[ad_1] Bitcoin, the flagship crypto asset, has long been nicknamed “digital gold” due to its store of value. With a market cap exceeding 1 Trillion, the crypto asset drives the price movements of basically every digital currency in the broader crypto landscape. Despite this, many have failed to tap into its rich potential due to constraints in its smart contract functionality. This is where BTCFi comes in. This phenomenon, otherwise called Bitcoin Decentralized Finance, is a feature that aims to transform Bitcoin into an active participant in the DeFi ecosystem. One platform pushing the BTCFi narrative is Core DAO. This…

[ad_1] Crypto exchange Kraken is under fire for letting controversial Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy “shit on its reputation” after he launched a number of memecoins that all crashed over 99%. Throughout February, Portnoy has promoted a number of coins that have rocketed, crashed, and made thousands of dollars in the process. Among these is a token with the ticker JAILSTOOL, which he is now committed to holding after previously claiming to have sold it all by accident while using the toilet. He’s currently getting flak for launching the tokens GREED and GREED 2. Lookonchain notes that he held 35.79%…

[ad_1] Despite recent acknowledgements by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on several spot crypto exchange-traded fund (ETF) applications, the agency is unlikely to make any decisions approving these products until its leadership is settled. “I would have been very very surprised if they approved any of these filings before [Paul] Atkins was confirmed at their first deadlines,” said James Seyffart, an ETF analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence. “It’s been our assumption that anything that can be pushed until Atkins is officially at the SEC, will be pushed back.” A person familiar with the matter told CoinDesk that they agree with…

[ad_1] Bitcoin (BTC) price’s recent journey has been a bumpy one, with its value seeing a pullback to around $93.5K. This brings into focus the critical $91K level, which serves as the average cost basis for short-term holders. BTC Price Takes a Hit Currently, Bitcoin‘s ability to sustain above this price is crucial for maintaining the bullish sentiment that pervades the market. Should this level hold, it might restore confidence among investors, potentially setting the stage for a recovery. However, those who bought in at or above $100K are now facing unrealized losses. The decision of this group to hold…

[ad_1] Liquidity issues affected users on two decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms today, though for different reasons and with widely differing consequences. In what appears to be user error, three sizable swaps of 220,000, 131,000, and 91,000 of Circle’s USDC stablecoin netted a total of just over 10,000 tethers (USDT) after falling victim to a maximum extractable volume (MEV) bot. The swaps, made via the Uniswap V3 decentralized exchange, were flagged by blockchain security firm Peckshield, which regularly alerts the DeFi community to hacks, phishing attacks, and suspicious transactions.

[ad_1] Even as Bitcoin finds some buoyancy following a better-than-expected U.S. inflation report, Ethereum has been lagging behind. Since the new CPI report landed early Wednesday, the Bitcoin price has gained 3% as it holds key support levels. Meanwhile, the Ethereum price has been playing catch up, seeing a 0.5% gain, Coingecko data shows. Tracy Jin, vice president of crypto exchange MEXC, told Decrypt that a successful implementation of Ethereum’s Petra upgrade could significantly strengthen the fundamentals of the second-largest blockchain. If the upgrade resolves issues with network throughput and transaction costs, she said, it could enhance Ethereum’s appeal and…

[ad_1] This is a segment from the 0xResearch newsletter. To read full editions, subscribe. Crypto is a volatile industry for primarily two reasons: 1) it’s permissionless (anyone can make a token) and 2) it’s still largely looking for product-market fit. What does this mean to a short-term trader looking to flip a quick buck? If you’re trying to frontrun the market, you’d want to know when a certain narrative is falling in (and out of) favor. You can then spend absurd hours doomscrolling Twitter and Telegram groups — or you can use Kaito, a Web3-focused search engine that scrapes troves…
