Happy Friday, Crypto Fans and Winter Warriors! ❄️🛍️
Annika Lee here, your XtremCryptoBabe, wrapping up a week that’s been a mix of chilly chaos and exciting crypto developments. With Germany experiencing a serious bout of winter weather and traffic at a standstill, I’m daydreaming about warmer destinations. Who’s with me on planning a sunny getaway? 🌞✈️
While navigating the snowy streets, I discovered the ultimate bad-weather antidote: shopping! Ladies, trust me, there’s nothing like a little retail therapy to brighten a gloomy day. 🛒💃
Now, let’s dive into this week’s crypto highlights:
Bitcoin and Gold’s Growing Correlation: As Bitcoin becomes more accessible via ETFs, its correlation with gold is hitting historic highs. A fascinating development for market watchers! 📈💰
Diverse Blockchain Development: A report from Electric Capital reveals a 24% drop in crypto developers in 2023, with a shift towards building across multiple blockchains. The landscape is evolving! 👩💻🌐
Ethereum’s Scalability Leap: Ethereum’s Dencun upgrade on the Goerli testnet is a significant step towards solving scalability issues. Exciting times for Ethereum enthusiasts! 🚀🔧
Trump’s Crypto Stance: Regardless of your views on Trump, his vow to oppose U.S. CBDCs if reelected is noteworthy. It’s a stand against what he calls “government tyranny.” 🏛️💬
EU’s Tightening AML Rules: The EU’s provisional agreement on stricter AML rules for crypto firms is causing a stir. Transactions over €1,000 will require due diligence checks. 🇪🇺🔍
Tether’s Bitcoin Accumulation: Tether’s Bitcoin holdings have reached $2.8 billion. The stablecoin issuer is not shying away from crypto investments. 💼📊
Cathie Wood’s Bitcoin Prediction: Cathie Wood of ARK Invest believes Bitcoin will outshine gold in the global market. Her confidence in crypto over precious metals is unwavering. 🌟👍
Bitcoin’s Price Dip: Despite BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF breaking records, BTC’s price has plunged 12% in 7 days. A reminder of the market’s volatility. 📉😬
Crypto Crime Reduction: Good news! Crypto crime is down 29% in 2023, according to a Chainalysis report. A positive trend for the industry. 🛡️📉
SEC’s Delay on Ethereum ETF: The SEC has postponed its decision on Fidelity’s spot Ethereum ETF to March. Patience is key in the regulatory landscape. ⏳📜
Coinbase’s Role in ETFs: Coinbase continues to be a pivotal player in the new ETFs, handling conversions, storage, and more. It remains a staple in my HODL strategy, along with Microstrategy. 🏦💪
Tesla’s Tech Marvel: Aside from holding Bitcoin, Tesla wowed us with a video of their Optimus robot folding a shirt. If you haven’t seen it, you’re missing out! 🤖👕 [Optimus folds a shirt] and also worth checking … [Optimus Gen 2]
That’s a wrap for this week! Whether you’re braving the cold or enjoying a cozy weekend, I’m sending you all warm wishes and positive vibes.
