Safe Havens, Lawsuits, Pandora’s Boxes and 20 Crypto Jokes
This week we saw 55 contracts marking the first day of Bitcoin options on CME, ETF giant WisdomTree planing to launch a stablecoin, and 21 leading crypto industry players that'll advise OECD on blockchain. We looked into a report about the strongest validation of the BTC safe haven theory, and another one saying that if BTC and main altocins don't start a bull run, exchange tokens may decline, but also into a potential Bitcoin SV pump & dump as Craig Wright opened the Pandora's box. While only some exchanges matter for BTC discovery, Kraken took over Bit Trade, Liquid cancelled Gram presale, and corrupt OTC brokers sent dirty USD 1.5bn in BTC to Binance and Huobi. Speaking of Binance, it's eyeing the Japanese market with a Yahoo Japan and TaoTao partnership.
Bithumb’s biggest shareholder pulled out of a major lawsuit. Meanwhile, Polish competition watchdog called DasCoin a ponzi scheme, South Korea’s court will rule on the legality of the country’s partial crypto crackdown, the Communist Party of China approved a crypto and blockchain book designed for its high ranking government staff, Japan could accept regulatory proposals that would see leveraged trading caps slashed by 50% at the country’s crypto exchanges, and the UN told the Cryptoverse not to travel to the North Korean conference. We saw that new institutional investors helped Grayscale Investments raise over USD 600 million in 2019. We looked into Ethereum 2.0, and as pre-Bitcoin halving race pushed mining difficulty to record high, we discussed if BTC halving pattern will repeat this year. Finally, check out these do's and don'ts of staking and this VC 'playbook’ for cryptocurrency startup success.
Here are your well-deserved jokes. Enjoy!
