Is the BTC price decoupling from the stock market?

Nov 08, 2022

In the recent month or so, Bitcoin and crypto prices seem to be decoupling from stock markets. It's a promising sign that the correlation that seemed to last forever, might be breaking.

FTT tanks amidst concerns over FTX and Alamedas financial status

Nov 07, 2022

Last week a report from Coindesk raised concern in the crypto community. According to that report, Alameda research has billions of Dollars’ worth of illiquid assets in its balance sheet and took out loans using them as collateral. This is very similar to what we have witnessed during the lending crisis involving Terra, Celsius, Voyager and BlockFi. The price for FTT started tanking yesterday when the CEO of Binance announced that his company would sell about 23 million FTT which was worth $585 million at that time.

Crypto regulation: EU delays vote on MiCA

Nov 04, 2022

Markets in Crypto-Assets are the proposed regulation for the EU. After a long debate and an even longer process of formulating the new rules, the EU is one step away from adopting a unified regulatory approach to cryptos. Many crypto proponents feared that this particular step could change crypto for the worse, but it seems that it will change it for the better. Why has the final vote on MiCA been delayed, and what can we expect from the regulation under its new regime?

Outrage: Hydro-Québec attempts to shut down Bitcoin miners

Nov 04, 2022

Bitcoin is under constant attack by its critics and their biggest talking point is the energy consumption of the network that is caused by the miners. Many Bitcoiners had high hopes that with the mining industry opting for green energy sources this debate would sooner or later become obsolete.
