Algorand, a Layer 1 blockchain that has been in a long downtrend, recently experienced a sharp spike. This is akin to a sleep-deprived sloth suddenly sprinting-unexpected, but not entirely reliable. The move came after several developments, but the bigger picture remains as confusing as a cryptic message from a sentient toaster.
The first week of April already offers two brisk reminders that India’s crypto fraud epidemic is not inclined to take a holiday.
Meanwhile, Brent crude futures traded near $107, still below 2022 levels-a cruel joke, for the benchmark for actual crude cargoes now trades more than $34 above Brent futures, as if the physical world were a desperate lover shouting over a cacophony of financial noise.
