Mt. Gox moves $9.6B BTC to an unknown wallet, Memecoin team linked to GCR hack
That was a tumultuous 24 hours in crypto! We saw a sizeable rally across the board yesterday, with Ethereum rising as much as 3.5% on the day and narrowly missing the $4,000 milestone. But then, as quickly as it had risen, Bitcoin took a 2% haircut as Mt. Gox wallets moved a staggering $9.6B of Bitcoin to an unknown wallet! And while we're tracing wallets, ZachXBT releases his latest investigation that connects the GCR hack with the team behind the viral $CAT memecoin.Further reading:Ethereum...

Trump goes all in for crypto vote, Caitlyn Jenner launches successful memecoin?!
In some ways, that was a quiet, unassuming weekend; Bitcoin and Ethereum were both relatively stable, price-wise, and there weren't a great deal of interesting stories unfolding. But, outside of those two, it has been one of the strangest weekends on record. Donald Trump has doubled down on endearing himself to crypto voters, and then doubled down again, the Aptos blockchain hits absurd daily transactions amidst a viral "game", and Caitlyn Jenner launches her own memecoin. Or was it a deep fa...

Spot Ether ETFs officially approved by the SEC, so why isn’t ETH mooning?
There we have it: from near-certain denial just a week ago, the U.S. SEC has officially approved the 19b-4 filings for the spot Ether ETFs, giving the green light for them to begin trading. This unexpected news impacts crypto not just because Ether is confirmed to not be a security, with some heavy inflows expected, but also because many other tokens are now tacitly confirmed to not be securities. And yet, with all these reasons to be jubilant, the price of ETH is down. Let’s discuss why that...

Ether ETF becomes ‘giant political issue,’ FIT21 crypto bill passes
Today’s the day. In a matter of hours, we will find out whether VanEck’s spot Ether ETF application — the first through the door — will be approved or denied by the U.S. SEC. Fortunately, we have many indicators of the outcome, and we’ll take you through all the important ones. Elsewhere, but still in the U.S., the FIT21 crypto bill finds opposition from President Joe Biden and SEC Chair Gary Gensler, but it easily passes through the House of Representatives. For all this and much more, tune ...

‘It’s happening’ — spot Ether ETF applicants amend filings, SEC contact exchanges
The rumors that the U.S. SEC may be doing a 180 on the expected denial of spot Ether ETF applications have grown credible over the past 24 hours. At least five ETF applicants have amended their filings (with several making the same change), and the SEC has contacted exchanges looking to list the ETFs. This has spurred gains of over 20% for Ethereum in 48 hours, but other altcoins have slipstreamed their way up the charts too.Further reading:4 reasons why Bitcoin was (and still is) a buy below...

BTC, ETH go parabolic, spot Ether ETF shock, $2B Genesis settlement
What a 24 hours it’s been! Out of nowhere, the market started pumping, and Bitcoin rocketed north of $70,000. Ethereum’s pump made those gains look tame, and a good portion of the reason is centered on the U.S. SEC’s looming decision on whether to approve spot Ether ETFs in the United States. In today’s episode, we discuss what has changed, how crazy the last day has been for BTC, the Grayscale CEO stepping down, and the New York Attorney General’s $2 billion settlement with Genesis.Further r...
