Crypto Advocate John Deaton to Bolster Coinbase’s Legal Challenge Against SEC
Tumblr media
Prominent cryptocurrency advocate and legal expert John Deaton is slated to file an amicus brief today, April 26, in support of Coinbase's petition for an interlocutory appeal. This move underscores a significant development in the ongoing debate over cryptocurrency regulation. According to Eleanor Terrett of Fox News, Deaton’s brief aims to address the critical demand for clearer regulatory guidelines within the digital asset space. His submission draws attention to what he perceives as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) erratic regulatory framework, which he argues has adversely affected industry stakeholders. Deaton's critique extends to the SEC's fluctuating stance on the classification of crypto tokens as securities. He is poised to leverage previous court rulings involving major cases like Ripple, LBRY, and

Ripple Adopts USDT for ODL Services in the U.S. Amid Regulatory Compliance
Tumblr media
Ripple, the prominent blockchain payments company, has transitioned its On-Demand Liquidity (ODL) services for U.S. clients from its native XRP token to Tether’s USDT stablecoin. This strategic pivot follows a pivotal court decision that declared the institutional sales of XRP tokens a violation of U.S. securities laws. In response to the legal constraints, Ripple has recalibrated its business operations by partnering with entities outside the U.S. to manage XRP sales to its ODL clientele. This realignment facilitates U.S. clients to employ USDT as a bridge currency in their transactions, thus ensuring compliance and continuity in services. Monica Long, President of Ripple, has been proactive in adhering to these regulatory demands, as noted by Moon Lambo, a prominent XRP-focused YouTuber. According to Moon Lambo, Ripple's s

The revival of crypto payments at Stripe is driven by the tangible i

BlackRock's IBIT ETF Observes No New Inflows for the First Time Since Launch
Tumblr media
The BlackRock iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), a pioneering figure in the U.S. Bitcoin ETF landscape, has recorded its inaugural day without new inflows since the advent of these funds in the United States this past January. Despite a robust beginning with continuous daily inflows amassing approximately $15.5 billion within the first 71 days, April 24 marked a notable shift as IBIT logged zero new investments. This stagnation in inflows was not isolated to BlackRock. The U.S. Bitcoin ETF market, comprising 11 registered funds, saw minimal activity with only the Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) and ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB) registering inflows of $5.6 million and $4.2 million, respectively. Conversely, the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust ETF (GBTC) reported significant outflows, losing $130.4 million on the same day, netting a

SEC Postpones Decision on Grayscale's Ethereum ETF Application
Tumblr media
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has postponed its decision regarding Grayscale's application to transform its Ethereum Trust into a spot Ethereum ETF. The regulatory authority has set a new decision deadline for June 23, as it requires additional time to review the proposal and address concerns highlighted in the amended application. In a detailed statement, the SEC expressed the necessity for an extended period to adequately assess the rule change proposal and its implications, as outlined in Amendment No. 1. This amendment is critical as it pertains to allowing U.S. national securities exchanges to list and trade this new type of ETF. Grayscale initially filed a Form 19b-4 with NYSE Arca in October, seeking to convert its existing Ethereum Trust (ETHE) into a spot ETF. This filing follows the successful

Surge in Scams Targeting Toncoin Investors Amidst Growing Blockchain Interest
Tumblr media
Cybersecurity leader Kaspersky has documented a marked increase in fraudulent activities aimed at holders of Toncoin, the native cryptocurrency of The Open Network (TON). This upsurge in scams coincides with heightened interest in the TON blockchain, notably since Telegram, the popular messaging service, enhanced its support for TON. From November 2023, a notable rise in deceptive schemes ensnaring Toncoin investors has been observed. These fraudsters typically entice victims via a Telegram bot purporting to be a secure cryptocurrency storage solution. Users are misled into linking their Web3 wallets to the bot, which subsequently coerces them into purchasing so-called "boosters" under the guise of facilitating earnings. Unfortunately, such purchases result in the irreversible loss of control over their digital assets. The

Shiba Inu Secures $12 Million Investment for Advanced Layer 3 Network Development
Tumblr media
The Shiba Inu project team has successfully secured a $12 million investment to propel the development of a pioneering Layer 3 network.

The anticipated test version of this Layer 3 network is slated for release in the third quarter of 2024, aiming to meet stringent regulatory standards while prioritizing the security and privacy of its users.

Tumblr media
In a strategic revival of efforts to bolster Switzerland's financial independence, a cohort of Swiss Bitcoin advocates, led by Yves Bennaïm of the non-profit think tank 2B4CH, has initiated a renewed campaign.

Yves Bennaïm, while addressing Neue Zürcher Zeitung on April 20, disclosed the final stages of preparations, which include the organizational setup and drafting of the necessary documents. These documents are slated for submission to the State Chancellery, marking the commencement of the referendum process.

BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF Experiences Continued Strong Inflows, Coinciding with the April 20th Halving Event
Tumblr media
In an era punctuated by financial innovations, Bitcoin, represented by its ticker BTC and priced at $64,748, has become synonymous with both volatility and viral culture. This week, the cryptocurrency sector not only celebrated the iconic April 20th halving event but also witnessed the continuation of a notable inflow streak into the United States' largest spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF). On the digital stage of X (previously known as Twitter), Bloomberg Intelligence's ETF analyst Eric Balchunas highlighted the serendipitous confluence of these events. Remarkably, the halving day coincided with the 69th consecutive day of inflows into BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), the foremost ETF in terms of assets under management within the domain.
