The Daily Spin. F&cking Friday Edition. BTC takes a nosedive under $20k support, ETH gets alleged to be a security in a lawsuit against KuCoin, Voyager continues dumping its cryptoassets for USDC. Hundreds of millions are liquidated from the crypto market, Houbi’s exchange token flash crashes for 90%, and Bitcoin whales are withdrawing large sums of money from Bithumb and Binance... what a lovely end to the week, looked hard for some decent content but just overall - yuck.
Hedera Hashgraph has halted its blockchain due to an ongoing exploit. Bitcoin mempool is bloated, number of waiting transactions is reaching new highs. Ethereum Foundation makes new Goerli Shapella announcement, delays Shanghai upgrade and staked ETH withdrawals. Blockchain.com announces it is shutting down its asset management division, retail users should not be affected. ETH NFT gas spending has bottomed to near two-year lows, indicating the shift in demand towards Layer 2s and Bitcoin Inscriptions/Ordinals. And despite all the bad news and rampant FUD, Binance’s market share grew from 59% to 62% during Q1. Safu.
Coinbase announces Wallet-as-a-Service, almost in direct competition with Coinweb’s Multi-tenancy Wallet solution but just not as cool. Jur launches startup society founder’s award to boost web3 projects. Starbucks Odyssey releases its first limited edition NFT, “The Siren Collection.” And the infamous r/Cryptocurrency subreddit launches MOON token pool on SushiSwap.
Biden proposes to reduce the budget deficit by introducing an energy tax for crypto miners, meanwhile the Republican majority whip Tom Emmet voices his concerns that CBDCs could be weaponized as a political tool. NFTs continue its battle for regulatory classification. Sydney becomes a hotspot for crypto traders.
In TL, we have a bird’s eye view of the Ethereum Shanghai upgrade and its possible aftermath effects. Two entries discussing the Silvergate Capital collapse, a podcast of sci-fi writer and creator of the term “Metaverse” gives his opinions on games, movies, interoperability and blockchain. Last but not least, Bankless summarizes everything that happened at the ETHDenver conference this year, always considered to be the landmark low-key event – and often more consequential than international-scale events such as the upcoming Consensus 2023… here is our round-up of curated news and opinions (surely biased) from the world of Blockchain, keeping you informed into the market news 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…
