 Million Penalty to Settle SEC Charges
❗ Genesis Global Capital has agreed to pay a $21 million civil penalty to settle charges with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) over its involvement in the now-defunct Gemini Earn program. The settlement, formalized after a New York judge denied motions by Genesis and Gemini to stop the SEC case, follows bankruptcy filings by Genesis and its affiliates. The SEC will not receive any portion of the penalty until all other allowed claims are paid, as stated by the regulator. SEC Chair Gary Gensler emphasized the importance of enforcing securities laws in the crypto lending space through such settlements. Info here https://lnkd.in/dsj_cJvN

⚫ BlackRock has filed documents with the SEC to launch a tokenized asset fund, the BlackRock USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund. The fund’s size was not disclosed, but the minimum investment accepted is $100,000. Speculation suggests that the fund may be Ethereum-based, with stablecoin assets in the basket. Registered in the British Virgin Islands in 2023, the BlackRock USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund will act as a pooled investment fund. Official documents filed with Security Exchange Commission here https://lnkd.in/dDXURKap The news of the fund comes amid hopes that a spot Ethereum ETF may be approved

🚨 ‘Giggle Academy’ “the most impactful thing I could do for the next chapter of my life.” — Changpeng Zhao CZ mentioned via Twitter his next project is Giggle Academy — Free basic (grade 1–12 ish) education, for all. No revenue.Gamified. Adaptive.

🔴 USDT — Delisted on OKX (EU) 🔻Grayscale’s GBTC sheds $642M in 24hrs🔻#BTC Flash Crash to $8.9K on BitMEX 🐶 Aichi Sells for $4.3 Million

🔴 OKX, has delisted Tether.to’s USDT stablecoin for users in the European Union and the European Economic Area (EEA). This move aligns with upcoming EU regulations requiring stablecoin issuers to be licensed electronic money institutions. OKX cited regulatory compliance and security concerns for the decision but emphasized a focus on expanding euro-denominated liquidity. Despite the delisting, EEA-based users can still deposit, withdraw, and trade USDT through over-the-counter (OTC) channels. Tether.to has not commented on the situation yet.

🔻 Grayscale Investments’s spot Bitcoin ETF experienced its largest outflow since its conversion on January 11, with over $640 million worth of Bitcoin exiting the fund on March 18. Fidelity’s Bitcoin ETF also saw reduced inflows, leading to a net outflow of $154.3 million for spot Bitcoin ETFs. Despite the recent outflows, analysts remain optimistic about the future of Bitcoin ETF flows, citing potential increases in investor interest. While some attribute Bitcoin’s recent price decline to slowing ETF flows, others point to factors such as the upcoming halving event and the Federal Reserve’s FOMC meeting. However, commentators highlight the remaining Bitcoin holdings in GBTC as a reason for long-term bullishness regarding ETF flows. Info via Farside Investors https://lnkd.in/dPJh43Ty

😱 Bitcoin experienced a flash crash on BitMEX late Monday, dropping to as low as $8,900 due to large sell orders totaling $55.49 million. The crash was short-lived, lasting only a few minutes before rebounding to $67,000. BitMEX is investigating the cause of the sudden sell-off. Despite the crash on BitMEX, the global average price of Bitcoin remained relatively stable around $67,400. BitMEX is investigating unusual activity on its BTC-USDT Spot Market involving large sell orders. However, they assure users that their derivative markets and funds are unaffected, and the platform is operating normally. nfo via CoinDesk here https://lnkd.in/dEd5S_cR

The company intends to offer $500 million worth of convertible senior notes to institutional buyers, with the goal of purchasing additional cryptocurrency. MicroStrategy currently holds 205,000 Bitcoin, making it the largest corporate holder of the digital asset.

🟢South Africa’s financial conduct regulator, the FSCA, has granted operating licenses to 59 cryptocurrency businesses, as the country moves towards regulating the asset class. In 2022, the FSCA declared crypto assets as financial products, citing the need for regulation to safeguard customers and prevent illicit activities such as money laundering and terrorism financing. This regulation also empowers the central bank’s Financial Surveillance Department to mandate reporting of crypto asset transactions by South African trading platforms. Felicity Mabaso, an executive at the FSCA, announced these developments at a financial sector conference, revealing that 355 license applications were received, with 262 still under review.

Coinbase has filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, accusing it of arbitrary behaviour in denying the company’s petition for crypto rules. The lawsuit seeks clarification on the SEC’s oversight of the industry and its refusal to provide specific regulations. While not directly linked to Coinbase’s ongoing legal battle with the SEC over alleged unregistered securities trading, both cases highlight the SEC’s reluctance to define crypto securities. Coinbase is urging the court to compel the SEC to start new rulemaking or provide a clear explanation. The SEC’s track record in crypto-related cases has been mixed, with wins and losses in court battles.

🟢 Ethereum Hardfork for quantum attack 🚨Grayscale, Coinbase + SEC discuss SPOT Ether ETF ❌ Binance to cease all Nigerian naira 💡 Massachusetts Institute of Technology + Harvard University Accelerator

🟢 Vitalik Buterin has published a post on “How to hard-fork to save most users’ funds in a quantum emergency”. He discusses what would happen if a “quantum emergency” happened as early as tomorrow. His post on Ethereum Research is here https://lnkd.in/dcTSS3By The blockchain would have to hard fork and users would have to download new wallet software, but few users would lose their funds. While the solution seems simple, check out Blockchain DXB Crypto & Coffee on the podcast, we explain it in detail and share our opinion on the potential crucial problems or errors that need consideration.

🚨 Grayscale and Coinbase recently met with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission officials to discuss a rule change for the launch of spot Ether exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Five Key Points from the meeting are via the SEC official website here https://lnkd.in/dVBQq-89

  • The Shares are properly categorized as commodity-based trust shares
  • The Commission’s rationale in deciding to approve spot Bitcoin ETPs applies with equal or greater force for ETH
  • Ethereum has mechanisms that significantly limit ETH’s susceptibility to fraud and manipulation
  • Spot markets for ETH are highly indicative of a market resilient to fraud and manipulation
  • As with Bitcoin, the Exchange’s comprehensive surveillance-sharing agreement with the CME will assist in surveilling for fraud and manipulation

❌ Binance discontinues NGN services in Nigeria due to regulatory issues, with NGN withdrawals ending after March 8 and balances converted to USDT. Regulatory scrutiny, including suspicions of illicit transactions, prompts action, with passports of Binance executives confiscated. Calls for bans on crypto platforms escalate despite Nigeria’s previous crypto growth, with the central bank already banning financial institutions from servicing exchanges two years ago.

    Binance.US, is facing scrutiny from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) over its handling of customer assets and other critical aspects of an ongoing investigation. The SEC claims that Binance.US, operated by BAM Trading Services, has failed to provide adequate responses to requests for information regarding customer asset custody. In a joint status report filed on March 5, the SEC requested court intervention to expedite the discovery process.

🔴 Coinbase Glitch
❗ Coinbase experienced another glitch during volatile Bitcoin price action, sparking criticism from the crypto community. This follows a similar incident less than a week ago where users saw $0 balances. Despite assurances that funds were safe and trading unaffected, concerns arose as some users again reported zero balances. Developers swiftly worked on a fix, but criticism on Twitter highlighted frustration with Coinbase’s recurring technical issues.

🚀Stablecoin /Tether.to USDT🚀Spot Bitcoin ETF new record 💡 U.S. Gov Transfers Nearly $1B of Hacked BTC ❌GameStop memecoin? Shiba IBU privacy tech

🚨Trading volumes for the ten new U.S. Bitcoin ETFs have surged to a new record, more than doubling their previous high set just days ago.

🚀 According to data shared by Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart, CFA, CAIA on Twitter ( X ) here https://lnkd.in/d2MbXE7Q, the ten ETFs collectively amassed a staggering $7.69 billion in trading volume on Feb. 28. This marks a significant increase from the previous record of $4.66 billion in volume observed on the funds’ launch day on Jan. 11.

🚀 BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) notably dominated the trading activity, accounting for 43.5% of the total volume. IBIT saw $3.35 billion in trading volume, doubling its previous daily record.

🏦 U.S. Government Crypto Wallets Transfer Nearly $1B of Bitcoin Seized From Bitfinex Hacker info via CoinDesk here https://lnkd.in/dCU67Ejy
U.S. government crypto wallets, containing bitcoin seized from the Bitfinex hack, have become active. Nearly $1 billion worth of bitcoin has been transferred from these wallets to unidentified addresses in four transactions within two hours. The motive behind these transactions is unclear, and the U.S. government has not provided immediate comment. The bitcoin movement coincided with a volatile day of trading in the cryptocurrency, with its price reaching $60,000 for the first time since November 2021, then climbing above $64,000 before abruptly dropping to just above $59,000. As of the time of reporting, the bitcoin price was fluctuating just above $60,000, with its all-time high being around $69,000 set in late 2021.

❌ GameStop Memes (GMS), a project inspired by the success of Wall Street Memes (WSM) token, reportedly raised $4 million from investors, according to a post on its official X account on Feb. 14. However, some investors have raised concerns, alleging that the project operates as a never-ending presale, collecting investors’ crypto without providing promised tokens in return.

  • GameStop Memes is not affiliated with the official GameStop brand. Attempts to reach GameStop for comment were unsuccessful. Furthermore, the project falsely claims a partnership with Cointelegraph on its website. Info here https://lnkd.in/dtgZyJCZ

💡 The Shiba Inu ecosystem is set to introduce a new privacy layer powered by the TREAT token, enhancing privacy for SHIB token holders. Collaborating with cryptography firm Zama, developers aim to create a privacy-focused network atop the Shibarium blockchain. This initiative aims to bolster the value proposition of SHIB tokens by providing improved privacy features. More info via CoinDesk here https://lnkd.in/d8CBzs9f

🚨Republican Lawmakers Plan to Ban CBDC in the U.S. 🟠Strike Rolls Out Services to Africa 🟢 OKX Launches in Turkey

🔴 🟠 Senators Ted Cruz, Bill Hagerty, Rick Scott, Ted Budd and Mike Braun filed a bill titled “The CBDC Anti-Surveillance State Act.”

👏🏼 Republican lawmakers, led by Senator Ted Cruz , introduced “The CBDC Anti-Surveillance State Act” to block the implementation of a central bank digital currency (CBDC) in the U.S. They fear CBDCs could infringe on personal privacy. Despite being a campaign issue, President Biden’s administration has not taken a stance. The Federal Reserve is in the initial research stages, with Vice Chairman Michael Bar noting that any progress would need approval from The White House and Congress. Former President Trump vowed to ban CBDC creation, highlighting partisan division. Bill here https://lnkd.in/dPSgp-nY

Updated info here https://lnkd.in/d8N4CQPY

❌ A counterfeit digital yuan application has been exposed, as stated in a WeChat post attributed to the Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. The malicious download closely mimics the official version but exhibits subtle disparities.
In addition to promising financial gains, the counterfeit app is capable of
gathering sensitive user data and offers bogus customer support, directing
users to unfamiliar social platforms to facilitate the unlawful seizure of
their funds, the ministry disclosed. Info here https://lnkd.in/d_w4hcQ8

💡 BitForex, a cryptocurrency exchange, has gone offline following the withdrawal of $57 million from its hot wallets on Feb. 23. Withdrawals have ceased, and the BitForex team is unresponsive to user requests. The website displays a message stating that users have been blocked.

🚀 DeFi TVL $83.37B 🚀 Uniswap Jumps 60% ❌Avalanche suffered outage 🚨 Reddit, Inc. IPO unveils Crypto holdings 🔴 President Donald Trump’s Crypto Portfolio

📊 DeFi TVL $83.37B but the 24-hour volume is extremely low. Over the last 130 days, the value locked in defi has expanded by more than $42 billion. While all other metrics for Defi are the same, the only reason why TVL 🚀 is in anticipation of Spot Ethereum Approval. Check out Blockchain DXB’s Crypto & Coffee at 8 podcast. We give our commentary on this

🚨 Uniswap Labs: UNI, the governance token of Uniswap, surged by 60% following a proposal for a major overhaul in decision-making protocols. The upgrade suggests distributing protocol fees among UNI holders who stake and delegate tokens, aiming to strengthen and revitalize Uniswap’s governance. This proposal also intends to reward UNI token holders who actively participate in staking and delegation activities, enhancing overall governance effectiveness. Info via CoinDesk https://lnkd.in/dTVnjcWZ

❗ Avalanche
- On Friday, Avalanche, a layer-1 blockchain, experienced a significant outage lasting over four hours due to a software bug. The interruption occurred because excessive communication, termed “gossip,” among validator nodes overloaded the network. Developers promptly released a software patch that disabled this problematic logic, allowing the network to resume block finalization four hours later. This incident mirrors a recent outage on the Solana blockchain and underscores the challenges faced by blockchain networks in maintaining uninterrupted operations. Avalanche, resumed block finalization four hours after a software bug caused a network outage on Friday. You can see updated info here https://lnkd.in/d3tz8W5x

🔥 Reddit, Inc. has disclosed in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission here https://lnkd.in/dAvkD9qN that it has added Bitcoin and Ethereum to its balance sheet as part of its preparations to go public.

However, the filing did not disclose the specific amount of cryptocurrency investments made by Reddit. More info via Decrypt here https://lnkd.in/dQBNqTwr

🔴 Former President Trump’s cryptocurrency holdings, including TRUMP tokens gifted by developers, have surged in value to around $5.38 million. His TRUMP tokens alone are worth nearly $3 million, with a 44,309% increase since 2023. Trump’s interest in NFTs and crypto ventures is growing, but it’s uncertain if he’ll sell his TRUMP tokens due to legal concerns regarding his name’s use in crypto projects..

🔥 $USDC Is Quitting TRON 🟢 MetaMask boosts Security ❌Binance Potential Ban In Philippines & Backlash from Nigerian Investors ❌

🔥 Circle is discontinuing support for USDC on the TRON blockchain in a phased transition. Effective immediately we will no longer mint USDC on TRON. Circle will support Circle Mint customers’ transfer(s) of USDC to other blockchains through February 2025. As Circle only serves business and institutional customers, retail users and other non-Circle customers can move their USDC on TRON to an exchange or distributor where it can be transferred to another blockchain where USDC is supported. Info here https://lnkd.in/dmyH3TVf Who made this decision though — A Centralised team or the community?

🔥 Circle consistently evaluates the compatibility of all blockchains hosting USDC. The choice to cease USDC support on TRON reflects a comprehensive approach undertaken across our business organization, compliance, and other operational sectors. This decision is in line with Circles commitment to maintaining USDC’s reputation as a trusted, transparent, and secure regulated digital dollar, solidifying its position as the premier option on the internet.

🟢 MetaMask is expanding its default security alerts to encompass users on web extensions and mobile apps across various blockchains, including Ethereum, Linea, BNB Smart Chain, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, and Avalanche. This move follows a period of significant user growth, with monthly active users increasing from 19 million in September 2023 to 30 million in January 2024, partly fueled by partnerships with platforms like Robinhood. The security alerts were initially introduced on the Ethereum mainnet via an extension on Jan. 29, 2024, providing users with warnings during transactions to identify and caution against potential threats, thus aiming to enhance overall security for its expanding user base.

🔴 Binance set a limit on how much Naira traders can exchange for USDT, upsetting many local investors. This move stops traders from making transactions above a certain rate.

🟢 Ethereum 🚀 Turkey’s 1st Phase of CBDC 🚨 Hong Kong regulators on Tokenization ❌ Binance shuts down multiple leveraged token services❗

🟢 Ethereum ( First World Computer)

ETH touches $3K & is outpacing other cryptocurrencies, according to data from CoinMarketCap Spot Ethreum Approval from the US Security and Exchange Commission could enhance Ethereum’s attractiveness to conservative institutional investors.

❗ Digital Turkish lira — First Phase

  • The Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey (CBRT) recently unveiled an English translation of its report evaluating the initial stage of its Central Bank Digital Turkish Lira Research and Development (R&D) Project, aimed at crafting a central bank digital currency (CBDC). Originally published in Turkish last year, the translated report was released on Feb. 19.

The digital Turkish lira was designed as an intermediated retail CBDC. Full report here http://tinyurl.com/mk2wf7ff

❗ This inaugural phase of the project focused on several key components, including the digital identity system, digital currency system, abstraction layer, service layer, and wallet. Notably, the abstraction layer was designed to facilitate system modularity. Commencing in 2021, the first phase of the project saw the CBRT conducting its initial trial transactions with the digital Turkish lira in 2022.

🔥 The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) issued letters to authorized institutions regarding tokenization and custody of digital assets.

In one letter, the HKMA outlined standards for custody of customer assets, aligning with international practices, applicable regardless of whether AIs offer standalone services or engage in other activities.

♦️ The second letter addressed the sale and distribution of tokenized products not regulated under the Securities and Futures Ordinance, emphasizing compliance outside the Securities and Futures Commission’s requirements.

♦️ Overall, the letters aim to provide guidance on managing digital asset custody and tokenized product offerings within Hong Kong’s regulatory framework.

♦️ The HKMA is supportive of AIs’ initiatives on tokenisation and is encouraged by the progress the industry has made so far.

🚨SEC 🆚 Ripple deadline today❗ Trust Wallet + Biconomy ❌Torando cash supporters GoFundMe halted 🔥 Forbes Permanent in The Sandbox Metaverse

🚨 U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission vs Ripple

❗ The February 20th deadline marks a crucial moment in a significant legal dispute concerning Ripple, a cryptocurrency. In July 2023, Ripple achieved a significant victory in the lawsuit; however, the court ruled that certain sales of XRP to institutions should have been registered with the SEC as investment contracts.

🔥 On February 5th, Judge Netburn granted the SEC’s motion to compel Ripple to provide certain documents. Ripple agreed to disclose financial statements and respond to the SEC’s inquiries by February 12th but requested an extension until February 20th to produce contracts for the sale of XRP to institutional buyers, hedge funds, and ODL customers from a three-year period before. Ripple cited the challenges in collecting and producing these documents by the previous deadline. This dispute’s resolution and the court’s ruling on regulatory measures could set a precedent for future cases involving digital assets beyond Ripple.

🚨 Trust Wallet- SWIFT

  • Trust Wallet and Biconomy have collaborated to launch SWIFT, a smart-contract wallet. SWIFT aims to improve Web3 accessibility for 80 million users by simplifying setup, enhancing security with biometric Passkeys, and offering one-click transactions. It supports over 200 tokens and leverages Biconomy’s Paymaster and Bundler infrastructure for efficiency. Info here http://tinyurl.com/4ktzz7wn

However, the crowdfunding campaign on GoFundMe, aimed at supporting the co-founders’ legal defence, has been abruptly shut down. Info here http://tinyurl.com/5n97jkp3

🚀Worldcoin to the 🚀 Coinbase removes #Bitcoin payments❗ Uniswap to Launch V4 🏦New Zealand Central Bank — Grim Warning on Stablecoins

🚀 World App, the first wallet built for the Worldcoin project, passed 1M daily users last week this has positively impacted the price of WLD which is up by 166% since the last 7 days

❗ WLD is the native token of Worldcoin, an iris-scanning blockchain solution Altman touts as the future’s largest financial network and decentralized identification ledger. The protocol launched in July 2023 received pushback in some jurisdictions, primarily due to privacy concerns. Check out Blockchain DXB’s Crypto & Coffee at 8 we share our commentary on this, we also give a full in-depth on — What Is Worldcoin (WLD)? -Who Are the Founders of Worldcoin? -What Makes Worldcoin Unique? -Total supply of Worldcoin — How Is the Worldcoin Protocol Secured?

