The Daily Spin. Weird Wednesday Edition. The two major headlines that are currently front and center at the moment are yesterday’s US CPI Inflation Data pumping BTC over $26k, and of course, ongoing coverage of the Silicon Valley Bank collapse. Interesting reads revolving around this topic are Forbes’ coverage of banking execs aggressively buying their own stocks after the nominal loss of value, controversy surrounding Signature Bank’s closure, and even mounting suspicion that the banking collapse is a ploy for the government to release the CBDC narrative. It was noted that there was an effort by mainstream media to try to blame the collapse on crypto, with a Bloomberg article caught red-handed before the NY authorities came out to deny crypto’s involvement in the cascading implosion of the fractional reserve system and the effect on the balance sheet that rapidly rising interest rates had on the financial sector.

The EU Parliament passed a bill called the Data Act, with legality covering smart contract regulations. Shiba Inu briefly took the coveted “most traded” coin spot, right before Bitcoin mooned 20% immediately following the CPI print. Fantom completed a successful mainnet upgrade, and KYVE launched its mainnet on Pi day; while Pi Network was crickets to the disappointment of its community. China’s NFT-related complaints surge over 30,000% in 2022. And the “Inverse Kramer” ETF outperformed the S&P500 during its first week of trading. How embarrassing…
