For most of the past 12 months, it’s been better to own bitcoin (BTC) than Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) stock. Indeed, over the past 250 trading days through yesterday’s close, MSTR has underperformed BTC 90% of the time. Although founder Michael Saylor promotes his common stock as a leveraged play on BTC — and BTC has doubled over the past 12 months — timing is always what makes or breaks an investment. Sure, MSTR has rallied 152% over the past year, which is certainly better than the 98% rally in BTC. However, unless investors held for those entire 12 months or…

Curve’s decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) approved a proposal to provide Yield Basis, a new protocol developed by Curve founder Michael Egorov, with a $60 million credit line in crvUSD stablecoin ahead of its mainnet launch. The vote cleared the way for Yield Basis to introduce Bitcoin-focused liquidity pools designed to eliminate impermanent loss — when assets in a liquidity pool dip in value compared with simply holding them. The protocol also aims to unlock yield opportunities in Bitcoin (BTC) in decentralized finance (DeFi).

Its price movement comes as U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs notched inflows of $757.1 million Wednesday, per SoSoValue, an eight-week high. In total, U.S. ETFs have accumulated $1.39 billion worth of Bitcoin in September. “These inflows were largely driven by the excellent news from the PPI numbers, which came in much better than expected,” DarkFrost, a pseudonymous verified analyst at CryptoQuant, told Decrypt. Bitcoin’s recent push beyond $113,000 is an “encouraging sign,” according to DarkFrost, who noted that…

Assistant Treasurer Daniel Mulino announced the reforms on Wednesday at the Digital Economy Council of Australia’s Global Digital Asset Regulatory Summit.  He described the bill as the “cornerstone” of the government’s digital asset roadmap, published in March, and said it would align Australia with international peers.   “This is about legitimizing the good actors and shutting out the bad,” Mulino said. “It is about giving businesses…

Washington is finally paying attention to the full spectrum of crypto issues; earlier this week, it was the Bitcoin reserve, and soon it’s privacy. On October 17, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will hold a public roundtable on financial surveillance and privacy.

Link a social identity to a wallet, and an economic life becomes a public feed. This level of data exposure can’t be overlooked in the upcoming public roundtable.. Zero-knowledge…