🔴Lauren Dowling, product lead for Coinbase Commerce mentioned via Twitter the company “made the difficult decision to remove native Bitcoin & other UTXO support” from Coinbase Commerce, citing difficulties in delivering recent updates on its EVM payment protocol for Bitcoin. Series of tweets here https://lnkd.in/dCmUxwnz

🚨 Lightning Network Lightning is years away from mainstream adoption, she also stated they are evaluating support for other payment rails like the Lightning Network and Solana and welcome any feedback.

🚨 Uniswap V4 The Uniswap Foundation has announced that the launch of Uniswap’s version 4 protocol is tentatively scheduled for the third quarter of this year. The release of V4 will bring a more modular structure to Uniswap, incorporating features such as hooks for customization and a “flash accounting” system for lower fees. The timeline for the launch depends on the implementation of Ethereum’s upcoming Dencun hard fork in March. ❗The roadmap below reflects a comprehensive plan Phase 1: Code Freeze (in progress) Phase 2: Auditing and Testnet Phase 3: Launch Push Info via Twitter/X here https://lnkd.in/diYzYyEi

🏦 On February 12, New Zealand’s central bank governor, Adrian Orr, slammed stablecoins, noting that they cannot replace traditional money. He said “Stablecoins are ‘the biggest misnomers’ and ‘oxymorons,’” Orr stated. “Stablecoins are not stable. They’re only as good as the balance sheet of the person offering that stablecoin. Mostly in that what is advertised on the tin is not what is in the tin for these purported alternatives to central bank cash.” We at Blockchain DXB 100% agree to this. He explained that BTC could be used for any other purpose but as a compliment to central bank money. The governor spoke at a parliamentary committee. Info via Bloomberg https://lnkd.in/djrNu-4i

🔥CPI Number: Inflation rises to 3.1% ❗ MicroStrategy rebranding 🟢 Franklin Templeton: Ethereum ETF 🔴Trump’s MAGA Coin 🚀

🔵 The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Over the last 12 months, the all-items index increased by 3.1 per cent before seasonal adjustment. Official information here http://tinyurl.com/2s6ker6t

💥 How will Bitcoin & and Crypto market react to the news?

  • Inflation🔺 = Bitcoin🔻

💥 Based on CPI numbers Federal Reserve Board chair Jerome Powell will be deciding to announce the interest rate hike

  • Inflation 🔺 = Interest rate 🔺

🎙️Check out Blockchain DXB’s Crypto & Coffee at 8 we share our commentary on this. We also go ahead and explain how Inflation is calculated.

❗ Michael Saylor, co-founder and executive chairman of MicroStrategy (MSTR), plans to rebrand the company to reflect its focus on accumulating Bitcoin and supporting its network growth. Saylor highlighted the surge in demand for Bitcoin products, particularly driven by ETF-related demand. He strongly feels that the demand for Bitcoin Products Is 10x the Supply. He highlighted the ETF-driven demand surge for Bitcoin, citing its novelty, digital nature, and global appeal. His interview with CNBC is here http://tinyurl.com/mt8vej8d

💯 However, we at Blockchain DXB believe Saylor’s claim of demand being 10 times the supply aims to artificially boost Bitcoin demand, potentially increasing Saylor’s & Microstrategy’s wealth given their significant holdings. Also, Saylor has a history of providing misleading, incorrect & #fakenews about Bitcoin’s technical aspects.

🟢 Ethereum Network New Validators 🚀 Philippines ✅ Wholesale CBDC ❌ Retail CBDC Crypto.com’s Formula 1, + UFC partnership paying off

🔥 Crypto Fear & Greed Index = GREEN but will CPI numbers that will be released later in the day impact the price of #BTC & #crypto? Check out Blockchain DXB’s Crypto & Coffee at 8 to get our commentary on it

🟢 The Ethereum network is experiencing a surge in the number of validators looking to stake their ether (ETH), with over 7,000 validators currently in the entry queue. This backlog is expected to be cleared in just over 48 hours, representing over 225,000 ether ($562 million). Despite the increase in staking activity, the annualized percentage yield on staked ether remains unchanged.
- The waitlist for new Ethereum validators is now the longest since early October.
- The renewed interest in staking is noteworthy as the yield on staked ether remains below 4%.https://lnkd.in/dRQ-WgAe
- Ethereum limits the number of new validators that can join the network per epoch or the time it takes to process blocks on the blockchain. This results in a backlog. An Ethereum epoch is 6.4 minutes long.
More info on this via CoinDesk here https://lnkd.in/dcMPjr8w

❓ Why is there a surge in the number of validators?
- Spot Ethereum ETF on 23rd May 2024?

🟠 The Philippines’ central bank is not considering a retail version of a digital currency due to concerns about potential bank runs. However, it is likely to issue a wholesale central bank digital currency (CBDC) within two years, according to Governor Eli Remolona Jr. The CBDC will not be based on blockchain or digital ledger technology, as other central banks’ experiences with blockchain have not been successful, Remolona stated. More info via INQUIRER.net here https://lnkd.in/dmB2BhrZ In a recent chat with business editors, Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) Governor Eli Remolona Jr. said the decision was to develop wholesale rather than retail CBDC for the local market. Blockchain or distributed ledger technology won’t be used,

🚨 Crypto.com’s partnerships with Formula 1 (F1) and the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) have boosted its growth in the cryptocurrency market. President Eric Anziani highlighted these deals, underscoring their role in enhancing global brand recognition. Market surveys by ESPN show strong awareness among retail cryptocurrency users. F1 races averaged 1.11 million viewers per race in the US in 2023, with over one billion global viewers in 2022. Even UFC events have sold millions of PPVs. Overall, these partnerships have expanded Crypto.com’s reach and solidified its position in the industry. Info via CoinDesk https://lnkd.in/dcMPjr8w

🚨 NY Attorney General Letitia James has expanded a fraud lawsuit against Digital Currency Group (DCG) and Gemini, alleging that they are responsible for $3 billion in investor losses. The initial lawsuit, which claimed that DCG cheated people out of $1 billion, has grown as more investors have come forward with losses related to the defunct Gemini Earn program. She asserts that the companies misled investors by falsely assuring them that their money was safe. She also stated the company is responsible for $3 billion in investor losses tied to the Gemini Earn product and to direct investments with Genesis, according to a new court filing here https://lnkd.in/dKipGY-9

💡 As many as 230,000 individuals suffered losses totalling up to $3 billion, as revealed by the attorney general’s investigation. Check out Blockchain DXB Crypto & Coffee at 8 podcasts we share our commentary on this. Also see slides 1 & 2 for a global snapshot of the crypto market.

🟢 #Ethereum Dencun upgrade 💥 Bakkt may not continue 💡MicroStrategy buys more #BTC 🔥OKX is allegedly facing a probe in SK

🟢 Ethereum recently conducted its final practice run for a major upgrade called Dencun. This upgrade introduces a technical feature called “proto-danksharding,” which aims to make transactions cheaper and data storage more efficient. In simple terms, it creates a new way to store data called “blobs.” The successful test on the Holesky network means that Dencun is nearing its launch on the main Ethereum network in the coming weeks. This upgrade is significant because it’s the biggest change to Ethereum in almost a year.

🚨 Check out Blockchain DXB podcast we try to explain it in simpler terms. We also give our commentary on the global crypto market. Also worth checking The Coin Bureau has an excellent video explaining what the upgrade would mean, check it via YouTube here http://tinyurl.com/2p98x7w

🔥 Bakkt, a cryptocurrency platform launched in 2018 with the backing of the owner of the New York Stock Exchange, has raised concerns about its ability to stay in business. In a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Bakkt expressed uncertainty about its financial future, stating that it may not have enough cash to sustain its operations for the next year. This warning suggests that Bakkt is facing financial challenges that could jeopardize its continued existence. Official filing here https://lnkd.in/dN_pmtfG

💥 MicroStrategy recently added to its Bitcoin holdings by purchasing an additional 850 BTC in January, bringing its total holdings to 190,000 BTC.

💥 OKX Caught in South Korean Crypto Crackdown: Probe Underway?
- OKX, a cryptocurrency exchange, is under scrutiny by South Korean regulators for allegedly promoting its platform to Korean investors without proper registration. The exchange used social media influencers to promote its services, despite not offering explicit domestic services in South Korea. The Financial Intelligence Unit is investigating potential regulatory breaches. This crackdown is part of South Korea’s efforts to regulate the crypto industry, following recent market manipulations involving other companies.

🔥#ETH Spot ETF From delayed by SEC 🚨US Treasury Secretary stablecoins pose a risk ❗ Ripple 🆚 SEC update, Hyperverse founder — $1.7B fraud charge

🔴 The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has postponed its decision on approving or denying spot Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) from Invesco US and Galaxy Digital Official info here http://tinyurl.com/4yhytyvf

💯 James Seyffart, CFA, CAIA mentioned via Twitter (Now X) The only date that matters for spot #ethereum ETFs at this time is May 23rd. His tweet/x here http://tinyurl.com/49u79ena

🔥 Janet Yellen, the U.S. Department of the Treasury Secretary, believes that stablecoins should be regulated by a federal authority instead of leaving it up to individual states. She’s concerned that stablecoins could cause problems for the US financial system. There isn’t a single federal agency overseeing these digital currencies, which she thinks is risky. Yellen suggests giving a federal regulator the power to decide whether or not a company should be allowed to issue stablecoins. We at Blockchain DXB 100% as stablecoin issues do not follow the principles of Open Blockchain and stable coin issues are replacing the role of a bank and act a central entity. Check out our Crypto & Coffee at 8 podcasts we share our in-depth commentary on this

❗ She also pointed to the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission, saying it had no “supervisory regulatory authority” over spot market commodities related to Bitcoin. Full info via YouTube here http://tinyurl.com/c2xdwp72

💥 Ripple 🆚 Security Exchange Commission

A federal judge has ordered Ripple to provide financial documents to the SEC, including statements from 2022 to 2023 and contracts related to institutional sales. This is to determine if XRP should be considered a security. Ripple has until February 12th to comply.

  • The SEC aims to use these documents to counter Ripple’s claims that its actions have been in compliance with the court’s initial filing.

  • The SEC strongly believes that these documents are crucial for determining whether XRP should be classified as a security.

🚨 Hyperverse Founder Charged With Fraud, Was Promoting a New Crypto Project Hours Later

-Sam Lee, the founder of the HyperVerse crypto pyramid scheme accused of misappropriating $1.7 billion, is promoting a new crypto project called VEND just hours after being charged by the SEC. VEND is a livestream platform where participants can promote their crypto projects to potential investors, with viewers earning rewards for watching and subscribing. The projects on VEND often rely on Tether (USDT) and promise high returns, but there are concerns about the lack of transparency and named advertisers. More info here http://tinyurl.com/kbjr3cfz

The Solana network experienced a major outage on Feb. 6, 10:22 UTC and engineers from across the ecosystem are investigating an outage on mainnet-beta.

🔥 Craig Wright is Accused of ‘Industrial Scale’ Forgeries on First Day of COPA Trial in the U.K. COPA, challenging Wright’s claim to be Bitcoin’s creator Satoshi Nakamoto, accuses him of forging documents on an “industrial scale.” Wright’s counsel argues COPA can’t provide direct evidence against his claim. The trial involves heated exchanges, and the presiding judge has allowed new evidence from Wright, pending review and cross-examination by COPA. COPA hopes for an injunction to prevent future legal challenges from Wright.

❗ COPA is backed by Twitter founder Jack Dorsey and several high-profile industry players such as Coinbase and MicroStrategy,

Lord Anthony Grabiner said :“COPA has been unable to point to any direct evidence that Dr. Wright is not Satoshi,” He also claimed that no one else has come forward as Satoshi, which, he argued, suggests Wright is a likely candidate. Info via CoinDesk here http://tinyurl.com/mmxkhrn8

🔥 US Gov closure of #BTC mining? ❗Thai SEC orders Zipmex to suspend 😱 Binance Sensitive info leaked via GitHub 🚔SEC Charges Bitcoin Academy’s founder

🔥 The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is examining the energy usage of bitcoin mining through its agency, the Energy Information Administration (EIA). Over the next six months, the EIA will collect data on electricity consumption from selected U.S.-based bitcoin miners following an “emergency” request. Concerns arise that this information could influence potentially adverse policies given the current administration’s critical stance on cryptocurrencies. The EIA claims to be policy-neutral and states that the collected data will inform decisions over the next six months without taking a specific stance. More info via CoinDesk here http://tinyurl.com/bafy5haa

🚨 The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) of Thailand has issued a directive instructing the temporary suspension of digital asset trading and brokerage services by the cryptocurrency exchange Zipmex. In an announcement on February 2, the SEC specified that Zipmex has a 15-day window to rectify its financial position and address operational deficiencies in accordance with prior orders from the regulatory body. Once the specified requirements are met, the crypto exchange will be permitted to resume its regular operations, ensuring that users can withdraw their funds during this period. Info here http://tinyurl.com/y63su4zh

💥 A repository on GitHub containing sensitive information related to Binance, such as code, passwords, and infrastructure diagrams, was discovered to be publicly accessible for several months. Following a takedown request, Binance successfully had the data removed. The company stated that the exposed information presented minimal risk to user security, asset safety, or platform integrity. Despite no evidence of malicious access or use, the data’s value could potentially attract hackers interested in targeting Binance’s systems. Info via 404 Media http://tinyurl.com/yhy58avb

On January 24, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) extended the deadline for deciding on BlackRock’s proposed Ethereum exchange-traded fund (ETF), citing the need for additional review time. The final decision on BlackRock’s ETF, with a deadline of August 7, is anticipated by Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas to align with a collective decision on all pending Ethereum ETFs in May. The SEC also delayed its decision on Grayscale Investments’ spot Ethereum ETF, inviting public comments and initiating proceedings to evaluate NYSE Arca’s proposal to list and trade Grayscale Ethereum Trust shares. This move extends the decision deadline by an additional 35 days upon publication in the Federal Register. More info via James Seyffart, CFA, CAIA here https://lnkd.in/dHeRkGqY

💥OpenSea open to Acquisition ❗BlackRock’s IBIT $2B in AUM 🟠OKX Halts Mining Pool Services 🔥 US Gov to dump #btc?

🏦 OpenSea is having a hard time justifying its one-time $13.3 billion valuation. Devin Finzer, OpenSea’s CEO and co-founder, told DL News this week that the company is keeping an open mind towards deals. That may include being acquired itself. Info here http://tinyurl.com/6fu5fxmd

  • CEO Devin Finzer said OpenSea has received acquisition interest but did — not specify when and by whom.

  • NFT player is struggling to find its footing after a rough couple of years.

  • He said Blur has ‘cut corners’ on its way to market dominance.

🏦 At its peak, OpenSea accounted for about 90% of the NFT sector’s market share. Now, its monthly trading volume has dwindled to $171 million, a 96% plunge from January 2022, according to data from Dune Analytics.

🔴 BlackRock Rich getting richer

❗ The BlackRock iShares Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) has become the first among recently launched spot bitcoin products to surpass $2 billion in assets under management (AUM). This milestone was achieved on Friday. Notably, Grayscale Investments’s GBTC, which was a closed-end fund before converting to a spot ETF, had almost $30 billion in AUM. On Thursday, investors added around $170 million to IBIT, enabling the fund to acquire nearly 4,300 bitcoin (BTC). This increased the total tokens held by the fund to 49,952. As the price of bitcoin exceeded $40,000 on Friday, the AUM for IBIT rose above $2 billion. More info via CoinDesk here http://tinyurl.com/w3tnsbk7

💡 As of January 26, 2024, OKX has ceased its crypto mining pool and associated services. New user registrations are no longer accepted. Existing users will maintain access to these services until February 25, 2024, providing them with a transition period to make necessary adjustments to their mining operations. Afterwards, the platform will discontinue all mining-related services. This signals the end of an era for many users who have relied on OKX for crypto-mining activities. Info via Finance Magnates here http://tinyurl.com/mrzudrun

🚨 UK’s Digital Pound Legislation (CBDC) 🔻 OKB Token’s 50% Drop🔻 Tesla’s #BTC HODL ❗Worldcoin Orb device makeover

🏦 The UK government has announced its commitment to safeguarding privacy and maintaining control over financial transactions in upcoming legislation related to the development of a digital pound. The response was provided as part of the consultation conducted by the government’s finance ministry and the Bank of England on a central bank digital currency (CBDC). The consultation, which concluded in June and received over 50,000 responses, highlighted privacy and financial control as key concerns among participants. Detailed info here https://lnkd.in/dFbsRJNY Check out Blockchain DXB’s Crypto & Coffee at 8 podcasts we share our commentary on this

💥 OKB, the native token of the crypto exchange OKX, saw a sudden and drastic drop in value on Tuesday. The token plunged by more than 50% to a low of $25 in just three minutes before stabilizing. Executives from the exchange said they were investigating the root cause behind the abnormal price fluctuation, later issuing an update on X suggesting that the volatility was triggered by liquidations that were set off when the price moved lower after a general decline in the market. Info via Samyuktha Sriram on unchainedcrypto Official tweet https://lnkd.in/dAwhwzjU

🚨 The good news is The platform will fully compensate users for additional losses caused by abnormal liquidation, including pledge lending/margin trading/cross-currency transactions.

According to a tweet by Bloomberg’s Senior Litigation Analyst, Elliot Z.

🔥SEC vs Ripple ❌CBDC as money rejected by US Senators (Republicans) 🚨 Thai SEC Rejects Bitcoin ETF 💡Europe guidance to Crypto.

🔥 In a filing made on January 11, here https://lnkd.in/dBfXSVbM the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Exchange Commission (SEC) has escalated its legal efforts against Ripple Labs, Inc., aiming to enforce the production of essential financial documents. This development is a continuation of the ongoing legal dispute that began in December 2020, where the SEC asserted that Ripple’s XRP sales amounted to unregistered securities offerings. The regulatory body is specifically requesting financial statements for the years 2022 and 2023 as part of its pursuit in the legal case against Ripple.

❗ The SEC contends that these documents and the ‘interrogatory’ are crucial for Judge Torres to make informed decisions on potential relief, including injunctions and civil penalties. The regulatory body asserts that the financial information requested is fundamental for tailoring a penalty that would effectively deter future violations.

💰 CBDC as money?
❗ Several bills in the US Senate are challenging the classification of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) as ‘money.’ These legislative proposals have the potential to pose substantial obstacles to the development and implementation of a CBDC in the United States. Cointelegraph article confirms Bills against referring to central bank digital currency (CBDC) as money have been filed in the states of Utah, South Carolina, South Dakota and Tennessee. The bills would exclude a CBDC from the definition of money and could create significant roadblocks to a CBDC in the United States. https://lnkd.in/dFZwjbKN. State Senator frank niceley introduced a bill to the Tennessee Senate on Jan. 12. https://lnkd.in/dgiBguPC

🚨 Republican Senators — Not in favor of CBDC as money

💡 Securities and Exchange Commission, Thailand has rejected Bitcoin ETFs, but brokerages in Thailand are promoting overseas investments in these products. The Thai SEC states that Bitcoin ETFs, approved in foreign markets, are in the early stages and may lack direct economic value for the Thai market’s appropriateness. News via Finance Magnates here https://lnkd.in/dAEfNsA2

🚨 The European Banking Authority (EBA) extended its Guidelines on money laundering (ML) and terrorist financing (TF) risk factors to crypto-asset service providers (CASPs). The new Guidelines highlight ML/TF risk factors and mitigating measures that CASPs need to consider, representing an important step forward in the EU’s fight against financial crime.

