Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin has waded into the debate about the pricing of tickets and how non-fungible tokens (NFTs) can bridge the gap. Buterin’s statement comes as a reaction to comments made by the CEO of Live Nation-Ticketmaster that concert tickets are “underpriced.” Vitalik Buterin suggests NFTs can replace ticketing According to Buterin, tickets for these concerts or any event are usually stressful to obtain, as people stay up until 3:00 a.m. just waiting to snap up a slot.

It is one of the first large Canadian pension funds to use MicroStrategy as a way to gain Bitcoin exposure without directly buying or storing Bitcoin itself. MicroStrategy Shares Track Bitcoin Performance MicroStrategy has become the biggest corporate holder of Bitcoin, and its stock price is now essentially tied to Bitcoin’s performance. When…

An old Ethereum wallet that had not moved a coin in three years has suddenly decided that now is a good time to act, sending 2,086 ETH into stablecoins worth $9.48 million, spread across such stablecoins as DAI, USDC and RLUSD, with the sales executed through CoW Protocol. The interesting part is that this was not a full exit as the Ethereum OG still holds 2,779 ETH, valued at about $12.6 million. The move looks less like someone leaving ETH behind and more like someone who believes the $4,544 level is strong enough to justify locking in profit, while still…

Market analyst Jeff Walton said it’s a 91% chance that Strategy will succeed. However, the committee rejected the company. At the same time, Robinhood was approved for inclusion. What does Robinhood offer that Strategy does not?

ShapeShift usage from Iranian users alone made up 16,839 of these possible sanction violations. The exchange had no sanctions compliance program in place to check users for any possible violations,…

In an industry that prides itself on decentralization, a recent survey conducted by crypto exchange Kraken found that Americans are placing a premium on trust. After surveying 1,000 crypto users in the U.S., Kraken found that 79% of them were willing to pay “slightly higher fees” when purchasing crypto through an exchange that they trust, as opposed to saving some cash by using one that they don’t. According to Mark Greenberg, global head of consumer at Kraken, the data shows that crypto users in the U.S. aren’t chasing bottom-barrel fees default. Rather, the survey suggests that Americans are picking their…
