The Daily Spin. First Friday Edition. Wow, what a first week it has been for the world of crypto. As with 2022, we’ve managed to keep the attention of the public eye through extreme lows and extreme highs. As a matter of fact, keeping the interest of the public may actually contribute to the price of Bitcoin holding quite steady – as people look to see what’s going to happen next. But in this first week of the year, whether the bottom is officially in or not; some very interesting market behaviors are flashing right this very moment, with the decoupling of crypto prices and stock market prices. To be even more precise, crypto companies are being propped up; while at the same time, their syndicated equities markets are dropping in share price. Greyscale, DCG, Silvergate to name a few… there’s so much happening in the space right now, I’m going to reduce today’s summary to one-word sentences and get on with the actual news.
Silvergate. 3AC. Liquidations. DCG. Gemini. Chapter 11. Subpoenas. Mashinsky. Justin. Tron. USDD. Huobi. Blackrock. Goldman. CoreScientific. Ant. FTX. Congress. Solana. BONK. NFT. Mutants. Rug. CoinDeal. Dubai. SEC. ECB. CBDC. China. Quantum. Shopify. AVAX. UTXO. Bitcoin. Falling. Wedge. Unpack. That…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…