🚨BlackRock backs Ether ETF? 🔻GameStop shut downs NFT marketplace❗ India blocks Binance, OKX 🔥CoinShares acquires Valkyrie Funds

🔥 BlackRock CEO Larry Fink supports the idea of an Ethereum (ETH) exchange-traded fund (ETF) shortly after the Bitcoin (BTC) ETF launch. In a CNBC interview, (the woke master plan) Larry Fink sees value in an Ethereum ETF as a key step toward wider tokenization trends in finance. His endorsement reflects confidence in the ongoing shift towards digital assets and blockchain technology. Fink’s remarks highlight the growing significance of cryptocurrencies in traditional financial markets. Interview via YouTube here http://tinyurl.com/4m3w8nkk

  • Bitcoin ETF approvals are ‘stepping stones’ towards tokenization

  • It is an asset that protects human

  • ETF is step one, Tokenization is next

🔥 GameStop, the gaming retailer, has issued a warning to its users about the upcoming discontinuation of its non-fungible token (NFT) marketplace next month, citing regulatory uncertainty. In a statement posted on the GameStop website, users were informed that they have slightly over two weeks left to utilize the NFT platform. Despite the decision to reduce its involvement with crypto, GameStop assured NFT holders that this move will not have any adverse effects on their NFTs. Official pop-up message via https://nft.gamestop.com/

“Effective as of February 2, 2024, customers will no longer be able to buy, sell or create NFTs. Your NFTs are on the blockchain and will remain accessible and saleable through other platforms.”

This is in response to a noncompliance notice from the government Important to note Binance application and website are still available and working for existing users.

🚨On December 28, 2023, the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) of the Indian Ministry of Finance issued a notice to Binance, Huobi Global, Kraken Digital Asset Exchange, Gate.io, KuCoin Exchange, Bitstamp, MEXC Global, Bittrex, and Bitfinex, alleging illegal operations within India.

❌huobi-korea,to shutdown 🚨 Arthur Hayes foresees 30% Bitcoin dump 🔥Grayscale drops MATIC adds AVAX, XRP ❗David Chaum Rebuilding Digital Money

❌huobi-korea, once the Korean branch of the global exchange HTX, announced its closure on January 29, citing challenges in the business environment. Despite the shutdown, users will still have the option to withdraw funds from the exchange. Info here https://lnkd.in/dGVAjaGV important to note The top five licensed exchanges in South Korea take up over 99% of the total trade volume in the country, official data showed, while some smaller platforms have gone out of business in recent months.

❗ Founded in 2017, huobi-korea ended its association with HTX (formerly Huobi Global) in January 2023. This shutdown aligns with the closure of other South Korean exchanges, including Cashierest and Coinbit in November. CoreDAX also temporarily suspended trading, facing issues such as delayed wages for employees.

🔻 Arthur Hayes foresees 30% Crash in Bitcoin. Why? Depletion of the Fed’s reverse repo program and expiry of a crucial funding facility for troubled banks may trigger a market crash in March and force the Fed to cut interest rates, Maelstrom CIO Arthur Hayes predicts Bitcoin could plunge 20%-30% in the rout but would quickly rebound In his blog post here Hayes highlighted imminent risks for U.S. banks and markets converging in March, raising concerns about a possible “liquidity rug pull” event reminiscent of the banking crisis experienced last March. https://lnkd.in/dByr9xCN

❗ Grayscale Investments, the asset manager, recently rebalanced three of its crypto funds, including the Digital Large Cap Fund, DeFi Fund, and Smart Contract Platform Ex-Ethereum Fund. Tokens like MATIC were removed, while Avalanche (AVAX) and XRP were added.

🛑 Despite MATIC being dropped from one portfolio, it remains in the GSCPxE Fund. Grayscale employs the CoinDesk DeFi Select Index methodology for fund benchmarks. The rebalancing reflects efforts to adapt to changing market dynamics and enhance fund performance.

😱 USDC Stablecoin Depegs to $0.74 on Binance ❗South Korea Bans Crypto Buys With Credit Cards ❌India’s Digital Rupee 🚨Nigeria’s New Rules for Crypto Firms

😱 Circle’s USDC stablecoin, tied to the US dollar, dropped to as low as $0.74 three times during a market sell-off triggered by doubts about the approval of a Bitcoin ETF. The declines occurred between 12:10 and 12:21 UTC on Binance against its USDT trading pair. Each time, the price swiftly rebounded to $1, indicating a lack of liquidity to maintain the stablecoin’s peg during intense selling. Info via CoinDesk https://lnkd.in/dc5GyNQ9

🔥 This could have been Catastrophic. If FUD was created similar to the Terra LUNA situation?

🚨 South Korea’s Financial Services Commission (FSC) has suggested a ban on using credit cards for cryptocurrency purchases due to concerns about the “illegal outflow of domestic funds overseas.” The proposal aims to extend the prohibition of credit card payments to include transactions with cryptocurrency exchanges, with the goal of preventing foreign currency outflow and countering money laundering, according to the regulator’s announcement on Thursday. Info here https://lnkd.in/de6YvwUb

❗ Important to note Last month, the FSC proposed rules to protect users of crypto exchanges, requiring the exchanges to store at least 80% of their customers’ deposits in cold wallets — crypto wallets not permanently online and thus less vulnerable to hacks. Under the rules, exchanges would also have to pay fees to customers for using their deposits.

❌ India’s CBDC
- India’s digital rupee, part of a retail Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) pilot, achieved over a million transactions in a single day on December 27, 2023. The initiative is active in more than 15 cities, with over a dozen banks participating. A letter from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Governor Shaktikanta Das on December 29 revealed this milestone. Additionally, one of the participating banks reported being encouraged to deposit employee funds and benefits using the digital rupee instead of traditional fiat currency.

🚨 Nigerian banks are still restricted from holding or trading crypto on their own behalf, despite regulators’ softening stance toward digital assets.
The Central Bank of Nigeria has released guidelines for banks on digital assets, signalling a relaxation in the country’s strict stance on crypto. The guidelines provide details on the recent decision to allow financial institutions to open accounts for virtual asset service providers, marking a significant shift from the previous ban on servicing crypto firms. Guidelines here https://lnkd.in/dmipF-aY

🎉#BTC 15 yr anniversary + Bitcoin White paper by chatGPT ❗Possible Spot #BTC ETF Rejection — Matrixport❗ Arbitrum’s ARB token new record🚀 Saylor Selling $216M MicroStrategy stock👊🏻

❗Why the SEC will REJECT Bitcoin Spot ETFs again
- Crypto investment services provider Matrixport expects the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to reject all applications to list a spot bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) this month. Great information here https://lnkd.in/dv_uipAc We at Blockchain DXB strongly agree with a note stating ‘The current five-person voting Commissioners leadership critical for the ETF approval of the SEC is dominated by Democrats. SEC Chair Gensler is not embracing crypto in the US,” in this great article by Markus Thielen

🎙️ Check out Blockchain DXB’s Crypto & Coffee at 8 podcast. We share our commentary on this

🔴 CoinDesk states that because of this article $400M were Liquidated in Two Hours Open interest fell by $2 billion due to liquidations, the dwindling value of BTC and traders reducing exposure on both the long and short side Info here https://lnkd.in/dveJBRq6

🔵 Even gold advocate and bitcoin detractor Peter Schiff warns that spot Bitcoin ETF approval could collapse the BTC market, His tweet here https://lnkd.in/dEinAvQB
🟠 Samson Mow also states something crucial that the Bitcoin ETF race will push issuers to disclose addresses Disclosures of verifiable on-chain proofs showing Bitcoin reserves would be the best option for spot Bitcoin ETF issuers to ensure their holdings. But none of the existing 14 applicants have been working to provide on-chain proofs, Mow said in an interview with Cointelegraph on Dec. 28. https://lnkd.in/dbfEPkNp

🚨 Michael Saylor, the executive chairman of MicroStrategy, has initiated the sale of $216 million in company stock options, as revealed by a recent regulatory filing. Saylor intends to divest 5,000 shares per trading day over the next four months to meet personal commitments and to increase his personal Bitcoin holdings. Notably, MicroStrategy’s shares experienced an 8.5% increase on Tuesday, defying the broader market trend of decline in cryptocurrency-related stocks. Filings here https://lnkd.in/d8f-VaWr

🚀 The Arbitrum token achieves a new all-time high as the total value locked surpasses $2.5 billion. Network transaction volumes have surpassed those of Solana-based applications, which experienced a surge following a meme coin-driven frenzy in December. The price has climbed some 10% in the past 24 hours, beating the broader crypto market, while on-chain volumes on Arbitrum-based applications crossed $920 million.

🚀 Bitcoin 🚀 causes MicroStrategy + Coinbase 🚀 🔥Orbit Chain hacked for $80 Million ❌Binance’s CZ Denied to Leaving USA

🚀 Impact of #BTC ETF
- In pre-market trading on January 2, the stock prices of MicroStrategy, focused on Bitcoin, and cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase experienced significant surges following the rise in Bitcoin prices above $45,000 and the approaching decision deadline for the Bitcoin ETF on January 10. Coinbase shares saw a 6% increase, reaching $184.99, while MicroStrategy’s stock witnessed a notable 9.14% rise, reaching $689.11. Cointelegraph here https://lnkd.in/d_QHwzx9

❗ But there’s an update to ETF Eric Balchunas Senior ETF Analyst for Bloomberg mentioned via Twitter that new Grayscale Investments amendment just dropped. Clear language on cash only but still no AP named, just blanks where name should go. Not sure why since the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission wants to see it and they have been pretty cocksure about having one. Also, nothing on fee (that I could see). That’s a big open question too. Info here https://lnkd.in/dPb_q-_y

🔥 1st Jan: Hack
Cross-chain bridge initiative Orbit Chain fell victim to a “cyberattack,” resulting in the illicit withdrawal of over $80 million from its bridge. The project disclosed that an “unidentified access” occurred on Orbit Bridge, leading to the identification of approximately $84.5 million dispersed across multiple wallet addresses associated with the attacker. The pilfered funds consist of 26,741.6 ETH held across five addresses (equivalent to around $64.5 million at present market prices), along with nearly $20 million worth of the stablecoin DAI stored in three other addresses. We strongly recommend following series of tweets here https://lnkd.in/dEJGmMA3

❗ A federal judge once more rejected Binance founder Changpeng Zhao
“CZ” Zhao’s plea for authorization to travel overseas while he awaits
sentencing for criminal charges in the United States. This decision, rendered
by Judge Richard Jones of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of
Washington represents the second instance in which Zhao’s request to travel abroad has been denied. Prosecutors contended that permitting the former Binance executive to travel posed a flight risk. Info via CoinDesk here https://lnkd.in/dUcRFA4g

👮🏻 Federal prosecutors have declared that legend Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder of FTX, will not be subjected to a second criminal trial, citing concerns that it would impede the prompt resolution of the case. They contend that the initial trial yielded ample evidence of Bankman-Fried’s financial crimes, rendering a second trial superfluous.

🟠 MicroStrategy grows Bitcoin Reserves By 14K BTC 🔵 Grayscale Investments board resignations 🥶 Crypto Users Lost $2B 🟦China Web3 Accelerator

🧡 MicroStrategy has added to its Bitcoin holdings with a substantial purchase of 14,620 Bitcoin, totalling $615.7 million. This move comes as the company’s stock experiences a remarkable 337% surge in 2023, making it one of the top gainers among US companies valued at $5 billion or more, as reported by CNBC here https://lnkd.in/d76Hhch2

  • MicroStrategy’s stock has soared 337% in 2023, outpacing almost all U.S. companies valued at $5 billion or more.
  • The growth has been fueled by the company’s bitcoin holdings, which the company started accumulating in 2020.
  • The vast majority of MicroStrategy’s value now comes from Bitcoin, though it still has a software business.

❗ Grayscale Investments experiences a series of board resignations amid its pursuit of a Bitcoin ETF.
🚨 In a formal 8-K filing submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Commission on December 26, Grayscale disclosed the departure of Barry Silbert, the founder and CEO of Digital Currency Group (DCG), Grayscale’s parent company. Mark Murphy, serving as the president of DCG, has also submitted his resignation from Grayscale’s board. The effective date for both resignations is set for January 1, 2024. To fill the vacancies, the board will welcome incoming members Mark Shifke, Matt Kummell, and Edward McGee. More info via Finance Magnates here https://lnkd.in/dtzcyi9F

🔥 Grayscale, being one of the 14 firms that have applied for a Bitcoin Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) spot, has actively engaged in discussions with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding its Grayscale Bitcoin Trust. The investment firm has emerged as one of the largest players in the cryptocurrency industry, recently winning a lawsuit against the SEC in August 2023 related to the Bitcoin ETF review.

🔴 DEFI in 2023
- In 2023, cryptocurrency enthusiasts experienced losses totalling $2 billion due to hacks, scams, and exploits, as reported by DeFi. This amount represents a notable decrease compared to the estimated $4.2 billion reported in 2022. It’s worth noting that the previous year also saw significant losses, with $40 billion attributed to the collapse of Terra, Celsius, and FTX. The reduction is largely attributed to improved security protocols, the industry remains susceptible to security risks. More info via CoinDesk here https://lnkd.in/dNu5zYzu

🚨Tether.to has officially acknowledged its extensive collaboration with various U.S. government agencies, such as the Department of Justice (DOJ), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the Secret Service. The collaborative efforts are aimed at enhancing the security of the stablecoin ecosystem for all users and supporting law enforcement initiatives against illicit activities.

❗ In a series of letters directed to Senator Cynthia Lummis, Tether highlights the collaboration relationship that the company has established with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the U.S. Secret Service, aiming to “combat illegal activities and aid in fund recovery.”

Paolo A. declared this measure is a “definitive move designed to protect our users and the integrity of the stablecoin ecosystem.”

While the SEC favors the cash model, Blackrock and other issuers advocate for in-kind creation. To address the regulator’s concerns, Blackrock has proposed a revised in-kind model. In its latest spot bitcoin ETF filing update, Blackrock addressed the potential classification of bitcoin as a security by the SEC.

🔥 CZ challenges U.S. Department of Justice 🟣Zipmex suspends trading in Thailand 🚀Ethereum whales🚀 Islamic coin update❗

🚨 Former Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao challenges the U.S. Department of Justice’s claim that he is a flight risk and may not return before his sentencing. Zhao opposes the government’s attempt to restrict his travel back to the United Arab Emirates to be with his family after pleading guilty. In a court filing on Nov. 23, Zhao’s lawyers requested a U.S. district judge to reject proposed changes to his bail conditions by the Department of Justice. Filing here https://tinyurl.com/md5dffex

  • The lawyers firmly stated that he has no intention of staying in UAE to evade his sentencing date despite the potential 18-month prison term.

  • However, the DOJ asserts that if Zhao chooses not to return from the UAE for sentencing, securing his return would pose challenges for the government

🛑 Zipmex

  • In a statement released on November 25, cryptocurrency exchange Zipmex has declared the suspension of all digital asset trading in Thailand. This proactive measure is part of Zipmex’s commitment to ensuring compliance with regulations set forth by the Securities and Exchange Commission, Thailand Info via FB post here https://tinyurl.com/4xcwnsm9

💡 It is important to note all customers will be able to withdraw both Thai Baht and digital assets from the Trade Wallet as usual through the website and mobile application until January 31, 2024.

🚀 ETH Whales: Crypto analyst Ali Martinez shared on Twitter https://tinyurl.com/bd7m8m58 that Ethereum whales have been notably active in the crypto market in recent days. On-chain data from Glassnode indicates that these whales have been consistently accumulating the altcoin for a consecutive period of nine days. He highlighted that this is the first 9-day accumulation spree in over nine months.

❗ Islamic Coin Official update

The issuer of the Islamic coin, Bored Gen DMCC, has fully cooperated with the ongoing investigation by the Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority regarding the token’s issuance and distribution. However, Bored Gen must obtain “appropriate approvals” before proceeding with the distribution of the Islamic coin (ISLM) in the Dubai market. More info via Bitcoin.com here https://tinyurl.com/3e2t5jmm

🚨 On 6th Oct VARA blocked the sale and distribution of ISLM after a determination was made that BG lacked the authority to do so.

❌ FAKE NEWS- Ishares XRP Trust by BlackRock 🚨 Swan Bitcoin says no to Mixing services 🔻ERC-4337 smart accounts🔻 Crypto survey from France

FAKENEWS

❌ Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas mentioned via Twitter that news regarding BlackRock’s registration to launch an XRP exchange-traded fund is fake news. The fake news sent the price of XRP soaring 7% before losing all of its gains. His tweet here https://lnkd.in/dYXeej8c

🚨 We at Blockchain DXB strongly believe that “ We live in a world, where having a lot of information is NOT important. Getting information from 1st source is” Check out Crypto & Coffee at 8 podcasts where we share our commentary also see slides 1 & and 2 below for a global snapshot of price-related information

🥶 Swan Bitcoin, a platform facilitating Bitcoin exchange, recently decided to close accounts of users engaging with mixing services. The company attributed this action to mounting pressure from banking institutions, prompted by a proposal from the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, US Treasury (FinCEN) to heighten record-keeping obligations on such transactions.

🔹 Yan Pritzker, co-founder and CTO of Swan Bitcoin stated that while the company itself has an open policy for allowing coin mixing as a privacy service, there is no way of on-ramping customers with fiat without connecting to qualified custodians and banks.

🟠 Bitcoin Maximalists are definitely not happy about this news!

Samourai Wallet states “Instead of mounting a defense you preemptively comply? Absolute losers” Tweeh here https://lnkd.in/dKpf-BkQ

🔻 ERC-4337 smart accounts = Fail
The ERC-4337 standard was introduced unexpectedly on March 1 during WalletCon in Denver. Back then, there was a hopeful outlook that “smart accounts” would quickly gain popularity. These accounts offer a way for users to skip using seed phrases and signing for specific transactions, leading to an overall improved user experience on blockchains compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). However New figures show hardly anyone is using ERC-4337

❗ Series of useful threads here https://lnkd.in/dxGHza3n which states Monthly account retention had been “terrible with just 6.89% of all the initial smart accounts stuck around for more than six months. Additional info via @bundlebear here https://lnkd.in/dzr-Zn9B

🔥SEC’s first window for Bitcoin ETFs ❗Ordinals flipped Ethereum NFTs 🚨HSBC: tokenized securities 🔴 “Dr. Doom” new token

🚨 Bloomberg ETF analysts James Seyffart, CFA, CAIA and Eric Balchunas mentioned via X (Twitter). In the United States, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has a “window” to approve all 12 spot Bitcoin ETF filings, including Grayscale Investments’s conversion of its GBTC trust product in the days leading up to Nov. 17, but stressed this was only possible.
🔴 “Delay orders were issued by the SEC for BlackRock, Bitwise Inc, VanEck, WisdomTree Asset Management, Invesco US, Fidelity Investments & Valkyrie Trading at the same time,” Seyffart wrote in a Nov. 8 post on X . Info here https://lnkd.in/dee7HBHq Important to note they still believe that there is a 90% chance that any of these funds get approved by January 10 next year.

Please let me know what your thoughts are.
- SEC will approve Bitcoin spot ETF
- Delay the decision
- The decision gets Postponed to 2025

🔹 Ordinals > Ethereum NFT’s
🔥 Bitcoin NFT sales surpassed Ethereum NFT sales for the first time on November 8, 2023, marking a historic shift in the NFT market. According to cryptoslam.io, Bitcoin-based NFT transactions totalled $17.17 million, while Ethereum NFT sales totalled $15.77 million over the 24-hour period.
This event is significant because Ethereum has long been the dominant blockchain for NFTs. However, Bitcoin’s growing popularity in the NFT space suggests that the market is maturing and becoming more diverse. More info via Bitcoin.com here https://lnkd.in/dK8_pxi9

🔴 HSBC
HSBC to launch storage services for tokenized securities as more big banks warm to blockchain. They are the latest institution to embrace digital asset custody after U.S. banking giant BNY Mellon announced a similar move in 2021. HSBC is “seeing increasing demand for custody and fund administration of digital assets from asset managers and asset owners, as this market continues to evolve.” More info via CNBC here https://lnkd.in/dv5gqKXU
HSBC is using technology from Swiss crypto custody firm Metaco, which was recently acquired by blockchain startup Ripple, to store bonds and other securities.

