The net outflow of Bitcoin from exchanges over the past month suggests that investors have started to accumulate the cryptocurrency, says a CryptoQuant analyst. March has been largely dominated by Bitcoin ($BTC) outflows from crypto exchanges, aside from one spike in inflows just before the asset tapped a six-week high of $76,000 on March 17, according to CryptoQuant data. This negative net flow has remained present while Bitcoin “continues its liquidation phase,” the analyst known as Darkfost said on Wednesday. “This persistent outflow suggests genuine accumulation by investors, who continue to buy and withdraw their $BTC from exchange platforms,” he…

Coinbase (COIN) has quietly crossed a threshold that Wall Street would recognize immediately: it has become, by its own definition, the only full-service prime brokerage in crypto. John D’Agostino, head of strategy at Coinbase Institutional, said the definition of a prime broker still follows a familiar Wall Street checklist: trading, custody, financing, derivatives and cross-margining. In crypto, he added, there’s an extra layer, staking. “If you can do all of those at scale, you’re a prime,” he said. In equities and fixed income, only a handful of firms, Goldman Sachs (GS), Morgan Stanley (MS) and Bank of America (BAC), truly…

What Grayscale is actually proposing The company wants to convert its closed-end Zcash Trust, which manages over $200 million in assets, into an exchange-traded fund that holds actual $ZEC tokens.

A U.S. federal appeals court heard oral arguments on Thursday in the case of Roman Sterlingov, the founder of the now-defunct cryptocurrency mixing service Bitcoin Fog. The central question before the court is whether U.S. money transmission laws and the jurisdiction of Washington, D.C., can be applied to an internet-based service that operated primarily overseas.

His defense team argued that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) artificially created jurisdiction by conducting an…
