The Daily Spin. 200th Issue Tuesday Edition. Welcome back to the Daily Spin, as we look forward to what I believe will be a landmark year for many people and many things… 2023 will see even more change, disruption, and controversial investigations occur alongside some of the greatest advancements in science & technology. The first cohort of millennials will finally be graduating from universities around the world. Will they be cannon fodder?

The other thing that tends to impact the world in weird and unwanted ways, is the inevitable run-up to the 2024 US presidential elections.

SBF to plead “not guilty” and will face the full sentence of his crimes from a luxury minimum-security prison in the Oakland area. Bahamas tells SBF to surrender $300m. DCG is given until the 8th to resolve Gemini Earn issues. XRP whales are sighted moving hundreds of millions of tokens, again. Justin Sun denies Huobi layoffs, and starts playing the cards for USDT. Solana starts the year with a 14% bang. Lido’s 17% jump now has the highest TVL in a DeFi protocol. Ethereum did 338% more transactions than Bitcoin over 2022. A lot of token unlocks will be happening in this month, with approx. $169 million worth on schedule to be released into the open market. Silvergate gets hit with a class-action, Binance acquires a smaller exchange, Musk tops the insider dumps list for the year. Then, we’ve got Bankless, Vitalik on BAYC, Miles Deutscher on Alameda, and much more – all packed into our first issue of the Daily Spin to kick off the year …here is our round-up of curated news and opinions (surely biased) from the world of Blockchain, keeping you informed now after the holiday season with the most trending, in-the-know, and controversial topics. In the name of transparent, dissemination of information to keep you curious, inspired, and clinically sane…