🔴 Dr Doom’s tokenized dollar
🏦 “United Sovereign Governance Gold Optimized Dollar” by Dr Nouriel Roubini would hedge against inflation and get a stable asset into more hands globally. More info via Decrypt https://lnkd.in/d5PZYp2w Atlas Capital Group, LLC, which Roubini co-founded and joined as chief economist two years ago, will team up with Andreessen Horowitz-backed Web3 developer Mysten Labs, to develop technology for the “United Sovereign Governance Gold Optimized Dollar.” Would be interesting to see how this turns out.

🧐 Blockchain 100 million daily users by 2028 🔥Aave halts operations 🔴Bored Ape Yacht Club Creator Yuga Labs and Magic Eden = NFT Marketplace ❗Sam Bankman-Fried update

🧐 Bloomberg analyst mentioned via Twitter Bear market/Bull market, adoption of #blockchain technology continues unabated. Not having exposure to one of the largest structural trends of the next decade could be costly. 5 million daily #crypto users today, is likely to be 100m in less than 5 years. https://lnkd.in/dnJi7mUc Cointelegraph article states Coutts compared blockchain rate adoption with PayPal’s rate growth. According to him, it took the fintech giant 13 years to reach 100 million daily users.

❗ Threads by Meta reached 30 million users in less than 24 hours. Instagram took 15 months to reach 30 million downloads, TikTok reached the milestone in just under two years, according to data.ai.

🎙️ We at Blockchain DXB feel there are very limited use cases of Blockchain technology and Centralized software offers a better user experience in terms of 1) Time 2) Cost 3) Quality. Also important to note that just switching current existing systems to Blockchain will not be successful. In order for sustained growth and user interactions.

🔥 Aave Halts Operations Due To Bug On Nov 4, the Aave Protocol temporarily halted select market operations in response to a reported bug. Specifically, Aave paused the Aave V2 Ethereum market, suspended particular assets on the Avalanche network, and temporarily froze specific assets on Aave V3 across Polygon, Arbitrum, and Optimism.

🔴 Important to note no funds on any of the markets were at risk, according to DeFi lending protocol. They would also release a detailed explanation once there is a full resolution. News via NEWSBTC https://lnkd.in/dHG3C2NP

🚨 Yuga Labs, the creator of Bored Ape Yacht Club Ape, is partnering with Magic Eden to introduce an Ethereum NFT marketplace that enforces the payment of royalties through contractual obligations. The companies said in a statement that Magic Eden will have a “contractual obligation” to pay Yuga Labs its share of secondary market sales of its future NFT collections. The change will not impact the way that traders interact with Magic Eden More info via Decrypt here https://lnkd.in/dnKNBmjk

❗ Sam Bankman-Fried is guilty of defrauding FTX crypto customers out of
billions of dollars! Upto 115 years in Prison! A 12-member jury in Manhattan federal court convicted Bankman-Fried on all seven counts he faced after a monthlong trial in which prosecutors made the case that he looted $8 billion from the exchange’s users out of sheer greed. Netflix documentary series be out soon?

👀 Gitcoin $460K error 💰Coinbase 2nd Largest ETH staker 🔴Binance, OKX + MoonPay comply with new rules in UK ❗Ukraine AI regulation❗

👀 Crypto developer platform Gitcoin has lost approximately $460,000 worth of Gitcoin (GTC) tokens due to an accidental transfer to an unrecoverable contract address. The funds were meant for a merchandise, memes, and marketing budget proposal but ended up in a GTC token contract instead. These funds are now trapped with no way to retrieve them, as reported on October 6 by project lead Coach Jonathan on the Gitcoin governance forum. More info on this here https://lnkd.in/dBMkMRBq

💲 A total of 521,440 GTC tokens were lost in the snafu. The coin was trading at just below $0.90 at the time, making the dollar loss an estimated $461,000.

🚨 Wu reports that a study conducted by Dragonfly data scientist hildobby, using data from Dune analytics, shows that Coinbase currently holds 3.873 million staked ETH, making up 14.1% of the total staked ETH. Coinbase’s significant presence in the ETH staking arena is second only to the liquid staking platform, Lido DAO, which controls a remarkable one-third of all staked ETH.

🚨 Binance and Kraken Digital Asset Exchange have a 4.2% and 3.0% market share, respectively. Meanwhile, the Figment staking pool comes third with a 4.9% market dominance.

🚨 Crypto 2 SEC 0
❗ The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has formally requested that a federal judge reject Coinbase’s motion to dismiss a lawsuit brought by the regulatory agency. The SEC has claimed that Coinbase has been aware from the outset that the cryptocurrencies it offers are considered securities when they meet the criteria of the Howey test. The regulatory body also alleges that Coinbase acknowledged this fact in its submissions to the SEC. Official filing here https://lnkd.in/dRvt_JQ3 Paul Grewal feels its the same old technique used by SEC his tweet here https://lnkd.in/dqSNUCMV

❗ In an Oct. 3 filing in a New York District Court, the SEC hit back at claims in Coinbase’s dismissal motion and reiterated its belief that some of the cryptocurrencies listed on its platform were investment contracts under the Howey test subject to SEC registration.

🔴 Ripple Case
In a court order dated October 3rd, Judge Torres rejected the SEC’s motion, stating that the regulatory body did not sufficiently demonstrate that there were pivotal legal issues at stake or substantial reasons for differing opinions on the matter.

📊 MarketWatch 3 days ago stated U.S. government shutdown could boost bitcoin prices, article https://tinyurl.com/2prkccat the prices have pumped BUT now since there is a stopgap. Tal Cohen managing director at Kraken Digital Asset Exchange USA, agreed that a government shutdown could be beneficial for bitcoin, but is less bullish on the price increase.

⚡ Now since we have a stopgap for 45 days, could this mean the prices would dump?

⚡ The global crypto market is close to $1.10T, See slides 1 & 2 below for a global snapshot. Also, check out our commentary on how Fed shutdown news & and stopgap updates have impacted the crypto market.

👁️ Ethereum futures ETFs to start trading next week?

🟢 Cointelegraph reported on the 28th Sep that Investment firm Valkyrie will start offering exposure to Ether futures in the coming day, Starting Oct. 3, the fund’s name will be updated to the Valkyrie Bitcoin and Ether Strategy ETF. It will allow investors access to Ether and Bitcoin futures “under one wrapper,” making it one of the first firms to do so amid several pending applications with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

🟢Asset manager VanEck also disclosed its upcoming Ethereum Strategy ETF, which will be listed on the Cboe Global Markets (CBOE) in the coming days. Analysts suggested that a potential U.S. government shutdown might have accelerated the launch of Ether futures ETFs. https://tinyurl.com/ymjn5z5t

❗ This was under the assumption Fed would be shutting down from the 01st Oct

❗ But now since there’s a 45-day stop gap does this guarantee an Ethereum Futures ETF

👀Federal government shutdown 🔵 Ether ETF applications update 🔴 Binance exits Russia 🏆 Bored Ape Yacht Club + Japanese Streetwear Brand Bape

🔥 Shutdown!
❗ A federal government shutdown is looming, set to begin on October 1 unless Congress successfully passes spending legislation. In the event of a shutdown, nonessential government functions would come to a halt. From 01st Oct, Looks like It's black and it's pink once the sun down, When the Republicans pull up, you know it's a shutdown.

The longer the shutdown lasts, the greater the potential impact will be on various aspects of government services and the lives of citizens.

🟥 Stablecoins
❗ The Federal Reserve Banks of Boston and New York published a staff report on Sept. 26 comparing stablecoins, such as Tether USDT and Circles USDC to money market funds.

📊 The report titled “Runs and Flights to Safety: Are Stablecoins the New Money Market Funds? is here https://lnkd.in/d9c2DSEe In the report they investigate similarities and differences between the two, comparing investor behaviour during the stablecoin runs of 2022 and 2023 to investor behaviour during the money market fund runs of 2008 and 2020. The report acknowledges that similarly to money market fund investors, stablecoin investors engage in a flight to safety.

🟩 Ethereum Network Fees lowest ❌ OpenSea API user breach❗Coinbase news from Spain 🚨Coinbase’s FTX EU acquisition plans

🟩 On-chain analytics show that Ethereum network fees have dropped to their lowest levels in 2023, averaging about $1.15 for each transaction. In 2021 & 2022 the average fees reached above $50 but this was during the POW era. A decline in fees is a positive sign for Ethereum’s utility and adoption, as lower costs make it more profitable and worthwhile to use the network. But what does it mean for the price of #ETH. We strongly urge checking details via DappRadar for a detailed breakdown of DAPP working on the Ethereum Blockchain

📊 According to IntoTheBlock. The decline in activity in the network is partly because of the adoption of layer 2 networks, and the trend will continue in the near term. It also states Network fees, a proxy for usage, plunged more than 9% this week to $22.1 million, the lowest in nine months

🎙️ Check out Blockchain DXB’s Crypto & Coffee at 8 podcasts to get a detailed breakdown of this. Also, see slides 1 & and 2 where we share global snapshot on #defi, #stablecoins & DAPPS

OpenSea warned that third-party access could affect victims’ allocated rate and usage limits. Article here https://lnkd.in/dxuZn2NT

❗ Important to note that OpenSea did not reveal how many users were affected, or if other data besides API keys may be at risk.

🚨FOMC meeting send Crypto 🚀SEC inspection into Binance.US 🔥SoftBank to invest in AI NOT crypto ❗ Presearch: A decentralized search engine

🚨The FOMC holds eight regularly scheduled meetings during the year. Scheduled events can be found here https://lnkd.in/d3JdKRGz Will Fed chair Jerome Powell increase the interest rate hike? Forbes article here https://lnkd.in/d9KhTM2W states Investors expect the Federal Reserve Board to maintain interest rates at current levels during its upcoming meeting on September 19–20. The S&P 500 has gained 17.3% year-to-date on optimism that inflation is trending in the right direction.

🚨What does this mean for Crypto? Important to note any surprises could have significant repercussions for risk assets, including crypto.

🚀 The Fed will likely pause on rate hikes and opt to keep the federal fund’s target rate range between 5.25% and 5.5%. It will also likely continue to allow assets to roll off its $8.1 trillion balance sheet.

🔥 In a strongly worded court submission on Monday, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) emphatically called on a D.C. court to grant permission for an examination of Binance.US. This action reinforces earlier allegations that the company has not complied with the SEC’s request to provide essential documents during the ongoing legal proceedings. The SEC believes Ceffu, rebranded earlier this year from Binance Custody, may also be serving Binance.US, and therefore being used to shift U.S. customer funds out of the country in violation of a previous agreement to not do so.

His bill is here https://lnkd.in/didPwxF4 More info via CoinDesk here https://lnkd.in/dA_qX2jM

🔵 He proposes strict reporting requirements for banks that could potentially make the digital yuan available for use in Australia.

❗ Do we require legislation & and regulation for crypto?

🟢 Gulf News article also states effective August 31, all cryptocurrency businesses in Dubai come ‘VARA-certified’ https://lnkd.in/dNffgQ7a Manoj Nair

🟠 Bitcoin was created as a movement towards the Separation of Money and the state. While regulations may sound good, it defeats the entire purpose of using cryptocurrencies.

🟥 Regulations and frameworks are needed for centralized services such as Exchanges to ensure investor and customer funds are protected. The least involvement in underlying protocol and technology would be the best form of support for the future of cryptocurrencies.

The new chain, called NewChain, will serve as a backend for MakerDAO’s SubDAO tokenomics and governance security. More info here https://lnkd.in/d-JM2fKZ

🟢 MakerDAO’s native chain, dubbed “NewChain,” is part of the fifth and final phase of the MakerDAO “Endgame” upgrade announced in May.

💥Balancer V2 Pools Under Threat, 😱Privacy mixer Tornado Cash Is an entity. 🚨Mastercard Launches CBDC Partner Program 💯 Pro-crypto Republican presidential debate

💥 Balancer, a decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol operating on the Ethereum blockchain, has recently disclosed a critical vulnerability impacting several of their V2 Pools. Crucial Info via Twitter here https://lnkd.in/e4Y_2rk9

  • Emergency mitigation procedures have been executed to secure a majority of TVL, but some funds remain at risk.
  • Users are advised to withdraw affected LPs immediately.
  • Important to note this vulnerability has not been exploited, and no funds have been lost.

In response, the Emergency SubDAO 134 acted to enable proportional
exit from all affected pools, and pause any pools still within the pause window.

❗ Looks like as of now #fundsaresafu

😱 Tornado Cash
🛑 A federal judge ruled against a group of Coinbase-backed investors and developers last week who alleged the U.S. Department of the Treasury overstepped its authority in sanctioning Tornado Cash. In doing so, he found that Tornado Cash had a DAO that could be sanctioned. More info via CoinDesk here https://lnkd.in/eqbQDtQz What does this mean for similar protocols?

🚨 While DAOs operate in a decentralized manner, this ruling suggests that they can still be recognized as organized entities with potential legal consequences.

🚨 Coinbase VS and SEC this week Multichain hack: Insider job? Bitcoin Exodus 85,000 BTC withdrawn Crypto ATM crackdown in UK

💰 Coinbase and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission will meet in court this Thursday, at 10:00 a.m. ET (for a pre-motion hearing) the hearing may give us a sense of how the judge is looking at the case in its earliest stages.

🏦 CoinDesk has a great breakdown on this here https://tinyurl.com/yv95dnj2 Coinbase also argued that the allegations shouldn’t even apply to its operations. The SEC was not swayed by this argument. In its response to the answer, the SEC said “Coinbase attempts to construct its own test for what constitutes an investment contract.”

🎙️Check out Blockchain DXB’s Crypto & Coffee at 8 podcasts where we give a detailed breakdown on this!

💥 Multichain attacker:

  • Cointelegraph has reported that A person is using the Multichain Executor to drain tokens associated with the AnySwap bridging protocol, according to a July 10 report from on-chain sleuth and Twitter user Spreek. The report follows outflows of over $100 million from Multichain bridges that occurred on July 7, which were reported by the Multichain team as “abnormal.” Article here https://tinyurl.com/mue95y3y

📊 According to a recent report by Chainalysis, the attack is suspected to be an inside job since Multichain has recently experienced some notable issues unrelated to its protocol design, prompting public suspicions that insiders may have carried out this recent exploit. https://tinyurl.com/2su7tx7e

💥 #btc Exodus

  • Bitcoin.com has reported that over 855,000 BTC withdrawn From Exchanges Since July 2020. According to current data, about 2,086,034 bitcoins were held on exchanges as of July 11, 2023. This figure is 154,160 bitcoins less than the number held on centralized trading platforms 72 days earlier, on April 30. The number of bitcoins on exchanges has significantly dropped since July 31, 2020, when nearly 3 million bitcoins were held in exchange reserves. https://tinyurl.com/3w5pyh5v

🚨 Centralized crypto exchanges are facing the Bitcoin drain, which is definitely a good thing & DEX vs CEX dominance is currently at 11.62%.

🏧 Financial Conduct Authority is proceeding with efforts to shut down all

Bitcoin ATMs “illegally operating” in the country. After more inspections in

the past couple of months, the watchdog vowed to continue to take action

against operators of unregistered crypto teller machines. The inspections have been carried out by South West Regional Organized Crime Unit, Bedfordshire Police, Hertfordshire Police and Crime Commissioner, and the Metropolitan Police. https://tinyurl.com/3kmh854k

🚨 The global cryptocurrency market is below $1.10T NFT & Metaverse tokens have been impacted the most in the last 7 days Bitcoin.com has reported that NFT Market has seen a 20% drop in weekly sales. NFT sales totalled $152.96 million last week, with $84 million in sales originating from the Ethereum blockchain. The article here https://lnkd.in/dzW2qXTp states the number of NFT buyers decreased by 63.59%.

🚨 Bank of China’s BOCI issues tokenized securities on Ethereum in Hong Kong Official press here UBS Media here https://lnkd.in/dmss6fny BOCI has successfully issued CNH 200 million fully digital structured notes, making it the first Chinese financial institution to issue a tokenized security in Hong Kong.

🚨 The United Nations has called artificial intelligence-generated media a “serious and urgent” threat to information integrity, particularly on social media. Official report here https://lnkd.in/dsWwxgnE Cointelegraph
article has a great summary on this here which states the UN claimed the risk of disinformation online has “intensified” due to “rapid advancements in
technology, such as generative artificial intelligence” and singled out
deep fakes in particular. False information and hate speech generated by AI is “convincingly presented to users as fact.” Last month, the S&P 500 briefly dipped due to an AI-generated image and faked news report of an
explosion near the Pentagon.

We at Blockchain DXB strongly feel “We live in a world where having a lot of information is not important, having information from the 1st source is”

🔥 Binance.US update
- Binance.US has hired former SEC enforcement co-director George Canellos, currently with the international law firm Milbank LLP, along with three other lawyers. Canellos left the SEC in 2014 after serving for more than four years in different leadership positions.

🔴 Apple launches Vision Pro! 🔻rypCto market: “ Do you bleed” As bitcoins market cap is below $500B🔻 SEC Sues Binance & Changpeng Zhao, 🚨 J.P. Morgan Blockchain use case in India 💡 #BTC Google trends lowest

🔴 Apple Vision Pro: An Augmented reality headset which is an introduction to Spatial Computing, a true game changer. Definitely offers a 10x better user experience than the current existing system. Is this the future of technology? This news should definitely drive the adoption of Metaverse! We strongly recommend checking the features & watch the WWDC 2023 via YouTube here https://lnkd.in/dHvkgZKK

⚡ Vision Pro: The most advanced electronic personal device ever starts at $3,499. A hefty price but definitely worth it. It definitely would be a wise move to build things on Apple instead of “Distributed” Metaverse platforms such as Decentraland or The Sandbox with extremely poor and terrible user experiences!

📊 The global crypto market is down to $1.09T, #BTC at $25,644 Check Blockchain DXBs Crypto & Coffee at 8 podcasts where share our commentary on it.

👀 Bloomberg reported that SEC sued Binance and CEO Zhao for Breaking Securities Rules. Filing here https://lnkd.in/dT839TrP Two key areas:
- The regulator says the firm operated an unregistered securities exchange
- Binance is also accused of improperly selling crypto tokens

❗ Binance called the complaint “disappointing,”

🧐 J.P. Morgan uses blockchain for 24/7 dollar transfers with Indian banks. JPMorgan applies blockchain to interbank U.S. dollar transactions in India amid growing signs of global de-dollarization. They have partnered with six banks in India The banks include top private lenders like HDFC Bank Ltd., ICICI Bank Ltd., Axis Bank Ltd., Yes Bank Ltd. and IndusInd Bank Ltd, in addition to JPMorgan’s own banking unit at GIFT City, More info via Bloomberg here https://lnkd.in/dt6avdpx

During the subsequent week, however, from June 12 to 18, 2022, the search term bitcoin rose to a score of 64. In just under a year, interest has dwindled by over 73%, plummeting to 17 during the week of May 28 to June 3, 2023.

