May 15: Our Money is Becoming Worthless

•

This week in the cryptocurrency sector showcased a mix of market dynamics, meme coin phenomena, and investment product performance. Starting with a breach in security, the Cypher Protocol experienced an insider theft from an exploit redemption contract, highlighting ongoing security challenges within crypto operations. In the meme coin arena, the Roaring Kitty Solana-based token experienced a significant surge, partly influenced by its association with the GameStop trading frenzy, illustrating the continuing influence of social media and retail investors on niche cryptocurrency markets.


ETF performance has also been noteworthy; Hong Kong's Bitcoin and Ether ETFs recorded $39 million in outflows, suggesting investor caution or profit-taking following recent market activities. However, broader market sentiments were somewhat positive as Bitcoin saw a 3.5% increase after U.S. consumer price data indicated a slowdown in inflation, which may ease concerns about aggressive monetary tightening. Adding to the enthusiasm in meme coins, Floki Inu also joined the rally, demonstrating the volatile and speculative nature of these assets.


Additionally, new financial products are emerging in the Nordic countries, where investors now have the opportunity to invest in a Bitcoin ETP (Exchange Traded Product) that offers a yield, broadening the scope of crypto-based financial instruments available to European investors. These developments reflect the ongoing volatility, innovative expansion, and complex interplay of social dynamics and economic indicators driving the cryptocurrency market.

  • June 17: Telecommunication Companies into Bitcoin Mining

    10:47
    Nigeria has dropped tax charges against Binance executives, a pivotal legal development that could alleviate regulatory pressures on Binance. However, it’s too early to relax. We still have money-laundering charge left with both executives' names on. Wait, wait, telecommunications are eyeing the bitcoin mining business. Chinese telecom provider Coolpad is set to purchase Bitcoin mining rigs, marking its entry into the cryptocurrency mining industry. Similarly, T-Mobile, a major telecom giant in Europe, is venturing into Bitcoin mining as well. T-Mobile's entry into this sector reflects the broader trend of mainstream companies recognizing the potential of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology, potentially leading to greater acceptance and integration of digital assets in traditional industries. In El Salvador, President Nayib Bukele has proposed the establishment of a Bitcoin bank, just two weeks into his second term. Will they be able to approve the Bank for Private Investment? Let’s see. Telegram's game "Hamster Kombat" has reached an impressive 150 million players, demonstrating the massive engagement potential of integrating gaming with cryptocurrency elements. News Links👇https://www.coindesk.com/policy/2024/06/14/nigeria-drops-tax-charges-against-binance-executives-family-spokesperson/ https://www.dlnews.com/articles/fintech/chinese-telecom-provider-coolpad-to-buy-bitcoin-minging-rigs/ https://www.cointribune.com/en/the-telecom-giant-t-mobile-is-getting-into-bitcoin-mining/ https://www.dlnews.com/articles/people-culture/president-bukele-proposes-bitcoin-bank-for-el-salvador-two-weeks-after-starting-second-term/ https://decrypt.co/235547/telegram-game-hamster-kombat-150-million-playersParticipate in DCN👇https://substack.com/@dcndailycryptonewshttps://twitter.com/DCNDailyCryptohttps://www.youtube.com/@DCNDailyCryptoNewsContact & Partnership inquiry👇matt@dailycryptonews.netsarah@dailycryptonews.net carlton@dailycryptonews.net——————————————————————***NOT FINANCIAL, LEGAL, OR TAX ADVICE!

  • Weekend Roundup May 31 - June 6

    47:39
    It’s our weekly roundup. Let’s dive into what caught our attention over the past week.First up, let's talk about Sarah's new nails – a rainbow of colors. She’s got her own unique style going, and it’s honestly the simplest nails she's ever done. When I asked if she did them herself or went to a Korean salon, she surprised me by saying she goes to a Russian one. Always full of surprises, Sarah.Anyway, let’s get into the news. On Friday, Sarah highlighted PayPal’s stablecoin, PYUSD, launching on Solana. Previously limited to Ethereum, this move could boost their market dominance despite their current low market share. Sarah’s skepticism about the need for another stablecoin, given the dominance of USDT, USDC, and DAI, made for a great discussion. With Tether reporting a $6.2 billion profit in 2023, it’s clear there’s big money in stablecoins.On Monday, Sarah passed the mic to me to cover Biden’s veto of the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin 121, which was a guidance on crypto custody by companies. Congress felt the SEC overstepped, but Biden backed the SEC, signaling potential anti-crypto sentiments. This move seemed more about supporting his appointed SEC chair rather than a direct stance against crypto. It’s a classic case of office politics in action.Tuesday was all about Roaring Kitty, the man behind the GameStop frenzy. He revealed he holds over $200 million in GameStop shares, causing the stock to surge 48%. This raised questions about market manipulation, but as Sarah and I discussed, it’s more about his influence and less about any foul play.By Wednesday, Bitcoin was back in the spotlight, crossing $71,000 with $880 million in ETF inflows. Fidelity, BlackRock, and ARK were major players, while Grayscale saw outflows. We debated the potential for Bitcoin’s value, with predictions ranging from conservative to wildly optimistic. The real question is, can the market sustain these high valuations?Finally, on Thursday, we discussed the innovative vision of Carl Pei and the Nothing Phone. Pei’s idea of integrating AI deeply into our phone usage could revolutionize how we interact with technology. The challenge will be balancing convenience with privacy concerns, as AI would need significant access to personal data to function effectively.That’s a wrap for this week’s review. Thanks for tuning in, and we’ll see you next time. Happy HODLing!
