Yesterday was something of a false dawn for Bitcoin as it seemed to move with confidence to $67,000 before falling to one-month lows below $65,000 within hours. Nevertheless, things aren’t looking as bleak as you might think, particularly for NFTs on Bitcoin, which are performing impressively. Elsewhere, zkSync’s airdrop continues to come under fire, with a mixed-bag token launch, FTX victims are all trying to get their hands on the defunct exchange’s assets, and a Solana sandwich bot makes $...

After a warzone week, it’s time to get the lay of the land and find out what the analysts are saying about Bitcoin; will it continue to slide back toward a sub-$60,000 price, or is the market consolidating before another attack on $70,000? Outside of Bitcoin, the U.S. SEC has shot down Ripple’s latest court argument, Donald Trump continues to make crypto a key part of his election campaign, and crypto startup funding reaches a record high. Carve out just 15 minutes from your day for all this ...

In today’s news, Donald Trump reiterates his support for the Bitcoin mining industry after hosting a meeting with several executives from United States crypto mining firms. Meanwhile, Elon Musk has moved to withdraw his lawsuit against OpenAI and its CEO, Sam Altman — which accused the artificial intelligence firm of deviating from its original mission to develop AI to benefit humanity, not for profit. We’ll also unpack Raoul Pal’s claims that around two-thirds of the net inflows into spot Bi...

Next, we’ll talk about Friend.tech announcing its blockchain network and Binance hitting 200 million users. And in other news, the Arbitrum Foundation has allocated $215 million to boost game development on its blockchain, and Bakkt — the crypto platform by NYSE’s parent company — may be sold or broken up due to financial struggles.Fu...

We have a big selection of stories for you to get you ready for the weekend.

Today’s episode must be one of the busiest of the year so far, with things heating up across the board and not just in terms of prices. In today’s episode, we bring you the latest news and analysis on Bitcoin and Ethereum, a look at Coinbase’s new smart wallet, and one of the most interesting stories of the year so far: the tokenization of a $9 million violin, which was then used as collateral for a loan.Further reading:Bitcoin price at $72K is the ‘fuse’ to reach new ATH — AnalystFranklin Te...

Bitcoin has seen another solid 24 hours as its price blasted through the $70,000 threshold, and it’s clear to see why, as U.S.-based spot Bitcoin ETFs see their second-best day of inflows ever — but that’s not the only reason. In other news, a flagship partnership is struck between Deutsche Bank and Bitpanda for real-time crypto payments, and a glitch on the NYSE caused Berkshire Hathaway stock to show as being down 99%, which is true if you set it against Bitcoin since 2015!Further reading:B...

When the shortlist of analysts share their observations — whether bullish or bearish — as long as there’s a trend, we bring it to you. Nobody wants to start their day with bearish news, but sometimes it’s necessary. Fortunately, today, it’s wall-to-wall with bulls. After that hype train, we’ll deliver some tonic in the form of a more than $1 million crypto hack that used a Chrome plugin to steal cookies before capping off with the wild ascent of Notcoin.Further reading:Bitcoin transaction val...

Despite senators writing to him, U.S. banking organizations lobbying him, and key players in the industry pleading with him, President Joe Biden vetoed the resolution to repeal SAB 121 anyway. So, where do we go from here? Meanwhile, Coinbase slams the SEC for “choking” the crypto industry, the U.S. Navy launches a blockchain security system, and we go through why Nigeria — in spite of the government’s resistance to crypto — could be one of the most important countries for the industry.Furthe...

I have neglected Bitcoin lately as it's been quiet, but yesterday’s insights from analyst Marcel Pechman proved to be the first of a few interesting observations. To start today’s episode, I will review the work of other analysts who give us a rough roadmap of what’s to come for BTC and what we need to see that breakout happen. Then, we’re going to tour the rest of the biggest stories in the industry in the past 24 hours, from Terraform and Do Kwon seemingly reaching a settlement to more meme...

Bitcoin and Ethereum prices might be a little dull in these past few days, but there's plenty to suggest that's about to change. So, to start today's episode, I got an analyst on the show to discuss why $70K could come someday soon. Then, we'll look at an eclectic mix of stories from all corners of crypto, from the law and government, to the legit and the... not-so legit. You'll want to carve yourself out 15 minutes for this.Further reading:Bitcoin futures open interest reaches a 16-month hig...