🚨 Binance Australia: 1BTC = $9K, 💥Bitcoin Ordinals to bridge Ethereum NFTs ⚡Ripple XRP has a new record Dormant⚡ Ethereum Since 2015 on the move 🚨

🚨Bitcoin for $9,000 only?
⚡Finance Magnates has reported that Binance Australia sells Bitcoin way cheaper than competing exchanges in the region. The discount results from investors fleeing before June’s withdrawal suspension. Article here https://lnkd.in/dAfppxsB

🚨 Check out Blockchain DXBs Crypto & Coffee at 8 podcasts where we cover this and give out opinions on this. We also look at the 24hr volume of #defi, #stablecoins #btc & more

💥 Bitcoin Ordinals achieve a new milestone with over 10M Inscriptions & Ordinals will now allow users to migrate their Ethereum ERC-721-based nonfungible tokens (NFTs) to the Bitcoin blockchain with the launch of the BRC-721E standard. Cointelegraph has a detailed breakdown of this here https://lnkd.in/dXewMJre

🚨 WTF is the BRC-721E standard?
⚡ More info can be found here https://lnkd.in/dCibf9Ex We try to explain this in our podcast in easy to understand way. Essentially BRC-721E standard, lets people move their digital art from Ethereum to Bitcoin. This is done by “burning” the art on Ethereum, which means it can’t be used or changed anymore on Ethereum. After burning it, you can claim it on Bitcoin and it will be stored there with a lower-quality preview image and a reference
to the Ethereum burn. So basically, it’s a way to move and store your digital art on Bitcoin instead of Ethereum.

🚨 In summary, Bitcoin Ordinals offers a way to move Ethereum NFTs to the Bitcoin blockchain using the BRC-721E standard, allowing for decentralized storage of digital art with full metadata on the Bitcoin network.

💥 Ripple XRP to the moon + new record

🚨 Head of Extreme left-leaning administration mentioned via Twitter that “Speaker Kevin McCarthy and I reached a budget agreement in principle” tweet by Biden here https://lnkd.in/dmwcMmE5

❗ Key info from the tweet: The agreement represents a compromise, which means not everyone gets what they want. That’s the responsibility of governing.

🚨 Stably: A Dollar-Backed Stablecoin on Bitcoin Using Ordinals Protocol Bitcoin Ordinals is the new hype in 2023, Stably debuted Stably USD in 2019. It’s got a $7 million market capitalization across 11 blockchains, according to its April attestation.
Decrypt has more information on this here https://lnkd.in/dngMbVAm check our podcast for commentary on this

The latest attestation report shows it’s got a market capitalization of $7 million across 11 different blockchains, including Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Arbitrum.

❗ Some more information
- U.S.-based Stably, which calls itself a fiat onramp for crypto trading, has announced its BRC-20 U.S. dollar-backed stablecoin on Twitter. But there are a few red flags.

  • For starters, the total supply: $69.420 trillion, according to the company’s website. That’s more than double the U.S. national debt and likely a nod to meme culture. And things seem to be off to a slow start. Their documentation links to a reserve wallet with a $220 balance at the time of the article.

  • While Stably claims its subsidiary, Stably Trading LLC, is a registered money transmitter, the registration number and address on their website don’t match what’s listed on the FinCEN website under “Stably Trading, LLC.”

His tweet states Metaverse shitcoins are going to pump so hard it’s not even funny. We 100% agree as Decentraland, The Sandbox are currently up in price as well

❗ A similar rumour regarding Apple getting MR was mentioned via Bloomberg in the last quarter of 2022

🚨 Technical Error?
Coinbase has temporarily paused ETH staking reward payouts as they are working to resolve a technical issue. They have assured the customers #fundsaersafu Info here https://lnkd.in/dswUje4U It’s important to note that The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is likely to file an enforcement action against Coinbase in the coming weeks. Could it be possible that the exchange is preparing for potential regulatory action from the SEC? Some thoughts by DailyCoin here https://lnkd.in/dvqzDifd

🚨 15% of Net profit to buy Bitcoin
❗ Tether, the company behind the largest stablecoin Tether USDT is following in the footsteps of MicroStrategy to manage its reserves.

  • Will this move pump the price of Bitcoin? Something similar to what happened in 2020.

- The Tether Regulatory Vacuum

29th March: Crypto & Coffee at 8 🎙️🔵 Senate plans to ban crypto wallet! 🚨 European Banking Federation paper on European digital money ⚡ Crypto Fear & Greed Index: GREED 🟦 Left-leaning administration Elizabeth Warren is pushing the Senate to ban your crypto wallet Cointelegraph has reported that Elizabeth Warren is back with an Anti-Money Laundering act that would among other things make it mostly illegal for you to use your own crypto wallet. The bill is particularly harsh on decentralized finance (DeFi), including noncustodial ones, requiring platforms to record the personal information of users and submit it to the government without a warrant or probable cause. Check out Blockchain DXBs Crypto & Coffee at 8 podcasts where we explore this area in detail.🔥 The European Banking Federation is the voice of 33 national banking associations from all across Europe, representing over 3,500 banks & they have published a vision paper on a Digital Euro Ecosystem. The paper focuses on the retail digital euro & can be found here https://lnkd.in/dx69TjWZ Some of the highlights of the paper include- creates value for end-customers and the economy for existing and new innovative use cases, without crowding out payment services provided by the private sector,- preserves financial stability and bank funding, thus maintaining European banks’ lending capacity to the economy,- foresees a robust business model so so incentivize intermediaries to provide services and innovate based on the digital euro,- balances design choices to safeguard the privacy and enable the fulfilment of compliance requirements (KYC, AML, CFT) while allowing intermediaries to process customers’ payment data based on customers’ consent to provide value-added services, and- leaves ample room for the private sector to add on solutions and services to better serve customers.👀 Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao has addressed the allegations against him by The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). Official blog here https://lnkd.in/dhSF9nPv & it states the complaint appears to contain an incomplete recitation of facts, and Binance does not agree with the characterization of many of the issues alleged in the complaint.

🔥 Binance and Changpeng Zhao sued by CFTC 💰 Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy on #BTC Buying Spree ⚡ Gucci + Bored Ape Yacht Club

🚨 The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission has charged
Binance with willful evasion of federal law as the regulator insists Binance operated an illegal digital asset derivatives exchange. The CFTC and other federal agencies, including the Justice Department, have been investigating Binance for several years. Official filing here https://lnkd.in/dBD6BXmC

👮 The complaint also charges Samuel Lim, Binance’s former chief compliance officer, with aiding and abetting Binance’s violations.
- Binance BNB has been down by 6% since the news
- Binance BUSD market cap is down to $7.86 Billion
- Funds are #SAFU

🤑 The Global crypto market has been down ever since the interest rate hike of 25 basis points MicroStrategy has been on buying spree though! MicroStrategy has increased its total Bitcoin holdings to 138,955 BTC, purchased for $4.1 billion at an average of $29,817 per coin. Michael Saylor has mentioned via Twitter that MicroStrategy repaid its $205M Silvergate Bank loan at a 22% discount. As of 3/23/23, $MSTR acquired an additional ~6,455 bitcoins for ~$150M at an average of ~$23,238 per #bitcoin & held ~138,955 BTC acquired for ~$4.14B at an average of ~$29,817 per bitcoin. Tweet here https://lnkd.in/dZ4JWZmk & Official news & filings with Security Exchange Commission here https://lnkd.in/dfA6uFmM

❌Michael Saylor is definitely not the ideal advocate of Bitcoin as he often posts #fakenews incorrect and misleading information about bitcoin #fact. The only reason he is promoting Bitcoin is that in doing so the demand increases and his own network in Bitcoin increases

❌ Looks like Bitcoins are in the hands of Multibillionaires, multi-millionaires, Celebrities & Early adopters. This is definitely not ideal for a Peer-to-Peer electronic cash system. With the accumulation of Bitcoin among selected individuals Bitcoin as sound money may be a terrible idea.

01st Feb : Crypto & Coffee at 8👀 Nostr: Twitter Killer? goes Live! 🔥 Lightning Network NOT Blockchain 📈 Metaverse tokens outperformed Bitcoin in Jan!🔺Decentraland’s MANA has surged 152% for Jan, while The Sandbox’s SAND is up over 90%. CoinDesk article here has detailed information about it here https://tinyurl.com/mvvfja 👀 Nostr: Twitter Killer? goes Live!Nostr, an open protocol that promises to substitute centrally- controlled social networks such as Twitter, is now live on the Apple App Store with Damus (The social network you control). The Censorship king & Former CEO of Twitter mentioned via a tweet https://lnkd.in/d5Hdgpn9 Check out Blockchain DXB Crypto & Coffee at 8 podcasts where we explain this and compare it to Bitcoin.❗ Nostr is a protocol for transmitting notes and other information through relays. It uses asymmetric cryptography, with users having public and private keys. The public key is the user’s ID and the private key is their password. Messages can be encrypted and decrypted with public and private keys, similar to Bitcoin transactions. Nostr is still in its infancy, with a smaller user base and less established history compared to Bitcoin. It is an open, censorship-resistant, and permissionless communication protocol. Nostr’s recent listing on the App Store has expanded its reach to a larger audience.🟠 Lightning Network NOT BlockchainStrike launches instant cheaper remittances for the Philippines using Bitcoin Lightning Network. This will allow for fast, secure and low-cost money transfers between the U.S. and the Philippines, which is one of the world’s largest remittance markets. Bitcoin Magazine news article states Strike has partnered with Pouch.ph to enable transfers from U.S. dollars to Philippine pesos, which can be received in a bank or mobile money account in the Philippines. https://lnkd.in/dKFYdnzy❓ People from UAE can send remittances to the Philippines instantly at $0 fees as well. Why use Strike when current existing systems do a similar job?🔺 Dogecoin climbed to an eight-week high on Jan. 31 . Reason being Musk tweeted back on January 25 last year about how he will eat a McDonald’s happy meal if the fast food company accepts Dogecoin as a mode of payment. NEWSBTC has reported that If McDonald’s ever implements DOGE as a mode of payment, the coin would have access to 40,031 restaurants while simultaneously adding a big name to the already large number of merchants that accept the coin as payment method. https://lnkd.in/ddisG-zs 🚨Two UAE News: (See slides for more info)⚡ Bloomingdale’s Middle East collaborates With Non-Fungible Clothing To Drop An Ultra Rare Web3 Fashion Collection (Dubai)⚡ Dubai A Red Ocean for cryptocurrency, blockchain, and the metaverse.

🔑 Proof of Keys OR Proof of reserves for cryptocurrency exchange?

⛔ Stable Coins account for 98.08% of the volume (Not ideal)

🚨The 2nd line of the Bitcoin whitepaper ‘…….but the main benefits are lost if a trusted third party is still required to prevent double-spending.

🔴 Satoshi Nakamoto solved the “Double Spend” problem & using Cryotography+ Hashing Algorithm+ Mathematics Private key/Public key/ Public Address. Proof of Keys is the only way forward for Self Sovereign Identity.

⚡ But as an industry should we focus on (Keeping in mind the user experience & convenience)

✅ Changpeng Zhao, CEO of Binance mentioned on Twitter that all crypto exchanges should do Merkle-tree proof-of-reserves. https://tinyurl.com/yc68mrcz

Much of it is the FTT token issued by FTX, another Bankman-Fried company.

20th Oct 🚫 Tesla: #HODL & #havefunstayingpoor Bitcoin for Billionaires 👍🏻 Bitcoin joins the Guinness Book of World Records

💥 Tesla makes no changes to Its Bitcoin Holdings in the third quarter. The earnings report here https://bit.ly/3EW5abB indicates Tesla did not sell any of its bitcoin holdings nor purchase any additional bitcoin in the third quarter. The current value of its digital assets remained at $218 million.

😶 Michael Saylor lately is sounding like Satish Kumbhani of Bitconnect

🙋🏼‍♂️ The former CEO of MicroStrategy is definitely not the ideal person to be an advocate for the Bitcoin community. The multi-billionaire who often provides fake news, and misleading & incorrect information about Bitcoin via Twitter had a talk about Bitcoin Mining Council Q3 2022 Briefing https://bit.ly/3CMJSub. The multi-billionaire discussed the struggle of the individual vs. the overwhelming collective force of modern corporations and governments and explained why #Bitcoin is the best hope we have to deliver human rights & prosperity to the world.

❓❓❓Isn’t MicroStrategy part of the Modern Corporations?

❌ Historically Bitcoin & Open Blockchain have severe allergic reactions to councils, associations & centralization. With the accumulation of wealth with Multibillionaires & modern corporations does it make it easier for the state to make amendments at the protocol level? ie Bitcoin mining with ESG concerns

💡 The Fixed Supply of Bitcoin coupled with Game Theory & Human Greed to accumulate more is a tough problem to solve. Check out our podcast where we at Blockchain DXB share our opinions on this.

🚨 Bitcoin has been added to the Guinness Book of World Records as the ‘First Decentralized Cryptocurrency BUT with some errors, The 2023 edition of the Guinness World Records was launched last month with the inclusion of Bitcoin, NFTs, & more. The 2023 edition brought in a new category tagged ‘Cryptomania.’ This unique aspect added information about Bitcoin and several blockchain events. Bitcoin.com in the article has pointed out some crucial errors. See the article here https://bit.ly/3MLcyby

🔴 Few questions for Thursday ⚡ Is Bitcoin Distributed or Decentralized? ⚡ How many times is the word Distributed mentioned in the Bitcoin white paper?

🚨 CryptoQuant a crypto analysis platform identified an outflow of 48,000 bitcoins ( approximately $940m )coming from the trading platform Coinbase Pro. And based on the research a large portion of the funds were old coins going back to 2011 Info via their Twitter account here https://bit.ly/3MIdoG5 The power of Open source!

❓How will this news impact the price of Bitcoin & Cryptocurrencies?

🔥 CNBC has reported that Stocks rise as investors look ahead to key consumer inflation data. With midterm elections next month it would be really interesting to see what the numbers are. The article also states If inflation stays high, the central bank is more likely to continue its aggressive path of interest rate hikes to bring it back into check. That means rates will continue to rise and may stay high for longer than markets expect Article here https://cnb.cx/3EwqfZU

🚨 Bloomberg LP states US core inflation is seen returning to a 40-Year high as rents rise, they feel the report is expected to keep Fed on the path to a big November rate hike, Info here https://bloom.bg/3yzQbA7

🟧 Where does Bitcoin fit into inflation? 💯 Unfortunately, Bitcoin has failed as a hedge against inflation, Stablecoins though, on the other hand, has acted as a hedge against Inflation for the Fiat world & Crypto world too. Cointelegraph had an interesting article last month that shared reasons why stablecoins are ideal as instruments against inflation. The article shares crucial information on Turkey & Nigeria & Argentina’s inflation numbers & Stablecoins particularly Tether.to USDT. Article here https://bit.ly/3MFRwv7

🤨 Greg Foss though says Bitcoin is a hedge against monetary inflation. At the Bitcoin Amsterdam event, an interesting conversation can be seen via YouTube here https://bit.ly/3ewXTE5. Greg Fos, Jeff Booth, & Dylan LeClair discuss Has Bitcoin’s Inflation Hedge Narrative Failed?

🌆 Bitcoin Amsterdam takes place between 12th -14t of this month. More info here https://bit.ly/3TeC0s6 . Some heavy-duty speakers including Nigel Farage, Former Member of the European Parliament & more at the event. A recap of day 1 can be found here https://bit.ly/3CSy1Mv

👀 Are stablecoins a safe haven for cryptocurrencies❓

Who wins the war on stablecoins? - Tether.to USDT - Circle USDC - Binance BUSD - CBDC

🚦European Union’s MICA ie Markets in Crypto-Assets is getting in the way of Circle’s Euro Coin as it aims to instil regulatory clarity around crypto assets. Cointelegraph has an informative article https://bit.ly/3DULjJc

✋🏻 Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) the research and development agency of the U.S. Department of State in partnership with Inca Digital is currently researching the Risks of Crypto to National Security More info via The Washington Post https://wapo.st/3LLWg1M

🚨The project is part of the U.S. government’s wider crackdown on illicit uses of digital assets. Inca Digital will develop tools that give the Pentagon a granular view of crypto markets’ inner workings, in part to help authorities crack down on illicit uses of digital assets. CEO Adam Zarazinski has some interesting things in the article, particularly about scams

🚨Earlier in June DARPA had also partnered with Trail of Bits which released a very critical report that examined unintended centralities in distributed ledgers. report here https://bit.ly/3UC28P4 the blog provides a critical & informative summary https://bit.ly/3dJfUPk

Assembly Bill 2269 — Vetoed by Office of California Governor Gavin Newsom a good move? Bill here https://bit.ly/3CbfcU8 He recommended a “more flexible approach” & that he is waiting for federal regulations to “come into sharper focus for digital financial assets” before working with the legislature to establish crypto licensing initiatives.

A good move for the cryptocurrency industry for sure as it would have created a licensing regime for anyone hoping to facilitate crypto transactions, likening it to how money transmissions are currently overseen by the Money Transmission Act. Left-wing leaning democrat Tim Grayson who sponsored the bill shared his statement via Twitter here https://bit.ly/3xNUZBd

21st Sep 📢Interest Rate Hike announcement📢 Global crypto market cap is $926.78B🔻

👨🏼‍⚖️ Federal Reserve System Board chair Jerome Powell will announce the interest rate hikes later today. This could sway the price of Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency in either a positive or negative way.

✋🏻 Human Greed + Game theory + Supply of Bitcoin (Fixed) = Makes Bitcoin not an ideal form of money. With over 90% of supply among early adopters, multibillionaires, celebrities & multi-millionaires, will bitcoin ever succeed in playing a pivotal role in the separation of Money and the state?

ℹ️ Ethereum + Bitcoin info

  • Glassnode weekly insights The Merge: A Feat of Engineering talks only about Ethereum no info on Bitcoin probably for the very first time! Is this the sign of Ethereum flippening bitcoin?

CoinShares weekly blog via Medium states - Post-Ethereum Merge flows indicate continued caution amongst investors with the 4th week of outflows totalling US$15m. - Bitcoin saw inflows totalling US$17m, the first inflows following a 5-week run of outflows that totalled US$93m.

See our slides 1& 2 where we discuss market share, 24-hour trading volume & Dominance between #BTC & #ETH on a daily basis. Price info via CoinMarketCap.

🦇🔊 Ethereum ultrasound money?

  • Bitcoin vs Fiat Currency: #BTC Supply fixed, Demand varies

12th Sep 👀Bitcoin for the Multi Billionaires OR for the people? Global Cryptomarket in 💚 $1.06T BUSD volume 🔝

💰 Multibillion $ company MicroStrategy plans to sell up to $500 million of stock to fund more cryptocurrency purchases. Official filing with Security Exchange Commission https://bit.ly/3RRYrm6 They have entered into a sale agreement with Cowen and Company, LLC, Research Division, and BTIG

Misleading & Fake news 😡Michael Saylor former CEO of MicroStrategy has been providing a lot of #fakenews, Misleading & Incorrect information via his Twitter Why? The answer is simple he wants to pump the demand so his existing net value in Bitcoin increases. He is also being sued by the District of Columbia for Tax fraud.

🚫 With the accumulation of Bitcoin & with him being involved in the Bitcoin mining council would it be possible for the state to force him directly or indirectly to make changes to Bitcoin’s code & ecosystem? Historically Bitcoin has had a strong allergic reaction to Councils. What will happen to the price of Bitcoin if MicroStrategy decides to dump all its Bitcoin?

🙋🏼‍♂️❓ Is Bitcoin for Billinairse or for average individuals? Accumulation of Bitcoin is in the hands of a selected few, Multi-Millionaires, Billionaires, Celebrities & early adopters, definitely not ideal for Peer to Peer electronic cash system!

08th Aug 🚫 A failed experiment? Bitcoin was officially made a legal tender in El Salvador a year ago.

