Crypto ETFs are back in the news as Hong Kong approves spot Bitcoin and Ether ETFs to start trading on April 30. On the other hand, BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF saw zero inflows for the first time since it launched. Elsewhere, the wild OneCoin story continues to unfold, Nigeria’s central bank has to deny a heavy-handed directive, and Hedera’s token pumps and then dips as an announcement about BlackRock is misinterpreted, with drama ensuing.

This is another one of those days where Bitcoin price stagnation is not remotely indicative of how interesting the past 24 hours have been! On the Bitcoin front, Fidelity Digital Assets no longer considers it “cheap.” Still, we’re reminded that BTC’s major price gains are typically at the tail-end of a bull cycle, and we’re somewhere near the start. Bitcoin’s fees crashed back to earth after the halving, not that Peter Schiff noticed, as he again called Bitcoin a “failure.” Elsewhere, two SEC lawyers were allegedly forced to resign after a judge found a “gross abuse” of power by the agency in its case against Debt Box, and the SEC wants $5.3 billion from Terraform Labs and Do Kwon. Meanwhile, memecoin madness continues!

The much-anticipated fourth Bitcoin halving happened on April 20, and although it may not have endeared itself to mainstream media by spiking BTC’s price, it was fascinating both on a macro scale and in the finer details. In today’s episode, we’ll go through everything you need to know about the halving, from why it was unlike any before it to what that might mean for the price to some of the wild oddities of the 840,000th block. Meanwhile, we’ve got some interesting news about Tether and Telegram.

The Bitcoin halving is now less than 24 hours away, and the space is fizzing with activity. Hardcore Bitcoin hodlers set a record day for moving BTC to accumulation wallets, price volatility is moving in the right direction, and Bitcoin’s fees topped Ethereum’s for the third day in a row. Part of the reason fees are so high and are about to go parabolic is Casey Rodarmor’s new Runes protocol on Bitcoin, which launches with the halving. You will see mention of it everywhere over the coming weeks, so I will give you a succinct but comprehensive guide on what it is and why people are excited. For all this — and much more — carve yourself out just 15 minutes.