There is a veritable feast of stories for you today, from BlackRock flipping Grayscale on BTC holdings, to the SEC being ordered to pay $1.8M in fees from the Debt Box case dismissal. Then I'll take a look at the current state of play of memecoins, which, like them or loathe them, is dominant. The top memecoins are surging up the crypto charts by various metrics, and one recent rocket is the ChatGPT "joke" from April 2023 which has seen over 2,000% chains in the past 90 days!Further reading:B...

That was a tumultuous 24 hours in crypto! We saw a sizeable rally across the board yesterday, with Ethereum rising as much as 3.5% on the day and narrowly missing the $4,000 milestone. But then, as quickly as it had risen, Bitcoin took a 2% haircut as Mt. Gox wallets moved a staggering $9.6B of Bitcoin to an unknown wallet! And while we're tracing wallets, ZachXBT releases his latest investigation that connects the GCR hack with the team behind the viral $CAT memecoin.Further reading:Ethereum...

In some ways, that was a quiet, unassuming weekend; Bitcoin and Ethereum were both relatively stable, price-wise, and there weren't a great deal of interesting stories unfolding. But, outside of those two, it has been one of the strangest weekends on record. Donald Trump has doubled down on endearing himself to crypto voters, and then doubled down again, the Aptos blockchain hits absurd daily transactions amidst a viral "game", and Caitlyn Jenner launches her own memecoin. Or was it a deep fa...

There we have it: from near-certain denial just a week ago, the U.S. SEC has officially approved the 19b-4 filings for the spot Ether ETFs, giving the green light for them to begin trading. This unexpected news impacts crypto not just because Ether is confirmed to not be a security, with some heavy inflows expected, but also because many other tokens are now tacitly confirmed to not be securities. And yet, with all these reasons to be jubilant, the price of ETH is down. Let’s discuss why that...

Today’s the day. In a matter of hours, we will find out whether VanEck’s spot Ether ETF application — the first through the door — will be approved or denied by the U.S. SEC. Fortunately, we have many indicators of the outcome, and we’ll take you through all the important ones. Elsewhere, but still in the U.S., the FIT21 crypto bill finds opposition from President Joe Biden and SEC Chair Gary Gensler, but it easily passes through the House of Representatives. For all this and much more, tune ...

The rumors that the U.S. SEC may be doing a 180 on the expected denial of spot Ether ETF applications have grown credible over the past 24 hours. At least five ETF applicants have amended their filings (with several making the same change), and the SEC has contacted exchanges looking to list the ETFs. This has spurred gains of over 20% for Ethereum in 48 hours, but other altcoins have slipstreamed their way up the charts too.Further reading:4 reasons why Bitcoin was (and still is) a buy below...

What a 24 hours it’s been! Out of nowhere, the market started pumping, and Bitcoin rocketed north of $70,000. Ethereum’s pump made those gains look tame, and a good portion of the reason is centered on the U.S. SEC’s looming decision on whether to approve spot Ether ETFs in the United States. In today’s episode, we discuss what has changed, how crazy the last day has been for BTC, the Grayscale CEO stepping down, and the New York Attorney General’s $2 billion settlement with Genesis.Further r...

Bitcoin enjoyed a strong weekly close, and most analysts are feeling positive about the week ahead — and for good reason, with several bullish metrics on the charts. The bullish signs are not confined to Bitcoin either, with Solana having an unusual indicator after the success of the Phantom Wallet. However, despite the green charts, the conviction of a Tornado Cash developer sets a terrifying precedent for crypto, technology and developers.Further reading:ETFs buy 3X new BTC supply — 5 Thing...

Bitcoin has enjoyed a positive 24 hours, with a huge spike in volume for U.S.-based spot Bitcoin ETFs not seen since the cryptocurrency’s all-time high in March. However, BTC is consolidating, and analysts explain why the longer it goes on, the more fuel the rocket has when Bitcoin breaks out! Meanwhile, the U.S. Senate voted to squash the controversial SEC rule on banks interacting with crypto, but will President Joe Biden veto it? Carve just 15 minutes out of your day to get up to speed on ...

The analysts called it: we got the U.S. Consumer Price Index volatility. Bitcoin’s price spiked, but many of the same analysts remain cautious about this price rise due to one overarching metric. Elsewhere, Mastercard launches a startup program for blockchain companies, and we speak to the CEO of one of the five companies selected. Chinese police busted a $1.9 billion USDT underground banking racket, and one trader turned $3,000 into $46 million!Further reading:Bitcoin price taps $64.7K as US...