💥Price info (See Slide no 3 for detailed info)

❗06th Sep 2021 ( A day before) Bitcoin = $52,738 Bitcoin Market Cap = $989 Global Crypto market $2.32Trillion Dollar

❗07th Sep 2021 — Legal Tender Bitcoin = $46,811 Bitcoin Market Cap = $880 Global Crypto market $2.01Trillion Dollar Tether.to USDT was $167B

❗08th Sep2022- Today Bitcoin = $19,031 Bitcoin Market Cap = $364 Million Global Crypto market — $987 Billion

💰 Cointelegraph has reported that On Sept. 6, 2021, the Salvadoran government made their first Bitcoin purchase, buying 200 BTC at $10.36 million, or at an average price of $51,800. Article here https://bit.ly/3RLdPR6

🗣️El Salvador’s president, Nayib Bukele, has stated that Bitcoin adoption will hugely benefit the 70% of the local population that lacks access to banking services. And this move could save citizens $400 million in fees on remittances sent home from abroad every year.

🔻 A year later, just a few weeks ago Simon Dixon the OG of Bitcoin & CEO of BnkToTheFuture.com went to EL Salvador to discuss how To transform El Salvador With Bitcoin. El Salvador bitcoin recovery plan! He posted via LinkedIn that In the land of Bitcoin reform is coming currency reform, banking reform, pension reform & security reform You can watch more info about the discussion here via YouTube https://bit.ly/3AWgvVh . Info here https://bit.ly/3KVlbPJ

🙋🏼‍♂️❓ Would it have been better for El Salvadorians to just implement stable coins instead? It does solve Banking the Unbanked & remittance problems too.

🤫ETH Merge & Centralization Samson Mow claims a few node operators have the power to change, delay or even cancel the upcoming Ethereum Merge. Info via his Twitter here https://bit.ly/3RHypBP He also cited an old blog dated 01st July here https://bit.ly/3KS56KS He is clearer a big advocate for Lightning Network & rightly so. But ironic that he highlights Ethereum Centralization issues while he himself was working for Blockstream

⚡That being said Lightning Network NOT Blockchain could solve a lot of the problems and the narrative is slowly building momentum. Lightning Network does solve Scalability, Security, Decentralization & Privacy but LN is still lightning years away.

❗Money corrupts people or Money is corrupted itself ❗ 🤴🏻Even Prince Philip Hereditary Prince of Serbia and Yugoslavia is bullish on Bitcoin Cointelegraph has published a video via YouTube that clearly shows that he is a strong proponent of Bitcoin & he criticizes altcoins for being mere attempts to copy the original cryptocurrency. https://bit.ly/3RnNIzW I 100% agree with him. Great info on Pre-mining, CEO, marketing department, history of money & how war is financed & a lot more.

🔴🔵Which side of a political party is in favour of Bitcoin, Opensource, Freedom & Cryptocurrency?

USA

✅Right Wing (Republican)

❌Left Wing (Democrats)

UK

✅Right Wing (Conservative)

❌Left Wing (Labor Party)

India

✅Right Wing ( BJP)

❌Left Wing (Congress)

⚫Is Bitcoin Apolitical? In theory yes but in reality, politicians, for now, do have a massive impact on Bitcoin & Cryptocurrencies. Maybe once we achieve A separation of Money & the state. Eleanor Terrett journalist at Fox Business Network has mentioned via Twitter that Gary Gensler will be testifying in front of the United States Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs on September 15th Her tweet here https://bit.ly/3e6muiC would be interesting to hear any questions on cryptocurrency & maybe about FedNow project.

👁️Bitcoin mining is on the verge of a new all-time high of 231 Exahash. You can track the details here https://bit.ly/3ACMPMP As a rule The more hashing (computing) power in the network, the greater it’s security and overall resistance to attack. But is so much security ideal for the Bitcoin blockchain network?

⚒️The mining difficulty jumped 9.26% higher, recording the second highest difficulty rise in 2022 & and it’s now 11.63% harder to find a bitcoin block reward. You can see the change in block height of 751,968, Bitcoin.com states that Currently, the difficulty is 30.98 trillion, which is only 0.27 below the network difficulty’s all-time high (ATH) at 31.25 trillion on May 10, 2022 Article here https://bit.ly/3KyYsc4 & more info here https://bit.ly/3KyYsc4

❓Is so much security good for the network?

When the difficulty goes down, is it possible for 51% attack?

✋🏻Last month, miners in Texas suspended operations to help the energy grid and conserve energy during a heatwave — a move that likely made Bitcoin easier to mine. Decrypt https://bit.ly/3cEMy3R

❓With Ethereum on the verge of switching from POW to POS, how will the government & global elite react to Bitcoin energy mining consumption?

🚫US Recession & impact on cryptocurrency? ⚫ Tether USDT Black Swan for Crypto?

✋🏻 Chair Jerome Powell of the Federal Reserve Board has constantly assured the people that the USA is not in recession & he may be right. The data for Employment & Labour statistic ie Demand & Supply & job market can be found via of Bureau of Labor Statistics

💸UBS though has raised the US recession odds to 60% & the analysts strongly believe the possibility of a recession in the US is increasing and this could be an important stress test for crypto. Cointelegraph article states economist Pierre Lafourcade feels the latest data showed a 94% chance of the economy contracting, but added that it “does not morph into a full-blown recession.” an interesting article on what does the recession mean for crypto prices?

👀 So what data do we look at for recession?

1) Government official data

2) Data by multi-billionaire companies & analysts?

👀 Whom do we trust with data & information?

❌ Government

❌ Multibillion-dollar companies

✅ Do your own research

❗We at Blockchain DXB strongly feel We live in a world where having loads of information is not important. Having information from 1st source is.❗

💲We strongly feel Cryptocurrencies might be heavily impacted by an economic recession but any price predictions are 100% right 50% of the time.

⚫Tether.to a Black Swan for Crypto?

The Wall Street Journal published an article that states Tether needs an audit that’s akin to a corporate colonoscopy’ & they are 100% right Article here https://on.wsj.com/3Qb3QUg the audit done by BDO Italia is definitely lacking crucial details, audit details here https://bit.ly/3pXeraz, but its still better than the 1page Pie Diagram audit they did in 2019?

⚫Tether.to has responded to Wall Street Journal ‘disinformation’ #fakenews. Blog post here https://bit.ly/3R56Nqm. It has reassured that it is committed to maintaining its role as the leading stablecoin in the market As of today out of $67.65B of stablecoins, which is 89.36% of the total crypto market 24-hour volume. USDT accounts for $51.5B

👀Our strong recommendation is to look at the audit done by BDO Italia & compare it to the audit done by Circle #USDC. Then make up your mind about which Stability you can trust. Audit here https://bit.ly/3TtDQpS The PDF version which is 783 pages long can be seen here https://bit.ly/3Rs0j4V filed with Security Exchange Commission

❓Who wins the Stablecoins race?

❓Will the FedNow project poses a threat to stablecoins & vice versa?

🩸The greatest meme of money is the $USA! 🚫FedNow to be launched in 2023 & will act as #HODL for fiat currencies?

🔻The value of the US dollar has lost more than 96% of its purchasing power since the creation of the Federal Reserve in 1913 But despite $USA losing its value over time, it is still the best-performing Fiat currency. The DXY Dollar Index has punched up to a new twenty-year high above 109.30.

👀The Federal Reserve Board updates FedNow Service timing to mid-2023, marking the beginning of full-scale pilot testing. Info here https://bit.ly/3e5FttH.

❓❓Where does Bitcoin fit into the monetary system? The Separation of Money & the state will happen but will Central Bank Digital Currencies act as a HODL for Fiat Currencies? The current market share of Bitcoin is currently at $386 Billion a ridiculously low amount to be a threat to the $USA & for money

⚡ Will the FedNow work alongside Bitcoin & Cryptocurrencies?

⚡ Can FedNow post a threat to Bitcoin & vice versa?

⚡ Do we need stablecoins if FedNow gets mainstream?

⚡ What will be the Role of FedNow in the Metaverse?

🛠️Glassnode weekly insights mention that Bitcoin is barely hanging on. With loads of technical analysis it mentions that In aggregate, Bitcoin investors are realizing around $220M/day in net losses. Looks like the bulls are fighting an uphill battle. Info here https://bit.ly/3TtkC3N

🛠️CoinShares weekly blog via Medium states the market volumes remain very low. Bitcoin saw a third consecutive week of outflows totalling US$15m While Ethereum saw weekly inflows totalling US$3m. Ethereum has seen a 9-week run of inflows totalling US$162m Info here https://bit.ly/3CGEbiV

🥶 Crypto market below $1T, #BTC below $20k & #ETH below $1,500 Federal Reserve Board chair Jerome Powell gave an immersive speech in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, to deliver an update on the central bank’s fight against inflation. The amount of power the FED has over the markets is truly terrifying. The unfortunate cost to reduce inflation has a strong impact on the cryptocurrency industry. The 8min speech via CNBC ->https://bit.ly/3QZqu2V

❗The Federal Reserve Board also has useful information here https://bit.ly/3PsCXKV that explains things such as

  • What is Inflation

  • How does the Federal Reserve evaluate changes in the rate of inflation?

A must-visit the page

🤨Where does Bitcoin fit into all of this?

While bitcoin has not proven to be a hedge against inflation A lame article via CoinDesk that does the blame/game on inflation & does not provide any valid explanation or benefits of Bitcoin https://bit.ly/3KvI63Z Sure separation of Money & the state sounds like a brilliant idea BUT the fact the Bitcoin accumulation is in the hand of selected few. How does Bitcoin help with the dynamics of money? Maybe Bitcoin 2.0? Check out Blockchain DXB points on Bitcoin as a World Reserve Currency. still, Work in Progress here https://bit.ly/3R9UUiU Another failed article by Bitcoin Magazine with a headline that states “Bitcoin is freedom from the Fiat system’s walled garden: but gives 0 explanation on how Bitcoin helps. Instead does the easy blame/game about Software giants https://bit.ly/3KpVmXX

😡 Inflation & Climate change 🌤️?

Bitcoin.com article states European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde blames climate change for Europe’s Torrid inflation, article here https://bit.ly/3AtD2bU Original article by Madame Figaro here https://bit.ly/3CFV8KA The article also talks about how Left Wing Biden administration is following the same trend, as the recently implemented bill called the Inflation Reduction Act

🕵🏻 🔍Satoshi Nakamoto’s encoded message on Genesis block “The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks.” may have fallen on deaf ears. Over a decade long and the monetary system is still a failure. The separation of Money & the state will eventually happen it just might take way longer than anticipated

25th Aug 🚨 El Salvador bitcoin recovery plan! Simon Dixon the OG of Bitcoin & CEO of BnkToTheFuture.com posted via LinkedIn that In the land of Bitcoin A reform is coming currency reform, banking reform, pension reform & security reform https://bit.ly/3T8E3Pb

  • Was making Bitcoin a Legal Tender a good move?
  • What are the Short Term & Long Term Implications?

🎙️ We strongly recommend listening to two contrasting views

1) Peter McCormack, host of What Bitcoin Did has two interviews with President Nayib Bukele. Both available on YouTube

  • https://bit.ly/3Tdlvxc — Clear a lot of misconceptions
  • https://bit.ly/3AoXJFE — Great follow-up questions a year later

2) Laura Shin, host of Unchained Podcast interviews Nelson Rauda, Salvadoran journalist for El Faro

  • https://bit.ly/3ANqk9n — Interesting points discusses

❓ The big question regarding the reform is whether the recovery plan helps El Salvadorians and the country OR does it help Hedge Funds/ Investors/ Bitcoin Maximalists who are betting on it?

👀 The Twitter space with BTC_Archive discussing “El Salvador distressed #Bitcoin lender recovery plans” a few days ago was it meant for El Salvadorians OR investors mostly in the USA, Bitcoin Maximalist? Whom was the session aimed at ?https://bit.ly/3RbKcbh

✅ #ETH As the merge date gets closer ETH supply has increased sharply in the past few weeks. Finance Magnates has reported that Ethereum addresses with non-aero balance hit an all-time high https://bit.ly/3Klmszf

⚡Race for 1 million TPS Between Bitcoin Blockchain & Ethereum Blockchain which protocol reaches 1 million TPS first, keeping in mind & not compromising with Blockchain Trilemma i.e. decentralization, security, and scalability.

CBDC 🆚 Bitcoin? Governor Olli Rehn from Bank of Finland (Suomen Pankki — Finlands Bank) in a panel at the University of California, Berkeley discussed Digital Euro as Monetary Anchor https://bit.ly/3R57UGk & it could facilitate pan-European services to consumers soon. While CBDC does have a few benefits but at what cost?

✋🏻 Blockchain DXB has an event on the 9th of September via Eventbrite called Central Bank Digital Currencies: The Basics, Threats to Freedom & Metaverse & PESTLER analysis on Bitcoin ie — (Political Environmental Social Tech Legal Religious) analysis on Bitcoin (slides for both are below in TWO UAE news section)

🚨Stablecoins account for 96.56% ❗Is Defi Dead?💀

🚨Stablecoins account for 96.56% of the total crypto market volume & the volume is only $55.99B, not an ideal metric even for the weekend. The total crypto market volume over the last 24 hours is $58.45B via CoinMarketCap & $69.4B via CoinGecko

😇Are stablecoins a safe haven & hedge against cryptocurrencies? Not ideal, as a better alternative would be to use the $USA or any other Fiat currency. Tether.to USDT still accounts for over 82% of all stablecoins & they have hired BDO Italia for their monthly assurance reports, and USDT’s quarterly attestation. Official blog post here https://bit.ly/3QHD2f5 Paolo A. CTO of Bitfinex & Tether.to stated “We are fully committed to maintaining our role as the leading stablecoin in the market,”

🔻Such low volumes clearly indicate the sheer use case of Stablecoins when cryptocurrency fluctuates. Unfortunately, this makes a perfect use case for Central banks around the world to advertise, publicize, and even force the use case of CBDC

🏦 The Bank for International Settlements — BIS has published a few reports

  • Technology, innovation and financial services by Michelle W Bowman talk about Federal Reserve Board Support for Innovation, Crypto Asset & FedNow and Central Bank Digital Currencies. This has the potential to Bank the Unbanked but at what cost? Article here https://bit.ly/3cctJFc The 4-page document also states that FedNow most likely will be available by mid-2023

  • Digital euro — opportunities and risks by Joachim Nagel President of Deutsche Bundesbank mention how to exploit the opportunities presented by CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency) as it has great potential. It also talks about a desire to be able to pay anonymously. An offline digital euro with privacy similar to cash https://bit.ly/3wlIiNl

☠️Defi⚰️

The Total Value Locked in Defi is down to $61B Cointelegraph has a good article DeFi needs to start creating real-world value if it wants to survive some good points such as Value can’t come out of thin air & the downfall of Defi since its peak in Dec 2021 https://bit.ly/3AjQBe2

🤑2022 the year of Crypto.com + Binance & mislead news by Bitcoin Magazine continues

👏🏻 Crypto.com has joined forces with Australian tech company DataMesh Group and OTR to launch Australia’s first in-store cryptocurrency payments across more than 440 of Peregrine’s retail outlets Official info here https://bit.ly/3ccw5nw Bitcoin Magazine has misled the news by saying it only #Bitcoin, not true its for major cryptocurrencies not just for Bitcoin.

👏🏻 Binance.US has obtained a money transmitter license in Nevada Official news via the blog here https://bit.ly/3pyrxL1 Brian Shroder, CEO of Binance.US. has some nice words in the article

18th Aug 🚨 UK inflation of 10.1%, In USA FOMC Meeting, hints to smaller rate hikes BUT Where does Bitcoin fit into all of this?

👀 Office of National Statistics has released CPI numbers & inflation is currently at 10.1% Hits double digits for the first time since 1982 Official news can be seen here https://bit.ly/3SVZyTc The website also have a brilliant explanation on - What is inflation? - How to use the calculator - Further information A must understand this here https://bit.ly/3AtSw0J much better than YouTube price influencers

👀 Federal Reserve Board’s FOMC meeting minutes release indicates a smaller hike than in previous months. This shouldn’t be a surprise if you have watched the official video here https://bit.ly/3QPHh8i It would be interesting to see what the rate hike is towards the end of the month PDF here https://bit.ly/3SQhNt4

❗The Federal Reserve Board also has useful information such as - What is inflation - How does the Federal Reserve evaluate changes in the rate of inflation? A must visit the page https://bit.ly/3PsCXKV definitely a much better alternative than price influencers & world-renowned Twitter & YouTube economist.

❓Is Bitcoin a hedge against inflation? Or are stable coins a hedge against crypto?

⚡ Cointelegraph has put a video on YouTube, the hosts did ask excellent questions but the answers were weak by the guest Steven Lubka from Swan Bitcoin. He tried to explain the definition, of monetary supply, comparing of cash to physical assets. It may be better to get an unbiased opinion if Bitcoin is a hedge against inflation. Lyn Alden Schwartzer has an excellent article A Look At the Lightning Network https://bit.ly/3wfKrdt he could have used some points from here instead. Lightning Network, not Blockchain is slowly gaining momentum, do we need Block + Chain protocols of Bitcoin with Lightning & Liquid network to be adopted worldwide?

💥 Based on the last 6 months' data Stable coins despite their volume being extremely low accounts for 90% of the crypto market. See slide no 2 CoinShares weekly blogs via Medium states Bitcoin bore the brunt of the outflows which totalled US$21m last week & is the second consecutive week of outflows bringing month-to-date outflows to US$29m.

💯#Fact Bitcoin always wanted to be like Monero! Monero hard fork goes live! The people’s cryptocurrency is now more private and efficient with ring size 16, Bulletproof+, and view tags! Official news via Twitter https://bit.ly/3zWIdkb. Details of Monero Network hard forked can be seen here https://bit.ly/3dy6hT6. Despite its technical & privacy edge over Bitcoin. Monero is still not 100% private. Breaking Monero series on YouTube 3 years ago has some crucial information https://bit.ly/3Qq1bqp & these still haven’t been solved with the new hard fork

🚨 Question

  • Does privacy matter to an average person?

  • Does the average individual care about privacy?

  • What is the danger when privacy is combined with Immutability

  • Key difference between privacy vs anonymity?

📊 The market cap of #Ethereum little over 50% of #Bitcoin. Will this change as the merge date gets closer? See slide No 2 below as we track daily if #ETH Flips #BTC Cointelegraph has just reported that Ethereum hits 8-month highs in BTC as money heads for ‘riskier’ altcoins. Article here: https://bit.ly/3vZfwlF Finance Magnates a few days ago also confirmed that Ethereum 2.0 (Consensus Layer) Deposit Contract Approaches 13.3 Million ETH Article here https://bit.ly/3QNGKUp. You can also track it here via Etherscan https://bit.ly/3SKPj49. The Power of Opensource💪🏻. Over the last few weeks, Ethereum has remained the best-performing crypto asset among the top 10 in the last seven days.

❓Question:

  • What’s the highest dominance Ethereum has had in the past & when?

  • If & when Ethereum flips Bitcoin what difference does it make?

Messari has great historical data here https://bit.ly/3zVgW1M

😎 There’s also an excellent article by Arijit Sarkar that talks about the Top 5 misconceptions about the anticipated Ethereum upgrade. Worth a read https://bit.ly/3SMrbxU

🧐 The transition from Proof of Work to Proof of stake won’t be easy as few forks in opposition are already in place Bitcoin.com article states that the proposed Ethereum PoW Fork token lost half of Its market value in less than six days Article here https://bit.ly/3AiKpUH. Will Ethereumpow.org sustain itself in the long run?

