Massive Japanese financial and biotech conglomerate SBI Group has signed an agreement with Solana Superteam Japan, a community promoting the growth of the trending blockchain in the country, to give out an exclusive NFT (non-fungible token) to SBI Web3 Wallet customers. Solana-based NFTs are currently dipping as of 7:00 a.m., January 8 (JST) with general market trends, but enthusiasm for the network in Japan is nonetheless pumping in terms of corporate backing. Tokyo-based SBI VC Trade Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Japan’s SBI Group, has announced an agreement with a community of Solana supporters on the archipelago to give away…

The former head of the world’s largest crypto exchange Binance, Changpeng Zhao, also known as CZ, has shaken the crypto space with an interesting post today. CZ, in his address to the public, attached a photo of a keyboard with the Alt key in focus. Zhao accompanied his post with a caption asking the question, “which key is available on Windows and Linux, but not on Mac?” The answer seems obvious from these two variables, but let’s just state it clearly: Alt. It seems that the only motivation for the former Binance boss to publish something like this is to…

Bitcoin has opened with a CME gap near the $99K mark, coinciding with its all-time highs. CME gaps are critical technical markers often revisited by Bitcoin during trading cycles. Closing this gap could create momentum but also raise volatility at this significant price level. Bitcoin started the week with not a very large CME gap just above its current price points. More notably, the gap is located near the absolute high of this indicator, exceeding $99,000 for the first time. As Bitcoin traded around this range, some experts believe this range could be bridged soon, while the fluctuations in cryptocurrency…

The XRP Ledger (XRPL) went down briefly on November 25, 2024. This stopped transaction processing for about 10 minutes. RippleX has since urged validators and node operators to upgrade their networks to the latest version, Rippled 2.3.0. This will make the network more stable and prevent similar problems. The network issue happened at around 13:39 UTC. Several XRPL nodes crashed and restarted, including Full History, Current Ledger, Pathfinding, and Submission nodes. What Caused the Disruption? During the instability, XRPL’s consensus mechanism focused on safety over progress, which delayed transaction processing. The network started working normally again at 13:49 UTC. No…

The start of 2025 brings the crypto industry to a critical juncture. The United States, under the second Trump administration, is expected to make a pivot on its crypto policy. And across the Atlantic, the European Regulation on Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA), the most comprehensive and ambitious legislation for virtual assets to date, became fully applicable. MiCA: Regulating Crypto in the EU A quick recap: MiCA’s first implementation date, June 30, 2024, applied to stablecoins (referred to as “Asset Reference Tokens” or “E-Money Tokens” under the MiCA-speak). Its second and final implementation date, December 30, 2024, brought all other…

FTX creditor Sunil Kavuri has highlighted how the SUI token’s recent performance represents a significant loss for the bankrupt exchange. In a post on X, Sunil noted that SUI reaching $5.20 with a $16 billion market cap meant that the 890 million SUI tokens that FTX sold for $96 million in March 2023 are now worth $4.6 billion. He posted on X: “FTX sold 890m Sui tokens (warrants) + equity to Mysten Labs for $96m in March 2023. These are worth $4.6 bn.” The bankrupt exchange sold the stake back to Sui network developer Mysten Labs in 2023, a few…

As bitcoin (BTC) trades under the $96,000 mark at 1 p.m. ET on Monday, prediction markets Kalshi and Polymarket reveal mixed expectations for the cryptocurrency’s potential to reach $100,000 within the coming months and throughout 2024. Analyzing $100K Betting Forecasts From Kalshi and Polymarket Kalshi and Polymarket, two prominent prediction platforms, highlight varied confidence levels regarding bitcoin’s milestone of $100,000.

This translates to 36 cents per “yes” contract and 66 cents for “no.” Kalshi odds at 1 p.m.…