😳 BlackRock is the investment giant & the world’s largest asset manager, with US$10 trillion in assets under management launched Bitcoin Private Trust. Official news via a blog post here https://bit.ly/3pjoQgk. The trust is available to U.S. Institutional clients and seeks to track the performance of bitcoin, less expenses and liabilities of the trust. Important to note is that BlackRock is encouraged that organizations such as RMI and Energy Web are developing programs to bring greater transparency to sustainable energy usage in bitcoin mining, and will follow progress around those initiatives.

✋🏻 Could it be possible that these giants could switch Bitcoin Proof of Work to Proof of mining? Historically, Bitcoin has had an allergic reaction to the council, associations & control points of failures. With giants such as Blackrock entering the Bitcoin space could they impost best practices, and guidelines & changes from POW to POS? Convincing a few people & offering a few incentives to people like President Nayiib Bukele Michael Saylor & Elon Musk could change the trajectory of the consensus mechanism

03rd Aug ❗ Free-for-all ❗” Your Keys, Not Your Crypto” Nomad token bridge (Hack or Exploit)

👀 CNBC reported that Hackers drained almost $200 million in cryptocurrency from Nomad, a tool that lets users swap tokens from one blockchain to another, in yet another attack highlighting weaknesses in the decentralized finance space. While it is unclear how the hack has taken place at this point in time, the article has a good explanation here https://cnb.cx/3vuqbV6. Official tweet here by the team https://bit.ly/3BEy9yO

SEC ➕ Vitalik Buterin 🆚 Ponzi schemes ➕ Michael Saylor Security Exchange Commission has charged 11 People in $300 million in a forage crypto pyramid and Ponzi Scheme. Official info here https://bit.ly/3oKjWJ8 11 individuals raised over $300 million from retail investors from around the world through the scheme. These schemes were purely carried out on Ethereum, Tron, and Binance blockchains. List of names in the article.

😯 In a Ponzi scheme, it’s usually the founders, early adopters are the ones who are benefitted the most. Does this resemble Bitcoin & some crypto projects too?

🙊 Michael Saylor, CEO of MicroStrategy the next Satish Kumbhani of Bitconnect Group? He has been posting a lot of incorrect & false statements via Twitter about Bitcoin & its use cases. While Bitcoin is No Ponzi but by tweeting incorrect & false information he is getting followers to buy Bitcoin & in doing so his own net value in Bitcoin increases.

💯 Game theory + Human Greed + Nature of Demand vs Supply (Fixed) is a tough problem to solve!

🤣 Vitalik Buterin has just mentioned via Twitter calling out scammers info here https://bit.ly/3zqWTYP & a few days ago another tweet addressing heroes that turn out to be total clowns? Clearly talking about Michael Saylor https://bit.ly/3SdlgSa

🚨 CBDC vs Bitcoin The European Central Bank has released a working paper series discussing the holy grail of cross-border payments. Focuses on 4 core areas ie 1) Immediate 2) Cheap 3) Universal reach 4) Settled in a secure settlement medium, such as central bank money As per the article, the solution may be in the next decade BUT we already have Bitcoin ie A Peer to Peer electronic cash system that is 1) Immediate, 2) Cheap, 3) Universal reach, & 4) Real-time settlement. It also eliminates the need for Central Bank Money. Interesting article here https://bit.ly/3bkyXOQ

🎙️ Blockchain DXB also has an event on the 26th of August called Central Bank Digital Currencies , The Basic, Threats to Freedom & Its role in the Metaverse While CBDC may not be ideal & no comparison to Bitcoin. It does make a perfect use case in the Metaverse. Check our website to find out CBDC vs Bitcoin info here https://bit.ly/3NR6ugQ

25th July 🐐 President Donald Trump (GOAT) “ A much bigger problem than a recession, We’ll have a depression”

🗣️ 45 has warned that the U.S. economy is facing “a much bigger problem than a recession “We’ll have a depression,” Full video via YouTube here https://bit.ly/3zxIQSx His talk at 3hr19 mins

❓ Where does Bitcoin & Blockchain Fit into this? ❓Time for Separation of Money & the state?

🚫 In Europe, the European Central Bank’s money printing has endangered the Eurozone Bitcoin Magazine has written an article that shares some crucial points - Created $4Trillion in 2 years - Increase in interest rate in July - Attack on cryptocurrency - Approach by Christine Lagarde

⛔While the article aims to explain why Bitcoin offers an alternative that separates money from the state, the article actually mentions 0 use cases on why Bitcoin is ideal. Another terrible article as it does not mention a single benefit of using bitcoin, instead just focuses on the negatives of fiat currency

💡 Check out Blockchain DXB suggestion on how Bitcoin with few changes would actually serve as a world reserve currency (Still WIP)

💥 CoinGeek has published an article on the US, and EU regulators discussing Mica, stablecoins and Bitcoin regulation at the meeting at the Joint Financial Regulatory Forum Official statement here by U.S. Department of the Treasury https://bit.ly/3cFPFbB

MiCA (Markets in Crypto Assets)is expected to “put an order in the Wild West of crypto assets and set clear rules for a harmonized market that will provide legal certainty for crypto asset issuers, guarantee equal rights for service providers and ensure high standards for consumers and investors.”

🚦 Regulations may be starting soon, in some contexts regulations may be a good thing as long as they protect investors & the general mass at the same time don’t stifle innovation - Are regulations needed for cryptocurrency? - Stablecoin issuers do they act like banks - Who should set regulations ? Crypto & technology developers Members of the congress

SEC 🆚 CFTC SEC 🆚 Coinbase employee (Insider trading)

👀 Caroline D. Pham Commissioner of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission released a statement that Security Exchange Commission allegations could have broad implications beyond this single case, underscoring how critical and urgent it is that regulators work together. This is in relation to three charged in the first-ever cryptocurrency insider trading tipping scheme. Official info released by the U.S. Department of Justice https://bit.ly/3cF7dV6

🚨We strongly recommend reading DOJ release first and then CFTC’s document to get an accurate assessment of what is going on

👀 Web3 = next ICO craze? ❗ Cointelegraph posted an article hew hours ago that shares info on how Web3 dominates venture capital interest in the blockchain industry in Q2 2022. The article also mentions despite a large slump in global markets Andreessen Horowitz closed a $4.5 billion crypto fund, and investment continued to flow into different sectors of the crypto industry. More info here https://bit.ly/3BfXpeP

❗ Christie’s the British auction house founded in 1766, launches Venture Fund & will fund emerging technologies and financial innovations relevant to art. They have successfully closed their first investment in LayerZero Labs. Info here https://bit.ly/3AYpCXb Christie’s Ventures will start by exploring three broad categories: Web3.0 innovation, art-related financial products and solutions and technologies that enable seamless consumption of art.

❗ Finance Magnates makes a very good attempt to explain what Web3 actually means. A decentralized version of the web, with a money layer, in which users take independent ownership of their own data and digital identity. Good info here https://bit.ly/3oaV6BE

🚫 Is Web3 another gimmick to lure VCs to invest? We at Blockchain DXB very strongly feel Block + Chain technology has a very limited use case using Cryptography + Hashing Algorithm + Mathematics + ZK proof. A 100% Distributed network is extremely hard to organically materialize. Game theory + Human Greed + Demand vs Supply is an extremely tough problem to solve.

❗ Jack Dorsey CEO of Square has a different and tbh more straightforward approach to Web5, not Web3 More info here https://bit.ly/3yTetEe.

JackDOrseyshas a different and to be honest more straightforward approach to Web5, not Web3 based on TBD website it says

Web 5 is a decentralized platform that provides a new identity layer for the web to enable decentralized apps and protocols.

The definition talks about how In the current web model, users do not own their data or identity. They are given accounts by companies and their data is held captive in app silos. To create a new class of decentralized apps and protocols that put individuals at the centre, we must empower them with self-owned identity and restore control over their data.

Jac Dorseys platform TBD embraces the convenience of Web 2 but it also returns control back to the users, an ethos of Web 3. The harmony of these two views is what we're calling Web 5.

The current focus is “ Decentralized Identity” TBD has Twitter Spaces with quite a lot of useful information. A panel discussion on Decentralized Identity a lot more here https://bit.ly/3PwrZEw The great thing is it is Open source and, where appropriate, built on open standards.

14th July 🚨 Bidenflation at 9.1% the largest 12-month increase since the period ending November 1981 Official info via Bureau of Labor Statistics here https://bit.ly/3tw2nzd . However, President Joe Biden feels that information is out of date & has set 4 priorities to tackle it . Official info via The White House here https://bit.ly/3AJFrks

💡Blockchain DXB suggesions on how Bitcoin could be a world reserve currency, it does include a fork, increasing supply, and reducing the price per #BTC. Still, currently work in progress here https://bit.ly/3I0E3f3

💥Separation of Money & the state will eventually happen & be a good thing for humanity, meanwhile, UNCTAD whose aim is prosperity for all has released a policy brief titled “All that glitters is not gold: The high cost of leaving cryptocurrencies unregulated” Article here https://bit.ly/3uMloxR is calling for Bitcoin ads to be banned & regulation for crypto wallets. They are also pushing for central bank digital currency & or fast retail payment systems. In honesty, the article does make some valid points, particularly about stablecoins.

🎙️Check out our podcast to get our detailed breakdown of this!

👿#Fakenews by Michael Saylor Michael Saylor CEO of MicroStrategy has been providing #fakenews & incorrect information regarding the fungibility of Bitcoin. He mentioned via Twitter that 1BTC = 1BTC. This is fake news. His Tweet here https://bit.ly/3AN0HWl. In the past, he has intentionally misled followers by saying Bitcoin has never had a single downtime.

😡Human Greed & lack of a Central entity in Bitcoin Blockchain can lead Multi Billionaires to lie to the general mass to create artificial Demand for Bitcoin! Since the Supply is fixed by creating demand the price would pump

👀Why would Michael Saylor do that? By doing so people would buy Bitcoin & in doing so Michael Saylor & MicroStrategy net’s worth in Bitcoin would increase

📊According to Google Trends, the term ‘Bitcoin Crash’ is trending. Info here https://bit.ly/3B3VVUT Cointelegraph has an interesting read that shares info on how #BTC has been written off as dead 458 times in the past. Kevin Owocki, founder of Gitcoin DAO has some interesting things to say & how he is focusing on the future of what Web3 can build and how those tools can provide solutions to global problems that humanity faces. More info here https://bit.ly/3aEHV99

✅While the crypto market is still facing the impact of Bidenflation NFT has had a better week Bitcoin.com has reported that NFT sales jump 10% higher than last week, Cryptopunk #4,464 sells for $2.6 million. More detailed info in the article here https://bit.ly/3PnhPWS It also mentions Cryptopunks collection as sales metrics recorded a whopping 545.36% increase during the past seven days!

13th July 🥶Crypto winter in summer🥵

In 2020 are stablecoins a safe haven for crypto winter? Not really! The 24-hour trading volume of stablecoins has been on a steady decline since the last month & still accounts for over 91% of total crypto market volume. Check slide No2 below for a detailed breakdown of this.

💡 Satoshi Nakamoto’s message: “The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks.” a hint to the original article by The Times here https://bit.ly/3PoaaHI the article talks about how Alistair Darling has been forced to consider a second bailout for banks as the lending drought worsens.

❗Fast forward to 2022 Crypto Multi Billionaires doing the very same thing?

  • Justin Sun, of BitTorrent, Inc. & Tron DAO is willing to spend $5 billion on helping the industry builders to continue building. More info here via DailyCoin here https://bit.ly/3aupuUI

  • Multi Billionaire & FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried has bailed out & in the process of bailing out a few companies such as BlockFi and Voyager. An interesting article https://reut.rs/3avIyBK.

  • Multibillionaire Changpeng Zhao, CEO of Binance has a different view on Bailouts though. He did criticize Alameda Research approach. An interesting podcast with Decrypt podcast gm from Decrypt (the episode is not published yet?) More info can be found here https://bit.ly/3RtwHVy

❓ Question: When it comes to money whom do we trust? - Billionaires - Early Adopters, Crypto Billionaires, Celebrities - Government - Hashing Algorithm, Mathematics, Cryptography (Bitcoin)

👀 Bitcoin may not offer a safe haven as it was initially intended to! Game theory, Human Greed & the nature of Demand vs Supply (ie Limited & fixed) is a problem that we may never be able to solve?

🔴 While Bitcoin & cryptocurrencies have not offered a safe haven in the Bidenflation era The U.S. Office of Financial Research an arm of the U.S. Department of the Treasury strongly feels a digital dollar could be good for financial stability. A working paper called Central Bank Digital Currency: Stability and Information was published yesterday. Article here https://bit.ly/3PjPaTb

🚨But could they provide a safe haven? And at what cost? Blockchain DXB had an event CBDC, THe Basics, Threat to Freedom & its role in the Metaverse last week. The slides & information can be found here https://bit.ly/3QgMGFO

🚫 While “fake crypto” such as CBDC does bank the unbanked there are more risks than advantages. Two developments to look out for in the world of CBDC - CBDC will introduce Zero-knowledge proof - Burning to reduce the Supply of CBDC to better manage Inflation

👀Stablecoins account for 91.32% of the total crypto market 24-hour volume

⛔Since the 1st quarter of 2022, the volume in terms of $ has been going down steadily, yet it still accounts for over 90% of the total crypto market

  • Tether.to USDT 24-hour trading volume has been going down 📉 $47.9B

💡Cointelegraph also has an article that states Circle’s USDC is on track to topple USDT as the top stablecoin in 2022. Info here https://bit.ly/3Rf7w9a

05th July ⛔ Meta pay IN ✅ Novi Wallet ❌OUT

Mark Zuckerberg in his Facebook post mentioned launching Meta’s digital wallet Meta Pay. His post here https://bit.ly/3uggh92.

🎙️We covered this on our “Metaverse Everything” podcast you can listen here

Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3y3Fapq iTunes: https://apple.co/3u4Iak7 Google: https://bit.ly/3ysvrL0

The Novi pilot is ending soon & users will no longer be available for use after September 1st https://www.novi.com/ the webpage states it clearly. Cointelegraph article here https://bit.ly/3yCKdPh also talks about its failed stablecoin project Diem was sold to Silvergate Bank Capital Corporation

🚨It would have banked billions of unbanked people at no cost. Isn’t that why Bitcoin was created in the 1st place?

💡Bitcoin is trustless. Instead, we rely on Cryptography, Hashing algorithms & Mathematics.

👀Not your keys, not your coins. Satoshi Nakamoto’s very end line of the Bitcoin Whitepaper read “…..t the main benefits are lost if a trusted third party is still required to prevent double-spending”. CeFi lender Vauld has just suspended “all withdrawals, trading and deposits.” Cointelegraph article claims Vauld boasted $1 billion assets under management in May this year More info on this here https://bit.ly/3bHzZUB A lot of info on this.

🗣️Statement by team here https://bit.ly/3P5T7ua It states that have engaged the services of Kroll Pte Limited as our financial advisor, as well as Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas and Rajah & Tann Asia Singapore LLP as legal advisors in India and Singapore respectively.

❗Russia ❗ Iran ❗India❗

💥Central Bank of the Russian Federation (Bank of Russia) is ready to legalize crypto mining if miners sell minted coins abroad. They would agree to the legalization of cryptocurrency mining, provided the proceeds from the activity are converted to fiat outside of Russia. Good move that would mean the Russian Ruble value is not affected & crypto value is also in place? Bitcoin.com has detailed info on this https://bit.ly/3IhoKhV

💥Iran a few years ago took a pretty much exactly oppositive stance. Central Bank of the Islamic Republic of Iran had prohibited the trading of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies mined outside the country, Bitcoin mined outside of Iran could have led to a bank account being closed Decrypt had few posts on this in 2021. Similar article here https://bit.ly/3bLAahN

💥India: Cryptocurrency traders to pay a 30% flat tax on all crypto-related income. The new crypto tax in India reduces trading volume by 63% in just four days Nomic data shows that the daily trading volume of Indian cryptocurrency exchange WazirX fell by more than 63%, & CoinDCX by 20%.

30th June Will Ethereum be Ultra Sound Money? 🚨Ethereum Gray Glacier on Block height no block 15,050,000.

🗣️Tim Beiko mentioned via Twitter, that the Block height may reach around 3 AM PT on June 30. Tweet here https://bit.ly/3a06jlo Can track it via Etherscan. Details of Gray Glacier Block on Ethereum Foundation blog here https://bit.ly/3Ov43Sb. confirms the difficult bomb would push back to 100 days.

🎙️Bankless podcast has an excellent session with Tim Beiko on the 9th of June where they discuss the updates on “The Merge”, what steps are left, how it works & obstacles to overcome. The interview is also on YouTube here https://bit.ly/3I1ciTg We highly recommend watching the interview with Vitalik Buterin called “Endgame” where they discuss the 5 stages ie The Merge, The Surge, The Verge, The Purge & The Splurge.

Coincu Financial Group INC article states with the Gray Glacier upgrade, Exchanges will temporarily suspend Ethereum and some ERC-20 services, including deposits and withdrawals. Info here https://bit.ly/3yu7Lpj

We at Blockchain DXB also have an event “Ethereum Beginners” Guide via Eventbrite on the 8th of July where we explore this in detail.

❓Few questions as Ethereum gets closer to its next phase ie Ethereum Consensus 1. Will Ethereum Flip Bitcoin? 2. Is Ethereum Ultrasound Money? 3. Is Ethereum a store of value or medium of exchange? 4. If Meta, Twitter, Google & YouTube had decided to ban #Bitcoin & talks about Bitcoin since 2010 & would have promoted Ethereum instead. Would Ethereum be the dominant cryptocurrency in the world? 5. Are smart contracts legal?

What we envision is a future like this - Bitcoin + NFT’s = Store of value - Ethereum + Competitors = Store of value + Medium of exchange - Central Bank Digital Currencies + Stable coins = Medium of exchange

👀Sky News has reported A British Virgin Islands court order liquidates multi-billion dollar crypto hedge fund Three Arrows Capital Limited. Article here https://bit.ly/3u8b2rS Mark Kleinman, the journalist reached out to 3AC for a comment about the court’s alleged liquidation order and the company did not respond.

⛔Multibillionaire Michael Saylor, CEO of MicroStrategy acquired additional 480 Bitcoins. Official info here https://bit.ly/3NxKyHb Microstrategy has now spent over $3.98 billion on Bitcoin and owns 129,699 digital coins, according to statements from Michael Saylor.

This is scary as the Accumulation of Bitcoin is among Billionaires, Multimillionaires & Early Adopters. When it comes to money accumulation is among the elite. Was Bitcoin created to rich get richer? Or does it offer an equal playing field? Final question

❓When it comes to Money & Bitcoin, whom do we trust? - Politicians - Billionaires, Multimillionaires & Early Adopters

29th June ⚫Tether.to USDT a Black Swan event for Cryptocurrencies?

🗣️ Paolo A. CTO at Tether and crypto exchange Bitfinex posted a series of very important Tweets https://bit.ly/3ysLSHe stating there are some attempts from some hedge funds that were trying to cause further panic on the market. Definitely, a must-read via Twitter. NEWSBTC article states that according to the rumours, hedge funds have been opening short positions on Tether (USDT) & and have been actively seeking to create panic in the crypto industry to affect the stablecoin. Article here https://bit.ly/3HY6LNm

👀But what’s going on with Stable Coins? Volume is incredibly low yet accounts for almost 90% of the total crypto market 24-hour volume. Tether.to USDT still accounts for $40.8B of all stable coin volumes ie $50.9B, Extremely low volume. Decrypt also shared an article here https://bit.ly/3npRnjk shows Tether’s market cap has dropped by 19% since the start of May, while Circle’s USDC has climbed by 5%. The 24-hour trading volume is still extremely low though. We have also noticed companies accepting cryptocurrency (USDT) have also recently switched to accepting USDC.

🎙️Check out our Blockchain DXB podcast for the 27th where we answered a question on why USDC volume was up since the last quarter of 2021 & if Tether USDT could be a Black Swan event for the entire crypto industry. Podcast links here

💡⚡All these scenarios make perfect situations for Central Banks across the world to denounce cryptocurrencies, and highlight risks associated with volatility & rug pulls such as Terra Luna. Does it create a perfect use case scenario & advertisement for entry of Central Bank Digital Currencies?

27th June 🔴Stable coins account for 87.20% of the total crypto market’s 24-hour volume. ⛔The 24-hour volume is down to $43.53 via CoinMarketCap 🤔The circulating supply of USDC is at $55.8B almost double since last year. 24 Trading volume is only at $3B 😱The Fear & Greed Index is still Extreme Fear at 14.

👀How does the 2nd half of the year perform? Changpeng Zhao, CEO of Binance is quite content with the current price of Bitcoin. In an interview with The Guardian, he said it may take a few months or a couple of years for #BTC to reach a new ATH While Bitcoin price predictions are 100% right 50% of the time, we strongly feel 1st quarter of 2025 ie six to eight months after the next halving of Bitcoin ie around May 2024 is when we may most likely see #Bitcoin reaching a new ATH. Hopefully, by then Geopolitical situation also changes & USA has the possibility of #Trump2024?

💥Lebanon Inflation 211% — Could Bitcoin be a better solution?

Inflation numbers are extremely daunting & will continue till 2023? The National News article last week said Lebanon’s runaway inflation reaches 211% in May. Article here https://bit.ly/3u4kPz3 Lack of political stability is unable to provide loan of $3 billion from the International Monetary Fund to resuscitate its economy.

Mashable has reported that El Salvador has lost half its investment in Bitcoin. Article here https://bit.ly/39Uu1zj The price per #BTC is down to less than 1/3rd of its all-time high. Maybe over the long term, El Salvador adopting Bitcoin as legal tender could prove to be beneficial to the country and to its citizens?

📛BlockFi mentioned via Twitter they are increasing rates for BTC, ETH, USDC, GUSD, PAX, BUSD, and USDT in the BlockFi Interest Account (BIA) Tweet here https://bit.ly/3QLNaEa Reasons for the increase are

1) Effective risk management 2) Decreasing market competition 3) Changing macro yield environment

⚡🎓Word of caution & reminder the very second line of the Bitcoin white paper reads…… the main benefits are lost if a trusted third party is still required to prevent double-spending. Depositing #BTC to earn interest may seem attractive but could be extremely risky!

Yesterday CoinDesk published an article that claims Morgan Creek Capital Management, LLC is trying to counter FTX’s BlockFi bailout, of a $250 credit facility offered. Article here https://bit.ly/3bujYRM

23rd June ⛔Inflation + Recession + Stagflation + Deglobalization + New World Order

Inflation Numbers 📛 US — 8.6% highest in 40 years 📛 UK — 9.1% highest in 40 years 📛UAE — 7.5% expected in 2022

💡Ray Dalio has put up an excellent article via LinkedIn called Reducing inflation will come at a great cost: Stagflation article here https://bit.ly/3OeUCpK He talks about how important it is to raise productivity and central banks are currently not doing that. Excellent examples of bull and bear markets), expansions and recessions. Also explains how debts have been increasing relative to incomes at the same time.

What is Stagflation? Simply put, stagflation or recession-inflation is a situation in which the inflation rate is high as in the current case. #Bidenflation is definitely upon us. The root cause of it is Money Printing by the Democrats?

Because of Covid 19 & Russia / Ukraine situation, the economic growth rate slows has slowed down, and unemployment remains steadily high. Despite attempts to change the definition of Unemployment by the current administration. Currently, stagflation in the USA presents a dilemma for economic policy, since actions intended to lower inflation may exacerbate unemployment. A strong political leader is what the USA & the world needs #trump2024?

👀 Where does Bitcoin fit into all this? Well maybe if Bitcoin was created centuries ago we may have not been in a similar situation? — Not True. Check out Blockchain DXB’s suggestion here https://bit.ly/3I0E3f3 on how Bitcoin as an alternate form of money in existence to Fiat currency could maybe ease the current financial crisis? (Still an idea stage & work in progress) . Check our events on #CBDC & #Metaverse below

🚨Nouriel Roubini “Dr. Doom” chief economist from Atlas Capital Team L.P. has a great interview with Bloomberg LP where he talks about US Economy ‘Getting Very Close’ to Recession. YouTube it here https://bit.ly/3zVW240 He reiterated his stance on crypto & the value is 0. He could be, right? Over $2Trillion has been wiped off the crypto market.

22nd June 🚨Central Bank Digital Currencies NOT Crypto

⛔Bank for International Settlements — BIS says CBDCs, Not Crypto, will be the cornerstone of the Future Monetary System. They have released a special chapter in the Annual Economic Report 2022 that u can download here https://bit.ly/3tP8sHb that talks about the future monetary system A comparison between the Current monetary system vs Crypto Monetary system vs Future Monetary system (CBDC) is explained, They also talk about “The promise and pitfalls of crypto” taking a jab at the implosion of the TerraUSD, stablecoin and its twin coin Luna & a lot more

We at Blockchain DXB also have an event called “Central Bank Digital Currencies: The Basics, Threats to Freedom & Metaverse” via Eventbrite on the 8th of July. Registration https://bit.ly/3OaWdwQ

Stable coins do account for over 85% of 24 hours trading volume. Lately, the adoption of USDC has been growing a lot. Few metrics to share

💡Circulating Supply — 67.4 B Tether.to USDT 💡Circulating Supply — 55.8B USDC Circle/ Coinbase

24-hour trading volume 87.37% of the total crypto market 24-hour volume via CoinMarketCap

❗$50.3B USDT ❗$4.9 B USDC

👀With over 87% of the cryptocurrency volume taking place in stable coins & the implosion of TerraUSD, it does become increasingly important to safeguard the interest of the people?

👀Security Exchange Commission chair Gary Gensler has once again warned the public about crypto investments that seem “too good to be true.” He definitely seems right He also mentioned lending platforms are operating a little like banks More info on this via Bitcoin.com here https://bit.ly/3HN4yo4 You may not like what he is saying but he is speaking #facts The U.S. Department of the Treasury has called an urgent need for regulatory frameworks that mitigate the risks posed by digital assets. Regulations are great to protect investors & safeguard communities’ interests as a whole. As long as it does not stifle innovation, regulations are ideal. But Bitcoin was created precisely for this very reason? A movement toward separation of Money & the state! A peer-to-peer electronic cash system. It may take over a decade, maybe a few for the separation of Money & the state

💥Alex Bornyakov The Deputy Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine on IT industry development, Head of the Diia City project published via Twitter that #CryptoPunk #5364 has been sold for 90 ETH. It’s over $100K. A few months ago this NFT was donated to Aid for Ukraine News https://bit.ly/3OsU0MP In March he also tweeted on ways to help Ukraine with crypto, detailed & official info on this here https://bit.ly/3zQlRT0. The community has already raised more than $60 million, a detailed breakdown & how the fund will be used are on the link & also below is a summary

BTC= 482 +

21st June! 👀 Bitcoin Investors Lose Record $7.3 Billion in Three Days! These are realized losses :-( Decrypt’s article confirms selloffs from Thursday to Saturday! Article here https://bit.ly/3bgFv0b

🙈Crypto price predictions are 100% right, 50% of the time! Game Theory + Human Greed + Demand vs Supply (fixed) may never have a solution! Unless an autocratic approach is taken? We live in a world where having loads of information is not important. Having information from 1st source is — 18181. Still relying on info from YouTube, TikTok &Twitter “price” influencers?

❗Game Theory: How do we the collective mass react to price when it goes up or down ❗Human Greed: Billionaire accumulating more #BTC ❗Demand vs Supply: Pump the demand so existing net worth in Bitcoin increases (Billionaires & early adopters)

💡Why was Bitcoin created & what did it want to solve? The separation of Money & the state will eventually happen. In the meantime, questions to ponder

🚨Whom are u willing to trust when it comes to Bitcoin? 1) Billionaire & Early Adopters ( who have accumulated over 90% of Bitcoins supply) 2) Politicians ( who can make or break Bitcoin)

⛔An Autocratic approach may be ideal for Bitcoin adoption in its purity (Not ideal but necessary) Currently over 19,940 different types of Cryptocurrencies are we in the direction which leads to the Separation of Money & the state?

🤔Celsius Recovery Plan Simon Dixon #BTC OG, CEO & Co-Founder of BnkToTheFuture.com has suggested a Celsius Recovery Plan & strongly believes traditional finance will not have a timely solution for Celsius. A plan, similar to Bitfinex will involve creating security tokens, debt and equity and give investors a very high return for the high risk they took. Simple as that. Info here https://bit.ly/3O8UbgG If that plan fails can repeat the same process?

💥Too big to ignore 2020 seems a terrible year for the crypto community. The promise of the Metaverse is really McKinsey & Company has published a report last week titled “Value creation in the metaverse.” & claim the Metaverse Could Generate $5 Trillion by 2030. Download the article here https://mck.co/3zQNg7s Check more info on this on our weekly “Metaverse Everything” podcast & blog by Blockchain DXB here https://bit.ly/3xcRCTi Where does Bitcoin fit in the Metaverse? Lightning Network would be a perfect use case in the Metaverse, A peer-to-peer electronic cash system with near-instant real-time settlement could be a perfect match in the Metaverse.

While the market is uncertain & Inflation + Recession is on its way. It is extremely important for Bitcoin to offer a safe haven, a hedge. If it does not the whole purpose of creating Bitcoin is purposeless

🔴The Bitcoin Fear & Greed index is currently at 9 (Extreme Fear)

💡Where does Bitcoin fit into this?

Celsius Network could be next? Ben Armstrong host of BitBoy Crypto has threatened a class-action lawsuit against Celsius. More info via his Twitter account here https://bit.ly/3tAb5wb.

⚒️Bitcoin Mining hashrate broke a new all-time high — Terrible situation. Having security is great but too much security is pointless!

14th June 👀#HODL Global crypto market cap below $1Trillion 💥Celsius has paused withdrawals 😱Binance pauses withdrawals

Bitcoin is supposed to be a hedge against inflation? Human Greed + Game Theory + Manipulation of Demand vs Supply & accumulation of Bitcoin by early adopters, Billionaires, Millionaires, Celebrities) How could Bitcoin be a world reserve currency & hedge against inflation if the accumulation of Bitcoin is among the elite few? Funds have been liquidated; funds have been lost. Damage has been done. It could be possible in the near future price of #BTC & other #cryptocurrencies rise again but it just means that #Bitcoin is not working out for what it was originally created for.

Separation of Money & the state will take place. Bitcoin should have been in a dominant position now for the fruition of the movement.

👎🏻2nd: https://bit.ly/3Obms5L U.S. dollar has been rapidly inflating against bitcoin, with extremely weak explanations & a lot of name-callings also talking about Bitcoin as savings technology & not an investment. No explanation on what constitutes inflation & how Bitcoin could serve as a hedge against inflation.

09th June! 🚨Stable Coins dominate the cryptocurrency market!

😱Over 87% of the 24-hour trading volume is by Stable Coins. Could this set the stage for CBDC & make it easier to transition from one of the traditional forms of exchange ie Cash to Digital? CBDC & Stable coins with Smart Contract functionality & easier user onboard could threaten Bitcoin, Opensource & Freedom? The Bank for International Settlements — BIS has released a new bulletin: Blockchain scalability and the fragmentation of crypto that has some really interesting takes & most likely CBDC is on its way, sooner than anticipated. Report here https://bit.ly/3tsXarR Some interesting points such as benefits vs drawbacks of Permissionless Blockchain, Newer Blockchain that has higher capacity, how they compromise on centralisation, Lack of Scalability, Interoperability & more in the report by Frederic Boissay, Giulio Cornelli, CFA, FRM, Sebastian Doerr & Jon Frost

🔵The New York State Department of Financial Services has also just released new guidance for dollar-backed Stable coins. Official info here https://on.ny.gov/3H9I7cq This is definitely a good move & protects users of stable coins & investors. A few key points are 1) Backing and Redeemability 2) Reserve Requirements & 3) Independent Audits

We envision a future like this: ⚡Bitcoin = Store of value ⚡Ethereum = Store of value + Medium of Exchange ⚡Blockchain Protocols = Medium of Exchange for Smart Contracts ⚡Stable Coins + CDBC = Medium of Exchange

💥Checkout.com has also revealed that merchants can now accept payments in USDC. Looks like Cryptocurrency is definitely going mainstream. Article by Bitcoin.com here https://bit.ly/3aPRa69 Checkout.com’s new stablecoin settlement service is through a partnership with the firm Fireblocks, & the 24/7/365 fiat to stablecoin settlement solution is done by Transak. They have posted this via Twitter here https://bit.ly/3aQPPMo & blog confirming this is here https://bit.ly/3NUcmGm

Great move for sure & allows customers with alternate payment options but, it does introduce a central entity. The very 2nd line of the Bitcoin white paper mentions that …. the main benefits are lost if a trusted third party is still required to prevent double-spending. Would have been ideal if the transactions are Peer to Peer (no middle person involved in any form)

💥Circle has just announced that stable coin USDC is now supported by Polygon Network. Circle CEO and co-founder Jeremy Allaire announced the news via Twitter & blog giving full details can be seen here https://bit.ly/3H4kNN3. This would mean that businesses can now easily accept payments from one of the largest user bases in Web3, easily make payouts in Polygon USDC, or off-ramp to fiat currency as desired. Great stuff

🔴🔵Bitcoin: Right Wing/ Left Wing or is Bitcoin Apolitical?

In theory, Bitcoin should be Apolitical but in reality, it is far different? Right-wing politicians & Republicans are generally in favour of Bitcoin, Opensource & Freedom. Forbes has just released an article that states Republican +Democratic Senators release Bitcoin bill that would bridge crypto& traditional finance. Info here https://bit.ly/3aBuqXd

🔴🔵Responsible Financial Innovation Act by U.S. Senators 9D) Kirsten Gillibrand & (R) Cynthia Lummis. A detailed breakdown & Section-by-Section Overview can be found here https://bit.ly/3mpyooA The idea is to redefine the U.S. government’s relationship with bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin Magazine has an article here to https://bit.ly/3xrSAMR

Is this a good idea? or should let the growth & adoption of Bitcoin be organic & the governments should just leave it free. The separation of Money & the state will eventually happen. Will Bitcoin lead the way or an altcoin dominates the crypto sector in coming decades?

07th June 💡2nd Line of Bitcoin white paper…….. the main benefits are lost if a trusted third party is still required to prevent double-spending.

✋🏻Basic but so critical, yet many “Blockchain” start-ups fail to appreciate & realize the power of a fully distributed system. A peer-to-peer electronic cash system!

💥Centralized Blockchain such as Solana can easily switch off their systems. The same is applicable for Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC) maybe even more ie track your transactions, close bank accounts, confiscate & more. Atlantic Council has released a CBDC tracker that shows over 105 countries are exploring. Info here https://bit.ly/3MpC58p Bitcoin.com article states that Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Deputy Governor T. Rabi Sankar says CBDCB could kill cryptocurrencies article here https://bit.ly/3NR6ugQ . Check out the session by Blockchain DXB where we discuss Central Bank Digital Currencies: The Basics, Threats to Freedom & Metaverse.

😱Failed experiment: Legal Tender In El Salvador, a recent survey https://bit.ly/3Msv4Ui by the University Institute of Public Opinion of the José Simeón Cañas Central American University found that more Than 70% of citizens believe the Bitcoin Law has not improved their personal finances. Should they have implemented stable coins instead?

⚡NFT hype over? Cryptoslam.io reveals that NFT sales have dropped 65.43% since last month Google queries are also on a downtrend & data indicates that interest in NFTs has dropped to the lowest point since the first week of October 2021 Bitcoin.com has a brilliant & detailed breakdown of this here https://bit.ly/3mhEM19 The trend in #Btc, #blockchain, #cryptocurrency world is as below

2008: Bitcoin is a scam 2013: Internet Money 2015: Blockchain NOT Bitcoin 2017: ICO ( Initial Coin Offering) 2019: DeFi 2020: NFT 2021: NFT + Metaverse (last quarter thanks to Meta) 2022: Metaverse + CBDC

⚒️Technical Market Info Glassnode report indicates a stressful situation for #BTC miners & #Hodlers as investors are now holding unrealized losses. - Mining Difficulty 🔺 - Miner Revenue 🔻 The report also talks about long-term holders facing losses Cumulative Realized Loss & more here https://bit.ly/3xnv4ka

CoinShares blog on Medium confirms that Inflows totalled US$100m last week, with investors focussing on Bitcoin. Could these mean bullish times ahead? Probably the 2nd half of 2022 is more positive for Bitcoin? Ethereum (AKA 1st world computer)continues to suffer from outflows totalling US$32m .9 straight weeks of outflows. Blog here https://bit.ly/3asJ5Eb

⛔It’s critical to understand the fundamentals & technical analysis. Don’t Trust Very as some key people also provide misleading information! Bitcoin price predictions are 100% right, 50% of the time.

06th June 💡Is Bitcoin Modernizing or Americanizing?

💥Bitcoin price predictions are 100% right, 50% of the time. Maybe it’s time to revisit a brilliant article written back in 2002 by Yoichi Shimemura called “Globalization vs. Americanization” & compare it with Bitcoin as Bitcoin has become the most important economic, political, & cultural phenomenon of our time. Article here https://bit.ly/3GZBSI4 With Deglobalization set as the next agenda where & how does Bitcoin fit in the New World Order? Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen of U.S. Department of the Treasury admitted last week that she had failed to anticipate how long high inflation would continue. She told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer on “The Situation Room” Article here https://cnn.it/3PZInhX

🙄#Bitcoinfixesthis is a narrative pushed by Bitcoin Maximalists without giving any concrete reasoning & explanation. The only explanation is Bitcoins supply is fixed! Where does Bitcoin fit in with Inflation, Deglobalization & New World Order? Currently, bitcoin is on track to record 10 consecutive weeks of losses for the first time! Demand vs Supply (Fixed) + Game Theory + Human Greed = Price Volatility.

CoinDesk published an article “Bitcoin Might, in Fact, Be the Great ‘Equalizer’ https://bit.ly/3tgIY56 that takes into consideration a global survey by BLOCK. Quite a misleading report for instance it states Nigeria finds it more appealing to use Bitcoin, while this may seem true but basic common sense will tell us average citizen in Nigeria cannot afford to buy or send funds using Bitcoin Report here https://bit.ly/3x7sVYw The report is written with a woke mentality and mentioned the gender gap is more pronounced in America but less male-dominated when looking at the rest of the world.

Meanwhile all crypto price influencers via YouTube, Instagram TikTok are preaching two things 😆

👎🏻 #BTC price is Low = Buy Bitcoin now it’s on Discount 👍🏻 #BTC price if High- = Buy Bitcoin now it’s only going to go higher

🚨24-hour volume of stable coins is $38.01B (Side no 2 below)

Where does Blockchain & Cryptocurrency fit into the Metaverse? Can Metaverse function much better with Centralized systems such as Meta as it offers Easy user onboard & interface, better infrastructure. Or will there be a new market leader? Blockchain technology may have its hype but the user experience will be no match to a centralized system, It will be expensive & time-consuming as Scalability issues still exist in the crypto & blockchain world. Despite it being over a decade old technology was created by Satoshi Nakamoto. Metaverse combined with promises of Neuralink could change the current & future of humanity. How will Artificial intelligence play a role in the Metaverse? Area2071 will be the centre stage of Metaverse?

22nd Sept Question: Bitcoin’s supply “cannot” be changed or “will not” be changed? 🤔
